STAMPS FOR CHARITY.
How French Government May Raise
Money For Poor Consumptives.


Money For Poor Consumptives.
ut will be a practical and easy way
of aims giving and the government
will not lose anything by it," is the
argument an important body of phi
lanthropists is using to convince the
French deputies of the wisdom of their
latest charitable project-that a new
postage stamp be issued and sold for
twice the price marked on it, half 60
ing to the state and the other half to
the support of INDECENT consumptives.
A person wishing to send letter to
a foreign country would buy a ''hu-
manitarian stamp" as it is called, for
10 cents instead of the usual cents.
This scheme originated with DR.. Van
Wayenburg and has already been
adopted in Holland, where it has met
with considerable success, says a Paris
cable to the Chicago Record Herald.
The Dutch stamps, twice the size of
the ordinary ones, will be specially de
signed by Artist der Kinderen of the
Holland Fine Arts academy. The sym
bOls on them represent various means
Of vanquishing tuberculosis, such as a
head of wheat and the stalk, which
stands for wholesome food and a dove,
which calls to mind fresh air.

SPINNER OF GOLDEN WEBS.
Hartman Has Achieved Enormous
Railroad Power In Nine Years.


Less than nine years ago e. Fl. Har-
riman, the master spinner, began to
weave a web of railroad power. In the
sweep of the first few concentric rings
lay the old Union Pacific. not SO very
glorious a prey. On it the spinner fat
tened and grew strong, to spin yet
other circles, says a writer in World
Work A little labor and, 10! within
the still narrow sweep of the web lay
the Oregon system, the Chicago and
Alton, the Kansas City Southern. The
corner grew cramped The great me-
chanic stretched far out across the
continent and fastened upon San Fran
cisco a single arm of the wool of the
web. The circles grew greater. By the
end of 1905 they held the whole of the
Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific
the Oregon lines, the San Pedro, safe
against assault from without or strug-
gle from within The first few filmy
threads had wound about the Santa Fe.
Only the mighty hands of Hill and
Morgan had saved the Burlington and
the Northern Pacific.
If this was a mighty web, think of
the web that he spins today! Far
down to the gulf, threading the Mis-.
sissippi valley, lie the thick meshes.
Within their folds struggles the Illinois
Central, great, powerful, rich. And all
its greatness, power, riches, serve but
to make the hunter keener and avail
not one i0ta for defense against the
spinner of the web. Yet other arms
stretch out to grasp the gates Of New
York, the harbors of Philadelphia and
Norfolk The coils lie entwined about
the Baltimore and Ohio the Norfolk
and Western, the ST. Paul, the New
York Central, the Santa Fe, the Penn
sylvania railroad. How long will it be
before they tighten?

Coming.

The sun is on the ellum tree
And warns the live oaks boughs,
And where the wayside thickets are
One hears the glad carouse
OF Wild birds planning their wee homes
And hears the field larks sing,
And all the world is waking up
To sing a song of spring
Soon, soon, the burning trash pile now
Will send it's sitting reek
Into each nook and Granny, and
The prim housewife will seek
Each speck of dirt and stir it up
And chase it round about,
Roll up the mating and the rugs
And hang the carpets out.
Soon, soon, the poor, bedeviled man
Will long for desert isles
Or-rather than house cleaning time
For grim war rent defiles;"
Soon will the ichor of the spring
Stir him till he shall wish
To go far from the madding mop
To some loved spot and fish.
Soon will the wife who charmed us 80
In days agone arise
From bed by early candle light,
Grim purpose in her eyes;
Bid us goodby abstractedly
And at the short days close
Meet us with dust rag round her head
And smut spot on her nose.

sTRINGENcy, NOT INSOLVENCY.

The closing Of the doors Of the Title,
Guaranty & Trust Company, at Port
land, on Wednesday, is not the cheer
fullest sign of present conditions in the
Northwest, but we are hugging the
theory in this case that stringency, and
not actual insolvency. is at the bottom
OF the shutting up Of this famous in
stitution; and this in spite OF the fact
that the Portland clearinghouse knew
enough of the Trust Company's affairs
to warrant it in Withholding bankable
support from it. The fact that the
parties who are directly responsible for
the appointment of a receiver have
placed its shortage at $4,000 in a
business Of approximately $s,OoO,oOO.
indicates a working chance for recovery
when the clouds roll by
At all events, this is season when the
real weaklings are likely to be squeezed
out of the running. and the purging
must result for the common benefit
everywhere. We hope, that the Port
land concern will come through in gooi
shape and "resume business at the old
stand" just as soon as it can catch
long, easy breath.

DEPOSITS, THE RULE HERE.

Taking the weeks business at the
Astoria banks up to last evening, the
rule has prevailed that deposits have
held their own against all manner OF
demands, restricted as the latter have
been under the iay.to-day holidays pre-
scribed by the Governor, and the sum
OF them now shows slight excess in
the gross business of the three con.
Germs. All Of which is proof positive Of
the hard eomrhon,sense OF the average
Historian, when it comes to meeting an
emergency. We are glad to be able to
report these things. because it informs
an eagerly curious world OF the stead
fast policy that governs in this com.
munity during this trying season. and
serves as an example for such as may
be disposed to dictate harsher lines OF
action. To keep cool at crisis is
immensely creditabls to a person or q
community, and has its effect long
