THE WITTE OF MEXICO.

President Diaz has been wise in his
selection of men. His present min
lister of finance, Jose Yves Liman-
tour, had his training in the troubled
school of nineteenth century Mexican
finances. He has the Frencliman's
intellectually and his finesse in
financial affairs; the Spaniard's
business acumen. He began his up
building soon after the Romero ad-
ministration baked. To the fbunda-
ton which he then laid he has added
each year. witnessing the change
from penury to sufficiency, If not ma
tional plenty, and raising a monument
to himself as a financial genius, Ii
mantour is to Mexico what Witte was
to Russia. The antecedents of the
two men were different as Witte was
self-made and Limantour inherited
one of the largest fortunes in Mexico.
The minds of the two men ran in the
same groove. They had similar prob
lens to conquer. Witte became too
powerful for the car and his court.
and has descended to the mediocrits
of private banker They call Diaz
czar. There are numerous instances
of suppression from the palace of
men with brains and force. but with
political ambitions which placed them

ON THE WRONG SIDE.

From all indications the Pendleton
high school debating team lost the
championship debate at Eugene last
night because the team was forced
to uphold the unpopular side of the
subsidy question. In the previous de-
bates in which the local students par
ticipated they upheld the negative and
always won with ease Upon that side
of the question the debators had a
mass of effective argument and they
presented the same in very forci-
Bile way. However the arbitrary ac-
ton of the state committe forced the
team to take the opposite side of the
question for the closing debate and
as a result most of the previous work
counted for but little. That the
judges have been unconsciously influ-
enced by their personal views upon
the subject is indicated by the fact
that during the series of debates held
among the high schools Of the state
no team upholding the ship subsidy
doctrine won victory.

VERY CONVENIENT MAST.

jogging along down under the equa-

"And she foundered, of eourse?'
"No, sir. The water began rushing
in and she would have foundered,
but there came a second flash and a
bolt struck the fore-to' gallant mast.
1t was cut off near the top, turned
bottom end up, and as it came down
it entered the hole and plugged it up
as tight as a drum. When we got
down to dry dock we simply sawed
off either end and left the plug in the
planks. s."-Selected

a long and useful life. He was a
good husband, father and citizen.
He played valuable part in the de-
of this county and of east
ern oregon. He was fine type of
the sterling citizenship of the early
days and his name deserves a place
in the list of hardy, courageous men
who tanned the frontier and made the
west ready for civilization. He has
gone upon the last long journey but
he did not go until his work was done.

THE OLD COCK HIMSELF.

1t was former archbishop of York
DR., Thomas-who appeared once
in the role of coachman. He had at
tended an evening party, and on leav-
ing the house discovered that his
coachman was drunk.
There appeared nothing for it but
to drive home himself, and the arch
bishop, after placing the smiling but
unconscious coachman inside the car
riage, mounted the box and took the
reins
The monotony of the homeward
journey was broken by wheel of the
carriage coming into violent collisi on
with stone just outside the entrance
to Bishopthorpe.
The lodgekeeper, unable to recog-
nize the approaching figure in the
darkness, called out cheerily: Hello,
Bill drunk again? And blowed if
you amt got the old cocks hat on"
cts the old cock himself" grave
ly responded his grace.-Selected.

SUCH \ DELUSIoN.

In the course of a very enthusiastic
editorial the Baker City Herald re-
Gently said:
This city is the county seat. It is
the metropolis of eastern Oregon and
always will be. 1t is the city that
carries the large stock of goods; that
has wholesale and jobbing houses;
that is, in fact, the supply point for
all the eastern Oregon interior coun-
try, and nothing can change that con-
dition."
Tut, tut. This is really laughable.
Baker City is a good little town and
it has some very progressive people.
But the town is about as much en-
titled to be called the metropolis of
eastern Oregon as is Pilot Rock.
To begin with Baker City is in no
sense of the word a typical eastern
Oregon town. 1t is a mining town,
like Sumpter, Granite and other places
that rely for support upon those who
delve into the earth for metal. When
the mines are running full time these
towns do WE'LL when the mines close
down the grass grows up in the streets
as it is now doing in Sumpter.
Then Baker City is situated in one
corner of the state. 1t is over near
the Idaho line and is connected with
the rest of the state by single rail-
road. There are but two or three
trains a day in and out of the city.
All the jobbing and wholesale busi-
ness that Baker City does could be
put in your ear"
Pendleton is the zone and only"
chief city of eastern Oregon. By vir-
tue of its position it is the central
point for this portion of the state.
Three fourths of eastern oregon lies
closer to Pendleton than to Baker
City. Pendleton has some transporta-
tion facilities. Aside from connection
with two transcontinental lines there
are a number of branch lines running
out of the city. Sixteen passenger
trains run into Pendleton daily. Last
year more wool was shipped from
Pendleton than from any other point
west of the Mississippi. If there is
ever going to be a ''jobbing point in
eastern Oregon, Pendleton will be
that point.
Again Pendleton is a real eastern
Oregon point. 1t is the center of an
agricultural, stockraising and hor-
ticultural section. This town does not
depend upon mining schemes.
But then what's the use. Everybody
knows the situation. They all know
the Baker City people and the pc
culiarity they have of imagining
things. 1t is characteristic of those
who live in such towns to be full of
hope and here's hoping that the es-
teemed Evening Herald enjoys the
delusion under which it is laboring.

That sweeps all barriers from its patti
And recks not right or wrong?
The passion of the wind, love,
Can never last for long.
Shall I love you like the fire. love,
With furious heat and noise,
To aweken in you all loves fears
And little of loves joys?
The passion of the fire, love,
Whateer 1t finds destroys.

Set in the heavenly blue,
That only shine the brighter
After weeping tears of dew
Above the wind and flame, love,
They love the ages through.

To wage their boisterous wars
Then we shall only be, love,

GALL AROUND MEN"

President Lowell, the new head of
Harvard university. has announced
that it is his ambition to turn out
"all around men," This brings forth
the remark that in this age of speci-
alization there is a tendency to ne
glect the element of symmetry in edu-
cation. Should specialization be car
ried too far the result will be as bad
as that from the old educational sys-
tenn under which students were con-
fined entirely to academic paths and
were never given a glimpse of the
practical highways upon which they
were later 10 travel in actual life.
The first aim of schools should be
to develop the man. One cannot be-
come a lawyer, a physician or an en-
gineer until he has first become a
man. The better all around man he
is the better he should do in his
chosen profession. President Lowells
idea of the all around man probably
makes such a man a well developed
being, physically, mentally and moral
ly: and in addition to being we'll ball
anced he is supplied with good theo-
retical and practical knowledge of the
world in which he lives and Is embued
with desire to play his part in, the
game to the very best of his ability OF
such men as this the world always has
need. 1t is from men who are poorly
balanced and who look upon the world
with unframed eyes that the ranks Of
anarchists and other undesirables are
recruited.
In order to turn out properly bal
anced young men and women school
courses should embrace both acade-
mic and practical subjects. The SCI
ences and the modern languages
should be taught along with Latin
and Greek. Botany, organic chemis-
try, mechanics and other practical
subjects may be used along with al
zebra and geometry. Athletics as well
as literary work should be encouraged
and the social side should not be ne
elected.
AS a matter of fact the schools of
the present time, at least the more
progressive institutions, are offering
courses that tend to develop the "all
around man."

in opposition to Diaz He has never
tried to curb Limantour, however,
even when his finance minister was a
popular candidate for the presidency.
Diaz knows that the best anti-toxine
for the fever Of revolution in Mexico
is commercialism whose. reaction is
the fever of gold. To develop Mexico
on material lines has been and is Lii
mantour's work. An intimate study
of his work in the last decade will
reveal him to the unprejudiced mind
as one of the ablest financiers of our
times.-American Review of Reviews

After a man has drawn near to the
ripe old age of 80 years his life's
work is about ended and the grim
messenger must be expected. o. r.

death could not have been many years

Sunday in Neyada

Senator Newlands, of Nevada, tried
some ortorical sharp shooting in the
senate the other day at industrial
conditions in Pittsburg, of which one
scandalous feature was the fact that
many mill men work seven days in
the week. His criticism reused sena-
tor Oliver, of Pittsburg, who respond
ed with what might becalled, ''An Ode
to Sunday in Nevada" to this effect
"For my sins 1 was condemned to
spend Sunday in the state of Nevada
within the last year, and i know there
is no such thing known as Sunday in
the state. 1t is the universal custom
there to work seven days in the week
/ myself have some interests in that
states and my associates and I endeav-
ored to induce the operatives to work
only six days in the week, but were
unable to do so, they saying that it
was the custom of the country to work
seven days, and that they did not
know that there was such a day as
Sunday. 1t is a state where the faro
table and the roulette table are a part
of the Punishment of every hoted in
the state-not of the barroom, but of
the office part of the establishment
and guests cannot get away from it.
I spent one day-the sorriest day I
ever spent-in the city which is the
senator's home. The only place where
I could get away from the rattle of
dice and the clink, clink Of the faro
chips was by going to the Carnegie
library, given to the city of Reno by
one of Pittsburg's millionaires."
