fornia, where the fiat salary system
has long prevailed The cost is enor-
nous there, in comparison to the low
cost in Oregon Salaries alone to en-
ployes in California's printing de-
partment during the legislature of
1909 were $71 1.O95.S5, and it was
doubtless higher in 1911, for appro-
priations for legislative printing in
California for the session of 1911
were $4,000. But my bills against
the state of Oregon for all the print
ing for the legislative session of 1911
were but $714079.
Also, California has $315,000 in
plant Interest on that sum at 6 per
cent with but per cent for wear
and tear, depreciation and up-keep,
amounts to $44,100 a year, which is
printer for salaries of all his en-
ployes and expenses of every nature.
oregon, take notice, gets all her i'm
mense amount of work in the print
ing department without a cent in
plant or up-keep for less than Cal
ifornia's expense in keeping a plant.
Do taxpayers grasp the point?
think they do, and that they know
why the Socialist agitator, Harris,
wants the state to break it's contract
with me, so that he and his fellows
may put their eXtravagant system
into Oregon, for their own benefit and
the financial loss of the state.
The way to beat the Harris-Hill-
Godfrey scheme is to vote "329XNo"
on November 5 and 1 shall continue
then, as now. to give Oregon the
cheapest public printing known in the
United States.

Definition of Tact.

Tact is a combination of good tenn per, ready wit, quickness of perception and ability to take in the exigency of the occasion instantly. It is never of. fensive, but is a balm allaying suspt cion and soothing. It is appreciated It is plausible without being dishonest apparently consults the welfare of the second party, and does not manifest any selfishness. It is never antagonis tic, never opposes, never strokes the hair the wrong way and never irrt tates.
 Tact, like a fine manner, eases the way, takes the jar out of the jolts oils the bearings, opens doors barred to others, sits in the drawing-roon when others must wait in the recep tion hall, gets into the private office when others are turned down. It ad mits you into exclusive circles, where wealth abounds, even though poor It secures the position when merit is turned away. Tact is a great mana ger; it easily controls people, even when combined with small ability where genius cannot get along.
The Holbrook news., 1912-08-09

points out that not only our own civi- lization but that of Great Britain has been built up from the very beginning by successive waves of new blood. Of these those best fitted to the new en- vironment survive, while those i'll fitted perish. This is an immutable law of nature.
 ''Very few of the descendants of the signers of the Declaration of h. dependence are in public life and most of them are nonentities," says Colonel Woodruff, while immigrants and the sons of immigrants are in the seats of the mighty"
 Analyzing the lists of American winners in the Olympic games of 1906 and 1908, he finds that at least three. fourths of the American competitors were of "stocks which arrived here after the beginning of the nineteenth century, and the great majority of them arrived in the two or three decades following 1S40." Of those who won the first, second or third place, ten per cent. were foreign born, about 43 per cent. were native born of foreign parents and only 47 per cent. were native born of native par. ents. "Considering the names" he continues, s'it is safe to say that S5 per cent. or more of the winners are of stock which immigrated since 1S40." Colonel Woodruff notes that the ma jority of these athletes were of north ern or blond stock.
 Contractors who employ large mum bers of laborers say that for a piece of work requiring tremendous strength they always select a Scandinavian, 9 Scotchman or a fair-haired Irishman. while for work that requires the steady exertion of great strength fo1 long periods they prefer an Italian The former can lift the enormous weight, the latter can wield heavy sledgehammer for eight or ten hours
 Colonel Woodruff's studies prove that the immigration of northern peo ples is producing a race of athletes. The experience of employers of Ia borers proves that the immigration o. southern peoples is bringing great staying power and stamina. When the two shall have been fused in the melt ing pot the resulting metal ought tc De ideal.

His Job.

Every morning as he set forth tc work a young man in Washington passed clean, pleasant-faced. black mustached man, followed by a joviaI looking dog.
 The two met so regularly that they got to nodding to each other, neither with the remotest idea who the other was. From holding they passed to the "good morning" stage, and one day the younger man paused to pat the other mans dog. They fell to discussing different brands of dogs, and the black mustached man said he regretted that such small yards prevail in Washing ton, as he was used to having several logs around. Evidently he hadn't lived ln Washington long.
 You're in the government service 2" inquired the young man.
 The other man owned up that he was.
 Whats your job?" pursued the young man.
 "Oh, I'm secretary of war;" replied Stimson, modestly.
