 ROCHESTER,, Nov. 7.-The Amer ican Federation of Labor which is now in session here has for the principal subject of discussion the advisabiiity of forming distinct political pa: : of it's own.
 The delegates present appear to be- lieve that the formation of straight labor party would receive support from the majority of those who now vote the socialist ticket and that a very great part of the regular demo- cratic vote throughout the country could be depended upon.

WHAT is A sPoRTe

by the will of a wealthy citizen who
left 100000 to the National League
for the Promotion of Physical Cul-
ture. the French courts and the
French Academy have been confront
ed by perplexing problem. The
bequest was made for the purpose of
encouraging Sport In the French
dictionary there is no such work. The
term is well enough understood by the
public. but has no meaning in law
or literature. Hence arises a diff
Guilty in constituting the will.
1t is believed that the academy will
adopt the word and define it as mean
ing: "A combination of muscular eff
forts intelligently directed. accom-
plished by men and animals and reg
ulated with sufficient ingenuity for
mankind to find amusement in it."
That definition would include dane
ing, as well as croquet and mumble-
the-peg. 1t would exclude lynching,
which has been defined as the king
of outdoor sports and also poker and
other games whose adopts are gener-
ally known among us as real live
sports"
Whether automobiling as now prac-
ticed can be defined as "a combina-
ton of muscular effort intelligently
directed" is questionable; yet it pass
es undisputed as sport. On the other
hand, street-parading behind brass
band on civic holidays, though gem
orally regulated with sufficient in
genuity for mankind to find amuse-
ment in it," is not called asport. FL

pear that sport is anything a sporty
person likes. If the French court be
wise it will set the bequest aside on
the ground that it is opposed to pub

this is so, perhaps, not altogether be-

has never seen anything like 1t in

ity; and there is nothing in the table
lands and low, rolling hills of Mon

these rugged, steep-sded plains and
valleys of Mexico. Then, again, there
is something so wild, primitive and
picturesque in the very appearance
and dress of the vaqueros, apart from
the country itself and the brilliant
colorings, that the stamp of COM
merce fades into the background. The
mules and raw, bleeding beef, the
short jackets, tight pantaloons, i'm
mense hats and altogether fierce as
pect of the riders, seem more like a
pant of some barbaric pilgrimage than
a peaceful quest on a matter of hon

think they can accomplish good by in
vestigating what they class as the
money trust, Others lay all trouble
to the tariff. Some think the solu-
ton lies in regulation by the govern
ment of the prices charged by trusts
Others favor the gradual acquisition
by the government OF public utilities
and the Improvement of the public
service with view to greater and
greater participation by the govern
ment in the industrial and business
life of the country.
Whatever people may think as to
the proper course to pursue it must be
admitted by all that the people have
a problem to solve that is fully as diff
fioult if not more perplexing than
anything that ever before arose in the
history of the country.

THE FURNACE.

The following essay Is furnished by
a reader who is afraid George Fitch
may not find time to do justice to the
subject:
THE furnace is the original cause
for the necessity of the phrase, 1.-THE
perversity of inanmate Objects
Its efficiency at producing pro-
tanity is unsurpassed, even by the
proverbial lost collar button
1T is claimed by some that the
furnace was invented by the coal
man, but there is no more proof of
this than there is that the ice man
invented hot weather, that John d.
invented oil or that the milkman in
vented water.
There are two sets of rules for
running a furnace.
"One Is to turn on the drafts, in
which case it will burn out, and the
other is to close the drafts, in which
case it will go out of its own accord.
1T Is similar to the cigarettist in
that it is usually brisk and robust at
bedtime, but completely down and
out when it is time to get up in the
morning.
ut is built of heavy. galvanized
material, and is firmly attached to
the basement floor. This is to pre-
vent it from being precipitated into
the alley each Sabbath morning.
When the weather is bitterly cold
the furnace should be carefully
wrapped in blankets to keep it from
freezing.
THE requisites for running a fur
ness are one shaker, one poker, fif-
teen cords of kindling, fifteen tons
of coal and an unlimited amount of
patience.
NO two-flat building is complete
without a furnace. and few two-flat
buildings are comfortably warm with
them. Any man who has successful
ly manned furnace for two seasons
can die in peace, knowing that IL his
most bitter enemys wish should
come true he will at least be famil-
lar with his new job TOD HUD."

\ DIFFICULT PROBLEM.

In yesterdays issue of the East Ore
gonian some information was given
concerning the electric trust and the
workings of that part of the octipus
that ramifies the northwest. 1t is not
pleasing state of affairs that is re-
vealed, by any means,
What frightens people though is not
so much the existence of individual
trusts as the growing belief that the
country is becoming beset with com
binations of combinations" Cover
nor Woodrow Wilson describes it as
private control of business"
In a speech at the Jackson Day
banquet in Washington a few weeks
ago he criticised private control of
politics and then spoke in this way:
'Now, the other thing that has been
privately controlled in this country is
the business of the country. 1 do not
mean that each mans particular busi-
ness ought not to be privately con-
trolled, but 1 mean that the great bus
mess transactions of this country are
privately controlled by gentlemen
whom l can name and whom I will
name, if it is DESIRED men of great
dignity of character; men, as believe,
of great purity of purpose, but men
who have concentrated, in their own
hands. transactions which they are
not willing to have the rest of the
country interfere with.
| Now, the real difficulty in the
United States, gentlemen. it seems to
me, is not the existence of great in
dividual combinations-tha is dan
gerous enough in all countries-but
| the real danger is the combination of
the combinations, the real danger is
that the same group of men control
chains of banks, systems of railways,
whole manufacturing enterprises,
great mining projects, great enter
prises for the developing of the nat
ural water power of this country, and
that threaded together in the person
mel of series of boards of directors
is community of interest more for
midable than any conceivable COM
bination in the United States"
Other public men are pointing out
the same problem and are discussing
how to handle it. Some congressman

This is Mexico-Mexico of the cat
tie country, the new cattle country.
And the four men riding silently
across the clearing in the glow of the
sunset were Mexican cowboys. They
sat gracefully astride mules, with
their serapes (blankets) wound close

raw beef, bleeding and uncovered,
dangling from his saddle. They We're

night of the great rodeo (round-up)
which would begin on Babicora Plain

This mountain phase of the work
is only one of the features of the
Mexican cattle business that excites
even the American cowboys emo
tons. There are other things that
greatly impress him-the immense
sizes of the rodeos and remudas
(herds of saddle-horses taken along
by the vaqueros for use in the ro-
deos), and the extreme poverty, sim
plicity and primitive, daredevil fear
lessness of the vaqueros. But after

things, after he has lived for months
on the Mexican range. and has taken
part in a dozen rodeos. his most last

THE OREGON JONAH.

The Portland Oregonian is enlisted
in the equal suffrage campaign that
is to be carried on again this year.
If the suffrage leaders desire success
it might be well for them to Harvey
ize" that support. The Oregonian
has been such persistent foe of
everything that stood for the political
or educational advancement Of the
state that some people may look upon
its advocacy of suffrage as sign
there is something wrong with the
move. But perhaps the trend tow
ards equal suffrage is so strong that
the amendment can be carried this
fall regardless of the handicap.

ter Users association in fighting the
Extension. Also we presume he tes-
titled as has Mr.. Hurd that they were
warned about that infringement early
IN December. Perhaps too he ex-
planned why it was no correction was
ever made and why the unfair letter
to President Taft was not recalled. If
he did he should have told also why
