HOUGH ON TAME RIDERS
President Roosevelt >back in Wash
ington after an energetic vacation a1
Oyster Bay, even before going on his
hunting trip has started trouble for
those who admire the placid life. He
has taken advantage of the absence of
Secretary of War Tatt to be acting
Secretary himself, for a little while.
An order has been Issued that all staff
officers of the United State's army shall
indulge in a fifteen-mile horseback ride
The idea is to determine whether
they shril continue to practice horse
manship in automobiles and carriages
ot really ride astride. The President
having put the stamp of his approval
on the practice of women equestrians
riding with one leg to port and one to
starboard is determined to deny no
privilege to the sterner sex that he ac
cords to athletic femlDinity.
Most of the skilled tacticians of the
general staff are said to be able to tell
a horse fiom a mule at first sight, but
it is asserted that only their astra*
bodies have been in contact with a good
o!d McClellan tree, rawhide covered
saddle in these many years. They have
been riding in the same manner that
the gallant mariner Crowninshield
sailed? at a roll top desk. It naturally
follows that there Is no end of anxiety
and fear of the future In the higher
army circles.
The tame riders are to stait early to
morrow morning. By evening there
will be an unequaled demand iu Wash
ington for witch hazel, arnica and half
soles.
DOES NOT THIS PAPER PUT?
TLe publication of the Pacific Chris
tian Advocate, according to the testi
mony of elders and editors, has do'
through all of its more than forty year'
paid its way. That is to say, it 1ias
through all of Its years been printed at
a financial )<?$. There is another note
in this cry, however? a note of tender
ness born of long association and of ad
miration that is voiced by the spirit
which comes down through the years?
a sort of bene liction upon the self-deny
lng effort by which alone the paper has
been able to live through these strug
gling years.
It seems incredible that thi> faithful
organ and exponent of the great Meth
odist Episcopal Church in the Pacific
Northwest should always be in financial
straits, always making a pitiful plea
for support, always tottering upon the
verge of dissolution or absorption.
Though from a financial standpoint a
failure, who shall say that the earnest
effort made by the Advocate h?s not
borne the fair fruitage of spiritual com
fort to many hearts and done its part in
keeping the evidence of things unseen
alive in many homes? We are so ac
customed to hear that the Advocate is
in straits that we are prone to forget
the intangible yet real assets that are
held to its credit in the life of a wide
and eyer widening civilization in which
it has long borne its part.? Portland
Oregonian.
To make a paying newspaper these
days it is necessary to strip it of all
sentimentality; eater to no creed nor
favorite enterprise; adhere strictly to
the interest* of the people, and give its
readers all the news. The efforts of
the Advocate were not along these lines,
yet they made for good, but it was not
appreciated. Its loo bad.
GOING HOME
The tra'n tonight is bringing 193
passengers, most of whom will try to
get away on tonight's boat.? Skagway
Alaskan.
And its dollars to doughnuts that
191 of them are for territorial govern
ment. Nearly all these summer Alas
kans who come here to get a few dol
lars to take home to Wisconsin in the
fall are for territorial government.
But the other seven out of the even
two hundred will live in Pairoanks this
winter. They have their homes and
their property there and they are op
posed to territorial government.? Ju

The above is juit as sensible as .my o!

torlal government bv the reptile press.
HE WHO BLESSES
Give men their gold and knaves thc.i
power;
Let fortune's bubbles rise and fall;
Who plows ? field, or trains a flower,
Or plants a tree is more than all.
For he who blesses most is blessed,
And God and man will own his worth
Who seeks to leave as his bequest
An added beauty to the earth.? ex

Secretary Taft says war with Jap?n
would be criminal. Large Willi tin is
quite correct. It would be murder and
the little brown men would be the vic

coincide with the remarks of tbe Ro

all times, but particularly in little
affairs like the late Cuban trouble ai d
the present Japanese difficulty. ? Ju
