HITCHCOCK MAY RETIRE.
In Washington there Is a revival of
the gosttlp to the effect that Post
master General Hitchcock will be the
first member of the cabinet to retire.
Whether this story has any founda
tion or not cannot be learned. It is
known that Mr. Hitchcock is unpopu
lar with most of his cabinet associates
although openly they all accord him
the tuctft courteous treatment.
Secretary Knox, the premier of the
cabinet, is pehups Hitchcock's most
powerful enemy. Secretary Knox has
no use for the postmaster general; he
does not believe him to be a mau of
cabinet size; he does not regard his
political judgement as souud. and he
does not relish seeing the President
take Hitchcock's advice on questions
of party policy.
Whether the President will allow
this undercurrent to disnipt his cabi
net, or whether he will yield to the
pressure aud quie<ly Invite Mr. Hitch
cock to resign, is a question the fu
ture must decide. But it is very cer
tain that the retirement of Hitchcock
would please most of the members of
the cabinet. Whether their hostility
grows out of jealousy, because of the
President's past intimacy with Hitch
cock, or for some other cause, is
purely a matter of speculation, but it
Is a fact that several of the other
members of his cabinet refer to Hitch
cock as "the kid," and seem to regaid
him lightly on account of his compar
ative youthfulness. ? Portland Tele

BARBARISM EXPENSIVE.
Switzerland spends two dollars for
education for each dollar it speuds fcC
military establishment. The next most
creditable showing during European
powers Is made by Belgium which
spends just twice as much for mili
tary establishment as for education.
Germany is next in line with three
dollars for military establishment to
every dollar for educational use. Rus
sia and Austria follow with four and
u half dollars for military to one for
Bchools. In France the proportion is
five to one and in Italy nine dollars
are spent on armament to one on ed
ucation. A stiff price to pay for na
tional existence and dignity in this
the twentieth century. ? Pasadena
News.
Collier's Weekly asserts that the
famous letter in which president
Taft "white washed" Secretary Ballln
ger was not written by Taft at all.
but presumably dictated by Ballinger,
himself.

OPEN THE DOOR.
OPEN th? door of your heart, my lad.
To tin angel of love and truth
When the world In full of unnumbered
Joy*

Casting aside all things that mar.
Saying to wrong. "Depart!"
To the voices of hope that are calling you
Open the door of your heart.
/"VPEN the door of your heart, my la?s,
v To the things that shall abide.
To the holy thoughts that lift your soul
LJke the stars at ev?ntlde.
All the fadeless Mowers that bloom
In th? realms of song and art
Are yours If you'll only give them room.
Open the door of your heart.
OPEN the door of your heart, my friend.
Heedless of class and creed.
When you hear the cry of a brother's
voice.
The sob of a soul In need.
To the singing heavens that o'er you bend
You need no map nor chart.
But only the love of the Master.
Open the door of your heart

and applaud him. One of (he most
alluring parts of the Hudson-Fulton
celebration advertisements was the
promise that the city and lis visitors
should have that long desired oppor
tunity during the celebration.
And they had It. Wilbur Wright,
the famous aviator, rose Into the air,
circled Governors Island and settled
down on the little piece of ground he
had left only a few minutes before.
That was an Impressive accomplish
ment for New York spectators, but
only Governors Island saw that. Staten |
Island and New Jersey. Brooklyn, Man- j
hattan? these all had watchers out on |
the water fronts looking for the air
craft. For them Wilbur Wright was i
to show himself and his silvered ma- >
chine.
Preseutly their turn came. Just as
If it were nothing out of the ordinary,
Mr. Wright started the engine of his
aeroplane, the propeller blades whir

Then back to Governors islnud,
baek to the little spot from which he
had risen, whereupon Mr. Wright got
out just as calmly as he had got In,
put his hands in his pockets and
looked just a trifle pleased. The spec

IP there's no sun 1 still can have the j
moon;
If there's no moon the stars my needs
suffice.
And If they fall I have my evening lamp,
Or. lampless. there's my trusty tallow dip,
And It the dip goes out my couch re

Where 1 may sleep and dream there's
light again.

To know that 'est Is nowise bliss
And darkness Is the end thereof!

H. R. McCarver, 268 Holllday St.,
Portland, Ore., says;
"Some years ago Doan's Kidney
Pills proved of great benefit to mo
and 1 publicly recommend them.
Since that time I have advised many
of my fellow workmen to give them
a trial and the results of their use
have beeu satisfactory In every inst
ance. 1 believe klduey troublo and
backache in my c*ae was brought on
by a cold. I had always been skeptic
al regarding proprietary medicines
L'u* somehow what I read about
Doan's Kidney Pills Impressed me so
much that I began their use. Relief
soon followed and I have had no ser
ious return of kidney complaint
since."
