Notary *ubdlic tm and for State of Washington, mallee at Seattle We Want a Square Deal In recent years a president’ pinet changes about every other Rew moon. No president any more ever gets tn a term without a few resignations in his cabinet, or shifts of some kind. Rumors of such, ig proepect, are afloat now and in all probability some of them are Rot without foundation, This growing habit of our cabinet officera behooves our chief ex- ecutives to appoint mon who can at least neglect their private af- fairs long enough to learn what street their respective departments are on, where the elevators are, and to get acquainted with the head clerks, A few of our secretaries hardly remain tn office long enough to know where to hang their hats, to say nothing of the intricacies of their respective departments upon which rest the dignity and power of @ great nation, On looking over future applicants, the president should say! “Mr. Jones, what ts your expe e? Married or single? Your wife able to run the society end an leave wou free to attend to bual- orien: nees, I suppose?” All these answered satisfactorily, they should be followed up with: “How's your liver?” And, the answer to this having pleased the President, he should ask: “Can you stay with this job, not simply until you get a handle to your name and Into high soctety with the @enators, foreign ministers and Admiral Dewey, but until you have mastered the situation and have done something for your country? “AN satisfactory, Be ready for duty Monday morning, with your fighting clothes on, And If you can do the job as well or better than anyone else, you're the man. And after while you'll go up higher and have a wider roller top desk and only eight hours a day. “While, on the other hand, if you don't do anything but make Bpecches for your party, eat terrapin, drink champagne and shine tn Rurope and other water places, don’t expect any pay Saturday nights. We want to give Uncle Sam a square deal. Good day, sir!” The Boss and the Bug The society bug is a humorous microbe. George B. Cox, boss and owner, double cinched, of Cincinnatt, ©, is said to be walking the floor like a caged lion these days. And why? ‘The society buy got into his system and coarsely. He sought and received an introduction to the daughter of the President as a means of securing an admission ticket to that charm- @4 circle where the people discuss the happenings at Newport in- @tead of the opening of Casey's saloon; where there are footmen and finger bowls; where champagne is consumed as a matter of foutine and an appetite for beer and pickled pigs feet ts a thing to be curbed and forgotten. All of this George B. Cox yearned for as a pup yearns for milk. It would round out his career. AND THE PEOPLE LAUGHED. There is a weak spot in the armor of each haman being. In @ political boss it seems to deal with social ambition. Croker laughed when he was denounced as a grafter. He gave @mall heed to the ery of “thief” that was hurled at bim. But when he tried to enter society and a New York paper sneered at him he showed his fangs, and the hate that was born in his heart will live while he lives. And so it is with George B. Cox, as great a boss as ever headed ‘Tammany, who is willing to scrape and bow and cringe for that bauble marked social prestige and for which nature and training and @avironment have totally unfitted him. The society microbe ts certainly a funny bug. A Family Quarrel For some reason family quarrels are the bitterest of all quarrels, For instance: Norwegian, Swede, Dane—these three—are, and of right ought to be, one great family. They have a common bistoric past. They have shared sacrifices and glory. They speak kindred tongues. Why should they quarrel to the polit of separation? Did not the commonwealth or the fear of monno danger bind them? Or the possibilities of o great Ceandinavian union? It ap- pears not. On the contrary— The genius for amalgamation seems lacking. any disposition to fight for union. And so the Norwegian flag is hoisted and saluted with 21 guns. Secession from Sweden Is accomplished. Norway is an independent Ration. The family quarrel is an ancient one, caused by tncompatability of temper. The dual monarchy was born of the Napoleonic era but the peo- ples never became cemented. The Norse has been asking for a sep- arate consular and diplomatic service, That was only an excuse for the family fighting. Neither member of the household would give in, Bickering and backbiting led to open divorcement. It is a pity. There will come a day when separation will be regretted. Sweden has lost Finland. Denmark is reduced to a few islands. And Nor- way will be at the mercy of Russia. History will write of Scandinavia that, unlike the United States, it stopped at Federalism and failed. It neglected to “form a more perfect union.” It waa a house divided against itself. the people laughed Least of all is there If you want to see itexemplitied—if you br - see upwards students— average Reosperity ; z students—at thelr work-—preparing for the battle of lite— You should go right Wisox down to the Collins MODERN BUSI! \) X\ 2 Bidg., James and j asoe Second, top floor, and visit the day or even- ing classes of +| fore seem out of place. ee 3M ~ Ye * 9d RARER KR RH i BY BOMUND VANC® @ooKm I am not up on artists’ gush I can't “improve the rose’s flush,” Nor yet “scaint the woodland thrush That one may hear it sing;" But let me own, without a biwsh, 1 swing @ verp pretty brush On window screens in spring, I own I've no desire to moet A foreign foe in field or fleet; I'm free to say I might retreat, vero left on guard ¥ & man might find dofeat, If matched against me, at | beat The rugs in our back yard I seldom seek a gemssy mound.

Other nations have the kindliest feelings for both parties to the con troversy. King Oscar, of Sweden, while he lacks the gentua that might have welded the two countries ta- wether, ie regnrded as one of the most upright and gracious of all Huropean sovereigns, And Nor- way, whose independent apirit has led her to the potnt of separation, has the good wishes of all peoples, ‘This being the status, it is not Itkely there will be a very prompt recognition of Norway's independ- ence.

Polkinghorse murmured, “Certainly, my lord.” “Are you satisfied?" I ed cold- ly of the marquis. Ho was shaking like an aspen, but We muttered an assent. I pushed him at once to the table, and giving him ink and paper, bade him write to my dictation. In a calm, clear voice 1 straightway proceeded to set forth the reasons of and for the assassination of my brother, and the arrangement and horrid manner of the crime down to its last detail. The others lis- tened spellbound, staring at me in incredulous amaze, all save the marquis who, with bent head, scratched at the paper,, never once glancing up; he was a broken man, and I make no doubt in the very extremity of humiliation and shame.
