From the dispatches published in (he Astorian it is evident that there will be no extra session of congress as was con templated at one time by Fresidsnt Eooscvelt. - A disposition has been shown in aome quarter to question the nlue of an ex tra session of congress if that session is not to be called until after the Novem ber elections It ha been said that lit- .He or nothing roll W pained by insist ing n a 'Hnivtairt riser" meeting of not mnr UAH three weeks. It is argued the feaiftfe is not worth the candle, especially If the members of the two branches find a way to vote themselves double mileage s allowance. But this view, though plausible, is based on serious misconceptions. It is not likely, in the first place, that con gress will authorize the payment of , double mileage. Technically an excellent case can be made out by those who hold that one session can not be merged into another and that mileage is collectable for each separate session, no matter how minute the interval which marks the sep aration. Two years ago only a "conser vative recess" intervened between the termination of the first and the begining of the second session of the 5th con gress. The house of representatives de cided bv a vote, however, that there had been an actual break, and that its ap propriations committee had followed pre' cident in reporting a second mileage ap propriation. Then the house unanimous ly waived its claim to compensation year later it revenged itself and voted to accent ""constructive mileage.' But the senate refused to sanction this pay luent, and the mileage grab paragraph perished in conference. With such a re- cord confronting and with the knowledge that popular sentiment is becoming more and more intolerant of deflections from scrupulous conduct in public life, the new congress will hardly venture to stand on technicalities and vote itself compen eation for travelling expenses incurred only in imagination. It is equally beside the point to argue that legislation will be in no way exped- iated by bringing the two houses togeth er three or four weeks ahead of the reg luar session date. As a matter of fact the gain made is more material than it aeems to be on "the surface. It is a commonplace in Washingtpn that each new congress which assembles on the first Monday in December wastes practically the first five weeks of the session. Be fore the committees can be announced the holiday season comes on, and little or no work is undertaken until near the middle of January. If congress meets in any other month than December there is no valid excuse for delaying organiza tion, and within two weeks the commit tees are named and the wheels of legis lation begin to turn. Instead of backing and filling and merely making time, the two branches fall to work, and the Christmas recess, when it does arrive, constitutes no serious interruption to business. The advantages of a little earlier start were Btrikingly demonstrated in the his tory of the last congress. That body met on November 9, llM3, and sat in ex traordinary session until December 5. 1!MJ3, when the regular session opened; but the impetus gained in those four ex tra weeks enabled those two houses ta bring the session to a close on April SJO, l!H)4. No necessary tasks were slighted. yet an adjournment was taken earlier than any other long session year since 1H18. The incoming congress mint wres tie with unusually dillicult and impor taut legislative problems. Jt needs tune and a free hand to do its work, and this work will be materially faciliatcd by ad opting the exiedient of a brief November session an expedient which has already proved its helpful quality. 0 ley's majority was 1:1.1-11 ami in r.HM Roosevelt s majority was I lies Norway is tired of boarding with figures show that both Multnomah and (Sweden and is going to housekeeping iCIatsop counties are strongly republican n its own account. 1 .1. . . 1!' 11 11 At-l anu 11 1 e repuoiicans nau voieu ineir 1 o party ticket in Portland Williams would it now looks as if a government of victory. The inherited habit of the dom ocracy claiming everything in sight has afforded them solace in the hours of trib illation an I defeat. The Atorin de sires to imprest upon the minds of the democratic editors of Oregon one unde niable fact, and that is, that no democrat can ne elected in the city of Portland, or the state of Oregon, without republi can vote. There are a large number of independent voter in the ranks of the republican party. There are no inde pendent voter in the ranks of the dem ocratic party. The democratic party will not tolerate independence in poli tic. A man must be either a democrat or nothing in their estimation. The reason why the democratic party keep up its organisation in Oregon is that they occassionally fall in for a seat at the po litical crib through republican dissatisfaction. As a rule, a voter votes his party prin ciple at a presidential election. There are no local issues; no political debts to be paid; no factional tights. If the re publicans of Clatsop county voted theil party ticket at county elections, the same as they do at the presidential elec tions, jt would be impossible for a denv oewt to be elected to office.

If it i arriod, which seem certain, especially iu the east end, the success of local op tion can be attributed to two thing. The non-enforcement by the police and the violation of the ordinance by the saloon men. No respectable aa loon will tolerate a minor or allow him to lie in his place of business, and the result will lie, that the lower grade of saloon w ill lie close! up, and it i only a matter of a very short time when the result in Iniontown will obtain in othei sections of the city. Die Astorian has no fight to make. against saloon. They coma in the "cat agory of necessary evils," but when they overstep the bounds of decency and haw no respect for the laws, they must be closed for the protection of the young boy of Astoria. The home and fami lies of Astoria must be protected, and while this duty devolve upon the police force, it may be necessary in the near future to call in the sheriff to perform the duties incumlient upon the police.

Whose fault is it ? When men are elected to important positions in the city and coun ty who do not either understand the ap plication of business principles to the ad ministration of city business, or do not conduct the business of the city with the care they do their own, extravagance is the inevitable result. Experience has demonstrated that nothing ha been gain ed by the election of democrats to oiIi but it has deterred many business men who should lie at the head of affairs in both the city and county government, to run for office, simply because they can not depend upon the vote of the mem bers of their partv. Of course, the dem ocratic contingent claim that the bu iness affairs of the city and county are and have been economically administer ed, but this is simply to keep them in power, the facts do not bear out the as sertion.
