TO IVEKTBODT OH EARTH.
On this, the first day of the year 1906,
tha Morning Aatorian herehr expreeea,
and duvets, it good will, and cheerful
wishe to everybody on earth; to it
frienda and enemies, it patron and
noa -patrons, it reader and non-reader,
it business nssociste and those uncon
nected with it in any way; it political
upporter and the opposition, far and
near; to each man, woman and child to
whom thes line shall com at home
and abroad, for a bright, successful.
happy and prosperous Xew Year.

The f't that Frank Steunenherg wa

THK PRESTIGE OF INITIATIVE.
The man, or the coiuiuunity, that in
itiate (omething of ralue to himself,
or it, command instant and genuine
respect; and this whether it i a nufr
ceo or not. People who move and plan
and strive are the one that are looked
up to. Astoria is far better known to
day for tbe one line railway system
that she inaugurated than for anything
elite, unless it be for the hMieriea and
mill she haa founded and maintained.
Onee she begina a campaign for some
thing remarkable and profitable, that
moment the world takes a new interest
in her and watt-he her progrea, and
frequently take a hand itaelf in her
destinies. So long as she sits still and
doe nothing for herself or her future.
just so long will the commercial actiyl
ties let her alone (save, where they ran
see a chance to exploit her for their
own peculiar advantage). Take a grip
on the lever of prosperity, fire up with
the fuel of local endorsement, nd go
ahead with your progressiva program,
and the world will declare you an engi
neer, anyway!
UNCLE RUSSELL'S SMILE.
ASTORIA'S ALRIGHT.
Aj a sea port on long and danger
ous winter coast, the percentage of loss
and accident inside, and outside, her
bar, make Astoria one of tbe safest
place in the world for tbe mariner,
There i reason for thi. Her pilot,
master, sailors and dockmen are among
tha best trained and hardiest on the
eoaat; careful, shrewd, intelligent, ob
serving, practiced and practising, men,
with a pride in their business and a
realizing en of their responsibilities.
There b nothing invdlou in this. Other
ports may have just the same advant
age, only Astoria seem to use her'
with closer application and more pro
nounced success.
THANES BEI
Thanks be given to whatever source
or ajrencr i responsible for it, that
there is no politics in public enterprise.
Astoria can go ahead with her own
public-spirited plan and purposes
upon the larger and full -r basis of com
posite action snd fear no olmtacle from
the dominant party or tha party not
quite so dominant. The common good
of Astoria is the spell that lay the
devil of party trife, and the whole
community can rejoice in the Immunity.
If ahe wants to build a seawall, some
new aiill. a railroad to Tillamook, or
any other little thing she think will
do ber good, she can go ahead with it
minus any trepidation trnm thi old
bugbear of partian intcrfercnee. And
these are ome of tlx- things she in
tends to do, toot
TBE IDAHO OUTRAGE.
The murder of ex-tJovcrnor Steuw-n-berg,
of Idaho, ft the door of hi home
on Saturday evening last, by mean of
a bomb deli!erately put there in pre
concerted shape to do it deadly work
as b opened tlie gate, is on a par with
anything of the sort that the American
pre has had to herald from the Old
World during tha past two yesrs.
W applaud tbe prompt action of
r,oTernor Gooding in putting the State
oa record in the matter of reprisal a
lie baa, and trust tha murderer and all
The wit of the pre will crack many
joke at the rxpvnse of Russell Sage
for reappearing in Wall street with mil
lion to lend when interest rate are
msiiull h"ni. " Xnfffthil in t --
good thing that there are men around
like Russell Sage with money to lend
and the nerve to lend it during the
financial pinch. Men who put out loan
instead of drawing them in during
financial stringency are the men who
avert panics. It i characteristic of
Russell Sage that he always made his
heaviest loana when nobody else wanted
to lend. He i reported to have loaned
(30,000,000 in the 3 hours at a time when
interest on call loans was bounding up
to panic figure. Poubtle he exacted
good security and heavy interest rate,
but nevertheless he ea d off tlie money
market. Ho relieved the pressure on
the hank and asited in tiding over a
serious tring-ncy. By lending his
money at this time he ha rendered
the whole country a service and stiffen
ed the backbone of a weak money mar
ket. It is only fair to say thi, and not i
look entirely at the selfish side of the
old financier' operation.
