STANDS FOR THE PEOPLE.
A chamber of commerce is a quasi-
public institution and the greater vol
umne of its influence ia for the people.
It is essentially a popular medium for
expression and operation of municipal
sentiment and action on questions af
fecting the people as a whole. The
facilities for private and personal ex
ploitation are at a minimum in its
councils, and if exercised at all, are so
done at peril of the commercial pres
tige of the persons attempting the same;
therefore it may be trusted with the
largest and most comprehensive of in
terests with almost perfect safety
Astoria has a body of this sort that is
thoroughly well equipped with business
brains and the right commercial spirit
and if it is not doing all the people
think it should, it is because the peo
pie themselves are not devoting the
time and attention to it they might.
Tt ; their fault, first and last. The
merest hint of a. good thing is all
11 chamber of commerce wants. It is
qualified to handle the details, both pre
liminary and eulminative, and the citi-
ten with a bright and wholesome idea
that) mean anything to his city is
gravely at fault if he does not present
it promptly at the chamber and de
nand its consideration. , Commercial
bodies are amenable to the limitation
that besets all organic concerns; they
may not exceed their powers, either of
initiative or finality, and they take
their orders from the people they stand
-for. This brings the whole situation
squarely -up to the citizens and if they do
not help their chamber of commerce that
body is, to the extent of their neglect,
impotent to help the community.

RESPONSIBILITY IS SHIFTED.
If a scoundrel or a nincompoop is
elected in June, to any office, by any
section, or faction, the tle-ed public
will have to Btand the onus of having
put up the imposition. The politician,
while shorn of a big measure of his
prestige, will have abundant cause to
thank the Direct Primaries for taking
the brunt of blunders and responsibility
from his devoted .shoulders. The real
' value of the primary law has yet to
reveal itself, and many are looking,
confidently, for a demonstration of its
virtues and success and its euabliKh-
ment as a permanent feature of the
political enginery of thel State, and
are hopine for it. And we are inclined
. to believe the hope is justified by the
" relief it already affords, in its incom
olete and vague form, and that a wise
revision and pruning of the cumbersome
elements that now beset it, will make
oil its authors intended it, an honest,
popular medium for the enunciation of
the wishes and purposes 01 ine con
stituencies, and in the end, the one all
mhrnoin? court of appeal for the ad
'nsfment of every political difference,
doubt, hope, aspiration and contest that
may arise for arhitratmeut, with the
reiiMliUty fur the judgment ren
wed, lying where it belong. Tha in
dividual way ahuitt liia liability; the
publio ha no such advantage. It ia,
and ever will bo, wholly, and irrevo
vutily, answerable for every blunder it
may imiVe, politically, and otherwise.
