Xo seliool can flourish where the discipline of
that school has to meet the insistant criticism and
carping strictures of the home. Only one system
of regulation may prevail in the handling of the
young, and when the children are committed to the
custody of trained teachers and made amenable to
prescribed discipline, the best and simplest duty
of the parent is to conform to the regimen in force
and keep hands off. To do otherwise is to assist
in the disruption of the school, rendering nugatory
the work and interest of the teacher, and spoiling
the child for the sterner obligations of life, by
weakening its respect for all manner of restrictive
pressure that must confront it at nearly every
step in its career. If the government of the school
does not exceed the limitations of rational con
trol, the parent, in arraying himself against it,
works a deeper injury to the child than he wots
of, and has but himself to thank for the later re
prisals that society will inflict upon one who dis
dains its ordinances and invites its censure. The
schools of Astoria are ably and conscientiously
managed, and do not deserve adverse criticism at
any man's hands.

ASTORIA, FIRST, AND LAST
There are several people in this city who are of
the opinion that the Astorian is wasting time in
fighting the adverse and dominating spirit of Port
land and its press toward this city. All we have to
say in reply is that the Astorian is just what its
name signifies, and that it is wholly committed to
the policy of standing up for Astoria's rights by
whomsoever they are assailed or invaded. It is a
poor paper, and a poor citizen, that crawls and
propitiates and temporizes when its home city is
unfairly atacked, be the assaulting force what it
may. "We confess the scrap seems hopeless, but it
has been made hopeless more by reason of the pas
sivity of people who cling to the idea that Portland
must be placated for the possible good she might
do us, if the notion took her. Well ! That may do
for some, but the community that does not respect
itself enough to make resistive overtures in a case
like this, is liable to get all that Portland has been
giving us, and a little more, to boot

CLATSOP ORCHARDS
It is to be hoped the 16th of March will witness
the gathering of all the men and women who own
and control the orchards of the county. The Hor
ticultural meeting called for Friday last was, in
point of attendance, a failure, but still it contained
the germ of efficacy and if it did nothing else than
to provide for the ensuing assemblage of the fruit
growers, it did, perhaps, a far greater work than
may be understood at the present moment. It is a
splendid move and has the virile essence of promise
in that there is such an abundance of room for the
best of work in rehabilitating the famous old or
chards of Clatsop and bringing the new ones to
the same pass. Good luck to it!

A NEW RIFLE
Uncle Sam is preparing to put into the hands of
his "boys" a new rifie. The new gun is called the
"Xew Springfield Model of V.m." The magazine
is on the Mauser model but has a cut off which
enables it to be used as a single loader as well as a
repeater, so that in desultory firing the full maga
zine charge can be kept in reserve to be used if
necessary. The gun has a "stump" appearance,
the barrel being only twenty-four inches long but
the propelling power is immense, the powder pres
sure being 49,000 pounds to the square inch, the
muzzle velocity of the bullet being 2300 feet a
second, a velocity of 300 feet more than the Krag
Jorgenson in present use and the bullet will pene
trate 6.30 inches of white pine at 1500 yards, a
distance something over .45 of a mile, and about
as far as a thing can be seen plain enough to be
shot at. The gun is farther equipped with a 1 fl
inch sword bayonet, an efficient weapon when
wielded by hand and a terrible one when in posi
iion on the gun.
FIRST LOCOMOTIVE STEAM WlllSTLE-
Looomotives seventy-five years ago had no whistles
The engineer kept by his side a tiu horn, which he
blew Itoforv ourvus and dangerous crossings. Hut
the noise wan ftvble.
In ISM nn Knglish fanner's cart was run down
on the way to market and one thousand oggs, one
hundred pounds of butter, two horses and a man
wore lumped in one groat omelet on the rails. The
railway had to pay the damages. The president sent
for (!eorge Stevenson and said angrily:
"Our engineers can't blow their horns loud enough
to clear the track ahead. You have made your
steam do so much, why don't you make it blow a
good loud horn for us."
Stevenson pondered. An idea came to him. lie
visited a musical intrument maker and had con
structed a horn that gave a horrible screech when
blown by steam. From this hum the hn'omotive
whistle of today descended.

Another interesting field for wireless telegraphy
is opened up by the successful private line experi
ments in Manhattan. Dr Iee !"' Forest, of wire
less fame and wifeless condition, succeeded in mak
ing himself clearly understood and secured favor
able response from Miss Lucile Sheardown, blocks
distant. Since Saturday they can be reached only
by Atlantic wireless.

Tat Crow's explanation of his acquittal is that
the Beef Trust is unpopular. It is not safe to as
sume, however, that all juries will figure the sum of
one person who ought to be in jail plus another
person who ought to be iu jail equals two persons
out of jail.

If a pun is permissible the alumni of Hamilton
College, of Clinton, this state, who are domiciled
at the National Capital, are Hooting for the Secre
tary of State for 1908, as Presidential candidate.
And there are others.

Considering the pother over the administration
of John P. Haines as president of the S. P. C. A.
it Is suggested that these initials mean Society of
People Considerably Aggrieved.
o
It must be a kind of Russian bull, to order that
the first man who gets near the North Pole must
find a Russian there ahead of him to prevent his
raising the flag.

It Is believed that Congressman Longworth may
reasonably hope some day to become speaker of the
house. Well that depends. Is it the house, or the

So the syndicate kept Colonel Mann "keyed
up" with complimentary stock. Too bad they
didn't turn the key.

The reactionaries who are plotting to prevent
a Russian Congress might save trouble by simply
tacking on a Senate to kill all the bills.

As to a tariff war, Germany not only expresses
willingness to come down without shooting, but
protests it ain't got no gun.

A bridegrom is still necessary in a modern wed

large holders of eggs in cold storage.

Commissioner Garfield can report progress with
the beef problem. The trust has begun to dislike
him.

Between the ages of 6 and 1-0 all Japanese chil
dren are taught the Japanese and Chinese lan
guages. For the next four years they are required
to study English. What are those remarkable Japs
up to, anyway?

Mr. Longworth has formally said good-bye to his
bachelor friends. Does Jacob Riis, as a faithful
social scientist, approve of making wedlock such an
awfully serious piece of business, a sort of general
earthquake, in a man's life?

A missouri Democratic paper remarks that "The
Panama Canal venture, born in sin, if not con
ceived in iniquity, is very properly giving its pro
jectors a lot of trouble." How would that do for
the long-sought party issue?

A Louisiana crop commission has decided that
the boil weevil can be exterminated in that State.
It would be humiliating indeed if the human race
should knock under to any insect pest. But the
job will be easier if bird life in properly protected.

Now that the New York official chemists have
found apple juice, wool alcohol and aniline dyes
combined into a communion wine, it would seem
that adulteration had reached the limits of toleration.
