The strike of the coast sailors is on unjust, and therefore, wholly unpopular measure, and we believe it is going to fail utterly simply because it should As a class of workers, the seamen in the Pacific Coast service, at $45.00 per month and overtime, are among the best paid of all the tradesmen out here, the average of their earnings being, overtime , included. $100 per month, with housing and board, to boot, which means $130 to $140 per month, a wage very few brain workers and skilled office men are get ting for work immensely more valuable. And the fact that the cooks and waiters of the coasting fleets are standing pat for the raise of $5.00, is another dubious and irreconcilable fact that operates against the sailors and their claim. These men are not able to render any more nor any better service if their wages should be increased as they demand, and they could not, if they would, give anything in return for the extra money. The strike is untimely and ties up the labor of thousands of men entirely innocent of ary injustice to the seamen and wholly beyond the area of their field of work, except by indirection, and it is tying up industries that stand for millions of active capital and fro mwhich they draw the very income of their own lives. They are not overworked, nor underfed, nor illy housed; they have nothing, exc;pt greed, to plead in this venture, and the people are getting thoroughly next to the situation and the better they under stand, the leis sympathy and good-will they have for the strikers. It is a case where the employment of any kind of substitute labor is absolutely justified, Japanese, Chinese, or Malay, and the shipping firms are in it "with the bit in their teeth," and the general sympathy of the coast people. ROOSEVELT'S DECLINA TION. There is one grave possibility con fronting the republican of this country, namely, the absolute refusal of Theo dore Roosevelt to actvpt the nomination for the presidency again. The gravity of the situation would be the straits to which the party would be put to supply the vacancy: for never in the history of 1 the republican party has such a eondi- I ltion of real dearth of material that any way approxiinat.-s the strength jand popularity of this man existed. He has been so unique and so compelling a factor in the current history of the nation; so large, so resourceful, so suc cessful a leader and doer of things; so clean and manly and honest in the jdo'ng of his work, that most men. who might be named as his successor, would lose cate in the contrast that would be invoked. And he will be sorely needed, for the lesser man's election will be the signal for the renewed encroachments of the legion of enemies of the common people, in the hope of undoing the vital thinsrs he has wrought. And it may as well te said, in passing, that the defeat of the republican party, at this juncture of it immense and recent successes, means a defeat of inevitably long dura tion and a corresponding opportunity for the up-lift of the opposition and for its rehabilitation and popularity. Every influence available must be brought to bear to gain Mr. Roosevelt's consent to take the ollice again. 0 PLUCKY ASTORIA. If Astoria, by push, and prayer, and other potentailities, is not to succeed in getting anything done for the temporary deepening of the Columbia river bar, so be it! She has enough to attend to beside. She can fix up her charter; build that new hotel; lay her plans for ac complishing the seawall; renew her streets; put up the new opera house; help in the construction of the interur ban to Seaside; pull off the best regatta on record; and do other pending and proper things, that will equip her all the more, for demanding, and getting, those that must be had from the out-ide. She is independent, in a lareg sense, and spunky, as well; two qualifications that mean success always. 0 TALE IS DANGEROUS. The Great Power Of the President By JOHN C SPOONER. Senior Senator from Wlsconiln HE president ia so supremo under the constitution in tho nin ter of treaties, EXCLUDING ONLY THE SENATE'S RATIFICATION, that he way negotiate a treaty, ho ninv send it to tho senate, it may receive by way of "advico and consent the unanimous judgment of the senate that it is in the higheut degree for the public interest, and yet the president is as freo when it is sent back to the White House with resolution of ratification attached to put it in his desk NEVER AGAIN TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY as ho was free to determino in the first instanco whether he would or would not negotiate it a a k That power is not expressly given to the president by the constita toon, but it inheres in tho executive power conferred upon him to con duct our foreign relations, and it is a power which inheres in him as thft SOLE ORGAN under the constitution through whom our foreign re lations and diplomatic intercourse are conducted. Out of public neces 6ity the president should be permitted to pocket a treaty, no matter if every member of the senate thought he ought to exchange tho ratified tion. Why I Because as the president, through the ambassadors, min isters, consuls and all of the agencies of the government, exploring sources of information everywhere, it is HIS BUSINESS TO KNOW whether anything has occurred since the senato acted upon the treaty which would render it for the public interest that the ratifi cations be not exchanged. inn tip ia . ..... mnu nc ia tmfowtHEB TO WITHHOLD EXCHANGE OF RATIFICATIONS, IF UPON LATER KNOWLEDGE HE DEEMS IT FOR THE PUBLIC INTEREST 80 TO DO. A statehood bill should be passed with he not unreasonable proviso for a refer- ndum vote. At one period in this coun try's history the consent of the governed was considered an absolute essential. The fellow who is content to be just n average man may be glad to know that the average American income is $ft)0 a year. How much larger the aver- e outgo is we cannot sav. It is said that John D. Rockefeller's motto in life i "never give in." From the way some newspaper writers descrile im the motto would seem to be "never give up." 0 Persevering.

That day is barren indeed that does not furnish a Russian crisis. Now there is a real one at hand, and the emperor, and his court, are actually frightened, because their sole reliance heretofore, the army, is being rapidly disintegrated by parliamentary influence, and cannot be relied on another hour. This is the meat in the Russian cocoanut. The safety of all things imperial and dynas tic are mere bubbles for the bursting minus the terrific and unquestioning power of "the army." Well, there is no very wide sympathy for the Romanoffs anywhere in the world, just now; not near so much as there will be after they have been butted out their empty. digni ties and despoiled of their revenues wrought from the blood and killing toll of the millions that ore frantic for emancipation. It Im tha old, old story, only tho fnormoui scope of the country involved lend it empliaU, and makes the issues of liberty the ifnuidur the world over, "The Klnjf U l)Bil Im J.lv the Kliigl" Did you ever notice that ' talk" doesn't hurt a man much! Perfection isn't looked for in a man, and when some one tries to injure a man by ranting about a few faults he has, the absent one, who is probably attending to his own affairs, is elevated in the hearer's estimation, while the informant is low ered accordingly. If a man knocks along, doing fairly well, people realize that while he has some faults, he has more virtues and they are charitable enough to overlook these faults. But it is different with a girl or woman. No matter how good and pure a woman may be, let someone start an infamous lie about her and everyone is willing to pass it along, and there is always some one to believe it. That lie can never be lived down. It may burn low but the gossip-loving are ready with new fuel. Did you ever think how damnably mean some goody-good people are in this respect! 0 THE EARTH A BABY. ''Mother Earth" is a misnomer. Dr. Thomas C. Chamberlin, head of the de partment of geology at the University of Chicago, expresses the view that the earth is still in its infancy. The earth will endure 100,000,000 years more, the professor told the members of the geo graphic society at the Municipal Museum in Chicago. "We cannot look with in difference on the future," he said. "The human race really has just come into possession of the earth. The fact that the rocks and the animals have had their eras of prosperity is the basis for ray belief that we shall have millions of years to work out our ideals of intellec tuality. I believe the world will be in habited for millions of years." 0 000000000000000000 O EDITORAL SALAD. 0 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Three Russian anarchists have been kept out of the country by especial order of the President, Why should a Russian anarchist wunt to come to this country ot this time? There certainly was never a more piomiing field tiian Russia itself. Among Thieves. "My boy always brings something home. Yesterday he stole a gold watch, and today he has brought the guaran tee for it." Figaro. The Better Sort. "Here's a cigar which I reserved spec ially for you." "Well, do you know, I would rather have one which you had specially re served for yourself." Witzblatt. Practical Parents. "Why have you called the youngster Lorenzi' Our of respect to the memory of his late grandfather?" "Respect! No, but we have just got 0 hundred visiting cards with that name which he can use later." Witzblatt. The Bad Waltzer. "May I put my name down. Miss Klla, for the third quadrille!" ''Certainly, with pleasure. I shall be home by that time." Witzblatt. LAKE PLACID, X.

Mer rill, a promim-nt woman idiv'irinn of Chicago, was found yesterday by Charles Matrin, a local guide, on the summit of Mount Whitcface. where she had pafd the night. In company with Miss J. L. Warner of Boston, with whom she is trumping through the Adirondacks, Dr. Merrill Wednesday left Lake Ride Inn in this village, planning to climb the mountain go down the other side and reach the village of Wilmington before night fa'l Uicre the trail divides in tw parts half way up the mountain the wim-ii became confused, one taking one and one the other branch.
