It U high time that the lest engi neering skill to be had be employed by the City of Astoria, in the making and fixing of her future levels. That she has a future rife with good things In the way of expansion is admitted on all sides, and the building of the eity,1 hep internal improvements, her sightliness, public and private conven ience, and all the essentials that figure in the making of a "city beautiful' demand that the right levels and grades hall be determined and adhered to without regard to the individual hard hips that may arise. The feasibility of traffic, the public service, the general aspect, the safety, convenience and all around appropriateness of things ur gently sponsors the immediate and rad ical change of the prevalent low lev els obtaining by law. The charter com mission should act promptly and whole somely in this particular. Every man of them will live to be blessed for his fore-thought. There is no time like the present to provide for the future, especially when that future is close at hand, and loaded with potentialities. 0 A GAMBLING CASHIER. There is nothing in the business life ofthe country to be dreaded so much as the gambling cashier; the man who is charged with the money affairs of hundreds of people and the reputation of an institution that can live only o long as it shall be absolutely free from doubt and question. There is grave danger in the weakness of the one man to whom bo many trusts are confided and the outcome is invariably the same. Disaster and ruin are the inevitable attendants on such a course of life and it is all a mere matter of time. Every community should purge boards should in.tod. . .fi. .CO. .6. .. .6. . itself of this danger and the bank boards hould be the first to safe-guard the funds of which they are the trustees. And apropos of this, the evil is always conspicuous in good times such as these and it behooves the public to be watch ful an dthe trustee-institution to be more than that, to be rigorously and constantly alert. Cards and drink and cash are a combination to be feared, especially when the cash belongs to the confiding outsider, and he is una ware of its appropriation. o be corrected at the behest of those parent physically unable to cope, with recalcitrant children. Here is a theme that commeuua itself to tuo contmera tion of some of our budding statesmen, who are not likely to luck popular atten tion in the event they shall successfully j father the innovation, 0 THE NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. The Republicans of the State of Washington are evidently dyed in-the wool stand patters. They have renom inated their entire Congressional dele gation, as well as their Supreme court. and have made unequivocal declaration in favor of the retention of Mr. Rooe velt in the presidency. It appears to us there was little else for them to do, and they did the right thing in each instance.' They have avoided tremendous, volume of political pother, bare given ample and explicit reward to the men who have served faithfully and honorably, and retained the respect of the party from one end of the coun try to the other. Wisely and easily hare they disposed of their convention work, and they have before them the simple duty of proving their correct judgment by getting in and electing the whole outfit for the state in Kovem ber, and sending up a Roosevelt dele gation when the time comes. It is sira plicity itself to do a thing when you know what you want, as our "Ever green" neighbors have demonstrated with such unanimity and wisdom. i H poem for Cod ay THE COR N QUEEN By Minna Irving IA A FAIR STATEMENT. The lordly Columbia carries much responsibility. The commerce of the great northwest depends upon the Co lumbia's channels. Shoals and sand bars and other impedimenta to naviga tion in the Columbia's course are of interest more than local and of na tional importance. The old Columbia, before the United States government and the Port of Portland undertook her reformation would hardly know the new Columbia capable of floating 6,000 or 7-000 ton vessels safely to the sea. It seems sometimes to the Willam ette Valley that the Columbia is given too much attention perhaps to the neglect of the Willamette. But the Willamette Valley stands for an open river, in the fullest sense, which means an open Willamette and an open Columbia. The work at the Columbia's mouth should not cease until vessels as large as Portland's commerce invites may en ter and depart In safety. To this view, the mouth of the river is where the present effort should be most in evidence. The Celilo canal is well enough in theory, but it has yet to be shown that as a practical factor in shipping it has made good. The improvement of Oregon water ways, from the mouth to the source, the Intimate affair of every citizen of the state. That men high in au thority are at this time looking into the situation, that citizens who have studied the subject are expressing their conclusions, that the papers are exploit ing Columbia River improvements, Wil lamette River improvement and im provement of every Teally navigable river in Oregon, lends encouragement to the hopes of open river advocates.

A. BORCHERT, Prop. GREAT MANUFACTURING CENTER. SPANKING IN PUBLIC. We earnestly and respectfully com mend the method of the New York mo thcr who deliberately and soundly spanked her wayward daughter in the open streets of that metropolis, to some of the mothers of Astoria. It is one of the most practical demonstrations of the existence of the parental sway as it should be manipulated, that has come to our notice in years, and we believe its efficacy will be amply proven in the case of the Manhattan youngster re ferred to. The child is becoming the father of the man altogether too quick ly in this country and the sooner the reversion is had to old and genuine processes that were once so effective, the sooner will the fast tendencies of the precocious be abated and warped to safer and happier lines. In fact, it might not be amiss to urge the es tablishment of a public spankerv. in The census office bulletin which de scribes the growth of Chicago's man ufactures from 1900 to 1904, inclusive, would be more instructive if it had introduced comparisons with other ci ties. It shows, however, that the fit tings of our industries of which we hear so much in times of pessimism su perinduced by labor troubles, has not stopped growth. The number of print ing establishments increased from 970 to 1,154, the number of electrical es tablishments from 71 to 96, the num ber of furniture factories from 114 to 153. In all thee cases there was a large increase in the value of the pro duct, and that is true of the packing, iron and steel and foundry businesses which show little variation in the num ber of plants. Turning from these particulars to the totals, we have to note first that the statistics are not complete, since the in vestigation was confined to manufac turing establishments with an output valued at $500 or over. The increase of such establishments was from 7, 668 to 8.159; the official and clerical forces increased from 32,406 to 40,270, the wage-earner from 221,191 to 241, 984, and the value of the product from $797,829,141 to $957,880,217. INJUSTICES TO ACTRESSES By BEN TEAL. General 3t. Director lor Chart frohmaa IIIS applying the term "actress" to every person who ventures tentatively or experimentally on the stage- is about as appro priate or honest as it would be to call a news tout a journalist. A STENCIL WORKER AX ARTIST. The difference between the proper search for recognition and the indulgence of mere pleasure along Broadway is as great as between CORRESPONDENCE 'SOlJCITtD .11 i ,1 . .' 1 t 1 1 1 . , 1 1 mm I uvufcui ami uwyair, success nu iauure, ngni ana uarnness. 1 no stage U no more responsible for tho morals of its beauties than society is re- iponsible when a young woman of the so called smart set goes astray. There are just as many moral wreob in "society" AS ON T1IK STAGE, viewing both, of course, as institutions. The trouble is that too much importance is given to women who do not go on tho stajro to become actresses, but to use the stage as a cloak to cover the real lift they lead, the life that started by defying parental and all other disci pline, the life that will not admit discipline iu any shape or form. These are tho girls who flit from one stage manager to another, who never hold a position because THEY WILL NOT WORK. The real actress is fortunate if she has timo to secure her two 01 three meals a day, an occasional bath and six to seven hours' sleep. Ihe rest of the time she is rehearsing, studying, thinking. Without the combination of willingness, work and a fair amount of ability a human being should chooseomo other profession. Genius on tho stage, as elsewhere, is merely HARD WORK AND CONCEN TRATION combined with a fair amount of talent. Imagine, then, if you can, the feelings of the woman who, bavin served this taskmaster, the drama, with all her heart and soul, finds her tide, "actress," USURPED BY PRETENDERS whose right to bo on the stage is challenged by all connected with tho profession, whose comparative standing with women who work is as the obnoxious flea to the glorious song bird. The test for stage work has never been so severo as it is today. To secure the right sort of recognition the young woman must face more exacting demands than managers have ever made before. She cannot pose as a mere clothes rack or a stage "prop" to dress the scene. SCANDAL COMES FROM WITHOUT.

An inmate of the Home for Needy Confederate Women in Richmond, Va., is Captain Sally L. Tompkins, the only woman who received a commission from President Davis of the confederacy. She was, a captain of cavalry. Every time a Hotcntot woman remar ries she cuts off a finger joint. If that custom prevailed in this country there are a number of prominent women who would now be compelled to wear the wedding ring suspended by a ribbon from the neck. The "League 0f Little Hats" is a so ciety formed by" some of the dictators of high society among the oldest no bility of Paris, for suppressing the enormous theater hats against which there has been so much popular senti ment abroad. o Cotton seed oil when purified and re fined serves admirably as an olive oil substitute and our consul at Marseilles reports that all olive oil is adulterated with cotton seed oil and is better for it. It is dishonest and immoral to sell cotton seed oil as pure olive oil, but if it were possible to remove the pre judice against it as a food we would see our cotton seed crop worth more than $200,000,000 annually, and a nu tritive article added to the diet of the rich and poor. Copenhagen has taken to sandals, and grown men, otherwise respectably dressed, walk aWit the streets showing their toes. It requires more than or dinary courage to expose one's feet to the gaze of the world.
