ASTORIA'S FUTURE GRADES.
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.

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

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.

parent physically unable to cope, with
recalcitrant children. Here is a theme
that commeuua itself to tuo contmera

who are not likely to luck popular atten

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.

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. Al

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.

indulgence of mere pleasure along Broadway is as great as between CORRESPONDENCE 'SOlJCITtD

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.

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

and tortured and distorted the feet of
the present generation, that today the
foot of the average man, and partic
ularly that of the average woman, is
the least beautiful of all God's works,
