There Is a good deal of real anxiety among a certain class of Astorlans as to the effect upon the marine pres tige of the Columbia bar and the bay and port of Astoria, by reason of the two total wrecks recorded here within the past thirty days. There Is no cause for worry over the matter. The wrecks of the Iredale and the Galena were not attribtable to any lack of facilities for the protection of ships; the coast all about here fairly bristles with fixed and brilliant lights, including a splendid lightship; . there are two powerful sea tugs on the bar, or near It, constantly; the pilot schooner Is o ffthe bar ninety-five one-hundredths of the year; the sea channels to and from the bar are well known and clearly charted and, while we are about It, we might say, that Clatsop beach, from Point Adams to Tillamook Head, Is an ideal spot for ships to come ashore, Judging by the consumate ease with which the last two wrecks reached it AH a skipper has to do, apparently, is to casually drop his vessel In to the south of the Jetty on a foggy morning, wait for high water, slip ashore without shak lng down a single block or spar, stand by his ship until low tide, climb over the side and walk ashore. There are two sides to this matter of piling ships upon Clatsop sands, and the red- tape of official accounting for the a.1 leged disasters will become disarrang ed some of these days so that a per son with half an eye will be able to detect the actual facts behind it all. It Is a simple matter to fling blame right and left, but the "dickens of it Is," that it will rebound to the dis comfiture of those who so cavalierly do the flinging. The percentage of loss In the neighborhood of the Co lumbla bar is far too meagre to sup port the theory of its being a standard marine grave-yard. While the losses are to be, and really are, deplored by everyone in toijch with the situation, they were so manifestly the outcome of causes remote and apart from any delinquencies chargeable to the port, as to arouse resentment against the wilful assertion that anything had left undone by government, or local authorities, that might have spared the ships. ABE RUEF'S BLUNDERS. The great Jew boss of San Francisco Abe Ruef, has committed two extra ordinary blunders that reveal the actual paucity of dependable ground that exists beneath his tottering feet In the first place, he sought to have himself appointed to the district at torneyshlp, a blunder that was so pal pably raw that the reading world guffawed audibly at the absurdity and transparency of It; secondly, he pre fers charges against Ileney, the nun who Is pressing him to the hour and sum of his retribution, of accepting a huge bribe for the work he Is do ing In behalf of San Francisco and her despoiled people. In that he Is to be the recipient of the $100,000 raised by these same people to assist In the righteous program he has cut out for Ruef and his cohorts. The money has been contributed, but It has not even been tendered to Mr. Heney, and If It had. it Is net within the scope of rea-1 son mat he wowa r.ltve accepted A dollar Of It. So, otice mor Ruef has shown how nearly bereft he is of resources for turning the tide of shame ami ultimate ruin from hl path. He is doomed to extinction, and Heney Is to be the "front and offense" of his undoing; and there will be half a million beneficiaries to hall the fall of this arch-thief. 0 000000000000000000 0 EDITORAL SALAD. 0 000000000000000000 The Republican majority In the next house seems to be as deep as a well and as wide as a church door, and it will certainly serve. 0 Prophet Parham, excommunicated and banished from Zlon City, will find plenty of missionary work await ing him in his new home Pittsburg.

It Is apparent to the most casual reader of the newspapers that there is a palpable access In crime all over the country. Nor is it at all surpris ing in view of the excesses to which the wealth of the country is being directed. The idle rich are responsi ble for the vast bulk of the evils and the bold and blatant display of tempt ing valuables on all sides, keeps alive the avid lust of theft and its kindred crimes and they will not down until the decent, common sense of the fortu nate people of the earth shall prevail to contract the allurement and chance for depredation. And again, a con spicuous percentage of these same people "with money to burn" are con stantly devising new methods of de bauchery and reckless indulgence, that invite the cupidity and desperate in Btincts that lead to crime in all its phases. Of course there are other agencies contributing to this wretched Increase, in fact they are innumer able, but the main cause has been stated and we doubt seriously if any abatement of the leading basic en-: ticement will be made. The inclln- The size of the vote In Illinois shows that the state did not consider 1908 an off year. And, as usual, she rolled up a good-sized Republican majority. 0 Mr. Hearst's name for his opponent was "animated feather duster.'

The class called workingmen are believers In prosperity and good government. o The fight in several of the states, especially New York, was a hot time, and some other term than off year will have to be invented for such occasions. The Cure For Anarchism By CHARLES J. BONAPARTE, Secretary of the Nivy XATvClTTSM will not bo removed within a given time or through a special measure or ret of measures. Perhaps it will not bo whollv removed in nnv time or bv anv means. I believo that anarchism 1ms been and can bo mado less dan gerous by king dealt with SKKIOUSLY AND RATIONALLY. In tho first place the unlawful nets prompted by anarchism should be mado crimes in so far aa they are not, strictly speaking, crimes already, and should be punished with such penalties as aro particularly distasteful to the criminals and therefore tho most effective, deterrents to crime. To keep an anarchist for years in a penitentiary merely burdens the community with the support of an irreconcilablo enemy, with con stant risk of his escape or pardon and tho certainty that whenever he leaves ho will bo, if possible, A .WORSE MAX THAN WHEN HE ENTERED, j On anarchists the death penalty should bo unequivo cally imposed by law and inflexibly executed when ever tho prisoner has sought, directly or indirectly, to take life. For offenses of kvs gravity I adviso a compara tively brief but VERY RIGOROUS imprison ment, characterized by complete seclusion, deprivation of all comfort and denial of any form of distraction, and a severe, but not public, whipping. THE LASH, of all punishments, most clearly shows tho culprit that ho suffers for what his fellow men hold odious and dis graceful and not merely for reason of public policy. t it it Any abridgment from, fear of tho anarchists of that freedom of tpeoch and of the press guaranteed us by our stato and federal consti tutions would bo neither a wiso nor a worthy policy; but thceo privi leges in nowise shield COUNSELORS OF CRIME or instigators of disorder and rebellion. A published writing recommending tho murder of the chief magistrate and the violent overthrow of the gov ernment is a seditious libel AT COMMON LAW, and there is no good reason why tho public utterance of fpokon words of tho same purport should not be made a like otienso by statute. IT IS ALREADY A CRIME TO ADVISE A FELONY OR GRAVE MISDEMEANOR IF THE ADVICE LEADS TO THE CRIME SUGGEST ED, AND THERE IS NO GOOD REASON WHY THIS SHOULD NOT BECOME A SUBSTANTIVE OFFENSE WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONSEQUENCES. v7 J WANTHD-8TKADY MAN OV AD VHiiced years for nlulit watchman, 0 News from Want Adville U HILL JoNHH n down and out AcuonlliiK to tho peopla Awaiting for tlitj sexton's bull A-tollIng In the steeple.

Politician today are beginning to realise that honesty is the best POLITICS, as well as the best POLICY. It is now generally conceded that a rascal is a rascal Mill, whether he calls himself a Republican or a Democrat. PARTISANSHIP IS A GOOD THING SOMETIMES, BUT PATRIOT ISM IS A GOOD THING ALL THE TIME.

ALWAYS WAS SICK. When a man says he Is always sick, troubled with a cough that lasted all winter what would you think if he should say he never was sick since using Ballard's Horehound Syrup. Such a man exists: Mr. J. C. Clark, Denver, Colorado, writes: "For years I was troubled with a severe cough that would last all winter. This cough left me in a miserable condition. I tried Ballard's Horehound Syrup and have not had a sick day since. That's what It did for me." Hart's Drug Store MRS. POTTER PALMER. SEATTLE, Nov. 14.

APPEARANCES Often a person is sized up by his appear ance; by the tone that surrounds him. And more often a business house is sized up by the stationary it uses. A cheap letter head or a poor bill head gives a mighty poor first impression and makes business harder to transact. Good printing costs no more than poor printing. The first im pression is half the battle in business. You wouldn't employ a "sloppy" sales man; why put up with "sloppy" station ery, that gives a wrong impression of the importance of your business.
