The recent trouble! In Pa Francisco hav com nt a tlrn when the Japanese war spirit needed little to fin It Into a flame, and a a result relations ara anld to ba far more strained than th government li will ling to admit. rroffeaor Benjoml Ida Whrd.r, of tha I'nlveralty of ChI Ifornla. called at tha Whit Ileus this week with tha statement that th situation on tha Paclflo coast la dally becoming mora acuta. Senator Flint of California also t perturbed, and In his report. Rear-Admiral George Converse. Chlf of tha Ruresu of Nav tgatlon, maliaa significant recoommen flatlon for an Increased nival fore on tha Pacific and tha enlistment of native American only In tha naval service, rVeretary Metealf, who In vest (gated condltlona In Ban Francla eo. baa mad hla report to tha Proa Ident but tha text haa not ben made public. It ta not believed, however, that tha Metealf report will tnrow much light on tha aubjeot, for tha Bee retary was unabla to make mora than a superficial Investigation, and hla finding ara baaed entirely on evl danca aubmlttad by both eldee to tha controversy, which oroaa over th ex elusion of Japanes atudenta from the puMla school. 1 tlnued prosperity of all Intoreata, and with many other ahlppora wa aea no hope for permanent relief and low rate except through the Imprlvement of the rivers and harbors of tha Unl ted Htatea." Tha National Rivers and Harbor Congress, aa la well known, la an or ganlxatlon of commercial bodlei throughout tha country and Ita aim to eecura an annual appropriation 60,000,000 for waterways development After braving the Icy terror of the Arctic. Commander Robert R. Penry aelxed with a bad cold eomHhlng from which he wn Immune all through hla dash toward the North Pole. The explorer lunched with the President Battirday, after paying hla reapeeta to Becrctary Itonaparle. " who congratu lated him warmly on hla feat of reach ing 1 "fartheat North," dVelariif; hW accompllahmenta reflected credit on the ITnlted Statea Navy, Commander Peary la at work on hla report of tha trip, but he will not ba able to get well under way until th arrival of tha ahlp Itooaevelt at New Tork, aa moat of hla notea are Rtlll In the cabin. He will have plenty of time In which to draw up the account of hla Intent expedition, for the two yeara leave of ahaenee granted him do not expire until April. There ta a disposition on the pnrt of the government eoonomlata to believe that commercial troaperlty may over reach Itself by too great a growth, Rratlatreel' lnat report aeta forth clearly the renann for thla pesslmla tie view, when It aaya: "The really aerloua cnuae of com' plnlnt, a reflection In Itaelf of aupcr abundant prosperity, la the practically country-wide congestion In railroad traflto which affecta grain movement, collection and retnll trad In the Northwest, delay delivery of bndly needed coal supplies In th entlr Weat Interfere with the movement to mnr- ket of cotton In the South and ham pera manufacturing operation In the Iron and tH textile, lumber' and other trades," That thla foreboding Is shared by the great manufacturing concern I shown clearly by a letter received by J. F. Ellison, secretary of the Notional River and Hnrbora Congress, which holds Its convention here thla week. The letter la written by the Interna tional Harvester Company, one of the lnrgest shipper In the country, and In pledging Ita support to th move ment for a more vlgoroua, develop ment of the rivers and harbor of this country, It say: "W consider It one of the most Im portant scheme of Improvement now before our country, and we have no doubt but what your organisation will meet with the success that It deserve. We trust that this work will be com menced' at an early date, the sooner the better, The congestion In the car rying trade I very dangerous to con-, The busiest man In the United Btate, probably, 1 Secretary, Taft, Th corpulent cabinet official ha on hi hand score of big question that need Immediate attention, and he rushed to keep up with hla work. The return of President Roosevelt added to hla woes, for he la In demand aa an adviser, Then there la hla an nual report, a work of head-splitting proportion, for It cover not only th army but the Phllllplne, Panama, Porto Rico, and Jut now, Cuba, For th Inst two or three day th Beer tary haa locked himself In hi ofTiclal castle, lowered th portculll, ralaed the drawbridge and withdrawn from the ye of th world. In short, he baa adopted th acheme of locking on the liuilde every door loading to hla own suit In' th War Department, and be thu I enabled to work without In terrupllon. It may be that hla la bora will reduce hi fleah, but thla altogether unlikely, for the heavy weight of th Roosevelt official family aeem to thrive and even grow on hard work. The Bureau of Labor haa Juet I ud a report devoted entirely to the discussion of convict labor. The ten dency of various atatea to engage th manufacture of good In compe tltlon with free labor ( Aos!on!r. much adverse criticism here, for It not only eatabllahes a dnngeroua prec ednnt, but It la Inimical to the Inter eaia or both commerce and labor. The dgnler and worklngVnan, tax-pajfcra allk and assisting to support th penal Institution, are thus placed In th po altlon of creating and "aiding a' rival with whom they cannot hop to com pet In the open market Those tntca who, In their aeal to atrlke the so called truet. adopt thla method of aolvlng an economic problem, would appear to b hurting the very claaa of their people they are most anxious to defend. Th disastrous leases to the farm Implement trade la touched on In the report, a condition attributed In large meaaur to the manufacture of binding twine by several of the atatea. There la certain to b bitter crltl clam of th dismissal of throe com panie of negro soldier by the Prea Ident when Congress gets Into action It la probable that almost aa aoon aa the the session la opened a number or resolutions wll, be offered demanding all Information on the subject, and number of bitter epceches are expec ted In denunciation of Mr. Roosevelt' drastic action. Senator Fornker will aponk on tty aubjtt, delivering purely legn) addresa on the power of th President In thla regard, and Sen ator Tillman likely will be heard from, The South Carollnan cannot be ac cused, of bean Uchamplon of thle black race, but he la reported to have aald that the dlaoharged men were driven from tha aervlce unjustly. It la not likely that Congresa will attempt any thing so extreme the passage of an act restoring tha battalion to the rank. The President holds the veto power aa club and It la not probable that Congress could muster enough votca to pas the matter over a veto, even If it felt In the mood to offer such a robuke to the Chief Executive, In the appointment of John A. Mc Ilhenny of New Iberia, Ia., to be civil aervlce commissioner, President Rooevolt Ingnln hnls flouted estab lished precedent, and haa shown him self broad enough to select the man he believes best fitted for the place. In aplte of hi political belief. Mr. Mc Ilhenny la a Democrat and about 42 year of age. He waa a member of the Rough Rldera and la a manufac turer of tabasco sauce thus being, probably '"hot stuff" in the Preslden- . ui oy. jta onaperoned tha Presi dent on his bear hunt In the Mleelss. Ippl can broke, and la a close friend of the chief executive. Jut at the present time the sphinx In politic I Secretary Shaw. Just what the Secretary of the TreaBry Is to do when he withdraw from the Cabinet, March 4, la dlffleutt to proph ecy, for he rofusea to talk. Although he does not deny that flattering offer hav been made by big financial lnatl iutlona In New Tork, he looks myste rious when hi Interviewer seeka to learn further facta. It I generally believed, among hi elect, however, that the Seoretary will return to Iowa, and manage the affaire of a National Bank In hi horn town of Dennlson. It ta recognised that Mr, Shaw has not, by any mean, put astd hla preslden tlul ambition, even though hi poll tlcal enemies control th party ma chinery of hi atnt. It I likely that ha will remain where th lightning may atrlk hi political rod if It come hla way, Unci Bum will be asked by th Bureau of Navigation to provldo fund for th chnmpagn and terrapin and pat fol graa served in foreign porta by th doughty officer of th Uni ted State Navy. Aa a matter of fact th naval officers hav been compelled In th past to entortuln a great deal In appearing oft foreign ahorea, and while thla has been an Important part of the program In cultivating friendly commercial connection, th officer hav been compelled to meet the extra expenditure out of their own pay. Such a condition I unfair to th ser vice, and is found only tn the United State navy. Reform are to be asked. III THE CITY CHURCHES. 4 , First M. E. Church.

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. Let us do your printing and help you to make that ten strike. The J. S. DellihgerCo. ASTORIA, OREGON
