', Tfca proposed amendments to the charter of Astoria, as exemplified by the published changes In Section No. (which section, o fltself Is an actual charter in many essentials) will have to be studled.and weighed by the vot er. Nothing In the way of time and pace that this paper possesses Is suf flcjer.t for a detailed review of Its fifty even sub-divisions; and while there are many excellent things In it, there are many Items not quite so excellent and which must be ferreted out by the citizen for himself. - It Is quite worth all the study that will be given It, which will be simply till as far as the general reading public Is con earned. The last provision of sub-di vision 5, of the amended section, con ferring the sole right upon the City of Astoria to own, conduct, operate and engage In the saloon business, to the ousting and denial of any single Individual, la enough to damn the whole business, and If all its better elements must be abandoned by Its defeat on this sole score, then it were wen to defeat It If only to save As torla from taking this last step in municipal degradation. "'.1' BUT THREE DAYS REMAIN. Three days hence the voter la Astor ia will be called upon to exercise bis great function, for the credit and ad vantage of hla city; and, white there Is an unusual absence ot broad choice In candidates, or parties, or other ele ments ot selection It la perfectly rea sonable to expect that no voter will rorego his right and prestige to be counted, thus showing that be ts alive to the exigencies ' of the hour, and not Indifferent to the city nor hla own standing, by refraining to cast his vote simply because he thinks It is not needed. It Is the better part ot cltlxenshlp, always to employ one's electoral rights, If 'only to show the spirit of endorsement nd a knowl edge of what Is going on. And the full cumulative vote always redound to the credit ot a community, as In dicatlng that all her clttsena are alive to what Is passing In their Interest, And, on Wednesday next,' It Is not only that Hon. Herman Wise Is to be re-elected mayor; that Chaa. IT. Aber cromble Is to be elected as city attor ney; and three councilman tl be sent up for service, but there are fifteen amendments to the organlo few of the city to be adopted, or rejected, and this point, of Itself, Is ample warrant for the polling of the largest possible municipal vote. Let no man neglect his franchise! THE "SIMPLIFIED" CODE. A PIANO ffi IT8 SECOND HAND, BUT A GOOD ONE COME IN ANO SEE OTHER SNAPS-IT WILL PAY YOU.

The big foot of Congress has been set down heavily upon the President's pet fad of simplified spelling. Here Is where the big foot and the big stick clash and we are of the opinion the country as a whole Is with the Con gress In its fiat decision to "pass it tip." Teddy is all right in the ma jority of his Ideas and purposes, but we suspect that he has been urging the new scheme of spelling from sheer lit' erary pre-disposltloti rather than from any official or authoritative Impulse, At all events he has gotten a crack squarely between the eyes on this hob' by, and we look with Interest to see bow be will take It If Congress can cold-bloodedly knock out his dearest foible In the literary realm, and shall administer another gagging dose by puncturing his lofty, aerial Japanese kite at the same sitting, the country will breath easier for a spell, at least And this capable, honest modern man of power and progress can devote his talents- to some measures more In harmony with the time and people he . Is serving. We hate to see Mr. Hoose velt denied anything.- He gives so much and spontaneously, and comes so near doing the square thing at all times, that we have no real relish for his defeat in any line, but the con solation is always with us, that he Is man enough to realize and recognize the will of his master, the people of America, at the same time he Is en , deavorlng so earnestly and faithfully to do it Don't scoff at the souvenir post card craze. It has been given the endorse ment and hearty approval of Postmas ter General Cortelyou. and as a mat ter of fact furnishes the government with a most profitable form of mall matter. In order to keep the profit able fad from dying out the postal service has issued an order providing that all such cards may bear written messages On the front, the right half of the card being reserved for the ad dress, and with sufficient postage they win be transmitted under the poet card rates to foreign countries. The order goes into effect March 1, 1907, and the post cards will be treated alike In both the domestic and International mails. '-.'.;,: .

EDITORIAL SALAD. , e Everywhere . people are burning a mistake. Professor Charles E. Bcs sey, in the Nebraska State Journal, says: "Don't burn your leaves, if you have a lot on which you grow flowers of any kind. Leaves contain a great deal of valuable food matter for grow ing plants. Put the leaves in a close pile In some corner of your lot put a few boards or sticks on the pile to keep the leaves from blowing away. By spring most ot the leaves will be well rotted and you will have a lot of the best leaf moud' -you ever saw for your potted plans. Leaves are too valuable to be burned. You might as well burn up your manure pile as to burn your leaves." A BIT OF DIPLOMACY. We are forced to the conclusion that President Roosevelt, In his recent and ardent championship of the Japanese and their supposed claims on. this country for conspicuous recognition, " Is using a bit of diplomacy to obviate y the necessity of real and direct con J cessions, and while maintaining the J pose of a chief-executive wholly dls- i posed to grant all that Is asked, will A Chicago man winked and nodded at a young lady and she has sued him for breach ot promise.

The very thing that is dull and uninteresting to you may be the one thing in the paper for some other readers. There are whole pages In the dally papers that are of no interest to us, but they are to others. A paper which contained nothing but such matter that would interest any cne or another of us would have a limited number of readers, There are many people of many minds. The day of the old-fashioned buck wheat cake is passing. In its place comes one of much lighter hue and of different flavor. This is due in great measure to the reducing of the buck wheat flour with wheat flour.- While many people prefer the lighter cake, they also prefer to do their own adul terating.
