TKUPVOint MAIS U. ; OffloUl jper of ClaUop Bounty and lb City of Astoria. . , , .,,.,'-.' WEATHER. , Western Oregon Showers, A HUNDRED-YEAR WAIT. Atori i nearing the end of her cen tury' waiting for the good thing nature ordained foi her, and it behoove her to be getting in readiness for the marked change that are to innure. She must chuck her old, desultory, indfferent way of looking at people and thing and lin en up to the demands of new people ' and larger activities. The exigencies of her development as a great rail-and-sea terminal call for a "pirit of eagerness and adaptability and reeeptiveness that will prove quite foreign to her old inert style of meeting things, and what she does not know of the exactions of the new conditions that are to be hers she has got to lesrn quickly. The first thing she knows James J. Hill and A. B. Ham mond will be at her doors with all man ner of huge propositions in milling, transportation, dockage and the colla teral industries that attach, and will ask for big things and quick decisions, and she mun be m infant ana wise touch with their every need and make good on the moment. To do this she must practice on the lesser elements of busines and progress that lie at hand, and coach herself into the humor and knowledim of DOIXO THIXGS. These men have, spent millions to get Into this wonderful corner of the earth and they will spend other millions to make the former good, and trom wis largess, the future of Astoria will draw its best and most permanent increment. It pays to know wnen and now to meet situations of this sort, ant! the best schooling a community like ours can have, is in the rigid, faithful, intelli gent and generous patronage and main tenance of its CHAMBER OF COM MERCE. Keep in close and intimate relation with this splendid agency and never suffer it to languish for an in stant when such a future is in sight. It Is the one phase of business life that is ever on the lookout for the best pos sibilities and the certain channel for warping probabilities into hard and ap preciable facts, and it cannot perform lt best work without the largest possi ble backing. . ,. . , ' The Chamber of Commerce is the first thing the interested, business-seeking gtrancer asks for .and if he finds it alive, progressive and ready for any sort of a deal, he know he has landed where bis investments are not going to dwindle. The new day is not so far way ss some may think, and once it dawns it will call for the exercise of every fine faculty and energy inherent in ASTORIA. , . ; THE ERA OP CINCH. This is the day of exploitation, the era of cinch, the time that all poor men will remember since it bears upon them harder than anyone else. We believe it is drawing to a close, however; that the people, the press, the courts, the popu lar will as shown in its myriad ways, has declared againBt it, and the de mand for reasonable margins and values is to be met. Xo one disparages the right or oppor tunity for the energetic, snappy, wide awake man or men to develop a live proposition and make money out of it; it is the vested privilege of everyone to do the best he can for himself and his, and he is aocounted creditable as he succeeds. But the question of the meas ure of profit has outstripped the means of the ordinary man to live up to it; and this particularly true of the great essentials of food-stuffs, fuels and rents. These elements are far too high, not from dearth of resources, but simply in ohedienee in the very false standards of profit that have obtained through the swing and rush of latter-day business nnliripa There is Tin lust caune for the existence of prevailing margins of gain, other than the simple willingness oi people to meet them rather than forego tho comfort and conveniences of life. Popular opinion is an immense lever in the determination of such things and this force is now readily at work on the transition to sober and legitimate levels of vested earnings, and it will The Dual Ownership Of American Railways. "i,:'- ,, "V- ' WIUIAM J. BRYAN. CHE dangers of centralization ore REAL DANGERS, how ever difficult it may be to get tho peoplo as a whole to con sider theories in advance of the application. We are not at the end of railroad development, but rather at its begin ning, and I feci, as I have always felt, that the ownership aud oper ation by the federal government of all the railroads, now constructed and to be constructed, would go far toward tho OBLITERATION OF STATE LINES, and' I regard tho preservation of our dual form of government as necessary to tho perpetuity of the republic. The plan according to which the federal government is to own only the necessary trunk lines and the several states the remainder of jthe roads is consistent with .our form of govern ment and, instead of leading to centralization, prom ises to build up the states and thus offer A SURE BULWARK AGAINST CENTRALIZATION. I have been surprised that this plan should be opposed on the ground that it would lead to centralisation when it was the FEAR OF THIS that led me to present the plan. While the plan was proposed before I knew of its having been tried in other countries, I have since learned that it has been SUC CESSFULLY EMPLOYED in other countries, notably in Germany, where nearly all the railroads are owned by the several states. . AT PRESENT THE M ALU LINES ARE FORCED INTO CON SOLIDATION IN ORDER TO SECURE AN OUTLET FOR THEIR TRAFFIC . AS SOON AS THESE PRIVATE LINES TAPPED A GOV ERNMENT LINE THEY WOULD BE INDEPENDENT. "We Should Have a New Bible." By Professor SMITH of Cornell University. EE Bible of the future will have a very important place in our religious life, but it will not be the Bible OF TILE PRESENT. It will be much larger and will contain all of the books that were venerated by the synagogue and early Christian church, many of which have been ELIMINATED. The future Bible t will also be newly translated. Somo of the present translations are atrocious. There must also be introductory notes and commentaries. The most important change will be the entirely NEW VIEW POINT in which it will be regarded and a changed estimate of its Talue, religious and historic. The idea that tho Bible h the sole source of religious knowledge and the standard of faith will fade away. It is preposterous to draw a SINGLE doctrine from the writings of A HUNDRED DIFFERENT MEN who had different religious viewpoints. WE WANT ALL THE BOOKS OP THE HEBREW3 AND CHRISTIANS, AND ALL OF THE GOOD IN THE OTHER RELIGIONS MUST BE IN CORPORATED IN IT. f& I r OS w a Bfl .. .

In this relation it strikes us that the veteran canneryman is very near the truth of the situation, upon the correla tive ground that the salmon Is of the real "Wild," a Barney specimen that i sheered from the sights and sounds of man-life. It flees as all wild things flee from the thronging of people and all that people set in motion, finding refuge in the lonelier and farther recesses where man, and mills and debris are not. Whatever can be done to placate the magnificent fish should be done at once and greed should give way, for once, to spare a splendid industry to a people who can ill afford to lose it altogether.
