It is hard to tell, these days, just who anyone is, so swift-moving and elusive are the terms upon which we are living and mingling in this country. In the older nations, men, and women too, have to be avouched for, socially and commercially, before they can get very deeply into the midst of things; but here we permit appearances to sponsor people and are satisfied with the vagu est endorsement and are too hurried to waste time in far-reaching inquiry. A esse in point is that of Governor Ma goon, of Cuba, who sent a man by the name of Ferrers to the peace confer ence at The Hague, and has had to sum mon him home because the Italian envoy there instantly and conclusively ivcog nid Ferrera as a noted Italian anarch ist, with an ugly record. It is this supine idea of ours that things and people are "all right," that swells the history of costly and shameful imposi tion for which we are almost famous as a nation. We are smart enough in other lines and hold our own with com mendable grace and success, but when it cornea to recklessly accepting the fraud and the scoundrel we are notori ously easy, and we are constantly pay ing the scare of our careless indulgence. Xow that his testimony has been given in tht Haywood case it will no longer, be necessary for anybody to re sent the insinuation that witness Harry Orchard is an undesirable citisen. - . a The doctors are advising against the use of meat. In view of the present market quotations, and the house wife's daily experience at the gory block, the advice is timely enongh. More than a third of Missouri's coun ties have complete rural delivery serv ice. ,Xow let them facilitate the work of the carriers, and their own, by put ting the road in fine order. N'early 8,000,000 tons of freight passed through the Soo waterways in May. Will Mr. Burton mention the amount before the channel was improved by government appropriations? K new theory is that wireless tele graphy is causing changes in climate. If anvthine of tola nature can oe prov ed, the weather ought to be Improved instead of demoralized. The political issues for which Mr. Bryan has worked the hardest are those he has ceased to mention, though he talks a good deal. CHUCK THE MOSS I If Astoria and Clatsop county are to figure Urge, and profitable, in the near future; if immigration is to be attracted hither, and held here after it arrives; if investment is to follow the coming of men who are seeking farms and especial opportunities and particular en gagement, then there has to be a sud den and radical revolution in the meth ods and spirit that prevail here now. There must be a loosening up; the properties that will be in demand must be on the market, at rational prices, ready for the man with money who comes after them. In the other works Astoria has got to chuck her moss and get into the midst of the market, just as Coos, Tilla mook and other coast counties are do ing, and have something to show and and to sell when the investor appear, and begin to realize on her holdings. There has been to much of this sort of disappointment handed out to visitors here this year and there will be a re acting against this whole district unless the land-holder lets go and makes it possible for the new man to get a foot ing. There is a growing idea that we are "mossy" around here, and if that estimate is to be cancelled and the "stranger within our gates" is to be wTonught into a satisfied citizen, be must find us amenable to his money and his ambition; he wont stand for denial; there are too many other points he can go to and secure what he wants, and to deliberately send him away, is cut throat policy and will result in our de feat in the contest for the very thing we need most, more people and more money, the . only agencies that build up communities. Railroads nor steamship will build cities for us; it's the people that come in the wake of these big concerns that do the building; and they must have something to build on, and with; and if we do not furnish them with a mark et, safe, varied, and rationally valued, we are likely to figure as a fooligh peo pie and unsuccessful. If a land-holder supposes that he is going to make up for all the years of waiting he has been aubiected to, in the new price he will get for his land, he will find another spell of waiting coming his way, and the decent, conservative value he might not going about the world making good the laches of people who are not smart enough to sell when they can, Astoria must wake up and put hev eU in line with the developing en ters of the Oregon coast country; and she must do it quickly, or suffer the legitimate consequences. There are too many points to turn to for any one place to assume to dictate irrational value or discourair the immigrant we are advertising all over the country f.r.
