The wwk embracing the last days of ' August and the first days. of September, are to witness pleasant doings in this port. The Norwegian Sangerfest will be the star event of that period and will yield marvels of pleasure with it grand tickprow -of- 300 yeioM fid the brilliant 'corps of soloists and special groupings In rausio,- ibst will -make it notable. Thousands will flock there to hear this fine aggregation, and must linger to enjoy the "Coming of the Vikings,' the sew and leading feature of the annual Begatta, following instantly on the fnnnfeal feast U ft J'.?.- - J hi Never has Astoria put up such an unique entertainment and its novelty and brilliance will compensate for an unlimited patronage. The city will - achieve much by the co-incident pleaa- : urea of the great song-scheme and the marine festival billed for this season, ! HE KNOWS A GOOD THING. Admiral Chapman, of the Astoria Re gatta; Chapman, of the Chapman Adver tising Company, of Portland; a keen and appreciative business, man; has a good word for Astoria, ber commercial . claims and her future! . He speaks by .the card, fop he knows a good thing, and -. never underestimates it, nor over-values it. We want the good will of such men -in Portland; we need it. and there are none there to deny us, if they will but look us up and get acquainted with us. ; W have future that means much to . Portland, for the must, as the metrb 1 polls of Oregon, have large and definite : interest in all that concerns us and our progress; she cannot afford to overlook M aor disparage us; we shall contribute immensely to her growth and wealth, as we grow industrially and commercially, and we want her aid and interest. We want her every business man, like Chap man, to know us, size us up, and take a hand in our destiny. We are going to handle all of Portland's shipping some day, soon, and we are going to have i branches of all her great plant and in dustries and wholesale stores, and it be- , hooves her people to get next to our plans, means, advantages and prospects, and lend a ready and wie hand in their adaptation. Chapman has 'given them a cue worth following up! THEY KNOW, NOW! Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, has spoken; and the truculent combines, industrial, and finan- cial know, now, just what to expect, at least so long as this honest and fearless man is at the head of national affair. He has said they shall obey the law of the land; that they shall cease to mlej viciouBlji and arbitrarily, to the undoing of the people, and the market of the country; that they shall be ma3 responsible' to actual government and relinquish their predatory gtatus, ! and ling htemselves with other Iesserj and law-abiding businesses. ' ' '' '-The President will surely keep Mi "word; he ha never broken It let, and 'the Titanic struggle wHl sbon "be on,' and we shall all know ho possesses' 'the 'real power and authority, the trusts, or the people. ' " 1 It is said the great "interests" will amalgamate to undo the effect of this policy by depressing the money and in. 'dustrial marts' of the country to the point of panic;' that they will .beggar the land, to discredit Roosevelt and his ' administration. Well, ' let them. The country can better stand such a season as thia portends, rather than fail in the final establishment of pure and genuine popular government, and the triumph of euch a climax of ruthless and selfish domination. The people must stand religiously and unviolably by the President and great Secretaries, and give his plan and pur pose the commanding force of popular sanction and endorsement. He is fight, ing for them, and in their own defense, and his, they must back him, to the last man and the last hour of the conflict. tr Morning Astorlan, 00 oent pet month, delivered by carrier. TO KEEP THEM OUT Immigration Officers Busy Look 1 ing Into Situation. BILL FOR NEXT CONGRESS Reports Are Continually Anivtog That Chinese And Japanese Are Being Smuggled Into the United States from Canada and Mexico. ... WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 With a spe cial commission appointed by authority of Congress gathering information in Europe with Swretary of Commerce and Labor Straus- making a tour of the Nor thern and Western Border and extend ing his trip into the Hawaiian islands, and with Commissioner General of Im migration of aliens, H is apparent to ev en the most, willfully indifferent, that the question, of .. immigration cne whk'h is giving the government much concern. .. , -Congress attempted to deal with the general .question of immigration, whioh is crowing in importance with eacn suc ceeding year, by making new regulations governing it, and it also gave the, Presi dent power to restrict the incoming of Japanese laborers, authority of whkh he availed himself. There is little trou ble now met with in the enfoivement of the Chinese exclusion laws although the success with which the Japanese are get ting into the country in defiance of the regukitions seems to be stirring up the Chinese to renewed efforts to break into a country which seem to be the Mecca of wage earners from all parts of the eartH The recent trip of Commissioner Gen eral Sargent to the northeast coast was prompted, apparently by the report that 'long, low, rakish craft," of tune-hon ored piratical appearance, had been land ing, or attempting to land, Chinese on tlie coast of Maine or Massachusetts. The craft, manned by Portugese suitors, who are supposed to be given. to sueh deeds as sbe was aeeueed of. was report ed at various point along the coast, and the customs collectors with commenda ble vigilance scoured the country to find if posible the ..iniquitous Chinese who were alleged to be , trying, to smuggle themselves under the folds of the starry flag. The weather was stormy end the doughty collectors had no summer out ing searching the rocky coast. They discovered they., said, .that the piratical looking eraft was bound for New Haven, that it claimed to have been driven in shore by stress of weather, and they failed to find any Chinese. Rumors occasionally reach the immi gration service in Washington that Chi nese, t as well aa Japanese, are - being smuggled across -the border of New Receiverships ';Jor Trusts a 1 Drastic Remedy.

What would be the result on trade and commerce I do not know. , ; ;'" Z'-i-::. 11' In my judgment, however, THERE IS NO GOOD REASON WHY THIS , PROPOSITION, SHOULD ; BE INTERPRETED AS A STEP IN THE DIRECTION OF GOVERNMENT OWN ERSHIP OR SOCIALISM. The real socialistic danger does not lie in the attempts or desires of the authorities to dissolve illegal com binations, but in the fact that such combinations have been allowed to grow and exist. If all the business of the country is to be absorbed and conducted by a great corporation THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE THAT CORPORATION and that is socialism. THE GOVERNMENT, HOWEVER, IS SEEKING TO MAKE COM PETITIVE COMPANIES OUT OF THE VARIOUS CONCERNS WHICH GO TO MAKE UP THE BIG MONOPOLISTIC CORPORATIONS. THERE 18 NO SOCIALISM IN THAT.

Their, apeecli.was said to have .betrayed t hem, when they failed to give. the "r! its proper sound and theyi were chavd back across the line. Cumuli seem to be getting consider ably stirred up over the question of Oriental immigration. A recent rsue of the Vancouver World contained a sensational cuticle featured on the front page with a head running across the page; "Kvidence of Plans to Flood Van couvcr n. C with Japmese." The arti cle stated that several agencies existed in Vancouver and Honolulu for the im portation, of Jupaurse to Honolulu, Mex ico, and KritUh Columbia. The Japan ese .5. onsuia were represented a oppo sing the immigration schemes and F. Yosby, director of the Canadian Nippon Contracting Company, .said that the .Ijpune from Hawaii were buy, morbid aa incompetent and not desirable Immi grants. ,,. Consul Mortkawa at Vancou ver, is reported to have said that he warned the Japanese to stay away from here is as there was nothing for them to da. . On the other hand, N. Anuon repre senting the Japanese General Contract Company declared. thC the Japanese would all get work in lintl-h LolujnbM. It; wa alleged that the Japanese! Jloard-ing-House Union of Vancouver and the Syndicate of . Japanese ...yotel Keepers in, Honolulu were working touethcr to aid the immigration o, theup fellow coun trymen into British Columbia. ' Tha Vaneouves NJws-Ailvertiser of July 24th reports that K. Saaski was charged before United States Commis sioner A. C. Bowman with takinir five Japanese into the United States for (10 each. . Notice of his intention was re ceived from Bellingham and the Jups were stopped at Ballard. They said they were meeting with no difficulties up to the time of their arrest. In order to stop the influx of Japa nese a brunch of the Japanese-Corean Exclusion League has been formed in Vancouver. J. Kier . llardia leader of the British Liiior party, has been invi ted to address a meeting in Vancouver, and it is planned to hare a parade and s big demonstration in case he doe so. Evidently, the workingmen of British Columbia are determined to prevent the hordes of Asiatics from invading that colony if they can do so. i.lbeyiVrul doubtless be roundly con demned , by certain person in Boston and . other places where the Oriental question is much better understood then in the uniformed and essentially raw communities which have , nothing better ECOURSE to receiverships as an aid to the de partment of justice and the courts in breaking up combinations in restraint of trade and in dissolving monopolies would certainly be A NOVEL DEPARTURE FROM JUDICIAL PRECEDENT. I am not prepared to say and do not say that the proposition is untenable, but, in my opinion, it would be a DRA8TI0 REM EDY for the evils sought to be eradicated. Whether it ia within the province of the courts to appoint receivers of corporations on the ground that the corporations in question are members of an illegal combination , in restraint of trade I do not care to venture an opinion. than their experience to jjuide them iu oppolti the unrestricted immigration of cheap litlHtr from the Orient.
