Th meeting of the American Bar As sociation, at Portland, Maine, recently, furnishes an incident of peculiar inter est to all Americans, when the Whitlock resolution criticising and condemning President Roosevelt for cerUm alleged strictures he bad cast upon a group of the membership of that great organiza tion some time ago, was beaten out of recognition and failed uterly to attain to a Tote. And perhaps the most salient feature of the affair was the fight put Bp by Judge Alton B. Parker, president of the association, and the defeated op ponent of Mr. Kooaevelt in the last presidential campaign, against the pas sage or consideration of the resolution. It is against the policy and dignity of so important a society1 as the American Bar Association to deal in such per sonalities, especially when they are di rectly against the Chief Executive of the nation, and are discountenanced on gen eral ethical grounds by all organiza tions. In the case under consideration they were evidently inspired by political animus, and this fact emphasizes the manly contention of President Parker in bis successful obliteration of the attack. We do not hold President Roosevelt to be immune from the commission of blun ders; indeed, we have several times de plored his untoward act and word in the course of what he thought was his specific duty; but as tbe President of this great country, he is absolved from too harsh and too conspicuous handling, a the indulgence in such methods would bring his office and his administration into disrepute, and open the bars to the world for reckless reiteration of stric tures initiated, and therefore sanctioned, by this people; a condition that would soon make "ducks and drakes" of the quality of the highest office known to humanity. We are glad the incident closed at tbe propitious moment and in the proper fashion, and we are exceedingly glad of the influence exerted by Judge Parker, since it shows that he could readily lay aside what of lingering political preju dice he may have entertained against his successful rival at the polls, and was conscious of, and competent for, the peculiar exactions of the moment, and thorough-bred enough to compel the tactful and generous treatment neces- sary.

Managers of the Iowa State Fair have decreed that all girl attendants must wear skirts not les than four inches from the ground. People desiring to see the calves will nave to go to the stock peu.

Restaurant patrons in that town will be waryi about ordering spring chk-ken for a few days. S Some states maintain an appointive judiciary, some have achieved an elec tive judiciary and some have a judiciary thrust upon them. Mr. Winston Church has come out for Taft for President, and possibly this time New Hampshire will not refuse to collaborate.

There is to be nothing but sunshine, fun, inusic, sports, game', decorations, display, parades and the paraphernalia of the feast, in Astoria all of next week, and we might just ag well get in line and begin the important duty of smiling, extending the "glad-hand," and practic ing up on such pleasant manifestations as we feel a bit short on, if any such shortage exists. The whole city will be in the entertaining class next week and we must not fall down on our history. , Astoria is famous for the gift of clever and generous welcome and care of her guests, and this Thirteenth expression of her Regatta hospitality must ever lastingly cinch the happy record, with the thousands that will bear away the newer testimony;. OREGON FACT-FINDERS. Today there will be a notable gather ing in Astoria. There will be at least 100 fact-finders in town from all over the State. The Oregon Press Associa tion is coming on its annual outing and will spend the better part of three days in and about Astoria, Seaside sharing the honors with this city. W!hen these clever people go to their respective homes and tell the tale of their vacations, we want Astoria to figure immense end unanimous in the story. ' We want the facts they find around here to mean something when these finders relate the history of the trip. They tel what they know to many and they tell it honestly, and sometimes gratefully, and the hundred yarns will be worth a good1 deal to A torians in the future. Therefore ,if you run across a newspaper man or woman today, or betwixt now and Monday, take Movement of Our Fleet a Mistake. jr Senator EUGENE HALE of Main. CHE people of Japan generally and the member of the govern ment of that empire are honestly and faithfully setting themselves TO. PRESERVE PEACE and to devote tho energies of Japan io the building up of her peaceful inter ests, but these happy influences are opposed in Japan by a war or jingo party. There is no pretense whatever that Japan in any way threatens us or any of our possessions. Our wise secretary of state is at this moment trying to negotiate a treaty with Japan that will settle all controversies and silence all war alarms. DOES ANYBODY BELIEVE THE DISPATCH OF A GREAT WAR FLEET INTO A8IATIC WATERS WOULD HELP THE SECRETARY IN HI8 EFFORT8 TO PRESERVE PEACE? Congress has been generous in its appropriations, and under them we have built what is today, with the ships now building, probably the second naval force in the world. SENATORS AND MEMBERS WOULD HAVE LOOKED TWICE BEFORE VOTING THESE APPROPRIATIONS had they supposed that when a great force of warships should be assembled the first enterprise would be an expedi tion into Asiatic waters upon the other side of the globe, carrying with it the IMMINENT DAN GER of arousing the resentment of a great people with whom we are at peace and with whom a war would be a WICKEDNESS ALMOST PAST HUMAN CONCEPTION. THE WISHING HABIT. The evil of wishing is that it gener ally stops the king. If I say to you today, "I wish I had more to offer you in this article," I have stopped my pro gress toward writing you a better article next time. I have made my little ap ology, I feel that I am quits with the cosmos and have, not only done well; but 1 have stated that I wish I could1 do bet ter. In training children you will find it salutary, and not at all impossible to make it a rule that they should drop the words "I wih," out of their vocabulary. All helpless things do too much wishing of this sort. The only kind of wishing that it worth anything is externalized or expressed wihing--in short doing. If a man is filled! with what we call sin, the short cut for him is to express it. Only thus can he test and know whether he wishes to be an evil doer. He may never Ieurn In this life the beau ty of keeping with the law and travel ing the up-slope of the circle; but hli being forced to accept your opinion or mine would not help his soul, though In the matter of over acts we all recognize its necessity as a protection for society. I have a friend who Is an extremist in this matter, and who horrified a sedate breakfast table of persons by announc ing' that If a man felt homicidal she thought the sooner he went and killed somebody and got the nasty murder out of his heart and into his acts, the better off he would be. Society cannot ex actly permit hlw to extern lite for the good of bis own soul to thaC extent. Yet such a man, when he stood upon the gallows with the rope around his neck would be nearer perfection that the same man, with bis tendencies thwarted, act ing as Sunday School superintendent.

COHAN, Actor and Pliywrliht Y IDEA 18 TO KEEP MOVING WHEN YOU ARE MAKING GOOD. THERE 18 NOTHING 80 BENEFICIAL TO THE MIND A8 ACTIVITY. The only man who makes any progress is the one who keeps his mind active. You must either improve your mind, force ahead or you will be lost in the shuffle. ' The great mistake most people make is that they quit work and lose their ambition just as soon as they make a few dollars. THEY CANNOT STAND SUCCESS and fall into a rut. The time to do real hard work is when you have accomplished something to attract attention. THEN GO AFTER SOMETHING BETTER OR MORE DIFFICULT, and you will find that the things that first appeared hard to accomplish will be easy to execute. of the Pacific Coast ASTORIA THEATER Sunday.
