t 'THE RESOLUTIONS FAILED.
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.

Klla Wheeler Wilcox say more women
should enter journalism, Klla is all
right except for two things; you break
into journalism, you don't enter; and

anyway; it's newspapering.
Managers of the Iowa State Fair have

A Chicago poet hag written an ode
about the buttonless shirt. If the high

though it might soon be the shirtless

Some states maintain an appointive

Mr. Winston Church has come out for

ASTORIA'S BIG WEEK.
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.

Keep Moving If
You Want Success.
By CEORCE M. 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.
