The various bank statements put out by the cashiers of Astoria's financial in stitutions show that there are several millions of money on deposit here, be side the volumne in constant circula tion. This leads to the thought that if even half of that deposit-sum was em ployed in local enterprise and the estab lishment of new businesses of all kinds here, how swiftly the man from the outside would sense the situation and hasten here with his own pile, be it big or little. It takes such an initiative to inspire interest abroad, and while we are showing but a meagre quantity of it, there is wealth enough here to invoke the investment of other millions to the common advantage of all concerned. The day is not far distant when the enterprise of one, or more, great corpo rations is going to compel the idea of turning this idle money to local use, and perhaps by that time the measure of profit will be abridged from what it would be now, if the man of wealthy was creating the channels vfor its exploita tion himself and getting in on the ground floor. Once there is a big inspi ration to do something of the kind, there will be plenty of auxiliary capital to take up the fast developing, money coining opportunities, and the Astoria man may regret his indifference when it is too late. We believe in caution, in the hus banding of resources and in the banking of one's excess; but we also beheve in local snap and get-up and the applica tion, of local means to the holding of local mediums for investment, even though "they be parted with later, to outsiders, at handsome margins. The effect of a lively, local concern in all the elements of expansion is immensely valuable to the market and enhances re spect of the man from beyond our gates for the genius, capacity and re liance of the man he has come to deal, and dwell, with. sand miles of Mississippi water-front a half-mile deep, to greet this capable, democratic, conscientious President who does everything and does it well. What a task ahead for bis successor in the filling of a place so amplified by his occupancy I There are few men in American who can meet the measure! THE M0SSBACK1 Hie "Mossback" is alleged to be a purely Oregon institution. Under that title he is met with nowhere else. Of course, he is omnipresent; but in Ore gon he seems to be nearly omnipotent, a3 well. Portland has him, in vast and various sorts, and has but lately over come Mm, by either pushing him to the wall, of innoculating him with the virus of her wonderful enterprise and comman dering luru in the van of her splendid success, which he is now sharing, no doubt, to his infinite satisfaction. His own brother is right here, with all the qualities that mark him for a knockers a drag, an impediment, but we have not learned the gift of shelving him; this may come to us in the midst of new and lively conditions when his "lame and impotent'' program begins to Inter fere too seriously with the realizable ad vantages that spring up in the rush, and we promise him the quickest and com pletest negation that ever overtook any body, if we once come to understand the knack of how, and when, to do it. The "Mossbaek." like the "Old Man of the Mountain," never gets off the shoulders of a community so long as it will carry him and his aggressive oppo sition. He lives in the past when all things fell his way simply for the ask ing; he knows no such thing as a fu ture; tomorrow, just twenty-four hours ahead, is as far as he willpeer into a proposition and if he cannot see the realities in that narrow perspective, he quits right there and goes to knock ing. But, he cannot stand the rush, nor understand it, either; and there is where he falls down, lapses and fades. MJiy the day of his discounting, in As toria, be nearer at hand, than anyone dreams of; and once his type is extin guished, may it never be revived, to the hampering, the discomrt, the loss, of this splendid state!

WHAT A MAN HE IS! When one stops to think of the extra ordinary versatility of the man Eoose velt, one cannot escape the amazing con clusion that he is adaptable to any con ceivable situation that may confront him, and what is more, dispose of it within the very letter" of its peculiar exactions. For a whole week he has been tra versing the greatest waterway of tbe continent, visiting a dozen cities and talking to hundreds of thousands of profoundly interested citizens upon tie gravest concerns of the nation, telling them, as their chief citizen should, the real, the wise, the safe things to do; defining national policies in simple, straight-forward terms, and otherwise putting himself in intimate and friend ly touch with the millions who have learned to respect him and rely upon, irrespective of politics and locale; be haS been the central figure of a great eimm of men, of Governors, Senators, Congressmen and other notables, hourly in the limelight, momentarily under the strain of a lofty duty most admirably discharged throughout. At a moment's notice he turns from it all, with all the avidity of a keen hunter, and plunges into the impenetrable swamps of Louis- Sana to hunt bears. Hell hunt them heartily, to their last lairs and' he'll iret them, too; and there won't be any fuss about it either; that's his way; he la tboroueh in everything and masterful always. No wonder the marvelling and appreciative Southerners lined a thou-; Don't worry about that new $10 gold piece so much; it is not epidemic; even when caught one seldom has it long, and never a second time.

Come and See V J There is one statesman whose faith in the lucky star of "Uncle Joe" Cannon does not waver. He is Senator Shelby M. Cullom, of Illinois. The Senator ths week was among those who called on the President upon the letter's return from Sagamore Hill. Standing on the steps of the White IIoue, the Illinois solon announced that he believed the Speaker would be the iioiuine of the Republican convention, for the reason that he was on friendly terms with the administration and all the other candi dates, had no entangling alliances, was strong with the people of the country, who believed implicitly in his" honesty, and practically was insured of the un divided support of Illinois. The Sena tor is firmly of the belief that the sit uation will work around so that "Uncle Joe" will be the nomination of the Re- Hill, in an address made at the reception the St. Paul Commercial Club, Friday, asserted that tho time probably had ar rived when railroad' building in this country had stopped, and that it would take a long time to start it again.

In order that a misconception might be corrected, the Postmaster-General has issued a statement in which he declares that postal employes may obtain leave of absence without pay when called to do duty as militiamen. All members of the National Guards of the various states, employed in the postal service, will be encouraged in "soldiering."
