LOCAL MONIES.
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.

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-;

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

Joe" will be the nomination of the Re-
