' Tba whole, country will heartily en- dors the governmental aid that is being put forward at this hour of stringency . ted tha Fersident and his Secretary of tbe Treasury will be commended, even in the camp of the enemy, lor the wis dom that has sent of couple of hundred Billions of tha peoples' money out to serv tbe people.. . So long as the great reserves are not broached, nop tbe working capital of tbe government imperilled nor depleted, tbe idle millions belong to the eople and ahonld be need for their especial behest; the policy is a good one and has tbe sanction of the masses at this peculiar juncture. Its normal effect is excellent, also, and it may serve to deaden the thrill of gratified spleen indulged in by tha buccaneers who are engineering the disorders now prevalent,. -'At all events Mr. Roosevelt has done the right thing at tha critical moment, as be always does; and it will be re membered at the right moment in tha future aolng with all other claims of the aame eort. . .. 0 I "SHIPS THAT PAW-HOW! The grain ships that pass this port now-a-days to' get heir cargoes at tbe metropolis may, in another brief year, pans to the westward of Tongue Point, for fli consummation of tbeir errands of commerce. This is tha hope that ani mate tba ordinary Aatorian; and it is good to indulge the hope, since hope be gets tbe spirit of acquisition, and an active spirit goes after its best desires, and generally gets them. The big fleet that has entered this port during tbe past few days Portland bound for bread-stuffs wherewith to feed the hungry of all nations has ac centuated the ever-present idea of the ambitious dweller by these , sea-gates that, some day, these docks will be the berthings of this great trade for the Columbia Basin; snd this, mind you, without ill-will toward Portland; for the readjustment of the commerce of this valley cannot be wrought without the consent and aid of Portland, a con dition that forever involves the com manding and increasing interest of that city in the program. 0 . ROOSEVELT'S SUCCESSOR. We confess we cannot hold with those who insist that President Roosevelt must be the candidate fop the Presi dency next year. We are with them heartily in the hope that this might com to pass; but we have always felt he would not enter the field again and wa have seen nothing to warrant ns in changing our mind. Nor do we believe he is making any admissions as to bis choice of a candidate, though it is not unreasonable to credit him with the de sire to see himself succeeded by a man of his own trend and bent. He has been called a politician, and he is that, in the cleanest conceptiot and usage of the term; and this, of itself, operates to disparage the thought that he is com mitted to either of the foregoing deduc tions. ' We believe Theodore Roosevelt is to be a greater Senator than ever he was a President; and what Is more, we de sire to see him escape the slime and slobber of another great campaign, in order that he may enter the new field unfettered and free from the burdens that might otherwise hamper his acts as ia representative of the nation at large. The people have had a fore-taste of HOLIDAY END IN SIGHT. Despatches from Salem indicate that the end of the legal holidays will be reached at midnight on Saturday next. the 23rd. The Governor has intimated his satisfaction with conditions as they show themselves and haa declared the : holiday to that hour simply aa a con cession to commercial convenience and as a safeguard against any untoward emergencies that may arise. " If next Monday shall dawn upon safer and quiescent attitude of affairs in Oregon we shall have much to be pro foundly thankful fop three days later, and chief among the items of gratula tion will be toe wisdom that evolved and imposed the long string of holiday that absolutely ;ared tha day to all men. The climax to all these pleasant an ticipations will be the call for the extra session of the Leglsalture. We need the sanctioning hand of the law to seal the strange things we have passed through and the oddities and ambiguities that have sprung to the surface of our bus! ness lit during the psst month, and to pave the way for the assumption of the normal career that is to ensue. WOULD ORGANIZE ' COlONIES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN RE CEIPT OF EUROPEAN LETTERS , FROM AGENTS WHO WOULD SEND PEOPLE. HIGHER SALARIES. America Attracting European Theatri . call Stan. ' NEW YORK. Not. 19. The recent complaint of tbe French minister of Beaux Arts that the higher prices paid to theatrical and operatic stars abroad, especially in America is beginning seri ously to attract the best talent in tha state subvention theatres, ia being much discussed in theatrical circles here. Oscar Ham mere tein said: "It is true that singers in Europe receive very less than they do here, some times singing fop a month for Jess money than they receive her for one performance. But it must be remember ed that their engagement there ia for tba whole year, whereas, if they came to America, n only mesne aa engage ment for four or live montha." Mary Garden, of Mr. Hammerstein's company, wfio received 1200 a perfor mance at tha Theater Comique, Paris, but -who receives a stipend for each penormance in stw York which goes into four figures, said: Few people realize that opera is given at tha Comique is Paris for $2 for the most expensive seats. Naturally the director cannot pay enormous salaries. Add to that the fact that the living is very mnch cheaper In Paris and that an artist's engagement is a steady one. lasting year in and year out, and you have some explanation for tbe low salaries there. And there are obsolutely no expenses. Even one's costumes are furnished by the opera house management.'' To those who are interested In secur ing colonists from England, some of the letters from colonisation agents now be ing received by the Astoria Chamber of Commerce are probably of more than ordinary concern to Oregonlans having large landed iuterest. . As the Astoria Chamber of Commerce deslrea to Kelp upbuild tha whole state a much as possible, and although this organisation is now doing all it can to bring in colonists from England and Europe through the agents with whom it I getting in touch by means of its foreign advertising, three important let ters from business men abroad who de sire to negotiate with Oregou land owners or commercial bodies, with a view of sending colonists and land buy ers to Oregon, are her given for tbe benefit of the colonisation interests of the entire state: ' 1 , 1 "14th October 1007, "53 Richmond Road, "Gillingham, Kent, England.

Senator Reed Smoot said: "I think Congress ought immediately to pass an elastic treasury bill which would relieve the situation at once. The bill should be a broad one and should protect the government and at the same time provide the money neces sary to carry on the business la the United States. Such currency would be used only In emergency and would be withdrawn from circulation when need for it was psst. All other civilized countries have such a law. Tt seems to me absurd that there is need for such an action at . the pres ent time. The country is more pros perous now than at any time In Its history. There are tens of millions more money in the United States than m year ago. ji me close oi tbe year ending March 1 the balance of trade will be In favor of America by one bil lion dollars."
