AN OLD-FASHIONED SENATOR United States Senator Eugene Hale, of Maine, is one of the "his toric" group in that distinguished body. He has been there so long that the ever increasing pace of the country has out-stripped him, left him wondering and fearing and contend ing against the newer and swifter doctrines of the day; and now he is wrought to a pitch of anxiety be cause of the recent army appropria tion of $100,000,000, that it is almost amusing despite the dignity and sin cerity of the protest and its source. The population of the country it self has advanced one man for every dollar he protests against, in this par ticular, since Mr. Hale was born, and the ratio increases with every day he lives. He rather ignores the predi cate in his prophecies, however, and sees nothing ahead but the "demni tion bow-wows," if we are to adhere to our expansive and expensive pro gram. Graft excepted, the country has noth ing to fear from this sort of thing; but the trouble is to circumvent the graft. This may have been at the root of Senator Hale's calculation; and would- go far to justify his dolorous and thrifty warning. But it is well to take a cheerful view and try to concede that graft has been roundly checked, and that sometime it will be eliminated, doing our best to meet the Washingtonian precept, "in time of peace prepare for war." The millenium is very remote. The venerable Senator from Maine is a few years nearer to it than the young sters of this generation; and so long as we are maintaining schools of war we are holding the prospect open for all time. Conflicts are inevitable; and it is good doctrine to be in a state of confident preparedness as one of the chief precautions against the real thing. All we regret is that the naval appropriation has not been twice what it has figured for the past 10 years. EMMA UP AGAINST IT. . The delectable Emma, she of the anarchistic cult, Miss Goldman, erst of Russia and Chicago, seems to be strictly up against the real thing. She is astride of the Canadian American border, so to speak, and dare not fall either way, for fear of swift and sure deportation to the country she dare not show her face in. In the ordinary swing of events we would have an abundant and chivalric interest in the release of a woman from the peril and discom fiture besetting the priestess of Babel and Hades, but this woman is so completely unsexed and discredit ed, that we can, find no sentiment that would serve her in the least; anH will nnt. unless, of course, she ctisii hp suhiprted to anvthine in the way of brutal man-handling. fanarla will not have her: the United States will not have her; her own country cares not a whit for her, save to punish her for her (per haps justifiable) transgression of its peculiar code: and if the officers with whom she is in contract shall do their exact duty, Emma Gold man's career on this continent is at an end. Deportation means death to people of her stripe; or at best, the Siber ian wilderness for life; both of which extremities she has courted unceas inelv and defiantly for years. And, aside from the sole universal protest against the subjection of womankind to these horrors, there are none to care what becomes of her. She has preached the vicious and violent creed of sword and gun and flame all her life; and was not content to preach it among those to whom it actually appealed, and whose revolt has always been condoned the world over; but she brought her vile tenets and preachments into a land that offered her more of human freedom than she 'had ever known and wrought for its disruption and dis organization from the very hour she landed here. The circumstance of her capture on the border-line serves admirably for the setting up of a tremendous lesson to the anarchist in America. It is susceptible of providing an ex ample that will be understood and appreciated by these malcontents. At all events the whole country is hoping that the opportunity will not be wasted, and that, for once, at least, the law of the land will prove paramount THE OUT-SWINGING DOOR. Tens of thousands of precious lives sacrificed to the fool principle of in- swinging doors have at last wrought the lesson of common sense over this country, including Astoria, and they are to be abandoned for the re versed maxim. The doors of the public buildings everywhere are be ing re-hung to avoid the horrible premium our friends and kin have paid on the old traps. Theatres, schools, halls, depots, churches, public and private office buildings, all the common resorts of the people, where the few, and the many, are congregated at any or all time, must meet the new demand of safety. Nothing else will go. No ex cuse will answer for the maiming or killing of a single man, woman or child, hereafter, and the trustees and owners and officers charged with these things had better take the cue now, than the ban of curse and con demnation certain to follow another peril, or another "burnt sacrifice" to our own stupidity and false economy. EDITORIAL SALAD The Indiana Democratic platform says that Mr. Bryan "by force of his cnienHiH intellect, his noble man- hood, his matchless eloquence, his purity of life, has not only become easily the greatest citizen ot the reoublic. but an absolute moral force in the world. iwo iicmuss u produced such grand results that it would be a cosmic crime to deny another. A San Francisco paper is surprised to find that the whole country is now against Asiatic immigration, though the Pacific Coast States were long compelled to make the fight alone. The country has noticed that the op position springs up wherever there is contact. Recent events in British Columbia have been educational. London or Glasgow would flare up just the same if cargoes ot tne Asiatics should begin to move in. Admiral Evans' opinion on armor belts is that "under the sea condi tions in which battles may be fought a belt ot o leet in wium, u ered alone, is too narrow to afford the desired protection wherever it may be placed, so the question be comes an academic discussion, with certain arguments on each side." The admiral is too old a sailor to expect absolute safety in a fighting ship. To raise or lower the armor simply shifts the vulnerability, and naval experts disagree as to where the line should be drawn. BARITE IN GEORGIA.

Tour grocer return! roar Doner if rot don't like it; we pay him SCANDINAVIAN -AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK, 506-508 Commercial St., Astoria, Oregon. ite near Cartersville, Ca. has just been published by the United States Geological Survey as a part of an advance chapter of Bulletin No. 340 which is entitled "Contributions to Economic Geology, 1907." Barite, the sulphate of barium, one of the metallic elements, also called "heavy spar" and barytcs, is used principally as a white pigment, but it is also employed in the manufacture of paper, cloth, and rubber. The barite of the Cartersville re gion is closely associated with certain iron ores, and particularly with ochcr It is called by the miners the "flowers of ochcr," and its presence in the res idual soil of the region has been a means of tracing the ocher deposits. At one place nearly 3 miles south east of Cartersville barite has been mined for at least six months on a rather large scale, more than a thou sand tons valued at about $4000, having been taken out. The Geological 'Survey's report on the deposit was prepared by Dr. C. iW. Hayes, the chief geologist, and Mr. W. C. Phalen, who sketch the geology of the region, discuss briefly the origin of the mineral, and des cribe the deposits now worked and the method of mining. The pamph let containing the report can be had by applying to the Director of the Survey at Washington. D. C. ANNOUNCEMENT.
