The cult itself is a very cradle for sanity, criminal insanity, and its insiduous spread amplifies the danger hourly. The governments of the coun try must go the utter root of the menace and thrust it into the light of day and popular condemnation with out loss of time- By our inactivity and silence, the creed has been per mitted to seethe and fester until the malevolent sore of its making is too apparent for further inanition. The President is right and the peo ple are squarely behind him! THE WEATHER Oregon, Washington, except near coast Idaho Fair Before the People Cards of Candidates In the Coming Campaign. THE LAW IS FIRST. Law is the first thing we humans learn. From the cradle to the grave it is omnipresent, unescapable, com pelling; natural law, organic law, the codes of the family, the home, society, all are directed unerringly across our paths and for our good. We discriminate among them, resent many, despise a few, and break all we may with any sort of safety. But that safety upon which vc count is an intangible thing; it is but momen tary; every broken law brings its measure of penalty sooner or later, whether we recognize the reprisal or not. There is but one rational course open for the normally decent citizen: Strict obedience to the law!. Illinois has recently cast 1100 of her citizens out of business, the saloon business, because the major number of them would not obey the law of the State in relation to the business; over 800 precincts in 102 counties "went dry," with several other hundreds on the "feather edge," because certain groups refused to live within the statutes as applied to this business; and this did not include the mighty city of Chicago; but it did include dozens of the largest cities and towns of the State outside that metropolis. The lesson is a sharp one, and ought to sink deep in the conscious ness 'of saloon men all over the coun try, Astoria included. The people are behind law; the law is theirs; and the cods is various, it has more than one set of laws; if one set is ignored and treated with contempt, then another is put to motion that obviates dis respect and disobedience of the other, and does the work of negation and ouster completely and leaves the loser absolutely without recourse. The function of enforcing the law lies with the peoples' agents, the shr'evalties, the constabulary, the police, and if they cannot and will not do their duty, then the people must find the next best expedient, which is to put the contumacious, business out of business. They did it in Illinois and there is nothing to stop them from doing it in Astoria. "A word to the wise!".. WE HAVE THE MEN. The establishment of a full com pany of Oregon National Guard in this city, trained to the practice and service required of the coast artillery, is a feasible and rational proposition; we have the men, plenty of them; husky, hearty, quick-witted, and eager for something of the kind ai a varia tion in local side-issues, and a new field for the expenditure of time and faculties otherwise disengaged.. As to the armory end of the matter, that could easily be provided for until the State saw fit to erect its own armory here. The contiguity of the regular forces at Fort Stevens would be an additional source of advantage to such a group of young men here; they could get in touch with the best of the demonstrable rules and facilities wherewith they would be required to equip themselves, and so perfect their work and standing as a unit in the general defensive schemes of the State and Government. We believe that any overtures made from authoritative sources in this regard will be met with friendly eag erness from the young men of Astoria and Clatsop, and that no trouble will be experienced in the early organiza tion of a fine and servicable company of guardsmen here.

A scientist announces that he has found these animals, also mollusks, entirely unresponsive to music. But they take no part in depriving others of the pleasure. j If the word "protection" had oc curred once in that part of the Presi dent's latest message relating to the tariff the Democratic Congressmen who listened to the reading would not have applauded. They will find the word writ large in the Chicago platform, New York has purchased Mount Marcy ,the highest land in the state, paying $8 an acer for the 3500 acres. Before the timber was cut oft the tract was offered for 50 cents an acre, but that was before the State wanted it. Legislatures should look after re serve lands early. : A NATIONAL DUTY, As usual, President Roosevelt has gone about his duty to the people, in the matter of the anarchists, with his accustomed promptitude and vigor. He has roused the various depart ments of the Government to an ac tive pursuit of their respective' func tions, and now he stirred Congress to the utterance of fuller authority of law for dealing swiftly and directly with the evil. Every concievable agency at hand for the regulation and suppression of these people should be put in use, chief; of which is deportation; this is the thing they dread above all others and it saves the necessity of going to greater extremes. Locate them, list them, round them up, and despatch them to the land they hated first, and the spell will be broken so far as the United States is concerned. They will even keep quiet, rather than face such a contingency. ' Some newspapers in this country are appalled at the idea of rousing this element; fearing the reprisals they set afoot against society and the State. This is a far-fetched theory There are comparatively few real an archists in this country, the destruc- tinrtists: and their leaders ' are well known to the police everywhere, or soon will be. The Tolstoian group is larger; but they are not to be counted er. 20 miles through Keystone Canyon, then, owing to the narrow trail, will be sledded to Teikhill. From there to Fairbanks the trail has been broken with double sleds, and the automobile will then run to Fairbanks. It is un certain yet whether the driver will be allowed to sled his machine from Keystone to , Teikhill under the con ditions of the race. AMERICAN CAR.
