age of their happier doctrines, For
our part, we do not believe in tempo
rizing with the situation for . an in
stant. 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 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.

Persons who indulge in conversa
tion' at a concern should not be of
fended when called zoophytes. 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.
