Votes and subscriptions are rolling into the contest department of the Astorian in greater numbers than at any time since the contest was started.

By the, former measure they proposed to abolish a peculiarly use ful weapon of the courts which had been in operation in England and the United States for centuries, and which has, averted vast injury to per son and property,-By their Sherman Law amendment they availed the United States Supreme Court for de claring that the American Federation of Labor was a trust in the plain meaning .of the Sherman Act, and be cause the court set forth that the labor thrust was amenable to' all the penalties of that statute, just like the industrial, the commercial and all the other sorts of trusts. The outlook for the country is bright. All the threatened destruction legislation is defea'ed. Much con structive legislation of a high cur rency, has been enacted. If the pres ent dominant party carries the coun try in 1908 we shall, in an extra ses sion of Congress next spring, have an adjustment of the tariff which will bring the schedules down to date, and remove the shades from every in dustry. Financial confidence is re turning. All the indications say that a new era of prosperity will soon open for the country. American Industries. greeting is one of full fellowship. "The first thing I noticed in Wash ington was that this custom was not universal, and that it did not obtan in the capital. Every hand that was extended to me was one expressing doubt, suxpivion, and an unspoken but unmistakable demand that if I amounted to anything I would have to prove it. In my country we accept a man and prove him afterwards. In Wathington a man proves himself and i accepted afterwards. Many a new congressman has left the pres ence of Secretary Locb in the belief that with all hi artlc experienct there are degrees of cold which Peary has never known." WHAT AILS HIM? ed, sneaking, unscrupulous politicians! bers of that order into the display of ROOSEVELT'S GOOD NAME Compare the pitiable human be ings who have collapsed from expos ure curing the last two years with the superb figure in the White House. But yesterday those men stood on a level with Mr. Roosevelt in popular esteem; to-day they are despised of all men. Xo power can ever restore them to their former influence. They have discredited themselves, and are dead .o the American people. The trruble with these men who went down so quickly in the public esteem surat e officials, railroad men, bank ers, financiers. They were playing a false part. Mr. Roosevelt early resolved that, let what would come, whether he succeeded in what he undertook or failed, whether he made friends or enemies, he would not take chances with h;s good name: that he would part with everything else first, that he would never gamble with his repu tation, that he would keep his record clean, His first ambition was to stand for something, to be a man. Before he was as politician or any thing else the man must come first. In his early career he had many was r'at they were not men. before opp- rtunities to make a great deal of they were congressmen, senators in- money by allying himself with crook- lie had all sorts of opportunities for political ' graft. But crookedness never had any attraction for him. He refused to be a party to any political jobbery, any underhand business. He preferred to lose any position he was seeking, to let somebody else have it, if he must get smirched in getting it. He would not touch a dollar, place or preferment unless it came to him clean, with no trace of jobbery on it. Politicans who had an "axe to grind" knew it was of np use to try to bribe him or to influence him with promise of patronage, 'money, position, or power. Mr. Roosevelt knew perfect ly weil that he would make many mis takes and' many enemies, but he' re solved to carry himself in such a way that even his enemies should at least respect him for his honesty of pur pose, and for his straightfoarward, "square-deal" method. He resolved to keep his record clean, his name white, . at. all hazards. Everything else seemed unimportant in compari son. SuccessMagazine, an arrogance toward their employers which would ilisturb every great act ivity, would destroy all hope o the revival of financial confidence this year, and which would give a cala mitous setback to. the country's trade. The circumstance that the country was on the eve of a canvass which would elect a President, a House of Representatives and legislatures which would choose a third of the members of the Senate, gave the labor union chiefs a particularly powerful incentive for their crusade. CHILLY FOR NEW MEMBER "I came to Congress representing a country which is new; where there arc no old roads, no old towns, no old families. Out -there we follow no method to-day merely because some one followed it yesterday. We cut across the open praries, each man taking his own course with the joy of initiative made up half of indepen dence and half of impeachment of. the judgement of the man in the wagon ahead of him. We do not keep in the rut. In owf activity to keep out of it, possibly we go to the other extreme, for the new merchant in my town is likely to draw all the 'trade for a while, the new music teacher to get all the pupils, and the new lawyer to be rated truly marvelous before he has tried a single case. In my coun try we accept a stranger with enthusi astic warmth upon the community. Diagnosis of a Failure Case F.go-mania. Money fever. A "swelled head." Afophy from inaction. Opportunity blindness. ' 1 Enlargmcnt of the ego. Jaundice from jealousy. Astigmatism of judgement. Paralysis from irresolution. Ossification of tire cerebrum. Indigestion of a college course. Chills, affecting the enthusiasm. Asphyxiation of moral principle. Chronic inflammation of temper. Intoxication from a little success. Plethora of words and paucity of im.as. .Blood-poisoning, from vicious amusements. Apoplexy brought on by "quick lunch" and "must-catch-my-train," ' THE FUNERAL CAME TO LATE Billy Martin, aged four, came to his mother and in great ecstasy ex claimed: "Oh, 'mother! Louise and Carherry found such a nice dead cat, and they are going to have a funeral, and can I go?" Permission was given, and when Billy returned he wasqucs tioncd as to the outcome of the fun eral. "They did not have it at all." . "And why not?" "Mother," was ( the answer, "the cat was too dead." The hand we extend to him at first 60 cents a month. - Subscribe for the Morning Astorian. THE SITUATION Regardless altogether of the causes of the money scarce of last October and November, and of the industrial reverse which came to the country as a consequence, these conditions were aggravated by the program of vicious legislation which was put forward by the leaders of the labor unions. Their demand for laws in the special interest of their very small serious menace to industry and busi ness of all- sorts. By- setting- up a favored order in the community the members of the labor unions this legislation would encourage the mem- Grand Prize, Reo Automobile, to be Given Away by MORNING ASTORIAN in Popular Contest.
