She has had all she requires, for the present at least, of experimen tal administration, especially in the matter of street improvements, and indeed far more than she realizes, for the end of that issue is still remote and dubious. She needs a police de partment with plenty of stiff and agressive vertebrae behind it; she needs to have her water department let absolutely alone in the 'pursuit of its present safe and non-partisan work and ends; her fire department is in excellent hands, and condition, and must not be tampered with; her fi nances require new and conservative handling that shall impose something beside the bi-annual permission of the Legislature to advance her public debt limit to meet the excesses of the in terim since its last concession; she needs business treatment; not to cure any desperate or radical ills or evils, but to save her from that limit, to ward which she is drifting rapidly. She is in no condition for reckless ex penditures. AH this outside of politics!. Politics has no saving tendencies that we know of; on the contrary it is a direct and undevtating path to graft and oth er compromising expedients. What it wanted is a course of real business direction; a sensible and responsible oversight of public men and affairs, by those trained to honest and conservative methods; who have proven their judgment by private and personal achievement; and who have the interests of the community at heart, without the impediments of selfish pursuit, correlated ties and di vided duties. She has gone the length of political direction; has had all she wants of it; and is ready for plain, practical people and, courses in the handling of her revenues and rights; jind it does not matter very much who the men shail be to give her these Sunday Excursions to Long Beach.

Harriman, the man who has-been, with more or less apptitude, called the "champion bottler" in the railway world, should be the first to really make use of the specific ad vantages here. We care not who shall do this thing, so it be done.!, - The Mother of Presidents is begin- ABATE THE IMPROVEMENTS. Now that the two greatest and cost liest of Astoria's street improvement projects have resulted in practical in utility and engendered certain ground for complaint and radical action at law, it were well to abate the range of such work and confine it to the simpler orbit of essential repair and minor development; holding it down to the few blocks at a time, and doing even that with closer supervision as to materials, plans, and character of work. We do not", as a rule, advise retroac tive policies in public affairs; but when progress becomes mis-directed and unproductive of desired results, we have no hesitancy in counselling mo deration, and even cessation, in order that the city may be spared the ulti mate of failure and the unescapable burden of fruitless costs. It is a course of procedure that can be taken up at any time, when the rules and plans and needs are better devised and the chances for actual and profitable issues are more sure 'and certain than they seem to be at pre sent. Build and improve steadily just where these things are plainly needed, and let the greater work await the more propitious moment and wiser planning so indispensable to their real fruition. things, nor what party any of them stand for in general terms; So long! ing to sit up and take notice again 8s the city, has the benefit, of their good sense and cleanly methods, she can afford to ignore local politics within her administrative area and in fluence; that can be exerted on other ideals and people. ''Business is business," municipally, as well as commercially!. At a meeting of Cuffey Democrats in Pennsylvania the surest way to raise a laugh is to ask: "Shall the peo ple rule?" The world moves when a Republi can candidate for the presidency com mands a large and attentive audience on the soil of Old. Virginia. The British claim that their new battle ship Indomitable has a speed of twenty-eight knots an hour. Another other big drop will take place in the record if she can prove it. It is always best to attend to poli tical duties. A St. Louis voter who faield to go to the polls at the recent state primary finds that his name was voted three times by repeaters. Best Treatment For a Burn. If for no other reason, Chamber lain's Salve should be kept in every household on account of its great value in the treatment of burns. It allays the pain almost instantly, and unless the injury is a severe one, heals the parts without leaving a scar. This salve is also unequaled for chap ped hands, sore nhpples and diseases of the skin. Price, 25 cents. For sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists. COFFEE Why do we drink zo much poor coffee?

F Mr. Bryan should be elected and should invite the vice presi dent to sit as a member of the cabinet, the fact would be accomplished if the latter accepted the invitation. NO LEGIS LATION WOULD BE REQUIRED. In fact, no legisla tion could require the president to receive the vice president as a member of his cabinet, and no legislation could compel the vice presi dent to serve as a member of the cabinet It could only be accom plished by the voluntary action of both the president and the vice president. . The president can invite the vice president to sit at his council board if he wishes to do so, and the vice president coulcT accept or decline at will. It is scarcely possible, however, that such an invitation will ever be extended to a vice president or that any vice president would accept the invitation if tendered. IT WOULD BE NOT ONLY A STEP DOWN, BUT MANY STEPS DOWN, for a vice president to become a member of the president's cabinet. From the vice president, a constitutional officer, the president of the senate and standing next in succession to the president of the United States it is a far cry to a seat in a cabinet, the members of which, as such, have literally no power save that approved by the president, who can, furthermore, at any moment remove any one of them upon any whim or caprice. I THINK IT UNFORTUNATE THAT UNDER OUR 8Y8TEM THE CABINET HA8 NOT GREATER POWER 'AND THE PRESIDENT LES8. BUT THE FACT IS A8 I HAVE 8TATED IT. Aside from the consideration, mentioned, the constitutional duties of the vice president in presiding over the senate are' engrossing during the sessions of congress, and he would have no time to attend cabinet meetings or to attend to other duties devolving upon cabinet officers. THE OFFICE OF VICE PRE8IDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS ONE OF GREAT DIGNITY AND IMPORTANCE, AND NO ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS ARE NEEDED TO MAKE IT MORE 80.
