Hearst, for reasons of his own, made certain plain and definite char ges against U. S. Senator Foraker, of Ohio, relative to his intimate and serviceable relations wih the Stand ard Oil trust: Archbold and others of the Oleagenous ilk sprang to the front with the old, familiar, stock de nials and the people would not gag at them, nor swallow them, with the "old customary readiness; therefore, Mr. Foraker retires from the politi cal field where he had been assigned to duty in behalf of the Republican nominee, and this means that he is "shelved" for good and all. The case against him permitted mighty little consideration, and he got it. Mr. Taft and his managers have acted with commendable prompitude and a very proper sense of the action ' due the people of the country in such an ugly emergency and will lose no thing by it The fact that the senior Senator from Ohio has been in more or less questionable odor in this land for the past several years, owing to his bitterness toward Mr Roosevelt and his policies, and the popular con viction that he has always been the champion of the money-rings and huge combines of the country, as aaginst the people, renders the flat and stinging rebuke administered him all the more acceptable to the think ing electorate. We decline to stand for any man who bargains his faith and prestige for the pottage of the hour, be he Re publican,, or what he may, in a parti san sense; the curse of political trea chery has hung like a blankef over the history of the nation, shaming and wronging and defeating the peo ple, until the patience of man is ex hausted, and the quick and effective revulsion that has met this develop ment, pleases everybody and will make for the good of all concerned: And they are many!. THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR Astoria's 1.6P0 boys and girls are back at their studies, refreshed, and eager for the new school year of 1908 1909. It has more significance for them than they realize perhaps, but that will dawn upon them all in time and give impetus to the work and in terest so necessary for their advance ment. Taken as a whole they constitute as bright a group of youngsters as the good old State affords, and being in the best of hands as to principals and teachers, there is no reason to doubt for an instant their complete and pronounced success in the new year. Every year added to their experience in this behalf, is as'coin of the realm in days to come; and this aside' from the consciousness of having made the best use of life's supreme privileges for the gracing and equipping of one's career and making one's self a real factor, in the world of endeavor. very hour of neglect indulged in now, will come home with vivid re minder in days to come when amend ment is altogether too late; just as every hour carefully" nurtured and em ployed now, will simplify and reduce the burdens and the problems of the Jiiture and yield pleasure and reward and all just compensation. IT IS NOT POPULAR. The more the seawall question is in vestigated under its present introduc tion, the more apparent becomes its unpopularity; not that the idea of an improvement of that nature is dis tasteful to the Astoria public (for it is conceded on all sides that the sea wall is among the essential and logi itotorirm. nit fcjj,x,4iii&;;TW !tiL-fe-.

The concensus of opinion is, so far as we have been able to fix it by in quiry, and oy the gratitious expres sion of thos deeply interested, is that the matter may easily be passed up for a year, or for two years, or un til it is demonstrated that more fore thought and work are to be devoted to the leading and important step before-mentioned. Even if the great project might be kept within the scale of cost intisiat- ed by the Council-Charter-Commit-tee, it is too great a sum to be sad dled on the community unless it be under exact and proper auspices; there must be no grave blunders, no over-looking of essentials, no wanton nor ill-considered estimates, in the commission of such large ncgotia tions as these and the people will sec to it that there is not, if a rational study of the situation can save it. There is no use, nor sense, in ex ploiting the biggest and finest of As toria's civic developments, upon ill advised, half-prepared, and inconse quent preliminaries; time must be taken to inform the people of the last detail of preparation and cost and scope; and if those in charge of the movement do not give that time, the people will simply take it Mr. Taft shows now, as always in his career, a good example. In what ever he undertakes he is a worker. The uplift that farmers want first of all is willing workers at fair wages. For several years the demand has been larger than the supply. Whatever may be said of Uncle Joe Cannon, it can not be charged that he is afraid to express his convic tions, nor that he fails to express them vigoiously. A Charleston paper says that $100,000 South Carolina ought to con tribute to the Bryan campaign fund has all been received except $98,000. Somehow the Bryan yell peters out when the hat is passed around. If it is true that the victories of Wellington and Nelson were won on the cricket fields of England, what a lot of incipient glory is piling up in the baseball arena of the United States. Studies of the upper air are going on at many different stations stretch ing from the Arctic Ocean to the equator. Some day science will run down the weather breeding arena and get a fair starting point in the fore casting department. "Now,- what shall we name the baby?" inquired the professor's wife.

The three great problems on the solution of which humanity is bent are the same that perplexed our an cestors the immortality of the soul, perpetual motion and women's hats. Paris Figaro.
