MAYORS, PAID, AND UNPAID
Mayor George F. Rogers, one of
the best Oregon mayors, will not
have the municipal honors of Salem
again; unless his people will guaranty
that no salary Viair be voted the of
fice: And Herman Wise, another of
ficer of the same ilk and quality, does
not want the Astoria mayoralty
again,, unless th ere shajl be rational
compensation attached, to it,, in, order
to covet the 1 unavoidable 1 personal
expense incident ito ? it. ' And there
you are!
The fact of the matter is, the peo
ple should make a rule to pay every
roan who serves c them, i no : matter,
wnat tne nature ot tne work. i ne
laborer is worthy of his hire." The
paying, promptly, " of " a reasonable
and compensating salary, puts the
public ' employer and public ' servant
upon an equitable footing, 'and1 leaves
no 'room- for reproach; reniggirig, re
volt or recession on either "hand, and
marks definitely the lines of reliance
..and duty that else might become
hazy. ' ( ' t
' Time, thought, personal' interest,
and 'skilled service, ; especially of a
sort, expected of a public official, arts
worthy just, as much in the popular
sense as in the private relation; un
compensated labor, in all its ' most
tentative aspect,-5 is slavery, even
though it be voluntary; and such con
ditions are foreign to American, prin
ciples of government and , business.
Uncle Sam pays, the States pay, the
Counties pay, and there is no reason
at all whjr cities should not!pay. r The
da'y;o empty ; honors has fled; :We
pay very practically and largely fpr
everything we get; and a good May
or is likely to earn quite as much as
any other 6fficer in- the land; there
fore,' pay him well. " '" J ' ":
Just why one public servant should
receive, entertain, travel,, give time,
thought, study, money and personal
concern to. public affairs, free, while
all' others in the. service' are properly
compensated, '. is one ''.of those in
equities y that . heed ' correctibn; the
more so that we have permitted it ,to
grow and engraft itself upon 'the body
politic all these years. Public spirit
is1 onething to be expected in this
country; but ,!not to' the justification
of public wrong. or' niggardliness.
TAFT AND BRYAN FIRST. '
We of Astoria, with a gopd many
other cities, have Our hands .'full of
politics, 'present and prospective,' and
w'e are 'naturally 'ambitious to mak
the most of the men and policies that
are best '.and nearest to our destiny.
But' with a national, anc a municipal,
election fore-fending we feet that it
were wisest, to pass up 'one; before
w'e tackle, the other and spare our
selves the confusion incident the
mixing of both. To that end we will
devote ourJndiyi,dual interests, , to the
certain election' of Mr. ' Taft to the
Presidency, leaving Mr. Bryan hat
nortion which has always fallen to
him ii ' matters of ' this' ikind.andj
after'' they" are both " logical and j

cherish, and the longer they remain
in office the, plainer, their interested
discrimination becomes; sp plain in
deed' that it were folly to ignore it
any longer. That is what is going to
happen in this man's town. The pco
pie are awakening to the fact that
their affairs, have been ,"run" for
them; that they have not had the ex
act dominion that belonged to them
as a governing and owning body; the
whole country , is alive with the
strange sentiment of taking over
their own and administering it to
suit themselves a bit; and Astoria is
distinctly in the notion. So', while
we are busy with 'Mr; TaftV over
whelming election on the 6th of next
month, we will simply nurse this lit
tle back-thought and bring it into
current employ at the propitious and
timely hour. ' ; - ' ?
f A BUSINESS ISSUES. '
"It is a question of business," said
Mr. Taft!to 'the Nebraska farmers, in
pointing out why " they should vote
for Republican candidates j and poln
cies.in the' cornlngj election. It cert
tainly UK a very serious, question ' of
busineSr,! Jio ;mty fpj'i th farpiers,
but for the; wa'e-earner, tCe Vna'nu
facturer, the ' merchant, 'for everyone
who has anything to buy or sell, in
the form of labor or -if any product

tained or American Industry shall be
handed over to Bryan and his free
trade associates, to" be stripped of
protection, and exposed defenseless
to' European and'6thef foreign5 com-a
petition.
Any American farmer who doubts
that it is a question of business can
settle bis doubts by visiting the lo
cality -where the Red River - of the
North crosses , the. Canadian boun
dary line. Pembina; in Minnesota and
Emerson in the Canadian province of
Manitoba are on . that line, in the
midst of a great wheat-raising re
gion, the two villages named he
side by side. They are equally dist
ant from Liverpool. Accofding to the
Bryan theory that the; ' American
farmer needs no protection, the price
of wheat ought to be the Same in both
villages. But, according to Represen
tative McCleary' of Minnesota, it is
not. The wheat of the farmer who
markets at Pembina ! always brings
more often as much, as 15 to 20
cents a pushel more, than that of the
inarkerts at Emerson.
The reason that the wheat of the
American farmer sold in Pemberton
brings a higher price is that the
farmer on this side' of the line has
the great populous home market of
the United States at' his door !with
ntbre than 80,000,000 of consumers.
The Canadian farmer has no such
nome market and must dispose of his
rheat abroad. The American ' home
market was' created arid is 'maintain
ed by .the Republicati policy of pro
Ijectirfg' American industries,' and also
6f protecting ' the.' American farmer
from . the growing competition of
Canada and Argentinai which, with
protection removed, could poijr.yast
quantities of grain ihto ' ihd ' United
States,' thus, putting a stop' to 'the
prosperity of our American farmers,
and reducing them ' to a hand-to'
mourh r existence.y- ryr ry y TT i

AMUSEMENTS
Eleanor Robson has just returned
from a Summer vacation spent quiet
ly in the Isle oj Wight,' England, and
is making preparations for her com
ing season. George - C Tyler, the
managing director of Liebler & Co.
has purchased four plays ; for Miss
Robson's use during the coming sea
son, and the young star will be seen
first in a drama by Richard Harding
Davis,, to. be called "Vera, the Medi
um," a title that gives a clue to its
nature. One of the big effects to be
introduced, and incidentally .one of
the real novelties as far as the stage
is concerned, will be-a, "materaVza
tion". scene. .The awakened interest
in spiritualism since the work of Sir
Oliver Lodge; Sir William , Crookes,
Charles Richet, and Lombroso has
been enormous, and .it seems fitting
that aplay should have been construc
ted embodying some of, the interest
ing facts. Liebler & Co. have engaged
the services of one of fhe most prom
inent psychists, of New ; YU,(t who
has atterly" conducted any number of
scinetific investigations into the
claims Of spiritualism, to lay out the
scene and materialization scene, and
a famous electric illusionist will stage
the effect.
Nat C. Goodwin, in between the
times of .the fsuit for ,dvorce he is
bringing against his5 wife, Maxine El
liott, on the grounds of desertion, is
out at Reno associating with his gold
mnes.arid the 'character of Cameo
Kirby, the principal character of the
new play he is to appear in this com
ing season, and which has been writ
ten for him by Booth Tarkington and
Harry Leon Wilson, the authors of"
"The Man From Home." The play
goes by the same name as the char

Scenes are laid in New Orleans and
on a plantation some twenty miles

' Dustin Farnum seems to haVe

Arnold Daly got right up in court
the other day and confessed that he
didn't know anything about business;
that' he didn't want to; that he
knew where his money went; that he
sometimes earned a thousand dollars
a,week; that he was invariably broke;
that his family was an expensive one;
that he owned two. suits of, clothes,
and that his brother was a stage elec
trician who couldn't work because he
had such an ungoverriable temper.
