A WIDE DIFFERENCE,
We wish to call attention to the ex
traordinary difference between honest
criticism and sheer knocking. There
are those in this man's town who do
not realize the distinction, and thus
failing, are willfully "knocking" the
Astorian for knocking.
' The Morning Astorian is a public
print, charged with the duty of sup
porting, aiding, explaining, publishing,
criticizing, guarding, and differentiat
ng, the facts, public, and quasi-public,
as they arise, exist and effect the
people of this city, county and sec
tion; and that it has the courage, the
capacity and willingness to do this,
frankly and freely, must not be con
strued as a sign of untoward spirit
nor of overt purpose. This work of
analysis is going on constantly, all
men are engaged in it; the only dif
ference in the conduct of it being that
the private individual does his share
under cover of a quiet prerogative,
while the newspaper must deal with
everything from the open and candid
predicate of the PUBLISHED DEC
LARATION; a difference not always
credited to the paper; a responsibility
not always assumed by the private
critic, and one that he can, and does,
frequently repudiate, and which the
newspaper may not depart from by so
much as a hear's-breadth.
The newspaper is compelled, in jus'
tice to the public it represents, to
"gore many an ox," to protest against
many an evil, to interfere with many
a scheme, each and all remote from
Its especial interest and the personal
concern of its proprietors and writers;
and htis very attitude should make
for the conviction that it, is not acting
in a restricted or vicious spirit when
it urges the correction, defeat, or
qualification of public men, and mat
ters. For public men and measures
belong to the public, and that is all
this or any other decent and respon
sible paper stands for.
Take thought before you condemn
the paper that operates as a barrier
between you and public wrong, for
of all public agencies it is entitled to
fair play.
THE PASSING PRESSURE.
Astoria is not the dullest city in
the Northwest!
She is relatively dull, of course; at
this season when politics supervene
and the country itself is dull; when
money, enterprise, improvement, all
are in abeyance, awaiting the verdict
of the nation upon the great policies
that are to govern its destinies, in
cluding its markets, for the next foar
years, but there are places in com
parison with which Astoria is literally
booming and we should hug this con
clusive fact to our commercial bosom
and be glad that our business energies
are elastic enough to carry us over
the season with our business-doors
wide open to trade and the vast ma
jorities of our people at 'work 'at
good wagesv - , .'' ,
We .are not .beset with failures; we
are not suffering from the necessities
of life; we are still busy at our usual
avocations, and in the main we are
getting along famously, With plenty
of courage to tide us over the passing
pressure of reservations and econo
mies incident to the desultory hour
of waiting; this will soon pass and, we
will go at it again, conscious that we

be immediately reported to the office
have maintained our own cleverly and
successfully, and are ready for the
new and opportune freedom that al
ways comes. Astoria is alright!
There are more homes in this city
owned by their occupants than in any
city in the whole Northwest; less im
poverishment and less individual de
pendence than any other city here
about can boast; less idleness, aside
from the viciously idle for whom no
one cares in good times or bad; and
less general incompetency. What more
can we ask in a dull season?.
Shrewd men of business; drummersfr
active, rational, discriminating people
of all kinds, from abroad, say that As
toria is practically the livest city on
the coast, and the business they get
here justifies the frank and friendly
opinions they leave with us. With
such actual conditions to our credit,
we lack only patience in the task of
waiting for the general resumption
that is inevitable. -
TAFT AND LABOR. !
The more labor studies the treat
ment which labor has received at the
hands of William H. Taft, both on
and off the bench the more evident it
becomes to every fair-minded worker
that Judge Taft has not only been just
and impartial in dealing with the in
terests of workingmen but that his
decisions followed as precedents by
other courts have been of Inestimable
value to labor in upholding the right
of railway workers to leave their
employment where they see fit irre
spective of the consent of the em
ployer. It is well known that even in
England where labor possesses more
rights than in any other country of
Europe a different rule prevails and
the crew of a train quitting without
giving several days' notice can be
prosecuted criminally. Some Ameri
can railways sought to maintain a
similar rule but Judge Taft in the
Toledo and Ann Arbor railroad case,
held that the relation of employees
to railway companies is one of free
contract, and is not analogous to that
of seamen in the maritime service
who, to a certain extent, surrender
their liberty in their employment, and
are punishable for desertion. The em
ployment, therefore, in the case of
railway service, was terminable by
either party. The court could not
compel the enforcement of personal
services as against either the employ
er or the employed, against the will
of either.
It was this decision which prompted
the head of one of the railway labor
organizations, a few days ago, to
write to Mr. Taft that at St. Louis
in a subsequent 'railway controversy
the railway employees had found "you
had laid down there the Magna Char-
ta upon which we could depend for
the protection of our rights." ... -v
Labor can always depend upon .Mr.
Taft fo rthe protection of its rights,
both because he is in sympathy with
labor, and because if is his nature to
do right by every citizen, and to see,
as far as in his power lies, that no one
is wronged.
the election of Mr. Taft to the
Presidency will in itself be a Magna
Charta upon which every American
can depend for; equitable, ''just and
generous treatment by the chosen
head of the government.
