"THE KING IS DEAD! "the' King is" Peadl ' Long LJv the King!" v When the successor of an office holder is chosen as a leader for the next campaign, the predecessor must realize and recognize' the : fiat; the dead king must make way for the living one, and do it gracefully, or attract critical comment and suffer in his reputation for astuteness, fair ness!! ' Samuel Elmore has been popularly named for the mayoralty of Astoria and unless all signs fail he will be elected in December by as generous a showing at the polls as was Mr. Wise three years ago when the Re publicans joined heartily in the popu lar movement to make him mayor, in fact, made that movement popular, for no movement can be popular in Astoria that is not supported by Re publicans. ; 1;i,r!" Mayor Wise is happy in being able to retire with all his honors - undis turbed and goes, back to private life and its compensating peace with the abounding good will of his fellow citizens; and what is more he is do ing it without undue participation in -the campaign that retires him. i Al ways thj; sign of the practical poli tician and the good citizen. The fact that he is tentatively at outs with his council, or the too active majority of It, ig altogether to his credit in the administrative, and the political, 1ense;.his recession vill have no stumbling-block, nor cloud to dark en, and he will take with him the .undiscounted honors of B three-year tefffl that has few parallels. tht people, conscious of the fact that he wai retiring, have fixed their good will upon another leading titi zen and have frankly sought him out and done What they may, td date, to tiaitie him for the ornce. samuei w iriore is that man, The choice is con spicuously excellent and altogether promising, and Mr. Elmore is the largest and best feature in the popu lar vision at the moment and will be until the returns are all in, when he ' will become a fixture with which all men must ." reckon for the good of the city. The hope of the commun ity is centered upon him, now; and Republican though he.be, he is no less broad than Mr. Wise, and will orove it if the administrative reins are turned over to him. THE WAY , TO RE-ORGANIZE. For how many years longer are the .Republicans of Astoria to fritter away their normal prestige, their splendid majority, to the caprice of the minority? The condition has be come abnormal, ridiculous and cpw ardly. ' There is but one way to re-organize and unless it is followed the term and type of Republicanism had bet ter drop for good and all. Every manful ; Republican who recognizes himself as sucn, must 1 courageously assert himself and merge wih his fellows to restore the power and function of that party in the , city and stand by-it until its utility and credit are so established as to make it natural 'and .'easy, .to vote the ticket aeain. It is becoming vitally essential that steps be taken in this behalf if the party is ever to be known as a reality here arid responsible for, the uplift of the community. The fact that a Republican -major - vote is subscribing to and supporting Demo cratic plans and people in their work is so ridiculous : as to have at last become painful and shameful. ; We believe here will be distinct and permanent revulsion in the local campaign about to open here, and there was never a better chance to annul the follies of the past and take over the place and prerogative that ASTORIAN. .91.50 Morning Astorian to either residence bypostal .card or through, telephone, be immediately reported to the office ,.,.';''. belones to us. If it is not done there will be deep and lasting regret for the cowardice and self-interest that prevents it. Astoria should be known all over the State as a Re publican stronghold, and it is up to the Republicans to make the "tab" and stick so deeply that the knife will cease td cut their own throats and slash a bit in other di rections until the minority is where all minorities belong. Nor does this mean that our friends of the minority must be ignored or barred; they have their place and influence m all pub' lie OMtters and must often be recog nized and supported in their better presentments; but their leadership must be clipped and the prestige placed in the hands of the over whelminz majority that can, if it will, resume and preserve its com manding and rightful faculties. JUST FOR EXAMPLEt The fine steamship Geo. W. Fen wick, of the Hammond Lumber Co.'s fleet, which went to sea at high noon on Sunday, bound for San Pedro, with practically 2,000,000 feet of lum ber on board, and drawing 18.6 for ward and 26 feet aft, is a case in point wherewith, , to accentuate ,; the facility of Astoria as a quick-des patch port , This vessel entered port and docked at noon on Wednesday last There were but 41 hours de voted to her loading, out of the 96 she was in port, showing that she was not rushed to sea, but took the normal course of dock-procedure. What was done in her case may be done with every vessel that comes to the mouth of the Columbia, either for lumber or grain, and the 214 miles of river-haul and the two es sential days devoted to that haul, in cluding the wage, pilotage, time and interest, might be saved to the own ers; if only the owners f would get out from lindef the hypnotic spell that Portland, has cast or if Portland would shake off her own blinding and fatuous ambition and make this her sub-port, owning, con trolling and building the commerce of the river. Of course, this is all mere piffling stuff, but . we know there is a modicum of gumption in it, despite the hard and fast facts existing, and we cannot help revert- ine to the economic side of ' it, to save ourselvesl What a pennant winner Mr. Bryan would be if his logic equaled his oratorical voice.- i- .

' . BATS AS PETS. A bat in a woman's bed-room can cause more excitement than can otic lone burglar or even a dozen mice. As the strange creature of the night comes flipping and flapping against the walls and ceilings such shrieks are elicited from the terrified female as t? icuse the whole family and bring tfcsm. to the rescue with Voorfis and cans. .All of which is sheer foolishness, for if she would but give him chance the bat Could Prove to her entire satisfaction tnat ne is an in tel'.igeni and amiable Creature "and not unworthy of a permanent place in th..- household.

A College professod days: 4ttn.u T VY ncn was a student at the , oihiversity I had two bats, which Came and Went freely of their own accord. In' the evening they we're wont to 'rush through the window into the neigh boring garden, hunt insects,- and vhen their 'hiiilgfe'r Was "slpp'dased they would return to my room. They slept dh a "bookshelf, where they suspen ded themselves from a dictionary. At the present time I possess a bat that shows a touching attachment to my person and follows me about through the rooms of my house, if I call it." This last statement seems , to be unquestioable testimony in favor of the theory that ,the ear of the bat is not only susceptible to high and shrill sounds, but also for . the lower sounds of the human voice. Recog TOUGH CLIMBING. nizing' that it is called, the creature evidently is able to distinguish dif- erent shades and accents, ,y This advocate of bats as pets fur ther states that when he talks pleas antly to it his present favorite raises and lowers its ears, much after the manner of a horse, blinks its eyes jn contented fashion, licks its nozzle with its tongue, and, in general dis ports itself in a manner that indicates it is oleased and contented. When harshly spoken to, it lays back its ears, shrinks away, and seeks to es cape by climbing up the curtain. The proprietor of this bat adds: "When I sit by lamplight in the morning working at my desk, I can hardly get rid of it. It comes and goes rambling about the desk or climbing up my legs or else it sits on the cur tain' and endeavors by violent shak ings of the head and shrill twitter ing t6 excite my attention and to ob tain worms its usual food thereby. Its appetite is indeed something un canny. Thirty fat worms are readily taken at one meal'Technical World Magazine.
