Of course we dont know who is to be elected President; but we all have our hopes and guesses and con victions, and it is up to us, the, peo ple, to say what and whom we want; this is our busy day, the biggest busi ness, as good Americans, we have to transast; it means more to us than anything we shall do for another four years and we must go about it with a sense of its, gravity and do, severally, what we believe to be best in a national sense. Naturally, we look" for the over whelming election of William How ard Taft, because he has been prac tically, successfully, masterfully, honorably, . before the people of the land for years, an an ddministrative way; demonstrating the splendid ability required at his hands in the event of his selection to the great post. There is nothing to discount in his case; he is a man so fit for the place, so thoroughly adapted by training, experience and profound knowledge of public affairs, that ev ery vote cast for him is safe and wise and wholly expedient from every de mand of honest citizenship. "Be careful how you vote." Clark, Young's River, and Young's Bay, lying idle, barren, unprofitable, alone with others nearer Astoria s business center. WHAT?. . DIVIDENDS AND CRUMBS. The two poles of the modern world of business as represented by capital and labor, are DIVIDENDS and CRUMBS. There is no use in apportioning these; the coroprations take care of that: But we cannot help indicating the vast divergency in the polaric elements, just at the moment the national conscience is to be aroused to the choosing of the man whom the corporations really fear, or the man whom they went to see elected. Of course no one man nor administration is going to even up, or leaven the huge discrepancy, but it may be well to take all the steps we can toward the inevitable adjust ment of this evil; and the election of Taft means the second step in the scheme of redemption. A GAME SCHEDULED WITH UPPERTOWN TEAM NEXT SATURDAY AFTERNOON The Astoria High School football team, which came back from it week's trip in the valley covered with laurels, .will play a game Saturday -on the home grounds with .the r Upper town team the "Owapunpuns."

Some - of - the - single BUSINESS, OR OTHERWISE?. 1 he people of Astoria are going up against some very significant problems during the next 45 days; chief of which is, whether they are to continue the program of piling up extraordinary civic costs, taxes and charges to the point of municipal bankruptcy and utter'j derogation of property values, in order to bolster a ring of exploiters' who have had things their own way for three years past; who have milked the city to its very "strippings" and whose partic ular business has occupied the com mon council and the official agencies of the city to the almost conmplete exclusion of every other department of public concern; or whether they Intend to bring this element within the radius of business construction and control and reduce the enor mous and confiscatory burdens that are, piling up hourly. We intend to show the home-owners and tax-peyers of Astoria just where they are going to get off if the present course is pursued; who is responsible for the impending col lapse; what they are bearing in the way of needless and disturbing bills; and how to escape further entangle ment in the web. If their interest and taxes and assessment! and current charges are of any concern to them, there will be some interesting facts and figures submitted Vduring the coming campaign rA 'they make what, use they ee.fit of them. ,- , Congressman Tawney agrees with Col. Goethals that the Panama Canal will be ready to open in 1915 and that its cost will be about $256,000,000. The big job, under a competent ad ministration, moves along in the best possible shape. Mr. Bryan's new campaign treas urer formerly opposed him and said to his paper: "Bryan's strenuous ac tivity will hasten his annihilation." As the party may "be annihilaed first his critic has taken refuge on the war chest. It is reported that Mr. Bryan has an' offer of $12,000 a year from a pa per to be its editor after the election. As Mr. Bryan received $52,500 from his lecture manager last year he will hardly accept without a roving com mission proviso.

COMEDY QUARTETTE IN "MA'S NEW HUSBAND" POLICE PETIfl IS NOT FILED WERE INSUFFICIENT NUMBER OF NAMES ON THE BILL TO HAVE IT FILED. The police commission bill, pro posing an amendment to the city charter to do away with this body as an independent and elective one, is lost. It was not filed yesterday, and now the time for filing has gone by. Yesterday afternoon the petition was submitted to the city auditor for the purpose of checking over the 251 names contained on the petition. ' It was ascertained that of the 251 names contained on the petition. It was ascertained that of the 251 names nearly 100 had not registered at the election two years ago, and therefore were not eligible to sign on a petition proposing a charter amendment. There were some forty names lacking the' requisite number. Those who had .the petition in charge at once "threw up their hands" when the shortage was dis covered and, it Is said, no attempt was made to get the required forty names. There was ample time, ap parently, from 2 o'clock in the after noon until midnight, but nothing was done and the petition stood in effective, " The failure to have this petition filed will prove a matter of much re gret to many.

Corbctt will be seen as a star in the highly suc cessful comedy entitled , "Facing the Music," in which Henry E. Dixey appeared for several months at the Madison Square Theatre in New York .and at Powers Theatre in Chi cago. This play is likely to afford M!r, Corbett the opportunity his legion of friends have hoped he might have of demonstrating his ability to portray a comedy role of strength during the action of a three act play. Mr. Corbett has the per sonality so essential in this field of endeavor, and his experience gained in other plays should equip him for stardom in legitimate, comedy. A strong supporting company and ade quate production have been provided by Mr. H. H. Frazee, under whose direction Mr. Corbett's tour will be conducted. , If You Are Over Fifty Read This Most people past middle-age suf fer from kidney and bladder disor ders which Foley's Kidney Remedy would cure.
