BRYAN?
William H. 1 aft, of Ohio, is President-elect
of the United States by a
superb majority; and the country
pauses to ask if it has heard the last
of Bryan as a Democratic candidate?,
The query is put more from sheer
weariness than any other motive, and
this is quite ample and wholly justi
fiable; but the sooner an answer is
given, especially in the affirmative,
the better for all hands, Mr. Bryan
included.
The "great Commoner" has been
"trun down" three times, emphatical
ly and cheerfully, but there is no sort
of assurance that he will stay down
so long as there is a big enough
group of Democrats to hold him up
. in public and partisan view, : his
talking machine" works ". smoothly
and his personal vanity does not
balk at a fourth freeze-out.
He is an infinitely weaker man to
ady, than ever he was after any of
his previous defeats; he is absolutely
without a rallying cry, his best theo
ries are repudiated, and he is prac
tically divested of what commanding
influence he ever possessed; the re
cent campaign has , proven conclu
sively that he" was not the real and
rational choice of his party; that had
there been a man of parts at hand
in the nominating days of the en
gagement with whom the big minor-;
ity of the national Democracy might
have rallied the Bryanites away from
their broken idol, he would never
have been heard of in 1908, save aa
a campaigner for the man who had
succeeded him in the affections of
his people.
We hope the country is through
with him as a perennial presidential
impossibility. The Democracy must
have something newer, fresher, more
interesting that Mr. Bryan; even the
lecture-field is, or will soon be, out
worn with him; and there are some
sues a man must take, and act on, if
he will not become detestable alto
gether. ;

There are several ways of looking
upon public improvements in As

cepted theory that they are always
good, and among these views we may
quote the following: Regarding an
improvement . as a mere vehicle for
giving work, skilled and unskilled,
to a certain percentage of our people,
irrespective of the nature of the
plans, specifications, engineering,
bidding, bidders, costs, and manner
of execution: And regarding the same
public venture as a genuine business
proposition applicable to a host of
people whose concern therein pre
cedes that of even the workingman,
the contracting-trust, and the Boss!.
WANTED: TRUST-BUSTERS I.
Astoria is waking fast to the reali
zation that she is in the hands of a
group of local trusts that are .sweat
ing her to a condition of semi-paralysis;
that her people need nothing
so badly as a strong-handed, honest
hearted set of trust-busters in the
commercial and political walks of
life and action hereabout As a rule
Astorians are the most patient peo
ple in the country, and their com
placency has led them into a state
of unresisting lassitude that has made
for them easy conquest the, exploit
ers now in the mercantile "and civic
saddles. There is a notable and novel
spirit abroad just now that will make
itself felt within the next 40 days to
the disconfiture of some of the rank
er of these agencies; and it will be
high time!.

IT'S A GOOD THING TO REFER
to the reputation of a store before
making any important purchases
therein. Before you buy is the time
to look up the matter. Ask questions.
Find out if the store you intend pa
tronizing keeps its pledges. Be sure
that you learn if it sells the qualities
it claims; if it treats- ts customers
honestly and fairly, then, if satisfied,
buy there. Do all the asking you
wish about us among your friends,
and that you will result in your com-
fng here regularly.
