FROM THE PRIMARIES. Monday's primaries present some very suggestive results that need to be appreciated and remembered oy the Republicans of Astoria; and which must serve to nerve the major party in this city to the honest rec tarnation of its own on the 9th of next month, when the city election shall determine the fate, once for all. of Republicanism in this city, and for many years to come. Among the most conspicuous "signs deriveable from the primary vote, light as it was on both tickets, is that Samuel Elmore and every Republi can candidate on the ticket were sharply and clearly more popular than the Democratic nominees. .Mr. Smith fell far short of anything like a popular, expression of Democratic choice;, indeed, hi nomination, rela tively, is away in arrears of the nor mal vote of his party; with this poor showing, and the beggarly tribute paid him by the late, unlamented "Citizens'" convention, which he owned, 'controlled and baldly appro priated, personally, and.- in person, leave him lined up for the municipal race with but little to arouse the honest pride of himself or his fol- lowing. Another lesson to be learned from the vote of Monday is the absolute certainty wherewith - Republican As toria may now take over all that be longs to it, if it will but cherish its privilege and assert its prerogative; there is no reason why it should lay down every time A. M. Smith tells it to "roll over!." The strong, health ful showing of Monday tells a story of Republican disgust at the long imposition thrust on the community, and is the first sheer sign of rebel lion against it For he is the idol of the "open town" element, however little he may appreciate the equivo cal honor (and however little he may desire the office of mayor, now that it will not carry with it the supreme . control of the police department). It is tip to the thinking, , independent, pnbiddable, - Republican voters to break down the rule of bossism in this city and have their affairs car ried on minus the intervention of an interested chief to whom politics is more than ordained, orderly proced ure, and ring-domination the better part of municipal administration. This is the attitude of all bosses and disagreeable as it may be, it adheres, with indisputable appropriateness, to the clever gentleman in question. It has been pleaded for (and even by), Mr. Smith; that his prominence, in this relation was compulsory; forced upon him by similar conditions that "existed within the Republican party here in days gone by; and granting the exact justice of such a plea, it may not prevail to perpetuate a state of affairs, as bad, if not worse, tan-1 der HIS manipulation.

And besides, bossism has become a stench in the nostrils of the people and an insult to civic intelligence, , OUR FISHERIES. When the Supreme Court of the United States shall have rendered is decisions in the Nelson case, and in the 1 Oregon-Washington-river-boundary case, the matter of the salmon fisheries , on the upper and lower Columbia river will be cleared to an extent that will give the States in interest, a better opportunity to come together for the common good of the industry. This is our hope. The adverse conditions now beset ting it arise directly from the insidu ous curse of human greed and the exclusion of every scientific and prescriptive course that would natur ally govern it, at the behest of that greed. It is the old, old story of the saperttnpending dollar, to ; which everything, good, and bad, gives way under the proper pressure. Frank Senfert, the arch instigator and champion of the fish wheel, the coarsest, clumsiest, savagest fish killing device known to man, is not fighting to defend the hideous con trapation; he knows its murderous faculty better than anyone else in either state; he is fighting for his dividends and profits and emolu ments, gathered from this egg-and- spawn eating thing, while there are still enough salmon of marketable size running to compensate him for the cheap maintenance of the brutal tiling. He is not in the propagating business; be is not posing as a scientist, with the future of the fish, fishers, or fisheries in mind; that is a small matter with him, compared with the nimble dollar heading his way from the sacrificial wheel Perhaps the great tribunal of the country, oblivious of the dollar, will see, and say, things, that shall spare a magnificent industry to a people who value it and who would hand it down to their children intact and prosperous.

Copyrighted, 1908. by Amoelat) Utsrsry prat. When It has boeu "Sam" and "Kitty from babyhood it ti rather difficult to pass suddenly to (he "Mr, Hastings' and "Ml Norwood- stage. Both Sum and Kitty felt the strain, thongh each took mental obligation to do nothing that In any way might be construed Into an overture of friendship. It had all started Innocently euongh Kitty on her way to the poultice en couuteruHl Jim Saunders. 8he regarded Saunders as a persistent pest, but she could not rery well refoso hit sugges tion that they stop In at the drug store and have a glass of soda. Then It happened that they turned Into Bekllng street In animated eon venation, and Sam could not know they had mot Just around the corner. Of all the summer visitors to Au bumrtlle Sam disliked Saunders the most, and Kitty knew It It looked to htm aa though she had deliberately ac cepted Saunders' attention to punish him for a trivial quarrel of the Bhjht before. Kitty was Just finishing the last tiny lump of Ice cream from the bottom of the tall glass when Sam entered the store with Belle Paulding, Kitty's dearest enemy. lie had bowed stiffly In salutation. and Kitty had responded with a "Good morning, Mr. Hastings," emphasizing the name as sweetly and as coldly a the frozen delicacy she had Just con nmed. That had been the atari; of the trou Ue, but the end had been atow In com ing. That afternoon Kitty went mo toring with Sancders, though she bated motor ears, and Belle went bossy riding with Sam to punish Saunders for bis Imagined disloyalty. Saunders and Mum Paulding had quickly patched their quarrel up. but Kitty was unyielding, and there waa a squareness to Sam's chin that did not argue In favor of pliability of person allty. With ceremonious politeness each trove to show the other how little rt mattered, but Kitty cried herself to sleep nlsht after night and Sam swore softly, but fervently, at what be was pleased to term the foolishness of wo mankind. So matters stood when the excnrslon of the Aebdrnrllle cornet band was announced. The boys needed new uni forms, and Dick Potts bad promised to learn the euphonium If they would bay him one. All public spirited citizens purchased tickets. Sam bought two through force of habit and then viciously tore them up, whereby the band profited another CO cents, for 8am waa de termined to go on that excursion If only to show that he could go without Kitty. He had never gone on an excursion alone save once, wiien Kitty was pending a week with ber aunt over In Cadyvtile, and be had had a miserable time. Now he did not look for enjoy ment but Kitty needn't think be could not go alone If be wanted to. Much the same sentiment animated Kitty, though she arranged to go with a married sister, and it so happened that they passed over the gangplank together, with the formal greeting that was now customary. ; .' The picnic was held on Paddle Is land, out In the lake, a favorite picnic ground. A narrow strip of land con nected two rough oval extremities tbnt by an abuse of the imagination might be said to resemble a paddle. Bobby Beaton, who was In the primary class, aptly, If Improperly, described It aa "a peninsula with an Island at each end." As soon as lunch was disposed of the elders settled themselves near the baskets, while the young folk wander ed off to either end of the Island, fol lowed by a fusillade of Injunctions to hurry back- the moment the first whis tle sounded. Sam and Kitty followed suit but Sam made certain that Kitty was headed for the southern blade of the paddle before he started north. It was dreary work sitting all alone on the point and presently the fresh air and the soft bed of pine needles combined to bring sleep to the worried brain. It seemed to Sam that he bad en Joyed only a brief nnp, but by the time be had. bunted up the cabin some of the boys had built for use In the duck season and had . borrowed the bathing trunks be found there he was In the cool water a few minutes when the warning whistle blew. Madly he dashed from the water Into the but to find that In that brief In terval some one bod "chawed" bis clothes. His underwear was as full of knots as a snake that bad been lunching off a full set of pool balls, bis trousers were tied Into a true lov er's knot that suggested anything but sentiment, and the luces of bis shoes offered a good ten minutes of unpick ing. Sam wns still surveying the dan ago when the second whistle 'Hounded. "Blow, durn ye.'" he fried H;iv,t;:H." as he attacked the kint.i. "If j-oti can't wait for a fellow I'll sr.vlm for it I'm not golu' to uinhe inv ricp-lm hi this."

"Una the boat goiief she cried In despair, "I started up to qwVkly that I wrenched my ankle. I culled for help, but uo one seemed to hoar." "I was at the other end of the Is land,", explained Sam, who eeined to think that the reproach wsi directed against him. "1 took a nap and didn't realise bow long I slept. I took a swim after that, and tome kUU chawed my ckrthee. I Just got hero my sol f. They'll miss us nt the dock and tend back for us.

He helped Iter to a rook and caw fully ent away the shoe. Then with the sleeves of bis shirt he Improvised a bandage that brought relief and noted with satisfaction that the sprain seemed to be slight, sine there was little swelling. "That will bare to do until we can get to town," he said as be rose to his feet "Does It feel any easier, Miss Norwood T "Very moch, thank you, Mr. Has tings." Sam gritted bis teeth and mentally assured himself that when a fellow takea the trouble to bind np girl's ankle and sacrifices his very newest and handsomest shirt for bandage the least aha might do would be to call him Sum," at of old. no moved stiff ly away and took a seat on a bowlder behind her. If she waa lonesome she could call him. But Kitty, though she was dreadful ly lonesome and a little bit afraid, was too proud to calk Even the faint scent of tobacco that now and then drifted past her on some vagrant breeze was comforting, since It was an Indication of Sam's presence, bnt sbe would not speak. Sam gloomily regarded her eloquent shoulders nnd longed to take her In his arms and comfort her, but he assured htmself that It was ber place to make the overture. It looked as though the deadlock would continue unbroken when the serpent entered this lone some Eden. It wns only a tiny gartersnake scarce ly twelve Inches long, and It was hurrying away from the human In truders aa rapidly as possible when Sam spied it With a long switch he turned Its course and headed It past the rock vhcre Kitty wss sitting. The rustling In the grass caught her attention, and, looking down, she spied the wriggling length of green. With a shrill scream of "8a mf she straggled to ber feet and tho next In stant was sobbing In her terror, with her arms about his neck. With cruel Ingratitude Sam dispatch ed his benefactor and lifted the girl hi his arms. "We'll go sit on the dock, Kitty," be suggested. "There are no snake there. Pretty soon. If help doesn't come, I'll swim over to shore and get small boat somewhere. "Some one will come, 6am," she de clared. "Anyhow, It's nice here for while." You bet It Is, Kitty," assented Sam aa the girl crept close to the protecting circle of his arm. Then In a torrent of words they bad their explanation. It cleared the air wonderfully, and presently Kitty pat ted the band that clasped ber waist "You say you didn't like to take Belle riding," sbe whispered, "Just as though yon had all the trouble. I bet you wouldn't like It any better to let Mr. Saunders pretend to make love to you. - , . 'No, I wouldn't" assented Sam hon eUy aa be bent his head to claim an other kiss. "Kitty, Tm sorry I killed that snake." "But It was a snake," explained Kit ty, as though that were sufficient res son, even though It waa very nice for snake, . . Oldn't Lose Any Sloep. Jenner, the famous English phy sician, was essentially a strong and elf reliant man. He attended the prince consort through his fatal Illness, be was the Prince of Wales doctor when the heir to the British throne had so narrow an escape in 1872, and be also went to Darmstadt and re mained In attendance upon the Prin cess Alice till the died. To practice medicine la "the fierce light that beats upon a throne" Is not calculated to lessen the physician's anxieties, and one who knew Jenner well once ques tioned him on this point and hinted that bis responsibilities must some times be sufficient to render sleep or rest Impossible. "Sleep," replied Jenner In bis char acteristic way. "I don't think that anxiety about a patient ever kept me awake five minutes In my life. I go to bedsldo. I do my best What more can I do? Why should I not sleep? Hamlet's Bowl of Gruel. George Melville, an old English ac tor, was fond of tolling a funny story at his own expense. He wait acting Hamlet In Bristol. It was the actor's rule to take a bowl of gruel In tho course of the evening, and his land lady sent over tho usual refreshment from the lodgings in Queen square. Sbe happened to have a "new" serv ant girl, who was explicitly directed to get to the stage door by the en trance from Bank street and then ear-, ry the gruel Into the greenroom. Sb arrived at a moment when Mr. Mel ville was "an," Being unused to the ways of th theater, she asked a man at the wings where Mr. Melvlllo was. "There," said the super, pointing to the stage. - - ; - ; t The actor was In the middle of the soliloquy "To be or not to be" . when the girl advanced toward him, bearing the bowl, and said, "If you please, Mr. Melville, sir, here Is your gnwl."
