The Morning Astorian feels itself justified, on unimpeachable authority, this morning in nuking the broad declaration that neither Mayor-elect A. M. Smith, nor Police Commission er W. C Logan, are committed to an open-town policy. Both gentlemen have expressed themselves unqual fiedlv as in favor of police regulation and holding the city at its present status on this score. This is good news to many people who have had more or less reason to draw other conclusions in both these grave mat ten The source of our information is of such a character as to leave the situation at this pass, until one or both have signified their programs personally, either through these col umns or other, agencies at their hand. It means much to Astoria to know this. It is a matter that lies close to the public conscience, and this announcement is made in the faith that sanctions it disturbing. By arousing public opin ion to the srrave political dangers arising from monopolistic and corpo ration abuses President Roosevelt did his country an inestimable service the value of which will be infinitely more appreciated in the future than at present The dose he adminis tered was a bitter one, but the pa tient needed it. The period for agt tation, however, is now over; Mr. Roosevelt has done the work for which he was best fitted, and the work of crystalliiing an awakened public opinion into intelligent and eouitable legislation regarding corpo rations must soon be begun. It should be left to the judicious action of con gress, aided as far as practicable by the tactful Mr. Taft, who stands pledged to the Roosevelt policies of reform." CLEWS ON ROOSEVELT. Commenting upon the present bus iness situation in the country, Henry Clews, the veteran banker, pays a high tribute to the work that has been done and to the results that have been achieved by the Roosevelt administration. Mr. Clews is one of the financiers of the country whose opinion is valued highly; his opinions are formed conservatively and are not often expressed enthusiastically; yet this review of the Roosevelt work is that of an appreciative critic: " ""; "Congress opens, fortunately, with much less apprehension than usuaL President Roosevelt will of course adhere to his well known policies re garding corporations, but as this will be his last message, and as he has but three more months in office his utterances are not likely to be 136 YEARS AGO. It was on December 10, 1672, that the first postal service was establish ed between Boston and New York; a mail was dispatched once a month and the round-trip of the messenger was a matter of weeks. As time eoes. it was not so very long ago that the first mail carrier started on this route: Europe was old then and across the ocean 1672 does not seem as remote as it does with us. But measured by the development that has taken place in this country dur ing the years that have elapsed since that postal service was -inaugurated, it is a long time. Our nation has been born and has grown to occupy a place amongst the foremost powers of the earth. Contrast this first mail service with our present postal facili ties and you realize how great our growth and development have been. It is the most remarkable m history. The best feature of the develop ment of the conservation plan is the fact that everybody is becoming eager to help.

He says that for two whole months the hangman, "who la aa fit to treat the case as an ass is to play the lyre," had the case In hand, and the doctor was not asked for advice, and. although the ense went steadily from bad to worse, the executlouer received a fee of 200 rlgsdalers and a large iivmp oMet-"rcwards." sav the doc tor plaintively, "which the greatest among us would not have received bad ke succeeded In curing the prince according to the rules of nrt."
