CLATSOP'S OWN CONCERN.
The new judgeship is peculairly the
concern of Clatsop county, and again,
peculairly, of Astoria, as the largest
segment of that county and the chief
city in 'the Fifth judicial district:
Since it is practically understood fnat
the incumbent of the honor will have
to do with the courts of Clatsop and
Columbia counties.
We do not know whence the judge
will come, when Governor Benson
shall have chosen him; but we be
lieve he should hail from this city
and county for several reasons, chief
of which is that Astoria and Clatsop
pay the heaviest State tax and fur
nish the preponderant share of im
portant litigation that lies in the
purview of the district court- We are ,
at the mouth of the river where there
already exists, and will continue to
accumulate, the largest and gravest
issues at law.
It is absolutely essential that As
torians take a hand in this matter
and strive earnestly for the judge
ship from among the able men of
this city and county, holding always
to the paramount claim that it shall
go to the best equipped man to be
had here; some man of wide experi
ence and cumulative legal wisdom
that will lend assurance of that ca
pacity for the handling of the busi
ness usually expected of a man in
that exalted position.
It is no small affair, this appoint
ment; nor is it a subject for political
peddling or biased patronage: It is
a question that lies at the root of
the largest concerns of the county,
city and district, and as such, is en
titled to the utmost consideration
here and at Salem; and we believe it
will receive that thoughtful care at
the hands of all concerned, because
of the deep significances that attaches
to it in all conceivable ways. The
people's interest in this case is su
preme, at all events.
OUR RESPECTFUL SYMPATHY.
The Morning Astorian, (along with
a host of others) tenders the Astoria
Police oCmmission its most respect
ful sympathy in its acknowledged in
nocuity and its impracticable atti
tude; for its impotency, owing to the
intenseness of its political differen
ces. It is too bad that the welfare of
the city and citizens cannot super
vene to achieve the doing of some
thing in the way of business for
which this commission was ordained
and organized. It must be very an
noying to the gentlemen composing
the commission to realize that it is
one of the standing jokes of the mu
nicipality and that, now, nothing
whatever is expected of it. They are,
severally, excellent men and citizens,
and we believe all want to accomplish
something for the good of Astoria.
But the glint of the political hatchet
gets in their eyes and they afil to see

be immediately reported to the office
the primal solution of the ridiculous
oroblem, the barring of that fool
weapon. No wonder one of the lead
ing commissioners wants to resign;
but knowing that would do no good
in the end, he stays with the hypo
thetical situation and probably will,
until the solution arrives at the be
hest of the people, at the polls, on
the question of doing away, once for
all, with the organization, as a use
less and needless adjunct
TILLAMOOK'S LATEST.
The clumsy, brutal, causeless mur
der of Foreman John Peterson of the
Pacific Railway & Navigation Com
pany, at Tillamook, on Monday night
last, is a pat ringer for the last crime
that Clatsop had to sponsor; with the
very palpable difference that the
murderer was caught red-handed
within 15 miles of his crime and with
in 20 hours of its commission, which
is everlastingly to the credit of Sher
iff Crenshaw, HF that county.
The crime is distinctively common
and brutish, as was the Clifton kill
ing; it was simply the lowest pos
sible expression of the sodden money
lust of an animalistic, lout coupled
with the opportunity for its perpe
tration by a boss whose good nature
led him into the error of permitting
an intimacy with the scoundrel and
which gave him access to the premise.
The victim was an excellent man and
a valuable employe of the Lytic system
and his death is deeply deplored in
that country, and here, where he was
well known and thoroughly respected,
There can be no question that Nord
strom is doomed to the ultimate of
the law, as be has confessed to the
last foul detail of the wanton deed
WING SHOTS.
Around Astoria there seems to be
a pretty general idea that Dr. Fred
Peacock has not had a fair deal in
the trial at Cathlamet; and if this is
50, then the sooner he is granted, and
takes, the high privilege of a change
of venue to Chehalis, or elsewhere,
the better for him and all concerned
Justice is the paramount issue when
the liberty and character of a man
are at stake and every end of the law
should be exhausted in the effort to
give it him. The case is alive with
prejudice, for, and against, and to
the end that this may be utterly elim
inated, the State of Washington owes
Dr. Peacock every chance to attain
to unadulterated justice since that is
all he is asking. This whole commun
ity will await, with profound inter
est, the issue of the matter on the
changed venue, to ascertain, not alone
the doctor's responsibility in the case
but the communal responsibility of
Cathlamet for the alleged miscarriage
of justice there.
There is credible news at hand that
the anti-saloon forces of the State of
Oregon are busily at work organizing
for a State-wide campaign for prohi
bition in 1910; and, by the way, that
is not so far away, when one comes
to think of it.
We commend the doctrine of send
ing the State troops into field ansem
blies along with the federal men-at-arms,
here, and elsewhere, for the
good it does technically, socially and
generally.
We have been given to understand
that the new ordinances just intro
duced in the Common Council for the
further regulation of the saloons of
Astoria, are really amendatory of the
State laws, to give the city wider and
larger grasp on the situation, and to
create a system of penalties that shall
mean something more than the pal
try "$25 fine," imposed by the stat
utes. This being so, there should be
no hesitancy on the part of the Coun-
cilinen in passing the new ordinan
ces, Tuesday morning we rather de
precated the passage of these bills,
owing to our general and genuine dis
gust at the universal neglect and uni
form disobedience that characterizes
the public treatment of all ordinances,
in which we unintentionally included
the meritorious measures introduced

the essentially peaceful and civic char-
actor of the lucomlng president, the In
dustrial and ctvlllan feature of the pa
rade of nest March 4 will be far more
extensive and Imposing than ever be-,
fore.
The program of the Inaugural period
Is divided Into five Important features
and some others of a leaser degree of
Interest first, the Imposing military
division of the pageant which has
been arranged on a big acale by Major
General J. Franklin Pell, who Is grand ,
marshal; second, the civic organisation
division of the parade, with Major
Thomas P. Morgan, chairman of the
committee. In charge as marshal; third.
the greMt display of fireworks ou tbe
White lot. Just In front of the White
House, in combination with the Illu
mination of the streets of Washington
through the downtown section, tbe
dome of the Tnlted States capltol and
the Washington monument, and a drill
and display of pyrotechnics by the Re
publican flambeau club of Minneapo
lis; fourth, the Inaugural ball In the
pension building, the biggest brick
structure In the world: fifth, the fore
noon parade of the American veteran
soldiers mid sailors of the G. A. R.,
the Tutted Spanish War Veterans and
the Army and Navy union, which will
form tbe escort of honor for I'reshlent
Elect Taft and VJee President Elect
Sherman from the White House to the
capltol, where they will take the oath
of office, preceding tbe big parade and
other features.
Sailors snd Marines.
The details of the big military pa-
rade have been worked out by Brlga-
dier General John A. Johnson, chief of
General Bell's staff, assisted by Major
Samuel D. Sturgls, adjutant general,
both regular army officers on duty at
the war do-artnient. Here is tbe In
auguration day program In a nutabell
as prepared by them:
The morning escort of the president
from the . White House to the capltol
at 10 a. m. by the veteran grand divi
sion; the exercises at the capltol on a
stand accommodating 7,000 persona,
concluding with tbe administration of
the oath of office to the president and
his address; the assembly of the mili
tary and grand dlvi.iU n lu tbe streets
south and Foutheast of the civic grand
division in tbe streets west and north
west of the capltol; the afternoon es
cort of the president by the military
and civic ?rand divisions from the
capltol to the White House at the con
clusion of his inaugural address at
about 1:20 p. m.; review of the mili
tary and civic grand dlvlslona by the
president from bis stand in the court
of honor In front of the White House
from about 'i to 6 In tbe afternoon and
tbe diamlKs:U of the parade; tbe dis
play of flrer-orks from 7:30 to 9 p. m.
In the ml'ltary division there will be
about 3,000 sailors and marines from
the bnttlerhlp fleet, fresh from Its
cruise around the world: the famous
Philippine constabulary band, the mid
shipmen and cadets from the acade
mies at Ail 'spoils and West Point
The Joint committee of the two
bouses of congress purposes to make
the ceremonies attending the actual in
auguration of President Taft and Vice
President Sherman as solemn and dig
nified as befits so important an event.
Joy and music and the spirit of festiv
ity will mark the Inaugural parade,
and the scenes along the streets will
be as brilliant aa ever, but In tbe capl
tol and on tbe Inaugural stand erected
on Its east front solemnity and dignity
will dominate. The details are already
perfected, and every official and every
employee understands tbe part he Is to
piny.
Tbe senate will complete the work
of the last session -of tbe Sixtieth con
gress about 10:30 a. ra. on March 4 and
will then take a re'ess so that tbe

so soon to take place. Shortly before

Ball a National Function,
Always a pleasing and picturesque
feature, It Is proposed to make the in
augural ball of lirtiu something more
q great national function of supreme
Interest and significance. It will take
the form of a reception by lYesldent
Taft and Vice President Sherman to
the country nt large. Each state in
the L'nlon will be officially represented
on the floor by one of Its distinguished
sons, whose mission It will be to co
operate officially in the presentation of
the visitors from here, there aua ev
ervwhere to tbe gr, it men of tbe ua-
tion who will be in attendance.
Olst Blair, whose father, Montgom
erv Blair, waa postmaster general In
the cabinet of President Lincoln. Is
chairman of the committee In charge
of the Inaugural ball and baa so plan
ned the event as to bring the entire
TJnlon through the forty-sir states Into
direct and active participation in the
function.
"Washington Is a national city, a
city belonging to tha country," Chair
man Blair said In discussing the Dan
arrangements. "It Is our desire that
ell who come to tbe inauguration and
there promises to be tbe biggest at
tendance in tbe history of these af
fairs-should feel that In coming to
the national capital they are coming to
tnclr own city
"The ball will be essentially and dis
tinctively national. A representative
from each state has been designated
as a member of tbe Inaugural ball
committee. These gentlemen will
know many of the people who come
from their respective states and will
see that they nre properly Introduced
to the statesmen arid their wives and
other distinguished visitors. Thus t
is hoped to bring the forty-six states
Into close touch with the national cap
ital on this memorable occasion."
