Man Eating wild Men.

In the celebrated "Trayailcs" Of Ed
ward Webb tl59W are dozens OF stories
that would make Munchausen turn
green with envy, One OF the most celo-
brated OF these Is his story Of the wild
men of prester John, which Is as fol
laws:
"in the court of Prester Iohn there :
n wilde man and another In the high
street Of Constantinopie whose allow

The HIGH LICENSE QUESTION.

The argument is put forward by some
good citizens and well meaning men
that a high license tax on the liquor
traffic would engender monopoly aud
perhaps increase the price Of beer, the
poor mans drink.
Others, whose right to be described
as good citizens is somewhat open to
doubt. oppose the high license project
on the ground that it would be poIit-
fcal death to those who make them
selves responsible for It, They de
clare that the keepers Of the dives
where he'll broth is sold for whisky
viii knife every man who seeks Of
fee in the municipality who supports
high license.
The argument that high license
would tend TO create a monopoly is
easily disposed of, The sum of $500
a year for the privilege of selling Ii
quor is not exorbitant. 1t would,
however. prevent the establishment OF
saloons by irresponsible persons. and
would extermnate the dens where
poison is sold as liquor and where
vice and crime are fostered. High
license is an effective means Of
regulation, and the regulation of
the liquor traffic is one of the
Chiefest duties of municipal govern
ment There is not much danger that
the number OF saloons in Tucson
would be less than dozen II the
Buehman ordinance became law,
and with dozen saloons in a town Of
600 inhabitants We think competi-
ton can be depended upon to regulate
prices.
The argument-if such it can be
dignified-that it would be bad poll
tics" Is an insult to the members CT
the council The power of the dive
Keepers in politics is now very
limited. If a high license tax is put
on saloons it Will put the dive keepers
oDt OF business and they will have no
political pull at all DO the couu-
cilmen, who are politically ambitions,
prefer to be subject to the blackmal
and intimidation Of the dive keepers,
or 10 abolish the fear altogether by
removing the species? If they are
kept in existence they will always be
menace, If they are wiped out by
high license that viii be the end of
them.
We do not think any member of t1o
'ity council can be Influenced by in
limitation. We DO not believe that any
one will try to make a political Issue
out Of most necessary and essential
municipal reform But If anv of our
municipal statesman attempt TO
play poltics' by catering to the
dive keepers. the decent people Of the
town should hasten to invite the issue

CORONATION or EDWARD.

Today King Edward Will return from
his yacht to his capital. Five weeks
ago the British sovereign lay at the
point Of death. Now. thanks TO the
skill OF his surgeons, his recovery is
apparently assured. The coronation
ceremonies next Saturday will be ON
n modest scale. Whitelaw Reid and
his knee breeches won't be there
The big fleet which assembled in June
off Spithead has long ago dispersed
Many of the London decorations have
been torn down. There will be little
of the grand pageantry which had been
arranged for the coronation in June.
Most Of the stands erected for spec
tators have been demolished and the
thrifty Britons who were paid in ad-
vance for seats are now debating
whether they are morally and legally
bound to return the money to those
who bought privileges of which they
were unable to avail themselves
Some stand-owners who were heavily
insured take high moral ground on
the mOoted question. and announce
their intention Ia return the money TO
those who bought seats Other stand
owners are less squeamjsh. They Will
not refund unless they are COMPEL I'd
10 do 50 by law. They have organized
a protective association and are filing
columns in the London newspapers
with denunciations of their sordid
countrymen who insist upon having
their money returned.
The date set for the coronation has
displeased the proprietors of seaside
hotels. and they are literally wailing
and gnashng their teeth at the thought
of prospective losses. OF course, when
the King is crowned, everybody with
and pretentions to social Importance
will go to London That will hurt
the summer resorts In the British
isles. and the hotel keepers are pro-
testing angrily against the kings pro-
gram.
It seems impossible for the SOW
ereign Of the British empire to please
all his subjects in the matter Of the
coronation. Millions of them grum-
bjed when he fen sick and postponed
the ceremony. Many Of them are
now angry because he is to be crowned
on Saturday. Really. the coronation
seems 10 be more Of commercial
transaction than great state event.

THE ANNUAL REGATTA.

The people OF Astoria perhaps do not
realize what continuance OF the an
nuai regatta means 10 the public, not
only IN financial sense, but also In
the light Of an advertisement The
Astoria regattas have achieved an al
most worldwide reputation. the result
being that the city has earned and
deserved Prestige for enterprise that
cannot be calculated In dollars and
cents. Aside from all sordld motives
Of gain, the City Of Astoria has estab-
llshed a reputation as center OF ath-
ietlc sports that cannot be gainsayed
or counted out. All obligations and
promises OF the Regatta Club have
been fulfilled TO the very letter and
no shadow OF dishonest pledges has
ever come home to the management
Of the regatta,
In view OF all these practical facts,
there should be no hesitancy Of / he
public spirited citizens of Astoria in
giving the coming event their greatest
and most enthusiastic support. II will
be energy and capital well repaid and
rebound TO the glory and welfare Of
| the city.
The Board OF Trade and Push Club
of the city are hand In glove with the
moveemnt and when prominent clti-
gems volunteer TO sacrifice their own
interests In an endeayor to promote
the general welfare OF the public, 1t
is time for all classes to chime In to
