them. We do not uphold or condemn
their course. We at his distance can
only look to the results and deplore that
such a body of staunch democrats
should deem it necessary to do as they
AVE done
The first proceeding of the convention
was to appoint a committee to confer
with the democratic executive commit
tee for the purpose of settling the diff
ferences if possible.
The convention decided 10 hold a
county convention next Saturday, the
delegates to which are to be selected by
primaries held in the meantime. This
convention is to nominate a county
ticket.
Thus the matter Glands One side
says NJ democrat shall vote at his
party's primaries un:ess he takes an
oath TO support the ticket. Che expla-
nation that it means he will not bolt the
ticket amounts to the SAME thing.)
The other side, claiming to be as good
democrats, oppose the oath-taking and
say if the differences cannot be settled
they will hold a convention under the
old style of primaries inc nominate d
county ticket.
We are afraid neither side will yield.
If this be so we will sec a Split in the
heretofore staunch democracy of Neck
lenburg, than which there never has
been a more loyal democracy in the
state.
II the protestants should nominate a
ticket they place themselves in the at
titude of opposition to the regular or
g~anization of their party; trey cannot
get around the fact that they have
kicked out of the party traces. The
main question is have they sufficient
cause for such action? Would it not
be better to stay within the party and
submit to their alleged unjust treat
ment? This is a question for them to
decide. No matter how much the dem
ocrats of the state outside OF
burg may deplore the state of affairs
in that county it is noS .or them to de-
nounce or criticise. The Mecklenburg
democracy is competent to manage its
own affairs n We nave an abiding
faith in the good sense, conservatism
and loyalty to party Of the men who
compose it and look to them to work
out their own salvation. We do not be-
lieve that this county VIII be lost to the
party, and we are sure his unfortunate
party dispute will do much toward put
ting down ring rule III the party and
establishing a more conservative man
ner of conducting parry affairs In many
of the counties.

The Virginia-Pllot has severely con-
demned the anarchistic lawlessness at
Paterson. At the same time it realizes
that the most dangerous lawbreakers
of the country, and they who are large
ly responsible for the growing disre-
spect for the law, are not guilty Of
crimes of violence but of crimes of cum
ming. For example, no less a parsonage
than President Roosevelt has set the
country an example of law breaking.
Though the Constitution. say explicit
ly, as everybody. knows. that all en-
voys, ambassadors, etc, sent to for
eign countries. must nave their ap-
pointments ratified by the senate,
Roosevelt named Whitelaw Reid spe-
cial envoy to the coronation and sent
him abroad without consulting the
senate at all. When the august presi-
dent of the country sets the example
of deliberately disregarding the Con-
stitution that he has sworn to support,
Is it a matter for special wonder If
citizens in b heat Of passion trample
the law under their feet? II an official
can contemptuously ignore and brush
aside the law, why not the citizen?-

Some admirers of the Hon.. Richard
Olney invited him to come to Memphis,
Tenn, recently to participate in a
meeting they intended holding at
which a club was to be formed for
bringing him out as a presidential can
didate. Mr.. Olney declines the invita-
ton, giving the following reasons for
so doing:
mot being a candidate for the presi-
dency, I cannot of course encourage
the formation of the proposed club. For
the same reason and because my APP
pearance at Memphis in answer to the
invitation would inevitably be miscon-
strued into a desire to be a candidate,
in spite of all disclaimers. I must ask
to be excused from delivering the adj
dress in question"

EASY FOR HIGH SCHOOL
WON AT FOOTBALL BY A
SCORE or Fl TO o.
Light Team Put Up Remarkable
Game Yesterday Against
Columbia University.

BY q score Of 2f TO 0, the Astoria
high school eleven yesterday defeated
the Columbia university team Of
Portland. There was never time in
the game when the visitors had the
slightest chance 10 score against their
lighter, but more active, opponents.
The home team put up a remarkably
fine quality Of 1all and richly deserved
the sweeping victory which came to It,
The work Of Flavel, Wood and little
Jumbo" Holmes was the feature Of
the contest. Seldom, indeed, has more
exceptional playing been seen in light
teams, and the big crowd that thronged
the srandstand and surged to and fro
along the side lines yelled itself hoarse
In praise OF the three men named
stine. Mayo. Mathena. Barker. Camp
bell, Hill. Wright and Kimball were
likewise there with the goods and con-
tribuied their full share to the defeat
Of tie visitors.
The Portland men got in on the noon
train. accompanied ny crowd Of en-
thusiasts, They were all big fellows,
averaging 10 or Is pounds more th&n
the Astorians and their appearance en-
the streets caused decided drop in AS
toria's hopes. The impression prevail
ed that the game would be very much
one-sided, and for time there was a
feeling that some Of the Columbia
team OF this city should be pressed in
to service. in order to even UP mat
ters. Rut the high school lineup was
not altered. and subsequent develop
ments proved the wisdom Of the course.
The crowd was out early, and when
Dan Allen blew his whistle for game
fully 1000 people we're in the grounds.
Astoria kicked off to Portland and
lost the ball on the Visitors 29-yard
line. A punt into Astoria's territory
gave the home team possession of the
pigskin, and by linebucks and end runs
they forced back the university aggre-
cation. Both teams resorted to punt
ing at this stage. the ball going from
Portland's 3'0-yard line to Astoria's so
ward line. Then Astoria commenced a
series Of maneuvers that was destined
TO net the first score Gradually the
home men forced back their opponents.
