Commissioner Garfield made his
report on the beef trust and sue
ceeded in giving the packers good
certificates Of character. There
are many things that are known to
exist by shippers of stock that this
report fails to explain. It is re-
membered that the post office de-
partment was investigated on va
rious occasions, and pronounced
0. K. until finally the right man
got after it and dug up a mass Of
corruption. It might be we'll to
let some one else try his hand at
the beef trust, who wouldn't rely
entirely on the balance sheets as
presented by packing house com
panies.

The rescript issued by the czar
of Russia, in which he agrees to
convene an assembly Of represent
atiyes elected by the people, is too
vague and indefinite to furnish
much satisfaction to the people
who are demanding a voice in the
government. Every promise has
a string attached, but even if the
promises were all fulfilled they
would amount to very little as the
assembly is to have no vote, not
even an assurance that they will be
permitted to freely express their
views without fear Of punishment.
II is o mere temporlzing move
similar to that tried upon the Japs,
and it may prove equally as disas-
trous.

The capitol building bill passed
appropriating $15O,OO0 to be ex-
pended on the erection of a build
ing during the next two years, pro-
vided that amount can be secured
from the sale of state lands set
apart for that purpose. There is
now $4,000 in the capitol build
ing fund, but no money can be
used for that purpose from the
general fund.
A new law regulating caucuses
was passed. The primaries of all
political parties are to be held at
the same time. The polls of the
caucuses are to be open from 8 to
$3.50 p. M, and the voting is done
by secret ballot. The votes are
counted by a precinct committee
elected by the voters of the pre-
cinct. Any person may challenge
a voter, and when so challenged
the voter must subscribe to an oath
that he is a qualified voter, and
that at the last election he voted
for a majority of the candidates of
the party that he then wishes to
support. the law also provides
that any county may adopt the di-
rect primary system of making
nominations if it desires.
The bill establishing a twine
plant at the state penitentiary was
passed to become operative in case
the voters of the state at the next
election vote to levy a special as
sessment Of Il mills to establish
and operate the plant.
A law was enacted requiring per-
sons operating an automobile to
procure a state license, and also
regula ting the speed at which the

Funeral Next Week.

A typographical error in Sunday
mornings Astorian made the headini
OF Herman Wise's reader read "A Big
Ruse." when 1t should nave read "A
Big Rush." Everyone VINO knows Her
man Wise and his manner of doinr
business knows that when he starts
in a sale, 1t means big rush. and the
present sale is no exception to the
rule. II required the efforts OF ever1
clerk In the store TO attend to the Gus
toners. but everyone was waited on
promptly. and were more than pleased
with the bargains they secured. These
sales are conducted on strictly busi-
ness principles, and deceit Is not prac.
ticed or allowed. When Mr.. Wise ad.
vertises anything he does just as he
advertises and lives up to the very let
ter OF inducements offered. He Is not
in business for day or a month, bu'
has been In business for 25 years ana
expects to be in business for rs years
longer. Wise ought TO be rich, and
he would be were II not for the fact
that he divides his profits among his
customers and the people Of Astoria
and Clatsop county in contributing lib
orally to all public enterprises. He ha'
contributed more money to build up AS
toria and its industries than all the
other merchants combined. and this Is
no "ruse." II Is a fact, which every
one In Astoria well knows. Wise l

OF the man who made the mistake will
