Aermaid's Christmas


Way down in some deep ocean place
There lived a little mermaid fam.
She had q roguish. smiling face.
Lovely blue eyes and golden hair.
An mesmaids. as you know. are clever:
But this one was the smartest ever.
She'd turn out many a dainty dish.
A sponge-cake of sponge she'd make.
And Jelly Of a jeilyfish.
The ocean-current she thought tasty
For making currant jam o. pastry.
She was a merry, madcap child.
As on a sea-horse fierce and Wild
Reckless she rode DER reefs and rocks.
On sometimes. on a gate-post pefchin' +,
Talked with a ragged young sea urchin.
Her home vas IN a coral cave.
She slept upou the ocean bed,
A sheet of water o'er her spread:
And on a white, foam-crested billOw
Rested her fair head. for a pillow.

REFORM LEGISLATION.

A large number Of bills have been
introduced in the Legislature designated
as reform measures, many Of which
have no merit, but represent the alb
ortive efforts Of a certain element i'm
bued with the idea that all reforms
can be accomplished through legisla-
tive enactments. Bills have been in
troduced prohibiting the sale Of Gig
arettes. The law would be good one
IL 1t could be enforced. The whipping
post law has been introduced but lies
quietly sleeping the sleep Of the just
in the hands of the committee. Several
bills have been introduced to prohibit
gambling, some make gambling a
felony and others make 1t misde-
meanor. The statute books Of Ore
gon are burdened with useless legisla-
ton. Nearly every crime In the cate.
logue Is prohibited with adequate pun
ishment, the trouble is many Of them
are never enforced
A bill has been introduced making
gambling a felony 1t is identical with
the present gambling law, with the ex-
ception that shaking dice is included
as gambling. 1t makes gambling a
felony instead Of misdemeanor. There
is absolutely no use for the passage OF
such law. 1t will not be any more
strictly enforced than are the present
gambling laws. II public opinion Ii

PROPOSALS FOR PEACE.

"Out OF the confusion and riot ex-
tending from st. Petersburg through
out the Russian empire comes the
vague rumor of early peace proposals
to Japan" says the Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune. Wall street, wnich
manages to keep in mysterious but
confidential touch with the strongest
financial pulse beats Of nations, has
heard II and does not disayow its
faith. On the contrary. some consid-
erable measure Of credence is given
to the report. 1t would not be strange
indeed if Russia were to deem this
an appropriate time and internecine
reasons adequate for a move toward
the REIMBURSEMENT of ner Asiatic
spoils to her small but stubborn foe."
Curious reports of strategems in con-
nection with the Russian disturbances,
Of governmental plots inciting riot in
order to provide the excuse for suing
for peace with Japan. are hardly to be
believed. Such a proceeding would
be dangerous to the last degree under
the cars autocratic repressive gov
ernment. It can be easily believed,
however, that Russia would be willing
to terminate struggle in which she
has already consumed her immediate
available resources, without gaining a
single advantage. Not possessed of a
capable feet, Russia has only one hope
Of victory, and that is driving Japan
back through Manchuria by the road
through which sne entered. Obviously,
Kuropatkin's army is unable to do
this, and may even find it extremely
difficult to maintain its present posi-
ton when active operations are re-
sumed. Whence, then, are the i'm
mense reinforcements required to be
drafted? With the spread Of the anti
war feeling, with suppressed riots
smouldering in all the centers Of popu-
lation and the spirit of unrest extend
ing into the villages, it would be difflN
cult to call the reserves to the colors
and dangerous to further deplete the
garrisons.
Russia has lost the respect Of nearly
every nation on the globe. She is re-
garded as a country whose word Is
given never ts keep. She mas broken
every agreement she ever entered into.
For this reason she is in constant
trouble with other nations. The car
is emperor in name only. The govern
ment is run by gang Of licentious,
gambling princes who have no respect
for the common laborer or the poor
peasant. No government in which
the people have no voice will ever be
popular or successful. Restraint and
burdens Of taxation are bound to as
sert themselves and though the gov
ernment may be able to quell mobs, il
engenders a deep seated hatred for the
government and no respect for the flag

HOME INDUSTRIES.

The Astorian has always advocateu
patronixing home industries. 10 re
alixes the fact, that nearly all OF the
money sent To Portland for the pur-
chase OF supplies, Is sent out by the
women OF Astoria, whose husbands are
lin business. The efforts OF news
paper to advocate patronixing home
Industries are unavailing In face OF
these facts. Those who go to Portland
TO do their trading are In a great
measure identified with many of the
social functions of Astoria. They ex-
pect Astoria people to patronixe their
entertainments. and frequently ask for
reduction In prices from those who
furnish music, but when they give an
entertainment they frequently send to
Portland for their music. This Is not
treating the people OF Astoria with due
consideration. and opens the door fol
excuses to trade In Portland. When
one branch OF industry Is not patron
ICED at home. but people send to Port
land for supplies that can be pur-
chased at home. II gives other people
an excuse for doing likewise.
In another column is a communica-
ton from one OF the Astoria musicians
com planning OF a local organization
sending to Portland for music. II the
complaint made Is true there is no
possible excuse for their actions
Patronizing home industries means not
only patronizing the merchants, but
patronizing all local organizations who
live here and spend their money here,
Astoria has a first-ciass band and a
first class orchestra. Many times they
have volunteered their services for any
public enterprise free. and II Ia nc
more than right when their services
are needed for entertainments and
balls that they should be given the
preference over Portland orchestrai
or music.

the state. II he has no clerk. hts office
must remain closed. Fishermen apply
for fish licenses ami there is no one
to issue them. II is impossible for the
warden to do all the work incumbent
upon him without clerical assistance,
Even member of the legislature cam
not perform his duties without a clerk,
and he is provided with one. There is
no business in the state of the mag
lnitude and Importance of the fish busi-
ness that is not given clerk. and some
times several are employed.
The hand of Frank Seufert OF The
Dalles appears in the defeat OF the
bill. He Is opposed to any fish leg
islation that does not allow him to
violate the law on the upper Column
hia. He is prejudiced against the low
er Columbia and is willing to sacrifice
the industry to accomplish his evil
and narrow minded designs. He is a
professional lobbyist at Salem and in all
his years residence in Oregon has never
contributed one effort or one dollar to
stimulate and foster the industry. He
is selfish and narrow minded. but
seems TO WELD a certain influence
among members of the legislature that
are not acquainted with his methods.
lit is a safe criterion for the legislature
to follow. to pass any measure that
Seufert opposes and TO defeat any
measure that he espouses. BY doing
so the fishing industry will be bene
fitted.
Clatsop county is practically without
representation In the house. There are
two democrats there. but they voted
against house bill No. lat. possibly
from personal enmity. Clatsop county
cannot expect to secure any fish leg
islation when II has no representation
! in the lower house. 1t needs men there
who are acquainted with Frank Seu-
fert and who can tell the members who
he Is. 1t needs men that are more in
terested In the fishing industry than
they are in passing charters to per-
petuate the democratic party in power
| in Astoria
1t does not make any difference who
is master fish warden. but as Clatsop
county is the headquarters Of the in
dustry, the master fish warden should
be resident of Astoria, but the DEM
ocratic representatives would prefer to
lgive it to a sheep herder In Eastern
lOregon, who is democrat, rather than
give it to republican from his own
county, simply because he is a re-
publican. It is just such animosity
that creates an antagonism in the leg
islation against the county and SER
iously impairs the efficiency Of the
master FISH warden's work and Injuries
the industry. The representatives from
Clatsop county should represent the
industries Of the county, instead Of
pet democratic local measures. 1t Is
the second largest industy in the state
and if Clatsop county's representatives
will not work for 1t, 1t cannot be ex.
pected that other counties will take VI
the fight for a republican county that
sends democrats to the legislature.
