In advocating this. the Astorian does
not recede from It's policy relative to
strict Sunday observance. II insists
that II the gates OF the fair are closed
on Sunday, so should the doors OF all
saloons and places Of amusement, and
that II is not equitable or just to in
sist on closing the gates and leaving
the vile dens of iniquity open.
There are a large number OF people
who do not recognize Sunday as the
Sabbath day. The Jews ana Seven Day
Adventists recognize Saturday, but no
one ever hears any demand from them
for closing the gates on that day.
They believe that everyone has a
right to worship God according TO the
dictates OF his own conscience, and
that no sect or creed has any right to
dictate to any other sect or creed
what day they shall observe as the
holy Sabbath day. These are old puri-
tanical dogmas. promulgated through
the old Blue Laws of Connecticut,

POLITICAL FALLACY.

! Political suicide Is exemplified in
Clatsop county In the election of two
democrats to the lower house OF the
state Legislature The legislative as
sembly of the stateisalways republican,
and Clatsop county is the only county
in the state of 700 majority that elects
democrats to the Legislature. In the
assignment of committees, where the
most effective work is done, Burns and
Laws are on the tail end Of two un-
important committees. They will have
absolutely no influence in securing leg
islation and can only hold down the
two chairs provided by the state for
representatives from Clatsop county.
In the senate Tuttle is chairman Of
one Of the most important committees
besides being a member of three other
important committees and is the only
man from Clatsop county that is in a
position to secure needed legislation.
With two democrats in the house ne
Is Handicapped, as he can not. secure
any influence from either Burns or
Laws. Both are honorable gentlemen
and desire to serve their constituents,
but democrat in a legislature that Is
overwhelmingly republican is Of about
as much use as SNOWFALL In Gehenna.
1t is about time that the republicans
of Clatsop county realized this fact.
The cry Of ring" and political bosses"
is all tommyrot. The party must have a
head and must be managed, and IL some
OF the republicans would only vote
for the candidates nominated, and not
against the management. Clatsop coun-
ty would have a representation in the
legislature that would be able to ac-
complish beneficial results. At every
session of the legislature where the
representatives have been republican,
Clatsop county exerted as much infiu- |
ence as Multnoman or any other coun-
ty and secured more legislation. Mem
bers are elected to the legislature for
their ability to secure legislation, not
because republicans do not admire |
them personally. If a man is a re-
publican let him be one, or else unite |
with the democratic party. Every |
democrat elected in the city of Astoria |
and Clatsop county is elected by re-
publican votes, but no republican has
ever been elected by democratic votes. |
The democrats are consistent, the re-
publicans are actuated by malice or a |
get even" policy for some imaginary |
grievances. "Ye cannot serve two mas
ters; for either he will hate the one
and love the other; or else ne will
hold to one and despise the other. Ye
cannot serve God and mammon."

CLOSING THE FAIR.

Apropos Of the proposition OF closing
the gates of the Lewis and Clark fair
on Sunday, the following has been re-
ceived on the subject:
with the greatest admiration for
your stand on Sunday observance yet
cannot unqualifiedly indorse the posi-
tion of the Astorian on advocating
keeping the gates of the Lewis and
Clark fair open on Sunday Sunday has
been ordained as a day of rest. the
blessed Master. recognizing the neces-
sity Of setting apart one day as day
Of rest. incorporated in the ten COM
mandments, Remember the Sabbath
day to keep 1t holy Gods command
ments should be obeyed. as they are
higher than the law Of nations"
Either the theological editor of the
Astorian is mistaken. or contributor is.
From slight remembrance Of the ten
commandments inculcated in years
gone by, our understanding was that
the ten commandments were promul-
gated from Mt. Siani by Moses, and
that "the blessed Master" was not ON
earth at that time. That might have
been the law Of Moses, but there has
been a change in sentiment during the
past ten thousand years. Polygamy
was taught and practiced in the day Of
Moses and from this comes the inspira-
ton of the Mormons. The attention Of
subscriber is called to some sayings
of the Blessed Master" which shows
a change Of sentiment and more lib
eral construction of Sunday observ-
ance.
"And he said unto them, the Sabbath
was made for man, and not man for
the Sabbatn."-Mark ii.:27. In other
words that the Sabbath was to be OBJ
served according to the dictates of ones
own conscience, and this is further ex-
emplified in the following:
"One man esteemeth one day above
another: another esteemeth every day
alike. Let each man be fully assured
in his own mind."-Romans xiv.:5. Ac-
cording to this doctrine, Sabbath OBJ
servanec was left to the opinion Of man
himself, without any dictation from
the church Probably the best argu-
ment that can be adduced effecting
the right of some peopel to dictate to
all mankind the same as the advocates
Of closing the gates Of the Lewis and
Clark fair on Sunday are attempting to
do, is embodied in the following:
Let no man, therefore, judge you
in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a
feast day, or a new moon, or a Sabbath |
day."-Colossian n.:6.
"A strict Interpretation of the above
leaves the selection of a feast day, or
what man shall eat or drink, or'what
day he shall observe as Sunday, to the
individual conscience Of the man him
self If there is no harm in running |
the fair ON the six days of the week,
there can be no harm in keeping the
gates open on Sunday but no ma
chinery should be in operation, all
amusements closed, simply using the
fair grounds as park for the educa-
cation and enlightenment of the public |
who desire some place to spend the day. |
They can attend divine worship both
morning and evening, but a continu-
GUS performance at tae church will not
be attended by people wao enjoy the
afternoon, communing with nature,
studying the arts and sciences view
ing the wonderful productions of ma
ture, and discussing the beautiful ex-
hibits displayed.

champion twice in an hour or forfeit

That Gotch is a wrestling marvel is
conceded by New York's sporting fra
ternity. 1t will be Gotch'A debut in
New York and the occasion is looked
upon as one of the biggest sporting
events of the year in the metropolis.
. 1t is generally conceded that he will
have to be at his best to beat Parr,
who is himself a champion. Parr is
the most spectacular wrestler in the
game today and is regarded as a
worthy opponent to the American
champion.

SOME LITTLE DEMAND is SHOWN
FOR BLUESTEM FROM THE
MILLS.
Stocks of Wheat Are Being Steadily
Redueed-Buyers Hold Wheat
in interior Houses.

Locally there is hardly enough of
wheat business to maintain fixed quo
tations, says the West Coast Trade.
Some little demand is shown for blue
stem from the mills, and the fact
that this variety is becoming stead
lily scarcer, tends to produce enhanced
prices. Regular. quotations are main
tanned at one-nalf cent higher than
week ago, at 92hc with club and red
unchanged at S6kc. Stocks of wheat
are being steadily reduced in first
hands and there is at present a small
Ter supply in that position than at
any previous time at this season in
the history of the trade. Buyers hold
a considerable quantity of wheat in
interior warehouses, but the amount
of stock still available, for shipment
is rather indeterminate and largely
overestimated by many current re-
ports,
Reports are current Of crop damage
to fall wheat in some sections of the
Pacific northwest grain belt, but the
extent of possible losses cannot yet
be determined, and the effect upon the
total crop will depend largely upon the
conditions for spring sowing. With
favorable weather the area under
wheat will be sufficiently large to pro-
duce a full harvest. In the country
at large the amount of winter killing is
estimated by Snow to be above the
average but considerably less than last
year, when official estimates placed
1000, 900 to 100000 acres.
