THE EARTH A BABY.

Mother Earth" is a misnomer. Dr.
Thomas c. Chamberlin, head of the de-
partment of geology at the University Of
Chicago, expresses the view that the
earth is still in its infancy. The earth
will endure lOO0OOOOO years more, the
professor told the members of the geo.
graphic society at the Municipal Museum
in Chicago. "We cannot look with in
difference on the future" he said. "The
human race really has just come into
possession of the earth. The fact that
the rocks and the animals have had their
eras of prosperity is the basis for my
belief that we shall have millions of
years to work out our ideals of intellec.
tuality. I believe the world will be in
habitied for millions of years."
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1906-06-30
UNJUST AND POPULAR

The strike of the coast sailors is an
unjust, and therefore, wholly unpopular
measure. and we believe it is going to
fail utterly simply because it should.
As class of workers, the seamen in
the Pacific Coast service, at $45.00 per
month and overtime, are among the best
paid of all the tradesmen out here, the
average of their earnings being overtime
included, 500 per month, with housing
and board, to boot, which means Sl30 to
$l40 per month, wage very few brain
workers and skilled office men are get
ting for work immensely more valuable.
And the fact that the cooks and walters
of the coasting fleets are standing pat
for the raise of $500, is another dubious
and irreconcilable fact that operates
against the sailors and their claim. These
men are not able to render any more nor
any better service if their wages should
be increased as they demand, and they
could not, if they would, give anything
in return for the extra money. The
strike is untimely and ties up the labor
of thousands of men entirely innocent of
ary injustice to the seamen and wholly
beyond the area Of their field of work,
except by indirection, and it is tying up
industries that stand for millions of
active capital and fro mwhich they draw
the very income of their own lives. They
are not overworked, nor underfed, nor
lily housed; they have nothing, except
greed, to plead in this venture, and the
people are getting thoroughly next to
the situation and the better they under
stand, the less sympathy and goodwill
they have for the strikers. 1t is case
where the employment of any kind of
substitute labor is absolutely justified,
japanese, Chinese, or Malay, and the
shipping firms are in it with the bit in
their teeth" and the general sympathy
Of the coast people.

ANOTHER CRISIS.

That day is barren indeed that does
not furnish a Russian crisis. Now there
is a real one at hand, and the emperor,
and his court, are actually frightened,
because their sole reliance heretofore,
the army, is being rapidly disintegrated
by parliamentary influence, and cannot
be relied on another hour. This is the
meat in the Russian cocoanut. The
safety of all things imperial and dynas-
tic are mere bubbles for the bursting
minus the terrific and unquestioning
power of "the army" Well, there is no
very wide sympathy for the Romanoffs
anywhere in the world, just now; not
near SO much as there will be after they
have been butted out their empty, digni.
ties and despoiled of their revenues
wrought from the blood and killing toll
Of the millions that are frantic for
emancipation. II Is the old, old story,
only the enormous scope Of the country
involved lends II emphasis, and makes
the issues Of liberty the glpnder the
world over "ghe King Il Dead Long

TALK Is DANGEROUS.

Did you ever notice that talk doesn't
hurt man much? Perfection isn't
looked for in a man, and when some
one tries to injure a man by ranting
about few faults he has, the absent
one, who is probably attending to his
own affairs, is elevated in the hearers
estimation, while the informant is low
cred accordingly. If a man knocks
along, doing fairly well, people realize
that while he has some faults, he has
more virtues and they are charitable
enough to overlook these faults. But it
is different with a girl or woman. No
matter how good and pure a woman
may be, let someone start an Infamous
lie about her and everyone is willing to
pass it along. and there is always some
one to believe it. That lie can never
be lived down. 1t may burn low but
the gossip-loving are ready with new
fuel. Did you ever think how damnably
mean some goody-good people are in
this respect?

ROOSEvELT'S DECLINA
TION.

! There is one grave possibility con-
fronting the republicans of this country,
namely, the absolute refusal of Theo-
dore Roosevelt to accept the nomination
for the presidency again. The gravity
of the situation would be the straits to
which the party would be put TO supply
the vacancy; for never in the history of
the republican party has such condi'
ition of real dearth of material that
in any way approNimates the strength
and popularity Of this man existed. He
has been so unique and so compelling
a factor in the current history OF the
nation; so large, 50 resourceful. so sue
cessful leader and doer of things; so
clean and manly and honest in the
doing of his work, that most men, who
might be named as his successor, would
lose caste in the contrast that would be
invoked. And he will be sorely needed,
for the lesser mans election will be the
signal for the renewed encroachments OF
the legion of enemies of the common
people in the hope of undoing the vital
things he has wrought. And it may as
well be said in passing, that the defeat
of the republican party. at this juncture
of its immense and recent successes,
means defeat of inevitably long dura-
tion and corresponding opportunity for
the up.lift Of the opposition and for its
rehabilitation and popularity, Every
influence available must be brought to
bear to gain Mr.. Roosevelt's consent to
take the office again.

PLUCKY ASTORIA.

Ii Astoria, by push, and prayer, and
other potentailities' is not to succeed in
getting anything done for the temporary
deepening of the Columbia river bar, so
be it! She has enough to attend to
beside. She can fix up her charter; build
that new hotel; lay her plans for ac-
eomplishing the seawall; renew her
streets; put up the new opera house
help in the construction of the interur.
ban to Seaside; pull off the best regatta
on record; and do other pending and
proper things, that will equip her all the
more, for demanding, and getting, those
that must be had from the outside. She
is independent, in a lareg sense, and
spunky, as well; two qualifications that
mean success always.
