THE COMMISSION FIRST.

President Roosevelt has named spec
ial commission of three eminent and ex-
cellent men. Messrs. Murray, Knox and
Neill, all department leaders at the ma.
tional capital, to proceed to Goldfeld and
investigate the actual conditions of af.
fairs there and report to him. This com
mission should have preceded the federal
troops, since the rule governing most OF
Mr.. Rooseyelt's commissions in such cases
has been that they 60 forth with more or
less executive authority to compass the
peaceful adjustment of the matters un-
der investigation when that function
proves available; and it may be that the
present emisarries may be in time to 50
influence the situation as to bring about
the contemporaneous departure Of both
federal groups without any more serious
to record than the formal and morally
effective presence of both. The country
is weary of these excitements and will
be glad of quiet issue from the Gold.
field squabbles.

THE vERMIN IN THE DARK.
BY Edwin Markham.
Written for the Meeting OF The Civic
Forum, December II. 1907

In storied Venice. down whose ripping
streets
The stars so hurrying, and the white
moon beats.
Stood the great Bell Tower. fronting seas
and skies
Fronting the ages. drawing all mems
eyes;
Rooted like Teneritre, aloft and proud,
faunting the lightning tearing the flying
cloud.
1t marked the hours for Venice: all men
said
Time cannot reach to bow that lofty
head
Time that shall touch all else with ruin,
Forbear to make this shaft confess its
dust.
Yet all the while, in secret, without
sound,
The fat worms gnawed ne timbers un-
derground
The twisting worm whose epoch is an
hour,
Governed its way into the mighty tower;
And suddenly it shook, it swayed, it
broke,
And fell in darkening thunder at one
stroke.
The strong shaft, with an angel on the
crown,
Fell running; thousand years went
down!
And SO / fear, my country, not the hand
That shall hurl night and whirlwind on
the land:
| fear not Titan Traitors, who shall rise
10 stride like Broken shadows on our
skies:
These We can face in open fight, with.
stand
With reddening rampant and the sworded
hand
| fear the vermin that shall undermine
Senate and citadel and school and shrine
The Worm OF Greed, the fatted Worm
of Ease,
And all the crawling progeny of these
The vermin that shall honeycomb the
towers
And walls Of state, in unsuspecting hours.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

A ringing petition has been filed with
the Common Council of the City Of As
toria denying that anything approaching
"hard times" prevails here; that 1t is
essential that the Council cut this out
of public consideration and 60 ahead with
its projected and pending improvements
lest the threat of hard times" be made
good. and urging that body to SO admin
lister civic affairs that the dismal idea
may be negatiyed entirely. This is al
right and shows that Astoria, at least,
is conscious of the good things she en-
joys.
Facts and forebodings are widely diff
ferent things. A person, or people, may
convince themselves of almost any condi-
tion if they will cherish the governing
idea long enough and persistantly
enough, be it for good or i'll. Reiteration,
CHEEKY, or doleful, is keynote to which
the ordinary public quickly attnes its
humors; and since the choice of sound
rests with the people, common-sense
dictates the use of the happier and more
resonant note. As long as the masses
remain patient and animated and pass
the jolly up to their representatives,
there is fair chance of recovering and

1--WE TOLD YOU SOL"

The Morning Astorian has always held
that Theodore Roosevelt would not allow
the use OF his name as a candidate for
the Presidency in 1908, because it be-
heved he was a man of his word, and now
the final word has been spoken in the
important relation and the Astorian's
prediction made good.
The highest quality of sound char
aeter is its reliability, its adherence to
truth and faith under all circumstances,
and the keeping of its word, especially
when that word has been given broadcast
TO many people. Had Mr. Roosevelt yield
ed to the pressure that has been brought
to bear on him in this connection, he
would have weakened himself in the eyes
of the nation; the people would know
their first doubt of the man they have
trusted implicitly; and what is more. he
would have sacrificed his own sense OF
rectitude and cheapened himself con-
sciously for all time. We are glad he
has made the announcement confirming
his original declaration, though it was
not needed, and has simply been forced
from him in Difference to very popular
demand for reconsideration and reversal
In the language of the Oregonian he
will become an observer" though it
is more than likely he will cling very re-
hgiously to politics and Republican poll
tics at that; he is not the sort to
relinquish any great purpose or abandon
cherished plans and remain quiescent be-
cause he is not to be in the center OF
things as they shall develop after his re.
tirement. He has lived so long in the
hmelight and done 80 much and won so
much, he is sure to be always ready to
spring into any breach that invites his
trained and ardent interest. Even as
private citizen Roosevelt will be an earn
est advocate and champion of good gov
ernment; and until he becomes just that,
the country may rely absolutely upon his
standing by his splendid program and
working strenuousy for the man, and
men, who are to perpetuate it, whether
it be Taft. or Hughes, or whosoever else
the people may choose with the wisdom
he has impaired.

CHRISTMAS, ALL THE SAME!

1t may be that economy will eharac'
terize the expenditures OF the coming
holiday season in Astoria; that the
usual generous limits that mark the
choice and cost OF gifts will be abated,
and most people conform to the exae-
tions of the 'late, lamented' stringency;
but the Christmas spirit will be there.
all the same; the love and friendliness
and goodwill will be just as plain and
spontaneous, even though its manifesto
tions shall be bit abridged; the legacy
Of gentle inspiration, the prompting to
human fellowship. the expression OF
universal kindliness, are rich with life
and always ardent for the hour set for
their operation. Christmas is Christmas,
whatever the times may be, and nothing
may obliterate or deny the festival and
all that goes win II.
1t is a supemely good thing that
these days return to us with their les
sons and duties; and it matters nothing
that, once in while, the hand is COM
paratitely empty; the heart never yields
an iota of its heritage OF bounty and
gives its little with the same old glad
ness that marked its richer expression.
Damned be he" who would disparagc
Christmas because of tightened purse
strings!

New York Stocks
(By H. H. Bru Co.)

GLOBE, May 11.-Stocks continued to drag and the market was unusually dull today. The announcement that the Union Pacific expects to make this large bond issue is considered evidence that the railroads need money. Taken from the viewpoint of the professionals, the active list as whole appears to be sold out There are, of course, specific weaknesses, but the integrity of the whole is not seriously affected and the stocks have in this last recession ap- parently gone into stronger hands. Re- eovery is anticipated in all stocks dur ing the coming week.
 Old Dominion held around $54.25 all day and other good copper stocks re- main low. From the April list of the dividend payers of all stocks the copper stocks hold the highest mark. We rec ommend conservative operations in the good coppers.
 The agricultural outlook and situa- tion has made but little change during the week. Cold and unreasonable weather has continued. In the western and northwestern sections some snow has fallen and there has been freezing temperatures at night and cold and cloudy days. Under such conditions the winter wheat has not made season able progress and the government crop reports are not at all favorable. This has it's effect in all stocks and the mar ket weakness comes partly from this.

WHEN THE YOUNG EXPERT
 GOES A MEASURING UP

At a banquet of the Michigan Col lege of Mines at Houghton recently the following was told by one of the speechmakers:
 "A young college graduate was sent into a mine for the first time to meas ure drift. He didn't know just how to do it and confided in the two old Micks who were driving the drift at $7 per foot to show him. Pat smiled and said, It's aisy, me boy. Here s the draft mark. Put the end of your tape on this plug. Measure up to the breast on this side. Then across the breast Then back on the other side to the draft mark.
 "That steer I believe was inten- tional.
 "It is different to impress upon some practical men the necessity of accurate measurements. The nearest foot is close enough for most of them.
 "The captain went down to place where two Cousin Jacks were driving a drift, pulled out his tpae and said, Boys, let B measure up and see how much you drove' One of the miners answered, 'No need of measurin, Capn. We measured i'm and know bloomin well ow much we drove. Well, boys, how much does she measure? and Bill answered: Well, she's in two showls and showl its two picks and two picks its, two dags and two dags its, a swab stick, a scraper and great stone
 "Those measurements may have been all right in their place, but they would never do to hole through on."

LITTLE DOING
 IN THE MARKET
Bank Statement Was Better than Ex- pected-Prices Brace Up at Close Market Is Lifeless and Opinion Is Slightly Bearish.
(By I. N. Kinsey)

GLOBE, May 1l.-walker Brothers of New York say: Market was irregu- lar and inclined to sell off on advances in wheat. Bank statement was better than expected and after report prices braced up. Look for rather nervous and excited market until after grain market settles down.
 Paine of Boston says: New York bank statement was little better than expected and traders used this as an opportunity to advance prices a frac- tion. All public interest at present seems to be in the wheat market and reports of damage are getting more con elusive every day. We see no reason yet to change our mildly bearish posi- tion in face of absolute lack of specu- lative interest and poor crop situation.
