They have a perfect right to, but
their doing so does not indicate they
were helped or abetted in any way
by the Mormon church.
Elder Weir of the Presbyterian
church ran for Congress, but that
does not indicate that the Presbyter-
ians as a church were in politics. If
the Tribune wants to chastize the
churches that are in politics it had
better get after the Ministerial as
ISOLATION of Salt Lake City. Here is
some positive evidence. On Septem-
Der Fl, 1903, the following resolution
was introduced into the Salt Lake
Ministral association, Resolved, that
it be the sense of this Ministerial as
ISOLATION that the time has come for
the election of an out-and-out Cen
tile mayor and city council, the ma
jority of the members of which will
not be tools in the hands of the Nor
mon hierarchy"
This resolution was published in
the daily papers, and from this church
resolution sprang the Americans
party. If a similar resolution against
the Gentle churches had been passed
by few disgruntled Mormons in any
part of Utah, the Tribune would have
enlarged and magnfied it on the
whole front and editorial pages and
also printed it as tracts and distri-
buted it all through the country, with

the fall of 1905. Here is what the
December Home Mission Monthly
says on the subject: "That the Home
Mission Monthly should appear as
political campaign document is
something that would not naturally
suggest itself as among the functions
of this publication. But verilly this
has even come to pass, for so inn
portant did the contents of the o.
tobre number appear to those who
were wagng the political issue with
Mormonism in the Idaho election
this autumn, that soon after the frst
edition was sent out 10 our readers
500 copies of that number were or
dered to be put in the hands of think
ing voters of Idaho, that they might
see how Mormonism appears to those
well-informed on it's issues in the
east. This first order was soon sup
plemented by another which necssi-
tated the issue Of second edition
of tbe October number"

longest that has yet been put on al

length of the program but one per.

lecture a session of the Federal Senate

from South Carolina; and yet he would

Just now he is making one of his
customary war-plays on the Interests

Senator Tillman is tarantula. .istic in
his style of attack and defense; he
springs and bites and springs back, and
his opponent knows, without any fgur-
ing. just where he has been hit and
hurt; and the counter-attack, be it ever

PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION.

We are publishing this morning a
tabulated statement showing the actual
relation of this port to the wheat ship
ping interests of the Northwest, com.
paratively. as to distance. with every
one OF the commonpoints now figuring
in the general scheme Of transportation
service available in this behalf. 1t is
succinct, plain, and indisputable; it was
calculated and arranged by men who,
while obviously Of Astoria, Astorians
are sensible of the demands of the
common-good and disposed to acceler-
ate them if need be at the expense Of
this city; happily, that extreme does
not attach at present, and may be
averted for all time, if. in due course,
the commercial aeumen OF the territory
in question shall elect its real and
commanding seaport to the place and
work belonging to it.
A careful study OF the revelations
made in this table will show clearly, to
any mind not obsessed with an irwin
chile prejudice against Astoria, that
distance, grades, and time, in the
scheme of wheat transportation from
the interior to the coast, and its sub
sequent despatch from dock and eleva-
tor, are mimiied by the adoption Of
this mort to tho fna1 and nerrua nant
commercial designs Of the future; and
the intrinsic value Of the showing is
less for us than for the interests at
Portland that must, of necessity, con-
troll the sinews of the business. At all
events it is worth the careful review Of
every live man within hail of the slow,
yet inevitable. development, in this
direction.

QUARANTINE.

1t has developed in the Astoria Cham,
ber of Commerce. that the recent row,
raised in Portland. over the alleged
short in the federal quarantine
service at this port, were, If not in
spired by the indisputable anti-Astoria
sentiment prevailing in certain places
in that city, at least, radically unwise,
in-advised and without tangible basis
other than the yawp of single sea-
captain, AMI he an employe of the ank-
est and rawest combine, permitted, by
the indifference OF the Almighty and the
coHardice of handicapped people, to
exist and do business on the face of
the earth.
If the little group OF English shippers
up at Portland, that seem to have such
overweening influence in invoking ad-
verse sentiment there as against this
port, were trained down bit and made
to show real, instead OF imaginary,
causes for their structures on Astoria,
the file of the commercial mem
berships in the public organizations
there. would have larger and juster
knowledge and estimate of the utilities
and people at this end of the river Or,
il, in the case at hand. they had sent
committeeman to consult with DR..
Holt or asked that gentleman to go to
them and discuss the situation and
coalesce on remedies for what was amiss
they would have shown much more
decent spirit as well as better business
acumen. As it is they have made
blunder and while nothing has been lost,
save the force of the blow intended for
the port here, they have relinquished
their right to continue the row and our
advice to them is to haul off and get
sensible. and above all, to "get next"

pensing affairs; but they are, one and all
unhampered by any untowari and tareat
ening elements that might have at
tached to the situation had it not been
for the intervention of the "holidays'
and the abundant common sense of the
people at large.
The Christmas trade all over the
State so far as heard from is in ex-
cellent shape, and shows much smaller
pencentage of diminution than was an.
tieipatei and it is likely the sum OF
business win prove, in the end. more
nearly normal than was anticipated at
all a few weeks ago. Therefore, we Of
Oregon, have much to be thankful for
and a sharp incentive to get in and
make the most OF much healthier CON
dition than we had looked for; and
what is more there is always the new
and untried year at hand in which to
make the fresher and sturdier endeavor
to accomplish the things that could not
be wrought this year.
