HOW DO YOU STAND?

In a preface to his book. entitled.
The Raid on Prosperity" Chancellor
Day, there is only one Chancellor Day
and in this case "one is a DOSE has
renewed his attack upon the president.
This would be of extremely small con-
sequence ii Day did not represent
class and assume to be spokesman for
certain interests. He finds the actions
of the president destructive of liberty
and the forerunner of an oligarchy.
Such phrases and appellations as
"swollen fortunes" excite the chancel-
Tors wrath and call condemnation
down upon the head of the president
Roosevelt is a "reactionist," dictator
and whatever occurs to the mind of
the eminent defender of Rockefeller
and the monopolistic trusts. All of
which has been said before by Day
and his clients.
But IL he is entitled or authorized
to speak for the interests he defends,
Chancellor Day outlines theory that
will interest every man in business.
as foolish to make laws to slow down
the locomotive in order to guard against
the restraint OF the stage coach as 1t is
to distract the corporation with laws
and commissions to enable weaker
men and small capital to carry CT #
ficiently the same business" We do
not want, he says, to make small bus
mess nor small men. Small trade Is
at the demand of the trader, and not
of the people" Therefore, lit is a
prodigious blunder to attempt a legis-
lation to protect small forms of BUSH
ness"
This is the Rockefeller theory. 1t is
the theory of all monopolistic combina-
mand of the sources of production.
Not only the individual is set aside,
but the multitude. Competition is lln-
necessary to the Day Rockefeller
scheme. 1t is annoying and to be
eliminated wherever the power to kill
1t is available.
Contrast this week the texts offered
by Roosevelt, cummins and the men
who antedated the Roosevelt policy
and have supported the square deal.
Just at present the days of the
Standard and other monopolistic or
CARNATIONS are being 'slcked on"
Roosevelt. In Iowa a similar pack is
on Cummins' trail. Where are the IN
diivdual, the small trader, those who
follow "the small forms of business"
ready to stand?

they would become the most helpful
organizations in civic state and ma
tional life. If deviation from honest
principles meant Immediate dismissal,
the stock phrases of anti-church agi-
tators would soon become meaning
less and ineffective. No man can be
Il good Catholic and a CRATER. Meth
err can he be good Protestant. for the
difference between the two churches is
not of fundamental principle.

On the other hand, If the banks put
the business man out OF the Way OF
doing business for no better reason
than that he cannot get the money to
do business with, the consequences Will
be necessarily unpleasant
THE critics of the governor are
working overtime on the Davenport
incident" notes the Glidden Graphic.
They are busily engaged, in fact, that
"rhey are SO busily engaged. in fact,
that the do not have time to refer
to his part in promoting two cent
fare, primary and anti-pass legisla-
ton"
THAT the country has full confidence
in the banks is shown by the readi-
ness with which the clearing house
checks are being taken everywhere
notes the Upton Advertiser Many
of these will never be redeemed for
the simple reason that the holders
will not present them for payment
when they are called in. They will
be kept as curiosties as souvenirs of
one of the most senseless money pan
les from which the country has suf-
fered.''
"'rhe assault on Governor Cummins
in connection with the Davenport
case was planned and executed by
Blythe and other supporters of Sena-
tor Allison for political purposes" says
the Odebolt Chronicle, land a few edi-
tors nominally opposed to Allison
didn't have sense enough to compre-
bend the motive"
"The most formidable war cloud In
evidence just now is the one hanging
over the Iowa National Guard. says
the Des Moines Capital.
But there is some consolation for
Senator Dolliver," says the Waterloo
Courier He is not the first politician
to mess things for himself"
"The good fellow" says the Dubuque
Telegraph, us his own worst enemy.
He walks haltingly at 80, at 40 one
foot in the grave, and at so he is sleep
ing the sleep eternal. He Is the de-
spair of those who love him not for
what he spends, but for the virtues
that are his. With many sweet protes-
.tations of his purpose to reform he
buoys these up with hope, only to dash
hope down again by his return to con-

such a bill will drive millions of dol
lars in trade to the large centers to
the detriment of the local merchants,

proposition is made to us who help

Surprising, for instance. you take a
town of one thousand with four stores,
each store employing four to five peo-
pie at an average wage of $40 per
month, counting all such stores in
the United States you would have
many thousand, and If we were forced
to discharge employees, look at the i'm
mense number of people that would be
directly affected by your Parcels Post
bill, to the benefit of the large con-
Germs and not to the consumer.
While your bill is along different
lines than most Parcels Post bills that
have been advocated, it is in my oun
ion only the entering wedge to a more
extended bill later on.
The Parcels Post bill must, If en-
acted. naturally create an enormous
deficiency in the postal department.

saving a few cents are few In number
compared with those who would re-
ceive packages transported by the
government at loss to the govern

If our country was populated as
dense as some countries in Europe,
your plan might meet with favor. IL
YOU were merchant of moderate

millionaire and a theorist. you could

1t Is also the intention of many re-
tailers turnout Iowa, to take up this
matter direct with the congressman
representing all of the districts in

as great an authority as the postmas-

LET'S GET NEXT!

In the face of all that is impending
for the great good of this city and Sec
ton and which, in the early months OF
the new year, will take actual shape in
a hundred forms OF progress, we believe
it will be of very practical benefit to
the whole community here to get to-
gether in big and friendly "pow-wow'; !;
to summon ourselves into huge mass
meeting with the sole purpose of reach
ing a broad, sensible, unanimous, heart
to-heart agreement as to how we are
going to make the most of the promising
future of Astoria and Clatsop, and to
unite upon a general program OF help
full, communal action, along all the lines
that touch the commoner interests and
"get next" to the chiefest requirements
of the hour. Such a gathering, repre-
sentative of the business, property, and
Industrial concerns of the whole people,
cannot fail to be of service in determln-
ing the course we are to pursue in the
larger items of public and private busi-
ness inseparable from the coming devel-
opment; and may mitigate many a mis-
understanding; solve, at least, in part,
what may be the real problems OF the
later hour; show the tone Of public
feeling in relation to the larger projects
already on foot, and assist very mater
tally in shaping and solidifying the plans
that are to serve us best in the task of
taking over the new advantages thrust
upon us; and put the entire populace on
the oui yiye for all that is in store; the
meeting cannot do any harm to single
man or interest involved, and is likely to
do far more good than the mere thought
of it indicates, provided all hands come
together unhampered by selfish purposes,
and with minds wide open for the recep-
ton and consideration of what shall be
wholesome and good for the community
as a whole.
The suggestion is respectfully sub
mitted to the Astoria Chamber of Com
merce for primary and authentic action
such as is requisite in case OF the kind.
The Chamber has done wonderful
work in heralding the name and re-
sources of city and county over the
whole continent and the larger part OF
Europe, and it may not be amiss if its
influence shall be turned, for the
moment, to the more intimate and in
fuential elements of life and business at
home, especially at a juncture when the
best wisdom and widest concert Of action
is imperatively demanded for the section
that Chamber stands for.

with such subject this would hardly be
