No! This Is Not a Square Deal
Now the true facts of the mat
ter are these:
Taxes of the citizens of the
State will not be raised One
Farthing.
Practically same amount as
above must be expended on old
Capitol for repairs or new con-
struction.
The expenditure of half a
million dollars on old building
would not give the State a
suitable Capitol.
"Something must be done"
(as per the Governors letter.)
The Bill of the Public Build
ings Committee limits the cost
to the State to 100000.
Portland will give $75O,OOO
and a site and the Legislature
cannot afford to refuse the gift.

TAKE ALL ESSENTIAL TIME.

There Is a radical difference between
wilfull and unnecessary delay and the
taking OF such a time as Is essential
for the doing Of big and important
things. And in the Reorganization OF
the Chamber Of Commerce Of this city,
1t is going to be requisite to take
certain measure OF time TO perfect and
parcel the program that Is ahead Of
us. Snap Judgment is often more dis
astrous than not, anj in the formula
ting and planning, the naming Of peo-
pie and the arranging Of details, inhs-
rent in such task time is Of the es-
sence of the work and while 1t
need not be wasted, enough should be
used to ensure careful and conscien-
tious alignment Of facts, persons and
projects with the means and motives
Of the body as a whole. What is to
be achieved by this quasi public agen-
cy, for Astoria, Is not to be the beni-
son Of an hour, nor, perhaps. year,
nor two years; and the nap-hazard OF
action unthoughtedly taken may re-
suit in deeper defeat than anything
else. It is well to allow sufficient
time to mellow and s--aoth and prove
the wisdom Of our ideas and then
work them to fruiiton upon ascertained
conviction, rather than upon the
sweeping, and perhaps dubious, pred
icate of untimely and reactionary en-
ergy,

AMERICA TO BUILD.
Russian Favors Letting Contract for

ST PETERSBURG, March s.
General Batyanoff. formerly an officer

Emperor that Russia should have a

ommendng that the projected war
ships be built In the United States and
not in Europe. The General declares
that the American shipbuilding yards
should turn out in two years as many
ships as European yards could In Ave.

THAWS OTHER JUDGE.

Another judge than the man VINO is
giving judicial ear to the tremendous
story of crime and wrong being told
in the court Of General Sessions at New
York anent the killing Of Stanford
White by Harry Thaw, is sitting in
judgment on the case. 1t is the populace
of the country and far and near
the awful minutae is filtering through
the hearts and consciences Of millions,
and there is growing up wonderful
sympathy for this man AMI his wife.
Stripped Of all the complexities
Of the law and the enmeshing
intricacies Of evidence and theories
and legal aims and purposes,
the great sentiments Of love and
Justice and pity and forbearance are
taking possession Of the people and
finding thousand excuses and pleas
for the man who murdered the man
who murdeded the soul Of the woman
he loved. And this, aside from the
striking Of the inexorable balance be-
tween the rich beast and the helpless
victim, and the fearful alternative
used by Thaw to prevent farther dis
aster and shame along such lines. No
such tale as his has ever been heard
in this country and the nation stands
shocked and subdued before the very
vastness Of the evil, from which It
turns with kindlier and less censorious
feeling to the man whose crime was
as mere bagatelle in comparison.
Human reason and human justice may
do for the miserable nero Of this incal-
culable tragedy, what the formulas Of
the law, and the codes of the nation
cannot achieve. And when the hour
for striking the equities shall come,
the inbearing sense Of the people may
contradict and annul the rigors of the
statute, with none to gainsay nor dis
parage the freedom 1t shall bring to
