The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-06-28

One effect of the currency law pas
sed at the recent session OF Congress
has been to make one of the strongest
banks in the country decline govern
ment deposits and return those that
il has on hand. This is the famous
Chemical Bank Of this city. The rea-
son for this action is not hostility to
the new law the fact that it requires
banks to pay interest on government
deposits. The Chemical pays no in
terest to depositors and it argued that
to make an exception Of Uncle sam
would be an unfair discrimination
against its other customers The
Chemical Bank is one Of New York's
institutions in. the same sense as the
Broklyn Bridge or Central Park and
its atmosphere in spite OF the new
building which it recently erected, is
much more like that of an old world
established than like the typical hustl-
ing American banking house. 1t will
not accept deposits indiscrlminately
and to induce it to take on new de-
positor is like obtaining membership
| in one of the citys exclusive clubs
The. soils concession it has ever been
known to make is to furnish desk
room to its star depositors, Hetty
| Green, who is reputed to carry the
largest cash balance of any bank de
positor in the country, running up tc
| four or five millions, and who makes
| her headquarters at the bank, there
by saving office rent.

Editor Gilmore of the Wills Point
Chronicle announces that he will in
troduce a resolution in the next leg
islature submitting a constitutional
amendment by a vote of the people
limiting the number of the house to
SO, or three times the size of the
senate. The Gazette is glad to see
this matter taken up by Mr.. Gilmore.
We believe the people will back him
in this fight. Fewer members, means
fewer bills, less expense, shorter SEES
sions and safer legislation. When the
number is cut down, the people will
be willing to raise the salaries and
then the real thinking, brainy mem
bers of the legislature will not have
so much driftwood to encounter
when they set out to frame good
laws.-Pittsburg Gazette.

most entirely and on the ground partly
by means of their faceted eyes. The
antennae and the buccal sensory or
gans cannot help in aerial steering.
Insects perceive the motion of OBJ
jects particularly well-i. e.. the dia-
placements Of visual images relatively
to the compound eye. They therefore
see better when on the wing than at
rest, for during flight the image Of i'm
mobile objects is displaced relatively
to the eye.
Insects distinguish the contours and
forms Of objects only more or less in
distinctly.
Insects appreciate the direction and
distance Of objects very clearly during
flight by the aid OF their compound
eyes. They can also appreciate. even
when at rest. the distance Of imnobile
objects.
Certain insects (bees, bum blebees)
distinguish color clearly and recognize
colors better than forms. Among
others (wasps) the perception Of color
appears. on the contrary, to be very
rudimentary.-'Sen OF Insects"

OVER AT CUMBY.

Over at the quiet little town OF
Cumby, in Hopkins county, the
mocking birds are singing in the
blackjack groves quite as sweetly
as they warbled before July 25. The
people are proceeding on their quiet,
even way. The Katy train gets in
every morning at u O'Clock, bring

from the election. After the papers
are read the town settles down to
its accustomed stiffness.
The least disturbed man in Cumby

few hundred more votes for Cover

was Governor Campbells opponent,

RICH WITHOUT MONEY.

If one is too large to be measured
by the dollar mark, or to be inclosed
in his estate; If the wealth of his
personality has overlooked until all
his neighbors feel richer for his life
and example; If every foot of land in
his community is worth more be-
cause he lives there; then the loss of
his property cannot materially
shrink his inventory.
If you have learned to be rich
without money; If you have, by the
cultivation of your mental powers,
gathered to yourself treasure of in
destructible wealth; If, like the bee,
you have learned the secret OF ex-
tracing honey from the thistle as
we'll as from the rose, you will look
upon your loses as q mere incident,
not SO very important to the larger
and fuller life.
1t gives a sense of immense salts
faction to think that there is some
tnlng WITHIN us greater than the
wealth we acquire or our material
pursuits that there is something
about US better than our career, bet
ter than 1iving-getting, money-get-
ting, fame-getting; that there is
something which will survive the
fire, the flood or the tornado which
sweeps away our property, which
will survive detraction, persecution,
calumny; something that will outlast
even the dissolution of the body it.
self. That is, nobility of character,
the sweetness and light which have
helped people, which have made the
world little better place to live in.

TINE FOR THEM TO GIVE TEXAS
A REST.

Every democrat in Texas, and rs=
pecially those who have been selected
to represent the state in the next
legislature, should carefully read and
then heed the following good advice
offered by the Dallas News:
Texas needs rest. and it will
show its appreciation OF those who
crafty it, The politician most apt to
commend himself to the people is
the one who best practices the virtue
of silence and quietude. There will
be expedience as well as wisdom in
saving wood. Texas has been hamp-
cred and harassed enough-even too
much. The men whose energies de-
velop the resources of a state, and
thus ameliorate the condition OF the
people, have been discouraged as
much by agitation as by performance.
1t is as much the fear of tomorrow as
the dissatisfaction with conditions Of
. today that deters men whose genius
and passion is to build up. In some
manner men of enterprise can adjust
themselves to the existing condition,
even though it be a condition come
of folly and injustice; but the threat
of something different tomorrow
frightens the stoutest.
Texas has a sufficiency of laws.
No possible subject of legislation has
been neglected. Our statesmen have
least industry, such industry as has
reared pyramids of statutes eclipsing
in height, If not in breadth, those it
took the Egyptians centuries to
erect If they have energies left i'm
patient for exercise. let them be spent
In reviewing what has been done,
rather than in devising new conceits.
The hasty work is nearly always
crude, and in its effect somewhat
wide of the mark. Not even the wis
est statesman shoots always straight,
and 1t is no reproach that a lawmak-
er miss his mark. The reproach
comes, rather, when. in spirit of
enmity or bigotry, he refuses to ex-
anime critically today what he did
yesterday, and when he repels all
suggestions of amendment as If pro-
posed from sinister motive.
In Texas there is a big task of
this kind. We have been piling up
law upon law, accommodating such an
infinite variety and mass of statutes,
that no man can know them, nor, If
he could know them, reconcile their
contradictions. The time is opportune
for denomination and revision, for
wedding out, for process of prun-
ing. That being 80. there is no reason
why our politicians should become
eruptiye for long time A long spell

Heaviest Train in Country.

The Douglas Dispatch says that at the present time the regular ore train between Douglas and Bisbee is believ- ed to be the heaviest train in the country. Every day this train takes from the mines at Bisbee to the smell ters 60 steel ore cars having capac- ity of 50 tons each, besides ten cars known as Gondolas, loaded with the sample ores for the Copper Queen shelter. One of the steel cars used on the Southwestern road will weigh 40,- 900 pounds and will carry 100000 pounds of ore. Sixty of these cars, loaded, will weigh S,4OO,OOO pounds or 4,2OO tons.
