Italian Hat Straw.

Few people know where the straw
for making summer hats comes from.
A great part Of 1t Is grown In Italy.
To make suitable straw the wheat Is
sown as thickly as possible In order
that the growth Of the plant may be
impoverished as well as to produce q
thin stalk having toward the end from
the last knot the lightest and longest
straw. The wheat blooms at the be-
ginning Of June and Is pulled up by
the roots by hand when the grain Is
half developed. II allowed to remain
in the ground longer time the straw
would become brittle. About five
dozen uprooted branches, the size OF
the compass Of two hands, are firmly
tied together into little sheaves and
slowed away in barns. Then the straw
Is again spread out to catch the heavy
summer dews and to bleach In the sun.
After additional bleaching the straw Is
put into small bundles and classified.
Finally 1t Is cut close above the first
joint from the top and again tied up
In small bundles containing about sixty
stalks eacb.--London Chronicle.

THE RECALL.

The fact that the people OF Oregon
have created, and are holding in their
own hands, law that makes it,
practically, as easy to remove man
from office as it is to put him in it.
is, obviously patent to every man in
the public service, or who has been
elected thereto, and the people, them
selves, are beginning to take due
cognizance of the new and strange
power wherewith they have equipped
themselves. They are not exulting in
it, nor casting about for men, nor
occasions, to use it; they are realiz-
ing the possibilities OF such an agency
with a pleasurable sense of its eff
cacy and perfect justice, when the
hour for its employment shall arrive.
We, with all men, hope never to see
its provisions called into play; this,
for the sake of the men who have
been honored and for the best ends
served by good government. But, all
the same it is an excellent thing to
have in store; it will always have its
real effect, however quiescent it may
be. The mere knowledge that it exists
that it may be invoked at any hour,
upon any man, and that it is prim-
ariIy constitutional, and above the
reach of the courts, that its applica-
ton is at the hands Of those who
granted the honor and trust that is
so betrayed as to invoke its power,
will have tendency to cure official
life and administration methods, of
many of the ills that have grown
upon the system and purge it of the
grosser and graver sources of re-
proach.
The equity of the principle under
lying the law Of recall may not be
questioned with any seriousness. 1t
is self-eyident, and as true as the
vested and unqusstioned right to
elect. The simple justice OF the man
date is the actual source OF its great
power, morally and actively; and
even though it lay imperative upon
the code for years to come, it will be,
ever and always, saving, eftlcac-
ious and powerful lever, ready at the
popular hand, to remedy administra-
tive abuses and deal summary JUS
tice upon those who have trlfed Tor
worse), with the confidence and con-
ventions of the people. The old
school politician, and the traficker,
in Office, and out of it, for spoils and
preferment, despise the new law ut
terly, as a menace to their craft and
its practice, but this is understood
by the people far and wide, and
makes the new gage Of popular
power infinitely more valuable and
influential. Whatever else may hap
pen under its aegis, the law and func-
ton of recall will never be recalled

NOT ABNoRMALLY QUIET.

The current commercial quietude
here, and everywhere over the coun-
try, is nothing abnormal, and pres
ents no strikingly untoward, or dan
gerous, elements. The "rich-man's"
panic of last October had barely sub
sided before the presidential year
dawned, with its usual, and accepted,
business inertia.
Money, the most sensitive COM
modify in human use, invariably re-
cedes, in the face OF the great uncer-
tainties inseparable from the great
campaign wherein the men, measures
and policies OF government, as it
shall prevail for four years to come,
are selected, discussed, and deter
mined. 1t is among the fixed tradi-
tions of the country that business en-
terprise and commercial expansion
shall halt, during the time these
grave and significant things are being
adjusted and settled.
The people Of the East understand
and appreciate it, better than we do;
and their equanimity would be might
lily disturbed and misdirected, If by
any chance, the revulsion in business
should not assert itself in each fourth
year.
Astoria is no worse off, in busi
ness way, than tens Of thousands OF
like communities all over the land.
And she is, fundamentally, better off
than thousands of them. What in
dustries she has are all underway,
steadily and successfully, even if the
scope OF business and profit is
abridged somewhat. Astoria is a
clean, healthy, prosperous, promising
place, with plenty of irons on the
fire and the fire burning brightly. We
Astorians are inclined to deprecate
and underestimate our own resources
and advantages, just as all home
people do with the things they are
tiresomely familiar with; but, to the
friendly and disinterested outsider,
she puts up a cheerful face and pros
pect and invites cordial and commen-
datory comment.
All we've got to do in this good
year Of 1908, is to carefully nurse Our
own interests and our own levers,
and wait, patiently, the final subsi'
dence of the universal doubt, due to
political uncertainties, that will take
its ouadrennial fight about the mid
die of November, and leave the field
clear for the sound and certain busi-
ness expansion that will assert itself
as it has always done.
There's nothing more the matter
with Astoria than with any. other
normal, welI-poised and wide-awake,
community in these United States!.
