AN UNsoUND PROPOSAL.

Regarding Mr.. Bryan's past record In

"lf all that Mr.. Bryan has favored

That judgment ~ severe. and will

AsToRIA's SOUTH COAST TRADE,

The letter of Captain Robert Jones,
published in these columns yesterday
anent the building up OF a local com
merce with the lower Oregon coast out
OF Astoria. is a timely suggestion that
is worth earnest consideration at the
hands of our shippers and merchants
and should be dealt with, and no doubt
will be, by the Chamber of Commerce.
Aside from the deprivations borne by
the people in these secluded localities
which call for immediate and permanent
relief, there is always the standard ad-
vantage of being in possession lof the
field of enterprise and the certain pro
fits arising from it, and using it as a
predicate for the launching of correlative
ventures.
1t is high time the port OF Astoria was
maintaining another coast fleet. and II
it has to be started in a small way, the
way is made plain in the letter alluded
to, and cannot be too soon undertaken.

THE FEDERATIONISTS ADJOURN.

The fifth annual convention OF the
Oregon State Federation of Labor has
done its work and dissolved. the mem-
bers leaving out for their homes and
business all over the big commonwealth.
Officers and delegates have done a great
deal OF useful work and driven another
peg in the scale OF progress of unified
labor.
These men have very distinct object
among the great affairs OF humanity and
the attainment of that object tends inn
mensely to the qualifying of present day
civilization. The adjustment OF the
claims OF labor to the standards OF life
and life's commerce is a conclusion de-
voutly to be desired OF all men, since
it must lay forever half the incongrui-
ties and inequalities now imposed upon
society and the business interests of the
world. And if this convention has done
aught to carry the movement one Jot
nearer to attainment, the assembly was
not in vain.
The three-day session has been marked
by a steady adherence to the work in
hand, and the 100 people to whom it was
assigned have made a deep and favor
able impression on this community by
the quiet dignity that has characterized
their presence and processes. They en-
ioyed what OF outing and pleasure was
provided by way of entertainment. but
the first thing with them was the con-
sumation of their tasks. They leave
here with the profound good will OF AS
toria and the hope that their session has
been altogether fruitful OF good.

The manner of the doing the essential

We see no reason why she should not

come the standard. The two blocks
under consideration lie in the heart OF
the city; they are owned by men who
can better afford the test than the vast
majority of citizens; the plan for ce'

Senator Ncwland OF Nevada Is spend.
ing the holiday recess In endeavoring
to prevent n withdrawal OF the govern
ment troops from Goldfeld. He has had
several conferences with Secretary Taft,
and the Secretary, in turn. has taken the
matter up with the White House. The
Senator declares that a reign OF terror
would ensuc once the troops were
withdrawn and that there is not any
other adequate means OF protection in
his state. Administration officials, how
ever, are inclined to believe that they
have no right in employing any part
OF the regular army in Nevada under
present conditions. Since the $50 men
OF the 22nd Infantry landed in Goldhcld.
the government has repeatedly called
Gov. Sparks attention to the fact that
this constitutional doubt could be solved
by the simple device OF calling together
the State legislature, when that body
could either give its warrant to the use
of federal troops or provide by legis'
tion for raising state force, either
OF militia or police, sufficient to insure
the maintenance OF peace and the OBJ
seryance of the law in Goldiicld. II is
believed that Senator Newlands has
prevailed upon the governor to do this,
and il this proves true the administra'
ton probably will permit the troops to
remain until some arrangements can
be made.
