A TRIUMPHAL TRIO.

Astoria needs, and is going to have
three things each and all indispensa.
BILE to her future success as a com.
mercial center a well-defned and le-
gally constituted, port; fine and per-
manent seawall with grades and sew
ers to match it; and the common
point rate OF grain. These three, and
then some.
The Port, and its commission, are
perhaps, the most essential OF the
three advantages, since it may be
used, with logical certainty, in the
requirement of the other two, since
both are indigenous to and correl.
ated with, this initial and popular
measure
Once the Port OF Astoria is estab-
lished by the will of the people, in
workable and guarded shape, it will
be vastly easier to plan and build
seawall; and the task of securing the
coveted rate on grain will be made
good deal simpler; for the port com
mission can carry out the provisions
for a seawall and reduce the scheme
to its best limitations of cost, labor and
responsibility, while its authenticated
interest in the grain rate will be re-
cognized and understood of all men.
There is no use for many and var
led commissions; they do but set up
local jealousies and contests of au-
thority; cheap wranglings that any
community can well afford to avoid;
they are all right in distinct and in
dependent relations that under no
circumstances of contract or conflict
with each other, but where they in
ter-weave they invariably interlock
and thwart the will of the people in
all directions.
The meeting tomorrow night at
the Chamber of Commerce should be
well attended by the rank and file of
Astoria citizenship, and the Port of
Astoria and its Commission should be
given such an endorsement and
as will land it so far on the
major side Of the municipal vote in
December next as to make it the car
1inal, commanding element of civic
interest for all time to come.

THE BATTLE TO OPEN.

Chairman Hitchcock, Of the Ma
tional Republican Campaign Commit
tee, announces that the battle is to
open Immediately, all along the line,
and never cease until Mr.. Taft is

been on, without cessation, since
1896; it is always on, and will not
fail to be on, until Gabriel does his

According to dispatches Of politi-
cal color and significance, there is to
be general scrap made for the
scalps Of the notables on both sides,
in Office and out of it, but within the
line of battle. And we are not averse
TO the cleanup; it will not hurt either
party, and the people will be vastly
benefited by the wholesale elimina-
ton, even if it shall include Mr.. Cor

Americans, conspicuously warped and
concentrated to and upon Mr.. Cortel-
you who. not very long since, came
within an ace OF forgetting the man
who made him what he is, national
figure. Governor Haskell makes a
startling and logical example OF what
might be done in this behalf.
We are all ready for the fray out
here in Oregon. Republicans are, in
this relation, at least, solid unit, on
the far west coast, and Mr.. Taft and
Brer' Hitchcock may rest easy on the
score of the returns from the Bea-
yer State. We might not tender so
broad an assurance if there were any
local issues set up for November, but
so simple proposition as Taft or

Der of the great fraternity Of America,

BRYAN'S REMEDY.

THE remedy proposed by Nj
Bryan will make the conservative
banker pay for the negligence, care
lessness, lack 'of confidence or dis
honesty Of the failing banker 1t take
from one man without fault on hi
part money to pay for the default 0
another. That is socialistic doctrine
and so violates all equitable princi
pies that the remedy should be con
demned for this reason.
TO say, as Mr.. Bryan does, thai
the postal saving bank system is more
socialistic than this is to give curl
Gus definition to socialism. Postal
savings banks take no mans money
to make up for the default Of anoth-
er. 1t merely uses an arm of the
government which is not and cannot
be discharged by private enterprises.
Whereas the enforced guaranty plan
takes out OF one mans plan engaged
in business of banking money to pay
for another mans default. That is
pure socialism.
Mr.. Bryan suggests the expenses
connected with the examination Of
banks imposes burden on one man
for the default OF another. There is
no analogy whatever between the rea-
sonabie requirements for the exami-
nation of all banks and the taking out
of one mans pocket money to pay for
the fault of another. 1t is reason
able imposition upon all banks that
their accounts should be examined,
and that their methods OF doing BUSH
ness should be constantly under pub
lie supervision and it Is reasoning, err
roneous as it is refined to make the
pro-rata cost Of a general bank ex-
animation precedent for taking mon
ey out 70 one mans pocket for ano-
ther mans default.
1T has been shown that in the
state OF Connecticut that if this system
had been in force during the last ten
years, and the tax had been paid out
but $4,000 would have been receiv-
ed. This illustrates the unjust, in
equitable and socialistic character Of
a compulsory system most complete
