LONDON, August Theodore
Cook. a member of the British Olym,
.pic council, has sent a long communi-
cation TO the newspapers Of London.
stating that as the criticisms from
Americans on the four hundred me-
tres race at the Olympic games ap~
pear 10 be based on an ignorance o!
facts, he has deemed it advisable 10
give the exact facts on which the de
cision was based. He then gives The
statements Of the various officials OF
the American Athletic Association
who acted as starters, umpircs, etc,
and the evidence presented at the in
quiry after the race showing that all
starters in the race were warned at
the start that watchers had been plac.
ed around the track and that any vii.
full jostling would result in the race
being declared void Mr.. Cook, com
menting on this official view, says:
THE only question that can be rails
ed is whether the Olympic games
should have been held under American
or English rules 1t was not open
for the American Athletes to appeal
for American rules after entering un-
der English rules. All can say is
that after our experience with what
the American code appears to permit
no English athlete is likely to accept
it as "A fair basis for international
competition"
Commenting on Mr.. Cooks state
ment, Sporting Life insists that it is,
necessary to compile for future Olym-
pics a complete detailed code Of reg
ulations covering every branch Of
sports after consulting all constitu
cnt countries that are to send contcn-
1ers. In stating many points where
the rules failed and where they could
be improved or modified Sporting
Life urges the British Olympic coun-
ii to initiate a movement for inter
national rules by frank and free dis
,ussion with foreign committees and
with an absence Of desire to press the
English rules on foreigners

OUR GLAD HAND OUT!

Astoria has her glad hand out
1t is her especial season for the
demonstration, her Regatta season!
Her jolly hand is full Of glorious
sunshine, cool ocean breezes, warm
hospitality, endless entertainments,
magnificent scenery delightfully."- di-
vided between land and water scapes;
fyless days and mosquitoless sleepful
nights; all the homecomforts, and
the charms Of a resort season special
lied and accentuated; rational rates,
and plenty Of time for everything!
There may be fuller hands than this
sticking out from favored localities
over Oregon, but none friendlier;
that, we'll swear to.
The three-day regatta season fits in
admirably just between the carking
summer heat Of the interior and the
royal fall weather Of the coast, than
which there is nothing more perfect
in the way Of temperature and tenn
peramcntal requisites; ideal condi-
tons amplihed by enjoyable pro-
grams, day and night, and the glad
hand Of Astoria over it all, to
smooth and soften and make all

years of age suffer from kidney and

PERSONAL CONCERN NEEDED.

What is needed here, as we'll as
elsewhere, is more personal interest,
individual concern, in public matters,
especially with regard to street work,
There is no use saying 1T is none OF
our business; it is altogether our
business. 1t is public money that is
being spent and public interest be-
ing served, and we are the Public.
There are excellent people in charge
of these things, but the best of them
grow careless, at times, high, and low;
those who ordain things and those
who do them as they are ordained, or
as nearly as they can or will; and
every time the private citizen butts
in to have something amended ne
does a distinct favor and service to
his fellow-taxpayer. 1t is not always
pleasant, OF course, but it is timely,
essential, public spirited, and il pays.

SPECIALIZED AND MINIMIZED.

City, after city, all over the United
States, is abandoning the. old and
cumbersome councilmanic system OF
government that for years has, in
nearly every instance, demonstrated
, its aptitude for graft and inetficacy,
and is taking on the newer, safer,
more direct, and centralized, scheme
OF departmental commissions, where
by each element OF municipal admin
istration is given into the hands OF a
small group of men, especially equip
ped Tor the correct, adequate and
economic handling OF that separate
Interest, elected, paid, bonded, and
held accountable, first and last, for
the honest dispensing OF the public
trust conhded to them.
The curse of the old vogue is the
almost universal absence OF all pay
and emolument; the rule that thrusts
honors upon a man without anything
whatever to support them and make
them something more than cheap and
fictitious dignities. To this we owe
the threadbare respect now attaching
to the municipal official quality, at
least 50 lar as the councils are con
cerned And, in many a case, their
faces are saved by the courage, skill,
and honesty OF some we'll paid officer,
who intervenes at the propitious mo-
ment of doubt, hazard or worse
crisis.
Portland is looking to the change
and studying it carefully with a view
to putting it in practical use, and
outstanding the wealth and attributes
OF the city, instead of frittering them
away through reckless and shameful
channels OF divided authority, per
sonal ineptitude, multiple functions,
stupidity, ineffciency, indifference,
and deliberate theft, the latter-day es-
sentials OF the municipal administra-
tive code.
Of course, Astoria has none of
these disagreeable things to worry
about, but, all the same, it will pay
her Ito save her acknowledged i'm
to take up the issue and
never lay it down until she has put
her civic responsibilities in hands,
hands, that will special
ize, minimize, conserve, administer,
and restore them to her, expanded,
with public costs invari-
ably reduced. Look it up, Gentlemen
Of the Electorate!

spRINGFIELDS CONTRIBUTION

Springfield, the place that holds
the sacred bones of our own Lin
coin; the place, OF all others in these
United States, that should have
known what to do, and where to
stop, in the crisis that has swept her,
has "out Heroded Herod" in her
demonstration of mob-law and COM
munal vengeance.
Down South, where these things
are more frequent, and where we di-
rect our especial anathema and hot
criticism, they have the deecncy to
trail their guns and go home after
they have killed the unnameable beast
that invites their vengance; but
Springfield, probably being new to
the cult, goes on for days with the
exercise of its senseless reprisals, and
half the military strength OF the
State is invoked to subdue the people
who started out to subdue and for
got to quit.
White, or black, the man guilty OF
what the wretch at Springfield was
guilty, should die quickly illegally, if
POSSIBLE, in order that society and its
dearest charge, the young woman
hood Of the land, may be the safer by
that DEATH and this having been
wrought, those who have assumed to
execute the law, written, or unwrit-
ten, have no call to go farther and
expend their accumulated rage and
righteous wrath on all the suspects
Of the community.
There is a good deal in knowing
where to begin, and where to stop!
