MR.. TAFT, HIS WAY.

William Howard Taft has been toe
long in the limelight to have need for
spectacular processes in the walk
over to the Presidency, He is highly
trained, and wholly used, to the front
rank of exalted place and utilities and
has nothing to learn of the disposing
OF supremely great issues and pol
icies. He will be all there when he
arrives.
Mr.. Bryan is occupying the center
of the American stag just at pres
ent, but by the 3rd OF November he
will be in the second file OF the pop
place" and shouting with the chorus,
but not very loudly. On the contrary,
one hears comparatively little OF the
big Ohioan, and that little is OF a
qualified sort. He, nor his friends,
nor his party, take high or assump-
tive views of the campaign nor its
outcome; they are trusting to the real
and powerful influences attaching to
the situation for the final endorse
ment the people must give to the
continuance OF the Rooseveltian pro-
gram; this is all there is to the Re-
publican attitude this year; and that
does not mean that Mr.. Taft will take
orders from anyone nor ape his pre-
decssor in single thing. 1t will be
found that he has his own way of
doing things, and while he may ad-
here with devotion to the high prin-
ciples that actuated his friend and
chief, he will be his own master and
dispense his great functions accord
ing to the light, and faith, and faculty,
peculiarly his own; the people, know
ing him to be in full harmony with
what has cone before and that he has
had intimate part in the formulation
and operation Of the best and great
est of it all, are not likely to forget
for moment where safety lies, pa
ralleled by strength, and profound
experience.
Taft's quiet, forceful, thought-out,
direct way Of doing things, instead OF
bowling about them, is winning
way, and the last days OF the 1908
campaign will prove it.

HIDING HIS BLUNDER.
Automobilist Injuries. Man And Sc
cretely Cares For The Victim.

CHICAGO, Aug IA mysterious
letter telling OF an automobile accident
in which John l.. Pittman an auditor
woh disappeared Tuesday evening,
was probably fatally injured was re
ceived yesterday by the mans cous-
in, Miss Edna Stilley, it was signed
"A citizen in sorrow"
/ According 10 the unknown writer
Pittman was struck by machine on
the south side Of the street and was
taken to the residence OF the writer
where he was being cared for by him,
He also said that he had discovered
Miss Stilley's address among papers
found in Pittman's pockets Miss Still
ley took the letter to the police, say
ing she believed it was true.
Detectives found that Pittman's
wife and children are now visiting i'll
Virginia. No one could be found
who had seen Pttman since Tuesday
evening
The letter was written on plain
sheet OF paper OF good quality. There
had been an evident attempt to dis
guise the handwriting, as the letter
was written in forced backhand
style.
The police believe, with Miss Stan
ley that Pittman has been hurt by an
automobile owned and operated by a
wealthy man who has taken him to
his home in order to avoid notoricty.
Today all physicians on the South
Side will be asked if they have been
called on to attend man injured in
an auto accident

THE UP-LIFT IN SIGHT:

Out here on the coast tangent
there is lively spirit of anticipation
for the business of fall and winter; all
hands conceding that while things are
a bit hemmed in for the moment
there are bright prospects for the
whole country when the key-string OF
the situation is loosened, the Presi-
Dental election.
With a magnificent wheat crop in
plain sight and smashing big feet
coming after it; with the lumber inter
ests looking up sharply all over the
Northwest; with the election OF Mr..
Taft almost foregone conclusion;
the bankers growing optimistic and
the ordinary citizen still busy and
without cause for apprehending a ces-
sation Of employment; with all our
industries in full operation and some

gatta ever, looming along to consu,
mation), we, of Astoria, are easy and
eager and earnest as to the present
and future Of the country and our
particular section of it.
It don't pay to be in any other
frame of mind. This letting ones self
down to the "demnition bow-wows"
because a floating shadow fingers a
day too long in its passage over us, IS
folly; the thing to do is to take a
comparative survey of the field daily
and measure it by the worst condi-
tions and standards "our oldest
citizen" ever knew; then we get the
hunch that things are immensely bet

Formal Enquiry To Be Made Into
Certain Medicines.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l4.-Foods
Of every description, especially pre-
pared for infants and invalids will be
scientifically investigated by the bu-
reau of chemistry OF the department
of agriculture to determine whether
or not they are injurious to health.
While there is no specific authorize
ton to make the proposed inquiry,
the work will be undertaken under the
general authority given for the en-
forcement Of the food and drugs act
The first step will be the collection OF
data from physicians, especially speci-
alists in .child's diseases, authors
manufacturers and others.
The next step vii be the collection
of samples OF infants and invalid's
foods that enter into interstate trade
and imported from abroad. These
floods will undergo a careful chemical
ANALYSIS with a view to determining
whether they comply with the pure
food and drug act.

OUR MARINE FESTIVAL.

The Regatta spirit must never be
permitted to languish in this city and

one OF the institutions OF the north

The whole community is committed
to the policy now by the long, conse
cutive list OF happy entertainments

There is nothing lacking. We have
one of the most beautiful water

winds, superb summer weather al

sites for such an annual; we will,
by degrees, take Our place in the
roster OF great athletic events, and to
this end we must put up greater
prizes and bill the more alluring and
sportful issues OF the day This will
all come in time, and following the
pace already set, it will not be many
moons until we find ourselves on the
best records Of the world in such be-
half.

Of today.
New York has a good baseball team
in spots and a good manager despite
his "scrappy" methods Tho Phllies
also have a good baseball team taken
individually, except for one or two in
stances. Pittsburg has a couple of men
who can win games by their hitting and
sensational fielding. But none of the
afore- mentioned teams is a baseball
machine which has scarcely a weak
spot because the men play together
with one single purpose-to win.
Many there were who thought that
New York would win the play-off of
the tie game in the Metropolis last
/ Thrrsdav They argued that Christy
Mathewson could, by his pitching, de-
feat any team on his own grounds. But
/ Chance took seventeen men to New
York, q baseball family with not a

them meant to win the game They
did win it, and they will be richer by
several thousand dollars apiece.
Some ugly stories are coming from
the West about 'Mugsy" McGraw and
his methods of defeating the Phillies
and Boston. 1t is known that McGraw
did say some very mean things to
members of the Philadelphia team, and
he probably did the same to Boston
players But it should be considered
as overzealousness. or. rather. poor
sportsmanship. and not croolSedness.
McGraw is too wise to try and bribe a
man TO lose. And TO even intimate
that he did would be an injury to the
game.
