BRYAN AS A CRITIC.

William Jennings Bryan, in his Omaha
speech. poses as a critic of Mr.. Roose
velt's administration and charges him
with having made some serious mis-
takes, but glozes his animaiversions with
a few sops as to the Presidents heart
being right" etc, etc. 1t strikes us that
the Nebraskan will be in better bust
ness ii he shall lend his energies to con-
vincing the people that he, himself, can
make 10 mistakes and that he has some
thing to offer us greater than that Mr..
Roosevelt has given. Theodore Roosevelt
occupies a place of fixed value in the
trinity OF really great American presi.
dents, Washington, Lincoln, and Roose'
welt; and while we accord much to Mr..
Bryan, we are prone to hold our esti.
mates in reserve until he has broken the
rectangle to square by the introiuc'
ton OF Bryan line OF inefaceable
value. The gentleman from Lincoln
has yet to get a line on the Presidenc!
before he can make any other historical
marks that shall not fade; and criticism
of the man whose pace and place he
must fill is not calculated to give him
the popular go" that is essential.

IMPRESS OF A DAY.

There are always days in each year. 5
calendar that stand out in bold relief
from their fellows, as days whose record,
or impressions, are OF notable value to
the community, and Mondays record in
Astoria was ample to justify its being
placed in such category.
1t was the first official business
day OF the year in many respects. and
from these sources there came certain
indicia that marks the day as one full OF
suggestive promise for the city and
county. This was peculiarly apparent in
the annual messages of Hon. Herman
Wise, Mayor, to the Common Council;
and the annual reports of President ].
w. Welch, and Secretary John H.
Whyte, to the Astoria Chamber OF Com
merce. These three documents were
formulated by men who are in the fore
front OF civic life here, each and all re-
sponsible and honorable citizens, whose
conclusions are founded upon fact as
certained through constant and intimate
touch with the real needs and actual
work of the city and amenable to strict
and reliable Interpretation.
A careful review OF the papers alluded
to will compensate any citizen who
wants to know what has been done, what
is doing, and what is requisite to be
done, for the good of Astoria; and the
tone of each is replete with records of
accomplishment, both practical and
theoretical, as well as charged with wise
suggestion for the future, and all dis
tinctively sanguine OF still larger attain
ments in the near future. And this
cheerful strain is not offered upon mere
hypothetical bases, but OF tangible and
feasible predicates, that have only to be
used with our inherent strength and re-
sourcefulness to blossom into potent
realities of infinite value to the whole
people. There is nothing dismal nor
ambiguous and forbidding in the con-
clusions Of any of these gentlemen; their
entire thesis are alive with hopefulness
and promise that may be easily made
good by public and private enterprise
and spirit of unity.
All Astoria needs to cinch her new and
immediate good fortune is trife more
of that unified sentiment and collabora- |
tion along all progressive lines. Once
she has taken over the gosel of concert
and harmony, in thought and action, her
run for success will be sure and illimit-
able. And among the pleasant Impressions
Of the day spoken Of, is that this sense
Of inter reliance and coalition is rapidly |
gaining ground and application in this
mars town and this is worth more than
can be easily calculated, except upon
the demonstration Of it's certain results.

IMPEDES PROSECUTION.

The ruling made by the supreme court
of the United States, on Monday last,
in the case of the appeal Of ex-Repre-
sentative J. n. williamson charged with
fraud in land dealings in this state, that
lands may be acquired even under a
pending contract for subsequent sale;
that they may be actually disposed of
before final proof is submitted and form
ally made, is direct blow at all pend
ing prosecutions, since this is among
the plainest, and perhaps, the most uni
versal of the allegations upon which all
suits are founded. Coming from any
other source one might be pardoned fol
passing thought that the finding was in
spired; but that, of course, would be
rank "lese majeste" if directed at the
seat and source OF all demonstrable pow
er in these United States. At all events
it intervenes at moment when it is

After a delay OF almost ar hour
Mrs. Hitchcock invited her guests to

messenger to the residence OF Sena

fear was felt that the Missourian had
started and had fallen by the way. as
the day was cold and wintry one
The fact was. however, that the sen

the messenger got there. clad in his

FRED PETERSON IN
REPLY To RUMORs

Fred Peterson, brother Of Bert Peter
son, makes answer to a rumoF publish
ed in the Star, that Bert is involved in
financial troubles, mentioning the sum
of 1000 belonging to Princess Ka-
wananakoa, as the item in question, as
follows:

know that there is no SIT 900 that he
could be short on Bert s friends know
him pretty well, and I am sure will
suspend judgment, and viii eventually
find out that he is absolutely straight.
1t is an unkind thing for a newspaper
to publish things based entirely on
rumors, especially where they have
gone and asked the attorney of the
Princess, Frank Thompson, and he re-
plies that he don't know anything
about it, and would know if there was
anything wrong; and also when they in
terview r. w. Shingle, business agent
for the Princess, wherein he replies that
so far as he knows there is nothing in
the story. It seems to me after running
rumor down like that they should
have dropped the matter there. | be-
lieve, in time, they viii find that every
thing with Bert's affairs is straight. =

DAINTY TEMPLE IN
THE ASYLUM ROAD

One of the prettiest little japanese
temples in the city is the new one
erected few months ago on Asylum
road, pictured here. This temple IS a
tiny affair, but complete in all it's de-
tails, from the tori to the latticed
shrine behind its futtering clusters of
stamped-eloth prayers.
In the little twenty-foot yard be-
tween the pillared gateway and the
sandscoured floor of the shady lanai,
a japanese garden in miniature is
worked out; tiny fountain sprays
among the rock piled fernery, and
winding pathways, like those shown in
Swiss gardens, are marked out in
milk-white stones among the shrubs.
An old priest guards the temple,
works away in his little garden and
performs the rites for the faithful of
the neighborhood.
As little bit of transplanted Japan,
the Asylum road temple is worth an in.

SALISBURY

Miss Gertrude Minor, recent gradu- ate of the Morse Business College, where in she took special honOrs in last June's finishing class, has just accepted an ex- cellent situation in the employ Of G. A. Caldwell, wholesale stationer i'll New Britain, Conn.
 Great was the excitement and lndig- nation in our little village after the ball game Saturday afternoon, not because our httle town met defeat, for we are well used to that, but because after nearly every man, woman and youth Ill the village had left their work (all the stores were closed) and had gone to the ball field, they were obliged to witness the most unfair, unjust and desplcable piece of umpiring that has taken place at any league game. Consequently the score was I to 0 favor of Lakevllle. But with fair. disinterested umpire there is little doubt but the result woule have been different When taken to task after the game, umpire Norton would only reiterate: "Oh you'd kick any way" "You'r re nothing but kickers anyway Now every team i'll the league knows that in spite of its repeated defeats, the Salisbury team and the Sal 1sbury people have been accomplishing and never kicked on an umpire decision with the exception of the game at Sharon. Our boys couldn't have won that game anyway, but this case was en tirely different. They played better game throughout than Lakeville. made fewer errors, and with fair umpire, would undoubtedly have won the game. Lakeville refusad to continue the game at Canaan a short time ago because they questioned an umpire's decision. The game here Saturday would have been short indeed had we done likewise. Lakeville heads the list and Salisbury foots it, but all things considered, we much prefer our position and reputation.
