PREPAREDNESS.

This is the time for Astoria to "get
next.
While the dearth of business is on
and there is time to devote to the
real situation, it is every mans duty
to study closely the best plans and
most feasible expedients for the COM
munal up-lift and report them when
ever they will do the most good
In spite Of every drawback that
hinders and hampers her, Astoria is,
today, one Of the "sanest and safest"
of the Oregon communities. She has
no poor and INDECENT population to
care for; she has more genuine
workers and fewer loafers than any
city Of her size in the country; she
has all the advantages she needs to
build upon and plenty of money to
build with; this is her season of
preparedness and her people must
get next" and stay there
Her destiny lies in her own hands ;
she has been notified in uncquiyocal
terms, of the disinclination of every
great agency on the outside to which
she has looked longingly for her re-
demption and launching, to buoy her
through and aid her; she swings on
her own pivot and must preserve her
own balance
The man with brains enough to
evolve a working suggestion whereby
she shall begin to forge ahead and
take on new leverage and lustre, is
the big man of the community; and
he owes a lot Of his fellows who are
willing, to man, to owe as much to
him and make good, if he will but

CONVENTIONS NEXT.

The American people are goint
into convention to name their choice
OF certain men for certain Offices, tht
highest in the land, and until tht
selections are made there will be Z
deluge Of debate and uproar from the
great centers OF assemblage back tc
the remotest precinct OF the coun-
try. Once the candidates for the
Presidency and Presidency are
named there will be four more
months OF turmoil and discussion
abuse and championship, asseveratior
and denial, bluff, buncomb, and bur
densome jaw-work, in overwhelming
food, until the people shall stem II
by going quietly to the polls and vot-
ing their choice into the exalted
Offices. The story is becoming old
and trite, but it never loses interest
however much the electorate smiles
at the farce precedent.
1t is we'll to understand now, that
the people OF the United States are
not to be put off with weak men in
this year Of grace; they have had a
taste Of the real thing in the way o'
Presidents and the succession must
be made OF quality at least ap.
preaching the strength and power ot
the man who retires 1t is equally
important to realize that the vice.
presidency must not go to some mere
hgure-head, some dawdling rich mar
or poor man whose name and influ-
ence demand recognition at the hands
of the parties. Roosevelt has lifted
that Office up along with his own, and
has accentuated the peril the country
escaped by his own presence in the
secondary station. WE want no re-
versions to ornamental incompetentsi
one of the chiefest lessons of Mr.
McKinley's deplorable death finds
expression in the standard and stam-
ina Of the man to whom his mantel
fell. The second place is as pro-
foundly essential as the first from
this single viewpoint, and it may not
be abandoned with any safety to the
nation. 1t will be grave blunder if
there are not two strong men named
at Chicago and Denver this year; an
error that will not be soon forgiven
il the country is ever called upon to
witness the failure Of weakling at
a juncture in the nations affairs such
as Mr. Roosevelt met and dominated

NO KICK: JUST A HINT.

As the second city in Oregon AS
toria rightfully asks for an improved
telephone service.
Every man here knows that the
company's representatives and en-
ployes are making the best OF a
worn-out and decrepit system, aud
while we momentarily row and rave
over the inadequacy and incompe-
tency OF it all, we do II in the general
sense OF protest against the tools
they are working with.
By every rule of business expe-
diency, public and private, the COM
panys and our own, Astoria is en-
titled to the latest and best in
switchboards and other equipment
that shall put her on level with the
coast cities OF her class and those
above it.
The entanglements that confront
ed the company last year have been
Strengthened out and may not be
pleaded now. We are urging this as
our own due, for the company's
profit and for the preservation OF the
sanity OF the community in general.
We know the lineage has been inn
proved and appreciate it but we
plead for the correlative addenda that
shall make the system what it should
be in a place OF this size, and shall
hail the news OF the company's readi-
ness to stock up this station, with
universal satisfaction.

A woman who evidently has studied
her subject first hand said recently of
American society: "The whole trouble
with society can be summed up In one
word-insincerity. A love of outward
display governs every action. People
have become too fashionable to enjoy
themselves and, while they do not
know IT, have lost the art of good liv-
ing" Others have discovered this,
too and that may be why SO many
plain people content themselves with
homeike simplicity and genuine friend
ships.
