Go, as Movement is Regarded as
Step Toward Complete Estab-
lshment Of Independence.

Havana.-New Years day will wit
ness the beginning of the evacuation
Of Cuba by the army OF pacification,
which has been in possession of the
islands since the beginning of the
provisional government, October,
1906.
The first provisional regiment OF
marines, numbering about 900, which
will be among the first troops to
leave, are now concentrating from
various posts. About half this regi-
ment will sail from Havana January
l. on the cruiser Prairie, which ar
rived here Christmas eve, bound for
Newport News. The Prairie will re-
turn about the middle of the month
and embark the remainder.
The embarkation will be effected
with as little ceremony as possible,

ture will be attended with as little
i'otice as marked their landing.
Cubans are greatly pleased by the
departure of the American forces, as
marking the complete establishment
Ct independence. All show the kind

CRITICS AND CHAMPIONS.

criticism and championing Of Presi-

President goes right ahead and does
and says things that suit the people
down to the ground"
He is no panderer to popular
laudation; he has reason for every
thing he does and conviction Of its
Righteousness, else he would not do
it; and cheerfully, yet rarely, admits
what of mistakes he has made and
goes about the remedy with the same
snap that characterized the original
act.
He will never be so great as when
he shall have laid down the trust he
now holds from, and for, the people;
and the people will never lose sight
of him nor give him living hour OF
freedom from the specific duty OF
guarding and caring for them He is
no perfect man, but he is honest and
strong and helpful, and a mastery

FALL GRAIN FROM ASTORIA.

We have the word of Portland
capitalist who is quite close to the
grain trade that beginning is to be
made this fall in the matter of send
ing grain abroad from this port,
While this is grateful news, it does
not surprise us so much as the old
contention that such commercial en-
terprise was impossible.
Such departure in the grain-hand-
ling of the Northwest is as inevitable
as it is overwhelmingly logical; and
only mistaken policy, adhered to on
the score of local pride up Portland
way, has kept the plan from practical
operation and immense success, all
these years. Portland, will, of course,
own, control and direct the business;
that is as inevitable as the other
proposition and no one deprecates thc
conclusion, nor the fact. What we of
Astoria want is recognition and the
common-point rate. These secured,
by whatever agency, the rest Will as
sert, and adjust, itself all in good time
and along the lines OF least resistance,
as all commercial affairs do (when
they are permitted toy
There are those who will say this
but anothers phase of the old, old
song which this port has been carol
ing for the better part of century,

only song we have the right to sing,
and we are glad to lift our voice in a
newer refran, rather than not sing at
all. Besides, there are new instrument.
alities at work on this proposition,
now; huge investments and plans and
interests, that must coalesce in the un-
lettering of this port and its rational
exploitation, in due time; and there
are terminal issues, in which this city
and port have never figured until this
year; transportation men and shippers
are awakening to the trenchant fact
that from $1,000 to $4,000 are to be
saved in the way OF quick despatch
and port-charges on every ship load
ed out OF here, and this is an appeal
that will, sooner or later, have its
rightful bearing IN the maritime nego
tiations of the Northwest. So, we are
taking the word of the Portland man
in this relation, on the mere assump
ton that he is talking we'll in line
with what is reasonable, and clearly
within the prospect, tine, logic
and the law Of commercial expansion,
have set up for this place.

THE DEMANDS OF LABOR.

Every rightly balanced man in the
United States will be glad to see a
big measure of success reaped by the
acknowledged labor leaders of the
country, now before Congress with a
plea for amendatory and helpful legis-
lation in matters of advanced moment
to the working crafts of the nation.
As usual. the President is carefully
scanning the program presented and
proposes to go so far in the premise
as is rational. and to recommend
everything that is prudent and timely
that they are asking. And again as
usual, he is not going the length OF
their desires, at this particular time,
because he does not believe in making
their specific demands the leading
issue of the hour.
And the wise men in charge OF
the demands are realizing the eX-
pediency of his reservation and will
join with him, in the end, for the ac-
complshment of all that may be had
at this time.
This is sensible around, and will
tend to strengthen the claims OF til,
great federations upon the Congress
OF the people when the further and
greater demands are in line for pres
entation and treatment. Like all
immense interests, those of labor must
be wrought in patience and persever-
ance and abide the partial successes
as they shall result. There is nothing
wise, well-balanced, unified labor
cannot have if it goes about the thing
as its real leaders direct.
