TAFT AND BRYAN FIRST.

We Of Astoria, with a good many
other cities, have our hands full Of
politics, present and prospective, and
we are naturally ambitious to make
the most Of the men and policies that
are best and nearest to our destiny.
But with national and a municipal
election fore-fending we feel that it
were wisest to pass up one before
we tackle, the other and spare our
selves the confusion incident to the
mixing of both. To that end we will
devote our individual interests to the
certain election Of Mr.. Taft to the
Presidency, leaving Mr.. Bryan that
portion which has always fallen to
him in matters Of this kind, and
after they are both logically and
comfortably bestowed in those situa-
tions to which wise Providence and
a Republican electorate shall have
called them, we will be in prime and
free shape to dispense the more ex-
acting duties that lie at Our mu6icipal
doors, andiset up,a new and Complete

P0stmastew General Won't Allow nalsv-
 cry to Charitable Organizations.
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 17--Postmas- ter General Meyer announced today that he would not renew his order Issued in December 1907 permitting delivery to charitable organizations of letters ads dressed to santa ClauS."
 Numerous complaints have been made to the Postmaster General by many charitable organizations that owing to the large number of such letters taken by the charities while the order was in forca, it was not possible to investigate each case and that presents given out, fell into the hands of unworthy pers sons. The practice also was objected to on the ground that it tended te make beggars of children.
 The Postmaster General has directed postmasteFs to treat the "Sants Claus'' letters in accordance with those see- tions of the postal laws which provide that letters bearing fictitious addresses shall be sent to the division of dead let- ters, unless the address of the sehders appear upon the envelopes. in which case the letters will be returned to such addresses. It Is estimated that moro than 50.000 letters are addressed by the children of the country to Santa Claus" annually.

 Grand.
 When a manager has the nerve to come to 8 good playhouse with com pany producing musical comedy, three different musical comedies in fact with prices ranging no higher than fifty cents for the best seat in the house, he stakes his theatrical reputa- tion In q mighty risk gamble. There have been managers who have pultad the almost certain failure out of the fire. for they had the entertainment without gorgeous effects in scenery and lights. All of which is but pre- liminary to noting that the Wayne Musical Comedy Company ia enc of the few companies who have turned what might prove failure into a success.
 'The White Hat" was the 'biIl to be presented by this gamey cosupAny. on it's opening night, and it went with q snap and vim. There were voices that were pleasing. songs that were as rood as one finds in most musical offer ingss and chorus that was exeelleutiy drilled. There was good scenery, anu the costumes were pleasing. What more could q body want for an enteF~ taininE evening?
 Now ID one supposss for s minute that . company playing at fifty cents has much of the magrafiesnce and elaborate staging Of the higher priced offerings, no one snpposes that such q eompany would have grand opera voices. but one can easily imagine that such company would furnish good entertainments Of course If you dou't believe. #. so Go the Grand tonight and see the presentation of The Cireas araT es '

 The circumstances of the threat are strangely similar to events surround inE the last few days of William Broadnax, the negro farmer who was shot and killed at his house on the Woodley Road near Montgomery sev- aral days ago. It Is believed that the note was written by negroes, as there Ia said to be absolutely no motive pos sessad by whites about Lapine to harm the negro.
