SANE OR INSANE

We are now on the eve OF another
Outbreak of SO called patriotism and
Saturday evening will determine
whether II Is TO be sane or an in
lsane celebration. In recent years ef-
forts have been put forth in various
sections OF the country to make the
IGelebration OF Independence Day a
sane celebration where the danger 10
life and limb is minimized. A ban has
been placed on certain kinds OF noise
making devices, but 80 far In most
instances the ban has refused TO
work. The work OF destruction has
gone merrily on and each year num-
bers have been added to the list OF
dead or injured as result OF the
desire to out-do all Others In de-
monstrating patriotism or OF giving
vent TO what relics of barbarism
cling TO US.
IL IL TO be hoped that the people
of Marion, old and young, will learn
from experience that the celebration
of Independence day consists In more
than blowing OFF hand or bursting
somebody else's ear drums with a
cannon cracker that is larger than
your neighbor set off few minutes
before 1t Is all right and proper to
show appreciation OF the blessings
which you enjoy as result OF the
action taken by your forefathers
mbore than hundred years ago. but
1t is not necessary to endanger your
own life or the lives Of others with
some dangerous weapon.

ANOTHER COCKTAIL

And now they are likely to name
a cocktail after poor old Governor
Andrew l.. Harris.
Vice president Fairbanks won fame
and a political grave at the same
time when he had served at banquet
for President Roosevelt, a few of the
mixtures in which is found at the
bottom Of the glass a nice red cherry
1t was not twenty-four hours until
the whole country knew that Fair
banks had served those drinks al
his table, but II has never yet been
proven "beyond a reasonable doubt
that he drank one Of the connections
himself. Fairbanks himself said that
he did not look at the cherry when
Iit was red and that he tasted not,
and handled not the palitable yet
deadly stuff. Others said that Roose-
lyelt had made the request for the
cocktail and yet others blamed 1t all
onto neighbor woman who came in
and noted that there was none OF the
stun that cheers to be seen on the
table.
With Governor Harris, however, 1t
lis claimed to be an entirely different
proposition. Rumors say that at the
outing given to the state officials and
the candidates on the state ticket by
the Stamina Republican League, at
Coney island, near Cincinnati, re-
Gently. that the governor started with
a cocktail OF the same variety as the
one which made Fairbanks famous
and not content with that experience
he followed up with some of the ex-
ira dry stuff which is most innocent
In It's taste and yet IS possessed OF
those qualities of stlck-to-it-active-
ness which insures success In its mis-
sion.
What the result may be, no one can
say. With Fairbanks It means a col
lapse OF his boom for the presidency
but with Governor Harris 1t will be
different proposition. The boom in
his case has fully developed but the
Is not over.

Monster ooryna.

Interesting Information regarding
huge gorillas OF hitherto unknown
species has been obtained by Eugene
Bresseaux, a French official and ex-
plorer from northern Africa. One of
these strange monsters was shot by
one of the officials sharpshooters.
The animal measured feet 6
inches In height, was feet In width
across the shoulders and weighed
720 pounds. One of the hands, when
dismembered, weighed six pounds.
II required the united efforts of
eight native soldiers to drag the
dead body of the beast from the
point where II was killed to the
French residency at Quessou, the ad-
ministrative center of central Sang
ha. The animal was here skinned
and buried.
Reports have been received fire.
quently of the presence of these big
creatures in the upper valleys of
Lonani and Sangereh, but hitherto
1t had been impossible to come to
close quarters with them. According
to native reports, however, the ami
mails are usually ferocious, not hesi-
tating to attack caravans during
their passage through the country.
These gorillas differ essentially
from others. The ears are small, the
shoulders and thighs are covered
with dense and long black hair, while
the chest and stomach are almost
bare. 1t is believed that they belong
to species that has not heretofore
been seen by white men.

Lincoln, Neb., July lit was a
lsweaering July night In Chicago in
1896. Delegates, spectators and news
paper men were petulant and ex-
hausted. The silver men were In

gold men were putting up a fight.

Democratic party's nominee for the
presidency The noise In the hall was
80 great that II was difficult for even
trained newspaper men to keep track
Iof what was going on.
i the midst OF the confusion a
young, smooth-faced delegate from
the West stepped TO the platform to
make few remarks. One OF the
men turned to veteran
washington correspondent and In
aiured: ''Who the hell is that?"
"Oh, he's a dub Congressman from

out in the very core of her congested
commercial field, in the very center
of block, surrounded on all sides by
wooden walls, dry as finder and as
amenable to ignition as the material
at the seat of the trouble, difficult OF
access, through narrow spaces, over
gangways and through close alleys
and avenues; yet the fremen went to
the heart of the situation and stayed
there, working expertly and success

ALL FOR GOOD ROADS.

Up in Portland yesterday there
were assembled something over a
hundred very intelligent gentlemen
from all over the State Of Oregon,
foregathered in the interest of good
roads throughout the State; and the
session ought to yield conspicuous
and gratifying results. There is no
more imperative scheme OF public
expansion and improvement than this
of roads. and no roads in the North
west more amenable TO consideration
and treatment than the Oregon roads
with Clatsop's fairly in the lead
We are doing much year by year in
this behalf, but if we can advance our
system of handling and preparation
and maintenance, and make it con-
form to the best in other localities,
we shall have taken long step in one
of the most commanding elements OF
Our inter-communication policies, the
cheapest methods OF neighborly touch
and business and general intercourse
known to man, and one which he will
never abandon, whatever the progress
made in rail, water and air transpor,

KEEP TAB ON MoUTHERS.

Frank Hitchcock, the supreme
manager of the Republican presiden-
tial campaign has inaugurated clev-
er scheme to rate and register the
effectiveness of the orators who are
to be sent out over the land in be-
half OF Mr.. Taft and keep sharp tab
on their efficiency and specific facul-
ties, to the end that the best may be
utilized at points where they are most
needed and that the whole bunch may
be tabulated and disposed wisely and
effectually.
The idea is suggestive OF univer
sal proposition to keep close tab on
all the mouthers, especially in the
smaller and local sense OF the brag
CARTS and blow-hards who infest ev-
cry community in the land to the
general unahppiness and disfavor and
discomfort of those who have to
live in touch with them.
If every community would set up a
board of censors with autocratic
power of declaring and publishing
these abominable nuisances, it might
tend to the wide relief and peace OF
those who suffer socially, CONNER
cially, and generally, from their ever
lasting yawp. The irresponsible
mouther, the man who butts in with
his lip and tongue and his half-baked
estimates Of men and plans and pros
poets, is among the worst OF all
known communal evils. Astoria has
him, with a plentitude that is as un
fair as it is insuferable.

IRON grave loss,
The demonstration is fatty in IA
vor Of an abated rate all over the city
and there should be no let-up until II
is secured. Nor is Astoria the only
place where such consideration is
due; there is not town in the North
west that is not amenable to sharp

the imposition is so glaring that the
marvel is that there is not broad

1t would seem that in spite OF the

coming deeper and more significantly
oppressive all the time, and it is up
to the people to take their cue from

JAPAN's GOOD WILL.

Japan is taking timely steps to heal
the sore places created in the Amer
ican mind by her bombastic yearn'
ers after war that was one OF the con
spicuous results Of her late entangle-
ment with Russia. Every word that
comes from the Island Kingdom
these days is fraught with friendliness
for the United States and the old
sense of uneasiness that was so ap-
parent on both sides OF the Pacific a
year or more ago, has subsidized to a
point where each land is looking
gladly and willingly to the other Tor
good will and mutual understanding.
1t is an excellent change OF senti-
ment.. The two countries are bound
to have much in common through the
wears to come, commercially and dip
lomatically, and if happy predicate
can be established for the interchange
of these large and commanding al
fairs, it were we'll to lay it now and
in such fashion that its disruption
shall be difficult and undesired by the
peoples at interest. Every friendly
national tie is another barrier against
the senseless commercial wars tha
spring all too quickly and disastrous
ly in these days Of "bargain-counter'
