THE PRESIDENT.

The real friends OF Theodore
Roosevelt are not thinking for an in
stant that he will abandon his decla-
ration not TO be candidate for the
presidency again; nor are they lend
ing hand or word to the theory OF
his right or duty in such a premise,
Knowing him and respecting him and
the faith that moves him, they know
if, in some supreme hour. the voice
OF the people is raised in this behalf,
he will steadfastly turn from the over
lure and do what he has
said he will do. To believe anything
else of this man, is to dishonor him
and place him in the category of the
and the tuft, hunters of the
political cult; no man who actually
the courage and sanity
and high-purpose OF the President,
will entertain the idea longer than to
discount and deny it boldly,

WHAT WE VOTE FOR.

The people of Oregon. having as
sumed the power Of initiating and
passing their own laws, are bound by
the unacceptable and correlative obi
CATION to see to it that those laws are
duly considered, weighed and dispos-
ed OF at the polls. There must be no
faltering, no Sinking, no renigging;
these propositions are up for full and
final treatment and must receive it at
the hands that thrust them forward.
There are several grave, and many
important, issues involved in the list
and it is worth every mans while to
study them closely and vote with the
grace of good citizenship for, OF
against, them. They are above the
personnel OF the June ticket in many
ways; notably that the laws are pass.

by period, or the will of the elector-
ate. 1t is not safe to ignore the ref
erendum; it may contain elements OF
disorder and disruption, and defeat,
and again it may contain things that
mean, and make for, the peace and
freedom of the masses, and for the
curing of thousand ills. Therefore
it is supreme duty to scan it and
know what to do, how to differenti-
ate, and to Gull the blessings while
we ward and bar the evils. Go to it,
and begin the work of scrutiny and
segregation right now; you cannot
give the matter due thought in the
few moments you devote to the vot-

LEGAL RESISTANCE TO LAW.

The modern is, most unhappily,
iustifable in his concrete conclusion
that the science of the law is the legal
and successful resistance offered to
its direct operation; the scientifc
thwarting of its essence, and fact, with
the indisputably correct and effective
weapon taken from the same covers
that bind the law assailed. And this,
not with the mere use of sophistry,
plausibility, hair splitting and the
unctious and perverted handing OF the
law by its advocates before the bar,
but with the immense and varied line
of opinions that have come down from
the bench itself and are arrayed as
fundamental precedents, to the broad
divergencies of which and their inter-
minable and battling use in counter
acting each the other, the law must
look for the growing disrespect, if
not contempt, in which it is held by
the public.
"a man is innocent until he is
proven guilty" is an idyllic conclu-
sion that has long since lost its
inspired justice. 1t still holds in
many case and should be the car
dinal precept that guides the men
charged with the application of the

MURDER RAMPANT.

The murder-wave is running its
course over the land, and the majority
of the cases reported are OF the
lowest, most vicious and brutal sort.
1t looks as il one beastial crime in
spired the other and no man may say
where it will stop. There is no law
to subdue the normal passion that
lusts for the life of another, whatever
it may do for the dispassionate man
or the coward. Most men have their
limitations and recognize the check
Of law, public opinion, family shame,
or other deterring cause; but the man
with the primal spirit a1ame is un-
amenable and untamable ever.
Happily it is one of the rarest OF
crimes in this community. Astoria, as
a seaport city is very free from the
stain of murder, and has been for
years. And it is a good thing to be
free of; it commends any community
to the homeseeker and the investor
and counts largely in the general es-
timate held of the place. No man
knows, however, how soon the blasting
work will be done anywhere, nor how
to forefend against it; all that is LETT
in the terrible exigency is the fulfil
ment of the law and that has become
a gamble and featherweight in the
scales of justice, if the murderer hap
pens to possess the wherewithal
