MAN AND STANDARD.

In the coming season OF man
worship in which we Americans are
about to indulge with quadrennial
uproar and confusion, it may be well
to look to the standards that have
been set for the Presidency and try
to adhere to them in the great parties
OF selection and election.
The gift is immeasurably greater
than it has been for years, by reason
of the extraordinary latitude OF in
Auence it has acquired at the hands OF
Mr.. Roosevelt. Great as it has always
been since the days of Washington,
the Office is, today, more formidable
more impressive, more exacting; OF
profounder quality in power and in
representative strength; the electo-
rate behind is vaster, more erllighten-
ed, prouder and more insistant upon
the popular prerogative; and the man
Who takes it over on the 4th of March

edge of the higher and better stand

SOMETHING DoINGl"

Half of Astoria is unconscious of
the steady growth and expansion she
is making; not one man in zoo of the
population knows anything about the
ratio OF her home building (Which.
by the way, is of the very essence OF
her stability; and this is not fair,
either to the city, nor to himself.
We are all creatures Of habit; we
pass to and from our own homes and
businesses, day by day, over one un-
changing route; only at the rarest do
we diverge and take our way to and
through neighboring localities, and
become aware of the wide range of
improvement and real investment; we
note the new house, or barn, or gar
age our next-door neighbor is putting
up; and we note what is done on
Commercial street, or Exchange, or
Bond, downtown. And when we get
UP and out on the great hills on a
sunny Sunday and begin to take
notice, we realize that since we were
on an excursion last year, it's no
trouble at all to count the 40, or so or
100 new homes and houses that have
gone up in a given territory. The
revelation is pleasant one; but it
should not be so much of revela-
ton; we should know more OF it as 1t
transpires and talk it and pass it cur,
rent, so that the stranger in Astoria
shall know it and take it away with
him, as one of the cardinal things we
are sure of and proud Of.
The home-area of city is just a:
important as her business-area and
the well-informed citizen, in justice
to his business and its future, should
be able to tell so important a truth
as the steadfast record of Astoria''
home-building for lo07-o, reveals.
The home-owner and home-buildei
is far oftener the permanent citizer
that the mere business man.

half, relatively, better than that Of

Fer Saloon Substitutes.
The Chicago Interior Is demanding
that the towns which put the saloon
out OF business provide some substi-
tute, as 1t believes that the eviction
OF one evil only makes room for an
other. Says the editor, ''The honest
human thing to do is to recognize the
fellowship instinct as normal and ma
tive to men Of every rank and in a
class of men where 1t has related it
self to vice not to attempt to suppress
1t, but to provide for its right exer-
cise.' Some feasible substitutes sug
gested are to organize Young Mems
Christian association or to revive an
existing branch; also to start a pleas
ant restaurant where wholesome
foods are served at moderate prices
and where it is always permitted to
customers to loaf and chat. Finally
he proposes that the churches make
their socia bles really attractive and
full Of friendliness instead Of a means
for raising money.

was attended by thousands of teachers
from all parts Of the country. A popu-
lar feature Of the first day was the
spelling match in which teams of pu-
pills from different cities contested with

land team won, and fourteen-yea r-old
colored girl was the champion with a
perfect score. Her name is Marie Boil
den. Another girl, Mae Thursby of the
Pittsburg team, also had a perfect
score, but her team ranked second in
the contest. New Orleans was third
and Erie fourth The Cleveland schools
had challenged the schools of the coun-
try.

teachers to have the federal govern
ment take a larger part in the educa-
tional affairs Of the nation
