A BREATHING SPELL.

Oregonians are to have q breath
ing spell Of at least 20 months from
the turmoil and exactions Of politics,
This is an especially grateful conclu-
sion after the miserable hasco at
Salem in Tuesday. We need a long
and unhampered season Tor thought,
for the weighing OF men, of meas
ures, of causes and effects, of blum
ders, OF policies and pleas and the
safer course Of procedure that shall
re-invest the Republican party with
the confidence OF the people and
their spontaneous support. We might
as we'll face the situation with the
courage wrought OF disaster and
make the mos, and best of the les
sons al hand.
There is something radically
wrong. That is beyond all cavil and
denial We must go honestly to the
bottom Of our weaknesses and tone
our organism up to standards thar
have been forsaken in the littler pur-
suits; and with a score OF months to
iathom the depth of folly and fratri-
cidal politics, we should be able to
solve the problem and apply the
curative courses that shall make for
rehabilitation and normal influence.
Numerically we are in the saddle"
constructively and potentially, we
are on the ground and in danger OF
being paved to death.
Our plight abroad is not very much
better than it is at home. We have
not any too cordial a footing at
Washington, and are not likely to
have better for the next your years
There is much to do, and fortunate
ly plenty Of time to do it. Only, we
must get nearer to the popular side
Of things and stay there; we are to
cultivate better political wisdom
and truer conception of what the
people really want and form our
judgments with less reliance upon the
old and worn-out party preeepts and
predicates. This is the 10th century
and the people still live as we have
been taught to our sorrow and self
contempt as a party.

For weeks upon weeks the heavy

of the Punt and Puntpoie was looking
very blue. Indeed, those two straw
HATED, miserable looking objects out
in the Lakeswash canoe were the only
visitors Of the season. The hotel pro
prietoF gloomily watched their clumsy
endeayors 70 navigate their tiny craft
Suddenly, plop, splosh! 'Help" In a
moment the hotel proprietor had
changed from a sluggish do-nothing TO
frenzied rescuer. Putting out rapid
ly in boat, he succeeded in reaching
the terrified men just at the critical
moment.
"Oh. thank you-thank your they
cried as they scrambled into the boat.

SAFETY WITHIN THE LAW.


There is safety within the law for
an men; especially for those whose
daily pursuits and business are pre-
scribed by the law; and the whole
soonest course any ard all can pursue
is that line ,shNh trayerses the inner
range and intent cl the legal statl,e,
ordinance and principle set up for
us all.
Familiarity with these prescr.ptiye
regulations has been known to breed
a certain indifference, if not CON
tempt, among those whose recourse
10 them has been irksome and who mis-
construe or underyalue them; and this
is especially true of civic ordinances,
These laws are often looked upon
specifically, as Of lesser importance
and force than the statutes for in
stance; but as to original intent,
efficacy, and potency, within their
peculiar range. they are of as vital
and obligatory essence as any other
laws, and are entitled to the same
consideration on all sides, including
the citizen as well as the admins
tratiye agent.
They are the near-bulwark Of a
given constituency; they are the
aegis of millions Of property; they
are the 6rst recourse Tor relief and
protection Of person, place and
property; they are the closest rules
Of action to the people they effect
and finally. they have the same iden-
teal sanction that invests the ulti-
mate law of the land. Upon such
predicate, they are entitled to far
stricter Interpretation and observ-
ance than they are wont to get,
1t has been hinted that certain of
the Astoria ordinances have been
subject to this Indifferent handling at
the hands of councils in the past;
that this matter is recognized by the
officers and councilmen in success
sion and that decided change is to
be wrought in the strict construc-
ton and exploitation Of the ordi-
nances. This is excellent and timely
and will be widely and promptly ap-
proved by the people here.
