A word to the wise. The fiery Don Carlos, the man who Is willing to be king of Spain when every body else g-eta through with her. aye Spain ahovild have eough a "casus belli" with the 1'nlted States a year ago, and bombarded New York. You see, the rea- .cm o only Just found out that we were not ready then. Perhaps they would have done fo had they known It. but Spaniards never lake the Initiative. It Is "T-imor- Dw, tomorrow." always with them. The Astoria Progressive Commercial as eoiiatlon Is to be congratulated on its success in securing the aid of so scientific tt man as It. C. Judson of the o. R. & N. Co. In developing our latent resources. The first subject considered, that of co operative dairying. Is peculiarly adapted to this county, or rather our county and climate are peculiarly adapted to the en terprise. The plan proposed Is a simple and effective one, and the association Is going to see that It Is soon put Into operation. In one district of Minnesota there are twenty-two of these co-operative creameries whose deposits of profit made Into the bank averaged per month. With one-half the labor and ex pense here even better results can be produced. Another thing In connection with this scheme not to be forgotten I the fact that with such a rich plum in . . . .... . .. . sight our larmers win ne aouoiy urg'-u " I push their slow city brothers t the pitch of building good r ad-n!l roads lead to Rome, and a!! roads in Clats cp will soon lead to the new cr-anvry wh-- the fnrnnr will receive a large his buttir fat Instead of a loss on th. milk pens or a milk h has to p-il lle about with ex-, sive teams ae.-r cringing u in .en I or a dozen mib-s from th- country in a , Meant r. - j Srri'ORT THE LEADER. j I The people of the I'niti-d States b. -liev-In the presldml of the United Stat.s. They have faith in his integrity, In his patriotism and in his sense of justl e. His conservatism Is a strong feature of his character. That quality is necessary to success In a h!gh and responsible pub lic station. It r.-.-inim"ii-l-d him for nomination In the St. Louis convention, and It was an influential f u-t-T in his election at the polls. In dialing with th- Cuban ijuestion th president has been slow und cautious. Popular feeling has more than once b'-en offended. A iirtuin impatlenie had grown up which Mood tip-toe at the time th' message recommending lnt-rv niion was pent to (ongress. 'I hat document In it conclusion disappointed the popular desire and expectation. Congress di-cidid on the case, tin- presi dent accepted It as tin.'t!, issij., an ulti matum to Spain wliii-li that nation ac cepted us a declaration of war. our min isters Were r calbd from Spain and Cuba, Spanlcli mlnlst'-rs at Washington w-r'-glven their passports. ;i-tua! w-.ir b sail und yestirday i-ongr.-ss Issm-l a formal declaration of war against Spain ;i- notice to the world. The president will act in iiccordance Ihorctvith. He will stand for the country In .'ill that is to follow; and If he Is to render good h-.rvict- to the country 'he country must loyally and Jlrmly hold up his hands. The change ot conditions from peace to war does not find him unprepared. He knows what war Ih; known with what vlor it must be prosecuted in order that success, may be nchleved. The president is our leader, and lie Is well chosen. Let us stand by him with all confidence and assistance. The gp nt ent of our wars the civil war was fought under the leadership of one of thu gen tlest spirits that ever Inhabited a human frame. He wa3 patient, forbearing and low to strike, but when hostilities began he carried them forward with a pi-r- alstnm-e and an energy that were suh llme. "The hr.ivet are Ihe tendeden; The lovitiK are the daring." A war for humanity, for liberty, its agalnat brutality and oppression, could not lx fought under a man more typical of the cause than William Mckinley. i .km-:hai. yi:yi.i:u m tut mih;.
