THE POPULAR (REDO
Dimes and dollars! dollars and dimes!
An empty pocket's the worst of crimes!
If amen is down, why, give him a thrust
Trample the beggar into the dust!
Presumptuous poverty's quite appalling,
Knock him over, kick him for falling.
If a man is up, oh, lift him higher.
Your soul's for sale, aid he's the buyer!
The scarcity of labor and heavy rains
have resulted in many potatoe fields in the
Willamette valley remaining unharvested.
It is quite probable that the recent
insurance scandals will result in our next
legislature establishing a state insurance
commissioner for Oregon.
The new football rules have decreased
the death rate over previous years. Dur
ing the season just ended there have only
been 11 boys killed and 104 seriously
injured as against 18 kill.d and
159 injured during the 1 905 season.
The entire cost of making the survey
and estimates of the proposed Beaver
creek water pruject as shown by the fig-u-es
in the Recorders office only
amounted to $1245.81. That is certainly
very reasonable when everything is taken
into consideration.
The Standard Oil Company has been
ordered by the people of Astoria to take
its storage tanks from out the city within
one year. This edict comes from the
whole community, thru its legal agent,
the common council, and there remains
nothing but obedience or disobedience to
the mandate The law is plain, the
authority unimpeached, the popular sanc
tion assured; and the issue is strictly up
to the Standard Oil Company. There
are signs of rebellion on every hand, how
ever, and all the cunning and surreptitious
methods for which this concern is famous
the world over, are beginning work here
is derogation of this order from the people.
That the Standard Oil is a much bigger
thing than an an ordinary little city like
Astoria is not to be debated for an instant
it shatters the will of larger civic corpor
ations than.this with impunity and laughs
at governments infinitely greater and
stronger than this, but we believe in the
principle of the government by the major-
ity and hope that Astoria will stick to the
creed and compels observance of its
dictum. One of 'he active curses of the
day in this country is the dominance of
the commercial regime over the civic
power of the land, and even so small a
lesson as is involved in this case will have
the meat and merit of a precedent. One
human life is worth the last dollar of
public and private investment here, or
anywhere else, aside from the mainten
ance of a living principle of popular gov
ernment Gentlemen of the council, stick
to the text of your order! Astorian.

A proposition is one foot to appropriate
$100,000 to advertise Oregon. Properly
handicd this is a wise expenditure and
then let each county use their prerogative
of voting $1000 to individually supple
ment the work of the state board and
Oregon will soon become as well known
as the best of tnem. . For this is th
best state on the Pacific coast. The only
trouble is. the thousands who are coming
westward, are not conversant with the
resources of this great state.

j A Delicate Throat
H. A. Stantels :
Professor Hockenberry in his address
which we published yesterday certainly
gave the Normal schools of this state
something to think of. The people are
giving the Normal school quest on much
more careful cons deration than formerly.
The schools cost the taxpayers of this
state something like $ 1C0. 000 annually
and if the result of tnis large expenditure,
brings no better results, than that de
picted by Professor Hockenberry it is
certiinly a very poor investment.

Probably you haven't had any trouble for several
months, but you may have now.
Gool nights and snappy mornings may bring un
pleasant reminders of a delicate throat.
If you grow hoarse without any apparent reason, if
an ugly little hack arises, you need
SYRUP OF WHITE PIE AD TAR
at once. Diamond brand.
It soothes and heals. Best of all, it prevents those
severe spasms of coughing which are so likely to pro
soreness of the lungs.
25 and 50c a bottle. Money back if not satisfied.
