At last the work has been started for the improving of the road leading to the Point. This is a very Import ant movement, b Is the repairing of many other roads near the mill site. It 4s all important that the cHy should tiave fine roadways, but It Is Just as essential that the ones in fihe manu facturing districts should be Improv ed, Perhaps a movement In the direc tion of making these improvements would not be amiss. WORK IS SUCCESSFUL. The regatta committee at their last night meeting reported a very .suc cessful beginning. " The enterprising cltlwn have volunteered their ser vices and assistance end everything in connection with this movement seems to point toward & great success. Of Course there are a few whom never approve of anything In the line of im proving the city, but Astoria has suf ficient wide awoke people to carry out the program and greatly benefit the city. It is exceedingly pleasant to hear the different merchants speaking of the committeemen's work; and they are worthy of muchpraise as are the different people who are ever watchful of the city's welfare. THE QUALITT OF MERCT. - A few centuries ago hundreds of men In authority Christian men conscien tious men sat in Judgment o'n their conscientious brothers and sentenced them to the moat barbarous punish ments.. They sat by their victims and saw these sentences executed. They watch ed the writhing victims as their hands or feet were burned off, or their tongue torn out in punishment for some slight' infraction of laws which now seem absurd to us. We read of these 'things with a shud der. We say that these Judges and exeeutfloners must have been absolute ly pitiless and Inhuman eo!d-b!oodfd bruts 'in whom every gate of mer cy had been shut; and we pat our selves on the backs and rejoice that modern men ln'authorlty are. not as Judges of the Dark Ages were. And yet, as a matter of fact, those men were generally, in their s3cial relations and home life, men of as much gentleness and tenderness as you will see atoout you today. They were cruel and Implacable only toward thos? whom they had been taught to resard as malefactor. of the most dangerous type, whom it was their duty to wipe out of existence fn the most spectac ular manner possible. They honest ly believed they were doing the world a service. Men of today believe they were giv ing the people object lessons i brutal ity that held the civilized world in the thrall of blood-letting and bruiishnese for centuries; and yet it 1s an open question whether men lij authority in this year of our Lord 1S02 are, in their relations to the unfortunate under their control, at heart very much less harsh and cold-blooded than were the pitiless officials of old typified at their very blackest by Jeffreys and men of hi stamp. At any rate, we have to look about us to see that the eternal principle of universal brotherhood the natural corollary of the one Fath erhood is a plant of very, very slow growth. ' Nothing distinguishes a people's ad vancement in reil civilization the-clv-lllzatlon of the heart as well as of the head so much as the exercise of kindness e.nd compassion to the unfor tunate, the helpless and the undevel oped ones among them. It Is true we no longer scourge or kill the ..mentally deranged," the Im beciles, the Idiots among us; but we praotlcally Imprison them, and we place men In charge of them whose na tures almost Invariably ., undergo . a strang transformation after a few months of contact with their lrrespon ?iliile charges. - ed, our houses of correction, our or phan asylums, our penitentiaries? We !lnd th officials and attenAant al most Invariably bemlng calloused to human suffering, looking upon the younger brothers, th undeveloped ones In their charge, as Inferior beings, ihlnirs scarcely human, belonging to an order of animals apart from them- i wives, and not of their own kind. We see these various officials thrust- W Imbecile boys and girls Into dark cells, feedings them on bread and wat er, punishing them for offenses which their darkened Intellects cannot com prehend. We see prison wardens Imi tating Toivjuemada, Inducing their of fending charges to eat to repetlon, then administering powerful purga tives and lacing and strapping them up In the cruel straltjacket until their bowels burst and death comes after nfferings never exceeded on the rack of the spiked, steel ' maiden" In which malefactors' lives were crushed out In the old days. We see our officials who are, among their friend and etiuals, gentle and poHshed enough, nunlshlng the unfortunate orphans or idiots or demented Incapable under their control with all the cold-hearted cruelty of the savage overseers on the Southern plantation before the war. We see policemen clubbing the help les and unfortunate. We see 'the phy sicians and nurses becoming rt hardened-by constant association with hu man suffering as to laugh and Joke while they cut into the quivering hu man flejfli. We see" Jailers and prison guards In many Instances growing so callous to human suffering as to look upon the unfortunate ones In their charge as so many dumb cattle. There are shirking exceptians, but this is the rule. What is the reme dy? We believe the one great reme dy is education In the great principle of human brotherhood. More than anything else, men need to be taught from Infancy up the great law of kind ness to every living creature. In the meantime, however, society hould protect Its more unfortunate and helpless members from those who it places In authority, by making cruelty to these helpless ones a mfs demeanor, and In Us aggrevated forms a felony. Any man so calloused as to beat an insane patient or attempt to govern the feeble-minded through ffar and bodily suffering should be sent to the penitentiary for one year. Officials who do not show mercy and who do not recognize that con.r.ruc tion. educational work and not brute force is demanded of them, should In return receive little mercy at the hands of the public Ex.

If it is a strong, healthy baby that new world is a world of happiness. If it is a weak, fretful child the new world is full of anxiety. It baa been proven in thousands of cases, that the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion makes all the difference between strength and weakness in children. Healthy, happy mothers have healthy, happy 'children. "Favorite Prescrip tion " gives the mother strength to give her child. It makes the baby's advent practically painless and promotes the secretion of the nourishment necessary to the heaitbt'ul fceUiug of the nursing child.
