TO reside a period of 50 years in a 'community, watch Its growth and con tribute to Its development, and to at tain an age bordering on the century mark, then to die in a hospital, .with ut friends or relates at one's bed. side and be' buried at the expense of the county, was the fate of Andrew Klser, the man who was Interred in the potter's Held of Clatsop county yes terday. The story is deep tragedy in taal life, and brings to the surface the peculiar conditions that environ SO' cial life today. When a man reaches the age of 90 years It la fair to presume that he has outlived his usefulness. If he has been an Industrious, thrifty man, ever look ing Ahead, anticipating the approach ing days of senility, he will have made provision .for the period of tottering helplessness, but It is not always the Improvident that And themselves mon eyless when the sunset of Ufe is reached , Some men are beset through life by cruel fate, yet they struggle oh and on, with never a thought of surrender. They are the optimists In life, the peo ple who look for the golden strands In the sullen sky, the plodders who seek for ttoe silver lining to the lower ing clouds. And they are useful citi aens, despite their personal faults, which may be numerous. They are the pioneers, the men who builded the great Republic. Fifty years ago Clat sop county was not quite so thriving a community as it Is today. When Andrew Kiser came to Clatsop county be saw nature-chaos where municipal order now exists. He, no doubt, did ' his share, perhaps uneonsclously.to de velop the resources of the county, to build it up and set It out on the road to future greatness with all the good wishes for its future prosperity and faith in Its career of which the gener ous heart and mind' of the German Im migrant was capable. It is fair to presume that aged An drew Kiser never dreamed of Interment in the potter's field. The tragedy of his life reached a climax at his death. The barometer that registers failure, the CUTIGURA SOAP The World's Greatest Skin Soap. The Standard of Every Nation of the Earth. Sale Greater Tlian the World's Prciuct of Other Sim Soaps.

Sin Francisco, tattle, Portland, Lot Anjclts and Dtavcr, Colorado. spectre of forgotten existence, of life dependent on charity, of barren fail ure, is In the denouement, all recorded tn the funeral of the pauper, the la terment in the potter's field. In life we revere our soldier veterans, In death we honor their memory. But what of the pioneers, the veterans who left oth er legacies to posterity? A NEW TORK man has adopted new method of showing hate for wo men.-' He kisses them. A peculiar circumstance in connection with the demonstration of his hate is that the iirst woman with whom he engaged In osculatory exercise was named Mrs Kiss. She kissed him in return, with her little clenched fist on his "organ of smell." IT is more than probable that absent Police Commissioner Cook Is active In police circles In South America. We appreciate the fact that he is an active man, but all the same believe that his first duty Is to Astoria, which has the first claim on his services. In other words, we saw him first. 'SENSATION in the diet" Is the headline on a telegraphic dispatch from abroad. The article has nothing to do with the compontent parts of boarding house hash, or other table del icacies, even though it says "Deputy Papp declines to accept pap." A KENTUCKY woman has discov ered a new use for the telephone. Wish ing to visit a neighbor, she pulled the baby's crib up In front of the telephone opened the receiver and told central If the baby began to cry to, call her up at the neighbors. ALFRED G. Vanderbilt has been elected a constable of Middletown, L. I., to enforce the automobile law. There is as much irony In this as In the election of a democratic ticket in Astoria under the guise of a citizen's Platform. AS for the police commissioners, the city attorney and chief of police wish it to be understood that the absence of Commissioners Kopp and Cook from the city makes no difference whatever to the city attorney and chief of police. TOMORROW night the contest for queen of the regatta vloses. It is un derstood that friends of the leading candidates have engaged all the ex press wagons in the city to carry the final votes to the committee rooms. HAVE you voted for queen of the regatta yet. There is only one more day after today to give your choice support that counts. The last day will undoubtedly see all kinds of votes cast. WHEN the new Hiiirie mill Is readv for operation Astoria may cut arjoHIefl notch in her forward maretf record. New mills defined means new pay rolls. JUSTXiecause his name is Kopp does accord him the privilege of con tinuing as a cop commissioner now that he has taken residence in a foreign state. , THE suicide club of Hoboken, N. J., Is rapidly going out of existence. Three members have lately conformed to the rules and regulations. ONK of the colored bretherfi ob serves that "Satan ain't no wolf in sheep's clothing, but de wolf what done eut up de sheep." THEN again, the city attorney has enough work on his hands without adding the duties of police commission er to his public and private piuctice. GOOD morning, have you voted for regatta queen yet?
