THE SITUATION IN OHIO.
The" Orcgonran takes Issue with
Congressman Dick, chairman of the re
publican state centra committee of
' Ohio, In his reply to a challenge on the
part of the democratic organisation for
a joint debate between John H. Clark
and Hark Hanna. Among the reasons
pointed out by Charmaa Dick for not
accepting the chi-Uenge, Is the lack of
harmony in the democratic ranks.
leaving the republican candidate to
guess at what Issues are to be met and
what Is to be done with the discarded
democratic theories. The republicans,
the. Oregonlan says, are divided pre
cisely as the democrats are and that It
Is discreditable if a party be not divid
ed. The Oregonlan ' has never been
known as a rock-ribbed republican
paper and usually is courageous in
giving utterance to Its convictions, as It
does in this case. The contrast pre
sented in the position taken by Con
greesmanDick and that assumed by the
s Portland paper te of Interest, coming
from the source it does. The reply of
Dick Is but the words of Hanna, speak
ing through the former as chairman
of the republican state central com
mittee. Hanna is nothing if not an
organization man. It may not be
strictly accurate to classify the Ore
gonlan as anti-organisation, but It Is
true that it is more of an obstruction
than aid to party organization. The
Hanna idea is to get together, concede
end compromise on a platform of
principles and "stand pat." The Ore
goniaa has never felt as active political
leaders feel the necessity of making
roncesskms for the sake of united ef
fort. It can see no virtue in Foraker
and Hanna agreeing to work together,

TSE QUESTION OF DECLINE. .
TSfi r many who believe that
frwsw ef ae great nations of today are
!rafcfy well on toward the decline of
life. Spain is in her dotage. France
is 4c4eoL. Germany has only been
saved! from 1' decline by the great com
mercial activity that has burst out
there in the fast decade or so. China,
the Wethasel-A of nations, has lived
time out of mind in her dotage. The
causes leading to these cataclysms that
are apparently pulling down some of
the great nations of modern times as
easily as a virulent disease drags an
emaciated wreck of a man into on un
timely gave were probably insidious I
poisons Injected into the body politic
hundreds, or perhaps a thousand years
ago.
Political economists and far-seeing
statesmen. of England observe in the
conditions of society there ore many
things causing the greatest apprehen
sion for the future of the nation. One of
these is the alarming increase of the
drink habit among women of England
within the past tew years. In fact, it
ems that a very contagion of drunk
enness has broken out among the
poorer classes tf women, and ulso
among the very wealthy in some parts
of the kingdom, notably London. The
Daily Express says: 'The number of
drunken women apprehended In 1902
was nearly double the number for 1901,
and they have a4ready cost the rate-

payers S9,000." Fremont Older, a San
Francisco Journalist, now traveling in
England, says it is ik unusual thing
for a workingman to come home at
night, after a day of hard toil to find
his home dark and his vvife In the lock'
up.' He considers the drink question
more Important to England just now
than either free trade or protection,
or the educational bill, or the thousand
and one other issues which agitate the
public.
C00$ BAY TRADE.
The Coast Mall of Coos bay announ
ces that E. J. Holt, manager of the
California and Oregon Coast Steamship
Company is considering the matter of
giving better .iervic between Coos bay
and the Columbia river. The Mall fav
ors the extending of encouragement to
Manager Holt and prophesies that an
other steamer on the run would have
the effect of diverting trade from San
Francisco to Portland, but it does not
believe it incumbent on the Coos Bay
people to givo a bonus
"The sentiment here," says the Mall,
"is that if Portland wants our trade we
will treat her with the greatest consid
eration, but we are nrft going to break
out necks to give it to her. We have
nothing to gain by switching from the
market which takes all our surplus
products, and it Is up to Portland to do
the sweating over thai trade situation.
If Portland would buy our coal for fuel
which she might very well do.that
would furnish northbound freight for
more than one steamer on the route,
and It would be an exhibition of reci
procity that would attract our buyers.
But so long as the trade Is all one-sided
and altogether to Portland's profit,
Portland would b?tter do whatever
guaranteeing is required.
That's precisely what the proposition is. Not something for nothing but actual
value for one-third of what the same goods would cost you elsewhere.

WHAT A CLERGYMAN THINKS..
Astoria, Ore., Sept. 21, 'OS
I have been requested by The As
torian to write a recommendation of a
work entitled "Life and Life-work of
Pope Leo XIII." by J. J. MoGovern. D.
D. It Is a pleasure to comply with this
request. In this volume we find con
densed In compact form, all ths facts
of interest in the life of the great
world-rlgure concerning whom it treats.
Tt ts preeminently a practlcul biogra
phy. Intended for the busy man with
little time to spare; it displays an In
sight Into the great pontiff's career
which denotes the close observer and
careful student on the part of com
piler. No man, be he a Catholic or a
non-Catholic, can lay claim to a
thorough knowledge of ths politic!,
social, religious history ot the last
quarter of the nineteenth century,
who Is Ignorant of the life and work
of Leo XI It. This volume will In a
measure, furnish a key to ths secret
of the deceased pontiff's wonderful
success and Influence In the world at
large. Author pays special at
tention to Leo's attitude towards ths
I'nlted States. The chapter devoted
to a consideration of "Leo XIII and
Education" and "Activities in Ilchalf
of Labor" aro very timely. Ths even,
non-polennlcal tone of the volume re
comtrcnj It alike to believer and un
believer. The perusal of this book
must needs prove uplifting.
Ths typographical work Is well dons
and the Illustrations are highly Inter
esting, considering the price for
which the volume Is offered It Is all
that could be desired. We bespeak for
this work a wide circulation.

The price of coal has been advanced

wood has become a luxury. It gets

the big strike the production was only
auout 3i,oog,ooo tons. In 1901 it was
53,o6S,Col tons.
As it would hardly be fair to old subscribers to offer any or all of these valuable works to new subscribers, sineo there is no increnite in the prieo of the paper,
The Astorian, in a spirit of fairness, hereby extends the same privilege to its old subscribers and invites them to step into the ofllco and secure for $1.00 one ot
these $3.00 books. Bear in mind that we mean exactly what we say in referring to the very limited number of books in the consignments.
