The back yards and not a few of the front yards in Astoria come under the category of nuisances. The removal of them has- been delegated to civic improvement leagues by common con- aent The necessity of putting up with a certain amount of annoyance from the doings of neighbors and the duty in turn of refraining, so far as can be reasonably expected, from annoying them, are inevitable offsets to the ad vantages of living in closely settled communities. When such annoyances exceed what ought reasonably to be endured under the conditions normal to a given community, they are consid ered nuisances, and the community has the right and the power to stop them. A nuisance, generally speaking, re sults from any action, or neglect of duty, by which any one, in the pursuit of bis own ends and otherwise within I his own rights. Interferes abnormally and unreasonably with the rights of others. What is to be regarded as abnormal and unreasonable depends wholly upon the standards and circumstances of the period and the community as inter preted by the courts. The legal ques tions involved are often perplex ing, the methods of procedure for se curing the abatement of the various kinds of nuisances are manifold, and people have a very healthy and proper disinclination to Involve themselves in litigation over nuisances. They would rather brave the ills they have than fly to others thafc they know not of. Thus a community often suffers in the ag gregate a very great ana altogether unreasonable amount of discomfort and material loss from the selfish action of some of its members before rousing itself to the point of securing relief. It is common sense and the principles of tha common law that determine what the courts may hold to be nuisances. No ordinance or legislative enactment is needed to enable the courts to pro tect people against a practice which Is a nuisance at common law, and It is at least doubtful whether a practice which is not a nuisance according t the principles of common law can be constitutionally declared a nuisance by any enactment or ordinance. The vast numbers of statutes and ordinances dealing with nuisances are mainly for the purpose of calling attention to cer tain kinds of nuisances, explaining what they are. and, more especially, providing administrative machinery for their abatement. It cannot be too clearly borne in mind that the essential question Is at what point an annoyance becomes so unreasonably offensive as properly to constitute a nuisance. That Is a ques tion that, in case of doubt, must be decided by the courts. But any one possessed of sound Judgment, common sense, and a knowledge of the condi tions and standards of life normal to! the community, ought usually to be able, If he can only divest himself of personal prejudice, to recognize wheth er a given practice is properly a nui sance or not. - -o 0 0 I 9 o 0 0 0 0 r 0 9 0 a SENSATIONAL CLOTHING NEWS!

Hon. C. W. Fulton is about the only Pacific coast senator who favors tar iff revision. His attitude on this im portant question receives the com mendation of a large majority of the people of Oregon. It is only a question of a very short time when Mr. Fulton will be one of the most influential members of the United States senate. The following dispatch from Washing ton shows that he Is climbing the lad der of fame and will soon be one of the foremost men in the nation: ' It was learned today that Senators Alen and Kean, who are ln line for the chairmanship of the committee in claims in the next congress, do not de sire this place. If so, that opens the way for Senator Fulton, notwithstand ing that he Is next to the last repub llcan member. Warren, the present chairman, goes to public buildings and grounds; Stewart Is not re-elected, Clapp will go to Indian affairs, and Burnham will prefer his present committee, Cuban relations. The only othor senator ranking Fulton is Burton of Kansas, who for obvious reasons will not be ln line for the chairmanship. This would make It appear that, when he enters upon his third year in the senate, Fulton will hold one of the most desirable chairmanships of that body, very rapid promotion for a new man." o price 60c, guaranteed. COAL OIL TANKS. At a meeting of the chamber of com merce Monday night, President Welch called attention of the chamber to the BE NOT CURIOUS. While the recent theological utter ances of Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott have been widely commented upon and are still being discussed, the cause. Is not in the man but In that indistinguish able curiosity of man regarding the great mysteries of time and eternity, Dr. Abbott has a way of getting into the papers at Intervals. His definition of God as "One great, eternal, under lying Cause, a great energy, an Intel Hgent energy," is not new. If he could show that he has special facilities for giving the world Information on this subject his definition would be worthy of more attention than it Is now entitled to. The fact remains that Dr. Abbott knows no more about God than does the organ blower in his church. He has merely framed in his inner con sciousness a number of phrases as Written by an Astorian to the popular Tune of MY OWN UNITED STATES" You need a pair of Men's, Women 'a or Children's SHOES , Honest, Durable rcs For less money than you hove been paying try First National Bank of Astoria ESTABLISHED 1886 Capital and Surplus $100,000 The Papers boast of many towns, Chicago and Nev York, Parisian styles, its marble Piles, Old Ireland's town of Cork; Of Portland and Its coming Fair, And 'Frisco, Victoria.
