Some people of Astoria minvntrietl the intent and nieauhu; of article-published some time gg,, relative to Sunday observam. The selti.h business man was implied with the idea that it was taking away from him his rijrht to make a livinjr. particularly was this true of the saloon men, but this was not the mo tive that actuated the production of the editorials on the question of Sunday ob servance. Everything, it is said, is creat ed tor the food of mankind. Experience in the ages of the long ago demonstrated that man needed one day of rest, and It was decreed by Moses that Sunday should be set apart as a day of rest. It did not necessarily imply that people should attend divine worship in the var ious churches. Man may worship Cod in natures fields, by babbling brooks, on the velvetly green mountain side, but it is essential to human happine that at least one day in the week be devoted to family and relief from business cares and turmoils. Fundamentally, there is but one gospel, the proclamation of the fact that love and goodwill are at the heart of the uni verse. But that gospel has many inter preters. Its highest expression is in human Iffe, fpr. as the poet Whittier has eewdisaiijj The dear Lord's best interpreters " j A 1 . uuiuuie uuman sou is, The gospel like a life like theirs ' : Is more than books and scrolls." And there was one life centuries ago in the world which by common consent bod ed forth most perfectly this gospel of love and good will. And of that perfect expression there were several interpre ters. Mathew put upon it a coloring of Jiis own, and so did Mark and Luke and Johkh : But there are other renderings of the ' gospel, too, apart from books and apart from lives, and as the glory of June days come upon us, as the sky is like saphire over heads, as the long golden summer days possess the earth and bird and flower and shrub and tree make their special contributions to the one enchant ing impression we are worse than the lower animals if we, too, do not feel a thrill of hope such as comes only with June. June's gospel is one of life. The bud ding, blossoming world about us makes death, and dec-ay seems out of place in this universe. When a branch is alive to its very tips, when the meadows are car peted with living green, when the birds stretch their little throats to pour forth their melody, we know that the end of all being is life and not death. This is what man was made for, not for winter, not for the grave. And June's gospel is one of beauty, transient, it is true, but almost supernal while it lasts, with its eonstant appeal to the eye through the blending of harmonious colors The busi ness man of Astoria who will deny him self all of these pleasures, either posses ses selfish instincts, or a love of gain in this world's goods, which makes him in sensible to the beauties of nature. If there is a county on the coast that is more resplendent with nature's bount eous offerings than Clatsop, it must in deed lie a veritable garden of eden. Even a stroll to the top of the hills surround ing the city presents a panoramic view tf nature unsurpassed for beauty and grandeur. The man that will not take bis wife and children out fields, lieside the cool mountain streams a stroll through the vine dud hills and dales, is missing some of the grandest tipportunitics and golden moments of his life. The old bishop in Victor Hugo's im mortal story. '"Lea Miserables," when re monstrated with for taking so much in terest in his beautiful garden, replied. "The beautiful is also useful." And that lesson we too, need to leard, that all the rich golden beauty of this finest month of the year is meant to serve the life of man. What wonder then that June should I Ruinations ami reunions? .Nature is at the flood tide of her joyous life. VPhy should tlie heart of man be sad! For a man to live through the thirty days of June and not become a better man is to be gvwprl-hardcned iudeed. He need not go for from the scene of his daily la bors. Five minutes walk to Coxcomb hill and he can look into an Italian skv. He can open ears and eyes to the mira cles which nature is daily working along his pathway. And if he has tired a lit tle or become indifferent to the gospel according o the churches or the gospel according to the books of theology; if the ringing of the church bell has no charm for him let June speak through its manifold voices, through its quickly pass ing scenes of lovliness All that is best within him will he stirred to reverence if he will but listen. Close the saloon on Sunday and give one day in the week to the studv of nature and nature's god. Take a day of rest for your own benefit and for the benefit of mankind. Sunday observance is elevating, its influence refining; it is the law of God, of the state and of the Can the Oregonian say as much? If the men are guilty they are deserving of pun ishuient, but if innocent they should be restored to their former intuitions iu the affair of state and in the heart of the people. They should not be con victed by a newspaper because it pos sesses the power and influence. All men are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights, such as life liberty and pursuit of happiness, and this having been guaranteed to them by the declaration of independence, ough not to ne overturned by a newspaper for political revenge. 0 SUNDAY REFLECTIONS.

To fail in high aim after earnest anil honest fFfort and mankind for their own good and for the glory of GikL WILL APOLOGY SUFFICE. The tnyoiiiun in one of its usual able editorial 'yesterday devotes its atten tion to the Astorian on its comments on the recent election in Portland. It wa in the nature of a plea in abatement ac companied with a motion to squash the ( indictment against one of the defendants H. W. Scott. The Oregonian. for the first time, states unequivocally that Mr. Scott is not a candidate for the United State senate. This is the first intima tion that the people of Oregon have had of his retirement from the jolitioal arena, for there is a certain telegram from Mr. Scott to Geo. C. Brownell wherein the former gentleman expressed the thought that "the time has now come." It i a self-evident fact that Mr. Scott retired from the contest in the senatorial election of 1903, but no one knew that it was permanent, and for making such a rash break, an apology is due the honorable gentleman who pre sides over the great Oregon newspaper. The formation of the Scott-lleney Trust Company referred to, was inspired from the facts, that the Oregonian has lost no opportunity to prejudice the public mind against Senator Jhn II , Mitchell for his alleged complicity In the land fraud cases. The Atoran has not Stt'Piptfd to iMcnd. Senator Mitchell. j neither las It persecuted bi niby pub lishing only comments from the state press antagonistic to the senator osten sibly for the avowed purpose of influen cing public sentiment, with a noticable omission from the press friendly to the senator. Trial by newspapers, is not, conducive W lb? impartial admlul.tr' tion of justice to defendants Accused of a violation of the laws of the land; Comeati after the trial are both proper and permissabie, but no mart, be he either, innocent or guilty, should be con victed by the press without first having had a fair and impartial trial by a jury of his peers. The Astorian is convinced, and so are many of the people of Ore g, lhat the evident animosity of the 'Oregonian against Senator Mitchell in fluenced many votes against Mayor Wil liams. With reference to the nomination of Mr. Furnish, it is a well known fact that Mr. Scott was the leader and the spokesman of the Multnomah conven tion that nominated Mr. Furnish and Mr. Williamson, and that they held the balance of power in that convention and voted as a unit, leaving all other aspi rants in the minority, compelling them to withdraw from the contest and ac quiesce in the unanimous "choice of the convention," dictated by the Multnomah delegation. No apology is necessary on this score, for it is a part of the polit ical history of Oregon, and a very large majority of the republicans believe in the truth ol the statements of many of the delegates at the convention. True, the Oregonian supported the republican candidate it always does, but with more ardor and enthusiasm if it hap pens to 1 one of its creation. Republi cans of Oregon have not forgotten the antagonism displayed by the Oregonian to the late President McKinley. It was not a personal antagonism, but a polit ical one. The Oregonian is a great paper, equal, if not sujierior in editorial ability to any published in the United States, ami jt has a right to criticize men and meas ures, but there is a growing sentiment among all fair minded men against "trial by newspapers." When this is indulged in, no matter what the motives that actuates it, the general public are certain to form and express an opinion, consonant with their Ideas, as the Amer ican people believe in fair play and in square dealing and will not tolerate a jKilicy of ruining a man's character for political ends. The Astorian has never commented on the guilt or innocence of any of the men implicated in the land discipline will appear in other direction. Misfortune has often in the history of the world been the means of making a jxiet, orator philanthropist, scientist or statesman out of a erson whose car eer, but for the misfortune or physical disability would have lieen common place and influence limited. A club woman in Chicago, who proba bly consider? herself advanced, ha- given it out that children "destroy the sjmeiry 01 nome. inis notion is so "advanced" as to be out of touch with everything hnuman. Hut perhaps she was never a child herself in the true sense of 'the word or had a hard and love less "advanced" clubwomanu for a moth er, who had no time to bother with hei offspring. Queer idea of symmetry she has anyway. What is home with out a mother!" says the old song, and "God bless the little ones at home!" is a senti ment that ha found echo in the hearts of the people. A home without children is incomplete, and there for an unsym metrical home. The club woman is well "advanced" on the way to the lunatic asylum. Many men gTowl about what they call the injustice of the universal law that hi who receives more than he who hasn't loses th? little that be may have. Could you run the world on any othei principles! Suppose you change it. Now those who are trifling, lay and good for nothing are prosperous, while the four-handed and wise lose thfl re sult of their work fttn yuu Improve Hie world that way The uld rule may seem a hardship, but good sense sees thai it is the only safe principle on which a liveable world can be run. Why don't you growl liecause the river won't carry you up rttvum instead of down: 'Ct mad teeie us harder to go up hill than down Make that law help you. Don't crse it.

(Seal) Correct Attest I The other day a fine looking man ap peared in a New York home and ls-gan paying court to the daughter She had met him at a reception and he pleased her. He was kind to the old folks, courteous, a model lover and in a few weeKS a marriage took place .Not a question was asked. All lielieved what he told them. After the marriage it was discovered that he was a bigamist nan a uo.cn times repeated and as thorough a scoundrel as ever graced a prison. Result. A family disgraced and a girl's heart broken, all for the lack of a little precaution. It would almost seem that people like to be sfooled. Over confidence has blackened many lives. When a young man begins to pay at tention to your daughter it is your duty to learn something about him. It's not enough that he dresses well and talks well, and appears to be industrious. The young man, even if he is a comparative stranger in a city, who is in a position to make love to a young woman, is able to show some certificate of character. Ask him for it. Show at least as much prudence in a matter of matrimony as you would in buying a horse. If the candidate for any position from office boy to Incoming your son- in-law, is sincere, he invites inspection. If he objects to inspection you don't want him. and the young lady in the case can better afford to shed a few tear now than buckets of brine ufU-r an ill advised marriage R. M.
