fEACE CONFERENCE.
During the last Hague tribunal the
world stood aghast at President Roose
velt's strenuous advocacy for a univer
pal peace and his apparent indifference
to the shocked nerves of a pomp in
naicu royalty. Again the world evi-
ueneeti us asionisiunent over tlie plain
spoken words of John Hay while ad
dressing a gathering of peace advocates
last December in Boston. Behold the
aftermath, the intelligent appreciatior
of American men and American ways
the final capitulation to President
Roosevelt's fearless personality. In
preference to Chefoo or Paris and ig
noring the president's suggestion of The
Hague, the Far East belligerents have
elected Washington as the place of
meeting for their plenipotentaries.
It is difficult to determine, with any
degree of certainty, when the peace
conference will occur. Dispatches would
indicate the time is of much concern to
diplomats in so far as none relishes the
possibility of a mid summer meeting.
In the event the conference should be
deferred until lata in the year, the al
ternative is an amistice which should
speedily be declared. For more than a
year the tales of dolorous suffering
among the belligerent armies on the
Manchurian frontier and in the ma
rine theater of the war have plunged;
not only this country, but every civil
ized nation in the world, into profound
sorrow. General Sherman's immortal
utterance, ''War is Hell," is brief and
fittingly describes the real horror of the
awful strife in the Far East. A cul
mination of peace negotiations in the
very near future will be welcomed by
every person who displays just a little:
interest in the suffering of fellow beings.
and a resoi? recently opened, the people
of Portland are offered no place of
recreation, excepting the exposition,
which is beyond the means 0 the ma
jority. Thi? assumption that they will
pay twenty-live cents for admittance to
the exposition grounds, in preference to
the fee of 10 cents at other amusement
places, is reasonable. This question is
of paramount importance and should
be carefully weighed by Xir. Goode aud
his worthy colleagues.

COMMENT
In Mullan, Idaho, a cow gave birth
to three calves. Would Roosevelt have
tlie heart to order the death of such a
mother J
We understand that a band at the
exposition played Chopin's "March Fun
ebre" to liven up a Portland crowd. That
recalls Sellwood where they play dead
marches for quick-step.
Grover Cleveland, as a trustee f tfce
Equitable, figured with two of his col
leagues in a star-chamber meeting. If
the eminent statesman's inclinations
are as of yore, we can expect a large
bond issue as a result of the conference.
A Portland policeman arrested a
young couple for plucking a single rose
from a bush. It seems deplorable that
the "Rose City's" star-adorned gentry-
can not meet with more success among
the thugs so numerous during the ex
position period.
The Columbia Southern is to be ex
tended from Shaniko to Bend, a thriv
ing town of 800 people, on the Des
hutes river. It is highly probable that
the road will bend so frequently ere it
reaches Bend, t rathe will receive a severe
setback. In such emergency, Bendites
may "Shoot Des"ehutes."
Wouldn't that give Canadian statesmen
the shivers? ' s
FAIR ADMISSION'S.
Exposition President Goode announces
that the price of Sunday admission to
the Lewis and Clark Centennial will bo
twenty-five cents. He arrives at this
conclusion after carefully studying con
ditions and appreciating that all build
ings are closed on the Sabbath. The
people of Portland have been aware of
this for some weeks and the smallness
of the attendance is largely due to
their very intelligent understanding.
A word to Mr. Goode in the history
of expositions, two have been wholly
successful. The Astorian has no desire
to place itself on record as predicting
the possible failure of the Lewis and
Clark enterprise. As a matter of fact
it has every hope for the success of
Portland's Fair. The two exhibitive
events mentioned were held at Nash
ville and Omaha. Following the close
of the Nashville exposition. $30,0(10 re
mained in the treasury of the corpora
tion and tlie sil? was purchased as a
public park for the city. The Omaha
exposition campany paid 100 cents on
the dollar to its stock holders.
Men who have given study to the vir
tues of expositions trace the success of
these enterprises to the popular admis
sion rates. After 7 o'clock in the even
ing entrance to the grounds was gained
for a twenly-five-cent fee. Such is the
argument now presented to tlie Lewi
and Clark exposition officials. Natur
allly an element is in evidence that not
only can afford, but will gladly pay the
fifty-cent admission. This element,
however, is not sufficiently large to sup
port the exposition.
Aside from some very poor theaters
Advices from London are to the effect
that the marriage of Princess Margaret
rictoria of Connaught and Prince Gus
tavus Adolphus, heir presumptive to
the throne of Sweden, was solemnized
at Windsor, in St. George's chapel. Ul
timately the prince will appreciate how
solemn was the ceremony.
A Franklin Pa., man visiting Port
land, argues that the most effective
method of closing saloons is to promul
gate the virtues of prohibition. Travel
ing through Oregon he claims that in
nearly every sawmill town he saw sa
loons. It is to be presumed the gentle
man who, by the way, is a "gas" oper
ator, has traveled through Pennsylvania
Washington has been selected by the
Far East Bellijrerent as the city In
which to hold a peace conference, with
the object in view of ending the pres
ent Russo-Japanese strife. The illus
trious father of our country uttered
the immortal phrase, "In times of peace,
be prepared for war." Heeding this.
Nicholas will undoubtedly order several
new battleships, to be used later as tar
gets by Togo.
The much booted "open door" ques
tion apparently has migrated across the
Pacific. Secretary of War Taft favors
Chinese immigration. He avers it i
better to disregard the unreasonable de
mands of the deeply prejudiced people
of the West, rather than to continue
attempts at apprehending eoolies, with
the result that Chinese of culture are
often humiliated. If Secretary Taft
will move his ample proportions to the
Pacific coast and delve into the real con
ditions, be will soon change his opinion.
"The big stick seems to be Wring
the olive leaves of peace," says the New
York Tribune. The comment is worthy
of reproduction.
The opinion prevails that the Eng
lish sense of humor is dull. The follow
ing from 'Punch" are convincing that
such is not the case:
He. I was an intimate friend of your
late husband. Can't you give me some
thing to remember him by!"
She (shyly). How would I do?
''Father, it is raining."
'Oh, well, let it rain."
''I was going to, father."
Clergyman. And how is your hus
band this morning, Mrs. Marley?
Mrs. Marlev. Thank ve, sir. e's no
belter. The doctor's afraid morality'll
set in.
President Roosevelt may not force a
railroad rate regulation bill throuiih his
lecial session of congress, but he will
force a lot of slippery statesmen to come
from cover.
.. ...... j. a
interment ana internment mean so
nearly the same thing for the Russian
warships at Manila that the confusion
of the words by several newspaper 1
not altogether strange.
When Mayor Dunne has succeeded In
giving Chicago immediate municipal own
ership he may receive an invitation to
visit Glasgo wand tell how it was done
Let us hope that the Japanese will re
frain their enthusiasm and not get To
go into trouble by giving him a house
or coaxing him to run for president.
The man who wrote that if the world
were flat, there would be a dude on each
comer, should have added, "standing
in front of the saloon."

The Eugene Guard is afraid some or
its eitiens will blow themselves at the
Lewis and Clark fair. It never mention-.

. Huge Task
It was a huge task to undertake the
cure of such bad case of kidney dl
sease as that of C. F. Collier, of Chero
kee, la., but Electric Bitters did U. He
writest "My kidneys were so far gone
I could not sit on a chair without
cushion; and suffered from dreadful
backache, headache and depression. In
Eleetrid Bitters, however, I found a cure
and by them was restored to perfect
nealth. I recommend the great tonlf
medicine to all with weak kidneys, liver
or stomach. Guaranteed by C. Rogers,
druggist. Price, 50 cents.

D. E. Duncan, who is employed with
his brother, at the Astoria Soda Works
426 Duane street, says: "I had been
troubled with a weakness of the bae
and kidneys for a number of years. There
was a constant dull, aching pain in th
loins and as far up as the shoulders
Not only did my back ache, but there
was a weakness from the kidney sec re
tions which was very annoying and dis
turbed my rest I heard about Doan
Kidney Pills and one day I stepped into
Charles Rogers' drug store and got a
box. I found them to be a great relief.
After the first few doses I felt better.
I know of others who have used them
with the same good results."

It is no secret that for cuts, burns

Arnica Salve. "It did not take long to
