There is too much jealousy, where there should be harmony, too much of. an inclination to "get even" for some imaginary wrong, too much of a dispo sition to injure a fellow man by cir culating evil and often false reports concerning him. It does beat the world how jealous we all are. We are always ready to jump on and praie some fel low who is engaged in something that doesn't cross our path. He is a crack erjack if he is working in some other field. But the moment he gets into our front yard we begin to knock him. All of us are too much stuck on ourselves. The lawyer thinks he knows more than the fellow who is on the other side. When the other fellow skins him he lays it on the justice. When some fel low beats our time with a young lady we always say, "It beats the dickens what fools these girls wil make of them selves." There is a business that would beat Standard Oil profits if it could be worked. Just buy men for what they are worth nnd sell them for what they think they are worth. Knocking is a habit and prevails to an alarming ex tent in Astoria and the only exeus that can be offered or be accepted by the public is, that it is human nature. THE WILD EAST. PARTY HARMONY. Thou' has never, been a time in the liMnry of politic in the State of Ore in, or in Clatsop county, when party harmony and fealty predominated to uch a decree as during the prelimi nary fkicmith preceding the primary nominating election. There srenis to 1h a disposition on the pait of the otcr to permit any pei-MUi so desiring, to run for any office hi liltle heart de file. There aro several candidate for I'liited State M'lhitor, for governor, sec retary of state, and in Clatsop county, it appear to W the- lull before the storm. Political leaders, with on or two exception, have consented to leave the choice of c uulidate with the voter, with the intention of lining up at the June elation. It i the first time the direct primary law ha been tried in the tSate and the people who voted for it. many not knowing what they were voting fop, will have an opntunit to more thoroughly understand ii pro vision and it efficacy 111 purifying Hlitics. The situation in l'latop county i a mild a a June sunset. The voter are registering, saying nothing, but sawing wood. They have the first oportunity of their live to take a hand in nomi nating candidates, and there seem to lie a dioition to vot for such men. as in their judgment will le elected, irre spective of what faction they formerly belonged to. There will be 110 canvas made by the candidat . a men are too biisv to listen to profuse political proiiiie. which are often overlooked like a white check, after tin' election i 'tit it.. over, the contest win i principalis among Republican nnd there i an abundant of good material to select from, and the ultimate nomination of a winning ticket at the poll in June. o . e EDITORIAL SALAD. Now that the Republican have filed their p-tition. the citizens' eireu billed for April 21, will have the boards. o The vellow fever germ having been discovered, all that i necessary to de stroy the plague i government regula tion of the germ. The exact fact is that like most mod ern citi Astoria ha an ample and almost exhaustablc supply of both water and whiskv. What has become of that southern combination of cotton planters which was organized to make Wall -treet desolate? A little early to decide from the legal proe-edings whether the patent medi cine men are bringing lilx'l suits for a vindication or for an advertisement. Most of the trouble of the big insur ance companies appears to have come from carrying too much of the busine-s in the head instead of upon its books. The Wild West i3 a memory, fragrant still, but fast fading. It has reality only for worshippers of Buffalo Bill, and for small bovg so surfeited with dime novels that they are ready to start afoot to fight the bad Indians. But the Wild West we have even now with us. We have it not merely in the organized wil ness of Tammany Hall and in the cynical raiders of Wall street, but also in those more delightful manifestations which well upu from the very bosom of the life of the people. What could be truer to the imaginary Far West than this incident carried by the current dispatcher from a city as far east as Richmond, Ca.? At the vil lage of Norwqod a man, name regret tably unknown, being "too lazy to get out of bed to extinguish a lamp which he had forgotten to put out before re tiring, attempted to shoot out the light. The bullet hit the wrong part of the lamp, it is true, but that only shows that the Wild East is not universally expert as yet. The saloon, the dance hall, the gambling palace, and other buildings in that part of the wilderness, to a total value of .$20,000 were destroy ed in the conflagration that, followed. The time may not be far distant when the sedate cowboy from Texas making a brief visit to the east for the sake of roughing it, will find Virginia, New York and even Massachusetts, treating him to a la tenderfoot, making him dance to the music of bullets, shoot ing his hat off for fun, and put ting out the lights for him by bullets. What stories the man from Texas will be able to tell when he gets back to his children. The report that La-.-ie ( luijwirk is growing out is not alarming. Something of that sort is almo-t sure to happen to a person intently engaged in serving a ten-year sentence in a penitentiary. 0 If any Republican has been overlook el, and who desire to be a candidate, he will have to hurry. Only a few days left in which to fib- your petition and make your political promises. . 0 The insurance company officials are pleased to announce that any policy holders who are dissatisfied with the management can die and get their money paid to their beneficiaries with out delay. 0 A committee of the Portland common council has solemnly decided that when a policeman gets drunk on duty and as saults a citizen who is attending to his own business on his business premises, then the policeman "exceeds his au thority." 0 Doctors Are Puzzled. The remarkable recovery of Kenneth Melver, of Vaneeboro, Me., is the sub jeet of much interest to the medical fraternity ami a wide circle of friends. He says of his case: "Owing to severe iniflmmation of the Throat and con gestion of the Lungs, three doctors gave we up to die, when, as a last reson, 1 induced to trv Dr. Kincr's New Dis- eovery and I am happy to say, it saved my life.

The Morning Astorian, C5o a month. 1 UNDERSTAND there are voting ami nttrnetive women em ployed in great nunilers in New York who are paid $1 ami $5 a week, from which sum they must pay for board, lodging , and clothe. I think SUCH FACTS Sl'KAK FOR THKMSKLV.ES. They do not recjniro any comment from me. The state should require a wage which would insure proper food to the worker. I do not menu quail and terrapin, but nourishing and wholesome food, which would insure the good physical condition of the worker. This should be done NOT AS A MATTER OF COMPASSION OR 1TIT, lU'T OF COMMON PF.CKNOY, of race preservation and of self preservation. No set of beings were ever designed in order to form the stepping stones of the bountifully inclined to heaven. The poor were not cre ated in order to afford the rich a chance for the development of their charitable instincts. It is not a matter of Wing kind to the poor. It is a matter of giving them ,1 F STICK. Is it not a shocking and horri ble thing that the workers in every line have been obliged to organize in order to secure the most elementary conditions of fairness from their employers J We speak of "capital and labor." IT IS A DANGEROUS DIVISION. ' DID YOU EVER THINK THAT EVERY COIN IN EXISTENCE REPRESENTS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF WORK, EITHER MENTAL OR PHYSICAL? WHO DID THE WORK REPRESENTED BY THAT COIN? DID THE ONE WHO HOLDS IT? IF NOT, THEN SOME BODY ELSE HAS BEEN OVERWORKED. The most profound hostility is being developed all over the, world against the rich. This hostility is more pronounced against the idle rich than against the working rich. A man liko the lato Marshall Field, all his life a worker, commanded a certain degree of admira tion from nil other workers. Rut everywhere we encounter persons who live in leisure on dividends. WHO IS SUPPLYING THOSE DIVIDENDS? They can only come from work. Who is working to produce them ? If there is any one who is doing nothing it is be cause some one else is working overtime. If you get a great bargain it U because some one ha been cruelly underpaid. It wai in feudal Euroi that certain persons made the discovery that they could not preserve their dignity without wasting their time. You will recollect that they were RUDELY JOSTLED out of this idea and ferociously punished for it in the French revolution. Now, I have not come here with the purpose of alarming anyboi.lv, but did vou notice that in the recent elections in England men of great title and hinh position and old and famous blood were ruthlessly refused the favor which thev asked at the hands of the voters ? It is the same thing which, much more rudely und impolitely, the WORKERS did in the French revolution. On the banners carried by the proce.-Mons of unemployed in London there was a warning note, a dreadful note ''Curse vour eharitv !'' Since my arrival here I have been much questioned as to my in- . .... .... icittv f fi'- Tn terest in "working girls. 1 here seem to be nui K)i GIRLS (URLS AND WORKING (JIRLS. In my life I have met only girls. I do not know these distinctions. The regulation of the wages of the worker should be taken out of the realm of the personal and done in an impersonal way by the state, because inquiries of that sort are impudent when made personally. WE HAVE NO MORE RIGHT TO ASK A POORLY PAID WORKER HOW .MUCH IT COSTS HER TO LIVE AND WHAT PROPORTION OF HER WAGES SHE SPENDS ON HER FOOD THAN WE HAVE TO ASK A BILLIONAIRE WHAT HE PAYS HIS CHEF. BUT THE GOV ERNMENT HAS A RIGHT TO COLLECT STATISTICS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE WHOLE PEOPLE.

FREDERICK NATHAN af New York. 5uAiSUt and lecturer IIERE is no reason why women who are actively interested in the affairs of the nation can't be JUST AS DOMESTIC AND LOVELY TO LOOK UPON as those who lead a narrower life. Most women have a certain amount of lei sure, and they prefer to pans that time in talking about the improve; ment of the city's parks, political conditions and writing addresses for woman's suffrage meetings, instead of gambling at bridge, going to teas and attending luncheons which take all the afternoon to eat and a week to digest. There is a woman living near me who is a prominent lawyer and who has a host of professional women friends. Well, al most every day I see them crowded about the carriage of THAT LAWYER'S BABY, showing just as much interest in its new tooth as ever. Conservative man says what woman is capable of and wlmt be is incapable of, and when she steps outside the sphere that he has as signed her he calls her UNWOMANLY. HE SEEMS TO THINK THAT A WOMAN WHO BELIEVES IN SUFFRAGE MUST HAVE SHORT HAIR, MA8CULINE CLOTHES AND A SOUR DISPOSITION. J. Q. A. BOWLBY, President. O. I.
