A groat opportunity was lost when ,.Tohn Alexander Dowie forgot to an nounce it was he did it. Vesuvius, Gorky and Senator l.a Fol- Jette's railroad rate speech were all sidetracked by the San Francisco earth- .quake. 'Immunity baths" may be all right, Jjut Congress proposes to write the reg ulations for the bathing department. JTJSTIFIBLE PRIDE. When a city, or any element of a city erects a notable monument and dedi cates it to the honor of the dead or the good of the liv ing, that city has justifiable cause for pride: And m the completion and dedication of the magnificent hospital of St. Mary, by the Sisters of Provi dence in this city, Astoria has, and free ly declares- t realizing sense of the beau ty, scope and value of this monument to humanity: It is slightly and splen didly 'appointed, and the long years of noble service ahead of it must perpetu ate and increase the measure of pride all Astorans take in it May it pass unscathed to a long and glorious record of utility.. One of the magazines undertakes to show where the .high price of coal goes; but more people arc interested in learning where it is to come from. And now the 10-cent magazine boys will all strive to make a record on the seismograph in the weather department of the government. , CRUDE OIL A FACTOR. The terrific fire that lately laid San Francisco low had many causes and a dozen points of origin, and it is hard to determine the specific things that start ed and fed the swiftly consecutive flam es as they broke out at the widely var ied localities But it has been made certain that one avid cause of their continuity was the immense quantities of crude oil on storage at a hundred points, in the large buildings where the stuff was kept on tap for fuel purposes, the running of hoists, passenger eleva tors and numerous other utilities, and all in close touch with that correlative agency that makes for fire at any time, electricity. There is no question of the essential value of crude oil as a commer cial and working factor in the business of the world, but there is a big and vi tal question of its storage in quanti ties and places that will lessen its dang er in such emergencies as the one just referred to. The cellar will not do; no open and exposed place will do; to ele vate it above the points of service in creases its facility for danger and dam age; to confine it sets up the counter storage of deadly and infkmable gases; and one if forced back to the simpler, plan of storing it at one remote, lofty and isolated spot in the community and directing it service, under metre record, in the smallest pipes that can convey it freely to. the point of service, on the exact lines of water service. This plan, or its submersion in water at the point of storage and its delivery through pipes of minor diameter, are the only safe expidents against its becoming a jounce of danger in the midst of a gen eral conflagration. THE UNCHOSEN. There is a letter in this issue signed by W.i J. Ingalls of this county, that is typical of the genuine Republican and the unselfish man. He went before An earthquake is a costly but evi dently a valuable meanse of getting a city's criminal population where it can be eliminated by the quick and sure hooting route. 0 As Harper's Weekly is disposed to in sist, Mr. Woodrow' Wilson is a good and a great man. much better ana greater indeed than is indicated by his presiden tial boom started by the editor of Har- jier's Weekly. 0 The mot enduring influence of great wealth upon public opinion appears to be manifest in a more general demand for great wealth among those who have wealth enough. 0 Railway discrimination in favor of San Francisco will not be made a promi nent feature of the senate debate anen$ the rapacious greed of extortionate corporations. - Dowie postponed his Sunday sensa tion for Zion. Dowie always had inspir ation enough to avoid playing against a. greater attraction for newspaper notice. . "Before the ashes of the old city have cooled, the new one will begin to rise," says Mayor Schmitz in his proclamation ;to homeless San Francisc. That message has the ring of determination and hope and is worthy of the grander! cityj that is to rise on the ashes of the old. j Hie Hospital HE Z Itanfrful are They Who Escape the Surgeon's Knife Thousands of surgical operations are per formed every year In our great city hospitals upon women afflicted with serious femalo troubles. Sometimes the operations are suc cessfuloftentimes they are not It Is safe to say that certainly nine out of ten operations for female troubles might have been wholly avoided. The most valuable tonic and re-builder of the female organism, the medicine with a record of thousands of cases literally snatched from the operating table, Is LydiaLPinlthainlsVegetabieCompound Do not consent to an operation which may mean death until after you have given Lydla E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound a fair triaL Note what It did for Mrs. Paul Oliver, whose letter follows: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I was wittering from pains In my side and a serious female trouble. The doctors said to get veil I must have an operation performed, but I would not consent to that. I heard of Lydla E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound and sent for a bottle ; the first dose did me good, and after taking the first bottle I could sleep all right and I did not have those pains in my abdomen which I had All the time before. Now I can ride ten miles In a carriage, my color has returned, and I am full of life. I owe all this to the Vegetable Compound. It has also done wonders for my thirteen-year-old daughter. I will sever cease to praise It and recommend It to my friends. . Mrs. Paul Oliver. St. Martinsville, La. Thousands of women, residing In every part of the United States, bear willing testimony to the wonderful virtue of Lydla E Plnkham's Vegetable Compound.

Ana even the timid anti-im .perialist who cannot sleep through fear of the "militarism" of the Republic .will now be forced to admit that a stand ing naval and military force within call of the big cities of the country in great emergencies, or catastrophes is convenient. 0 Some distinguished citiwna of this country indulge the queer process of reasoning which enables them to reach the conclusion that Wu Ting Fang is un grateful because he did not permit his experience with generous American hos pitality to make him an advocate of the American policy of Chinese exclusion. 0 Mrs. Emma Griffith, proprietress of a Chicago candy store, was confronted by a thief whom she promptly overpowered and fatally wounded with his own re volver. One or two candy kitchens con ducted by pupils of Mrs. Griffith could do a great business in Butte. Butte Inter-Mountain. . It is not because admiration has ceas ed from the man who "wrestea the scep tre from tyrants, the lightning from the heavens," that comparatively little ppace is devoted to the Franklin cele bration in the newspapers" this week. His services to humanity as a diplomat, a scientist and a journalist have not been forgotten, but they can receive but scant justice in the midst of a ca lamity, which casts its shadow over the whole civilized world.
