Western Oregon and Washing- ton Fair; slightly wanner, ex- cept near coast Eastern Oregon and Washing- ton, Idaho Fair and wanner. CLATSOP HAS EES REWARD. Clatsop county, with her normal re publican majority of 700, went over to George E. Chamberlain in the matter of the governorship, to the tune of 250, and she has just received her reward. Paddy Lynch, one of her notorious criminals ha been duly pardoned out of the peni tentiary after serving three years of the eight allotted to him by the court here, and will take his place in the social realm of which he was always a glitter ing and dominant igure. Governor Chamberlain has exhibited perspicuity of the highest order, in this idea of com pensating the voter of this section for their generous support of his claims up on the high office he has so quickly pros tituted. It was, perhaps, all the could do, upon so Bhort a notice, and there may be more to come, but we hazard the hope he will find some other means of acknowledgment than the thrusting back npon us of the scum and scruff of our penal-representatives, for, however, valuable they may be to him in his pro jected political enterprises, Clatsop coun ty here, and now, protests against any repetition of executive clemency of this sort, and not upon political ground?, either. . THE SAME OLD TALE. Harry Thaw, the millionaire-murderer, of New York, is insane. He, himself, knows better; but the exigencies of his delicate situation, just at this time, call for a state of complete mental aberra tion and it has been delivered and re corded. His mother, his attorneys, his friends, have purchased a job-lot of lunacy and have invested him with it, and it will last him until the hour of formal release from the charge of mur der and perhaps, for a brief season in some swell sanitarium of the East. After that, he will take his place in the social pageant, and well up to the' front Of course, it all means "money." Money is omnipotent. All standards fall before the dominance of money; social, legal, religious, commercial, and professional. And this glorious country is setting the pace for the world in the real, raw mani festations of the theory and practice It is too bad, but there are very few of us, parhaps. who would fail to invoke the money-god if we were within his immediate and intimate confine. ANKENT ON THE GRIDIRON. Senator Levi Ankeny, of Washington, is on the gridiron of his state press, and the Seatte P. I. is doing a bit to stoking in the premises that promises to make the old gentleman squirm vigorously, This is the inevitable outcome of ring poiltics, of whatsoever partisan class they may be. The day always comes when an exasperated people rebel against the insolent tyranny of the petty official ism that goes beyond its place and at tempts to over-awe the authority that governs them. It is entirely reasonable that such an issue should ensue. The people are pre-eminent, except when they are indifferent, and they are far too often addicted to negligent end tolerant ways, in this particular. It is their own fault if a servant transgresses the limit of his office and their patience. And if there were more frequent, and sharper, reprisals brought to bear upon the con tumacy of men In public life, there would be greater rwpect for- the primal author ity and less to complain of, of fraud, ar rognnee and wrong-doing in the official life of the nut ion. HELP WANTED!" Vicious indolent" and innate lnainess are the only excuses that will account for any man's idleness now. There i an abundance of work all over the coun try; the mills and factories the lumber and logging ramps, the, river and sea craft, the trades of all kinds, are simply howling for men and the very govern ment it.elf is short handed in its mill tary, naval and civil branches. It is the best sign of general prosperity, and the laiy man is the conspicuous man these davs. It is also an era. of strikes, and this but adds to the shortage of labor. He who whine about his inability to find something to i!o now-a-days, is lying, and should be treated as vagnnnt. AH men are not accustomed to all manner of work, but the manly end of such a situation is the tackling of the unusual thing and holding it until something more familiar offer itself, There is broad education in doing some thing one never did before; it pays any mafl to try it. Astoria offers a wide field for jtt such advantage. o PISTOLS FOR TWO. Now. if what is said i true, namely that Secretary Hitchcock wants to put .Senator Fulton in jail just because the senator has declared the Secretary is in his dotages, the people will very soon reach the conclusion that Charley must know what he is talking about The venerable secretary, who has been knocking Oregon in a wholesale manner for the past three years should not get wrathy over a mere bit of sarcasm no matter how completely it is surcharged with truth. Perhaps Charley Fulton is about as big a man. any way you want to take him, and a truthful as Mr, Hitchcock. Eugene Register. 0 000000000000000000 O EDITORAL SALAD.

Where else, may be asked, could a garter snake appropriately wind itself t 0 A few days ago a baby at Anderson, Ind- fell from a third-story window to a sidewalk and was picked up uninjured.

The Japs drank 3,800,000 gallons of beer last year. 0 As a rule newspaper men are not hard hearted. Many a good story has never been known publicity because it would wound a mother's heart or disgrace a father's name. Faint-hearted advertising which is usually merely non-continuous or in sufficient advertising is no better for your store than a faint-hearted wooing for a suitor. The fastest battleship of the American navy is the Georgia, whose trial trip was made last Thursday. The record speed was 1956 knots an hour. The largest pin factory in the world is that in Birmingham, England, where 73,000,000 pins are manufactured every working day.

The Antigraf t Movement Not a Crusade Against Wealth lr Coventor JOSEPH W. fOlH T MlaMUrt HERE are some who eo danger to oar institution! in the agt tations resulting from tho exposures in official and business life. I do not share thia view. To aijr mind the hope) for TIIE FERPETUnT OF THIS GOVERNMENT by the people was never brighter than now. The fact that thia awakening haa come at a time of unusual prosperity ahowa that it doea not proceed from a spirit of discontent, but springs from the MORAL SENSE of the people. The people are discriminating between the good and the bad. Thia movement against graft IS NOT A CRUSADE AGAINST WEALTH, but against tho ABUSES whereby aome obtain great wealth. It is a demand for common honesty in public life and private business. No man that is doing an honest business need fear. The distinguishing characteristic of this crusade for higher ideala is the CONSERVATISM OF THE PEOPLE. They do not oppose richea honestly acquired, but they do object to special priv ileges out of which tainted richea grow. They en courage legitimate industry and are not unfriendly to corporations THAT OBEY. TIIE LAWS, but they demand that corporations, even the greatest, obey the law just like any one else. The agitation against ill gotten gains does not mean a rabid Social ism or the destruction of the vested right OF ANY ONE. The man who would retard legitimate industrial development ia as much a publlo enemy as he who would oppress the peoplo beneath the golden heel of monopoly. The cry is not for Socialism or anarchy, but that the cor poration magnate respect the law that governs tho conduct of the cor poration as ho asks others to respect the law THAT PROTECTS THE PROPERTY OF TIIE CORPORATION. nun The anarchy of capital breeding lawlessness is no more to bo toler ated than the anarchy of labor breeding riot and disorder. Thia gov ernment does not rest either upon THE IDLE . RICH OR THE IDLE POOR, but upon the energy and patriotism of tho middle classes. THIS is the class that suffers under the reign of special priv ileges. MEN MAY ACQUIRE WEALTH BY ANY FORM OF LAWLESS NESS OR GRAFT, BUT IT IS THE WEALTH OF THE BUCCANEER AND THE PIRATE AND NOT THAT OBTAINED THROUGH NAT URAL MEANS. NATURE'S WARNING. Astoria People Must Recognize, and Heed It. Kidney ills come quietly mysterious-r. But nature always warns you through the urine. Notice the kidney secretions. See if the color is unhealthy If there are settlings and sediment, , Passages too frequent, scanty, painful. It's time then to use Doan's Kidney Pills, To ward off Bright's disease or dia betes. William M. Spayd, living on Winter street, southeast corner of D street, Salem, Ore. says: "It is just about three years since I recommended Doan's Kidney Pills through our local papers. I said that words could not express my good opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills or describe the remarkable effects they bad on me. My kidneys had been a source of annoyance for a number of years and I suffered from backache and pain across my loins. I couldn't go out and split a piece of kindling wood without my back paining me. The kidney secre tions were irregular and my rest at night was disturbed on account of their frequency and there was a scalding pain passing. I was advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills and procured a supply. By the time I had used a little over one box I was entirely free from the backache and the action of the kidney secretions was regulated so that I could rest the whole night without being disturbed. My kidneys were toned up and strength ened and my health was improved in every way. Three boxes of Doan's Kid ney Pills made me feel like a new man. I am always glad to express my grati tude for what they did for me." Plenty more proof like this from As toria people. Call at Charles Rogers' drug store and ask what his customers report.
