OUR RAILROAD FUTURE.
It ie a comfortable thing to content
plate, this railroad building, when one,
two or more are headed right for one'
own door. Atoria has the "A. & C",
and it may be transposed into a tran-
continental line one of these days that
are fitment with the unexpected: she
lias the Astoria-Seaside inter-urban com
ing in good chape; and one of these two,
or some other liue simply MUST build
into the Tillamook country; the Lytl
road i coming northwestward a fast
as it can, with Astoria for a terminal on
the west, and there is hot rumor of 1
northhore line into our suburb of Frank
fort. What the dickens more can a city
ask than this? If there is nothing in
such a forecast, then had we better get
in and build one for ourselves. Astoria
gave the impetus to the one flue enter
prise on which she is now a way-station,
and she might contrive to start another
line in whose future she would figure as
one of the termini.

THE TEXT OF GREED.
The Portland Journal has a good deal
to say lately about Astoria's lack of in
itiative and her duty in getting in and
carving out her own success etc., etc.;
the usual cry of the Portland press when
this city has a glimmer of promise of
commercial advancement The Journal,
like all other papers in Portland. i
naturally, working for the metropolis,
which is the proper thing to do, and t
be commended, and imitated. But the
Portland influence, which, by the way
is a very large asset in her communal
calculations and achievements, is always,
and altogether, with Portland, and di
ametrically against this, and all other
towns, in the state. Of course this is
an old story, but its repetition nev-?r
reduces the actuality of the status and,
therefore, we are compelled to plead it
in defense of such reproaches as the
Journal indulges. If only the flood-gate
of common sense and large mindedness
would open and deluge the metropolis
with an access of understanding that
should include the principle that what i3
good for Astoria is good for Portland;
that Astoria's progress is Portland's;
that we are in the contributing class of
communities, and not in the distributing;
that she can win the good-will and com
pensating affiliation of Astoria very
easily by breaking down the code of
selfish, corporate domination of every
thing in the commercial and transporta
tion way that might come to us but for
her; that this city would respond quick
ly and largely to such a policy of
equable and generous assistance, Port
land would be the instant and wholesome
gainer. Astoria knows her limitations;
they have been thrust upon her repeated
ly for a quarter of a century; shj knows
the measure of denial, how, and whence
it has been wrought; she has seen her
best hope and effort nullified time and
again by the one great power of metro
politan antagonism, and she is weary of
the contest. She has everything to
share, and she is loyal enough to the
state to want to share it with Portland
rather than with an outsider. But if
this cannot be done, then she will give
the glad hand to any conceivable agency,
from anywhere, that will contribute to
her development on lines she knows she
has the right to pursue.

ASTORIA'S ORGANIC PUSH.
There should be no real reason for
Astoria's progress to be neglected or re
tarded, considering she has six organic,
public, and semi-public, bodies bustling
for her. The Chamber of Commerce,
the Commereiad Group of the Irving
Club, the Push Club, the MeClure Im
provement Club, the Shively Improve
ment Club, the West End Improvement
Club, and the East End Improvement
Club. This is the fishing, and the vaca
tion, season, and there is a lull in the
activity of nearly all these "first aids to
progress," but it is hoped that the hiatus
will not result in any sort of collapse;
that all hands will take a new grip when
the idle days are over, and the business
of the year opens up in the early fall.
Astoria has some big irons in the fire
that need careful, comprehensive and
unified action, to bring to the "right
heat," of achievement.
"We ane restless people," says the
editor of a Kansas exchange. "Every
thin woman longs to be fat Every fat
w oman wants to grow thin. Every town
man longs for the time when he can re
tire in the quiet of the country, and
every farmer hopes to some day quit
work and move to town, when he can
take life easy. Country newspaper men
would like to try their1 hand on a city
daily. The fellows on the big dailies
dream of a time when they can own a
paper of their own. In youth we long
for maturity, in age we yearn for the
happy days of childhood. There is no
excuse for it other than that we seem
to be built that way. The grass seems
to be just a little bit greener and thrift
ier monst any direction from the place
you occupy right now. Contentment is
as near to happiness as you can get in
this world."

The Cry Against Luxury
By M. M. MANGASARIAN, Lecturer
IFE is a luxury, and it doservca all the luxuries which man can
conquer from nature with hia toil or his thought Tho cry
against luxury is an evil symptom. It is tho old spirit 0
ASCETICISM U A NEW GUISE. Luxury is tho grat
ification of the wants of the civilized man. It is not true that luxury
degrades a nation. If the Greeks and the Romans perished, so dv
the barbarous Parthians and the severely simple Spartans.
The modern man is stronger and capable of greater endurance, not
in spite of the comforts and luxuries of civilized life, BUT BE
CAUSE OF THEM. , When tho life of society was more simple and
severe men could not stand the strain to which the American or tho
European is subjected today.
But wealth, against which the reformers raiae their voices, has
made human life decent Even liberty is born of better material con
ditions. Prosperity elevates the masses. It is not "Messed to be
poor.'' 1'UV.fc.iai, DISEASE. IS LUJS AT A LUW
EBE Art, science, genius, beauty, are all luxuries, and yet how un
profitable and fiat life would be without them.
OCT ALL YOU CAN ENJOY AND ENJOY ALL YOU POSSESS.

The Modern College Man
By Rev. E. C. UPDIKE of Chlcafo
f"HE follow ing, in my opinion, are some of the MORE GLAIi-
4 I ICG FAULTS of the modern university student : Selfish in
tellectuahty. Tho college man has his own ideals and his own
methods, and he is not susceptible to change. He is also cowardly
about facing the MORAL PROBLEMS of the day.
INTELLECTUAL ARISTOCRACYj THE COLLEGE MAN LIVES BY
HIMSELF AND GETS ALL OUT OF 8YMPATHY 1 THE WORLD,
Too much devotion to his own pursuits; his t .... '..--. vea dead
ened.
Too itfuch specialty; his character is not rounded, and thus his
views of the duties of citizenship becomo CRAMPED.
The college man tries to reach conclusions in spiritual meters by
the same process that he does in MATERIAL MATTERS, which
is erroneous.

WOMEN'S WOES.'
AstoriaWomen
Are Finding
Last.
Relief at
It does seem that women have more
than a fair share of. the aches and pains
that afflict humanity; they must "keep
up," must attend to duties in spite of
constantly aching backs or headaches,
dizzy spells bearing down pains; they
must stoop over when to stoop means
torture. They must walk and bend and
work with racking pains and many aches
from kidney ilK Kidneys cause more
suffering than any other organ of the
body. Keep the kidneys well and health
is easily maintained. Read of a remedy
for kidneys only that helps and cures the
kidney and is endorsed by people you
know.
Mrs. John Close ,of 230 Commercial St.
Astoria, Oregon, says: "I just as aid
ently recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
now as I did some three years ago when
they relieved nie of a severe attack of
backache and kidniey complaint. I never
before used any remedy that acted so
promptly and effectively as Doan's Kid
ney Pils, which I procured at Charles
Roger's drug store on Commercial St.,
My belief is that if this medicine fails
to give relief to any one suffering from
kdney roubles there is nothing else that
will relieve. I cheerfuly recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills to all troubled as I
was.'

t
Often a person is sized up by his appear
ance; by the tono that surrounds him. And
more often a business house in sized up by
tho stationary it uses. A cheap letter
head or a poor bill head gives a mighty
poor first impression and makes business
harder to transact. Good printing costs no
more than poor printing. Tho first im
pression is half the battle in business.
You wouldn't employ a "sloppy" sales
man; why put up with "sloppy" station
cry, that gives a wrong impression of tho
importance of your business. Ixit us do
your printing and help you to make that
ten strike.
