Japan had beat establish compulsory, high-grade system of schools and keep her children In unl versa! touch with them and keep her men from asking such, extraordinary favors of other countries, and partic ularly when they have no Idea of be coming cltitens.

IE WHERE GLORY WAITS THEE By Thorni Moore ' , 4 WIAMEK. ' Oregon Increasing cloudl- ness. Western Washington In- creasing cloudiness, rain along the coast THOSE AMENDMENTS. From now on until the morning of the 12th instant, the Astorlan . will have something ro say about one, or more, of the proposed amendments to the charter of Astoria; and it will endeavor to handle each and all of them sensibly, and in the interests of the people. There are several not quite to our liking, but there are others that are of real value and should be supported at the polls. Taking them In their published se quence, we wilr deal first with the proposed amendment to Section 143 This new law deals with the Water Commission; and provides that In stead of the membership being for life, the present incumbents shall hold bfflce until the first day of January, 1909; that at the election in December, 1908, nine members shall be elected, one member at large, for a period of eight years; two members from each of the four wards or the city, one member from each ward for a term of four years, and one member from each ward for a term of eight years, and the successors of the nine so elected shall be elected every four years thereafter: In other wot&s, the com mission shall be made an elective body with eight year terms, rather than an appointive body with a life tenure. In still other words, the commission shall be dragged into the political arena, and made an additional element of disruption, and, perhaps, corruption, and contribute spoils and place and leverage for the use of the bosses and boosters. We protest against the plan because it is so plainly a shrewd political device, and because It Is ab solutely unnecessary. The Astoria Water Commission is, as It stands, one of the best balanced and best managed municipal commissions in the state, clear of all political rot and ensnaring conditions, and the prop erty and finances in safe and satis factory condition. Why make it sus ceptible of disorder, squabbling and graft? Let well enough alone, and keep, at least, one phase of local gov ernment beyond the contaminating touch and influence of politics. Vote "No" on the amendment to Section 143, and do your city a distinct fa vor; and this is non-political advice, too, for it hits all parties and parts of parties. THAT STATE JUTE MILL. There is a quiet move on foot to have the State of Oregon set up "Jute' mill" for the alleged purpose of giving additional employment to the prisoners at the penitentiary. It will crop up In the legislature at some opportune moment, and the state will be asked for 1115,000 to start it going. It should be killed on the spot It is fathered by the hop men and the grain men with the Illy-concealed motive of a , lesser price for sacking, and it will be pushed by these men. It will be of no general benefit to the state at large; it will not -furnish employment for one-third of, the prison roster, and like all the rest of the prison Jute mills in the country, will become a los and con stant burden on the people.

Any cltlsen who will do nothing for his own city is helping to dig the grave. A man who curses the town furnishes the cofftn. The man who is so selfish as to have no ' mor time from his own business to give to the city affairs. Is making the shroud. The man who will not ad vertise, is driving the hearse., The man who is always pulling back from any public enterprise throws bouquets on the grave. The man who Is so stingy as to be howling hard times. preaches the funeral sermon, sings the doxology and thus the town lies bur led from all care and sorrow. EDITORIAL 8ALAD. In Korea a man Is not permitted to wear trousers until he is married. We may add that In Korea the mar ried man seldom has any cause to fear that he will have no chance to wear the trousers which he has so dearly won. JAP MAN: JAP CHILD. The basic fault upon which the San Francisco American-Japanese row de pends is, that the Japanese insist that the public schools of that city and state shall be thrown wide open to their adults. And this is a concession Californlafl nor no other state In this Union, will make to Japan, nor to its 'own citizens. The Californians make no exception and raise no difficulties about the Japanese children; they are treated as all other children are treated; but she draws the. line at the men, grown, mature, who have been denied scholastic advantages In this own country such as America provides for her children, and come In. when thev have far exceeded tne scholastic age If Miss Jane Morgan of Philadel phia consents to do so, she may sail Shamrock IV in the next race for the American cup. Miss Morgan, daugh ter of Randall Morgan, of Philadelphia, is one of the few women who have been licensed as skippers by the Unit ed States. She has handled large yachts for a long time and is an ex pert. Sir Thomas says he would be glad to have her sail a cup racer for him if she is willing to do so. The Osier theory that people be yond the age of 5 are of no further use receives a dead knock-out in the case of Mrs. Laura Ann Owen of Richmond, Ind., who, at the age of 91 years, recently entered her son's cornfield and husked a row around a thirty-acre lot without once stnnn'no. to rest. At a dinner rlvn hoi- her relatives she declared she believed she had the strength to do all the work she performed daily fifty years ago. Congress is soon to meet and then Is the time to flood it with protests against the free-seed folly." It costs $250,000 foe seeds and $250,000 more for the poslofflce to deliver the millions of packagea Money which could be devoted to agricultural In terests of real value to American farmers. It Is said that 10,000 or of these free seed packages forced upon the farmers of Long Isl and this year were destroyed by them and on Investigation it was found that many of thorn had been on tbe market JO or 30 years and yet were called "rare and valuable." . o Is not the building up of your city more to you than the building up of some far-away city? t Is it not a fact that if our city had 25,000 popula tion instead of 14,000, it would be bet ter for us all? Would there not be much more employment, would not these people consume more products and consequently make a better mar ket; would not the small homes with one lot be doubled In value and ev ery farm - within a radius of ten miles be worth $10 to $50 an acre more? Then, is it only a good thing for the merchant or tradesmen if you buy of him? Is It not just as good a thing for you?

Absolute Many Christians think It is a bad sign to be Jubilant and their work of self examination is a hewing down of their brighter experiences. Like a boy with a new Jacknife, hacking everything he comes across, so their self examination Is a religious cut ting to pieces of the greenest things they can lay their hands on. They imagine they are doing God's service when they go about borrowing trou ble, and borrowing it at thirty per cent, which is always a sure precursor of bankruptcy. " , o All corn and grain have been elim inated from the diet of the four Cape limit and demand the,Buffal cws in the Central Park Its not words, but deeds that prove true merit. The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills. For Astoria Kidney Suffers. Have made their reputation. Proof lies In the testimony of peo ple who have been cured. O. H. Sprlngmeyer, expresnman, of 1016 First Street, Portland, Oregon, says: "Exposure to rough weather and the Jarring of my wagon brought on kiefney trouble. My back ached1 almost constantly and the action of the kidneys seemed weak and the pas sages of the secretions too frequent Doan's Kidney Pills came to my notice,- and I got a box and beiran uslna them at once. The pain in my bstek was soon relieved and the kidney se- uielioiis become normal. Tv.'Q boxes of Doan's Kidney pills brought about the result " from a statement made Feb 28th, 1903). Cured to Stay Cured. On Jan. 12, 1906, Mr. Sprlngmeyer confirmed the above statement and added; "S'nce the time referred to In my former testimony I have not had a trace of kidney trouble, I have receommended Doan's Kidney Pills to many people and am always glad to do so."
