The light of the ttt glennis too glaringly upon the pro cesses by which his millions nave ac cumulated to suiter the Intervention of such gentle conclusion. We be lieve the tremendous gift will go to China simply as "conscience money"; a tribute that "hull Mp to reconcile th last days of a life given over to the mad lut that has begotten Innu merable crimes; the placating of a thousand hideous memories; and the sorry attempt to quiet a abnormal, biting .relentless, self-accusation that, day bjr day, approaches the bur of eternal Justice. This man's hour are numbered and he knows It better than anyone else, just as he knows the uttorness of his frightful responsibility for 'the dmidful years of ruin. and plunder and robbery that stains him and his associates. Ida Tar Mi has not written In vain, evidently! , TAFT. RAILWAYS AND PEOPLE. Slowly but rarely, the tremendous engagemajht between) the railway of the United States and the people thereof, for supremacy under the law, approaches the cruical hour of the death-struggle: both are alive to the pending crash th&t must ensue In complete and fixed finality. There is to be no half-way measure In the out come. One or the other must give way and recede to the place assigned It under the rulings of the great trib unals that shall pass the pregnant world. Never In the history of the world has. so great an l?sue been thrust up on the courts and consciences of the people. of a' nation as now confronts the American people, and It Is the logical, imperative duty of every man to read and remember what he reads bo that when the hour comes he shall know the measure of Jtfstice where with he has been treated, and act as becomes a man or a slave. For years and years, of unrighteous savor, the railways have dominated the people, . their legislatures, their courts, their very government; and the audacity of their aggression ; the bold assumption of impregnable se curity based upon the methods they have pursued and the laws they have .wrought, have at last been the actual means of their sheer undoing. That man is a fooL who would dep recate, cry down, resist, the superb genius, the lnconcelveable enterprise, that has grid-Ironed the wide con fines of America with those wonder ful agencies for civilization and na tional developement; and no sane man will ask that they be crippled, denied, wrought upon or discredited, in any sense; but, that man is also a fool, blind and ignorant beyond estimate, who does not realize the necessity for checking the encroachments and blocking the power that they are as t Burning against the nation and the man, from whom they have drawn all of encouragement, of generous foster ing, of royal and ungrudging main tenance that has been the crowning glory of their existence to date. The battle Is on and there is but one Issue for such an encounter: The rule of the people, under the most ex act and applicable tenets' of Justice and the widest recognition of what Is due the roads; but the dominance of the people 18 the prime and unes capable doctrine that must,be set up first, and maintained unflinchingly. Defaulting this, there Is nothing left but actual slavery to conditions ancfj forces of blighting magnitude and power. President Roosevelt may make the mistake of his life In attempting to thrust Judge Taft upon the people of the United States as his successor. We are disposed to accord the Pres ident, much, and do it ungrudgingly, but we are not quite ready o make him dictator, and his assumption that lit hw bat to name his man, to have the nation go Into spasms of gleeful accord and frantic submission, may prove the one vast blunder of his great career. We are not decrying Taft: we be llpe he Is a great and useful man, but the people of this country may not be quite willing to take him as a sop to their essential disappointment In lov ing Roosevelt. The people are doing their own choslng in these enlightened ' blurring of the eyesight, days, and are not likely to brook in-1 took cold It settled In They don't expect o And that ml Ing bank messenger lingering along reading novels this side of the Onna iltim border. 0 Belgium and Holland have formed nil alliance nnd resolved that If the kaiser takes one he will have to take both.

Follow the advice of an Astoria cltUen. J. Pederson, longshoreman, living at (13 Commercial Street, Astoria, Ore gon, says: "For twenty years I was a k'ted In one way or another with klilney trouble. I suffered a great deal of pain In the small of the back and was constantly tired and nervous. I had occasional headaches and also a HONORING ST. PATRICK.

The third term gospel has no weight with w. We leave the adjustment of that question to the man who Is most deeply interested In deciding It, Mr. Roosevelt himself; and do but hope he will decide for the Immense body of the people who honestly and earnest ly desire his re-election. Beyond this his acceptance, or rejection, of the supreme honor ,he has nothing to say. and should leave the matter where it belongs, down amoug the people. Wc want no re-actionary effects, of an Illy-chosen executive and an ill ad vised administration, based upon the poor excuse that we set It up because we were told by a man we honoed and trusted. There Is too much "Mex ican" in that doctrine to suit the av erage man of this country. If we can not have Mr. Roosevelt we will choose our own PreAlent, and abide by all results, good or bad. 0 EDITORIAL SALAD. The way the railroad managers are lining ifp at the White 'House shows that they have located the Btorm cen ter. They'll get a square deal there, too, If they state their cause fairly. There need be no reason to fear consequences. Ifr Edwards, the new first deputy commlssonVer of street cleaning at, New York, was once captain of the Princeton football team. He certainly ought to appreciate their kicking on the condition of the streets. John D. Rockefeller announces- that his next gift will be made to the Chi nese nation and will , aggregate the wonderful sum ,of $50,000,000. He will make the princely bestowal in the hope that the money will prove the means of up-lifting that nation from the slough of its Inertia and Inapti tude and assist In placing it on the highway to civilization and the bles- . sings of modernity. We would like to believe that this man is actually inspired with ;, some noble hope such as this; that he re ally desires to die with a record that will Immortalize him a? a man of lofty and generous' humanity moved by the Mayor) Schmitz entered the court through a aide door when his graft ing case was called in San Francisco Monday.

SCALY SORES AS BIG AS PENNIES Ceversd Whole Head and Neck After an Attack of Measles Hair All Came Out Doctor's Treatment Had No Effect-Suffered 6 Months CURED IN 3 WEEKS BY CUTICURA COSTING $1,50 "After having the measles my whole head and neck were covered with scaly sores about as large as a penny. They were just as thick as they could be. My hair all came out. , I let the trouble run along, taking the doctor's blood rem edies and rubbing on salve, but it did not seem to get any better. It stayed that way for about six months; then I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about a week I noticed a big difference, and in three weeks it was well entirely and I have not had thj trouble any more, and as this was seven years ago, I consider myself cured. I used one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, one box of Cuticura Ointment, and two cakes of Cuticura Soap. I think it a splendid medicine, and I recommend it whenever I can.
