Inquiry on all fides elicit the fact that Astoria enters her new fishing season with the brightest hopes for its wiJest and richest results. There are, apparently, no natural, nor arti ficial, barriers to a successful issue In August and no diminution in the scope of preparation and engagement for the work and investment necessary. This is as it should be. and while things afloat are rushing along sat lsftorilji things ashore will meet them at the dividing line and both will work to the common good through the prime days of the summer. As toria is alright and "damned be he who first re-nigs" etc., etc. Faith is the leading motive behind all progress, and there is plenty and to spare of that commodity around here just now. Behind this are the promises inherent in the actualities presented by James J. Hill and his fame as a builder and exploiter of districts wherein he buys, and to this wholesome predicate Is due the new lease of life and hope suffusing this whole country-side. It Is sure and sufficient and not only Astorians are looking to it, but thousands of others with eyes always turned to the best prospects to be had.

Astoria has emerged from the des. ultory regimen that prevailed here through the past few years and is quietly forging to the front The year 1907 Is to be a time-mark in her history that will be very cheer fully adverted to in 'days to come and the proof will not be wanting to amply qualify and maintain the boast There Is a current of real fact and assurance setting In about here that means a vast deal for the whole community, if it Is but directed and conserved to the larger elements of success and not bound and hampered to meet the private energies and pe culiar wants of persons and cliques. These must be bent to the trend of communal good and made subservi ent to the popular needs, coalescing with the gradjuajl unfolcUkig off the larger schemes that promises gener al good, This spirit Is growing Into convic tion here and will contribute immense ly to the measure of development The gift of knowing when and how to wait, and what to do while waiting, are essentials of vital value and they are being studied and applied here now, with every indication of reali zation, and before many years have passed, Astoria will know the sum of worth bound up in such a course. She is chucking the old skin of du bious indifference and rising to her destiny In wide-awake style. Don't stop her, anybody! GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION. The policy of federal Intervention in the Jarger affairs of quasi-public importance and interest, has proven its timeliness and efficacy in the happy issue of the threatened railway strike, whereby millions of money and months of feverish and dubious conflict have The Thaw case in New York has reached Its climax. The contest has narrowed down to the big men repre senting the prosecution and the de fense, Jerome and Delmas are pitted afrsd the world stands awaiting th Is sue as it shall be sent out to the jury'. The case certainly presents enough, and varied, phases to invoke the ut termost of the wonderful capacity r each man engaged In the legal coif test, and affords, some peculiar fea tures never quite paralleled In crim inology before. It Is unique In nastl- ne's, the nastines retlng In quarters supposedly clean and honorable. It is a disgrace to human society In many ways and is a sharp indication of the liken rottenness that overlies th boasAed purity of lives conceded fret; of such debauched and foul conditions. If wealth, culture, the largess of fortune surroundings. yield no more than has been extracted from the Thaw case, then, indeed, we may look with fear and trembling to the future of America and re-read, with abounding interest, the story of the crusade of vice and lust that threw the Roman empire into the dust It is enough to make men think wisely and deeply, and discount for the fu ture, the shams that gloss our best, and hide our worst, social present ments. The Evil I of i Railroad Rebates & -- f ' " ...By... fjajr i william j. l J GAYNCR. J-.. 1 Justice of tha y1 A Supreme Court EDITORIAL SALAD.

Neighbor, we'll gladly lend you a mil lion to select from, but don't let your self be led Into such reckless boast ing in future. Such bitter antagonism exists be tween the Western Cnlon and Postal telegraph companies that when one raises Its rates the other does It sim ultaneously. While the public's bust ness is transacted over the wire their own is done by telepathy. Such Jeal ousies that makes them cut rates' up A million dollars was spent on East. er lilies In New York, not to speak of the millions that went for roses' and other flowers. We cannot deny the charge brought by Milwaukee we are a tribe of thoughtless spenders. Think of all the bock beer that money would have bought . The Russian Government Is pre paring to dissolve the Douma. Its members really had the temerity to ask for participation In the govern ment and that wasn't what it was called together for at all. Freedom Is the last thing Russia means to grant to the people. The W. C. T. V., of Oyster Bay, Long Island, complains that a delib erate effort was made to attract at agalnst the demon rum by lnterpola tentlon from their terrible battle ting talk about this trivial affair be tween the President and Mr. Harri-man. The President is doing, not explain ing. That's a hopeful sign of strength. Get a man explaining some and you only have to give him a little shove to land him on the mourners bench. Jerry McManus Tolstoy: Indeed, yes. It Is decidedly an evil omen to have your automobile run into by an express train at a grade crossing, on Friday the 13th. Ten thousand painters are out on a strike in New York. That means, among other things, that our new Spring suits are safe as long as they can stay out. CUE rJtvt of wraith, provided it le aewinl on equal tennt of conipiM-'tjon that is to say, without the firor, connir anc OR UlSCRIMIXATioX of government or the aii of statutes cannot be pernicious to republican institu tions, but, on the contrary, tends to the healthy activity, welfare and happine of the community and hence to the TCITY of such institutions. There is no danger of the confiscation of private property is this country any more than in England. But the acquisition of private property by the dishonest use of public franchisee and the aid of cun ning statutes is a very different thing. It is more than a menace to our republican institutions. It is fraught with their DESTRUCTION if ruffered to continue. The' moral odium of it would in the end debase us all, and no debased people can in the nature of things remain a free, self governing people. n n It has been difficult to get some people to understand that our rail roads are not private roads, but are PUBLIC HIGHWAYS, Juat as much so as our roads which run alongside of them. A railroad U not a private monopoly, although we must acknowl edge that those in control of our railroads are, iu their origin and the very law of their being public highways, subject to the regulation and control of government. Every one may two them on equal terms. Any favoritism in rates is absolutely unlawful AND ALWAYS WAS. IT IS THE, GUILTY RAILROAD OFFICIAL, HOWEVER HIGH, AND EVEN THOUGH HE MAY HAVE ARISEN TO A HIGH PLACE IN THE COUN8ELS AND GOVERNMENT OF THE NATION, OR IF HE BE ONLY THE LOCAL STATION AGENT IN THE VILLAGE OR THE LONELIEST PLACE, WHO SHOULD BE PROSECUTED. This favoritism in freight rates is the greatest crime of our day and generation To allow one man or tet of men to have their freight car ried over the public highways at a rate so much lower than that which their rivals in biu-iut sti arc charged as to enable them to undersell euch rivals AND EVEN DRIVE THEM OUT OF BUSINESS is ao heartle -s and so damnable that we shall be looked back upon by our descendants and by the future historian as a generation lost to moral sense for having suffered such a condition to exist so long. t n This favoritism in freight rates has been such a DEEP SEATED abuse that it is not to bo eradicated in years. Those who are profiting by it namely, the few who control our railroads, our iron highways, and then principally the great trusts, and lastly politicians and public men who are in their pay are not to give up easily such a source of wealth and power. It Is my belief that the GOVERNMENT should appoint the gen eral freight agent of every railroad, and it may have to do so, for he, through his subordinates, could stop the abuse at once. THE DUTY OF 8UCH OFFICIALS WOULD NOT BE TO FIX RATES, BUT TO SEE THAT EVERY ONE PAID THE PRESCRIBED RATE. NO MORE AND NO LESS. timH Nnrvoun Women Make Unhappy Homes As the Spring develops the Inspec tor with the keen sense of emell get the scent of oleo and lmpresscth the exactions of the pure food law upofi ye sordid restauranteur.

At Easter we like to believe the jan itor Is right, that Spring has came, even while our teeth chatter. Sicilian lemon brokers have agreed to abolish rebates. That's all! Beautiful, snowy, wintry, Spring! Aw! Let's all go fishing! A Woman Tells How to Relievt Rhsu matio Pains. I have been a great sufferer from the dreadful disease, rheumatism, for a number of years. I have tried many medicines but never got much relief from any of them until two years' ago, when I bought a bottle of Chamber lain's Pain Balm. I found relief be fore I had used all of one bottle, but kept on applying It and soon felt like a different woman. Through my advice many of my friends have tried it and can tell you how wonderfully it has worked. Mrs Sarah A. Cole, 140 S. New St., Dover, Del. Chamberlain's Pain Balm Is a liniment. The relief from pain which It afforJs Is alone worth many times the cost. It makes rest and sleep possible. For sale by I 'rank Hart and all leading druggists. in Ml tflCBAH, SILK. A dull, slu(gith liver slwsys brings m lull, sluggish feeling to the entire body. When the liver works properly the blood courses through the body in s bright red ttresm. When the liver is insetive the blood becomes dull and muddy, and it is full of poisonous mstter. , A (rest many people try to get a fine, clear, pink end white eomplexion by rubbing things on their feces. They might rub s life time sad the ssme yellow complexion would remain for the liver csuses it. Only bright, red blood brings fine complexions. Blood losded with impurities from the liver sends the impurities out through the pores of the skin and turns the skin brownish yellow. To get rid of the dull, heevy feeling sod muddy, yellow complexion get the liver to working again. Two bottles of Coop er's New Discovery will do this nine times out of ten though sometimes it takes four or five bottles. Here's what msn who tried it isyil "My health had been poorly for seversl years. My face wai yellow end covered with pimples, I wss bothered constantly with chronie constipation, bsd little or no sppetite end could not sleep well at night. I became weak and lost all ambition. I tried many different medicines but nothing seemed to help mo until I began taking Cooper's New Diicovery. It seemed to help me at once. Now, after I hsve taken several bottles I feel entirely well. My face is clear, I sleep well, hsve good sppetite end im quite myself again." 'I am deeply grateful for my restored health." Michael Silk, 24 Kentucky Ave., Indianapolis, Ind.
