JUST A CASUAL WORD.
Not In long yean has the Astoria
Chamber of Commerce stood in such
light and attituJo as It stanJs today
.under the clever managerial touch ot
J. H. White; and this without depreca
tion ot the men who have gone before,
The Chamber la an accepted Instltu-
tion and Is recognised all over the
northwest as one of the standard ele
ments that must figure in the general
advance now making. It Is commonly
acceeded all over the city that Mr
White is doing his utmost in the way
of initative and the brightest hope is
abroad that he has big successes ahead
and will reach them in due season.
There is no sign of discouragement
anywhere, and that means a vast deal
to him and to the community he re
presents. If his personality and his
plans can ward, off all phases of de
pression and keep alive the active
sense of achievement and promise, he
and his colleagues . will be doing
practically all that can be expected,
until the big things that we want
are at hand to energise and give di
rection to the new impulses insepera
ble from them. This is but a casual
word in behalf of a man and his work
in which Astoria has a profound Inter,
est. and will, we are certain, find ready
echo In the minds of all who have
kept place with Mr. White's work and
methods.

SPECULATIVE FRANCHISES
One of the detested elements of mun
lclpal life is the speculative franchise;
the gift of the people that is played
with, tossed from pillar to post and
made a bagatelle In the market, until
its Initial value is warped in the mesh
of a questionable deal and, oftener
than not, It is at last spurned and cast
aside by the beneficiaries. Astoria
has bad her share of these things and
Is not in a humor to Indulge in any
more.
She has granted a new electric street
franchise that Is to be merged with
one granted by the county In . con
tlnulty for service beyond the city
limits, and the hope of the whole com,
munlty Is that something will be done
with the concession that will signify
the appreciation of those whom they
have been granted. Both city and
county are In absolute need of the
services Inherent In thla new venture
and the faithful performance of the
contract by the holders will be a boom
to the entire population affected, and
a wholesome expression, of the pro,
gresslve idea now dominant In Astoria
and Clatsop. Town and country wish
the projectors the best of fortune In
the case and reserve the gratification
of patronage when the lines shall be
In readiness.
THE TURN OF THE TIDE."
The era of strikes and of far-reach-tng
labor agitation is upon us and It
brings to the thoughtful mind the
dreary conviction of reaction, the
stemming of the tide of pjosperity,
Just as It has done from time Imme
morial. There is no more reliable
forecast to be. made, than this, and
the workman has himself to thank for
the reversal, nine times out of ten.
It Is not that his pleas for better
wages and shorter hours are unjust
but because of the failure on his part
to recognize the proper limitations
In his program of advancement He
asks too much, takes denial too seri
ously, and goes to far upon too flimsy
a pretext; he relies on the sentiment of
the public at large to Influence cap
italistic power In his favor, after forc
ing that public to boar the brunt of
the weight of deprivation and advanc
ed cost ot living, wrought by hU im
placable demands, thut too often ex
ceed the latitude of the current mark
ets to supply. The public Is not averse
to standing for all reasonable and
timely efforts in behalf ot labor and
It knows, to a nicety, whett, and where
to use Its prestige In the Interest of
the worklngnmn, ami Is equally posted
on the necessity of withholding It; and
not until organised labor shnll ttike
this into account and apply it to their
uropasmnda, will It reserve to Itself
the unfailing support ot a generous
public in its strife for proper recognl
tion at the hands ot monled promoters
and agenclea.
1 The public Is tired of bearing the
Onus and charge ot strike-prices tor
all the common necessities ot lite, ea
peclally m they are never abated
when the strike Is settled, but attach
for all time.
' When the workman understands that
he la not dealing with the money-power
alone, bat that his warfare passes hot
foot across the home camp at millions
that would sympathise with him If
they could, placing new burdens en
their work and purses, he will be In
i better position to achieve something
The world of ordinary people is wholly
in accord with the man who works be,
Cause he is near to them and closely
identified with them In the pursuit of
the chance to live and prosper, but It
Is the first to feel the access of cost
thrust' upon It by the strikers, and also
the first to feel the weight of the new
conditions Imposed by resentful cap
ital. The question Is a largo one and
worth profound study In quarters
whence It rises primarily.

TUTES RELATING TO TRUST8.
Not much is being said by the log
gers iwho comprise the Yellow Fir
Loggers' Association ot the Columbia
River of their meeting which was held
in Portland last Saturday and It l
given out by them that the meeting
was a secret session and not for pub
lication. It spems that the loggers have
got wise since their previous meetings
and the word has been passed down
the line that they have
much and have put the mill owners
next to what they are doing and Intend
to do. On the other hand some of the
mill men ere talking sassy and say
that the organization is nothing but a
big log trust and the manipulators of
it could give pointers to the great
steel trust, and that the members have
made themselves liable for prosecution
under the United States entl-trust
laws. One prominent mill man said
the other day "it is about time for
the long suffering worm to turn, and
it is about time for us to begin to
fight, back, and their Is liable to be
something doing In the way of an in
junction that wUl make the Tellow Fir's
hair curl If the loggers think they
can form a close corporation and
boost the price of logs they are mis
taken,"

1 suffered with rheumatism for over
two years," says Mr. Rolland Curry, a
patrolman, of Key West, Fla. "Some
times It settled In my knees and lamed
me so I could hardly walk, at other
times it would be in my feet and hands
so I was Incapacitated for duty. One
night when I was in severe pain and
lame from it my wife went to the drug
store here and came back with, a bot
tie of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I
was rubbed with it and found the pain
had nearly gone during the night. I
kept on using It for a little more than
two weekg and found that it drove the
rheumatism away. I have not had
any trouble from that disease for over
two months." For sale by Frank Hart
