We have often heard the excuse
urged against this rule by organised
labor, to-wlt, that the employing pe'
pie would always be catling for the
lower strades of workmen In order to
have the work done at the lowest pos
sible cost, but this eould be obviated
by a counter rule that certain element
of work , must be done by the best
craftsmen, a rule that would be soon
recognised aa safe and wholesome. At
all events, there haa got to be a atart
made, that will wipe out the most for.

PUBLIC FOUNTAINS.
A clever stranger In Astoria, re-
nuirksd to a citlsen. yesterday. In a
casual way. that "it seemed the city
was short on public drinking foun
tains: that back where he came from
i there were fourteen handsome drink
lug stations about the town, put up by
. the different fraternities, and that each
.had tried to outdo the other In their
gifts, the consequence being that the
.place bristled with fine utilities of this
sort"; ail of which struck the home
. man as good text for public comment
Astoria can well stand for several
more fountains along the long Una of
Its east, and west traverse, and they
would be appreciated most tfcorouf hjy.
The saloon is alright for such luxur
ious beverages as are wanted at Cer
tain intervals by certain people, end
the council, the fraternities, civic
. bodies, br Well disposed individuals,
may attain to marked and appreciative
recognition, by installing one, or may.
as time and circumstances may dictate.
Jt Is not merely adults that are in
cluded in such public spirited mani
festations; the very children are the
real beneficiaries.

SCHWAB SOUNDS KEYNOTE.
Charles M. Schwab, the great steel
"master of this country, Is in San
Francisco, and in an interview anent
the ugly strike there, has given public
expression to certain views on the
labor question that are timely and
wise. We have never thought very
much of Mr. Schwab as an exponent
of labor theories, but he is one of the
largest employers of labor In the world
. and surely knows some things
are pertinent and essentiaL
He avers that labor conditions in
the Bay City have, for years, been such
. as to make it practically Impossible
for manufacturing capital to operate
there at a profit and mentions specific
losses of his own to prove It The
feature of his declaration Is, that the
matter of wage and hours has no
bearing on the question he la raising.
It is the quality of the service ren
dered, which la far below the accepted
mechanical standards and practically
worthless to the Investing and produc
Ing factor.
This statement is very vital and one
, that organized labor has got to take
Into actual and practical consideration
- very soon or give up Its prestige, be
cause It is going to assail that pres
tige as time goes on and work to Its
detriment The great unions of the
country are the custodians,: sponsors
and champions of labor, skilled and
unskilled, and It devolves upon them
to so classify and arrange the people
and the service it stands for as avoid
Imposing upon the public by sending
9Ut interiorly equipped men under the
guise of highly skilled and long trained
craftsmen to draw the wages they
cannot repay in work. This Is a car.
dinal complaint of the employing
class and it must be heard and admit
ted soon, or the merit of unionism will
be sharply challenged some 'day to Its
own undoing.
Let the big trades establish three
classes of workmen, first, second and
third; put these clashes upon' three
separate scales of wage so clearly cut
as to plainly Indicate the real value of
the divisions, and the employer will
know what to hire and appreciate
what he gets and pay for it with some
sense of compensation. It Is only)
Justice to the fine craftsman; and it
THE QUIET INQUIRER.
That four-runner of real things in
every community, the quiet inquirer.
Is in our midst He) la not oonspteu
6ua, nor Insistent nor obtrusive, but
he Is here, prosecuting Intelligent in
vesttgatlon and summing up the ad
vantages and disadvantages of the
city- and country and meeting a few
people with whom he will do business
In the early future; and he Is one to
be honestly and cleverly cultivated.
He Is no fool and has not travelled
several thousand miles with his snug
capital to be worsted, or done for; he
Is the man we have been looking for,
for years, and he Is to be our fellow-
cltlzen If we make him welcome and
give him a show to come In and estab
lish himself. He Is one of the 40.000
that have come out to the coast by
virtue of the low west-bound rates
that have been In vogue, and now
that he Is on the coast It is our busi
ness to see that he stayes and stayes
because it Is Jo his Interest to do so.
If we do not keep him. It will be be
cause we do pot. use food Judgement.)
a.nS to be gutlty of error In that line,
Is to confess ourselves unworthy of
his confidence and patronage. Keep
your eye on the quiet Inquirer; he is
of foe very substance of our future!

; Irritation Will Be Quickly Cured.
The most Irritating and annoying
form of cough is that termed bronchial.
People subject to bronchial troubles
whenever there Is a change in the
weather or they are exposed to a draft

is very disagreeable, Irritating an J
annoying.
. Bronchial troubles cannot be cured
by stomach dosing. The medicated air
of Hy-o-mel Is the only treatment that
reaches the affected parts and gives
relief and cure. It destroys all the
disease germs that are present In the
nose, throat and lungs, soothes and re
lleves the irritated mucous membrance
in all parts of the bronchial tubes and
quickly overcomes the Irritation.
