THE AST OF WAITING.
The hardest thing the average Aiueri
can hag to learn is the art of waiting
He is so used to rushing everything,
even his meajs, and utiliiing the last
second of his waking time, that he can
not bear to wait. He thinks he is wait
ing something, or is being done out of
something, or that the other fellow is
getting ahead of him in some way; his
patience is HQ and his calculations up
set by the mere suggestion. j
There are people who really believe
that no good can come to Astoria unless
it comes while they are thinking about
it; that the only virtue of ac-cesa lies
in its instant realixation; they are not
willing to bide their time and the time
of those to whom she must look for
the happy overtures; and therein lies
their folly, for time is of the essence
of all things, good or bad, and it pays
ta cultivate the art of waiting in order
to be always on time, never ahead nor
behind it. '
Those people who are always looking
for the audden and unaccountable boom,
here, and elsewhere, are only doing the
fcolih stunt of forcing the hand of
time, and will learn to their sorrow that
things inopportune are often worse than
those things which never come to pass.
Patience may be made to count its
value in dollars as well as any other
useful attribute. ' '

they are never allowed to disappear as
ordinary correspondence is, but waae
to holster the future of those who bold
them, with a devotion that U almost
ndiculous. And at some inopportune
moment, under conditions when alienee
h the dearest quality known, they spring
into the vivid ht of extraordinary
crisis, to the misery of the author and
the discredit and bad faith of the per
son who aids in their development. - The
rule is older than, recorded time itself,
and there are myriads of wrvtehed ex
smplos of the lia4er that lies In their
test and Its publicity. Presidents, gov
cmors. senators, congressmen, and all
the leaser hosts of civie servants, have
figured in thesa episodes, and proven
the measure of dancer, and it would
seem the lesson is ineffective, aa the
habit goes on, and steadily furnishes its
frequent illustration of incalculable
folly.
A LIVELY SUMMER.
There is a lively and delightful sea
son cut out for the City by the-Sea, The
coming of Vke-Presidsnt Fairbanks,
during the coming month; the big cele
bration being arranged for the "glorious
Fourth; the extraordinary pleasure,
rare and new, of the great Scandinav
ian aangerfest in August, and the in
dispensable and altogether enjoyable an
nual regatta about September first,
forms a series of events to which this
whole country is looking forward with
sheer delight; and all these things,
mind you, aside from the charm and
cheery engagements of ordinary life in
this favored section, where the summer
end fall months are but one long period
of pleasure upon the mere hypothesis
of existence. It is worth one's while to
dwell in Astoria at any time, but this
year it is to be a downright privilege,1
and is certain to be widely appreciated
by the tens of thousands who have
billed their outings here or hereabout, 1
SAFETY 15 HONESTY.
President Roosevelt, in his Indiana
polis speech on Memoral Day, lays es-
pecial stress on' the value of honesty in
public life and urges reprisals against
the dishonest man wherever he may be
found. Of course, this doctrine is older
than the hills, but there are times when
it is conspicuously to be exerted and
cherished; seasons when the cardinal
virtue is in an eclipse, as it were, and
must be drawn into the fullness of
iight and public and estimate; when the
people get too careless and their in
difference begets a scope of dishonesty
that is likely to become chronic throuh
out the nation and we are frightened
at its universal aspect.
Most men are, primarily, honest, and
remain so until example, or chance, or
specific allurement weakens their ad
herance to the principle, and one small
lapse succeeds another, until the ex
ception becomes a rule, and the once
honest man is calloused against the
sway of conscience. The president is
right when he tells the people to "hunt
such a man out of public life." But the
trouble lies with the people. They will
not protect themselves against the com
mon danger, but wait until its grossness
awakens a broad enough sentiment
around them to warrant their expres
sion and aid. There is too much lati
tude given; too much dalliance with
the evil. To make a man responsible
for his first known departure from the
course of rigid honesty, is to save him,
as well all others affected by his derelic
tion. There is no safety in human asso.
ciation, unless there be honesty, pure
find simple. This is an organic standard
however unpopular it may be with those
whose codes are notoriously elastic and
who disparage the rigor of the rule.

DANGEROUS LETTER WRITING.
' The man in exalted place who culti
vates the habit of letter writing is
putting his "head in the lion's mouth."
Great men's letters are cherished as none
others are, and they are kept in secret
places hoarded and cherished and
EDITORIAL SALAD.
Four battle ships of the Dreadnaught
type have been contracted for in the
British shipyards in the name of Brazil
and Argentina, but it is believed they
are a speculative investment and will
be offered for sale. The sudden transfer
to any navy of such leviathans would
be somewhat sensational.

D
Making a bid for popular patronage needs 110 diplomacy, finesse or sharpness in its management. Plain,
clean, honest methods are what the public tie to. These methods you will find in force here at all timca. We
attribute our success in a great measure to their practice. We are here to serve you faithfully; want this store
to be pointed out and spoken ot as the place where all classes of the community may come and feel that they
are being dealt with in absolute fairness. ? All ready for the summer business now. Got a store full of.
Bright, New Merchandise to tell you about.
Cap. John Smith's portrait adorn
the 1-cent postage stamp issued in
honor of the Jamestown exposition. If
the members of the Smith family will

stamps the new postmaster general
will be sble to report a surplus instead
of a deficit.
' In the present population of the
United States are 1,200,000 Canadians
who have removed to this country.
For every American who migrates to

United States to crow no with the

The annual consumption of beer in
the United States amounts to eighteen
gallons per capita. The figures do not,
of course, include the export to Kansas;
Spring, the shy young thing, will
soon be three months sby, with Both

over to summer.
COMFORTING WORDS.
Many a Astoria Household W1U Find
Them So.
To have the pains and aches of a bad
back removed; to be entirely free, from
annoying, dangerous urinary disorders is
enough to make any kidney sufferer
grateful. To tell how this great change
can be brought about will prove com
forting words to hundreds of Astoria
readers.
Mrs. Captain C. G. Groves, of 824
Raleigh street, Portland, Or., says:
"Lapse of time has not lessened the con
fidence I have had in Doan's Kidney
Pills since February, 1903, when I pub
licly recommended them. I had used
them in treating kidney trouble of
several years' standing. It originally
started with dull aching in the small of
back over the kidneys. Colds aggravated
the trouble and made the pain sharp and
acute. ' Any extra exertion would bring
on a prostrating attack. I had tried var
ious remedies for the trouble without
avail, but Doan's Kidney Pills began to
help me right after I started using them.
They gradually banished the backache
and pain in the loins, strengthened the
