V SQUARELY IN THE FIELD.
Portland might aa well make up her
mind that before another 12 months roll
'round Astoria will be squarely in the
field for a share of the maritime com
merce of Oregon and the Northwest. In
deed, she has made up her mind to this
long ago, and gave sharp testimony of
her conviction when the Port of Colum
bia bill was framed up, sneaked through
the legislature, and fell to pieces before 1
the inquisitorial handling of the supreme j
court.
None know better than the business;
men of the metropolis that this port is
i&fimteV the best on the upper coast
and that sooner, or later, it must be
utilized, for all it is worth, in the cheap
ening of marine freights, hence, and
hither. It has been the one living dread
of Portlanders, for years and years, and
the approaching realization but accen
tuates the alarm. The wonder is, she
does not do, of her own volition, and at
ter own cost, what she threatened to do
means of the law alluded to: Buy a
fleet of tugs, train a new group of bar
pilots, deepen the 112 miles of two riv
ers between her and the sea, and make
Ler last stand for the business.
Whether she does this, or not, she will
achievement, the swifter come the pro
fit; and this is enhauced, of course, by
the time saved in its realization
The policy may be alright, but we be
lieve it is killing the race, abridging its
usefulness and crippling its thorough
ness, as well as tampering with its
standards and lowering the universal
tone of individual ambition. The pace
does not permit the play of the finer in
stincts of the artisan whose genius be
comes the rival of the machine; a rivalry
that robs the master-mind of its best
conceptions on the poor pretext that it
cannot be wrought out "in time"; and
the rule governs all along the course of
prescribed human endeavor. Money is
the sole stimulus and it must be made
rapidly 'and in great volumne, if the
operator wants to stay in the van of
action and success.
Time, and money; seep, and greed;
this is tho combination that is driving
us relentlesslv on the road of life, either
to the snubbing-post of old-time com
mon sense; of to the brink and fall of
brain and body exhaustion.

BRYAN OUT OF THE RUNNING
Political Gossip Has It That A Great
Amount of Scheming And Planning
Has Already Commenced For The
Campaign In 198-
WASHINGTON, D. C Oct. 7. With
the coming of Senator's and Representa
tives who make their real homes in
Washington, on account of having child;
ren or grandchildren in our schools, aud
there are a good many of them, the
Presidential campaign may be said to
have opened, as it is well known that
the wires are laid in this city which con
trol the nominations and platforms of
both parties, and he is blind, indeed, who
cannot see that they are being industri
ously laid at this time.
Up until now the supporters of Mr.
Bryan have been disposed to take things
very easy, believing that all he had to do
was to reach out and take the demo
cratic nomination, but they are now sit
attending and studying the sessions of a
legislative body." . 1
If President Small, of the Telegraph
ers' Union has his way, and he thinks
he will, combined organized labor of the
country will take up the question of
the government ownership of telegraph
lines and try to bring pressure enough
on Congress to compel some legislation
on' the subject at the coming session. If
thov can't cn the- thing all the way
through, they will try for something
that will pave the way for government
ownership. In private conversation Mr.
Small has said that Samuel Gompers.
head of the A. F. L, was with him on
this question, but Sam has not pub
licly committed himself or his organiza
tion.

Although most of the blame attached
to Secretary Loeb for happenings con
nected with or concerning President
Roosevelt is known by him, and by
everybody else, to be humorous, or at
least intended to be, he has grown sen
sitive about it, so his intimates say.
Whether this is because he lacks the
sense of humor deponent saith not, but
anyway that is said to be the principal
reason why he will not accompany the
President on the Louisiana bear-hunt.
He left Washington with the Presi
dential party, but will switch off on
the Mississippi and go to Wyoming,
where he will spend a month camping
out. As one of his friends recently said:
"Loeb is all right, but at times his in
growing importance gets on his nerves
and makes him do fool-stunts."

always command the situation and the ing up and taking notice. The imme
commerce, here; because, she is the prin
ciple depot for Oregon in all such mat
ters, and among the greatest in the
Northwest, and cannot be dislodged. It
is right and proper that she should have
and hold this position as long as there
is no other city or port to challenge her
supremacy. We have always conceded
this ,as stoutly as we have maintained
our right to be the sea-port of the Co
lumbia Basin. But the inevitable laws
of economy, despatch, and safety will
prevail, in the end, to make Astoria the
chief sea-gate and distributing-point for
the coming and going cargoes of the
whole territory.
The Oregonian's futile efforts to mis
lead its readers by misquoting this
paper, and by quoting such mere words
and sentences as can be distorted to its
purposes, has no bearing on the real
issue: the dav for keeping Astoria in
the background has passed, and we must
be reckoned with, for all time to come,
on this big, and fundamental, lay-out.
Things are coming our way and we are
wholly alive to the situation and will
contest every inch of ground over which
the engagement is carried. We are not
fighting the battle altogether alone, and
the sooner Portland admits this, and
takes her proper place in the new align
ment, the better for all concerned.
diate cause of this is the activity and
aggressiveness of those who are boom
ing Lieut. Gov. Chandler, of New lorh,
for the nomination. The Chandler boom
is distinctly anti-Bryan, and some re
markable claims are being made for it.
One of them is that at the proper time

strength and influence of the Indepen

sufficient support to justify it. me
Chandler men are also using President
Roosevelt to knock Bryan, saying that
if Brvan is nominated Roosevelt will run
makin2 his defeat certain. They
also sar that Bryan cannot possibly
carrv New York, and that no democrat
can win without it. One curious feature
of the Chandler boom is the attitude of
southern democrats toward it. Thoug

his nomination originated in the south

INVITE A TEST.
T. F. Lawrens Asks Catarrh Sufferers
To Try Hyomei on Their
Guarantee.
T. F. Laurin invites all who suffer
from any form of catarrhal troubles to
get a Hyomei outfit from them with
their absolute guarantee that if it does
not give perfect satisfaction, the money
will be refunded upon repuest.
There is no other treatment for cat
arrh that in any way resembles Hymoei.
none that gives such puick curative re
sults and lasting satisfaction, no medi
cine that can take its place, none, that
can be sold on a guarantee like this, to
refund the money unless it cures.
Catarrh is a germ disease and can be
cured only by breathing Hyomei, so that
the most remote air cells in the nose,
throat and lungs are reached by its an
tiseptic healing powers. In this way all
catarrhal gemis are killed, the irritated
mucous membrane is healed and catarrh
is driven from the system.
This wonderful medicated air treat
ment does not drug and derange the
stomach, but is breathed through a little
pocket inhaler that goes with every dol
lar outfit.
The unusual way in which T. F. Lau
rin sells Hyomei attests his confidence
in the remedy.

SPEED, AND GREED.
The most superficial analysis of con
ditions in America, today, leaves the
thinker with the conviction that, as a
whole, this people is profoundly addicted
to two peculiar ambitions, speed, and
creed. The latter is admittedly the main
cause of the former. The get-rick-quick
theory is not the' distinctive character
istiv of the faker and fraud: it is al
most national in "itB type and expression
and grows more intense with each sue
ceeding day.
All the elements of caution, safety,
and success are bent and blended in the
doctrine of haste; no other argument is
permitted to interfere with it. The man
who can do a thing the fastest is the
man of the hour, be he mechanic, or
builder, op projector, or what-not; time
ia of the essence, not only of contracts
but. of every phaBe and engagement of
human activity; and the swifter the
motion of thought and action and
As sentiment is almost wholly un
naturally followed the statement that
W. R. Hearst wishet to go to the fcenate
because his father was a Senator. This
statement was made by a man known to
ave close personal relation witn. Air,
Hearst, or it would have received ecatt
attention. The scheme, a outlined by
those who profess to known, is for
Hearst and the Independence League to
support Chandler for the Presidential
nomination, and then for the combma
tion to support Hearst for the Senate, if
control of the New York legislature can
be secured, as successor to Tom Piatt,
Inasmuch as President Roosevelt is un
derstood to have his eye on that same
seat in the Senate, 'this indicates the
hottest kind of a fight for control of
the legislature. Mr. Hearst would not
find the surroundings very congenial in
the Senate, if he succeeded in getting
there. A well known Senator, speaking
of hirr said:: "Whatever else Hearst
may be, his career as a member of the
House during which I am sure he never
occupied his seat 20 days in all proved
that he was not a legislator. Legisla
tion, like any other game, must be learn
ed before it tan be creditably played,
and the only way it can be learned is by
BOOKER JR. IN A HUFF.
EXETER, N. II., Oct. 7. Booker T.
Washington Jr. has withdrawn from
Phillips Exeter academy and left the
village because he felt he was being dis
criminated against on account of his
color. J. E. Gomez, a Cuban, who was
Washington's roommate, left at the
same time, as reported for the same rea
son.y Principal Amen said there was no
discrimination, but that young Wash
ington broke some of the rules of the
institution and was disciplined. Gomez,
he explained, wat offended because a
professor asked where Washington was.
