Idaho Rain, possibly snow; "warmer. 1F." If the shadows of war shall ever fail ' athwart the North American coasts and these United State be a party to th. engagement, aa opposed to England or any of England's allies, it will come to pass that this port of Astoria will in Btantly awing into line and fame as one of the three great harbors of refuge, supply and basic value, for the navy operating against the enemy. This will not be denied anywhere. JJavv, therefore, we insist that it is time the Government was looking to the proper equipment of these waters and the establishment of such primary agen cies as are likely to be needed in such an event, such as a drydock, great ma chine shops, gun-parks, and all the elements of a first-class navy yard The time, the place, the predicate, all are plainly adequate to justify the earliest action in this direction, and this warning is as timely and tasential as any other phase of the problem that awaits solution, and it is up to tire Oregon delegation to take steps as are appropriate. When they go to work, it will be well to remember, and avow ac cordingly, that the proposition is not an Aatorkn idea; that there are hundreds of thousands of people in the great Northwest profoundly interested in tbis project and that it is in the interest of the country at large and not a cheap local matter for Astoria, Portland nor Oregon. Puget Sound, in such a promise as laid down here, iwould be out of the run ning, until the State of Washington shall build a canal from the mouth of the Columbia to the Sound, before the accomplishment of which a good deal is likely to have happened; and for this reason, that State would best be at work on this score. It will take time to force this thing through th impervious hide of the Easterner to whom the United States and the Atlantic seaboard are synoni mous terms and this winter is as late, aa justice and common, sense can stand for, in the taking up of so grave and nertifu a proposition. 0 I A BUREAUCRATIC ROW. That the war between the staff and Une of the United States navy hag as sumed radical and righteous dimensions, is proven by the direct refusal of Bear Admiral BrOwnson, of the Bureau of Navigation, to obey the order of Presi dent Roosevelt to transmit his order as signing a naval surgeon to the absolute command of a hospital ship of the navy, and his prompt resignation from the service, after haW a century of de voted employment in that arm of the public defense. It is said thai the President him-lf fa plainly partial to the claims of the line officers (the fighting, and navigating officers, as contro-distinguished from the paymasters, engineers, physicians and other bereaucratic officers) and that the order was sent to the touchy old war-dog, Brownson,. with a view of precipitating the climax that will, in tan, precipitate an entire revolution end re-adjustment of the two branches. In the good old days before steam had wrought the change in the handling of ships, and sails and sailors supervened at all points, and the honors of war and peace fell alite to the trained seamen and navigators of the service, the doc tors and paymasters were in a position far more clearly defined, and accepted, U MONEY IS Suit of International Interest Now Before Supremo Conrt thaa tfcat tasy occupy today; and there was no trouble as between the staff and line. Now, the staiT corps is almost as essentia! and co:.spircuous as the lino. and it growing importance is lending (est and to: c to the claims u tho' who wore once but mere appenages to the service. Yet, we believ in justice to the immense value of thee depart Rental officers to t'.ie navy, that th'-y should be granted all the prominence and honor their professiot.s and their "aiiliiul work demand at the hands of the people and the government;' but that tbeir status and award and recog nition, should be very clearly distin guished from the cor.sideration shown to the real naval officer, the officer of thj line, the man who does the lighting, the navigating, and is in supreme com mand of the movements and history of each sepa.'ate atom of the great service. There should never be any mixing of the responsibilities; no merging of duties; no combinations of the prero gatives; no interference of authority; no ambiguous parallels of rank and pr.stige; no confusion of titles. It is dangerous to start these bureaucratic ros. They re-act on the staff, not on :he line; and to the landsman generally, they present the idea of disruption and disorganization, wh.n there is really no thought nor danger of any such thing. With due respect to all concerned we hope the issue of the present uprour will again accentuate the pre-eminence of the fighting arm of the naval service just as all similar disturbances have in the past since nothing must be permit- ted ever to weaken, lessen, or cripple that potent phase of the national de fense; we want no French' disorders in either our navy nor army; no disgrace ful scandals, nor unseemly rows. The feud is an old one, but the law of the land ar.d the safety of its people are above all the nasty social feude that ever existed; and if we are to descend to level of bureaucratic turmoil, it is to be hoped one fight will do for all time, and that the Presidential power will, intervene, one 'for all, in the mainten ance of the superior prerogative of the line and that Congress will back him to the limit Of its power. No one of sense ev?r deprecates the extraordinary value of the staff work and clientele; but the line officers are the real authori tative representatives of the people of these United States on the high seas,j and tbis should be made manifest at all hazards and religiously maintained. 0 ' Women with good complexions are never homely.

So this is the reason for the seaming coldness that haa sprung up between one Charles Curtis, Junior Senator from Kansas, and hia colleagues from Colorado and Wisconsin. Beware of Frequent Colds. A succession of colds or a protracted cold is almost certain to end in chroni: catarrh, from which few persons ever wholly recover. Give every cold the at tention it deserves and you may avoid this disagreeable disease. How can you cure a cold? Why not try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy? It is highly recom mended. Mrs. M. White, of Butler, Tenn taysi "Several years ago I was bothered with my throat and lungs. Someone told m of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. ' I began using it and it re lieved me at once. Now my throat and lungs are sound and well" For sal by Frank Hart and leading druggists.

Passed Examination Successfully James Donahue, New Britain, Conn, writes; "I tried several kidney remedies, and was treated by our best physicians for diabetes, but did not improve until I took Foley's Kidney Cure. After the second bottle I showed improvement, and five bottles cured me completely. I have since passed a rigid examination for life insurance." Foley's Kidney Cure cures back ache and all forms of kidney and bladder trouble. Sold by T. F. Laurin. Owl Drug Store. Senator Teller and LaFollette are just about getting the soreness out of their respective Jbdies and both look askance at Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas. It appears that the three Senators, who were appointed a committee to look in to the affairs of the Kiekapoo Imlians, had much traveling to do away from the railroads. They might have stuck to the Western buckboard in pursuing their investigations, but Senator Curtis pointed to his colleagues the glories of Life on the back of a Western mustang.

He has already received upwards if 250 replies, the majority of which are from the smaller and State banks. Of the total number received, 151 of the banks expressed themselvei as being 'n favor of government guaran tee for deposit and only 35 were against it. Those in favor of a postal savings bank law number twenty-three, while ififty-five are opposed to it. The opposition is baaed on the ground that postal savings banks would hurt banks of, small capital and be a great aid to the large national banks. Almost with Oujj exoepftSoni ttye Nebraskja bankers blame he Eastern banks, and especially the New York institutions for causing the flurry. They also are practically unanimous in favoring the government regulation and examination of trust( companies, similar to the present super vision exercised over national banks.
