OREGON'S LABOR REPRESENTATION
One hundred delegates from the Ore
gon State branch of the National Fed
eration of Labor (the mightiest organi
zation of its kind in the world, and the
most effective, because the cleanest), are
in annual session in this city, in the in
terests of the world's work and work
ers, as these figure and pperate in this
division of the Northwest. They are,
officially, of course, the guests of the
local Federation group and are being
thoroughly well taken care of.
These earnest, clever men are engaged
in the superlative task of up-lifting
labor and advancing the standards of
progress all along the line of diversified
industry throughout the state they rep
resent. The mission is among the noblest
on earth and compassed with difficulties
-whose range is as great as the profound
interest that is given them so ungrudg
ingly. Every atom of success is a
triumph, and every triumph a land-mark
in history; since, of the two master
forces of civilization, capital and labor,
the latter holds cardinal and . undis"
turbable primacy in the world of human
activity and progress. The doctrine of
exchange giving it an imperishable pre
cedenee. Labor and the fruits of labor
may be made of universal current use
to man, while mere money, unbacked by
the impulse of labor is valueless, abor
tive and non-essential. This, of course,
in the abstract sense. Under (so-called)
civilized conditions, as they exist today,
capital is juf-t as profound a quality in
the adjustment of human affairs as
labor, since neither can operate with any
freedom or success without the otheT;
the one uneseapable lesson to be learn
ed by both, 1 the. discovery, and esiao
lishment, of that parallel upon which
both may reach an ultimate of achieve
ment. The search for this line of merg-
ance and correlated action has been go
ina on for untold centuries:, and we
with all mankind, shall be infinitely glad
of its unfolding, and would not feel the
less happy, if the hidden principle shall
emanate from some such assemblage as
this. I
At all events, we wish the Federation
a pleasant and successful issue from the
meeting and a year full of genuine suc
cesses along the largest and best of its
ambitions.

THE MAYOR'S MESSAGE.
the opening of Commercial street to
Smith's Point, are beyond all adverse
argument, and his presentment of the
gas franchise issue, is indisputable.
The message is entitled to close
scrutiny by every citizen since the major
tone of the document touches the civic
pride and property interest of all hands
aud is a fair exposition of the present
real status of the municipality.
OUR REPUTATION.
The annual levies for public revenue
in the civic divisions for which Clatsop
stands, are not so burdensome as they
might have been, considering the fact
that the reputation of the City of As
toria has not been marketed this year.
The cuttins of the county levy 12 mills
and the advance of the municipal levy
11 mills, leaving us a null to the good
over I'M)", and a "conscience void of
offense" on the score of the usual nasty
dicker 'with the dives. It is a long and
n wholesome step and worth paying for.
and sine we are paying less than usual.
the appreciation of the change, to nor
mal regulation, should be genuine, and
universal, and it no doubt is.
Astoria, with the next lowest burden
of taxation of all cities in the Northwest
is well prepared to meet her civic obliga
tions fairly and fully, and face the
world in 1908 minus the pestiferous pres.
tige of being the only "wide-open' town
in the state.
This is a condition for which the Morn-
in Astorian has fought for years and it,
with all its patronage, and the general
local public, realizes the efficacy of the
attitude, 'whatever the source that
wrought it.

Street Improvements.
Tlie system of street Improvements
planned Vv tills Council is of paramount
importance. Among the as improve- (
incut there are two to which I must rc
fer cspeeinllv; j
ir1rl-Tlie Improvement of Irving
Avenue from Ninth to Fortieth Street.
SecondThe extension of Commercial

With the living Avenue Improvement,
e a.lvl another connecting link Mween
Knst and West Astoria. So longer will
we lie in danger of being Isolated in easu
the roadway to the east end of the city,
burns down, ami, besides, the opening
of a through street up on the hill makes
the residence section more accessible,
and offers nil inducement for the estab-j
lihhnient of an iiiterurban line; foe, by,
being able to run cars from Fort Stevens,
aud Warienton to the eastern limits ol
our c tv. with .branches down town,
gaged in it, then White Jt Black would j tmif ,.ouideriibl revenue In
The system made easy tort tines possiuie
and it was thought that one set of men
might as well make them as another.
It took more courage for those, men to
conduct such enterprises in the face of a
hostile public sentiment and against the
laws of Nature and of the State, than
for us, the rest of the ieople, to take
revenue from them and then scoin them
and villify the officers of the law for
doing their sworn duty. I am conscious
of the fact that it hurts some while a
change is being enforced in the e-titb-lished
habits of a community. A cancer
cannot be removed without causing pain
but is it better to let the cancer grow
until relief is impossible! Something
had to le done! It hn been done, mid
now let us from this day on forget it

sttwt is also necessary was proven hut
fall wlwn llond street -mb being re

seoarnted from the rest of the city for
weeks, bereft of lire protection and put!

body, so must each connecting link
bring more life into the body politic. 1
While upon the subject of street Im
provements, I wiisider it but just to say
that the honorable im-tnbcri of the

people have any idea how much time

Mayor Wise has clearly stated the
pregnant facts of finance and adminis
trative necessities confronting the city
for the year 1908.
There is much to be done, and less
than usual, in the way of resource,
wherewith to do it. He takes high ground
in the matter of the abatement of the
"blood-money" revenue, and every re
SDectable citizen here, and abroad, will
commend his conclusions as fast as they
are read.
The municipal levy leaves the city
second from the lowest in the whole
state as to the per capita imposition for
tTi -pear, despite the claring fact that
an extraordinary deficit lias had to be
met from the safer and cleaner reliance
unon direct taxation.
His recommendations are few and to
the point,, so far as expediency and good
government are concerned, nor do they
, involve any great expenditure of public
money, This is closely in line witn ine
nrevailins sentiment for economy. His
demand for the improvement of the
waterfront is entirely apropos and
should be heeded the, urgency in con
nection with the thorough and early
completion of , the Irving avenue im-
To Healing Air of Hyomei Sold Under
Guarantee by T. F. Laurin.
Catarrh is the most prevalent disease
known to humanity. Probably 1)0 per
cent of the people in this country suilcr
at one time or another with this com
mon disease.
It is a irerm disease and hence can be
cured only by some method that will
reach and destroy the germs.
This is best found in Hyomei, wnicn
may be called the direct method of treat
ing" catarrh, as its medication, taken in
with the air you breathe, goes directly
to every air cell in the nose, throat and
lungs; kills all catarrhal germs; heals
the irritated mucous membrane and
vitalizes the tissues so as to render
catarrh no longer possible.
The unique -way in wnicn nyomei is
sold should dispel all doubt as to its
curative properties, for T. F. Laurin
gives his absolute guarantee to refund
the price to any catarrh suUerer that
Hvoniei fails to benefit. You do not
risk a cent in testing its healing powers.
What offer could be more iair to you
than this, where a leading druggist takes
all the risk of Hyomei giving satisfac
tion, and leaves you to be the judge.
Lane's Family Medicine will give you
a digestion that will permit you to eat
eood things Instead of "health foods" of
various sort thai are as palatable as
hay.
