It does sot make any particular dif ference whether war with Japan is im minent for the United' States, or not, the strategic importance of the mouth of the Columbia river and its full and early equipment as a great naval depot are imperative questions confronting the government . From San Francisco to St. Michaels, there is no euch adequate refuge as is offered by this bay and river for the work of war, either for land or -water forces. It must, under certain, and probable, conditions, take the place of Paget Sound and stand for the most northerly system of equipment, concentration, asylum, and strategic 'utility, on the whole upper coast. With the fortifications already at hand and the defensive energies attaching thereto, the establishment of the naval arm of protection will be an act of wis dom and foresight that will be justified during the first ten weeks of whatever engagement may ensue. This is the time, and the present Con gress the one, tb inaugurate the plan and provide tot its earliest possible comple tion; time wasted now, may never be accounted for to the people with any show of justification. We are not speak ing for Astoria in this connection, though, of course, such an establishment would mean much for this city; we are urging it as a matter of national sig nificance and as a step in the program of protection of the great Pacific Coast and its Northwestern territory. Port land, Seattle, Tacoma, all the great com mercial communities of this section, are involved in this line of defense and .would share mightily in the benefits in herent in it; and they should get behind it with the irresistable forces they possess and never rest until it is an assured fact. o A FOUL BLOW. ' The appellate court of California, the most of whose members it is said are about to retire to private life, has de livered a smashing blow, and withal a foul one, to the San Franciscans, by handing down a decision that practically frees the scoundrels she has, at immense cost in money, time end labor, put where they belonged; In other words, Eugene SdunHa appeal from the judgment of Judge Dunne has been sustained and he lias been ordered released on bail; and the ruling runs to the Buef case and ne- j gatives the action of the lower courts, in so far as the indictment against him is concerned, it being identical with that upon which bis confederate was tried mnd convicted. - ' i There are plenty of basis for further prosecution of these people, if the statute of limitations has not become operative; and iwe trust Ban Francisco will never -drop the war on these arch-scoundrels, until she has "landed them" beyond the eavil and influence of the law, 'or an in-' spired bench that passes upon it. ' ' V, V": "- 0 " " , " ji .-a.' THE OPTIMIST CLUB. ' New York City has an Optimist Club; and the keenest expression of ita optim ism is exhibited In its purpose to make 'the elub nation-wide.-'' In order to break the war for its happy ultimate, we suggest that Astoria 'form, at once, the western outpost cmd "of the national organization. Wo know of no better place for sucn en enter wise, Not that we are unduly dubious, or disheartened, or dismayed, but, on the contrary, nr notably cheerful and hopeful and ambitious, and such an or ganisation would preserve and augment our normal but rather negative, name ness. What we need is a disciplinary element of vivacity that inspires nenv ity and inculcates the desire to do some thin. More cood cheer, with a prop sensity for awaiting lively climaxes, is calculated to reduce our jocund state to a point of nervelessness and inanition in excess of that which now prevails; and the sooner the New York corrective is applied, the better for us all. : O LABOR MUST "GET NEXT." The recent annual convention of the State Federation of Labor in this city has evoked a good deal of comment hereabout anent the purposes and op portunities of this great elenidnt of human society; and from this passing talk we gather one real, rational item, expressed by a well known citizen, a man who has studied this matter irom TRAVEL BY TUNNEL Brooklyn Bridge Relieved of its Immense Traffic NEW YORK. Jau. 10,-The Brookly brideo crush, which has for years been the wonder of all who looked on it from the outside and the bane of the exist ence of traffic superintendents, police men and oflk'iula, as well as those who had nightly to suffer from it, is over, according to the statements made last niirht bv those who have tried to regu late it. The new subway tunnel under the East River to Brooklyn ended its first day last night with success to its credit. It is estimated that 140,000 pas sengers went through the tubes and that means 1-10,000 who on other days crossed the bridge. From 5:30 till 6:30 p. in. 27,000 passed through tbe tube accord ms to estimates of Superintendent Hod lev. of the Interborough Company. Superintendent Kooves of the Brooklyn bride operating department, estimated that there was a falling off of 5000 pas the viewpoints of both employe andjsengers an hour during the rush time on the trains and it is estimated that Iikr has it in its own the fallinsr oil on the surface cars which hands to attain to almost any height its cross the bridge was at least 33 per best standards imply.

"I have agency must contribute the balance that used New Discovery seven years and I shall adiust its desired relation with the Government, and maintain it after it has been attained. Capital, its al leged opponent, has always used wis immense advantage and profited by it incalculably (oftener than not, wrong fully), but it is "next" all the same. "If the labor interests will cut out the hampering and wearing policies of contention to which they devote the bulk of their energies and dissipate too much good time and money; raise the level of aspirations and take on the higher tasks of formulating and leading public thought, uing the polls as a fulcrum and their united strength as a lever, tney would soon assume place and dignity and influence second to none In tne nation." We auote this man for what there is of counsel in the premises; yet, admit tine the excellence of his theory, we are compelled to deprecate the possibility of Its ever being applied. o It Does The Business know it is the best remedy on earth for coughs and colds, croup, and all throat and luna troubles.

Editorial ' impudence and irreverence can go no further, now that the Wash ington Herald has suggested the writing of a comic opera on existing naval conditions. The dull feeling in the head which is not auite an ache, but bad enough to make one miserable, can be driven away by Lane's Family Medicine, the best cure for headache.

CLAIMS $20,000 AS DAMAGES Oriental Lover Develops Passion for Maiden of the Occident and Then Sends iris Japanese Sweetheart Home Re suit is Cupid Goes to Blind Goddess. NEW YORK, Jan. 10-Mis. Ruth Kira, a Hrettyl little Japanese widow, Idas brought suit against Jim Fook, a China man, who runs a restaurant in New York, claiming $20,000 damages for breach of promise of marriage, Mrs. Kim's husband was an interpreter and died but October. Soon after, she says, while she was working in Chinese res taurant in Brooklyn, where she lives, Jim Fook was introduced to her. lie called on her frequently ehe declares and finally proposed to her and was ac cepted, the bargain being sealed by tbe presentation and acceptance of an en gagement ring. A few weeks later, Mrs. Kim says, Jim Fook induced her to give up her place in the Brooklyn res taurant and become cashier of bis restaurant in Manhattan. Then sud denly, she dcolare. hie love grew cold and she discovered the reason for the changi was that ehe found him in com pany with a former sweetheart, a white girl. She says he later refused to marry her and told her to go back to Brooklyn, which she did. Jim Fook denies that be evir proposed to the Japanese widow and declares that be simply hired her to wrtk in his restaurant. The Pure Food Law. Secretary Wilson says, "One of the objects of the law is to inform the con sumer of the presence of certain harm ful drugs in medicines." The law re quires that the amount of chloroform, opium, morphine, and other habit form ing drugs be stated on the label of each bottle. The manufacturers of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy have always claim ed that their remedy did not contain any of these drugs, and the truth of this claim is now fully proven, as no mention of them is made on the label. This remedy is not only one of the safest, but one of the best in use for coughs and colds. Its value Las been poven be yond question during the many years it has been in general use.
