The fiat of dismissal has gone forth from the capitol fixing May 1 for the retirement of H. G. Van Dusen from the office of, master fish warden of Oregon. He is to be suc ceeded by H. C McAllister, a Texas Republican, of but two years resi dence in Oregon, with no familiar knowledge of the locale nor the in terests over which he is to preside. It is enough, owever, for the Governor that he is a Southern politician and for Portland that he is of that city; and, incidentally, for the Travelers' Protective Association that lie was elected from their ranks; this, by the way, , being the sole recommendation as yet at hand. . " The despatches give no intimation of his qualificatons or the post, and a man but two short. years in the Northwest can hardly be staggering under any killing load of real knowl edge of the streams tip here and their fishes. Stranger though he be, he is supposed to be the right man to get in and solve grave technical ques tions that have torn the State almost asunder in the years of their pendency and to heal the breach, notorious and flagrant, as between the packers and fishers of the country. The situation called for a "buffer" and as Mr. Van Dusen has been worn to a frazzle in this innocuous position, he is merci fully set aside and a . brand new, cushiony article is thrust into the gap. Mr. Van Dusen has been a stu dious, ardent, painstaking officer, whose chief fault was his irrespon sive attitude in the face of inspired influences, commercial, politcal and otherwise; and he is paying the pen alty of such independence, just as all men pay it who remain indifferent to the "interests." He was in a posi tion where -he was compelled to de clare and pursue a policy, and the policy fell short of the demands of the "string holders," and he is ousted to make way for something a bit more workable; and he was from Astoria. The finale is comprehensive, without a word of prelude. It is but another phase of the rank and flagrant politics in Oregon that does not stop even at thrusting the second greatest industry in the State and the Northwest into the hands of a man presumably incompetent; one result of which will be that before we know it the Columbia and its tribu taries will be fished out utterly of the game and beautiful and compensating salmon. .

V NOTHING ELSE TO DO. Washington despatches bear out out the general conviction that the Democrats in Congress have nothing else to do but to pratorically grill President Roosevelt; the usual re sort of an idle, minority, over which looms the -powerful and antagonistic personality of a man they cannot phase. Every self-seeking Represen tative, , and Senator uses this dear privilege when he is now rowing with his colleagues and opponents on some remoter issue, just to inspire the no tion at home that he is actually doing something; and shallow as the im position is, it works. , Theodore Roosevelt is one of those men who" emerge from a very deluge of rabid rrouthingsithe cleaner for the attack, because public confidence and sentiment divests him of every atom of filth as it falls, knowing that he is true and clean at heart He is no saint, else he would not enjoy suqh immunity; but he is a straight forward, hard-headed, wise fellow, who knows what he Wants and goes after it, getting it ninety-nine times out. of a hundred, and using it right fully when it reaches him. ; And it may be mentioned in passing that he is still after certain things for which their is popular demand, and they have got "to come," or he and the people will know why. This, in spite of all the "bull con" the interests and their henchmen can mouth so long as he lives and holds office. Before the People Cards of Candidates in the Coming . Campaign.

The cold-blooded murder of Dur ham White Stevens, the American diplomat, by a group of Koreans at San Francisco, must be taken by our people with all the seriousness it de serves as an expression of the silent hatred therewith we are regarded in Asiatic latitudes. The Koreans, so far as their innate propensities go, are but little different from the Jap anese; the same sun shines on them all, and, until a few short years ago, both kingdoms were wrapt in the same shroud of sullen silence and re moteness from things civilized. For that matter, the Korean is the safer of the two, since he has not acquired the glazing culture wherewith to hide his profounder bad qualities and will more readily permit his impulses to manifest themselves ' in time to forefend against his attacks; while the Jap, trained to fine expertness and sophistical subterfuge, will baffle while he does his foul work if he find8 it epedient to do any. They will all bear careful watching. - ' To The People, p In suDmitting my name to the elec tors of the Fifth Judicial District for their consideration for the office of District Attorney of said District, desire to say that if I am nominated and elected, I will, during my term of office, honestly, vigorously and impartialy perform all the officia duties pertaining to said office, with out fear or favor, endeavoring always to accord to . every individual, irre spective of party, politics or person alities, a square deal under the law, keeping always uppermost in my mind the interests of the tax payers of said District and State. E. B. TONGUE. subject of school recitation as pecul iarly an American institution. y . "It cannot be found as we have it in any of the European schools," said the dean. "In England study ing is done under the personal direc tion of the master, and in Germany the -pupils learns everything by in struction. - In American lessons are assigned to be learned at home, and in the recitation the pupils are quiz zed upon them. The European meth od gives the student no independence of thought By the recitation the student is put upon his own resources and develops originality and intia- tive." THE GOME AND SEE SIGN ' SPORTS VERSUS BRAINS. Wtihout disparaging for an instant, to any degree, the indulgence in clean sports and athletics throughout this country, and especially at its univer sities and colleges and lesser institu tions, it would seem from the roster of leaders in the Stanford scandal that the athletic bosses are in the saddle, and that they, with their fol lowing, are primarily responsible for the extreme tension and ugly achieve ment of the issues there. It begets an intangible inference that the cultivation of young muscles is dominating the culture of young brains; the latter, for want of soberer and closer training having misled their owners into depths of disorder and insubordination' for which they : will be heartily sorry in days to come, The brains have the right-of-way at all schools, whatever'of pride sways the youngster in the minor pursuit of brawn; and we confess our admira tion for the courage of the faculty ,at Stanford in pressing this lesson home. The student body might as well make up its mind to the fact that EDITORIAL SALAD A Connecticut Democrat paper says "Mr. Bryan was a Populist when he started, he has never been any thing but a Populist, and never more a Populist than he is now." For par ticulars see his latest platform, hand ed down in Nebraska. All of Germany's interesting news is not conducted by private corre spondence. A giant battleship called the Nassau has just been launched, and the Kaiser watches with great satisfaction the building of several other immense warships. ? It is a compliment to the Repub lican National convention that its action is conceded to be subject to its own decision. The case with Mr. Bryan's convention is entirely dif ferent. Everybody knows what it will be, and only a minority care. Texas Democrats are split up into Bryan and anti-Bryan and Bailey and anli Bailey, factions. The Texas Re publicans in 1904 numbered 51,242, or about one-fourth of the total vote. They should . trust in good politics and keep their powder dry. SCHOOL RECITATIONS. SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 27.At the second session of the Teachers Institute held here yesterday Dean Russell of the Teachers' College, Co lumbia University, spoke upon "the This sign is permanently attached to the front of the main building of the , Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Company, Lynn, Mass. What Does This Siem Mean ? It means that public Inspection of the Laboratory and methods of doing business is honestly desired, itmeans that there is nothing about the bus iness which is not open and above board." . It means that a permanent invita tion is extended to anyone to come and verify any and all statements made in the advertisements of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. 'Is it a purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs with- out drugs? - y : Come and See. , Do the women of America continu ally use as much of it as we are told ? Come and See. ' ' Was there ever such a person as Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any Mrs. Pinkham now to whom rick woman are asked to write? Come and See. y ' Is the vast private correspondence with sick women; conducted by women only, and are the letters kept strictly confidential? Come and See. r. Have they really got letters from over, one million, one hundred thousand women correspondents? Come and See. 1 Have they proof that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured thousands of these women? Come and See. - - . This advertisement is only for doubters. The great army of women who know from their own personal experience that no medicine in the world equals Lydia ;E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for female ills will still go on using and being ben efited by it ; but the poor doubting, suffering woman must, for her own sake,be taught confldenceior she also might just as well regain her health, , j - i Mrs. Lilla Raymond,: Who Was Pass ng the House When the Fire Start ed. Rang in an Alarm and Then Ran Back to the House. NEW YORK, 'March 27.-Two trips by a brave woman into a burn ing flat house in Borough Park .last night resulted in the rescue of five children, who, unconscious of their danger, were ' playing happily in a room as yet untouched by the flames, The rescuer was a stranger, Mrs, Lilla Raymond, who was passing the house when the, fire started,, rang in an alarm and then ran back to the house. She burst in the front door and dashed upstairs, finding Mrs Joseph Lock, whom she led through the. smoke to the street. Mrs. Lock then awoke to a realization that her children were still in the building, which by this time was well ablaze. Mrs. Raymond ran back into the house, up to the third floor, carried two of the little children, an older boy following her, and then-repeated the trip for two little playmates of the Lock children, who were with them when the fire broke out. The last two were half suffocated when she reached them and the dress of the younger was ablaze. Tearing it off, Mrs. Raymond got both in her arms and made tor tne - stairway again. This time it was entirely ablaze, but she dashed down and reached the street just as the stair way fell. Her face and hands were badly burned, but she refused medi cal attention and went home. Al! this happened before the arrival o the firemen, who had been delayed by the poor condition of the streets, The house was entirely destroyed DAYS OF DIZZINESS. Come to Hundreds of Astoria People.

I was losing flesh rapidly. My back was so weak and painful and I suffered from such severe dizzy spells that I could hardly get around. At last I was forced to take to my bed and remained there for a long time. My kidneys were irregular in action and the secretions so profuse as to cause me a great deal of suffering. At last I decided to try a good kid ney remedy. I procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and the results that followed their use were most satisfactory. I continued using them and it was not long before I was ompletely cured.
