THE NEW FISH WARDEN.
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.

THE WARNING.
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.

"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-

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

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.

SCHOOL RECITATIONS.

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,

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.

Sometimes rheumatic pains;
Often urinary disorders. -
All tell you plainly the kidneys are
sick. i
Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills. - .
Here is proof in Astoria.
Mrs. E. Haggblom, corner Ninth
and Harrison streets, Astoria, Ore-
gon, says: ' J? or, iu years i sunerea
acutelv from kidney trouble which
gradually grew more severe until I
was on the verge of physical break
down. 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. I have used Doan's
Kidney Pills on some occasions since,
to keep my kidneys in good order and
can conscientiously say I have not
had any recurrence of the trouble
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me."
