There has been more or less com olaint by those who have been de nied the free use of the new Clatsop courthouse fo.r public meetings that the county commissioners are ex ceedine their authority in refusing the building for such purposes; that it belongs to the . people, was built by them and for them, and is amen able to their collective use, etc; all of which sounds plausible enough until the matter is looked into from other view points. The beautiful building is but just finished; its new ness, its freshness, are susceptible to disfigurement and abuse, and a gen eral concession of the use of it to assemblages would soon put it be yond redemption as a place of busi ness and resort. There is nothing so heartlessly in different to the niceties of life as the ordinary crowd; none who expector ate so lavishly; none who scar and scratch and tear with such cold blooded deliberation; none who knock and wear, misuse and disfigure so relentlessly, as the big and com mon crowds gathered at a point where there i something to abuse and mar; it seems to be a sort of fetish with crowds, that, is mixed crowds, to leave its mark on every smooth surface and ornamented atom within its reach, on the simple hypo thesis of its utter irresponsibility to any one in particular, for the mo menf And the commissioners of this county, knowing this, made hard and fast order forbidding its use by any public assembly whatever, this order being duly signed and re corded, with the distinct approval of Judge McBride, and religiously ob served to date. In due time the great basement of the fcuilding will be finished, its big floor cemented and, all things made comfortable, and with, the fine heat ing apparatus there, will make an accessible and appreciable place for such purposes, and will, no doubt, be given over to them, under essential rules made by the court. As things stand the attitude of the court is just and correct, economically and in all ways. set the pace,' and when the people have ascertained the sure value o keeping their obligations at home and in the hands of those whose interest lies in its quickest possible pay ment they will be on the high-road to achieving ; their salvation from what they are pleased to style the "octopuses" of the day; creatures o! lust and power set up by the folly of the people themselves and their manifest ignorance of the common est rules of finance. Clatsop county is in a fair way to absolve herself from the burden. GOOD SENSE SUPERVENES. Some time ago The Astorian was called uoon to resentfully criticise the action reported as having trans pired at the hall of the Suomi Tern perance Society in which a flagrant resolution condemning and insulting the President of the United States was passed, along with an order, promptly obeyed, to turn his portrait then fianffine there to the wall. The circumstance was plainly and boldly condemned all over the city, and from all sources with the frank res ervation that it must have been done by some extraneous rabid influence quite detached from the sober sense and excellent reputation of that so ciety. - - And now that the people of that great organization have taken back the control of the situation there, have "cleared its skirts" of the ugly charge that fell to it through the in rnncirierate action of a KTOUp of people momentarily in the society's saddle," have disclaimed the text and tenor of the resolution and re placed the portrait of the President, and altogether purged itself of the incubus thrust upon it, it is in order to confirm the society's good sense and congratulate it on the complete redemption of a very painful epi sode it had wrought We, with all others in the city, are heartily glad the matter is closed and trust noth ing like it will ever be permitted to occur again in this city or county. ; CLATSOP'S ALL RIGHT! Wtih three" more years of careful and jealous administration on the part of the various county officers, such as has marked the preceding range herself alongside of "Old Ma rion," as one of the two counties in Oregon without public obligation: a condition that does more genuine good than all the debt-bearing, interest-eating "progress" that can be inspired. Long-drawn and long borne debt, public or private, for the sake of expanding is one of the fals est doctrines to which the American people are committed; committed through the machination of those men of commerce who know its fa culty for hampering and binding people and individuals so that the code of the despoiler may operate the more easily and surely. Debt is a danger, always. No man or community, can flour ish, really, and permanently, that wallows in debt. There may be exi gencies where a passing debt will open up an opportunity for the re alization of personal or communal expansion; and then only when that obligation is put at the shortest pos sible time limit and the lowest rate of interest attainable.' And the peo ple are learning this lesson slowly, but surely. Every bond issue nowa days is uttered for the briefest peri ods and on the lowest margins of interest; the government itself has EDITORIAL SALAD Congress ought to hire a poet to rhyme for it, just as a chaplain is hired to pray for it Anateur poet izing is provoking. The retreat sounded on the Brownsville question looks like an admission that there was a mistake made in oolitical tactics, if not in equity. Uncle Sam's Armada is a success, and all the more because its mission is friendly to all other nations. It is unlikely, after listening to the White House address, that the Moth ers' Congress will ever adopt a Teddy bear rampant for its coat of arms. ( Alexander Graham Bell says the recent flight of his aeroplane was a success, and the inventor of the tele phone ought to be a good judge of a workable machine. Japan will strike a bottom fact connected with its British alliance when it finds out how far the part nership appeals to the favor of the Old Lady of Threadneedle street. In the shooting match in Magda- lena Bay the men behind the guns are on their mettle, and the best marksman may hope to become as celebrated as the first baseball bats man of the year. Mr. Vardaman of Mississippi re fers to Mr. Bryan as "the sun-kissed, heaven-piercing mountain towering above the foothills of humanity." It is needless to say this measurement was not made with an electoral vote yard stick. Australia offers an enthusiastic welcome to the American fleet in the Pacific. The Panama Canal will be of especial advantage to the Aus tralians, and their appreciation of the people who are building and paying for it is highly valued. BANEi CASHIER DEAD 7 George Causer, Cashier of the Hepuer Bank Dead. WAS CIRRHOSIS OF THE UYER In the Flood , Which Devastated Heppner Five Years Ago Mr. and Mrs. Conser Saved Themselves by , Going Into the Second Story. HEPPNER, Or., March 31.-Gco. Conser, cashier of the First'Nationa Bank at Heppner, died in this city at 3 o'clock this morning He had been unconscious for the previous 48 hours, and death was momentarily expected by his relatives. The fu neral will take place at Heppner on Thursday, interment being in the Heppner Cemetery. Mr. Conser was born in Marion county, this btate, in 1855 Mis father was one of the pioneers in the flouring mill business, having estab lished a plant at Jefferson when wheat raising was in its infancy in the Wlilamette Valley. In 1890 Mr. Conser married . Miss Lillian Rhea, daughter of C. A. Rhea, one of the early settlers of what is now Morrow county. Mr. Rhea is president of the bank of which hifton-in-law has been cashier ever sirtce its organi zation. Deceased has two brothers in Portland, W. S. (Shan) and H. P. Conser, and a sister, Mrs. R. 0. Thomas of Turner, Oregon In the flood which devastated Heppner five "years ago this coming June, Mr. and Mrs. Conser saved themselves by going into the second story of their house. Several persons were in the dwelling at the time and were urged to follow Mr. and Mrs. Conser, but did not do so and were drowned. The house washed down Willow Creek for a considerable dis-1 tance and the couple was finally res cued. Mr. Conser did a great deal toward alleviating the sufferings of his fellow townsmen after the flood subsided, and handled the large amount of money sent to the surviv ors with marked justice and ability. The cause of his death is given as cirrhosis of the liver, from which he had been suffering for a number of years. Mr. Conser was a prominent mem ber of the A. F. and A. M. and of the Elks, which order will take part in his obsenuies. A number of former Heppner people will be up from Portland to attend his funeral few doses now and then, when feel ing any sign of backache and they never fail to banish the trouble."

Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles An Astoria Citizen Shows How to Cure Them. Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright's disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's Kid ney Pills. It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Astoria people testify to permanent cures. Theodore Josephson, 515 Seventh street, Astoria, Oregon, says: "About five years ago I used Doan's Kidney Pills and derived great bene fit. I was suffering from severe pains across my back afad my loins and at times was unable to stoop or straighten. My kidneys also both ered me a great deal, as the secre tions were generally too free in pas sing. At last Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention and I procured a box at Rogers' drug store. I began using them and my health is now . excellent. I take a PRACTIC'Al POINTS ON BANKING-NO. 1.
