DOING THE RIGHT THING.
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

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."

ITS YOUR KIDNEYS.
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
