Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and one of the strong figures in Ameri can industrial autonomy of the day, has given the country, through one of its greatest organic committees in Congress, fair warning that the labor element of the nation is becoming restive under long denied and essen tial legislation in the matter of its .rights to combine in derogation and defeat of certain trade movements against organized labor. He claims, for his constituency, the right to combine for the lessening of th hours of labor, for the increasing of wage scales, etc., etc., and declares that it was agreed, during the days in which the Sherman anti-trust law was being framed, that these exemp tions were to be made in behalf of the working people of the country. And his claim is practically admitted by the judiciary committee of the House now in charge of the amend ments to that famous law. This being the case, there is jus tice in his claim and perhaps it were well to heed now what was then ignored. The principle involved is indisputably the laborer's right, quite as much as it is the financier's, and it is one of " those wide issues that make good fighting material. The laborer as a unit, with such a plea, may present a front in politics and at the polls, one of these days, that will open the eyes of the coun try to the real power lying latent in their hands; a power but once dem onstrated, will become a leverage un dreamed of in its subseuent demands and achievments. FISHERIES MASS MEETING. installed whereby the rock will go into the ocean's maw at a rate, of 400 tons per day more than, was ever attempted before, and other processes will be employed measur ably advancing the scope of tne year's work. A mere glance at the 25-foot cur vature maps of that great barrier for the years of 1901 and 1907, will reveal to the interested observer, the extra ordinary work already done by this system, and the completion of the jetty to its seaward end, as is pro posed this year, means much to the whole country depending upon the huge enterprise; for, it is as the Ore- irmii.in nf vesterdav said, the most , . important public improvement pend ing in behalf of the people of the Columbia Basin; and once its larg est efficacy shall have been attained, it becomes the bounden duty of the government, or of the people of the States of Oregon and Washington, to provide against its recession or fail ure, as to the channel water that shall fWoInn hv the maintenance of dredging machines of a' sort adapted to the territory and range of the work. It will be consummate folly, if, after the expenditure of millions of money and long years of labor, this vast scheme of commercial ex ploitation shall be permitted to lapse into misuse and disuse, for it is the cardinal feature of all that is to come to the great basin behind it. With a minimum of seven fathoms on the Columbia bar and correlative improvements on the Columbia and Willamette rivers the commerce of the entire Northwest must take on a new and commanding attitude and force in the commercial demarcations of the future. A MODEL SALOON I BcforcJl!! Pcop,e Cards of Candidates in the Coming Campaign. No Customer Can Obtain More Than Three Drinks. A SURPRISING INNOVATION It is in Short a Startlingly Bright Spot in the Record of the City With the Biggest Drink Bill in the World. , s.a fi . i V , : '.: I .f. ; '.' ' ' i t . '. : 1 EDITORIAL SALAD Admiral Evans begins to think that rheumatism is intractable, the rem edies recommended to him having passed the 3000 mark. Throughout our history the navy has been so busy in belting the enemy that it had no time to notice any of the defects in construction that cause such deep concern among the experts. "Poise, dignity, sanity and reason become a mighty people," says Sena tor Knox. Pennsylvania s favorite son has the faculty of stating a statesman-like thought tersely and forcibly. Father Knickerbocker who spend $1,000,000 every day on drinks which are not soft, in his tnnumerabl thirsts parlors, now numbers one out of the multitude which is unique m that it might with propriety be called a model saloon. First of all no cus tomer can obtain more than three drinks. That it is the absolute limit and to any who show signs of pre vious imbibing none at all are sold Neither is . liquor sold to women which in New York means the loss of much trade. Still more surprising in the light of the general practice here is the rule which absolutely for bids the cashing of pay checks, the idea being that they should be taken home. It is no wonder either that Father Knickerbocker should blink in surprise at learning that this par-;-iit:ir saloon shuts uo before the closine hour and stays shut on Sun day. There are several thousand others doing business here which make only the barest pretense of ever closing. To do anything else would be humorous since the police wink at the ODen evasion of the law. In fact this model saloon is so far as Is known the only one in Greater New York which observes the law. As a last straw to the incredulity of the averaee New Yorker no gambling of any kind, but even the familiar dice box, is tolerated in the place, and ( the proprietor neither gives nor ac cents treats. It is in short a startl- I ingly bright spot in the record of the city within the biggest drink bill in the world. VOTE FOR i J. A.

It seems a shame to take the money when the article is offered in so many parts of the country at the price of brown sugar. Women of Seattle have decided that the line should be drawn against Asiatic immigration, provided they are allowed to keep their Japanese cooks. In the presence of the kitch en problem an international issue fades into insignificance. The mass meeting heralded for next Friday evening at the Astoria opera house is to be made significant of the exact attitude of the people of this city on the grave questions that have arisen in regard to the salmon fisheries for which Astoria stands. Therefore, every man with a grain of interest in the biggest, most vital, and paramount, industry of city and section, is sure to be there, and the house simply will not hold them. An overflow meeting will but emphasize the popular concern, however, and we shall be glad to see it. If Astoria cannot turn out in such a cause as this; if she cannot put i,prcplf nn record snuarelv in this emergency, for the salvation of her integral best, then let the last man stay away from this place and keep shameful silence for all time. But no one is anticipating such a delin- auencv: the call is too obviously erave and important to result in any thing but a rousing, unmistakabe, cnlpndiH dmllence to everv man who, openly, or in secret, is threaten ine the fisheries of the lower Co lumbia; and the impress of the work and words of that night will go forth to the farthest limit of Oregon as sign and lesson of loyalty and a straizht conception of communal duty to a State-wide interest. Any thing short of this will be damning to the people here. We are pleased to announce that Foley's Honey and Tar for coughs, colds and lung trpubles is not affect ed bv the National Pure Food and Drug law as it contains no opiates or other harmful drugs, and we re commend it as a safe remedy for children and adults.
