THE WEATHER
Eastern Oregon, Showers and thun
derstorms.' Eastern Washington, and Idaho-
Cloudy and occasionally threaten- in g record in jetty-work and bar im
lie interest is deeply centered, is
foregone conclusion with every man
who knows anything about the care
that is given such priceless posses
sions. The Government will not risk
the ships on the Columbia bar nor in
the Columbia river because there is
not sufficient water to make their
visit assuredly safe. It is a bitter
disappointment to hundreds of thou
sands of people in Oregon, hut even
that is infinitely cheaper than the
piling up of ships that cost from $,
000,000 to $10,000,000 on the bars and
shoals -of our great waterway. i
We may thank Portland, for the
denial. She has blown hot and cold
on the Columbia river and bar im--1
provements for lo, these many years,
and he river has been channelled to
meet the bar, while the bar has been
kept Sack so as to admit nothing thaf
could not ascend the river to Port
land; hence, at the supreme moment
of desire, we ' are confronted with
the keenest turn-down in our history.
And by way of accentuating this
situation, we may cau attention to
the fact that when Portland realized
that Colonel Roesslcr was one of
those cneincers who stand for the
quick and wholesome prosecution of
their duties and was making a tellf
ing but little if any rain.
The people have a quiet way of as
serting themselves on popular issues
and no, man may say them nay and
hold their favor.
The people of Oregon have
made a ringing declaration in favor
of that element of their own law
which says that the man carrying the
endorsement of the people for the
United States Senate, shall be sent
there by their representatives in the
Legislature, and it will probably be
done; or there will be an accounting
in old Oregon that will go far to the
eternal laying of partisan power and
individual domination, of which the
people of the United States generally,
are; sick and ashamed; . r j ; (
. Parties are all right; and the Re
publican party is, happily, peculiarly
and forcefully right in its present at
titude before the people; yet,, with
all its prestige, it is in the most criti
cal way of chancing public offense,
because, unless it discovers, and
champions, the popular desire, it will
sacrifice the hope of the people and
that was never forgiven. The present
hope of the people lies in a wider
political freedom; in the assumption
of exact powers heretofore delegated,
and wretchedly abused; in curbing,
and even dispensing with, one-man
control everywhere; ;and in the' res
ervation to the electorate of the last
and lawful declaration upon all men
and issues, at the bar of public dis
crimination and selection.
We shall contend for the perpetua
tion of the highest ideals of the Re
publican party, national, state rl and
local, and strive to elect the men who
stand for them, always; but the larger
and nobler task of divining an herald
ing the will of the people, swinging
it into the very front of party knowl
edge and treatment and champion
ship, where it must serve its purpose
of defeat, or victory, as the rank and
file shall elect, is still our best and
gravest duty and we shall do it to
the limit Of our capacity.

to have him supplanted, and by a.ma
who. ' while an able master of hi
profession, is socially amenable at
rather more gitin to dawdling ovetj
the job that has already taken f
too many years to complete. Two
more years of Colonel Roessler's
program at the jetties, would have
seen them completed, and 30 to 40
feet of water on the barrier; and that
was altogether too good a thing for
the lower Columbia .with a beggarly
26 feet of water in the two rivers
that flow between Portland and the
sea.
Just how long the United States
Government is going to be s hood
winked on this proposition is to be
seen. But we do hope for the credit
of the State and her normal expan
sion commercially, some man may
reach the Congress and tell the
straight truth about the Columbia
river and the Columbia bar. God
knows the story is. well enough
known in all Northern Oregon; it is
one of the foulest traditions of the
State, despite the infrequent and in
soired chiroines ' of the Portland
press for bar and river improvements.
Give us a 40-foot channel from the
sea-curvatures of the bar to the rock
barriers of The Dalles and the Falls
of the Willamette 1 That's our plea;
the plea , that Portland will not and
darediot echo!
The Armada will not be here. Even
our great June flood will not tempt
it in and up the river. Portland has
taken care of that, alright, alright!
EDITORIAL SALAD
Now they are worried lest the Re
publicans reduce the Democratic rep
resentatic from the South. That is
about the ',ily place left in which to
continue. the work of reducing it.
The great question of statesmanship
is whether the Sherman anti-trust law.
shall be a dead letter, or whether it
shall apply only to those other
fellows.

THE PERFECT WAY.
Scores of
Astoria Citizens
Learned It
Have
If you suffer from backache, "
There is only one way to cure it. ;
The perfect way is to cure the kid
neys.
A bad back means sick kidneys.
Neglect it, urinary troubles follow.
Doan's Kidney Pills are made for
kidneys only. '
George K. Parrish, 3721 E. Oak
street, Portland, Ore., say: "Not a
symptom of kidney trouble has ever
returned since I used Doan's Kidney
Pills some years ago and I am pleased
to confirm the statement I gave in
their favor at that time. Prior to us
ing them I had suffered a great deal
from dull heavy pains in my back and
through the region of the kidneys,
this trouble having resulted from 'a
severe cold. I was gradually grow
ing worse when Doan's Kidney Pills
were brought to my attention and
being impressed with the good re
sults concerning them, I procued a
supply. As stated above' they com
pletely disposed of my trouble after a
short use."
Plenty more' proof like this from
Astoria people. Call at Charles
Rogers & Son's drug store and ask
what customers reports.

AN AUTOGRAPH COOK BOOK.
A gift suitable to any time of the
year, original, home made, one that
will bring joy to any .housewife's
heart, is described in the April Wo
man's Home Companion. Have you
ever thought of making an autograph
cook book? It only requires a little
care and patience, to have a cook
book filled full of original recipes of
dishes fit for a king.
First make a list of your intimate
friends. Those noted for their good
cooking and housewifely virtues of
course should head the list. Write
to each of them a personal note, ask
ing them to write out and send you
their favorite recipe. In each note
enclose a stamped envelope with a
sh'eet of paper of uniform size for the
written recipe. Then wait.
Presently in will come whole flocks
of white envelopes, each enclosing
the recipe which is the particular
pride of the particular housewife who
donates it. And before long what a
collection you will have! When all
the names have been accounted for,
you must get to work and bind the
sheets into a book. Vellum makes
a good cover, and if a more service
able one is desired, ooze leather, pur
chased at a leather shop, may be used.
Red. leather, lettered in gold or black,
looks well, and the . initals of th
lucky recipien should be added in one
corner.' Just see what delight this
gift will bring, and you will, I am
sure, feel amply repaid.
A cough cure tfcan can be given to
childrea without chance of harm is
fcemp'i Balsam, the best cough cure. It
loes not contain poisons or harmful
drugs. Druggists sell it
TAKE YOUR CHOICE.
Have you ever' almost run into
some one on the street, and then!
dodged from side to side for half i
minute, vainly endeavoring to passj
while the other person by soma
strange fatality blocked your ever;
move by trying to pass you in tb
same way?
Such was the recent experience o
a young man in Portland, Maine. He;
and a strange young woman had beed
going through this performance for
several seconds, when his, unwitting
vis-a-vis staggered him by saying: j
''Well, hurry up! Which is it to be;
n waltz or a two-step." Woman'sj
Home Companion for April. !
A Comprehensive Repentance.
I didn't mean to do it;
I surely meant it well,
Nor knew you wouldn't like it,
But how was I to tell?
I didn't need to do it, r
But I didn't know it then,
I'll ne'er do so again. '

Mr. S. L. Boweii, of Wayne," W.

could , not get out of bed, and when
1 did 1 could not stand straight I
took Foley's Kidney Cure. One dol
lar' bottle and part of the second
cured me entirely." Foley's Kidney

"I'm not sure," said Miss Plaine,

very pretty pictures"
"Yes," interrupted the photographer
eagerly, "but I can give you an exact
likeness if you wish." Philadelphia

AN INSIDIOUS DANGER.
One of the worst features of kidney
trouble is-that ft is an insidious dis
ease and before the victim realizes
his danger-he may have a fatal mal
ady. Take Foley's Kidney Cure at
the first sign of trouble as it corrects
irregularities and prevents Bright's
disease and diabetes. T. F. Laurin
