IS ENTITLED TO IT.
The labor interests of the United
States are justly entitled to a dis
tinct Governmental department of
their own; they are great enough to
justify the creation of a cabinet
position, and important enough to
warrant the especial administrative
treatment, already, enjoyed by other
pronounced and leading interests.
The department of labor should be di
vorced from that of. commerce, and
be placed upon its own footing, charg
ed with its own resopnsibilities, un
der the direct charge of the best and
brightest men in the working ranks
of the nation. ; We believe in the defi
nitive processes in governmental af
fairs, and we know of nothing to
which, at present, they could be de
voted with more profit to all concern
ed than the habilitation of the im
mense field and personnel of Ameri
can labor.
The ramifications of the business
are so wide and divergent; so essen
tially in need of authoritative direc
tion and recognition, that it will be a
long and advantageous, step in public
economy if they are aligned, and vest
ed with the right and power inherent
in specific autonomy; and besides the
added dignity and force that will at
tach to the system, will divest it of
the smaller, commoner and cheaper
phases ofexpresion wherewith the
nation has long since become thor
oughly disgusted and which have
done more to lower the tone of labor
and defeat its best ambitions than
anything else,
Astoria, like hundreds of her civic
compeers throughout the country;
contending against a set of adverse
conditions set up by certain phases
and limits of divided authority; the
shrievalty, the common council, the
police commission, and the police de
partment, all, are inextricably mixed
up in indeterminate authority, with
the perfectly natural consequence that
the laws of State and city are "chuck
ed in the air" for the most part, and
patently disregarded, and nullified by
non-observance
The very law itself sinks to insigfi
cance for want of honest observance
on the one hand and equally honest
enforcement on the other, and the
people are tiring of the two-handed
"hold-up," and bearing the brunt of
the evil results and useless cost of
the whole wretched system. Public
sentiment is always ready to com
mend the enorcement of the laws and
and equally ready to condemn the
breaker, .and the, indifferent officer,
who offend, one as badly as the
other, when they tacitly conspire to
"chuck" the law.
It is time Astoria was reducing the
responsibility and fixing it at one
source. Cut out the useless and lm
peding police commission and put the
policing of the city in the hands of
the mayor, holding him answerable
for the laches and the success of the
force; or make the office of chief elec
tive, and pass the weight of respon
sibility up to him along with the
right of appointing his own patrol-
men. At ail events ao away wun
useless and cumbrous places and peo
for whom there is no earthly use in a
community of this size, such as the
police commission, which to date, has
been nothing more nor better than a
mere nursery for the propagation of
small and shabby political schemes
and a barrier to the proper handling
of the law and the agents of the law.
It is the fifth-wheel of Astoria's civic
chariot and has no standing in a de
partmental sense . whatever, other
than to impede the administration of
affairs and make place for a few
idlers; and if the truth were known
each and all of them would be glad
to drop the ambiguity attached to so
false and farcical apposition.
For Instance, there should have been
a call for a mass meeting of the
party and a general submission of the
current questions of the hour and the
personnel of the Clatsop representa
tives at the Congressional convention,
which were so cavalierly disposed of
yesterday by the newly organized
committee, which has detailed the
bulk of its own membership to go to
Portland in that behalf.
We are not kicking, understand; we
are simply advising. There is a grow
ing indisposition toward -peremptory
political action these days that may
manifest itself in much more painful
fashion than this friendly intimation
is cast abrpad.
SINCERE THANKS.
If You Have Catarrh, Aithma or
Bronchitis, Read What Thankful
People Say About Hyomei.
Mrs. M. A. Drake, Utica, N. Y
writes: I could not speak above a
whisper, I inhaled Hyomei, and it
gave me instant relief. Hyomei will
cure Catarrh and Bronchitis if used as
directed."
Lodwick Edwards, 1323 Madison
avenue, Lolumbus, U., writes: i
will let you know what your Hyomei
inhaler did for me. It cured me of
my Bronchitis all right. I feel very
thankful to you for your valuable
medicine"
Mrs. Bertha. Weekly, Pleasantville,
Pa., writes: "I want you to know I
used your Hyomei for Hay Fever
with good results, haying suffered
with it for many years, and this is the
first thing I ever found that ever gave
me any relief."

SAME INNER-CIRCLE PLAN.
The Republicans of Astoria and
Clatsop will be pleased to know that
the county central committee of the
party is again formed and in harness
and that it has taken its initial step in
the interest of the campaign; all of
which is duly heralded elsewhere in
these columns. And the Morning As
torian, and other stalwart members
The fact that the workingman of and representatives, hopes, and Will
the Unite States has his own cabinet
member and the broader interest in,
and reliance upon, the Government
Itself, will make him infinitely more
careful of his processes and expe
dients in the pursuit of his ends; and
will give him unquestioned and ac
cepted status in the huge affairs of
government heretofore denied him by
the dominant interests which have all
manner of . departmental agencies at
strive for the ultimate and pronounc
ed success of the party at the June
polls.
But, incidentally, and in passing, it
may not be amiss to observe that the
rank and file of the party might be
better pleased if the Central Commit
tee shall not assume too many prero
gatives at the jump-off and pass some
of the popular matters up to the
party for consideration and despatch.

had a close call in the spring of 1906.
He says: "An attack of pneumonia
left me so weak and with such a fear
ful cough that my friends declared
consumption had me, and death was
on my heels. Then I was persuaded
to try Dr. King's New Discovery.
It helped me immediately, and after
taking two and a half bottles I was
a well man again. I found out that
New Discovery is the best remedy
for coughs and lung disease in all
the world." Sold under guarantee at
