"PAY IN THRTY DAYS!".
Thirty days from date the people
of Clatsop and Astoria will pay their
civic obligations to precinct, county
and state by voting their choice
among the candidates of the hour fof
the various offices and trusts, and for
the numerous laws pending upon ref
erendum. "The voice of the people is -the
voice of God!".
This is saying much, at this day and
age, when the result of an election
frequently depends on the price of
votes and the market conditions of
the polls; and at best it is but a
sentimental play of expression among
those to whom an election has fallen
jot success and achievement Hap
pily, we of old Clatsop are not in
much danger of the perverted vote
and we hop e never will be.
Custom has a tendency to cheapen
all our franchises to a point where
their essence and power are nega
tived, and even sacrificed. We should
study'the vote that belongs to us,
once in a while, and try to put it
back upon the plane of our greatest
possession and most effective re
source; make it the sign-manual of
our conscience, our hope, our sense
of duty ;the best and proudest legal
grant in the world, and save it from
Ah tment. esoeciallv at our own
hands.
To some men it is a mere means to
an end of questionable value, or of
down-right evil;' and its statutory
secrecy renders it doubly dangerous
in such a guise. The only ott-set
against such estimate and use, is the
major, clean, well-thought-out, hon
est vote of the people who go to the
polls uncorrupted, intelligent and
free.
DISASTER, BY WAVES.
Within the past ten days there has
arisen a wave of naval disaster; the
British navy has suffered loss, and
grave damage, in the case of four
of it vessels, and Japan has just had
one torn out of existance by an ex
plosion that involved the cruiser and
200 of its men including the captain.
There are those who believe in the
run of disaster in groups and periods,
and if there is any substance in their
contention, we are likely to hear bad
news as well as any other nation. But
we are holding our beautiful Armada
. immune by reason of the occult fa
culty of the over-powering good will
of the nation that is just now wishing
it long life and glory and all things
heartsome.
SINGLE TAX, NIT!.
The idea of putting the entire bur
den of taxation on the land of the
State, as proposed by the law now
pending on referendum before the
Oregon electorate, is not likely to be
assumed hv the Deoole." because it
presents too many problems for defi
mte and early solution, it is an in
tensely radical program and not eas
ily mastered by the man who has to
work and hurry and devote his few
idle hours to rest and refreshment.
A well known and interested As
toria citizen put it mildly, yesterday,
in discussing the question: Said he
"With a level valuation on the land
and improvements of a given farm in
Clatsop county, for instance, the
right-of-way of the railway that
crosses that land, escapes all extra
. value as an improvement, though it
shall be worth many thousands of dol
; lars per mile. It takes the schedule
of valuation that runs with the land it
crosses, and no more; and the in
'. equity is too pronounced for dispas-
sionate consideration by the farmer
who happens to own that land." .This
' is the stumbling block in the way of
acceptance of the doctrine of the
single tax; the equities cannot be
adjusted as they arise in the course of
its application, and there will always
be turmoil and resistance inl the
course of its adoption. . j
Great manufacturing plants, with
millions invested in buildings and
machinery, worth ten times the
value of the land they stand on;. the
intangible values of stocks and and
bonds and shares and interests and
franchises all practicably inseparable
from the land and drawing their in
herent price directly from it, are cer
tain to escape the alignment they
deserve, and the corporate owner oft
them all, takes the benefit, in addit
ion to the burdens they dodge, now
with the prescriptive values attached
under the present poor system of
taxation.
The single tax idea have a formid
able array of argument in its behalf,
but it is yet an untried system so far
as this country is concerned, and ar
gument is not proof, nor is proof al
ways conclusive in the grave matter
of taking over new and ttniersal de
vices; they have to grow and expand
and convince with the years. The im
measurable injustices of the existing
tax system are so impressively great
and raw, that the people will move
with extraordinary caution lest they
invite more, and worse.
EDITORIAL' SALAD
Mr. Bjyan says the cartoons of
which he is the subject are not as bad
as they used to oe. remaps tne
boys with the crayon are devoting
themselves to fresher material than a
third battle.
Albany's Chamber of Commerce
has called a conference to consider
the waterways of the State. The New
Yorkers took up this subject actively
m 181 and are now giving it more
thought that ever.
The United States could not dis
pose of loans at 2 per cent, with a
premium on top of that, but for the
currency circulation based on the
bonds. Congress will not lose sight
of this great financial advantage to
the people in bond-secured currency.
Biliousness and Constipation.
For years I was troubled with bil-'
iousness and constipation, which made
life miserable for me. My appetite
failed me. I lost my usual force and
vitality. Pepsin preparations and
cathartics only made matters worse.
I do not know where I should have
been today had I not tried Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.
The tablets relieve the ill feeling at
once strengthen the digestive func
tions, purify the stomach, liver and
blood, helping the system to do its
work naturally. Mrs. Rosa Potts,

RECEIVED GRATEFUL THANKS
OF HUNDREDS IN PITTSBURG
The following article, taken from
the Pittsburg Press, describes the re
sults of L. T. Cooper's visit to that
city, and the .effect of his new prepa
ration as told by people who had be
come convinced of the soundness of
Cooper's theories with regard to the
human stomach.
Cooper believes that the human
stomach in civilized races has become
greatly weakened. He claims that
most ill health of the present genera
tion is due to this fact. The article
is as follows:
"L. T. Cooper is meeting with the
same astonishing success in Pittsburg
as in other cities. For the past few
days many thousands of Pittsburg peo
ple have called at his headquarters to
talk with him.
"Cooper's prophecy, made upon his
arrival, to the effect that before he
left Pittsburg thousands would realize
that his theory is correct and would

human stomach is degenerate is' dis

"One of the most unusual state
ments was made by Mr. C. W.
Woods, of 103 South Highland street.
He said: 'For four years my wife was
in very poor health. She was weak
and thin, with a hectic flush and
cough. Physicians said she had con
sumption, and I was inclined to be

though her days were numbered, and
there appeared to be very littl ground
for hope.
"Shortly after Mr. Cooper came to
Pittsburg I began to hear of wonder

persons who had tried his" medicine,
so I got some of my wife. She had
taken it only two days when she was
relieved of a tapeworm 42 feet long.
