EDITORIAL SALAD CIVIC FRATERNITY. Astoria needs civic fraternization! The man of today rejoices, and la bors heartily, in the cause of frater nity, as it expresses itself to him in the hundreds of various forms now accepted the world over, and has peculiar and profound interest in the success and achievement of every lodge m which he has desired and honorable place. He knows the strength and beauty and utility of the principle of cohesion and unity, as exemplified by those fraternities and keeps grateful and constant tab on their accomplishments along their chosen lines; he knows that they rare ly fail to effect the good things they go after, with the lclge-spirit behind them, and he knows, further, that it is the co-operative principle that ac counts for the quiet and peaceful ac hievement that signalizes every move they make. Knowing these things, as all mod ern men know them, the marvel re mains that communities, like ours, close-knit, deeply interwoven in in terest, in constant touch and work ing side by side the years through, cannot imbibe some of the spirit that animates the fraternity, and merge in a unity that would defy defeat in all the ends the people have in view. Why not regard our fellow-citizens in the same light we do our brother in the lodge, and work with him and do those things that are right and wholesome and popular, in a civic way, as well as in a fraternal way? Citizenship does not alter our rela tions one to the other; its demands are really superior, and supreme, when measured with the duties im posed by the craft, whatever it may be; and it is only a matter differentia tion that we negelct the broader and higher obligation and 'yet adhere de votedly to the lesser and secret en gagement. I ' -! : . There is a commonalty in the civic program that makes it easy to follow if we are disposed to do the real fra ternal thing whenever we can; our duty to one another does not cease at the lodge gates; we are still bound to stand for the uplift, of all. Why not try to apply the .friendly rule to the broader relation andgain the suc cesses denied us for want of it? THE PASSING FLEET. With all the Pacific world we had hoped that the great fleet of warships would enter the Columbia and go as far inland as possible, but the hope was- always accompanied by the doubt of the feasibility, and even the safety, of the visit here. Uncle Sam does not permit his costly navy to use negligible depths under its keels; there must be water enough to as sure free and secure movement at all times in all places, and this could not be guaranteed here. Had Portland and her press striv en for the Columbia bar and the Co lumbia river, all these years, as they should have done, instead of holding things back, and down, to the levels that made for the river commerce of that city alone; if they had used their v,-ide and pregnant influence for the steady ..employment of the dredges on both bar and river, simultaneous ly, and constantly, there would be no question now, and no disappoint ment; and it is "with this smashing lesson well learned that they are, at this time, so eager and urgent'for the completion of the jetties and the service of the dredges. They have simply bitten off their "nose to spite their face" and are praying lustily for the only relief that shall ever come to them. We are glad they have realized the situation, and trust ,r j RAY C. COLLINGS With "Dora Thorne" at the Astoria Theatre, Sunday Evening, May 10. Portland may never again have to face such a scathing turn-down as she has suffered in this matter. And yet, considering her frequently avow ed preference to send everything in a commercial way over to Seattle rather than have it center at this end of the river, perhaps her chagrin may be mimified by the fact that the beautiful squadrons soon to pass her doors, are bound for that same port of Seattle ;at least, we are wish ing her what of comfort there may be in the conclusion. And while we are at it," we wish to offer our deep regrets for the recent humiliation the Portland Chamber of Commerce underwent, in having, as a body, to decline the cordial invita tion of the -Seattle Chamber to come over there and participate in the re ception of the fleet and, iqcidentally, inspect a real, first-class harbor. A circumstance, by the way, that the Oregonian failed to publish a syllable about, so far as we have sought for it; which fact does not detract one whit from the adroit satire of the Sound city nor from the mortification of the Oregon metropolis. AMBASSADORIAL ROT. We hope to see an early end to this drivel about the housing of our Ambassadors abroad. There is no call for the United States to erect ambassadorial residences at the for eign seats of government; rank, style, splurge and show are matters beyond the purview of the Washing ton government; it is enough that an able, courageous, trained and accept able American gentleman is chosen to represent this country in the seats of theighty abroad, and if he be sent forth upon a salary befitting a man of culture and position and rep resentative dignity, that is all we have to dd so pay. There should be no hide bound stinting of the ambassadorial pay; it should be ample to enable him to do the correct, not the elabo rate nor staggering, thing in the way of entertainment; the honor of the nation demands that much at all times and places where it would be properly represented. And if we fall short, on such provision, of the de mands of the kingly and imperial gentlemen at the head of the courts over there, why, recall our man, and tell the snobs to go to. These high honors are usually given to men of extreme wealth any way, and if they desire to do more, in a social way, then Uncle Sam ordains and pays for, let them do it them selves with the same fine indulgence they practice in their private social orbit at home. We have no objection to that; but we do protest against in augurating a flap-doodle program of class-rules and sheer-money bases, in this relation, and we do not believe the common-sense American will stand for it for a moment. More News From the .New England States. If any one has any doubt as to the virtue of Foley's Kidney Cure, they need only to refer to Mr. Alvin H. Stimpson, of Willamantic, Conn., who, after almost losing hope of re covery, on account of the failure of so many remedies, finally tried Foley's Kidney Coure, which he says was "just the thing" for him, as four bottles cured him completely. He is now entirely well and free from all the suffering incident to acute kidney trouble.. T. F. Laurin, Owl Drug Store. u Mrs. S. Joyce, 180 Sullivan St., Claremont, N. H., writes: "About a year ago I bought two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure. It cured me of a severe case, of Kidney trouble of several years standing. It certainly is a grand, good jnedicine, and I heartily recommend it." MAINE WOMAN MAKES OATH IN REGARD TO STATEMENT In connection with the intense in terest manifested by the public at large in the theory of L. T. Cooper as to the human stomach being the source of nearly all ill health, the statements of Mr. W. D. Spaulding, of Hallowell, Me., one of the oldest and best known druggists in .that state, and of Mrs. Frederick Harvey, a well known nurse living in the same place, will be interesting to thousands of persons who are today 'suffering from ailments directly traceable to the stomach. The fact that these state ments are made voluntarily, under oath, removes all element of doubt. The statements follow: . "Hallowell, Me., July 20, 1907. "To the Cooper Medicine Co., "Dayton, Ohio. "Gentlemen The policy at Spauld ing's drug store is to gain the per fect confidence of the public by never recommending any medicine or treat ment until its virtues have been fully established. The Cooper Remedies were to us an unknown quality, ..we were very skeptical of their medicinal value, and it was not until several of our customers 'had received such ben eficial results from their use that we could no longer doubt their value that we" consented to take the agency for the Cooper Remedies in this ter ritory, heartiiy endorsing the same. "Herewith we give the testimonial of a lady whose case came under our personal observation from her being a regular customer, and she says: .'"Gentlemen of the Cooper Med icine Co., Dayton, Ohio: It is with pleasure I recommend your New Dis covery medicine, of which I have tak en the contents of three bottles, and can today eat anything without incon venience to myself. For a number of years I had suffered intensely with severe headaches, sour stomaph, in digestion, pains in my side, and com plications which made it exceedingly hard for toe to accomplish even my household work. Physicians had, giv en me dozens of prescriptions, which failed to accomplish a cure or even relief. Your New Discovery medir cine advertisement attracted my at tention, and I purchased a bottle of the medicine, which I took according to directions, and before it was half gone, I felt very much better; when I had taken the conents of two bottles I gained courage to eat many things which for years I had denied myself, and found they caused me no ill effects. Today,' , after having used three bottles of the New Discovery, I can eat anything and feel that I am a well woman once more, and there fore would advise anyone to' fake Cooper's New Discovery, for I feel sure it will cure them.' Mrs. Fred erick Harvey, Hallowell, Me. , "We endorse the above testimonial, under oath, as being correct. 'W. D. Spaulding. "Testimony before me under oath this 22nd day of July, 1907. ' ; ' "GEO. A. SAFFORD, (Seal.) Notary Public." The Cooper remedies have proven eminently satisfactory wherever intro duced. We will be pleased to explain their nature to anyone wishing to know about them. We are agents. Charles Rogers & Son. ' rs Everybody' ... the Grocer If you are bashful ask him what the Wink means. Read It Before You Eat It rJtjr""""""'-"1"' I, If You Don't Get Good Cigars Now, It's Your Own Fault AH you have to do is to stand up like a man and ask the dealer for cigars identified by the "Triangle A" on the box. Nothing else. Nothing easier. Nothing surer. "When you say "Give me a "Tri angle A' cigar, you are absolutely as certain of getting quality, and the same quality every time, no matter which particular brand you select, as if you had your cigars made up to order. We have succeeded in building up a fifteen Jer cent, share of the entire cigar business of this coun try. In the face of the keenest competition, take notice. You know well enough that there's only one way we could have done it : Simply by making better cigars of every grade thanaany other man ufacturer has produced and telling the truth about them. And by making the strongest definite claims that any cigar man ufacturer ever dared to make, and, living up to them. . The one reason why we started in marking our boxes with the ' 'Tri angle A", was to enable you to shut down sharp on the common hit-or-miss way of buying cigars on some body's say-so, and make your selec tion with your eyes open. It would be worth your while to take all sorts of trouble in order to obtain "Triangle A" brands-but you don't have to bother-you can get them anywhere. It's up to you to uk for them. Practically every dealer in the United States carries them. Do your part! . Give yourself & square deal! This "Triangle A" merit mark identifies the product of the most modern improved methods and scientific processes, of cigar pro duction, and represents a standard of quality far superiqr to that whicn the same price could hereto fore purchase. If you have been buying your cigars by guess-work and want to put our claims to a most practical test, just take a new start. Begin by smoking one of the best-known of all the brands that are sold under the guarantee of the "Triangle A"- TheN cw-CREMO Compare it fairly with any cigar sold at the same price that carries no "Triangle A" guarantee: you won't fail to see why we are sof confident , of your co-operation as soon as you realize just what the "Triangle A" stands for. Every box is now extra-wrapped in glassine paper, sealed at each end with the "Triangle A" in red. The cigars are kept clean, fresh and in perfect smoking condition until the box is opened. ."
