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

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.

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. ." ' " '
