REGULATE, OR QUIT!. The Morning Astorian has refrain ed from comment upon the current issues of local option as they have developed here, and as they pend, because it has always held that in such contests "the less said, the soon er mended"; and that it expresses it self now. is not to broach the ele ments of things hereabout in detail, so much as to discuss the wider range and bearing of the real principle and the larger consequences, inseparable from the broadening agitation notable all over the country. Primarily, there is a wide revolt against the domination of the liquor interests, nationally speaking; nor is this growing sentiment confined to the non-dnnking classes, it is per meatine the consciousness of th drinkers and patrons of the busines throueh the disadvantages they are sharing with the people who hold aloof from it: the color and tone of the processes employed by the liquor federations everywhere, is of a daring insolent type and turpitude to arouse the utmost phase of resistance even in the ordinarily passive mind of th uninterested citizen, who cannot, at the behest of common decency, stand for the rough-shod tactics of a dis credited, and, oftener than not, dis creditable, business. This antipathy and resistance are aroused and invited bv the liauor men. the majority of whom refuse to accept the protection the law awards them, seeking the broader license of law-breaking as means of accumulating the longe profit; and pandering to the vicious elements, to whom the breaking of the law, in any guise, is the chief rule in life, and yet, whose numbers and votes in any contest involving the ac tual expression of real communal honor or safety, would prove to be nil, against the supreme mandate of a State-wide, or a Nation-wide, move ment for relief. It is time the better element of the saloon men were rallying to their own safety (for there is a better standard in the business than most people are aware of). They are squarely up to the crisis that reads for regulation or annihilation, and the choice is the last that will be given them; they can not plead oppression because they have, in the main, refused to be op pressed and they cannot plead i single moral or ethical reason for the further patience of the people, since the business does not furnish them with even a hypothetical shadow of a strictly virtuous argument; the trade exists by, and through the law, and that law specifically ordained; the de liberate, constant fracture of which is the primal base of what trouble the saloon man goes up against. The solitary alternative possessed by the liquor dealer is the steadfast observ ance of the law; if that is beyond him, he is without recourse; society will furnish him no other that will pre vail, and he will face annihilation and ostracism; for what the law does not tolerate in a common way, society dare not. There is progress in the saloon business as in all things of recognized status. They must improve in meth ods, customs, standards, conditions, as all other businesses improve; they will not be permitted to sink, forever, to lower, and still lower, levels, and retain the countenance of human so ciety which is, itself, taking on hour ly, and the higher and better and wholesomer phases of progress. So ciety is wearying of the domination of the saloon and it is simply a question of whether the saloon will bring it self to a criterion of decency and ac ceptability that will satisfy society and the laws it makes, or work out , its utter damnation through the in pudiation of the legal limitations that surround it. It is for the cleaner uml wiser and honester men of the trade to say what is to become of the traffic in this country. But they must re member always that the law is the concrete expression of decent, clean, and uniform nuruose in society and DANGER IN DELAY. Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous for Astoria People to Neglect. The great danger of kidney troub les is that they get a firm hold before the sufferer recognizes them.

Don't neglect your kidneys. Cure the kidneys with the certain and safe remedy, Doan s Kidney Tills, which has cured people right here in As toria. D. E. Duncan, who resides at the corner of Duane and Ninth Sts., As toria, Ore., says: "I had been troub led with a weakness of the back and loins often extending through the whole muscular system as far up as the shoulders. Not only did my back ache, but there was a weakness from the kidney secretions which was very annoying and disturbed my rest I heard about Doan's Kidney Tills era Cards of Candidates In J the Coming Election ; the law of the State denning those procured a box at Rogers drug store, ml leaving their operation, and use( them.
