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

the sufferer recognizes them. Health

or they will go up against a decree
never yet invoked, but which, once
appealed to, will forever press its im

trade in a halter of regulation un
dreamed of!.

Kidney complaint kills more people
than any other disease. This is due to
the disease being so insidious that it
gets a good hold on the system before
it is recognized. Foley's Kidney Cure
will prevent the development of fatal
disease if taken in time.
