WANTED: A SOLOMONl Five courts have been called upon to name the proper and legal assign ment in life of the famous "Incubator Baby," of the St. Louis World's Fair, now a dainty little girl of four years. She was born in a hospital, stolen from her mother and negotiated to an incubator company, exhibited at the famous fair, her place being filled at her sick mother's side by the dead in fant of an actress, and she was finally adopted from the incubator people by a wealthy and childless woman, who is devoted to her, and is suing for permanent possession of her in all the courts she can raise the issue in. If they will just keep it up awhile longer the girl will be at an age to settle her own sphere and career in life by marrying some good, or bad, fellow and wiping out the claims that are raging about her now. We are not posing as an arbiter in this interesting case, but we are ven hiring the declaration that the judge who goes back to the Solomonic prin ciple and awards the baby to her real mother will come nearer satsfying justice and society and peremptorily settling the alleged equities, than by any other possible course. The case will be a notable one whenever, and however, it shall be closed; but we do not believe the first principle of hu' man life and love can be successfully barred nor over-ridden, but rather will live and re-confirm itself, to the glory of our noblest attribute, mother-love, Jing; it is, logically, a place for motor boats rather than for automobiles and there should be plenty of spirit behind a movement for such an or ganization but it must be invoked at a season when everything that appeals to the project is in plain sight and daily use; and therefore we deem the regatta season as the most propitious for the launching of the sportsmanlike enterprise. THE CIGARETTE. Every time a grown man puts lighted cigarette in his mouth he be gins to shrink to the proportions of the contemptible "smoke;" it belittles him at once and puts him in a class at which real men look askance. The habit may, by kindly indulgence, be over-looked in the boy; he is nearer the size and calibre of the cigarette, pitiful and puny as it is; but the use of it by anyone who has attained his majority negatives his claim to man hood and creates the impression that he lacks something. It is the same with girls and wo men, lney lorieit a measure ot tnai respect all men are ready to accord them, the instant they appear with one of the "things" in their presum ably pure mouths; it is "chic" and fashionable, and ultra and all that, of course; out it is inaumissanic, coarse, as to the gentler sex; and inane, con temptible, and pitiful as to the alleged men who persist in their use. And this, aside from the deleterious effect of the invariably "doped" cig arette upon the health of the user. SUNDAY AT THE CHURCHES Mo" New From the New Enl8nd State. First Norw. Ev. Lutheran.

"When, in the course of human events" the "interests" of this glo rious land shall get down to the un gracious task of revising the federal tariffs, we, with other men who rebel against the tremenduous and shame less injustices the present schedules stand for, are hoping that the chief, the deadliest outrage of it all, that provision which permits the American manufacturer to ship his wares thou sands of miles away and sell them to a foreign dealer at, from forty, to six ty per cent, less than he compels his American fellow to pay for them, may be wiped from the revenue statutes of the country. Protection that pro tects the man abroad to the burdening of the home citizen is a commercial treachery so raw, so bloodless, so nearly criminal, as to warrant a revo lution, and it would have come years ago in any other land than this. Take cart of the little, new indus try if you will, but, in the name of rational, common equity, give the home man the first chance and the best profit among the real staple pro ducts of the land in manufactured shape. YACHT-CLUB NEXT. Astoria is to be congratulated upon her social, athletic and military ac quisitions, established, and prospec tive, such as the Philharmonic Society the Amateur Athletic Association, and the O. N. G. company, (and armory) ; and the next regatta should prove an auspicious opening for the formation of a genuine yacht club with its own house, pier and fleet; everything is at hand else; we have the noblest water way in the Northwest, not barring ,even the beautiful reaches of Puget Sound, which is in no sense superior to the mouth of the Columbia save in the-matter of distances. There is plenty of money here, for this purpose; fine boat-building es tablishments for the turning out of motor and sail power craft; plenty of tranied skill to satisfy the limits of pleasure and sport and record-mak- .EDITORIAL SALAD, Any back talk that Prosperity may have will be received with thanks. If Mr. Bryan is to condole with Mr. Cleveland, the ex-president is just ob- tinate enough to get well. Thirty thousand cotton mill work ers are out of employment in Lan cashire. There is business depres sion in many parts of the world, but the United States is not among the heavy- sufferers. It may be true that a board of in quiry 'might make it worse' for an army officer under official displeasure, but the idea that a regular trial ac cording to the laws is best is deeply rooted in the American mind. The White House conference ad journed sine die in time to prevent it from turnine into a Democratic love feast. Something must be'pardoned in a party that is so seldom in touch with the atmosphere of the Executive lansioa. t. .. If Democratic governors were more numerous the White House confer ence might have taken the form of a party caucus. But the worst that could happen in the East Room be fore adjournment was a filibuster, and the time wfes too short for that. Norwegian-Danish M. E. Services as usual, morning and evening.

"LIVERPOOL JACK" Republican J Nominee for Constable OF THE CONDITION OF THE Nil The Most Common Cause of Suffering One of the planks of the Republi can state platform is as folows: We are opposed to the abuse of the initiative and referendum by the sub mission to the 'people of large num bers of measures on the same ballot. The people are too busy to give these measures the ..attention necessary to insure wise action. The number of measures to be submitted at any one election should be limited and it should be further provided that a measure once voted down by the peo ple should be ineligible to a place on the ballot for a perid of six years thereafter. The latter part of this plank is clearly directed against woman suf frage. This proposition wa.s thor oughly canvassed, two years ago and was deefated) by a majority of 10,173. There has been on change in public opinion on this question and the irrf migration into the state has been chiefly of those opposed, to this amendment. Nevertheless it is again foised on the ballot under the mislead ing title of "Equal Suffrage" in the hope that through the inattention of the voters and the carelessness which will follow from the Jarge number of propositions submitted, this measure may slip thrugh. The convention is right. This is an abuse of the initia tive. The amendment ought to be defeated by a larger majority than that of two years ago.

Rheumatism causes more pain and suffering than any other disease, for the reason that it is the most common of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying to sufferers to know that Chamber lain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and make rest and sleep possible. In many cases the relief from pain, which is at first temporary, has become perma nent, while in old people subject to chronic rheumatism, often brought on by dampness or changes in the weather, a permanent cure cannot be expected; the relief from pain which this liniment affords is alone worth many time its cost. 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by Frank Hart and Leading Druggists.
