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.

TARIFF REVISION.
"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,

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.

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
