OUR "FOURTH" L
Astoria is going in for a home cele
bration on the coming Fourth of
July.
The Clerks' Union of the city has
been given the reins of control and
procedure and the members of that
organization, knowing everyone and
everything likely to conduce to the
success of this pleasure venture, and
4iaving the merchants and people
behind them, will make a quick and
thorough campaign for the achieve
ment of a glorious day and a rousing
success.
Let no man take thought of the
Regatta. For the time being at least
that is a barren proposition. It may
come up later in the season, but un
til the Fourth of July has been reg
istered as among the best disposed
holidays in Astorian history, the Re
gatta may be considered a closed
matter.
We would like to see the program
for the Fourth largely given over to
marine sports. They are of Astoria,
Astorian, and can hardly be dis
pensed with. And in any and all
events we are with the movement for
the smashing good celebration; one
that will draw its thousands and tens
of thousands of people and give them
their money's worth of unalloyed
good time.
tinning this tribute. Portland has ab
soHitcly nothing to yield in return,
but rather seeks to deprive this coin
munity of every vestige of advantage
and process for accumulation that be
longs here of right; to thwart, deny,
and discredit the city and port, the
harbor, all their possibilities for com
mercial development, to leave them
barren and futile. And just why As
toria should lick the hand that deals
her the hardest, the most frequent
and telling, of the stiff blows, is a
problem in bull-headed assininity as
yet unanswered.
We have heard the protests from
Portland against these views; we
know them to be fictions. We want
no more of them. We have been
bamboozled and led by the nose, and
cajoled, until we are laughing at our
selves for the sheer access of our
own stupidity. The day of adjust
ment is at hand, and there is no more
effective doctrine of reprisal at our
service than to boycott the Portland
merchant to the tune of $1,000,000 a
year. If we cannot find "other mar
kets of supply, then set up our own
wholesale depots and keep the pro
fits at home. We do our own bank
ing; why not do all else?.

THE MEASURE OF LUCK.
While a hundred communities
throughout the country are practi
cally ruined by dreadful visitations
of rain and flood and drought and
fire and other agencies of commercial
wreckage, Astoria has but little to
complain of in the way of weather
conditions; and absolutely nothing
when comparative measures are made
as between our safe, comfortable and
busy status and the desperate ant?
unhappy burdens thrust upon our far
neighbors.
We have a backward season; the
weather is gloomy; crops are un
promising; business is dull; the shad
ow of the clouds have darkened our
spirits and gotten on to our nerves;
but what does this amount to in the
face of what our fellows are going
through?. They are facing ruin and
death daily and the present load they
are staggering under will be drawn
out through the years of dogged and
courageous battling for what they
have lost. .i -J
It is only by taking cognizance of
the relative burdens we are carrying
with those that are pressing our
neighbors that we may realize the
lightness and littleness of our own.
Astoria is all right in a thousand
ways, and she knows it.
EDITORIAL SALAD
Crop prospects have never been
better, and as the Republican presi
dential candidates are all first class
the political outlook is equally
promising.
More men work for the United
States Steel Company than for the
United States Government. No won
der the steel trust is so hard to
regulate.
Mobile gave the Yon Yonson dele
gates a majority of two to one over
the Bryan ticket. The sentiment of
Mobile is that a third licking may be
unavoidable, but is not desirable.
A spider eats 27 times its weight
in one day. Among the things for
which a man can be thankful, at the
present price of marketing, is that he
is built on another plan.
David B. Hill will leave in July for
his first visit to Europe. Mr. Hill is
a Democrat still, so still that he pre
fers to be out of the country during
another Bryan racket.
DOING THEIR DUTY.
Scores of Astoria Readers Are Learn
ing the Duty of the Kidneys.
THE PENAL DOLLAR.
Astoria is worth $1,000,000 a year
to Portland!.
Portland is worth nil to Astoria
per annum!.
What's the matter with striking a
balance?.
It cannot be struck to parallel the
basis of the million; therefore it must
be arrived at on the negative side of
the account. As Portland conlributes
nothing to this city, things should be
so arranged that Astoria shall mean
nothing to the metropolis until Port
land shall bid richly for that which is
now given her gratuitously.
The penal dollar is the only dollar
that begets a realizing sense of the
equities between communities; the
dollar that comes freely and gener
. ously is not accounted properly until
it ceases to come; then its actual value
is quickly determined and appreciat
ed. We might spend ten millions a
year at Portland and it would be tak
en simply as ordinary commercial'
tribute.

desirous to rid myself of it, I decided

DENIES ALL THE CHARGES
Bryan Says if the Contribution to
Judge Parker Was Made, it Was
Without His Knowledge, and
Proven Will be Returned.
LINCOLN', Neb., June S.-ln
statement given last night to the As
sociated press, William J. Bryan re
plies to an article that appeared
week ago in the New York World
charging that Mr. Bryan was the
beneficiary of a campaign contrihu
tion made by Thomas I Ryan. Mr
Bryan declares if Mr. Ryan mad
the contribution it was without his
knowledge or consent and he repeats
his former statement that when it is
proven to him that Mr. Ryan did
make the contribution he will see that
the money is returned to the donor,
Mr. Bryan says:
"I have just read the World's story
charging, first, that my brother-in law
Mr. Allen, chairman of the Democra
tic committee had a conference with
Mr. Sheehan in 1904 in regard to the
campaign funds.
"Second that Mr. Sheehan as Mr
Ryan's attorney secured from Mr
Ryan $20,000 for the Nebraska cam
paign.
"Third that Mr. Ryan made the
contribution to secure my open and
unqualified support of Judge Farkcr.
"Fourth, that to disguise the source
of the contribution, Mr. Ryan gave
the check to Mr. Sheehan and that
Sheehan gave his checks to Mr. Allen.
"Chairman Allen and Mr. Dahlman
the Nebraska member of the National
Democratic Committee have already
denied the World's charges and stat
ed that the only money received
came from the National Committee
but I desire to add tthe following
statement:
"Mr. Allen says he never saw cither
Mr. Sheehan or Mr. Ryan and I have
no reason to doubt his word. If Mr.
Ryan contributed to the Nebraska
campaign it was not with my know
icage or consent. v nue i had but a
remote personal interest in the Ne
braska campaign that year, I am in
terested in Nekraska politics and am
so interested in National Politics that
I am not willing to be in the slight
est degree obliged to any favor-seek
ing corporation. If, therefore, the
World will secure either from Mr.
Sheehan or Mr. Ryan a statement, or
prove in any other way, that Mr
Ryan gave to Mr. Sheehan or to any
one else or to the National Com
mittee any sum whatever with the
understanding that the sum would
be used in thte Nebraska campaign
I shall have that amount returned to
Mr. Ryan.
"As to the charge that my sup
port of Judge Parker was purchased
I need only say that I announced
my support of Judge Parker immed
iately after the St. Louis convention
and that the support was open and
unqualified from the convention until
the polls closed. 1 had opposed his
nomination, but he had no more
loyal supporter durin gthe campaign.
I was in correspondence with him
and both on the stump and with my
pen rendered all tthe assistance I
could. While the World was selling
its columns to the republican com
mittee to be
quietly nli'satcd to a room back of
the kitchen, that his five fellow
boarders might not he aroused. Then
the contagion spread, nuil Bessie
Dougta was striken with the malady.
She, too, wa placed in private puar
tors, unknown to the Board of Health
and one of the five hoarders, suddenly
coining upon Osborn in his back
roam retreat, gave the alarm, with
the result that three of the boarders
left for parts unknown, and two hied
themsehes to n nearby barn.
Still the Board of Health was un
aware of the contagion in the Doug
las household, and it continued to
spread, the latest victim being the
little six y.-ar-old daughter of fi, K
llaviland, who occupied the upstairs
portion of the boardinghouse. Then
a mysterious telephone message noti
fied Dr. I'ohl of conditions illegally
withheld from her for nearly a month
and the attest of Douglas and Havi
land followed Yesterday.
uaviiatul explained his neglect to
notify the Board of Health of the
contagion by asserting his belief in
Christian Science, but Douglas offer
ed no excuse, and was stubborn, the
imposition of a heavier fine on him
being the result. After Douglas
voiced his threat to "rot in jail" be
fore paying the fine, he was led to
jail by Clerk Thomas Jefferson Cosey.
Later Mrs. Douglas appeared with
mJicient money to secure her hus
band's rcleajc, but he remained ab-
lurate, and is still incarcerated.
A Ft W SPbUALS
SOMETHING EXTRA FINE
WILL BREAK WILL.
Of V. II. Caldwell Leaving An Estate
Valued at $75,000.
ALBANY, Or., June 5 A contest
has been instituted in the Probate
Court here to break the will of the
late V. 11. Caldwell, a Linn County
pioneer, who died April 8, leaving an
estate valued at $75,000. George W.
Caldwell, a Portland attorney, a on
and one of the chief beneficiaries of
the deceased, is charged with writing
the will and using undue influence
and over-persuasion to induce his
father to sign it. The objections were
signed by Almeda Caldwell, youngest
daughter of the deceased, and who.
spite of the fact that she is an in
valid, was bequeather only $500.
Caldwell left 14 children, and seven
of them arc bequeather only $500
each. Bequest from $1XX) to $4500
each are left the other seven children,
who are also to share equally the
estate not specifically bequeathed.
George W. Caldwell and William
Caldwell are named executors with
out bond, and are made trustees
without bond of $10,000 to be given to
charity, their decision in its dispusi-
ion to be absolute.
It is claimed in the objections that
Caldwell was 77 years of age when he
signed the will last .November, and
was unable to read it or understand
its provisions. It is alleged that he
stated many times after the will was
signed that he made no will, and
ome of the heirs assert that he never
knew that he had signed it.

PORTLAND, June S.-Two sweet

emptied by the affliction, and mystery
surrounding the publicity given the
contagion, figure in the police court
case which ended this morning by W,
E. Douglas and G. K. Haviland being

being sentenced to pay $25 for with
holding the misfortune of his house

than pay the fine, but Haviland ac

The case centers about Pessie
