WITH THE SPELL-BINDERS.
Soon the season of the spell-binders
will be upon the country and the roar
of the poltico-champion will drown
the .rest of the raouthings wherewith
the people are afflicted; of course the
spell-binder always belongs to the
other party; we don't stand for any
committing ourselves unduly. There
was some reason for putting on the
Republican ticket at the running-mate
of a man known to the humblest
school-boy in the country; but as
yet we have not divined it. Astoria
awaits the revelation with all her
sister cities of the land; and when it
comes, we trust it will be satisfac
tory, if not edifying.
THE GOOD TIMES BOOM.
It Is true that optimism can b car
ried too far. There should be some-
megaphonic flap-doodle ourselves; we'tnmg ,a Blght t0 back ,t up- Prosper!-
ty which exists only In the mind Is a
don't need it; our leader, our pro
gram, our policies, our people, all are
beyond the pale of such raw
appenages.
There will be a good four months
of the deluge and then the people
will go quietly to the polls and vote
at they always do at presidential
elections, for the party candidate.
And let it be understood that our
party,, our, candidate, and all he
stands for, is progress, and the per
petuity thereof.
We don't know yet who is to be
lined up against Mr. Taft; but it
makes no difference; whosoever it
shall be is destined to defeat; that
goes without saying, for to saying
anything else were treason; and
treason, Republican treason, in Ore
gon, for instance, is an unknown
quantity, saying nothing of its qual
ity. With 33,000 Republican majority
to deliver to Mr. Taft on the 3rd of
November next, there is nothing to
worry us np in this far-away corner
nor to worry Mr. Taft either, unless
it be the raw absurdity of Governor
Chamberlain's election; and that was
balked and stalled as long ago as last
January, in Portland. So we need no
spell-binders nor the lure thereof.
It's all right in Oregon, or will be in
November!.
A "CANNY CHIEL."
"There's a chiel amang ye, takin'
notes." He is working out the prob
lem of the value of the stumpage of
the country. He works systemati
cally, scientifically, and his deductions
will be esentially reliable, whether
they be of practical value, or not.
Dr. Hawley, of the forestry service,
with his laboratory establish at the
Clatsop mills, is reducing the whole
available list of by-products of the
Oregon fir-stump to an analytical
basis and computation that will as
tonish the good folkes when the
demonstrations . are announced,
wehther they shall pay or not. It is
a clever proposition, whatever the
outcome, and shows that the Govern
ment is endeavoring to do something
of practical and compensatory nature.
Everybody is hoping the doctor's
ascertainment may be of the richest
residual value; and if disappointment
follows, it will not be his fault, nor
Uncle Sam's, nor ours, but simply
old Nature's; and she was never
bluffed yet.
SHERMAN, (?).
James S. Sherman, a native of New
York city; representative in Congress
from New York state, with a resi
dence at Utica, a lawyer, a Repblui
can, 54 years of age, a graduate of
Hamilton College, has been over
whelmingly nominated for the Vice
Presidency of the country. This is
the sum of our knowledge, at this
writing. What he has done to win
out in such a huge proposition as a
Presidential nomination, aside from
having been born where he was, in
quite beyond us. We are taking alto
gether for granted, with the rest of
Republican America, and letting it go
at that.
We are not able to say what
strength he adds to the Taft ticket;
we can guess, alright; but so can the
most of our readers; and our guess is
worth no more than theirs. Until
we know more, we respectfully re
frain from criticizing Mr. Sherman,
his sponsors, his nomination, or
poor asset The Iron Trade Review
thinks that this national habit of op
timism Is being pushed to excess in
some quarters at this particular time.
Referring to the unwarranted circula
tion of improvement reports, which It
calls "manufacturing prosperity," this
paper says:
Every section of ths country 1 natural
ly eager to see a restoration of normal
conditions, particularly on the part of Its
own leading Industries, and wherever
there is evidence that this is being ac
complished the fact is deserving of the
widest publicity, If for no other reason
than the influence It may exert on indus
trial conditions generally. But there is
no room for doubt that in the long run
the work of restoring confidence and of
building up business toward the normal
la actually hindered by the publication of
reports which are either entirely with
out foundation in fact or at most tell but
half the truth. These fallacies are cer
tain to b discovered and noised abroad,
and their reaction is Invariably disas
trous.
But it Is possible that the cry of
hard times was itself overdone. It b
to be noticed that some of the sections
which insisted last October that there
was no panic are still talking on the
same key. If the shouts of that class
of optimists fell upon dull ears, it is
but natural that they should shout
oftener and louder. There are truth
ful reports current of heavy orders in
manufacturing, of suspended banks re
opening, of an Increase in orders for
store goods. In the state of mind of
a year ago these reports would have
meant nothing. Now they tend to
offset the calamity cries. Fair crops
are in prospect, and prohibitive prices
are not likely to prevail in any lines.
It is safe to moderate our expecta
tions, especially that form of op
timism which leads to cashing expec
tations in advance. As the Review
points out, false prosperity is calcu
lated to do harm. There has been a
reign of luxurious living In this coun
try unwarranted by the real condition
of things. If the hard times are not
real, the scare may be worth while If
it makes the reckless ones more cau
tious. And false reports of prosperity
may do harm if they lead to more
recklessness.
Cured Hemorrhages of the Lungs.
"Several years since my lungs were
so badly affected that I had many
hemorrhages," writes A. M. Ake, of
Wood, Ind. "I took treatment with
several physicians without any bene
fit. I then started to take Foley's
Honey and Tar, and my lungs are now
as sound as a bullet. I recommend
it in advanced stages of lung trouble."
Foley's Honey and Tar stop the cough
and heals the lungs, and prevents
serious results from a cold. Refuse
substitutes. T. F. Laurin, Owl Drug
Store.
A man who is in perfect health, so
he can do an honest day's work when
necessary, has much for which he
should be thankful. Mr. L. C. Rodg
ers, of Branchton, Pa., writes that he
was not only unable to work, but he
couldn't stoop over to tie his own
shoes. Six bottles of Foley's Kidney
Cure made a new man of him. He
says, "Success to Foley's Kidney
Cure." T. F, Laurin, Owl Drug Store.

THEATRE FILLED AT OPEN
ING LAST NIGHT AND EV
ERYONE WENT AWAY
PLEASED WITH SHOW.
Among all the rich classics of
the st;ige the story of "Nell Gwynne"
stands pre-eminently fascinating; a
never-failing source of delight to t he
romancist and the historian alike. It
has lived, vivid, enthralling, absorb
ing through generations almost with
out number, and is, today, as spark
ling, exciting anfl interesting as when
it was lirst presented to an English
public.
No better vehicle could have been
chosen by the Georgia Harper Com
pany for their initial scheme of en
tertainment in this city on Sunday
night last, for, by it, they have made
swarms of friends and admirers.
Miss Georgia Harper as Nell
Gynne was a refreshing source of
charm to the Astoria publics, which
needed just some such enlivening
and unusual presentation Jo restore
their somewhat jaded sense of
amusement. She has evidently made
a profound study of the play and her
particular part in it, for she gave the
wide range of detail, from the pretty
fruit girl of the streets, to the darling
of the most romantic court in all of
England's history, with an ease and

grace and precision rarely met with,
and made an instant and pronounced
success.
She was ably and conscientiously
supported by a thoroughly balanced
caste, in which Joseph Detrich, as
Charles II, the "Merry Monarch,"
gave a spirited and delightful idea of
the regal sportsman and gallant, and
brought back to many a forgetful
mind the splendid apd thriling story
of the debonaire prince and king.
Glenn Harper, as Lord Rochester,
the king's favorite was strong and in
teresting character and added in
dubitably to the success of the even
ing. The part of Sir Francis Jeffreys,
the great jurist of that day, fell to
Melvin Mayo and was thoroughly
well disposed of; as was the grace
ful, and superficial character of
Lovelace, taken by Huron Elyden.
Geo. B. Bcrrell, an old Astoria favor
ite, was warmly welcomed, in his
work as Percival, the strolling
player, and went to the good as
usual. Paul McReynolds was decid
edly interesting and. made a true and
telling "Fairfax"; while Jack Mc
Donald's Captain Lacy, was gen
uinely appreciated.
C. H. Herman made an excellent
Rollins, and James C. Davis was
happily responsible for the clever
showing made by the Royal Guards
man, Clavering, while the aldermanic
honors were carried off by E. L. Wil
son. Miss Leota Howard, as the
Duchess of Portsmouth, the shrewd
and unscrupulous aristocrat was true
to life and the line that make for
some of the surprises of the famous
old play. Miss Frances Wiliamson,
as Lady Castlemain, and Miss Evelyn
Green, as Lady Olivia Vernon, were
excellent and dispensed the courtly
persiflage of their parts with ease and
success.
The whole affair was admirably
handled and put the troupe on cer
tain footing that will become more
friendly as the engagement progresses.
NEW STOCK COMPANY OPEN
INDEFINITE ENGAGEMENT
TO A LARGE HOUSE AND
SCORE A DISTINCT SUCCESS.
A large and aprcciative . audience
greeted the opening of Hager's play
house last evening, and those who
witnessed last night's performance
predict a genuine success for the pop
ular theatre and its genial manager,
Mr. Al Hager.
The Ashton Stock Company gave
a very good presentation of the four
act melo-drama, "The Sheriff." Miss
Lily Branscombe as Kate Dawson
was very god and won her way into
the hearts of the Astoria theatre
goers. Miss Hilda Graham as Reed gave
an example of her ability as an emo-
.ivruu. ,Vll ,11133 JICHdl I tt9 JJIlUgCl
kept the audience in good humor dur
ing the show. She is the best char
acter woman that has ben here in
some time. Mr. Ashton as the
"Sheriff" was the recipient of much
applause while Mr. George Mortimer
who was the parson, showed some
fine acting. Mr. Laurence as Elijah
Carlson and Mr. Bernhard as "Ike"
and Mr. Walte Wist rand as Rastus
are also actors of good ability and
altogether it is a strong company
and well deserved the shower of
flowers which were heaped upon
them at last night performance.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
If you will make inquiry it will be
a revelation to you how many suc
cumb to kidney or bladder troubles
in one form or another. If the patient
is not beyond medical aid, Foley's
Kidney Cure will cure. It never dis
appoints. T. F. Laurin, Owl Drug
Store.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles A Citizen of Astoria
Shows How to Cure Them.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it
is with all the other symptoms of
kidney disorders. That is just where
the danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to dia
betes or Bright's disease. The best
remedy to use is Doan's Kidney
Pills. It cures all ills which are
caused by weak or diseased kidneys.
Astoria people testify to permanent
cures.
Theodore Josephson, 515 Seventh
street, Astoria, Ore., says: "About
five years ago I used Doan's Kid
ney Pills and derived great bene
fit. I was suffering from severe
pains across my back and my loins
and at times was unable to stoop or
straighten. My kidneys also bother
ed me a great deal, as the secretions
were generally too free in passing. At
last Doan's Kidney Pills were
brought to rny attention and I pro
cured a box at Charles Rogers &
Son's drug store. I began using them
and my health is now excellent. I
take a few doses now and then, when
feeling any sign of backache and
they never fail to banish the trouble."
For sale by all dealers. Price 50
cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo,
