He is everywhere, and up-to-date; his paper, his magazine, his library are simply indispensable to him, while the telegraph, wire and wireless, keep him in touch with the world on the current history of the day. It is one of the best signs we have of national stability and readiness. Great emergencies are met all over the land with communal understand ing and appreciation that save days and weeks of coaching and prepara tion, and drilling for action. The country is never asleep; the Presi dent, the Governor, the Mayor, al ways find the people on the spot when they are wanted for high pur poses, and thousands of them equip ped for leadership. No country in the world has as many readers of the daily news as the United Sttes; if there are classes in this country, there is a paper for each, ad all are studied avidly; the nation is never without a working knowledge of the great events trans piring, or to transpire. From Astoria to the keys of Floradi and from the St. Croix to San Diego it is the same and the common school is at the bot tom of it. It is splendid equipment and the country at large appre ciates it i GREAT DAY, THIS!. This is a great day in the United States. The flower of the American navy leaves the Golden Gate for its trip around the world, an eight months' tour over five of the seven seas, to carry ' the message of good-will and peace to all men. There are those who deem this great voyage a piece of national braggadocia, a tentative insult to every, nation that shall be visited, and an extravagant attempt at bluff on the high seas, but such people are few, thanks be!. The coun try in general looks to the fleet to spread the gospel of friendliness and harmony everywhere and it will do it if it is permitted by those whom it shall visit. The Democratic National Conven tion will meet in Denver this day to get ready for its quadrennial knock out at the American polls. This is a serious matter always, and might be dispensed with were it not for the trditional cleaving of the "old guard" to its broken idols; and then again it serves as an outing for a host of good fellows tht need the relexation and the excitement of the journey and the old-time touch of civic action. The country looks on with good natured tolerance and rather enjoys the typical sham of it all, knowing that the end will be as It always is and may not be else so long as the once formidable party is without man and issue wherewith to win out. It is sad, of course, but apparently in evitable. CHINESE REFORM. The Americanized Chinaman is reaching after the redemption of his own great land. The Chinese Empire Reform Association, which has its sub-associations all over the Pacific coast, Astoria included, is doing a great work and should be encour aged so far as it will permit the friendly aid of the Americans. They are working out their own salyation, within their own ranks and taking their cue, but not their guidance, from the natives of this country. They are passing the messages of peace and ' freedom and progress back to the intelligent and capable t .. THE J. S. DELLINGER CO, $7.00 .60 ASTORIAN. ..$1.50 of their own people at home and lending immense service, in counsel and money, for the spread of the healthier and happier code oi civic life there. It is an up-hill task, and they may be long years in attaining to their ends; but it is worth all the time and trouble and sacrifice, and posterity will bless them, as we bless the forefathers of our own dear land. Huge as is the enterprise its consummation will be infinitely vast er and its blessings without end. STAND BY YOUR TOWN. Every Astorian who goes forth into the States adjoining Oregon, north, east and south, returns with the same story as to Asoria. The rend of the tale is, that this city is holding its own admirably with every place of like size and character on the coast; that there is just a bit more activity here than anywhere else; that we have less to complain about than any other town, and that things generally hereabout are equally as good, if not a shade bet ter, than most of the towns these er rant Astorians have visited. It is the talk of men who judge things as they pass, and not the brag of partial home-people. It all goes to show that we should stand by the city of Astoria. She is of the best, as far as she goes; and is forging ahead all the time. There is more money here, according to these travelers, than most places enjoy, and more industrial activity; and even if the year be dull, as all Presidential years are, this yields no predicate for knocking the place. We are doing all our present financial string will permit; the future is as bright as it ever was; we have no great communal burdens, no distinct and retarding impediments; we are simply not doing as much business as we would like to do; that is about all there is to Astoria's real plant. Stand by the town and have a good word for it ever on the end of your tongue and pen. It pays. Get to gether solidly and soundly and move en masse, for the new things that are to come; bring them in; don't wait for them to be brought, or sent, in; stand by, and nothing will get past you or the town' either!. The Mexican regulars are likely to report that the bandits they cap ture try to escape. - Recent elections in Kentucky and Tennessee show that it is becoming an easy task to jar a Democrat loose from his office. Puck was the first to girdle the earth, followed by the English drum beat, and now Fourth of July cele brations are in the list. An admirable sense of the fitness of things was shown by the Demo cratic National Committee in choos ing Mr. Bell to sound the keynote at Denver. A Turkish decoration has for its motto: "Pity, mercy, kindness." The sultan permits these abstractions, but a button . inscribed, "Prompt pay" would arouse his wrath. A Connecticut Democratic paper advances the idea that "Taft is the heir of McKinley." The Republican party will not be alarmed if the proof of this view is furnished.

Ymir rrocer returns rw mmtj If roo doo't IOmII: w pr him Utilizing Waste Steam While in the past, nnmf untold wealth of natural resources, America has been wasteful and extravagant, the inventions which bring;' the gVeat-1 est premiums to-day are those which' utilize waste material and power. De - mand for better and cheaper power is increasing every day and happily jing from 15 to 7,5 pounds pressure the inventors arc just about keeping I doe almost as much work as' from pace with the demands by .continu-1 13') to 60 pounds. An expansion of ally discovering Ways and means to! from two pounds to one pound is supply additional electrical power without adding to the cost. The steam engine is the most ex - travagant imaginable to transfer coal energy into mechanical energy. Not only does it require millions of tons of coal to keep it supplied with steam but it cannot use a large percentage of the steam power. The power of steam is produced by expansion and the best steam engines waste con siderable of this power in the exhaust With the engine operating Under 180 pounds steam pressure and exhaust ing at about 30 pounds pressure, half 'the power is wasted. It was to rem edy this refect that the compound engine was produced which uses the steam twice at a wonderful economy. That is, the steam which left the first cylinder at about 3D pounds pressure was carried to another ud a larger cylinder and used over again, extract ing considerable of the power form erly going to waste. The first cylin der of the compound engine is small owing to the high steam pressure but as the steam expands to a greater volume the second cylinder, operat ing at low pressure, is necessarily large. But even the compound en gine, which takes up a lot of room, does not get all the power out of the expanding steam and the loss still reaches alarming proportions. The development of the steam tur bine a few years ago was a long step towards cheaper power. This is especially true where the turbine is used for the generat'on of electric ity in central stations, power hguses and the like. Electricity soon dem onstrated its superiority over all other forms of power in manufactur ing, and years ago industrial plants began to utilize their steam engines to drive generators in the power house while all the machinery us driven by electric motors. This plan did away with rope and belt drives, shafting and consequent loss ol THE PLAIN TRUTH. What More Can Astoria People Ask? When well known residents and highly respected people of Astoria make such statements as the follow ing, it must carry conviction to every reader: Mrs. E. Haggblom, corner Ninth and Harrison streets, Astoria, Ore gon, says: "For ten years I suffered acutely from kidney trouble which gradually grew more severe until I became alarmed. My back was so weak and painful and I suffered from such severe dizzy spells that I could hardly get around. At last I was forced to take to my bed and re mained there for a long time. My kidneys were irregular in action and the secretions so profuse as to cause me a great deal of suffering. At last I decided to try a good kidney rem edy and procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at Rogers drug store. The results that followed their use were most satisfactory. I continued using them and it was not long be fore I was completely cured. I have used Doan's Kidney Pills on some oc casions since ,to keep my kidneys in good order and can conscientiously say I have not had any recurrence of the trouble since they cured me."

The turbine soon proved that it utilized more of the steam energy and gave more power for the same amount of fuel and attention than the old type of t steam engines. I Figures show that steam expend capable of nearly as much work as the expansion of the same weight of 'steam from 200 to 100 pound. Under i high pressure the steam does more is Miiall; under low pressure it does less work per square inch but the volume is so larne and cover so many square inehei that it does prac tically the same amount of work, pro vidimt there i working surface enough to use this low pressure en ergy. During the last few month a new type of Curtis steam turbine has been developed which is designed to be operated under low steam pressure. This type of turbine ue exhaust steam just as it leaves the exhaust pipes from a common steam engine. In other words, it i built to utilize the waste steam, To understand the workings of this turbine it must be remembered that as steam expand the pressure diminishes and the vol ume increases, from nign pressure tthe volume increases slowly with a long drop in pressure but when the low pressures are reached the volume increases rapidly with small decreas es in pressure. For a reciproctaing engine to get full benefit from low pressure steam would require the use of cylinder of such immense size as to make their use prohibitive through mechanical difficulties. On the other hand the low-pressure turbine, with its wide blades and large nozzles, will handle a great volume of steam in rapid motion and utilize all the en ergy. The Curtis low-pressure turbine is made in sizes from 700 to lO.tXK) horse-power, designed to take s'eam at one pound gauge pressure and ef ficiently utilize its energy. It can be advantageously applied in any case iwhere reciprocating engine'itre now used and will increase the station out put without increase of boiler plant or using more fuel. When ths Noie Bleeds.

Cares of State. Anecdotes of great statesmen and orators nre apt to prove interesting to the general reading public because it is expected that they will reveal some thing of the working of a great mind. In the "Life nnd Letters of Sir Rich ard C. Jebb" Is told a story of Mr. Disraeli which Is worthy to be called historical. Mr. Disraeli,, after one of hla best speeches, left the house with Sir, Montagu Corry. "I was wondering," Mr. Corry after ward confessed, "what a great orator would talk about Just after a success ful speech." "'Corry.' said Mr. Disraeli, 'do yon know how to get Into a cab?
