This is the name and the man the country is called upon to consider in regard to the bestowal of the highest gift within its province, as opposed to the claims of Hon. William H. Taft. Hon. William J. Bryan is quite as well known to the American electorate as is the ex-war secretary in the Roose velt cabinet, and has a powerful and intelligent following, in the land, and may not be reckoned with upon any flimsy basis whatever. As a fair prelude to the vast, the interminable, popular discussion that will ensue for the next four months, it may be said of both that they are clean and able men, actuated by the loftiest sentiments of civic pride and the widest and richest experience in grot affairs; both stand unimpeached as citizens and representative men and command the respect of the nation. Political differentiations will, of course, arise and be hotly contended for, on the rostrum, in the press, at all the great and minor centers of the country, and by the time the issues have been laid and the crisis of the polls arrives, both men will have been abused, discredited, and generally scarified out of all semblance to their true and original selves; on the other Land, each will have been exalted for every known grace and attribute he possesses, and perhaps for many that he never had, and the divisions of the people, standing for one and the other, will have exhausted themselves in the wild up-roar of the campaign, and after the choice has been made, the country will subside, and go on its commoner and pre-destined course, united and tranquil and business-like, as ever. Primarily both these men stand for the good of the nation in every conceivable direction, and neither will forfeit, for an instant, the commtmd ing and honorable place they hold in the public estimate. As men and par tisans, they will stand for divergent policies of government and separate schemes and schisms of purely, poli tical sort. Otherwise, they are just what' they are: High-minded, com mendable, and honored citizens of the United States. It is up to the people of the country to say which system and which man they want. Wtih them rests the final and arbi trary word. But they will sound the polite amenities and the nicer de mands of human intercourse. He made himself respected and thus re flected that advantage upon the com munity he was so prominently identi fied with. His death is counted a distinct loss to Astoria because of the good he wrought for her by the maintenance of these high criterions, at all hazards and at all times, with all men, nor will he be soon forgotten, nor the play of his righteous influence be dimin ished or neglected. be grotesque for him to teach north ern students; for all his brilliancy he must go down South again." This would seem to indicate that there is a standard, but who tan define it? Which is the undefined English as she is spoken in Boston, New York, Chicago, or " San FrarTcisco?Ench section of the country has its particu lar accent and can' make out a very reasonable defense of its correctness, But allowing for all these different accents, nowhere with a single ex ception is English spoken in this country with any regard for the finer shadings of voice and intonation that are so useful for emphasis ami hence for clearness of expression The single exception is (mirabile dictu) Pittsburg, where doubtless as as inheritance from the Pennsylvania Dutch, intonation and inflection of speech is common. Even there in toning bending a sentence attimesbe comes enchanting, but it is at least a good likeness of the real thing Everywhere else the words leave the speaker's mouth on a line as straight as this sentence whole conversations are conducted with an entire absence of coloring, variation of tone, or re igard for right emphasis. As a peo pie is, so is its theatre. Brief chron iclers of their time, stage people in manner of speech and other tests of cultivation, are but public examples of what prevails generally. THE PLAIN TRUTH. What More ASTORIA'S OWN. Everybody is pleased with the out come of the effort that has ben made to organize the artillery company of the Oregon Xatroal Guard here, and the fine group of young Astorians en ter upon their military career with the unanimous and cheerful good will of their fellow citizens. As the first company in the artil lery service under the new forma tion devised by the federal govern ment ,on the Pacific coast, this com pany hould and will establish a high standard of accomplishment and fur nish an admirable example for those that follow in the same line of mili tary service and Astoria will have very tangible reason for pride and interest in their future. There is no measuring the possi bilities that may fall to such an or ganization. The years may be full of opportunity for the making of splen did records, and the accumulation can only add to the civic sense of obligation already felt in the home company. The duties confronting the soldier are of the hardest, and yet they are the loftiest imposed by hu man association and organic effort, and if the hour of manful test comes we want to feel the foregone and cer tain assurance that the First Com pany, of Astoria, will be in the van and ready for the great try-out with quality, courage, and adroitness su preme. This is the standard the peo ple are setting for the new force, and they will not be disappointed. Dur ing the hours of peace they will pre pare against the vast emergency of war, as the greatest of all American soldiers has commanded. Good luck to them, one and all, for all time!. Can Astoria Ask? People 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, comer Ninth and Harrison streets, Astoria, Ore gon, says: Jror ten years 1 surtered 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 tret around. At last 1 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 i Kidney Pills at Rogers drug store Ihe 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."

Most of people have the impression that fun and humor are Itfe inciden tals, not necessities; that they are lux uries and have no great bearing upon one's career. Many think of fun as frivolous, in dicating a lack of serious purpose in life There are parents who rebuke their children because they want to have fun and go in for a good time, These parents have yet to learn the great part which fun and humor play in the physical economy, and their influence on the life. What a complete revolution in your whole physical and mental being conies after a really funny play! You went to the play tired, jaded, worn oue, discouraged. All your mental faculties were clogged with brain ash; vou could not think clearly. When you came home you were a new be ing. Success. BEATEN BEFORE HE BEGAN ENGLISH UNDEFILED This time last season, Miss Maude Adams, obtaining Charles Frohman's permission to revive "L'Aiglon" for a Western tour, found herself con fronted with the great difficulty that always lies in the path of obtaining depths of the doctrines as they arise 'uniformity or refinement of speech on during the turbulent season to come, the stage.

With our inalienable right to fore cast this word, we declare they will, beyond all question, name William Howard Taft for the Presidency. PETER LACY CHERRY. In every community throughout the for the hrst rehearsal, then was heard a perfect Babel. of conflicting modes of speech. The Western burr, the New Yo.rk accent, the Southern drawl, the Yankee' twang, and the clipped utterance of an Englishman could be distinguished in some cases only by an acutely sensed ear, but upon the whole there was an unmis takeable incongruity and discord of civilized world there are the men ' pronunciation and ' utterance among who serve to balance and adjust the,' the twenty players assembled to re local trend of thought and action; hearse a classic.

Now he wants a place in a northern cleanliness and sobriety, while he was university as a lecturer in English, punctilious in the observance of the but he talks like a nigger it would rxot long ago a young man came into my office to solicit a subscription for, a publication. I could see at glance, before he had fairly introduc ed his subject, that he was covered all over with defeat. His very attitude his manner, said to me, "I have come in here to get your subscription for , but I do not expect to get it. I know you are a very busy man, and I d not wish to take your time or to impose upon you." This young man did not come in with the assurance in his manner that bespeaks victory. could see that he was really beaten before he began. Nobody likes the Uriah Heep kind of solicitor who spends half his time apologizing for taking your valuable time. The important thing for the solici tor is put the prospective customer into such a position that it will not be easy for him to turn him down. He should have great confidence in himself, and in the thing he has to sell. He must carry conviction in his manner. Hesitancy, doubt, in decision are fatal. Courage is as im portant to a solicitor as to an animal tamer, who has to guard very care fully against the slightest signs of fear. To hesitate in the cage of an untamed lion or tiger is to be lost. Even if unable to get an order, a so licitor should win a man's respect and adimration. He should, by a master ly bearing, meet customers on a plane of equality. A friend of mine, a shrewd business man, says a solicitor came to his of fice recently whose face was so ra diant with interest in his purpose, and so bubbling over with enthusiasm that he won confidence and admira tion at the very outset. My friend gave the young man an order for what he did not want, because he liked him. , 1 HIS FOR KM. Dissolve one package of any flavor ed JELL-0 in one pint of boiling water.

They bought a $1,200 house in town, and on the same block they will have, as a neighbor, a saloon keeper and a butcher who whips his wife. They are half a block from a livery stable and one block from a blacksmith shop, so I guess that so ciety doings will be brisk around there. No chickens, no cows, no pigs in the pen, no garden, no truck patch, no wheat in the mill, and as the boy said, "no nothing" only $2 a day. Now $2 day is about $600 a year, holidays and Sundays left out, and Ben can not be sure of full 300 days' work in a year. His wife won't be able to sell $40 worth of butter, and $50 worth of poultry as she did last year, and buy ing flour at $7.50 a barrel is a different thing from having your own wheat and selling fifty bushels more than you need for floor. Farmers Voice. tails and events, ntul readers are too prone to associate he people of the past with the conveniences of the pre sent. Few realize that previous to the in vention of the tallowdip,t by King Alfred, the interior of ihe Saxon castles and banquet halls in F.nglund were lighted with torches held in iron sockets on the walls. Of course they smoked and flickered, and it is written that the wind blew the sparks alt over the room. In ancient Rome and Greece the torch was the standard method of illuminating buitdings and streets although lumps, burning (at from a rush wick, were extciiKivcly used. The advent of gas lights was quick ly overshadowed by the discovery of petroleum. And then, after thousands of years of groping about in almost absolute darkness, the electric light, discovered only about a score of years ago, gave the nearest substitute to actual sunlight known to man. Since then great strides have been made in artificial lighting until only a few days ago the scientists announc ed the new tungsten electric light, which i predestined to revolutionize electric lighting. The light from the new tungsten in candescent lamps is pure white and is closely allied to natural sunshine. It is the first illuminant by which all colors can be distinguished. Color is an ocular conception. Without light there is no color. Red is red only be cause it has the quality of absorbing all other colors of the spectrum and reflecting the red rays. Artificial lights in which the yellow, violet, or re rays predominate cannot be used to match colors. Under the clear white light of the tungsten lamps violet is not blue; pink is not red; and blue is not black as when looked at under any other kind of artificial light. The most Urlivrate tints show clear and true, ; 1 TnugMcn, or Wolfram, Is a metal discovered in 1781 ami iinmed from the Swedish "tung" (heavy) mid "oteit" tstonc)." It i not found nativo but occurs as tuiigstiile of iron and manganese in the mineral "wolfran he," and as the calcium tungstute. The pure metal, which was produced only few month ago in the electric furnace, U a bright steel gray, a hard und' brittle crystalline substance. It Is also ticd to increase the temper and tenacity of steel for hard tools. The fusing point of tungMcn Is higher than uny other metal, which enables it to operate ot the very high efficiency obtained in the tungsten lump. .Tungsten lamps are ' made m the same principle as the common incan descent lamps. They look about the same but the filament i longer, loop ed several times in the gluts bulb ami anchored at both ends, It is not alone because the tungnlcn lamps give a better quality .of light than any other artificial illuminant that it take first place In the lighting world. But this new lamp is the per fection of economy and will give three times as much light as the ordinary electric light for the same amount of money. The ordinary incandescent light consumes 3.8 watts of electricity per candle-power; The new tungsten lamp consumes only 1.2 watts or less than a third. This mean that with the same amount of illumination the electric light bills art reduced two thirds, The life of these lamps it about 1000 hours and they work equally as well on direct or alternat ing current. Every effort in the laboratories of the electric industry is bent towards economy for both producer and con sumer. The latest development in electric light, which will save two thirds of alt the .electric light bills, is but another long step in the right direction.
