BRYAN.
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!.

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."

FUN IS A NECESSITY.
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.

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

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

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

what he did not want, because he
liked him. ,

BETTER SOCIETY
Mrs. Ben says that she wants to
get into better society than the coun
try affords. 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.
