I to the scores of millions otherwise affected in such an engagement? Oregon, Washington, and Idaho Who will dare to put these men Fair. A FALSE PRINCIPLE. Just why organized labor clings to the false principle of inaugurating strikes in the midst of dull commer cial seasons, passes all understanding. When capital is on a "feather-edge" as to investments; when it is chary of expense bills and sensitive to all the adverse conditions of a dubious mar ket; when the people, the buying pub lic, is wrought to the exacting crux of economy and has no patience for, nor sympathy with, popular move ments of the kind: then it is that strikes are ordered and launched. It seems to us poor policy to "pile on the agony" upon capital and con sumers at times like this and that common sense dictates the expedien cy of choosing a time when the stand ards of success and activity and pros perity are present to act as indices of what the laborer ought to have as his rightful share, of an acknowledged largness, if not surfeit. We have never understood it nor have be seen it -satisfactorily explained. But we recognize it as a fixed policy and deplore it, because it does not appeal to us, as correct in theory or practice. There are a number of im portant strikes now afoot, or about Ho be projected, at the culminating period of a Presidential year, when every condition is diametrically op posed to every hope and claim in corporated in the pleas of the strikers. above the millions of their fellow and the millions of money at stake in the commercial world. The whole thing is false and time will prove it. HOME, OR BELL, WHICH? The good people of Astoria are soon to go up against a business pro blem that will worry them all badly as it has many another North-Western community; the choosing of the telephone they are to use and the company they are to patronize. They may try to straddle the prop osition for awhile by paying heaviU for both instruments and indulging all the confusion incident to the two fold system; or they may settle the thing once for a1! by selecting the conct'n they desire to patronize and making a unanimous choice, to the exclusion of the one or the other of .the companies. Both they are going jto have trouble and before many day's. We have no counsel to offer: it is peculiarly a matter of popular ar rangement, and we have no desire to draw down on our, devoted heads the fuming and fussing and ultimate wrath of our fellows. We shall wait, in amused patience, the outcome of the pretty business scrap and put the responsibility exactly where it be longs. , ; . New Business Venture. Mr. E. G.

NOT MISSOURIANS, BUT-. The press yarn going the rounds, with the tacit sanction of the Asso ciated Pressr that the great railway labor organizations of the country are about to champion the plaint of the transportation companies for in creased revenues, via increased rates and tariffs, anJ will lend themselves, organically,, and determinedly, to a campaign of public education along these lines,UPON THE HYPOTHE SIS, THAT THEY, THE EM PLOYES, WILL SUFFER A RE DUCTION OF THE WAGE SCALES, if the country does not respond- to the demands for the ad vanced charges on all manner of traf fic, is, we believe, an inspired and gi gantic falsehood. That the railway brotherhoods, among the most advanced groups of organized craftsmen in the world, should lend themselves to so piti fully selfish a propoganda as this is inconceiveable, and it will take more than the word of transportation lead ers to impose it upon the American people. And, if we must, in the end, believe this thing, we promise faith fully to do our poor best to thwart both parties to the huge and shame less scheme of exploitation. The truth of the whole railway sit uation in America today reveals the fact that their past year's business has netted them nearly half a billion of surplus profits, after paying every charge against them, including the dividends, and yet they are boldly pleading that they must have more, even if they force up the rates that already operate as sheer robbery. The issues are being swiftly and finely drawn as between the railways and the people, and there is going to be "something doing", especially if such gross subterfuge as the forcing of the hand and interests of their employes, is to be used against the people. But we do not believe this can, or will be done, nor even attempted. The trainmen have alweays shown too high and brave a spirit in their own contests with the companies, in the past, to stoop to so beggarly a level as this. And besides, what are a few hundred thousand railway employes compared 1 Sunday Excursions to Long Beach. Steamer Nahcotta leaves O. R. & N. dock at 6:-i5 a. m. daily.

The Commercial One of the coziest and most popu lar resorts in the city is the Commer cial. A new billiard room, a pleasant sitting room and handsome fixtures all go to make an agreeable meeting place for gentlemen, there to discuss the topics of the day, play a game of billiards and enjoy the fine refresh ments served there.

The Sultan granted a constitution so unexpectedly that the Young Tur key party is unable to say anything nv.rc at nr.'.su than "ibis is so sud den." But even in Turkey a revolu tion can not move backward. Since his retirement from active politics it must be very gratifying to President Roosevelt to be able to ex press an idea without being compell ed to face the old charge of borrow ing or approrpriating Col. Bryan's thunder. The farmers cannot consistently complain of hard times or unremu nerative prices. They are realizing more for their products, and their farms are valued higher, than at any former period within the past eigh tee.i years. Hie surprising news comes .from Constantinople that the Sultan has granted a constitution and called for the election of a Chamber of Depu ties. Russia, Persia and Turkey make a big recent addition to the world's constitution converts. Tt was hardly worth while to try to kill Admiral Roestvensky with a grapevine telegram after the failure of the Japanese to do it in the bif? sea fight where the Russian fleet was knocked to pieces in the course of a bad quarter of an hour or two.

"My father has for years been troubled with diarrhoea, and tried ev ery means possible to effect a cure, without avail," writes John H. Zir kle of Philippi, W. Va. He saw Chamberlain's Cholic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy advertised in the Philippi Republican and decided to try it. The result is one bottle cur ed him and he has not suffered with the disease for eighteen months. Be fore taking this remedy he was a con stant sufferer. He is now sound and well, and although sixty years old, can do as much work as a young man. Sold by Frank Hart and leading druggists. A Faithful Friend. " I have used Chamberlain's colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy since it was first introduced to the public in 1872, and have never found one in stance where a cure was not speedily effected by its use. I have been a commercial traveler for eighteen years, and never start out on a trip without this, my faithful friend," says H. S. Nichols of Oakland, Ind. Ter. When a man has used a remedy for thirty-five years he knows its value and is competent to speak of it. For sale by Frank Hart, druggist. T r fn$m wfrras rm I mm It yi 41 DM $tUUits Sr Sim.
