IN STATU QUO.
The Governors of Oregon and
Washington; the Master Fish War
dens, and the Attorneys-General, of
both States, have met and conferred
and the fisheries of the Columbia riv
er are still saddled with the disagree
able problem that has arisen by the
application of the new Oregon laws,
and with the inseparable irritation in
cident to the situation.
Governor Chamberlin's attitude,
while it has the savor of aggressive
ness, is beyond question, right so far
as precedent, law and equity can
make it right; and while everyone
wishes there was some way to har
monize the contentions now upper
most, the law in the case as under
stood and promulgated from this
shore, must operate until such time
as a higher intervening mandate
abates its force and application; and
in the interim, while the nice issues
now pending are being resolved to
some exact and equ'table basis for
the regulation of the fisheries, by the
court of last resort, the fishermen,
canners, trappers, wheelmen and sein
ers, are likely to make the most of
an ungoverned condition and reap
another big harvest of fish.
We hope to see the matter brought
to a speedy and equitable footing,
npon which all matters and men
figuring large, and small, in the busi
ness, may carry it on without further
hitch, loss, discomfort or dispute, to
the end of time itself.
should be employed to carry out his
designs he simply, in a general way,
wants to destroy the so-called trusts,
both large and small, regardless of
the consequences to others engaged
in similar business or of the consum
ing public. He tells us one day that
the American people should be al
lowed to purchase where they can
buy the cheapest, and another day he
tells us that the money from the pock
ets of the people is flowing into the
coffers of the trusts. If the latter be
true, it must be because the people
are buying where they buy the
cheapest, and if the trust-made goods
are the cheapest, then they serve the
consumer rather than injure him. Mr,
Bryan simply does not know what a
trust is. Mr. Bryan does not know
how to handle financial problems, in
dustrial problems or even political
problems. We have on our statute
books today law3 providing for the
machinery to punish-any illegitimate
business and to remedy any inequali
ties or injustice. Mr. Bryan has not
put forth any views showing how to
improve present methods.
The difference between Taft and
Bryan is that between proved states
manship and a railing stump speech.
CANNOT SPARE IT.
"The Sunday morning fire which
practically destroyed the plant of the
Astoria Lumber Company, was .a
blow to the city as well as to its
own interested people; because it
reduces the active industries of the
community by one, and we cannot
spare any of .them, no matter its
scope or capital; they all stand for
the business life of the city and sec
tion and have their place and intrinsic
plane. - -
We, with other people hereabout,
deeply regret the loss, private, and
public, and hope at an early day the
plant and business will be restored
to even greater activity and business
success than it has known in the past.
While we are on the subject, it may
not be amiss to again urge the estab
lishment of a fire station in Union
town. The weight of comment there
all of Sunday last, was along this
line and it would evidently be sharply ,
appreciated by the good people with
homes and businesses there, if they
were given their own piece of appara
tus and even meagre paid help in the
handling of it, until such time as con
ditions warrant a full ' and regular
establishment.
Astoria has one of the best depart
ments in the State, and its chief and
men and horses do all that is within
possible range of their ability, and
stations, to handle long-distance calls
with despatch; and they did not fail
at a single point in this engagement
but an outfit on the ground might
at least have held things in check
till ampler help made all safe. This is
but a friendly suggestion inspired by
the quality of expression current at
the scene of the fire on Sunday last,
The presidential campaign of 1908
can be identified in future history as
the great season for baseball enthusiasm.
Colonel Bryan wishes, no doubt,
that he could sue out an injunction
to prevent Mr. Taft from sepaking in
the Middle West.
The best way to boom Missouri for
the next four years, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, is to elect
Hadley governor and back him up
with a Republican Legislature.
Young Thaw stands at the head
of the brain-storm artists. He causes
just as much trouble inside the asy
lum as he caused outside.
How To Get Strong.
P. J. Daly, of 1247 W. Congress St,
Chicago, tells of a way to become
strong. He says: "My mother, who
is old and was very feeble, is deriving
so much benefit from Electric Bitters,
that I feel it's my duty to tell those
who need a tonic and strengthening
medicine about it. In my mother's
case, a marked gain in flesh has re
sulted, insomnia has been overcome
and she is steady growing stronger."
Electric Bitters quickly remedy stom
ach, liver and kidney complaints. Sold

toms of hay fever, and a doctor's
prescription did not reach my case,
and I took several medicines which
seemed to only aggravate my case.
Fortunately I insisted upon having
Foley's Honey and. Tar in the yellow
package, and it quickly cured nie. My
wife has since used Foley's Honey
and Tar with the $ame success." T.

New York News Letter
NEW YORK, Sept. 14. Facing a sake, the use of these murderous tro
phies on the head gear of the fair
New Yorker has been noticeably de
creased. The novel show case at the
museum is pointing the tale which the
Audubon workers are trying to tell
to all womankind.
ARRESTED AFFINITY.
With the originator of the affinity
fad languishing in a suburban jail on
a charge of beating his new soul mate,
all Gotham is ready to-day to close
the conspicuous public incident in
which Artist Earle has held himself
up to popular notice and condemnation-
Men of the ilk of Earle have
for years exploited various brands of
socialism and communism about this
town with small following and great
harm to the common ideals of home
life. No one is sorry that this sad
story, to which too much attention
was called at its start, has finished in
this ignominious fashion. With youn
ger New York intent on the exploita
tion which is always given to such
freak fads in the papers, no greater
good could come than this final show
ing up of the Earle experiment
CLOSED CAREER.
Now that Jerome has finally pro
cured a coat of whitewash at the hands
of the governor's examiner it is gen
erally believed that he will be allowed
to have a decent burial from public
life. Even the best friends of the once
conspicuous district attorney admit
to-day that, his days arc numbered as
a public official and no one has even
suggested him as a candidate for any
thing further but private practise.
Five years from now the name of Je
rome will be forgotten, the veteran
politicians declare, and the achieve
ments as well as the mistakes of this
militant man will go down into ab-
nturder trial which promises no fewer
sensations than that of Thaw, the
New York public is to-day being
lashed up to the point of interest by
the usual ministrations of a corps of
frenzied newspaper writers and pho
tographers. No stone has been left
unturned by these professional sen
sationalists to make the preliminary
horrors of the trial of the Mains trag
edy as tempting as possible to the
popular palate. Both sides in the
impending legal battle for the broth
ers' life are to-day frantically pushing
the trial of their case in the yellow
press for its possible effect on the
welve jurors who must eventually
render the verdict. Startling as are
many of the features of this latest
story of marital tragedy," however, it
does not appeaV to-day that its official
airing will rouse such public interest
as that which hung on the first Thaw
trial. '
WOMEN'S WAYS.
Crowding ceaselessly about an or
nate exhibition case which has just
been installed up at the natural his
tory museum, smartly costumed wom
en are to-day seeing an object lesson!
in one of the barbarous features of
fashion. Under a brilliant light many
thousands of dollars worth of scalps
from butchered birds of paradise are
displayed as relics of a race, now ra
pidly being exterminated by the
world's army of plume hunters. That
women's ways are responsible for
making this collection of the once
thriving breed of birds an expensive
rarity is plainly stated on a placard
over which the ladies must Dena.
Since the National Association of Au
dubon Societies has waged war on
the bird butchers, who scour the

BRYAN HIMSELF AGAIN.
Mr. Bryan, who started out very
conservatively at the opening of the
campaign, resolving evidently to get
the confidence of certain editors and
business men who could not stand
his aforetime radicalism, has broken
through the traces and given up try
ing to be good. His speech on the
trusts at Indianapolis puts him back
in his old positron of advocating
the destruction of anything that does
not meet his views, without regard to
method or consequences. As usual,
he is not specific as to what means

Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
Makes The Latest Record.
CHICAGO Sept. 14.-Twelve per
sons were injured, four of them so
seriously that they are expected to
die in a wreck on the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern R. R. at Chester
ton, Ind., shortly after midnight last
night. A suburban train from Chica
go leaving here at 11:20, crashed into
the rear end of an excursion train
bound for Indianapolis from Chicago,
over the Lake Erie and Western,
while the latter was standing at the
station. The rear car of the excur
sion train was badly wrecked. The
suburban train was slowing down to
stop at the station and was not run
ning at a high rate of speed. None of
its cars left the track. The injured'
were taken to the office of a local
physician and their injuries cared for.
One woman was said to have been fa

comotive badly crushed. The others'
were caught in the wreckage of the
cars. The collision was due to a hea-
