CHAMBERLAIN
George E. Chamberlain has out
generalled the Republican party of
Oregon and iti 30,000 major voters.
He has taken the United States Sena
torsbip from under their very noses
and is. today, the political dictator
of the commonwealth. This is the
substance of the work done at the
capital yesterday. With seven more
votes than he needed, and upon the
first ballot cast, he attained to the am
bition of his life,- in the face of every
scintilla of resistance that could be
offered. There is a tremendous les
son in this.
The profound fact confronting the
Republicans of Oregon is that the
people have ceased to trust the lead
ers that are posing at present and
have determined to oast them and
await the reorganization of the party
nnder cleverer and cleaner auspices;
they have watched the party sacrifice
its principles and people, time and
gain, and have wearied of it and
have put the ban of their disapproval
on the whole machine in such conclu
sive fashion as to preclude an early
resumption of its major prestige and
administrative influence, until it shall
be ' marshalled under the canse and
call that inspire faith and justify
coalition. .
Factional jealousies all over Re
oublican Oreeon are. primarily, to
Wame for the fearful slump; but rath-j
er more, are the vicious extremes to!
which these factions have gone in
their several efforts to disparage and
defeat each other, at the root of the
shameful disaster. There is no other
accounting for the reaction.
It is up to Oregon Republicans to
gradually clarify their own partisan
atmosphere, clean their own skirts,
merge their interests and remember
their State before they hunt for pa
tronage; do those things that make
for party interests first and let the in
dividual "go hang" until its own real
strength, high purpose, and destined
function, are triumphant in the popu
lar conception and sanction.
TIME, AND JUDGMENT.
The initial business meeting of the
Astoria Common Council in its new
grouping on Monday night last was
very successful and yielded some in
dications of business tone and pur
pose that promise much if adhered to
during the year. Mayor Smith s con
struction of the committee function
was clever and timely and sensible.
There has been wide complaint of the
arrogance and assumption, in the
past, of certain chairmen, in the hand
ling of committee affairs, and his in-
sistance that all members, of a com
mittee shall exercise right and judg
ment in the disposition of matters
entrusted to them, is a keynote of
amendment that will be gratefully
received.
Another feature that invites friend
ly comment and concern is the evi
dent purpose of this council not to
rush things. Ordinances, no matter
what their significance, are the laws
of the people in this civic division of
government, and are entitled to be
fully and carefully considered before
being passed to the records as accept
ed and codified rules of action. There
is no more necessity for speeding
these through the council than for
rushing statutes through the legisla
ture. Only the most extreme emer
gency and urgent need for the specific
control of a new ordinance, tn the in
terest of the public health or safety,
will warrant the third reading of an
ordinance at a single session; or per
haps, the necessity for curing some
grave neglect or threatening laches.
Otherwise, time and judgment, and
deliberation are due and must be giv- j
en, and that the new council takes
this view of the matter is also cause
for approval.
Business is business on Sixteenth
street as well as at any other stand
in all Astoria; and if it is to be done
there on the common, well under
stood, effective bases and rules, the
oeoole will be (ratified, the municipal
ity will be advantaged, and the coun
cil will be commended; three distinct
and desirable ends.
such gratuities after leaving adtoot.
There is no school of observation,
experience, development, and pro
nounced impression like that of travel.
A month' outing, or even less, on
routes never traversed before, with a
master and mistress capable of im
parting the full course of enlighten
ment and general interest, aloug with
a due indulgence in the pleasures in
cident to the itinerary, would be of
incalculable advantage to the children,
and its attainment, each year, upon
given standards of efficiency in their
classes, would become the ideal of the
school career and the choicest mem
ory of a lifetime. The idea is an ad
mirable one and cannot be fostered
too soon. '
MOUNTAIN
PRINCESS.
By JEROME SPRAOlt
Copyrlhtd, 1WS, by AsMStatts
Senator Teller, who is about to re
tire from the Senate, has finally ac
knowledged the superiority of the
gold over the sitver standard. It is
safe to say that he will never lead
another bolt in a national convention.
Six of the night riders in West Ten
nessee have been found guilty of mur-
dr in the first degree and two of mur
der in the second degree. When the
punishment fits the crime the night
riding will end.
'Missouri once considered the Dock
cry wink unrivaled, but it is said that
the new varieties invented in the dry
Southern States are simply bewilder
ing in number and expressiveness.
WHEEZER OR SNEEZER?
Have You Heard of Hyomei For Ca
tarrh. Asthma and Hay Fever?
If you wheeze or sneeze, hawk or
spit, snuffle or blow, something is the
matter with, the membrane of your
respiratory tract, and you need
Hyomei.
And you need Hyomei because it
will cure you of any catarrhal or in
flammatory condition that exists.
It isn't a stomach medicine, or
spray, or douche, but a very pleasant
healing, antiseptic balsam, from the
eucalvotus forests of Australia. You
breathe this balsamic air through a
small, hard rubber inhaler, and it
reaches every nook, corner and crev
ice of the membrane, and promptly
kills the catarrh germs. T. F. Laurin
will sell you a complete Hyomei
(pronounced High-o-me) outfit for
$1.00, on the money back plan.
"The use of Hyomei cured Mr.
Cutler of catarrh in 1904. He has
stronirlv endorsed the use of Hyomei
in many instances, and we are glad
ta ro on record regarding this mar
velous catarrh cure, and endorse it."
Mrs. A. Cutler, 201 Post Ave., Battle
Creek, Mich.

SWINDLING, A FINE ART.
With the United States Government
nursing 23,000 cases of public land
swindling and praying Congress for
a million of money to forward the
necessary prosecutions, it would seem
that this criminal cult is fast assum
ing fine art proportions, or taking its
place in the professional and business
life as a recognized industry ana
acknowledged pursuit. A hundred
Heneys could not cope with such a
situation and the ugly doubt assails
us that the very Government itself is
gravely handicapped in the monstrous
engagement, since there is a sharp
sprinkling of men next and near the
Government and often within its very
circle, influential, unsuspected, to con
tribute to the "sand-throwingT and
other systems for blinding, defeating
and demoralizing Uncle Sam when he
becomes suspicious, inquisitive and
vengeful.
That the country is subject to a
vast scheme of chicane and downright
robberv. no man of the hour with a
grain of intelligence doubts; and the
conviction is closely paralleled with
the reasonable assurance : that the
thieves are "in the saddle" and as
Vife as dishonest money can make
them, a pretty secure position when
one studies the play of money against
the law in this day and age.
A SPLENDID PRIZE.
The idea of sending out traveling
parties of school children, of the
higher grades, is an excellent proposi
tion and in perfect consonance with
the spirit of generosity wherewith
America considers and. aids the
course of public education. So far as
we are concerned we would like to
see the scheme become custom. It
need not be abused, and it need not
be extended to those children whose
Barents are in a position to give this
splendid' advantage to their young
sters after graduation; it may be con
fined to those successful boys and
girls who are not likely to have any

"No," she said; "you-yoa have made

And sometimes it seema to me that 1st

"But when lam alone I think of tbo

that you would have a right to say

Iler eyes were dark with a queer
kind of terror. .
"Poor little wild bird," said Leslie
tenderly; "thay kept yon caged too
long."
He made her sit down beside him
while be ltd the conversation cheer
fully into other channel, and after "a
time he taught her more songs, and
their voices rang out melodiously In
the still October nlr. And all about
them wag trie glory of autumnal col

the mountain side, with a sapphire sky
above.

you wave mo farewell?"
"You go by the river wad?"
"Yes."
"I will bo on my porch," she prom
ised. "You can see me In the moon

He took her hand and for a moment
stood looking down at her. Then be
laid softly; "I shall not try to tell you
how hard It Is for me to go without
lonie hope. Perhaps some day you will
feci differently."
Agnln the frightened look came Into

nfter all, Unit woman Is the freest who
Urea wlthlu the circle of her husband's ,
love."
Hut she shook: her bead. "I cant
feel that way," she murmured. "I
wUU I could."
The next night as Leslie's horse pick,
ed Its way carefully down tht winding
road It reared little when a white
figure came out of the bushes.
I couldu't bear to wave goodby so
far away," the girl faltered as b dis
mounted and stood beside her. Her
face was very pale tn the moonlight,
and her bolr shone tlkt gold. "And
then there la something that I want to
aay."
A light ram luto bis eyes as he
bent over her. "Tell me," he Whis
pered. "I love you," she said simply, but
hook her head at bts eager exclama
tion. "Hut I eaunot marry you -not

"From the ends of the earth," be de
clared. "But If It could ouly be now,
dear heart."
The tears were on her cheeks, "1
can't promise," she sobbed. "Some
thing seems to hold me back. But I
could not let you go without telling
you that I fared."
All that winter Leslie waited for his
summons, so secure wss he in her ulti
mate need of hlin. But the winter
passed and the spring, snd the sum
mer came again snd the fall, and once
more the woods were red and gold and
irreen, and still he had heard nothing
from her.
And one dsy be said to hluiMlf: "I
must go to her. Surely If she loves
me she will say 'Yea." "
It was raining as he ascended the
mountain, and the leaves were sodden
under the horse's feet. Fear seemed to
rlntcb st his heart as he came to the
bungalow, where a single spot of light
hone out through the gathering dark
newi. He crept to the window and gated
In and saw her sitting before her big
fire alone, a little wasted figure In a
white gown.
It seemed as If bis heart stopped
beating as he hurried throuRh the ball
and came Into the room where she sst
"Dear," he said, and she stood up,
with a little cry. and then bis srms
were about her. and she wss sobbing
wildly.
"Then why didn't you send for mer
he demanded.
"Because I couldn't ask you to marry
me when I was 111 and ugly, when I
would not when I wna well, could IT
abe asked. "I took cold last winter,
and then there was pneumonia, and
now they keep me shut In. All sum
mer snd all the spring and fan I bars
watched from the windows, I knew if
you came you would set me free, but I
couldn't write and burden you with
my woes."
"In sickness and In health," he quot
ed -"Isn't that what they aay In the
marriage service, dear? And now lis
ten. You are to get well at once, Ws
will go to the deaert, and we will live
In the sunshine, and we will start to
morrow." She smiled up at him. "How good It
Rectus," she said, "to hear you say It so
masterfully! If you knew bow I have
longed for some one to carry me off."
And a month later as she sat tn front
of her tent on the dry plain and the
wind ruffled her hair snd brought the
pink of returning health to her cheeks
her husband snld, "Bo the little wild
bird came back to her cnge."
She shook her head and reached out
her band to him. "Ah, no," she said,
and her voice thrilled with the won
der of her happiness. "Ah, no, but the
little wild bird found her mate."
