From out the fine and glowing record made by our beauti ful fleet of wai ships that are "fetch ing a compass' of the earth, but one shadow arises to darken and detract, the paltry weakness of a brilliant offi cer, the captain of the Georgia, Ed ward F. Qnarltnough who at Tangier lapsed to a level he has eschewed for long years, and became conspicuously and offensively drunk, with all that implies in a man in his position. This dreadful habit was his in his youth; and those who know him, who served with, and under him, in those days, remember the hard course of resistance he put up against the evil which only accentuated his splendid capacities and qualities as a man, and officer, are ready to palliate and con done the climax that has overtaken him and (he service, along with the country. The great voyage, now about on its last leg," has been one long succes sion of technical and civic-social achievements, without a single dis astrous or disgraceful thing to mar it, until the news of this untoward incident flashed in upon us; and pro foundly as it will be regretted all over the country, it still has the saving element of a "lesser evil," and will be so construed when the range and multiplicity of graver things that might have happened, are honestly considered. TRUST-BUSTING-TRUSTS. . Gradually, but very surely, the great trusts of the country are awing- ; ing into line and patting up a front ; of brass, arrogant, impregnable, cold : ! . and crushing, against the people, ! i ! i whom they are, as slowly and surely, J driving to the point of ruin and reac- !i ! i tion. It is hard to concieve the limit j I of human patience; but we know that ii . when the liberties, the freedom of the 1 people, are palpably invaded and ab- ! 1 ridged, there will be a merging, a new union, a massing, for intelligent and 11 ; final resistance, that will forever end the supremacy of this modern moloch. i Time, and the ceaseless develop ments in human progress, of which the trust itself is one of the last, and best, exhibits (best, in that it will eventually work its own undoing), may be relied on to bring the change , , and crisis that shall rid us forever of the incubus, and set up the fresher and healthier programs of commer ' cial intercourse and relation. , Leave it to the trusts; give them the largest license possible; don't hamper them, nor deny them; the world has wasted brains.' and time ii and money in fighting them, and they have risen tmmeasureably, despite it all; reverse the tactics and give them the rope that shall ultimately hang them. This seems to be the only way out of the muddle. nr -ttr4- i HARMONY IN YOUR NEW HOME Color blending of Furniture, Draperies, Carpets, Woodwork, WaJls, make home life happier.

Furniture and Carpets PORTLAND. OREGON S!r,gi Rooms turniihtJ Tastefully PORTLANDIZING OREGON. Every commercial community of importance has its peculiar keynote of business; its plane of thought and action upon which the larger affairs and interests are disposed and per fected. For instance, Portland clings frantically to the predicate" If you will not do business in, or through Portland, take it out of the State; we don't want it!"; and again, Astoria, Salem, The Dalles, Eugene, less sel fish, and with aspirations for the State at large, say "Bring your busi ness to us, if you can; but if you cannot, keep it in the State, anyway; we don't care where you take it, so long at it innures to Oregon " Thus Astoria speaks of the grain- shipping interests of the State and of the Inland Empire. Keep the ships, and the shipments, and the business generally, within the State of Ore gon; do the business at any port on the Columbia, or on the coast, you will, but see that it comes to Oregon. We cannot Portlandize the State, in tensely and unremittingly as the metropolis is working to that end; there are other people and interests to be sustained and placated all over the State, and proud as we are of Portland and her splendid growth and influence, Oregon still towers overwhelmingly above and beyond her, in the deeper concern of the people. We of Astoria do not care a hang where the ships are loaded out of Oregon, so long as they come to the ports of the commonwealth; but, be cause ot me tact mat tne govern ment will not dredge 112 miles of river channel, from Cape Disappoint ment to South Portland, we need not lose the grain trade of the Columbia to Puget Sound! Open the sea-gates of the State, from the Columbia to Rogue River, first; especially the greatest of them all, the Columbia; then let the ships go where they will, and fetch, and take, all they may; it makes no dif ference to us, save that we want Oregon to have and hold her own in this tremendous and valuable busi ness. The deepening of the Colum bia bar is the greatest desideratum in this issue; it far transcends the vogue of Portlandizing Oregon and fairly matches the ampler project of Ore gonizing Portland! WING SHOTS. The vicious ignoramus who breaks a glass in a fire alarm box and de liberately calls out the fire depart ment just to see the horses run, should, when he is caught, be sub jected to the utmost rigor of whatso ever law can be construed as a means of punishing him, and then cast out of the community as a dangerous and meddling imbecile. The war-agitators down in the Golden State are being given to un derstand that there is one President, at least, who will not stand for their vagaries, and that there are other States in this Union besides their own. They may have their just causes of . complaint against the local Japanese, but they owe something to the nation in the course they adopt to gain redress! Strange that one mere weakling can shame a great service and a great nation in the inauspicious indulgence of the hour,- as did the captain of the Georgia, at Tangier, the other day! Forakcr, as Senator from Arizona will not amend, nor lay, the memories of his laches as Senator from Ohio. He had better seek the oblivion of full retirement, than take this cheap and shallow route to very questionable preferment. Smith, of Marion, wants candidates from office to draw Tots for their re spective places on the Australian bal lot. That ill not aid the people in drawing lots of incompetents, and Hue M Farewell Party. Mrs. Albert Dunbar entertained on Monday afternoon at farewell party m honor of Mrs. E. Z. Ferguson who will leave on or about March 1st to reside in Portland. Many ladies who were classmates at the public school together with Mrs. Ferguson received invitations and each appeared during the social time in the dress and char acter of a school girl in short dresses and pig-tails. Miss Dora Badolett acted as the school teacher and there were classes and spellings down, the invitations that were issued read as follows: Mina Sherman Dunbar wishes to announce that she will hold school, Monday, February the 1st, from 3 to 6. Your prompt attendance is requested to bid adieu to Josephine Vance Brice Ferguson. Mrs. Dunbar opened the school promptly at 3 and Mrs. Dunbar made an address to the pupils and Miss Badollet took charge of the class. Those present when roll was called were Jennie Crang. Ada M- Hobson, Maude E- Hobson. Laura May Sherman, Ada Ferguson, Etta Hobson, Joe Vance Brice,; Maude Lefarrans. Grace Carruthers, Kate Nichols. Lillian Crosby, Jean Wick. Mina Sherman, Zoe Carruth ers. Georcia Badollet. Those absent were Ella Brice, Winifred Crang losie Cloueh. Ella Pope, Rosetta Sherman, Daisy Goodell, Annie Pope. Maggie Gilbert. Recess was held at the close of the school session and during recess lunch was served, each scholar having her own lunch basket. Miss Badollet examined the scholars' papers and Laura May Sherman re ceived the diplomat. Mrs. Dunbar's home was decorated with school charts, ttlobes, blackboards, etc., the colors were of yellow and green. The program presented to each contained a list of studies with hand-painted de signs. Ladies' Aid Society. Mrs. Munson and Miss Clara C Munson of Warrenton entertained the Ladies Aid Society at her pretty home on Wednesday afternoon. The ladies amused themselves in the usual way conversation anil music helping the guests to pass a pleasant after noon. The ladies presented Mrs. Rahbar, a-member of the Aid Society, who is soon to leave Warrenton, with a handsome hand-painted china fruit dish during the afternoon and a delic ious lunch was served which was a treat to all present. Several inter esting addresses were made by differ ent ladies, members of the club and the afternoon's entertainment was strictly "high class", everything being on stilts owing to the recent floods which have been ruining all the house hold goods in the City of Warrenton. Those who enjoyed Miss Mnnson's hospitality were Mesdames Barnhart, Rogers, Preston, Lester Culver, Smiley, Duncliffe, Morast, Harmon, Smith, Rathbar, and the Misses Hos tetter and Miss Ellis. We notice that the sale of Warren ton lots goes steadily on, while the waters come "steadily on" through the breaks in the dikes that are sup posed to protect them. There is a concert of protest arising down that way on this score. Brilliant players, and sweet singers, have played and sang to no purpose lately in little old Astoria. The youngsters would rather dance the oldsters are worn out with the rain; and the moving-pictures still move! Forty new pupils at the High School and no quarters for them. This indicates an over-weening access of education, or a bit of short-sightedness somewhere in the manage ment of affairs. We must deprecate the former conclusion, badly as we dislike to the alternative inference. That $175,000 for a public building and site at Astoria, now under con sideration in Congress at the instance of Senator C. W. Fulton, may be the key that will unlock the fool-combination now holding up land values in this city and give impetus to a long desired activity in this line when it comes. Year by year and' day by day the list of Oregon pioners is dwindling, and must soon be supplanted by the near pioneers they have left to keep alive the honor and credit of the Beaver State. Subscribe to the Morning Astorian, I Mil ! House Warming. On Monday evening the home of Rev. and Mrs. G. E. Kyd.iiist, at 744 Franklin avenue, was imaded by sev eral scores of ladies member of the Memorial Lutheran chinch, who went there laden with a large washbaskct which was crammed with household goods, gifts of goodwill and things to eat. It was one ot the old-time genuine surprise parties which every one enjoys, and was rich with happy incident and generous expression, all confirmatory of the abounding appre ciation felt by these parishioners for the excellent couple at the head of their church organisation. Mr. and Mrs. Rydquist were taken absolutely unaware and for a time scarcely knew how to meet the gracious occasion, but they soon Yallied to the demands of the pleasant hour and made it doubly pleasant for all concerned The visitors even left the basket. Life's current of frivolities has rippled and eddied the last week over many pleasant places, programs and assemblies; there were few unoccu pied hour for society during the last week, and nearly every day that passed had an interesting event. There will be a round of entertaining until the Lenten season begins, then will come the usual lull in social ac tivity. The charming brides-elect this season arc claiming much social attention and during the month many numerous affair) wil! be given in hon or of several girls of this city who are soon to become brides.

A. A. A. Club a success. Recital No. 2. The recital given on Friday evening by the Misses Erma and Evelyn F.wart was fairly well attended.

Dr. Enna was as sisted by Miss Laurie McCann and several beautiful selections was ren dered. Aid Society. Mrs. John Fuhrman entertained the members of the Ladies' Aid So ciety of the Memorial Lutheran church on Thursday afternoon.
