THE WEATHER

GOVERNOR COSGROVE
Ia spite of the fact that Samuel G.
Cosgrove, Governor of Washington,
had been a dangerously sick man for
many months, and that he was the
victim of one of the accepted incur
able maladies, his death comes as a
shock to the people of the great
Northwest where his name and work
are buildcd in on the rugged face of
the record this section is making in
the book of progress. He was so
sanguine himself, so plucky, and am
bitious to be and do and score some
thing among his fellows, that the
hope was begotten, that even in the
certainty of the inevitable, something
might occur to give him leeway and
make it possible for him to serve his
people. -
All the country rejoices that he was
permitted to live until he received
the crowning honor of his life, until
he reached the summit of his personal
and professional ambition. He died
as Governor of his State, though it is
of the Northwest; she is far more at
tractive than any of the coast resorts
within 250 miles of her boundaries;
and nothing should be left undone to
make her notable for the charm she
boasts; especially where the duty de
volves upon her own people to main
tain and manifest the record.
The "unwritten law" seems to hold
its own against all other codes in the
country. Hut why must the man be
always the victim of its implacable
reprisal? The twentieth-century wo
man should be held accountable for
something of responsibility in these
fearful affairs! Many a man goes to
his death, on this score, for the smile
of a wanton, the lure of a woman who
should never have been wife nor
mother. The sex-law seems to tran
scend even the grim sanctity of the
code that is not written.
THE UBIQUITOUS CRANK.
The crank we have with us always!
His latest appearance was on board
the liner Hamburg in mid-ocean; his
latest assignment (?) was the killing
of ex-President Theodore Roosevelt;
his inspiration is unguessable, as yet'
But he is with us, alright; we cannot
escape him, ashore, nor afloat; and
the only relief to be had is that he
shall be duly executed, confined, or
put in physical restraint of some sort
There is something pitiful in the
fact that he is always, and eternally,
an alien. Always he is some poor
wretch from an oppressed land, who
has borne the weight of centuries of
concentrated and vicious oppression,
in comparison with which the social
ills of this land are as nothing; and
whose mind, diseased and contorted
by the vengeful venom of generations,
must find some outlet for its disorder
ed spleen and takes the first and most
very doubtful if he would have been j prominent figure hit eye and hand
honored any less had he died a priv
ate citizen; but he wanted to be Gov
ernor of Washington and the people
wanted him, and nature withheld her
hand a few weeks until the honest
longing of the one, and the prideful
consent of the many, might be achiev
ed. It is believed that had be lived out his
administration he would have become
one of the foremost men of his rank
in the country; for he cherished very
high ideals and possessed the calm,
courageous faculties- for carrying
them out His was a strong, clean,
helpful nature that always asserted
itself on the side of genuine and pro
gressive movements and lent its own
energy to the fulflment of the best
plans and predicates of civic life and i
society. His death is a misfortune, I
not alone to his State, but to the coun
try.
SUMMER-DRESS THE CITY
This is the accepted time for put
ting Astoria in clean, healthful and
attractive shape for the glad summer
time.' She needs a very thorough
overhauling in many ways; her build
ings need painting; her sidewalks are
crying out for repairs; her yards and
gardens and parks and squares are de
mandng care and clearance; her docks
and warehouses want a good deal of
attention including a lot of whitewash
and paint; her water-face needs a
combing to rid it of the hideous
growth of black and broken piling;
lier streets need cleaning and fixing
up, and things want straightening up,
digging-out, and putting-in, and all
the touches of interest that conserve
the order and beauty of a community
after a long and dismal winter when
things are permitted to run at hazard.
(All exceptions noted).
Astoria is one of the beauty-spots
can reach. He is one of the burdens
of civilization as we know it today,
and, perhaps, the very worst expres
sion of the imperfection of that civil
ization. We wish these misguided, unhappy
folk could understand, however, that
Mr. Roosevelt, it one of the latest,
best and happiest examples we pos
sess, of the new and healthful democ
racy of thought and action in this
country, and that his death would be
the worst possible blow to the cause
of human freedom and civic up-life
that could be dealt the people of
this land: there are thousand of
others in power, and out of it
governmen tally speaking, who might
more logically come under the insane
fiat of the foreign crank, if there must
be a killing, but he is not of them; he
has done more to lighten the burdens
of the poor man in this country than
any man since the day of Lincoln, and
the people of America have further
use for him in the high places and ex
alted tasks yet to be performed in the
name of a free people
Keep your hands off such Ameri
cans as Theodore Roosevelt, or the
people will find a way to make it im
possible for the alien to live in peace
in this country; and that is what the
alien is supposed to have come here
for, peace, and oportunity ,and the
right to live rightly.
The month of March has developed
a multitude of actors and actresses in
this city who never knew, before,
what real talents they possessed.
Astoria is going to have that new
hotel no matter what she has o do
to get it. It is worh many various
efforts and some sacrifices.
There may have been a body at
tached to that head that was seen
floating in Young's Bay last Sunday.
That it was a woman's face and head
and hair adds interest to the story and
if extreme care is not taken by the
authorities, in the case, something of
tragic interest may develope in the
matter. An officer and a launch
should have been despatched to the
scene of the discovery when the thing
was reported by Mr. and Mrs. Badal
let; their information was entitled to
more consideration than was given it.
HI ARISES III
CONSTITUTION IS MODELED
GREATLY AFTER THE ONE
IN THE UNITED STATES
NEWS AND NOTES OF SPORT
LONDON", March JO.-The new
South African Commonwealth is
soon to become an accomplished fact.
Today, according to cable dispatches
from Cape Town, the parliaments of
Cape Colony, the Transvaal, Natal
and the Orange River Colony will
take action on the constitution re
cently formulated by a special body
of representatives. Next June the
union convention again will meet
to put the finishing touches to the
plan of government, which then will
be brought to London for imperial
approval and for the Kings signature.
Indications are that the new gov
ernment will be strongly centralized.
It will follow the Canadian rather
than the American or Australian plan
in reserving all powers not specially
lclegated to the provinces. Tract!
cally alt the interests and affairs of
J the provinces are placed in the hands
of a central parliament, the purely
local and administrative business of
each province only being in the hands
of a provincial council, which also is
subject finally to the authority of the
central parliament. This plan is
radical departure from the methods
of the home country and of the other
colonial federations, and was decided
upon evidently' with a view to avoid
ing the confusions, the contraditions
d at any time by a two-thirds vote
of the assembly and senate in joint
session. Both English and Dutch are
nmdo official languages. All laws
and documents tire to be published
in each alike, mid cither mny be used
in debutes or court proceedings.
The parliament will meet in the as
sembly building at Cape Town. The
government officers arc to be at Pre
toria, the capital of the Transvaal,
while the supreme court and other
high courts will be established in the
chief city of the Orange River Col
ony, Hlocmfontcin. Tho railroads.
seaports, etc., arc to be managed by
a commission at cost, nnd foreign
commerce is to be apportioned; the
Transvaal, through Dclngoa Buy,
getting 50 per cent, Natul 30 and
Cape Colony 20.

The A. & C. has made a direct cut
in its local fares in and out of Astoria
of form ,10 td 20 per cent, which, while
it may not, upon the face of things,
seem to be an extraordinary conces

of the same sort would have been pro

Mr. Harriman's ambition to merge
the railways of the nation into one

but it bears the ear-marks of an inter

the people are sickening, what, in the

ed by the booze-courage of a lot of
spineless and sodden nigger-derelicts,
in the game of war!. The sentimen

The principle of equality in the
upper house, as in the United States
Senate, is applied in the South Af
rican constitution, but not complete
ly. Each of the four provinces
chooses eight senators through the
vote of its provincial council and its
members of the assembly, or lower
house, and to these are added eight
senators nominated by the Governor
Genral in Council. The member- of
the house of assembly are chosen by
the provinces substantially according
to the adult male European popula
tion. The natives who now have the
vote are not to be deprived of it, but
none can attain it in the future, and
they are not eligible to the parlia
ment. The constitution is necessarily in
the form of an act of the British Par
liament, but amendments to some of
its provisions may at any time' be
made by the parliament of South Af
rica, and any of them may be chang-

long time I felt weak, tired and de
pressed, and would arise in the
morning so lame and stiff that I was
hardly able to perform my house

at times I would suffer so intensely
that I would be forced to lie down.
The kidney secretions were unnatural
and gave me much annoyance. I
finally learned of Doan's Kidney Pills

their use were satisfactory and I
