Woman Suffrage In Idaho.
The more enthuisastic advocate»
of women suffrage seem to clain.
that when women shall have beet
given the right to vote, m >st if not
all, the evils of politics will speed
ily disappear, says William E
Borah, United States senator iron
Idaho, in the Delinator. The mon
earnest and distressed opponents
of women suffrage, on the othe
hand, insists that to extend tin
right of suffrage to woman, an«
thus beguile her into politics,
would demoralize the home, giv<
us coarse and mannish women, an«
perhaps disturb domesti«- tran<|uil-
ity, besides many minor evils 1«
follow. As usual, the truth is to lx
found in the temperate tone which
lies broad and tranquil between the
extremes.
Woman suffrage will not eradicate
all tits evils of politics or guard
wholly against all mistakes of gov
eminent, but it will tend in that
direction. Whatever is accomplished
will be for the good and not the bad
in politics. It will not make women
less relined or less womanly. In
fact, 1 think a seaaoniible “mud
bath” of politics would perhaps
have a cleansing and elevating in
fluence upon the social cafe life
which prevails to such an extent in
some of our social centers.
Idaho extended to her woman the
right to vote in the early days of
her statehood. We do not become
nt allj excited over the effect < I
woman suffrage in our state. But
we do declare it to be our deliberate
judgment that her presence ill
politics, armed with power to en-
fcive her demuml, han been sub
stantially and distinctively for the
benefit of politics and society. 11
lindnide«! materially in the securing
of better laws along particular lines;
especially lias it temle«! to cleanei
politics in particular and essential
matters. Our women have not al
ways been no active in polities as
they should be, but it has been ob
served til it when a moral question
is up for consideration the majorit)
vote of the women has been a power
upon the right side.
practically one profe «ion.
Kxet>
should it be incomparably the beet,
in general, it is by no means neces
sarily the beet, or even good at all,
for every individual. Men are to
■>e heard saying : “A woman ought
to be a wife and mother.” For
nost women, this is the sphere in
which their characteristic poten-
les will find best ami most useful
•xpression, both forself and others;
out that is very different from say
ing that every woman ought to be
i mother; or that no woman ought
to be a surgeon. We may prefer
the material to the surgical type;
«nd there may be good reason for
jur preference; but the surgeon
-nay be very useful, and useful or
lot, the question is not one of
«tight. Thoughtful people should
enow better than to make this con-
dant confusion between what ought
o be and what is.
Let us hold to our ideals, let us
by all means have our scale of
/allies; but the first question in
<uch a case as this is as to what Is.
In point of fact all women are not
,f the same type; and our expres-
,ion of what ought to be is none
ither than the passing of a censure
ipon Nature for her deeds.
We
nay know better than she, or, as
las happened, we may know worse.

The statistics show that all of the

Under the biblical theory that
“by their fruits ye shall know

said to be the Elberta peach of the
Taft administration.
A new comet has been discovered

A few lines are given to the fact
that an aviator has crossed the

In the last census the apple pro

It is urged against Gov. Hughes
tuat he lias not had sufficient ex
perience for the high office of chief
justice of the Supreme Court. But
he made a good governor withcu
any previous experience.
Secretary Ballinger tells the peo
ple of the Pacific Coast that the
coal of Alaska will not be locked

by the fact that speculators have

In u theoretical army test in

Share of Women.
It has long been asserted that
woman is less variable than man ;
but the certainty of that statement
han lately lost its edge. It in pro
bably untrue.
There in no real
reason to nuppone that woman is
lean complex or less variable than
man. She han the name title as he
han to these conditions in which het
particular
cliaru« tern,
whatevei
they tie. shall find their most com
plete and fruitful development.
There is no more a single ideal
t) pe of woman than there is a «in
gle type of num. It takes all sorts
even to make a sex. it han been in
the ‘past ami always must tie, a
piece of gross presumption on
man's part Io sny to woman. “Thus
shall thou be, and no other.”
" horn Nature has made different,
man lias no business to u ake oi
even to desire similar. The world
wants all the |«owers of all the in

On tli«- other hand, no g«*od can

“.'velopment of those |H>wers or to 1
■eek conformity to any type. Much ’

from the liuiitatiou of aumen to
Astoria’s Fifteenth Annual
Regatta.
Astoria’s Fifteenth Annual Re
gatta wili;t«e the biggest boat racing
event ever held on the Pacific Coast.
The free-for-all Pacific Coast
Championship Mortor Boat race
for a purse of $1000.00 will be the
biggest morter boat race ever seen
on the Pacific Coast. The entries
at the present time are the “Seattle
Spirit,” the "Fighting Bob III” of
Sacramento, the “Wolff 11” of Port
land, Oregon, the “Pacer I” of
Portland, Oregon, and a fast boat
propelled by steam, from Portland,
whose name we do not know. Also
a boat from Astoria which is about
ready to put in the water and which
has not yet been named, but from
which we expect a good showing.
This race will be over a twenty mile
course, in three heats, one each day,
the best two out of three winning
the race.
The 32 ft. class will also have
about five contestants representing
the fastest boats from Oregon,
Washington, and California and
will also be run in three heats.
The 20 ft. class will have probably
tile greatest number of entries. It is
probable at the present time tlifere
will be eight or ten boats in this
race. The “Happy Reins” of Rain
ier, the “Potato Bag” and "Spear”
of Portland, the “Ethel” of Cashl-
ment, the “Wigwam” of Astoria,
and a number of other boats whose
names we are not able at this time
to ascertain.
Probably the race with the most
entrie will be the handicap race
which will admit boats from all
these of the above classes.
We have been very fortunate this
year in securing the services of
some very competent gas engine
men to take charge of the handicap
ping, and this undoubtedly will be
one of the most interesting races
held during the Regatta.
We are giving more money this
yeur lor the fish boats to be at the
races than liefore and expect to make
a special feature of thia class oi
boats, both sailing and motor, anfl
from the present indications then:
will be a larger number of entries
than ever beiore.
One of the great features of tlife
Regatta will be the swimming
events which will be held in trout
of the grandstand each day of the
Regatta. In the afternoon Professor
Cavillof Australia, one of the finest
swimmers in the world, will have
personal charge of these exhibitions.
He will be assisted by some of the
best swimmers on the Pacific Coast.
He expects also to have his niece
and nephew from Australia here to
assist in the events, and it is under
stood that they are children four
and five years old, and the Pro
fessor says that they will dive from
a high ot 40 ft. into the river un
assisted. Medals and cups will be
awarded for the swimming events.
U nder this head will come log
•oiling, greased pole, tub racing
and those other exhibitions which
are so comical and help fill the
time during the races.
Music has been provided in abun
dance, Professor McElroy’s Mili
tary Band of 25 pieces will play dur
ing the day and evenings.
On Tuesday night, August 30th,
will be held the big marine parade,
which is an event of unusual inter
est, consisting of probably 100
boats illuminuted with electric
lights and Chinese lanterns, dis
charging fireworks and parading
up and down the harbor. Liberal
prizes will tie paid for the best dec
orated crafts in this parade. Fire
works will lie furnished by the com
mittee for the different boats.
Admiral Robinson has selected
his staff, which consists of many
prominent men all over the state,
as well as some from Washington
and California. Tney will come
from Portland to Astoria in a spec
ial boat provided for their benefit.
The Committee this year are giv
ing away in cash prizes alone, the
sum of $5000.00 for the water events,
which will insure a large number
of entries in every class of racing
craft.
The Portland Motor Boat Club
are making arrangements to attend
in a body, coming from Portland
with their entire fleet. They will
be met at Rainier by the Astoria
Motor Boat Club and conducted to
the city.
The Oregon Yacht Club are also
making extensive plans for attend
ing the Regatta. It is impossible
to ascertain at the present time,
how many of their sailing boats
will be present.
Another feature that is attracting
wide interest will be the Dinghy
Club from Portland, which consists
of a class of very small sail boats,
and there has been keen rivalry in
their club this season over races
held on the Willamette River and all
are anxious to try conclusions at
Astoria during the Regatta.
Sizing the situation up at the
present time, we think there is no
doubt that this will be by far the
biggest boat racing event ever held
on the Pacific Coast. Nearly all of
the motor boats clubs from Van
couver, B. C. to San Francisco will
have members in attendance.
Esopus, N. Y., after a long subsi
dence since 19)4, comes to the front
now as the site of a bungalow col-
< r.y. And It looks better in that
guise than when it was presented
to us as the home of a candidate
for the presidency.
A druggist has committed suicide
because a woman who had prom
ised to marry him insisted on first
finding out whether she would be
committing bigamy. To tnary the
second first, and be divorced from
the first second, ought to be easy
nowadays.
The Standard Oil Company has
asked to have its taxes raised in
Chicago. This is the highest sign of
a genuine philanthr y Mr. Rock
fellow has yet given. In some
quarters it may be taken as a sign
of something worse.
A magazine writer in New York
pleads that his receipts have fallen
off so much since Mr. Roosevelt
went out of office that he is no longer
able to pay alimony to a divorced
wife. There are minds in which
this plea will be taken as the shad
ow of a third term.
The young women in Alton who
sued a dairy company for damages
because of poison in ice cream sold
to her has been awarded a judg
ment in an appelate court. Nature
is not so natural in Alton, in spite
of faking, that people there will not
tolerate food adulterations.
The effort of the Esperanto tongue

The
Independent Church
Saloons.
vs.
The Independent Church believes
in the liberty and right of choice of
the youuger son who took his por
tion and spent it in rietous living.
The saloon is for the man in that
stage of life.
The Independent
Church is for the same man when
he coinee to hid senses.
A man is never a man so long as
he is in restraint. I would much
rather go to hell on my own free
will than be forced into heaven.
Anything that interferes with the
right of choice is more injurious to
the church than the saloon. The
saloon was never intended for a
place of morals, where men of vir
tue and sobriety congregate.
I
believe that the church is more at
fault than the saloon for not having
a better place than the saloon.
The Independent Church is for
men who aim to do right, because
it is right as a matter of choice.
The question is what is right lias
to be settled by one’s own self.
One man believes it right to be a
total abstainer,
another believe
that the use of wine, beer and
liquor of ail kinds are well within
bounds of right. Men are not con
stituted alike, and what one man
may do with perfect impunity will
destroy another.
Every man should have a home
of his own, where he could have a
stock of wines and liquors that are
pure and aged and fit to drink. I
have never known a drunkard to
lay in a supply, he is invariably
out of anything to drink, yet they’
will spend from 10 to 50 times as
much for drink as the man who
provides for a year in advance.
If a man undertakes to build a
house he must first consider what
it costs. It costs to drink and no
one is better acquainted with the
fact than the man who drinks over
the bar. I consider the prohibition
movement a greater foe to the free
will worship of God than the saloon.
A man must be left alone before he
can decide for himself which course I
he is going to pursue.
A man does not remain on this
earth very long. He is under his
parental restraint until he becomes
of age, when he assumes the re
sponsibility of manhood the years
ily until he is no longer a man. He
beccmes old and decriped, and is
only fit for the child life, his vigor
and strength is short lived, the
best that this earth yields is ndne
too good. Judges ix., 13. —"Wine
which cheereth God and man.”
The sum of it is, are you on the
road to hell or heaven ? If to hell,
leave the saloon have its own way.
It will afford some sensation anil
amusements. If to heaven a good
gl-ss of wine will cheer you in your
own home.
