The signs multiply that the Wilson
bill as it is, with unimportant amend
ments. will become a law before many
weeks elapse. The democrats are not
particular as to details, but they have
made up their minds not to tax sugar
and not to add a tax on whiskey, beer,
tobacco or coffee to raise revenue, be-
cause the real democratic anxiety is
that the income tax must be enacted.
Why they do not take the idea of Vice
President Stevenson and clap on the
war tax that wrested vast sum from
the manufacturers is a mystery. 1t is
quite true that the country needs "ac-
tion," as the senators Of the finance
committee say; but the trouble is 1t is
announced by every democrat who
speaks that the Wilson bill is not a
finality, but one step of long walk.
This walk is not in the direction that
will bring prosperity to the country. 1t
may do some good to end for time
the uncertainties of the changes to be
made in the law. The business men of
the nation know about what is to be
done, and might as we'll discount the
reformation. There is no use waiting
on congress- for prosperity to set in.
Now is the time to prosper. Business
knows the worst.

Hon. Binger Hermenn has been heard
from-and that emphatIcally. He does
not want governor, but asks to be re-
turned to congress. Correct: no better
endorsement than his acts for four con-
secutIye terms can be asked. There is
now an open field for governor, and
the Transcript would rise and present
the name Of Hon. c. w. Fulton, of clat-
sop county, president of the last Oregon
senate No man in the state stands
higher in the estimation Of the people.
and no man would guard more zealously
the interests Of this commonwealth. II
nominated Mr.. Fulton would carry Ore
gon by s,OOd.-valley Transcript.
Very true. If Mr.. Fulton accepts the
nomination for governor, clatsop county
win do her share by giving him hand
some majority.

Who ever suggested the name Of Pat
rick o'Hara for sheriff should be well
satisfied with the response Of the peo-
pie. He seems to be the choice of the
people, regardless of politics, notwith-
standing the fact that he is hard-work-
ing man and only wears a boiled shirt
on sunday.--Budget
The costume indicated is somewhat
scant for the prevailing weather, and
even in the heat Of summer there are
two urgent objections, viz, the flies and
the police.

The recent disasters to English and
French expeditions in Africa--the mas
sacre of a pursuing party Of English in
South Africa, and the overwhelming at
tack upon the French south Of Timbuc-
too--have disclosed the extent Of the In
cursions of Europeans in Africa the last
of the continents to be subordinated to
civilization The energy OF the colonists
Is very great, and 1t is remarkable that
the French have advanced to the south
of the Sahara Desert. 1t is believed
there are resources in Africa for the
support of a population equal to that

The fact that New York is played out
as the boss state of the democratic par
ty has fully made It's appearance in cur
rent history, and politicians may govern
themselves accordingly. New York will
probably be republican state after the
next election, and the solid south will
ride the high horse.

You often need little wine, and
should never be without it in the house.
But be sure that 1t is good; bad wine
might lpjprs your stomach, and GER
tainly cannot improve it,
Good Hquor dealers have good custom

afford to sell any other kind.
We claim that ours is the best store
in Astoria for every brand of wine, from
champagne down to sweet Catawba.

THE "HOSS' EDITORS DILEMMA
with head full of records
And pedIgrees galore,
The "hoss' editor writ
AS he'd ne'er writ before.
With two-twenty clip
He drove his pen along,
And thoughts came untrammeled
Like the notes Of song.
Absorbed in his theme,
The scribe was not aware
That fair, blushing damsel
Stood close to his chair;
With step light and airy
She'd entered the den
Where the "editair" piled
Both scissors and pen.

And now, alas! her love
Is blasted-cold and dead
