For the present women will not be per-
mitted to serve as lay delegates in the
Methodist Episcopal general conference,
but the vote has been 50 close that It is
virtually victory FOR them The vote
was taken by conferences and mission
fields, and shows an overwhelming num-
her in favor-i,5l5 for and SSsO against
but as three-fourths are necessary to
carry, the question was lost by the
scant minority OF Is This shows that
the tide has turned and sentiment Is
rapidly growing in favor OF this move
ment TO place woman on the level with
man The concession asked for had al
ready been decided In the lower bodies
by more than the constitutional three
tourths. Time works wonders. II is a
little more than a quarter OF u century
ago that laymen in the United States
were admitted to the higher body, and
their appointment is still by the pastor
OF church to the lower conference,
and by that in turn TO the higher. pi-
rectly, the people have no voice in the
matter A few women were appointed
lay delegates In lSSS the question OF sex
not being raised The contention was
that there was no constitutional pro-
hibition. but the general conference in
terpreted the clause in another way, and
the women were. perforce, Obliged to
wait for another opportunity. 1t has
come and gone, but they are now so
near the goal that there is scarcely any
Doubt but their patience will be reward
ed when next the test is made.

efforts TO ameliorate these conditions are
to the men thus engaged as ten TO one.
All legislation affecting childhood all in
stitutions for the criminal and poor,
must interest women as directly as men.
Who. II not women. are concerned In
all legislation about food and Sanltatlon7
The vast amount OF legislation on these
subjects is a confession by the govern
ment that its final cause Is the home.
and Il reveals the extent to which legis-
lation lends itself to securing public con-
ditions which will best conserve the in
terests OF private life.
As one further result OF this aspect OF
legislation. the function Of women in
the state Is becoming apparent. The
lesson OF centuries has not been lost
upon women. They have been taught
that they are the guardians OF home in
terests. II this be true. Is Il not logical
ly certain that In a state whose object
is to serve and conserve the home that
the guardians OF the home are the proper
critics, Judges and directors OF the state,
at least In so far as the state deals with
domestic questions? Women today are
crippled IN the performance OF purely
domestic duties by their exclusion from
direct participation In legislation; Grip
pied exactly as miners, weavers. ma-
chinists, farmers. umbermen and mer-
chants OF the male sex would be- were
these class disfranchlsed.

HAVING won their first great battle in
the fight for commercial supremacy and
the advancement OF home interests the
people at the mouth OF the Columbia
river can well congratulate themselves
and for a few days look back upon the
work accomplished. By unanimlty OF
action and a hard. long pull all together.
Astorians have opened the way for the
development of the great resources OF the
city and county. and the opening up OF
a traffic whose magnitude has perhaps
only been dreamed OF by a few enthu-
siasts. A few OF the results to be at
tained by the completion OF the Astoria
and Columbia River Railroad have been
outlined in another column. The building
OF the railroad. however. is but the first
step towards the accomplishment OF the
great ends desired and which can be at
tained. The hardest part of the work
Of building up a great lily and estab-
fishing the avenues Of commerce is yet
to come. Only by persistent effort, the
Punishment OF all petty jealousies, the
sinking out Of sight OF personal ends and
motives. and the burying OF all factional
strifes can anything like success become
possible. The greatest good for the
greatest number must be the watchword
OF all All interests OF every descrip-
tion in city and county must be made
to bend TO the one great object You
help me and I'll help you" is the prin-
ciple that will win. When foreigners
see that Astoria is a city with but cne
idea-the Chicago idea OF pushing itself
ahead under any and all circumstances
they will soon want to plant their dollars
here and lend a helping hand in the
building OF a port where millions are sure

WHY WALL STREET MARKETS
HAVE BEEN STRONG.


That the tide has turned and :evival
of general business is assured upon prin-
eipIes which lie at the bottom Of all sue
eess cannot be denied. The pulse Of
national business is more keenly felt in
Wsu street than perhaps anywhere else
d. the country, and in commenting on
sue situation the New York Herald says;
Although the leadIng speculative indus
MA stock had a sharp fall In Wall street
.ast week the market for securities was
I'd rligBtly effected.
gare recent appreciation In prices Is
1ggseIy dus to the fact that this country
Is begun 70 live within its means. Ex-
-avagant imports have bene reduced
l1a exports have increased, so that
there has been little need to send gold
out of the country, and the ;teasury's
reserve remains at reassuring figures.
Al growing conviction that the next
president will be elected upon sound
money platform has contributed to the
Improvement. and the speculative con-
tingent Is encouraged by the expected
adjournment of congress at an early
day. Europe, however IS not buying
our stockBln volume. and probably will

as to ayAuceessful termination of the

What Causes PimpleS?

Clogging of the pores or mouths Of the
SebaceOus glands with sebum or oily matter.
The plug Of sebum in the centre of the pim-
pie is called blackhead, grub, or comedone.
Nature will not allow the clogging Of the
pores to continue long, hence,
Inflammation, pain, swelling and redness;
later pus ormatter forms, breaks or is opened,
the plug comes out, and the pore Is once more
free.
There are thousands Of these pores in the
face alone, any one Of which is liable to be-
come clogged by neglect or disease.
