OLD AGE
Our Local Druggist Tells People of As
toria How to Ward 1t OF.

Some people at fifty call themselves
old, and really appear so, while others
at seventy seem active, vigorous and
young.
A reporter of the Astorian happened
in the store Of Charles Rogers, our local
druggist, the other evening, and this
subject was brought up. Said Mr..
Rogers, 1T is a fact and We see it IL
lusrated every day right here in As
toria. 1t is not years; old age does
not begin at any set time, but it is loss
of vital force that makes person old.
4 severe sickness, weakened digestion,
thin blood, or poor circulation SOON
starts vitality on the wane and then a
person rapidly ages.
"on the other hand" continued Mr..
Rogers, "if the people of Astoria only
knew how our cod liver prparatdon,
vinol, wards off old age, we would not
have clerks enough in our store TO sup
ply the demand
"You see, vinol contains the vitality
making, building principles OF cod
liver oil, but without a drop of the
system .cloggEg oil. 1t strengthens di-
gestive organs, makes rich, red blood.
repairs worn tissues, checks the natural
decline and replaces weakness with
strength.
zone good customer Of vinol, who is
SEVENTY. eight yprs of aye, says -
would not axe $1,000 for the good it has
done him, and we wish every aged per-
son in Astoria would try Vinol on our
guarantee TO return money if it fails.

could not be expected to resign upon an
intimation that he might be chosen

sumption that would have made him
ridiculous; he had the constitutional
right to aspire to the more exalted of

assurances of reward to any person for

solely charged with the duty OF naming

statement of MIR. Davenport unsupport

determination; he did not have to re.
sign the post and duties of the state

greater office had been consummated,
and then he did resign. and went to his

ence of hundreds of men before him; he
is not the ony man who has taken the
splendid prize from the very center of
home Legislative environment in this
state and all the other commonwealths
of the country; the assumption that
he should have resigned from the Ore.
gon Senate upon the first breath of
rumor that he was likely to be named
for Congress, is as silly as the eonelu
sion that he should not have lent
dignifed and knowledgeable acquiesence
to the plan in order that those engaged
in it might know their work would not
be futile.
There has been an unending scramble
and search for something with which to
besmirch Mr.. Fulton ever since the ap.
pearance Of United States Attorney
Heney in Oregon and the program OF
disclosure he brought with him and un-
folded so successfully; mot that that
gentleman lent himself OF his office to
the dirty work of contamination by
way of reprisal on the part of those
caught in the criminal net and by their
friends on the outside of it; and the
screed of "Uncle Tim" is either in line
with this implacable design land to which
he is contributing), or it is a sort of
first gun in the campaign of his friend
and farmer, Ex-Governor I. I.
Geer, who has an eye on the vacancy
in the National Senate, or lastly, it is
a late remembered thesis to which the
venerable ex.Sate Land Agent has lent
himself for the indulgence OF an hour
otherwise unemployed and dull to the
point of stagnation.

MOUNTAIN AND MOUSE.

Tim. W. Davenport, Democrat, phil
osopher, farmer, land father of the gen.
ial and famous cartoonist, Homer Dav-
enport,) is disturbing the heritage of
ease and comfort that is rightfully his
by reason of honorable age and the fit
reward that accrues to a life well spent,
and endangering the serenity of his
placid existence at Silyerton by hunt
ing around for something to write
about. He is, withal, good writer, a
lucid writer, and as rule his contri-
buttons TO current literature are worth
the reading because of his capacity TO
think and of faculty for consecutive
expression after he has done his think
ing. But We are driven TO the unwel'
come conclusion that the Marion county
sage has reached the limitations that
come with age and an existence sur
charged with ease and leisure.
His last letter, published in the Ore.
gonian of Wednesday, anent the breach
of constitutional law committed by
Charles w. Fulton in accepting the
nomination and election for and to the
Office of United States Senator while he
was still a member of the Oregon Legis-
lature, is the case in point from which
we adduce confirmation of our conclu.
sion as to his literary infrmity.
After two solid columns of prelude,
that reads like chapter from the moral
edicts of Confucius, Ia necessary predi.
cate, perhaps, for the idle and far
fetched accusation with which he closes
his letter. he informs the wondering
world that the only man on the official
representative roster of the State OF
Oregon who is too clean and wholesome
and straightforward TO have been i'm.
mersed in the shameful pool of public
prostitution in which every one of bis
colleagues has found political death and
the state its elimination of disgrace, j:
guilty of a violation of his oath Of office
and his obligation to the Constitution oi
the State, because, forsooth, he took VI
the honor of the National Senate that
was cast at his fee by people and col
leagues who believed he was the on'
man able enough and deserving enough
to carry the standard; and this aftel
two years of service has proven the Ger
tainty of their judgment.
The people were forced to go to th'
legislature for a man with brains anC

T1LLMAN THOUGHT So.-When he
learned of the decision Of the United
States supreme court to the effect that
the South Carolina dispensary Is sub
ject to taxation the same as an indi-
vidual, Senator B. r. Tillman Is quoted
as saying:
why, Of course, they had to decide
that way, else the whole system OF In
ternal revenue from Dan to Beer-sheba
would be knocked into a cooked hat.
All South Carolina or any other state
would have to do would be to start up
its own distilleries and not pay cent
of revenue taxes. But In making this
decision the supreme court reverses q
half a dozen or more Of its former
decisions. When Mackey first pro-
posed this thing to me some years ago
and asked me to recommend the suit
to Gov. McSweeney, would not do 1t
until I had looked carefully into the
decisions of the supreme court, but
did this and found that in every case,
from John Marshall down to the pres
ent. the decisions were In accord with
Mackey's ideas that the state, not be-
ing a person, was not subject to inter-
nal revenue laws. But told Mackey
at the time that the supreme court
would wriggle out of 1t somehow. They
would not allow the whole revenue
business to be knocked up. Yet I
wrote the letter to McSweeney, rec
ommending It, It could do no harm to
try 1t and throw 1t up to them to de-
eide"

THE understanding is that the row
which developed among members Of
the South Carolina delegation in
Washington during the last session of
congress over the Federal judgeship
bill, involving one or more new places
to hold court, will be renewed at this
session. 1t is reported that Congress
man Latimer has already introduced
a bill providing for a new Federal
judicial district in this state, the elec-
ton Of another district judge and the
fixing Of places at which court shall be
held. Rock Hill, Chester, Greenwood
and Spartanburg are all anxious to be
designated as places for holding court,
and at the last session of congress,
Congressman Johnson and Finley, had
about arranged the matter for the Sc
lection of Spartanburg and Rock Hill,
when others brought forward the
claims of Greenwood and Chester, and
brought about a situation that re-
suited in the defeat of the bill. While
as a matter of fact there is but little
need for one more place for holding
court, and certainly no need for more
than two, it is out of the question that
all four of these contestants can be
accommodated. But judging by what
has already taken place, all are in the
fight to stay, and the prospect is for
a merry row, with lots of hard feeling,
and maybe no additional judgeship, or
additional places for holding court af-
ter all.

the Spartanburg bar, having been
elected by the legislature, will become
Judge of the Seventh judicial circuit to
succeed Hon. d. A. Townsend of Union.
This is the first time Spartanburg has
been represented in the judiciary Of the
state for many years, though 1t has not
been so for lack Of material, as some
of the ablest, most studious and pro-
found lawyers ito be found anywhere

Hydrick will ornament the bench,
bringing to its service the conscientious
application Of great legal learning, the
benefit Of a ripe experience acquired
in a large and extensive law practice
which he gives up to serve the state,
and the strength and force Of the best
and highest type of citizenship. Spar
