WASHINGTON, THE supERBl

There is no American living who will
begrudge the cost Of making the ma
tional capital the grandest city on earth
II is the purpose OF Congress to spend
millions in the adornment Of the seat
OF government until nothing shall equal
it in magnifcence of appointment AMI
equipment; until all that art, inventive
genius, and adroit adaptation, conceiv-
able in the national mind, has been ap.
piled to make ii the sum of perfection,
it beauty, and in convenience; this is
as it should be, 1t must be the typical
city of the highest racial type on earth,
and no year must pass without some
splendid manifestation Of this great pur-
pose, 1t belongs to the people and the
people are honored in its last phase OF
sublimity. There are none to oppose
the scheme, and millions to approve and
applaud it.

w0MEN'S WOES.
Astoria Women Are Finding Relief at
Last.

1t does seem that women have more
than fair share Of the aches and pains
that afflict humanity; they must "keep
up" must attend to duties in spite of
constantly aching backs, or headaches,
dizzy spells, bearing down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop means
torture. They must walk and bend and
work with racking pains and many aches
from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more
suffering than any other organ Of the
body. Keep the kidneys well and health
is easily maintained. Read of remedy
for kidneys only that helps and cures
the kidneys and is endorsed by people
you know.
Mrs. John Close, of 230 Commercial
street, Astoria, Ore, says: "I just as
ardently recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
now as did some three years ago when
they relieved me of severe attack of
backache and kidney complaint. ] never
before used any remedy that acted as
promptly and effectively as Doan's Kid
ney Pills which I procured at Charles
Rogers drug store on Commercial street,
my belief is that if this medicine fails
to give relief to anyone suffering from
kidney troubles there is nothing else that
will relieve. I cheerfully recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills to all troubled as |
was"

GO SLOW, MR.. SOCIALIST!

Eugene V. Debs declares his willing
ness to lead a million men in the en-
deavor to free Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone from the Idaho jail in which
they are confined charged with com
plicity in the murder Pf Governor Steun-
enberg, by bloodshed if necessary,
peaceably if possible. Go slow, Mr.. So
cialist! This is neither France, nor
Russia, and there may be obstacles.
The average American is perfectly able,
of himself to draw the line between
socialism and anarchy and he will draw
it at a juncture of that sort in =
fashion that will demonstrate, for all
time to come, the niceties of his judg-
ment and the infallibility of his pur-
pose. We have no quarrel with social
ism as a doctrine; it has many beauti-
full and serviceable things to commend
it, and it may be, that in the course of
time, it will supply many reform bases
for the administration Of government
and society; but the instant it assumes
to be greater than the American law
that instant it becomes anarchy and the
reprisals it will invoke are not pleasant
to contemplate. This is not the first
instance of honest socialists being led
by crazy anarchists. The propogandas
OF the two cults run parallel for quite
a distance in studies and precepts, but
there is point where they separate
to meet no more; where the socialist
takes up the full and excellent course
OF law ordained and administered by
all, for all; and where the anarchist

IDIoSYNcRACIES OF JURIES.

The trial of the murderer, Hembree,
at Tillamook, develops some more of the
extraordinary vagaries of the juridieal
mind. One juror holds out strenuously
for innocence and aequittal; nothing can
alter his conclusion; he calmly an
Eounces his conviction and decision, and
bis eleven colleagues can fall in line,
find some other verdict, or go to the
devil. for all he cares. They wrangle
all night and with the up-eoming sun
compromise" on a verdict of man
slaughter This is a sample of the JUS
tice that is meted out in the jury roorG
and against which there is no appeal.
There were three crimes involved in
the arraignment of Hembree in the
popular mind; two murders and incest.
Yet twelve men of supposedly normal
intelligence sit in judgment upon him,
hear all the testimony adduced for and
against him, and because one of their
number, avowedly his friend, stands up
determinedly for his freedom, the eleven
must perforce, compromise" their de-
dnctions and bring in a life-sparing
verdict. This sort of stuff makes one
yearn for the travelling jury of England;
for the system that purges the jury
room of friend and foe of the criminal;
that gives the criminal and the people
a fair deal in the vital phases of the
inquiry. Hembree was guilty of mur-
der, or he was innocent of it. That was
the sum of ascertainment expected at
the hands of this jury. Compromise"
in a jury room is peculiar condition
OF crime in itself, and every atom Of
power within the purview of the law
should be brought to bear against it.
II is, invariably, mockery of justice;
and menace to the freedom of the
alleged criminal or the rights of the
people.
