But allowing for all these different

BETTER SOCIETY

Mrs, Ben says that she wants to
get into better society than the coun-
try affords They bought a $1,000
house in town, and on the same block
they will have, as a neighbor, a saloon
keeper and butcher who whips his
wife. They are half a block from a
livery stable and one block from a
blacksmith shop, so ! guess that So
ciety doings will be brisk around
there.
No chickens, no cows, no pigs in
the pen, no garden, no truck patch, no
wheat in the mill, and as the boy said,

day is about 5000 year, holidays
and Sundays left out, and Ben can not
be sure Of full 300 days work in
year His wife won't be able to sell
$40 worth Of butter, and $50 worth OF
poultry as she did last year, and buy

ENGLISH UNDEFILED

This time last season, Miss Maude
Adams, obtaining Charles Frohman's
permission TO revive "L'Aiglon" for
Western tour, found herself con-
fronted with the great difficulty that
always lies in the path of obtaining
uniformity or refinement of speech on
the stage. The parts had been dis
tributed and the company assembled
for the first rehearsal. Then was
heard perfect Babel of conflicting
modes of speech. The Western burr,
the New York accent, the Southern
drawl, the Yankee twang, and the
clipped utterance of an Englishman
could be distinguished-in some cases
only by an acutely sensed ear, but
upon the whole there was an unmis-
takeable incongruity and discord Of
pronunciation and utterance among
the twenty players assembled to re-
hearse classic. This is not rare, but
a frequent happening 1t is not a
censurable because it is an almost in
superable fault We have no generally
accepted standard of correct utter
ance, and the vastness of the country,
the great number of populous centres,
the variety Of climates, is the reason
if not the excuse. The lack Of it is
felt in every walk OF life. Said a
professor Of English in a leading

THE PLAIN TRUTH.
What More Can Astoria People
Ask?

When we'll known residents and
highly respected people OF Astoria
make such statements as the follow
ing, it must carry conviction TO
every reader;
Mrs. E. Haggblom, corner Ninth
and Harrison streets, Astoria, Ore
gon, says: For ten years | suffered
acutely from kidney trouble which
gradually grew more severe until |
became alarmed. My back was so
weak and painful and suffered from
such severe dizzy spells that | could
hardly get around. At last | was
forced to take to my bed and re-
mained there for a long time My
kidneys were irregular in action and
the secretions so profuse as to cause
me great deal OF suffering. At last
l decided to try a good kidney rem
edy and procured box of Doan's
Kidney Pills at Rogers drug store.
The results that followed their use
were most satisfactory ! continued
using them and it was not long be-
fore l was completely cured. | have

PETER LACY CHERRY.

In every community throughout the
civilized world there are the men
who serve to balance and adjust the
local trend of thought and action;
men, who by virtue of their years and
experiences and high conceptions of
civic duty, WELD an influence for good
and safety, and communal potency.
Of such as these was the late Peter
Lacy Cherry.
His word was always for the i'm
provement Of the social, the CONNER
cial and the ethical, advancement of
the city, though that word were
spoken from the standpoint Of the
subject of another land; his example
was invariably excellent and worthy
of emulation; he clung tenaciously to
the older and more rigorous stand
ards of personal contact and obliga-
ton and stood for the primal and
severer codes of honesty, morality,
cleanliness and sobriety, while he was
punctilious in the observance Of the

AsToR1A's OWN.

Everybody is pleased with the out
come of the effort that has ben made
to organize the artillery company Of
the Oregon Natioal Guard here, and
the fine group OF young Astorians en-
ter upon their military career with
the unanimous and cheerful good will
OF their fellow citizens.
As the first company in the artil-
lery service under the new forma-
ton devised by the federal govern
ment ,on the Pacific coast, this com
pany should and will establish high
standard of accomplishment and fur
nish an admirable example for those
that follow in the same line of mill
tary service and Astoria will have
very tangible reason for pride and
interest in their future.
There is no measuring the posi-
bilities that may fall to such an or
ganization. The years may be full of
opportunity for the making OF splen-
did records, and the accumulation
can only add to the civic sense Of
obligation already felt in the home
The duties confronting the
soldier are OF the hardest, and yet
they are the loftiest imposed by hu-
man association and organic effort,
and if the hour of manful test comes
we want to feel the foregone and GER
tain assurance that the First Com
pany, of Astoria, will be in the van
and ready for the great try-out with
quality, courage, and adroitness su-
preme This is the standard the peo-
pie are setting for the new force, and
they will not be disappointed. Dur
ing the hours OF peace they will pre-
pare against the vast emergency OF
war, as the greatest of all American
soldiers has commanded Good luck
to them, one and all, for all time!.

BRYAN.

This is the name and the man the
country is called upon to consider in
regard to the bestowal of the highest
gift within its province, as opposed to
the claims Of Hon William H, Taft,
Hon. William ]. Bryan is quite as well
known to the American electorate as
is the ex-war secretary in the Roose-
welt cabinet, and has a powerful and
intelligent following in the land, and
may not be reckoned with upon any
flimsy basis whatever.
AS a fair prelude to the vast, the
interminable, popular discussion that
will ensue for the next four months,
it may be said OF both that they are
clean and able men, actuated by the
loftiest sentiments of civic pride and
the widest and richest experience in
great affairs; both stand unimpeached
as citizens and representative men
and command the respect of the
nation.
Political differentiations will, of
course, arise and be hotly contended
for, On the rostrum, in the press, at
all the great and minor centcrs Of the
country. and by the time the issues
have been laid and the crisis OF the
polls arrives, both men will have been
abused, discredited, and generally
scarifed out of all semblance to their
true and original selves; on the other
hand, each will have been exalted for
every known grace and attribute he
possesses, and perhaps for many that
he never had, and the divisions OF the
people, standing for one and the
other, will have exhausted themselves
in the wild up-roar of the campaign,
and after the choice has been made,
the country will subside, and go on
its commoner and pre-destined course,
united and tranquil and business-like,
as ever.
Primarily both these men stand
for the good of the nation in every
conceivable direction, and neither will
forfeit, for an instant, the command
ing and honorable place they hold in
the public estimate. As men and par
tisans, they will stand for divergent
policies of government and separate
schemes and schisms of purely poll
tical sort. Otherwise, they are just
what they are: High-minded, COM
mendable, and honored citizens of
the United States 1t is up to the
people of the country to say which |
system and which man they want.
With them rests the final and arbi-
trary word. But they will sound the
depths of the doctrines as they arise
during the turbulent season to come,
and give the mandate forth in terms
that may not be disputed nor dis
obeyed.
With our inalienable right to fore
cast this word, we declare they will,
beyond all question, name William
Howard Taft for the Presidency.
