A TAX FOR PROGRESS.

The proposition to tax the full
community for the progressive worl;
Of that community, whether it be a
State, City, County, or District, has a
large measure Of wisdom and justice
to commend it; wisdom, in that the
burden is the better disseminated and
more equally apportioned to those
who are to pay the bill and receive
the benefit; justice, in that it allows
none TO escape the burden Of the
improvement while realizing the
largess Of the enterprise, And beside,
it saves the usual heart breaking task
Of collection, one Of the inseparable
evils Of the present system; for there
are those who subscribe generously,
but who, by divergent ways, yet, all
ways, inpliedly innocent, manage to
escape the crisis Of collection, either
in whole or in part.
We do not know the constitutional
phase Of the proposed legislation to
be asked for BY our Clatsop represen.

sition up to the whole State by max

communities which may desire such

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment Of any kind, do
not for q moment imagine that colds
are not dangerous. Everyone knows
that pneumonia and, chronic catarrh
have their origin in a common cold.
Consumption Il not caused BY cold
but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development Of
the germs that would not otherwise
have found lodgment. II is the same
with all infectious diseases Diph.
liberia, scarlet fever, measles and
whooping cough are much more like
.ly to be contracted when the child
has cold. You will see from this
that more real danger Turks In a cold
than in any other Of the common all
ments. The easiest and quickest way
to cure cold is to take Chamber
lain's Cough Reemdy. The many re-
inarkable cures effected by this prep
aration have made it a staple article

ARE WE LAW-ABIDINGi.

Are we Americans, we 0regonians,
we clatsopians, we Astorians, we.
people, generally and terrirtorially,
law-abiding?. Or do we despise the
law and obey it only because we have
to; because we fear it more than we
cherish it7. If the ordinarily good
citizen will ask himself these ques-
tions and try to reach solution of
the most startling problem Of the
hour, he will do himself and his coun-
try distinct service; for the start
ling truth is forcing itself upon the
conutry's conscience that we are not
law-abiding, and the world abroad is
ready to assure US Of this and to
prove it.
In no land Under the sun IS the
law more immensely in contempt
than it is in America, if human judg-
ment be based upon the incredible
and insistant attitude we assume in
the annulling, profaning, and discred-
iting the law, common, statutory and
constitutional. This is a strong state
ment but it were better made boldly,
within the gates Of our own habitat
and range of responsibility, than to
hear it from harsher sources outside.
We have but one thing to do, as a
people, and that is to amend our
own laches and strive for the fulfil
ment Of the law, great and small, as
we urge it upon our legislators, or
accept it from their hands. 1t is no
matter Of huge and conglomerate ac-
ton; it simply requires the best spirit
and exercise of real citizenship; the
true expression of civic fraternity as
we have ordained it in the govern
mental sense. AS it is, we are drift
ing, and consciously near to peril
that not only destroys, but damns.
It will probably turn out that the
sound-money democrats didn't take
rain checks when they left the party
and didn't want them.
