pIPHTHERIA AT PATTON;
INSANE REMAIN IN JAIL

Owing to an epidemic of diphtheria at
the Patton insane asylum necessitat-

more patients will be sent there from

While there is ample room for them

sible terms. 1t goes to the root OF
the question OF official responsibility

their share in that failure to do this
simplest duty; and at the same time
illustrates the exact cause and intu-
ence that has deferred Chief Gammal

DAILY WAR-SCARES.

Hardly day passes that some new
and dismal prophecy is not uttered in
high places, by men OF supposed
standing, as TO the absolute unpre-
paredness OF the United States to en-
gage in war. And we doubt not there
are many essential things to do, yet,
to put us in hrst-class fighting trim,
and that an instant call of the sort,
might stagger us bit, at least, until
we got over the "daze." But we
deprecate the eternal foisting OF the
question on the public and the world,
No other nation on earth would per-
NIT such indiscriminate discussion OF
its vital affairs; and the claim, that
broadcast criticism is conducive to ad-
ministrative remedial action, is not
as true as it would seem to be. Great
departments of government in this
country are not amenable to popular
structure so much as they are to lin
tied appropriations by Congress; this
is the milk in the cocoanut";; and
when the people learn just how last
they are growing, how immensely
their specific agencies are expanding,
and realize the need for larger equip
ment and more generous contribution,
the matter will easily rectify itself.
We have yet to make history that
tells of defeat and spoilation at the
hands of an enemy, at home, or
abroad, and the day is still remote
when that shame shall fall. Until it
does, our best influences were better
turned to other and silenter means OF
achieving that which is needed.

PARTY CALLS, AND PRIMARIES

1t is question in Oregon, just
now, as to whether the law, or party,
is the governing force in the adjust
ment Of political issues.
Acting, primarily, upon the best
instinct of citizenship, we shall obey
the law first, and then adhere as close
" as that law permits, and our con-
science behooves, to the demands Of
the Republican party; and having full
filled the statute, shall, get squarely
behind that party's candidates and
stay with them to the end.
"If thy hand offend thee, cut it
off" Obey the law, or repeal i'll
The primary law is fairly and
squarely on the statute books and was
placed there by, and with, the con-
sent OF the people, in party and out OF
it. With some few essential amend
ments, which in time will be made, it
is likely to stay there forever. Popu-
lar laws are not easily abrogated, for
all attempts of the kind are construed
as retroactive and dangerous. And
yet, if such edicts shall prove to be
hurtful, confusing, inadequate, or
palpably bad, the people may exercise
their original prerogative and recall
them.
The people must speak first upon
the men and measures pending; after
that we shall have our say on candi-
dates, policies and premises for which
the Republicans of Oregon, Clatsop
county, and the City of Astoria, stand
sponsor. We are moved to this
statement, again, by the repeated and
insistant demands as to why we are
silent on all pro-primary matters.

LOWER COLUMBIA COAL.

Thirty-fve we'll known citizens OF
this city have just returned from a
visit to the coal mines at Cardiff, up
the Cowlitz River, in Washington,
whittier they went as the guests OF
the company controlling the prop
erty. These men are unit, practi-
cally, in the statement that there are
almost inexhaustible quantities OF lig-
mite coal in plain sight and workable
lay, at the mines; and that the owners
are actually at point where the only
thing left to do is to market it.
1t is freely admitted by the repre-
sentatives of the company that the
coal is not of the highest grade. They
assert, however (and so far, without
successful contradictory, that it is as
good as the ordinary output sent to
this market from Australia; and that
for all domestic purposes is an excel
lent and satisfactory article.
1t is to be placed on the Astoria
market at delivery cost not to ex-
ceed $1,000 per ton, and in such guam
titles as will give the last man a full
opportunity of testing it for every
merit it possesses. Bunkers are to
be erected at a central and accessible
point and the business is to be handed
with a view of establishing the staple,
at once, and for all time, as among
the chief of the commoner supplies
on this market. It is we'll worth the
interest of every man and family in
the city, and the try-out will probably
fix the commodity as one OF perma-
nent features Of local commerce here
The coal is to be exploited as a
factor in the steamship circles Of this
port, and is liable to cut considerable
figure in that end of the commerce,
since, while it is not quite SO good a
steam producer as the foreign article,
the difference in cost at the bunkers
will far more than balance the physi-
cal demerit alluded to. Hence, the
next door product is likely to cut
quite a swathe in its particular realm
of industry and commerce as Astoria
stands for those elements.

WILD BEASTS.

From time immemorial man has

to help him hunt and capture other
animals, but you have to go to the
far east to see wild and savage beasts
of prey broken in to such purpose.
So writes Captain Francis Thatcher
in the Technical World Magazine for
April. It must be remembered that
however much you "tame" a wild
beast, he always remains wild and his
savage instincts are likely to break

"What Women Will Do"

Is the title of Harry Jackson's lat
est and greatest play presented by the
Holden Bros. & Edwards Company.
In speaking of the play the critics
throughout the country acknowledge
that Mr. Jackson has succeeded in
getting much of the color OF Charles
Dickens great story, David Copper
field, upon the stage. The play is not
a direct dramatization OF that novel,
but founded on some of the principal
incidents. The action being placed
about James Steerforth, Rora Dottle,
Emily, Micawber, Peggotty, Uriah
Heep and Hammond Peggotty, the
rough young fisherman in love with
Emily, the innocent young woman
who forsakes him for the promises OF
Steerforth, later to be cast aside. The
punishment of Steerforth, when he is
drowned during hand-to-hand night
with Hammond Peggoty, with few
other scenes in which Mr.. Jackson
has deserted Dickens, gives the play
a melo-dramatic flavor. The comedy
element as supplied by the Micawber
family. The scenic effects are excel
lent. the parts are we'll played, and
the success of the play is demon
strated by the applause and hearty
laughter at each performance. What
