ToLSToI'S LATEST.

The tremendous denunciation, hurl-
ed at the House of Romanoff and its
satellites and systems and the myriad
atrocities attributable to them, by the
venerable apostle OF human freedom,
Tolstoi, is one of the noblest pleas
against the last stand of tyranny and
civic murder that has been penned in
century. 1t is the one passionate
outcry of man grown old in the
awful fight for human rights against
the human lust OF power, and is writ
ten as the very martyrs write when
they know their hour is near and seek
to hasten it.
To the needless world, at large, it
offers an accounting for all that is
detestable in the Russian character,
for its lines reveal the dreadful
courses that have warped splendid
people to the dregs of moral and
spiritual life and made brute strength
and british vengeance the command
ing characteristics Of a great nation.
The document is certain to create
profound impression everywhere
and may start a revolution in the
land where, and for which, it was
written. 1t may not be lightly an
swered if there is a conscience or a
heart left in high places at St, Peters
burg, and wondering world awaits
the response that must come Tolstoi
toog care that its reading should be
made possible throughout the civilized
world at one and the same time, and
silence in the autocratic circles OF
Russia will surely be construed as
full and unavoidable confession Of its
dreadful truths.

FAIR PLAY IN BUSINESS.

There are those who think that a
newspaper is public institution to
be used as general convenience
and an alround boosting agency with
out reference as to who pays for the
service; that it simply MUST boom
and push and hurrah for things be-
cause it is newspaper This is not
only folly, but sheer injustice to
the people who have good money
sunk in the enterprise and maintain a
payroll as well as other business
houses about it.
II is true that the newspaper with
public spirit behind it is sure to do
vastly more than it is ever paid for,
but it is just as true that the home
paper is entitled to the home patron
age of those whose ends it serves as
the leaders and promoters of local
celebrations entertainments, recep-
tons and other schemes Of business
and enjoyment It is also true that
every dollar spent for these things
outside the home town is a detriment
and denial of the home-spirit, and a
wrong to those who do business in
that line here.
Don't expect too much OF the
newspaper that is ignored by you;
spend your money with it, and you
are not likely to want full measure
from it; it's a poor newspaper that
does not invariably exceed the de-
mands made upon it in matters OF
public exploitation, and it is grave
blunder to overlook or neglect it
Fair play in home business and home
advertising and home celebration is
quie as essential as in any other line
of home effort, and in each and all the
newspapers is entitled to just, and
first, consideration always.

ALL IMPORTANT.

Among all the things needful in this
city and county the building of the
electric line to the seaboard towns is
the most important just at present.
Because Of it there will ensue line
OF development in farming, garden
ing, dairying and fruit-raising that
will be as astonishing as it will be
profitable; aside from the new life
that will be injected here by those
who shall come to us and add their
numbers and patronage TO hundreds
of collateral industries and busi-
nesses. We believe it will be built,
and as quickly as possible; and the
sooner the better, if only to bring
about a reduction in the transporta-
ton rates for freight and passengers
now prevailing. No city of Astoria's $
size in the country pays such scale
of fares and freights on an l8-mile
haul as is paid here at present, and
this is another reason why every aid
should be given the venture at hand.
1t is not a question of men who own,
control or stand sponsor for the new
road, it is an issue solely Of its build
ing and the relief that must come in
the way of time, cost, and develop
ment.

GO SLOW, GENTLEMEN.

No one denies, for an instant, the
necessity and efficacy Of the big
things that public-spirited Astoria is
striving for, and which she must have
in the natural course of her civic de-
velopment; but "the piper must be
paid" in the end, and we are not i'm
mune from his insistant and unesca-
pable demands.
The logic Of natural, commercial
and industrial development hereabout
makes the seawall, the port of AS
toria, the electric suburban lines, and
all the rest of the great expedients
absolutely indispensable; but there is
no logic that warrants reckless
plunge into incalculable public in

LYDIA E. FINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study Of drugs.
From the roots and herbs Of the
field Lydia K. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
Of the world a remedy for their pc.
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
"Complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
Of other suffering women | am willing
to make my troubles public. !.
"For twelve years I had been suffer.
ing with the worst forms Of female ills.
During that time | had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what / suffered, and at times ]
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
! followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vege,
table Compound did for Mrs. Muti.
twill do for other suffering women.

wisely, slowly and in such manner as

we do any OF them, re-establish the
grades of Astoria fairly, fully and

This was brought out at the Aberdeen

Pioneer Dakota Statesman Passes
Away at Yankton.
Hon. Newton Edmunds, ex-governor
of Dakota territory and president Of
Yankton National bank, died at Yank-
ton Thursday at 2:30 o'clock p. M,
following series of paralytic strokes
with which he was attacked last Sun
day He was 8S years of age.
For forty-seven years he had been
closely associated with the territory
and state. In that time he saw all
the degrees Of change from savagery
to civilization, from land that was
barren as the desert to the land that
blossoms as the rose. H... .
Ex-Gov. Edmunds was born In Nj
agara county. N. Y, May 80, 1919. In
1882 he removed TO Washtenaw coun-
ty, Mich, where he lived until he was
appointed chief clerk in the surveyor
generals office for the territory of Da-
kota. In August, 1868. Abraham Lin
coin appointed him governor of the
territory His administration began
in the darkest period of Dakota's his
tory. The nation was convulsed in
civil strife, and the Sioux massacre of
the year preceding had swept the
whites from the territory, with the
exception of the fringe of settlements
along the Missouri and Sioux rivers.
Ex-Gov. Edmunds was a man or
peace. His work was of inestimable
value to the young state wherein his
fortunes were cast.
