THE GOOD TIMES BOOM.

It is true that optimism can BE- car
ried too far. There should be some.
thing in sight to back it up. Prosperi
ty which exists only in the mind Is o
lpoor asset The Iron Trade Review
thinks that this national habit of op-
timism is being pushed to excess in
some quarters at this particular time.
Referring to the unwarranted circula-
ton of improvement reports, which II
calls manufacturing prosperity" this
paper says:
Every section OF the country is natural
ly eager to see a restoration Of normal
| conditions, particularly on the part Of its
own leading industries. and wherever
| there is evidence that this is being ac-
complished the fact is deserving OF the
widest publicity, IL for no other reason
than the influence 1t may exert on indus
trial conditions generally. But there Is
no room for doubt that In the long run
the work OF restoring confidence and of
building up business toward the normal
is actually hindered by the publication OF
reports which are either entirely with
out foundation in fact or at most tell but
half the truth. These fallacies are GER
tain to be discovered and noised abroad
and their reaction Is invariably disas-
trous.
But it is possible that the cry Of
hard times was itself overdone. 1t Is
to be noticed that some of the sections
which insisted last October that there
was no panic are still talking on the
same key. If the shouts Of that class
OF optimists fell upon dull ears, it is
but natural that they should shout
oftener and louder. There are truth
full reports current Of heavy orders in
manufacturing, Of suspended banks re-
opening, of an increase In orders for
store goods. In the state Of mind of
year ago these reports would have
meant nothing. Now they tend to
Offset the calamity cries. Fair crops
are in prospect, and prohibitive prices
are not likely to prevail in any lines.
1t is safe to moderate our expecta-
lions, especially that form of Cp-
timism which leads to cashing expec-
tations in advance AS the Review
points out, false prosperity is calcu-
lated to do harm. There has been a
reign of luxurious living in this coun-
try unwarranted by the real condition
of things. If the hard times are not
real, the scare may be worth while II
1t makes the reckless ones more eau
tious. And false reports of prosperity
may do harm if they lead to more
recklessness.

SHERMAN, 10.

James S. Sherman, native of New
York city; representative in Congress
from New York state, with resi-
dence at Utica, lawyer, a Repblui-
can, 54 years Of age, a graduate of
Hamilton College, has been over
whelmingly nominated for the Vice
Presidency of the country. This is
the sum of Our knowledge, at this
writing What he has done to win
out in such huge proposition as a
Presidential nomination, aside from
having been born where he was, in
quite beyond us. We are taking alto
gether for granted, with the rest Of
Republican America, and letting it go
at that.
We are not able to say what
strength he adds to the Taft ticket;
we can guess, alright; but so can the
most Of our readers; and our guess is
worth no more than theirs Until
we know more, we respectfully re-
frain from criticizing Mr.. Sherman,
his sponsors, his nomination, or

grace and precision rarely met with

She was ably and conscientiously
supported by thoroughly balanced

Charles II, the merry Monarch,
gave spirited and delightful idea Of
the regal sportsman and gallant, and
brought back to many a forgetful

of the debonaire prince and king
Glenn Harper, as Lord Rochester,
the kings favorite was strong and in
teresting character and added in
dubitably to the success OF the even
ing. The part Of Sir Francis Jeffreys,
the great jurist of that day, fell to
Melvin Mayo and was thoroughly
well disposed OF; as was the grace
full, and superficial character OF

Geo. B. Berrell, an old Astoria favor

work as Percival, the strolling
player, and went to the good as
usual Paul McReynolds was decid-
edly interesting and made true and
telling Fairfax; while Jack Nc
Donald's Captain Lacy, was gen
timely appreciated.
c. H. Herman made an excellent
Rollins, and James c. Davis was
happily responsible for the clever
showing made by the Royal Guards
man, Clavering, while the aldermanic
honors were carried off by f. /, Will
son. Miss Leota Howard, as the
Duchess OF Portsmouth, the shrewd
and unscrupulous aristocrat was true
to life and the line that make for
some Of the surprises of the famous
old play. Miss Frances williamson,
as Lady Castlemain, and Miss Evelyn
Green, as Lady Olivia Vernon, were
excellent and dispensed the court1y
persihage Of their parts with ease and
success.
The whole affair was admirably
handled and put the troupe on GER
tain footing that will become more
friendly as the engagement pro-
crosses.

A "CANNY cHIEL."

There's chiel amang ye, takin'
notes" He is working out the prob
lem of the value of the stumpage of
the country. He works systemati-
cally scientifically, and his deductions
will be ESSENTIALLY reliable, whether
they be of practical value, or not.
DR.. Hawley, of the forestry service,
with his laboratory establish at the
Clatsop mills, is reducing the whole
available list of by-products of the
Oregon fir-stump to an analytical
basis and computation that will as
tonish the good folkes when the

wehther they shall pay or not. 1t is
clever proposition, whatever the
outcome, and shows that the Govern
ment is endeavoring to do something
OF practical and compensatory nature.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles - A Citizen of Astoria
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness; when
Urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it
is with all the other symptoms Of
kidney disorders That is just where
the danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead 10 dia-
betes or Bright's disease. The best
remedy to use is Doan's Kidney
Pills. 1t cures all ills which are
caused by weak or diseased kidneys.
Astoria people testify to permanent
cures.
Theodore Joscphson, SIS Seventh
street, Astoria, Ore, says: about
five years ago | used Doan's Kid
ney Pills and derived great bene-
fit, was suffering from severe
pains across my back and my loins
and at times was unable to stoop or
straighten. Ny kidneys also bother
ed me great deal, as the secretions
were generally too free in passing. At
last Doan's Kidney Pills we're
brought to my attention and ! pro-
cured box at Charles Rogers &
Sons drug store. began using them
and my health is now excellent |

THE WEATHER..
OREGON, WASHINGTON, ID
AHO:-Showers.
WITH THE SPELL-BINDERS.

Soon the season Of the spell-bindert
will be upon the country and the roa,
of the poltico-champion will drowr
the rest Of the mouthings wherewitt
the people are afflicted; of course the
spell-binder always belongs to the
other party; we don't stand for any
megaphonic fap-doodle ourselves; we
don't need it; our leader, our pro-
gram, our policies, our people, all are
beyond the pale of such raw
appenages.
There will be good four months
Of the deluge-and then the people
will go quietly to the polls and vote
as they always do at presidential
elections, for the party candidate,
And let it be understood that our
party, our candidate, and all he
stands for, is progress, and the per-
petuity thereof.
We don't know yet who is to be
lined up against Mr.. Taft; but it
makes no difference; whosoever it
shall be is destined to defeat; that
goes without saying, for to saying
anything else were treason; and
treason, Republican treason, in Ore
gon, for instance, is an unknown
quantity, saying nothing of its quail
ity. With $4,000 Republican majority
to deliver to Mr.. Taft on the 3rd of
November next, there is nothing to
worry US up in this far-away corner
nor to worry Mr.. Taft either, unless
it be the raw absurdity of Governor
Chamberlain's election; and that was
baked and stalled as long ago as last
January, in Portland. So we need no
spell-binders nor the lure thereof.
It's all right in Oregon, or will be in
November!.
