THE FRATERNITIES

Human society is the better for the
great fraternities!.
This is proven by the perpetuity Of
the fraternal schemes, and the good
faith wherewith they, severally, and
collectively, contribute to the peace
progress, and pride OF those elements
which sponsor them and make them
what they are, the refugees and eenters
for better thinking and happier assoc
iations. And the foundation of these
noble attributes is the lofty plain on
which nearly all orders stand and the
wide knowledge of this high predicate
among those on the outside; they are
rarely ever misconstrued or question
ed, though at times extraordinary adj
vantages are taken Of them in their
organic workings for some selfish end
which succeeds because il is unsus-
pected in such spheres.
The desire of men and women to
get away from the masses of their
fellows and follow out cherished and
admirable aims and pursuits, too
high and clean for the common run Of
people, is another reason why these
orders flourish so abundantly; they
are safe in such circle to devise and
discuss and do those things for the
general up-lift which they cannot do
in the open without inevitable and
hurtful gossip and wanton imepdi-
ment.
The man who uniformly condemns
the Secret order" of the day is Of
the specific few who has never passed
! the barriers, for sound reasons; and
his word for anything concerning
them is worthless, always. The
world need never fear the fraternities;
they stand for far more in the way Of
goodwill and honor and civic peace
and order than can ever be accounted
them; and in the matter of the unre'
vealed, private and endless personal
! good they do, that is simply incalcul'
able.
Astoria has her quota Of these
splendid social and civic auxiliaries
and they are growing and expanding
daily and yearly, to the immense and
unremitting good of the city and sec
ton.

conclusion Of its unhtness to do its
own lighting for place and success.
No community, in which the priv
ate claim is allowed to usurp the pub
lie advantage. may ever hope to
achieve anything, save what the out.
slider may come in and CLEAN for him
self; and he must be immune to the
effects Of the selfish concentration
that makes his entry possible; he
must have breadth and courage in
vulnerable against the preying, par
alyxing pettiness Of the "one-man-and
that's-me" program that shuts many
a town off from the cherry interest of
the outside world.
The rule OF concession, OF striking
balances, Of merging ones claims in
the larger and soldier public concern,
is imperative, and perfectly just No
man ever succeeds alone, in any en-
terpriSe nor in any ambitious project;
he must call on his, fellows some
where along the line; it is one Of the
social and industrial laws. and he who
would break it. or ignore it, is taught
his lesson before he proceeds far on
his self-centered, isolated idea Of pro-
gress, Human society is constitution
ally arranged for unity and success
and rarely ever fails. But the man
who puts his own interest above the
common cause is failure, per Sc, and
must be so rated until he is taught his
lesson thoroughly; and the lesson
never fails to fall to the man who
hinders or seeks to hinder. OF
course. there are no such people in
Astoria nor Clatsop county; that IS
one Of our proudest boasts; and this
suggestion is made merely to accentu-
ate this fact. We have to play up our
virtues once in a while, or we would

THE REAL IMPETUS.

There is one deduction to be made
from the almost universal success OF
the prohibition movement in the
United tastes and that is that the real
impetus behind the crusade and its
wide achievement is less matter OF
LIQUOR than Of license. In other words.
the people are hedging more against
the raw effrontry of the saloon influ-
ence in business and politics and com.
munal concerns, than they are against
the physical and moral results direct
from liquor itself; though both are
tremendous in their ways. The peo-
pie are really affrighted at the auda.

loon in civic life, and knowing that

EDISON GETS A JOLT
Famous Suit Against Inventor And
Associates, Is Compromised.


NEWARK N. J., April i0-Thomas
A. Edison has settled for $4S0000 the
suit for breach Of contract brought
against him BY the New York Phono-
graph Company. In addition his
counsel has signed an agreement to
settle approximately seven hundred
suits brought by the New York comp
any against dealers in that state, The
amount involved in the settlement OF
these and the principal suit is approx
imately 100000. The settlement
was reached after an all night con-
ference in this city preliminary to
which there were negotiations OF sew
eral weeks duration during which the
wires we're kept busy between Orange
N. J., and Mr.. Edison's Winter home
in Florida.
The suit was for the territorial
rights for the sale of Edison phono-
graphs and photographic SUPPLIES in
New York State II was begun in 1901
"A similar suit for territorial rights to
New England states is now pending
in the courts. An injunction was
granted recently in the New York
Courts so restraining Mr.. Edison and
his associates that settlement was
necessary.

NEW YORK, April l0.-The week
before Easter is always the critical
period for spring and summer fash
ions for, not until then, arc all doubts
as to the styles to be worn during the
coming season completely removed.
This year the uncertainty was even
greater than in other years, owing to
the fact that it was practically impos-
sible to forsee what changes would be
made. Now the last word has been
spoken and the result OF the style ev-
olution may be contemplated with
some degree Of composure.
In a general way it may be said
that, although the frocks shown in
the fashionable shops during the past
week departed but little from the
styles OF the season just ended, the
models which the knowing importers
have chosen for the basis Of their
spring and summer trade sound GER
tain notes OF change, subtle in many
instances, but insistent. There can be
no doubt. after viewing the displays
in the various shops that the days Of
the scant Directoire frock with its
minimum of material are over and that
there will be no resurrection at least
for some time.
However, the changes in the models
are slight, so slight in fact that a
really good frock built on winter lines
but not too extreme, will not be en-
tirely out Of style in the spring and
may even pass muster in the summer
Many can be completely modernized
by slight changes and rearrange-
ment Of the decorative features.
While the changes noticeable are in
most cases, slight and subtle, there
are also many models to be seen,
which show radical departures from
the winter styles. The long, sharp
bodice front the full skirt, the fichu,
the elbow sleeve are all to be seen,
but they represent only the extreme
styles effected by some woman, more
daring than the rest,
Only the exceptional model dis
plays its new fulness frankly, in soft
falling folds all around the skirt, but
the fulness creeps in in one way or
another in soft clinging drapery, in
plaits or hounces set into clinging
skirts, in yoke and aounce effects, or
in narrow shirred backs combined
with plain front and side lines. This
last arrangement is the compromise
which is likely to be most generally
accepted for spring and summer n
marks the frock as essentially Of the
new seasons vintage, and yet it does
not depart 50 radically from accus-
toned lines as 10 seem conspicuous or

pride that they hoisted the flag up

Mr.. Jones met many prominent Jap

will never go to war with the United
States, for the name of America is
to them something to revere, in that
they owe their present high position in
world affairs to the paternal influence
of the American Republic. Mr.. Jones

"People in Japan are not sympa-
thizing with the strike" said Elmer
B. Jones, a prominent resident of Salt
Lake City, who was passing through
on the Tenyo Maru yesterday. 1.-The
only doubt came into their minds when
cabled news reached them that the Ha-
waiian authorities had visited the
homes of large number of Japanese. -
From what Mr.. Jones says, the read
ers of the japanese newspapers IN
Japan were evidently under the i'm.
preston that the domiciliary visits
to the Offices of Maxine and Negoro
and the Nippu Jill were visits to the
rooms of all the strikers. Before he
left, he believes, this impression had
been dispelled.
Mr.. Jones was accompanied to the
Far East by his wife, who is prominent
in woman s club circles in Salt Lake
City. They visited sections of japan
seldom invaded by white people, and
one such trip was taken, IN small
yacht, ON an inland sea TO an Isolated
islet where no white woman had ever
been seen before. The news spread
aud before long tleei OF sampani
