For imny years past the Salem statesman has come regularly to The Astorian, and we have heretofore re garded tt as a sincere newspaper, at all time aiming to advance the inter ests of Oregon. We have found It fatr In th past and have enjoyed Its honest comments on matters of public Inter est. But the. Statesman has retrograded In its issue of Thursday it contains an editorial entitled, "Astoria" Candi date," that Is so glaringly unfair, so plnpably uncalled for and so strjklngly dishonest that one can scarcely believe the Statesman responsible for it. The article Is in affect that the election of .Mr. Fulton to the United States sen ate msans the closing to navigation of the Columbia river above 'Astoria a condition that the interests of Astoria demand, and for which every Astorian has always contended! Read this from the Statesman: - There Is but one sentiment which actuates every Astorian. They are good people down there, but they win sacrifice everything else within the bounds of reason to whatever will further the Interests of their town. No one blames them for this, but when the growth of Astoria involves the shonllng of the Columbia river from the town, of Portland In order that it may become the seaport of Oregon, As toria's interests must be made subserv ient to those of the rest of the state. If the Columbia river were allowed to shoal from Portland to Astoria so that no deep sea vessel could come this side of that city, and a forty foot chan nel were maintained across the bar. It would necessitate the sending of all the immense business of the entire coun try by rail. The magical effect this would have on .Astoria's growth is too weH known to need more than a mere mention. And to do this ts the dream of every Astorian. And why shouldn't it be? In every controversy between Portia ad and the sound on the question of commercial interests, Astoria papers universally take sides against Portland. The reason is plain. At this time every Astorian, even those Who for ages have fought Mr. Fulton bitterly, is shouting for his el ection. The Astoria people are a tmtt against the Improvement or the river above Astoria. The sentiment there ts universal n the belief that Astoria Is the natural seaport for the state and that the effort to maintain Portland's supremacy in that regard Is an arbi trary, distortion of natural conditions. Everybody knoows this, and no one knows it better than the people of Portland. . In answer to all this Mr. Fulton says: "Have I not repeatedly declared my belief that the Columbia river Should be opened to the sea?" This Is true, but how are we to know? There are Astoria's interests, which all point the other way, and so do all of Astoria's people. So the Statesman believes, with the Orejonlan, that Mr. Fulton should not be electei to the United States senate because he lives at Astoria? Well, this Is a surprise; We had all along thought that the Statesman was too loyal the interests of its own city to father the sectional strife that the Oregonian has attempted to create, and even now we doubt its sincerity in thus attacking Senator Fulton. Resort to "argument" of this sort shows up the weakness of '.he Statesman's contention for Governor Geer, and makes It plain that the capital city paper is In sorry straits for campaign thunder. The Astorian knows whereof it fpeaks when it says that the Statesman departs from the truth in insisting that every Astorliip wants the Colum bia river closed- above Astoria. At times during the great common point discussion an agitation that was car ried on as much for the benefit of the city of Salem as for that of the city of Astoria it was stated that the people of Oregon would be the better off if the Columbia river terminated at Tongue point, but there ha never been any an tagonism to Improvement of the river above Astoria. The matter of the ex tension of terminal rates to this city has rested solely with the railroads, whose refusal to accede to Astoria's j dumand for recognition has. settled the question definitely. ' When Mr. FuHon is elected to me United States senate, let us have the Statesman understand, he will repre sent all of Oregon. He will work as faithfully for the necessary river ap 5illpE propriation as for the bar appropria tion. He will not go to Washington to represent Astoria alone, as the Statesman would make it appear, but to advance the interests of all the peo ple of the state. To oppose his can didacy on the ground that he Is a sec tional candidate is downright dlrfion est. and the Statesman has ample reas on to be ashamed of Itself for thus re sorting to low methods, for a Job lot of German claims,!"" The United States is the only coun try on earth that produces such men as Minister Rowen. In handling the vexatious Venezuelan matter for the South American republic he has stamp- ; ed himself a diplomat quite capable of successful contention with the wily representatives of Great Rritnln, Ger many and Italy. He is endowed with that frt-eat quality peculiar to Ameri cans the propensity that won the Rev olutionary war and the unpleasantness of 1S12-14 backbone. Efforts to intim idate him are vain. Great Britain, Ger many and Italy would be only too hap py to pronounce Bowen's a case of that popular German ailment, lese rriajeste, and quarantine him accordingly, but with the moral backing of his Uncle 'Samuel our Caracas representative feels quite secure in his position. In an in direct way the three creditor powers are seeking to discredit Monroeism, de spite contrary disclaimers. It is great ly to the displeasure of the trlumverate that the United States' notice "keep off!" remains tacked up la a conspicu ous manner in South America, and ev erything possible to weaken our posi tion will of course be done. But Mr. Bowen is equal to the occasion. He has figured out a fair plan of reim btirsinj the creditors of Venezuela, but lie will not permit of the disintegra tion of that republic, which has all along been isslduously sought. His ultimatum to the world is that free dom shall not lose its identity in the western hemisphere, and that those who do not take kindly to our ideas of government may avail themselves of the alternative of coping with white painted vessels of war. A few days ago Miss Sadie Sharp (aged 14) of Portsmouth, a Portland suburb, mysteriously disappeared from her home during the absence of her parents, causing the mmuch anguish. Three days later, after the neighbors had scoured the country for miles around looking for the lost child, Sadie telephoned her papa that she had found a position as nurse girl in a Portland home. She said she did not realize that her absence would cause alarm, and therefore did not notify her parents. Saiie needs a spanking, and she needs it badly. A child of 14 Is not supposed to be capable of making her own way in the world, but she is certainly presumed to fce endowed with enough Intelligence to know that a mysterious disappearance would pro voke some slight interest, particularly in hor own household. The half world is full of girls who, like Sadie, Rave disregarded home ties, and Mr. Sharp Is Indeed fortunate that he found hts child in- a respectable home. However, Sadie should be soundly spanked. A San Francisco exchange of Janu ary 29 reports a list of sales of AlasKa Packers' association shares, including 150 at $152.50, a heavy decline from pric es lately ruling for this stock. We are not at all surprised at this decline in the face of the poor showing of their affairs In the annual statement recently Hssued, connlel with the fact of tht-lr selling pink Alaska salmon at $2 per case and ohums at $1.50 per case prices whl'h must leave a tremendous loss even if thy got the fish for nothing.
