THE ASTORIAN PUBLISHING CO.,
"ASTORIA aids Home Industry" is
the glaring headline published In a
Portland paper over an article detail
ing the reported "new ruling" of the
municipal government to protect local
gamblers against visiting players. ' If
the municipal authorities woull lend
their efforts to the support of legiti
mate home industries their time wouli
be better occupied, and the city would
not -ret so much unpleasant notoriety
from Its neighbors The time is now
ripe to put an end to the careers of
officials who curry favor with the law
less element "Whether or not the city
derives a large revenue from the para
sites who live on the earnings of the
workingman should make no difference
Municipal prosperity tounded on the
earnings of fallen, women, gamblers
and gambling devices spells ruination
to the morals of a city, and there nev
er was an instance where Fuoh pros
perity survived the wave of public In
dignation once it began to surge. In
etoad of "protecting" the resident
gamblers by the reported contemplated
method of collecting fines six months
In advance from the visitors it would
be a better idea to deny the so-called
visitors the privilege of robbing the
people at all. This would be the first
step In the direction of eradicating the
evil entirely. There are enough houses
of prostitution, gamblers and their like
in Astoria at the present time without
encouraging more The city reeks with
their unsavory methods; they are "a
blot on the city and an insult to the
sterling citizenship that Is building up
the city by the expenditure of time,
energy, brains and money in legitimate
enterprises We can picture the sar
casm that enspired the author of the
lines "Astoria Aids Home Industry!"
T m hnrw that the city officials will
think again before they decide on the
rumored process of protection.
'
TllE supreme court of the state of
Oregon has handed down a decision to
the effect that a tax title is inferior
in rank to a prior existing mortgage
on the., same property This decision
ends a controversial point 'that has
been argued before the lower courts on

numerous occasions. Jiulge McBrlde
of our own circuit court passed on a
similar question on one occasion, find
ing that the tax lien was subordinate.
This has been affirmed by the high
court. The Portland Oregonian says
In regard to the decision: The decis
ion of the supreme court wilt affect
a great number of pending cases where
mortgages existed on properties that
had been sold for taxes before 1901.
The law In this state in relation to this
matter was changed by the Legislature
in 1501. which passed an act which
specifically provides that a tax title
tak's precedence over .iH mortgage
judgments and other Hens The 1901
statute only applies to property sold
for taxes since that year In the case
just decidedly the supreme court the
property was sold before that time.
The 1901 law has not been tested In
the courts, but probably will be some
day.
THE people of the entire state are
fully aroused to the importance of the
problam awaiting solution as to
whether a State building shall be erec
ted at St. Louis to house part of our
exhibit. 'All of whit" proves ' how
keenly alive the people of Oregon are
to the importance of the great exposi
tion, and also how anxious they are
that the state should be fittingly, repre
sented on the grounds. Eliminating
the stern fact that the state cannot
afford to erect a" building out of the
appropriation, it is generally conceded
that Oregon visitors to St Louis would
feel more at home could they go to a
building displaying the crest of the
tommonwealth over its entrance. They
prefer jo be loats rather than guests.
OLD time kisVing games were played
nt a patty of "Grown-ups"' in St.
Louis lately and the people outside of
Mrs. Grundy's select Four Hundred
re . shocked, of course. Anybody
who" objects to "going back to the
good old days of childhood" must be
narrow. Then again, perhaps the
shocked ones were Jealous that they
couldn't get in and participate in the
Clap in md Out," Forfeits.-' "Wade
the Swamp" and other old time kissing
games .

NEWSPAPERS no longer wait for
the death of a prominent man before
