TeWeene Main Ml PRESS AND PROTECTION. la fulfilling its mission of (Wine to the world Jay by day the history of the preceding 24 hours, the reput able daily newspaper often omits ' many Hems which among certain clas ses might add to that sptce which is the variety of news as of life, but the "responsible ditor never rorgets tnst li. has a responsibility of no small weight, and therefore refrains from publishing not a few pieces of intelli gence simply from the fact that abso- lute confirmation may not at the mo ment be obtainable, and he prefers to retain a name for reliability and ac curacy rather than cultivate a question able reputation for enterpris?. This fact, however, of self-restrain In hold ing his pace when he might even without straining a point, cater to the curiosity and inqulsitivfnes of his readers, is of itself grea.ly In bis fa vor when he does speak, for the utter ances of one with authority and the readers of his journal recognlsi the ract that whatever he prints has been carefully considered, passed upon with deliberation by critical minds and is, therefore prepared to stand th tent or tn Keenest scrutiny. Several notable Instances have re cently beet) furnished of the value of legitimate newspaper enterprise and methods by which the rich corpora tions, no matter of what character, are fact only proves how large Is the claw whoa views cf life and the doings ol the world are circumscribed by neigh borbood lines. Publicity prevents crime. The maxim Is true in a gen eral apDllcatlon. but the kind of pub licity afforded by the aensa'.lonal Journal and the novelist who revel in stories of criminals and their ways, is fa more Irkely to foster than to hinder the p?rptratlon of criminal acts. When a train robber becomes a bandit king boys and young men cf criminal tendencies will asplra to no toriety as train robbers. How many boys and young men hav thus ben deliberately and carefully educated as professional criminals la difficult to say, but the process Is still going on and the criminal class Increased. It la a matter of record that most ot the crimes committed In Astoria, and In Portland, ara by young men. whose education was acquired by reading the Hearst system of yellow journals. Contrast the difference in the elevat ing and refining and almost absolute accurate matter contained Jn the Ore- goinlan and that contained in tne kx- amlner. Portland Journal, or any or the o her Hearst Journals. The Ore gonian Is found in the homes of the intelligent and refined, and the other papers have their risders from the lower and vicious flment. Xot but some of the better class read sensa tional Journals, but they read them for rule in seaport cities, whose popula tion Is compost d of all classes and conditions of people, Increase In popu lation Is attended by an Increase In crime but th Inverse obtains In As toria. Another reason for the pres nt pros perity la the enlargement of the mer cantile establishments, comparing favorably with the same tins In Port land. Time was when a large propor tion of the population did the most ot their trading In Portland, whereas to day most of It Is done with the home merchant, and a large volume ol money Is Irpt at home tn the leglti mate channels ot trade. No city can prosper when the money Is constantly sent out of the city for supplies and necessaries that can be purchased a home. The Astorlan justly, too, claims credit for the Increase In population and wealth. It Is the, only newspaper that has contained descriptive articles on Astoria and CT tsop county, and Its wide circulation has given publicity to the many natural advantagea and re sources and the opportunities for 1e gttlmat Investment, and this has b?n done without a dollar of recompense, escpt by Increased advertising and aubscrlpttoi patronage, showing that Us efforts have been appreciated.

ASTORIA'S PROSPER1TT. Not a prosperity created by a flc- enabled to accumulate wealth greater jtltlous boom In wild cat speculation. than the dream of avarice could tm- but a boom of genuine, steady growth. in the home. The homes of Astoria could be made brighter and better and the boys and girls more, honorable ana useful members of society. If more care were exercised In the selection of the rea ling matter. Only the high est standard Of school books are per mitted In the public schools and why should not the same rule apply to the home? . agine. In every case of Investigation tt has appeared that the money was made by methods which the directors aid managers were anxlods to ke?p secret. It is impossible to believe that the vast fortunes accumulated by the managers of trust operations could be honestly acquired and the general im pression of dishonesty is strengthened by every fresh elrvation.

P. A, STOKES Keeps a Dressy Shop for Dressy People. in arjywhere but on the tlnuing today. The population of the .head. city has Increased more than one third during the past five year. There have bien more men, representing capital, visited Astoria this spring in efforts at concealment are of little search of investment, than at any time avail, however, against th; enterprise (during the past five years. Astoria is and industry of an honet prtss en- jfiiwlly recovering rrom tne amas.rous recent tornado. They evidently pro deavoring to get the truth, for in onejeffects of the speculation in wild cat pose to get even with Ood Almighty way or ano her the facts are extri-jlots of 10 ysars ago, which has donetfor sending that cyclone to Kaniws. According to thj dispatches in yes terday'a Astorlan .the women of To ronto, Kan., have applied to John D Rock' feller for money to rebuild theit church, which was blown down by the cated from even the most resultant trust magnate, and when thy are the panic among evil doers of high station is just as pronounced as when a Jour nal of low degree expos?s the short comings of petty officials or divulges the hiding place of a gang of house breakers. . There Is. however, as anyone . can readily observe, a marked difference In the handling of what may be called sensational news, just as there is In electing what matter that shall be printed. "He may run that readeth." the) headlines of the yilow Journal when It treats Its readers to a sensa tion or when It endeavors to make a eVjsatlonl out of an occurrence of trivial Importance, whereas th re putable paper treats the same affair with due regard, not only to its rela- more to Injure the city and retard its p; ogress than any other known cause. Astoria is becoming essentially a city of home builders which makes sta- blSl.y and creates a solid foundation for future greatness, while its popu lation Is essentially cosmopolitan, yet the element that once controlled the business and political affairs of the city Is being supplanted by the re finement and intelligence of the new comers and a notable chaneg has taken place which is felt In th; church and social life. This influx of the more moral and refined class has shown Its effsct upon the criminal element that years ago mad Astoria notorious an J which It has taken y'ars to overcome. There are fewer crimes committed in Clatsop county today than in any county of Its size in the state;. As a Two highwaymen wore nrrrstJ seme tlm ago In Poitland wearing evening dress and the papers made a grat hullibo about It.
