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 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
