Mankind is taught from early child hood of a beautiful city not made with bands, whose streets ara paved with gold and the gates thereof are pre cious stones. It is represented aa the home of the blessed when the earth shall have passed away. Ita radUnt beauty Is portrayed In scripture and song as an inducement for all to lead a life that will ensure thtm entrance to that beautiful city. Nothing more grander or beautiful has ever been pictured and is an Incentive for every one to be admitted within the pearly gates. On earth there' is an earthy some, and the more beautiful It and Its surroundings are, the more do peo ple strive to emulate the example of the home builder. A house may not bo large or elaborately furnished, but It can be made Invltftig. It is not dlffl eult to ascertain where ths people of the happy and contented reside In the city, for sunshine and happiness Is portrayed in the green velveted lawns; the beautiful climbing vines inter ; twined with rosea and flowers, the lawn profuaey decorated with shrub- i bery that la admired by everyone. At- 1 tracts ev homes make a beautiful city and beautiful cltlea are peopled with ; nappy and prosperous people. ' What Is true of the home, ought to be true of the pubic buildings and grounds and especially the cemetery's where the departed ones are sleeping the sleep that knows j no waken ing until they are called to appear be fore the Judgment seat. The efforts of the Astoria Women's Club to have Hillside cemetery placed in a more humanitarian appearance Is worthy of the noble women who have banded to gether for the purpose of making As toria a beautiful city. There are many wealthy people 'in the east who will come west this summer and fall look ing for a home on the Pacific ocean ' away from the rigors of winter and the dangerous winds that prevail In many . cf the sections of the eastern coun try. These' pecpe Judge a city by its homes. If the horn? are picturesque and beautiful, presenting an Inviting appearance, that Is the city in which they will locate and these- facts ought to be an inducement for th people of Astoria to beautify their homes, and those In authority to see that the school grounds and the cemetery's are j made Just as attractive. j Astoria has many handsome real-1 dences. There is a wonderful differ- j ence between Astoria of today and Astoria of 10 years ago. There is also a difference In its population; In pub lic sentiment; in the morals of the community and In Its educational facil ities, In the number and attendance ot Its churches and In Its general pros- Now is Oxford Time To our customers who know the character and quality of our goods, the prices quoted below will appeal very strongly.

It has an organ isation that la planting the steels for a progressive city In th future, in the education of the people up to the necessity of civic Improvement which Is the foundation for beautiful homes. Sitting on a peninsula, overlooking the arand Columbia, with a view of old ocean In the dlstaonce, surrounded by the never fading green tree, nature has favored Astoria aa an Ideal spot for homes, When all the realdenee Are painted a pure whit: when the yards and gardens are profusely deco rated with beautiful flowers, then will it be a city for the axllst; the poet and all lov?rs of nature In Its tran- sendent and picturesque environments. CORRUPT MUNICIPALITIES. Political corruption exists in all the large cities of the United 8tatea. The political organisations of those cities, weather under democratic or repub lican rule, breed boodlers and graft ers aa fleas do their kind. Philadel phia la In the thro?s of a gas scandal that would make Boss Tweed green with envy. The exact amount that la to be paid the city for a 75-yar lease is $75,000,000, the exact amount be ing known, but the amount paid the corrupt city legislators will probably never be known. New York city Is under the control of Tammany, one of the most corrupt political organiaa tion In the world's history. One half of the tax?a paid by the people go Into the pockets of Tammany chieftains, and nine out of every ten of the New York millionaires made their money out of New York polities, San Francisco has unearthed a scan dal, aa gigantic In proportion aa was New York under the dictatorship of Boss Tweed. A month ago Edward J. Smith, the tar collector, skipped out. He was a defaulter and an embesxler. He was captured In St. Louis and brought back to the city to stand trial. Attorneys' had been engaged for his defense, when all of a sudden he de cided to plead guilty and ' was eem tenced to Folsom for ten vears. While there was no question of his guilt, yet with the moneyed power of San Fran cisco behind him, he stood an oppor tunity of escaping punishment for his crlmea, but there was another ele ment to consider. Many of the prom inent bankers of that city wera par- tlclpas crimlnas, and a trial which would bring out the facts would Im plicate them In one of the most gigan tic swindles ever perpetrated In that city. ' ' Prominent bankers; members of the "swell 400," prominent in society. In church. In state and In business, all gamblers and speculators, corrupting a city official by the payment of 2 per cent interest for money belonging to the city, loaned by them for gam bling and speculation. There Is al ways a time in every man's life when "murder will cut" It came to the bankers of Ban Francisco, who, not daring to use any of the bank funds to make up for the losses sustained, made a criminal out of a man they had used as a tool; Induced him to abscond with the hopes that he would never be captured, and when captured induced him to plead guilty and serve 10 years in a penitentiary, while, the biggest criminals unhung are allowed to go scott; free and ply their nefar ious vocations. It Is not strange that public opln Ion "Is being educated up to the be 11 -i that courts are corrupted; that they are purchased by the wealthy to shield them fro mthelr crimes; that the money of wealthy men is tainted, and that the fashionable society of the large cities , is recking with cor ruption and hypocrisy, and the young boys of the land are educated as crim inals where outlawry Is more of an Incentive than honorable manhood. Christ died to save sinners, and Slmth went to prison to save criminals. . - o Beaver Lodge No. 35, I. O. 0. F.
