, MR. SMITH COMPLAINS.
We respectfully suggest to City At
torney A. M. Smith, the guiding spirit
and responsible bos of the Democratic
line-up in the present city campaign,
that the Tuttle charter bill with its al
leged fault, contained one supreme fea
ture that redeemed it from criticism,
in every one's eyes but hi, and which
would have saved Astoria $1500 per an
num, and endless electoral controversies,
and that was the provision that merg
ed all election under one date, a pro
riaion that did not suit Mr. Smith a
little bit, and for fear of which, Mr.
Smith in hi subsequent dickering
amendments of the charter overcame
witi the ordained arrangement for his
own election in the off years, in order
that it might attract less public atten
tion and controversy and give him a
practical life-lease upon the position
He is responsible for the charter as it
stands and is also resposible for the con
elusion he himself has reached and de
chuvd that it is not ample in it
strength to enable the city to with-
eUnd. In the local courts, any resist ful
pressure from the fcluin element when
legal attack is contemplated. It is
poor charter that will not protect it
own city against the evil extravagances
ot it own ftlums, and Mr. Smith' can
dor in the premises 1 equaled only by
the ahamelessnm of a situation so ob
Tkmaly and illegally bed. He has not
much to be proud of. And he hat less
to be conceited over in hi mental re
view of hi own ambiguous situation,
when he, the paid legal attorney of the
City of Astoria, appeared in the Cir-
garly, mere treacherous and more com
plete than it own record entitles it
to. Be careful how you vote, and vote
with your party.

ONE LAST WORD.
The Morning Astorian claims one last
word with the voters of this city. There
has been nothing anihiff" "" umior
nanded in the stand this paper has tak
en in the present municipal tight
against the Democratic challenge for a
"Wide Open Town"; it ha not been
over-gentle with some people and it has
been conspicuously plain with all ; the
full statu of the campaign has been
exploited in unequivocal fashion, and
the Issues remain as they were; the
Republican claims have been set forth
ia uncompromising terms and the Dem- aml the nun or lov wh0 on
ocratic program has received all the at- hi, w unJ,r a conditions had a
tention that was it due; this papWtU-r set of back. Ieff and arm muscle
a . t . a i a I v
na notnmg to reiraci, to revamp, to tlian a Vale orsman.Ex
alter; and it has no apologies to make;
it still stands for the regulated city as
against the unlicensed licentiousness
proposed by the Democratic outfit; it
will be found in that position at all
times in the future and ready for any
fight that may arise on this issue; it
stands for a decent, wholesome city of
repute amcng its fellows of the State,
and it stands for the defeat of the
Democratic ticket and all it means,
This paper is Republican.
ing, when, pivoted on the inverted apex
of our anatomy, we pulled 490 pounds
on each strap of the. wet boot with one

culture contains anything like it It is
what gave the oM pioneers their set,
determined expression, and develoved
their quality of "staying with it. The
onlv drawlJ rrom tne one on
the boot was that where the strain ex
ceeded 5)0 pounds to each finger, and
the view of the kitchen door knob was
obstructed, it was liable to make a fel
low cross-eyed. The steadying influence
of the door knob safeguarded against
this while to allow the eyes to roam

did not in any manner offset the ad

Let Me Tell
You Something
Traveler to the Eait, I have a word for you :
There are through Pullman sleepers, both
Standard and Tourist, going East from the
Coast at frequent intervals. Over two routes
they travel via Rock Island System for good
share of the distance.
" You can go by way of Ogden, Salt Lake and
Colorado, or you can go by way of San Francisco,
Los Angeles and El Paso, and the Rock Island
will land you in Kansas City, St. Louis or Chi
cago. Direct connection in Union Stations at
all three cities for all important points In the
East and South.
Or the traveler via Northern route can take
the Rock Island from Minneapolis and St Paul '
to Chicago.
Rock Island service is the kind that gratifies
