ESSENTIALLY VALUABLE
Astoria has a very definite in
terest in the success of the ITey
burn Pure Food bill now being
considered by Congress, and pend
ing in the Senate. Among its hun
dred, or more, sensible and whole'
some provisions, is one that re
quires t. t no goods on the Ameri
can market shall enter the trade of
the country under any other label
than the one that belongs upon it ;
in other words, inferior stuff shall
not go out under false pretenses
to befuddle and swindle the ordi
nary buyer; that staple goods shall
reach the retail consumer under
legitimate brands and save him
the imposition and deliberate
"hold-up" of buying something
' cheap and ordinary at a prime
goods price. This city and section
is famous the wide-world over as
the habitat and marketing source
for the finest salmon in existance;
and the law in question will com
pel the Royal Chinook fish to ap
pear in its own palatable shape,
with the Puget Sound and Alaska
products similarly labeled, so the
public shall know just what it is
getting and paying for; and sal
mon is but one of a hundred thou
sand other specialties amenable to
the. same treatment. All this, of
course, being dependable upon the
structure of the bill itself. If it
shall be so drawn as to preclude
evasion and withstand contest and
be invulnerable against the wiles
of the American wholesaler who
indulges in devious methods, well
and. good; but if it shall not be
the efficacious law it is presumed
to be, then it were better left alone
But the presumption is wholly in
its favor at present.
QUITE METROPOLITAN
"Who says Astoria is behind the
swing of the age ? Has 'nt she got
two departmental investigations in
full play, and some to come?
Has't she just deposed one of her
city officials? Ilas'nt she got four
live improvement clubs? And a
fine skating rink popularly patron
ized? She may need a few baga
telles such as a modern hostlery, a
seawall, an electric motor line to
Seaside and Fort Stevens, a brass
band, a municipal park, and a
transcontinental terminal ; but
these are all on the way, some of
them in plain sight, and the dust
of the others rising on the horizon.
.Astoria's all right 1
ENCOURAGEMENT NEEDED
There are indubitable signs about
the city that the improvement elubs
arc taking hold of the work thev
have cut out for themselves, mid
the City of Astoria can congratu
late herself on the possession of
such agencies as these in the main
tenance of her civic cleanliness.
But the city must be very careful
that she does not lie idly by and
permit the notion to get abroad
that she is relying on her "clean
up clubs," to do ALL the work of
municipal sprucing. She must give
governmental assurance that she
appreciates the work of her citi
zens, done on their own initiative,
and require her street department
to do its share, and give that de
partment enough laborers to make
good on the proposition. The im
provement clubs are entitled to,
and are receiving, encouragement
on all silk's.
