DUTY OF CITIZENS.
It seems almost incredible, that a
large majority of the citizens of Clat
sop county lose sight of the duty im
posed upon them at all general elections
and more particularly in local elections
in which every citizen has, or should
have an interest. It is an undisputed
fact, that Clatsop county on a strict
party vote, h Republican by not less
than five hundred. It is also a fact,
that owing to the alienation of Repub
lican votes to the Democratic party, that
party has been able to secure a large
percentage of the offie-s of the county.
Not that they are any better qualified
to fill the positions, or arc Utter citi
zens, but it is a noticable fact, that the
l.-a-t indiscretion on the part of Repub
lican office holders, forms an excuse for
many Republicans to forsake their party
and asi-ist in electing Democrats to
office. The Democrats, as a history of
the city and county has abundantly
provn. may be ju-t as derelict, but all
the dissenion seems to exi-t in the
ranks of the Republicans. The Demo
crats, or citizens as they are sometimes
euphoniously called always pre-ent a
solid front, and with the assistance of
sordid and disgruntled Republicans, suc
ceed in elevating men to office who have
no political title to the same.
The importance of the ensuing June
election should be made apparent to the
rank and file of the Republican party.
Four years ago, the state administra
tion was turned over to the Democrats,
by the assistance of Republican votes.
The people have derived no benefit from
the administration which has been con
ducted solely in the interests of the
Democratic party and with an earnest
endeavor of continuing the party in
power. With the assistance of Repub
licans a Democratic governor in a state
that has a nominal majority of at least
30,000, was given the privilege of ap
pointing a Democratic member of the
United States Senate to succeed a Re
publican. The Democratic party is not
responsible for this, but the Republi
cans who made it possible to elect a
Democratic governor are wholly to
blame.
The same issue presents itself at the
June election. If the Republicans of
the state are united, there can be but
one result. The entire Republican state
ticket will be elected. If the Republi
cans of Clatsop county are united, there
will be but one result ; the election of
the entire county and legislative ticket,
Clatsop county has been honored by
having a secretary of state and a United
States Senator in Congress, Xo greater
advertisement for the county could have
been achieved, but right here is where
the duty of Republicans enters, and
everyone knows that it is a matter of
policy to be in accord with the adminis
tration, in order to secure appropria
tions for our iiei- mid limboi, flat -M.p

The Good Wrought

LOOKING SEAWARD.
That eastern capitalists have learned
something of the vast resource- of As
toria and Clatsop County, is evidenced
by the fact that a numb r of capital
ists have recently made inx estjiients
here, and others are making inquiries
as to the feasibility and advisibility of
securing locations. Whether this fact
is due to the Lewi- and Clark fair, or
to judicious advertising on the part of
commercial bodies is of little importance
suffice to -ay, however, there is a move
ment on the part of astern manufactur
ing enterprises to secure privileges in
the west that have become dormant in
the ca-t by reason of the absorption of
the timber lands and the denuding of
the many forests. Clatsop county fur-nishe-.
many inducements to eastern
capital and its valuable resource- are
certain to b- utilized in the near fu
ture. o
Mr. Morley, the Secretary of State for
India, has a personal opinion that an
Iriii parliament would be a good thing.
As -non as the per-mia! opinion of the
Seci-tary foi' Ireland i heard on a par
liament for Indi-i, the (ioxeriirnent can
go ahead.
Education is a man's birthright. A
sound mind in a sound body, trained
faculties responsive to the will, an out
look upon life, a knowledge of the past,
skill to forecast in some measure to fu
ture preparation tto live a cinpletej
life, all these ai the rightful heritage
of every man's soul; and upon society
rests the responsibility to furnish the
opportunity to attain them.
DECIDE YOURSELF.
The Opportunity is Here, Backed by
Astoria Testimony.
Don't take our word for it.
Don't depend on a stranger's state
ment. Read Astoria endorsement.
Read the statements of Astoria citi
zens And decide for yourself.
Here is one case of it:
E. C. Ruland, printer, living on Astor
street, Astoria, Ore., says:
"I have tried several guaranteed kid
ney cures but consider Doan's Kidney
Pills the best and highly recommended
the remedy to my friends, My trouble
had bothered me off and on for many
years. I had pain in the small of my
back, sharp twinges when stopping or
lifting and the aching bothered me a
groat deal at night. I was tired, languid
and very nervous, but since using Doan's
Kidney Pills J have not had these ner
vous spells nor the headaches I used to
suffer from. The results have been a
great improvement in the condition of
the kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
Pills have been o great a help that I
iif continuing with them, and feel -ure
of relief whenever suffering from these
troubles."

11 K last ilwiulo has croatoil u rlassx of moil prnctiViilly un
known iitul miiVlt in tin1 en tiro previous history of the ro
pulilie. Tliev tiro popularly chisscil us niptuins of industry,
and, however justly their methods may lo criticised ut
times, they have done more to hasten the advancement of
industry, commerce and trade in this country than has ever been ac
complished UY AM. ITS STATKSMAXshll' of the past. They
are shinini: examples of the wonderful opportunity our free govern
ment offers to even its humblest citizens. Most of theiu -indeed all of
them, so far as I know - are the sole architects of their own fortunes.
They sprang from the ranks of the people, from close to Mother Karth,
hut in their early struggles, when friendless and fortuneless, they pos
sessed the genius and intelligence to understand TIIK I'OSSl HI 1.1
T1KS OF lXDl'STKY and financial advancement. They ure men
like Cassatt, Hill and others in railway progress; like Carnegie, who.
made himself master of the steel industry of the world ; like Duke, who
combined the tobacco interests of the country with immense fortune to
himself and his associates and cheapened the product to consumers;
like Widener. wlu.se genius mastered the local transit of nil the lending
cities of the country ; and many others who have achieved like buocosji
in a less degree.
These men teach the lesson that THK FIKI.n AND THE
SHOP AUK TIIK CKAPLES OK MKN, but they are today the
welcome truest and invited counselors of kings and emperor in the
old w.r!d, because their achievements in industrial development have
placed the Knited States in advance of all the governments of Kurope,
upon whom we were once largely dependent. These great captains
are only men and human after all, and it is natural that they should
arouse hostility from the old time laggards who adhered to old time
customs and thus INVITED BAXKKITTCY. That they nhould,
with their vast opportunities, at times aim at tho .'xeroiso of power that
could be made oppressive on the people is riot surprising, but they havo
made five transcontinental railway lines mostly out of private capital,
and all now realize good profits ; they have developed I." NTOl.D M I r
UOXS OF NATIONAL WEALTH; they have hastily peopled ter
ritories and developed them until they now joiu in the galuxy of states
in tho Union.
Taking this new class of American greatness, with all its defects, it
eau be said that it has given this country more advancement in a single
decade than could have been attained IN HALF A CENTURY
without this new element that has quickened every industry, multiplied
our railways and made millions of prosperous homes.
THEY HAVE ATTRACTED FROM STATESMANSHIP THE ABLEST
MEN OF THE NATION, AND THEY STAND TODAY IN THE VERY
FRONT RANK OF WELL EARNED AND SUCCESSFUL NATIONAL
2ISTINCTI0N.
It is only natural that this sudden and marvelous development of
corporate advancement, by which multimillionaires were vastly mul
tiplied, should aim to get the best results from their grat enterprises
and at time, even at the eo.t of JUSTICE TO THE PUBLIC. This
has led to what was at ilr-t a feeble opposition to what was commonly
called ''corporate greed," but it grew from year to year and iinallv
brought fruit in the interstate commerce eommis-'ioii and the Sherman
antitrust law.
H K
Today the public sentiment in favor of governmental restraint it)
stronger than it has ever been, and at no time in the past has it been
so aggressive. It is not a sudden ebullition of l'OUL'LAIi PAS
SION, but rather the result of the eettled convictions of fair minded
people throughout the land, and behind them is a vast unmeasured
host of idlers and unsuccessful people who have gradually drifted into
Socialism and are rapidly tending toward anarchy. The Socialistic
tendency of the times is one that must be reckoned with, and the wise
way to deal with it is to DISARM IT BY JUST LAWS, not only
regulating great corporate interests, but PROTECTING them as
well.
Who could deny the absolute necessity for governmental restraint
of our insurance corporations after the painful developments recently
made in New York, and the time has come when tho great railway,
as well as the great industrial combinations of the country, should join
the government in framing laws which would maintain EQUAL AND
EXACT JUSTICE between corporate and public interests.
Rebates and other unlawful combinations by railways cannot bo
continued, and our great industrial combinations cannot attempt the
restraint of general industry and trade. Conditions havo reached us
which are IMPERIOUS in the demand for such restraints, and the
wise policy for all the vast interests to be effected by such legislation
would be to co-operate with the national government.
THUS MIGHT BE FRAMED LAWS WHICH WOULD NOT ONLY
GIVE ABSOLUTE PROTECTION TO THE PUBLIC AGAINST UNLAW
FUL METHOD8 ON THE PART OF CORPORATIONS, BUT WOULD
ALSO AFFORD THEM THE FULLEST PROTECTION OF THE LAWS
IN ALL THEIR JUST RIGHTS.
