THE CAMPAIGN IS ON.
Tomorrow morning the Clatsop
county campaign for 1906 will open and
will continue until the sundown hour
of Monday, June 4th. The candidates
re named, the issues are defined, the
fight is on, and there will be no sur
cease from things political until the
last mas named on the Republican
ticket, state and county, is duly install
ed in the office for which he has been
chosen. There may be other conclu
sions than this, but they are not prov
able, nor, in fact, operative. Oregon,
and her counties, must go Republican
this year , for many vital reasons, the
most important of which is the prime
essential of sending two Republicans to
the federal senate. This imperative
duty demands a clear-cut, unquestion
ed Republican predicate, and to ac
complish this every man in the state
who is loyal to Republican principles
must exert his best and last effort; to
do less is tantamount to treason. The
engagement in Clatsop offers no new,
nor insuperable, obstacles in thi3 rela- i
tion; the opposition line-up is, sub-
gtantially, the same old Democratic
push traveling under its customary
alias of "Citizens," and the platform
they offer does not contain an item of
new or original force and they are with
out any stronger incentive in the fight
ijhan the inert personal gratification
for office. The Republican nominees
enter the field as the essential repre
sentative? of their party, popularly
named and wholesomely backed with
the concrete sentiment of their party
for the firm and final intrenchment of
Republican principles throughout all
Oregon, to the certain and enduring
maintenance of her prestige and pros
perity. Thus actuated, and in posses
sion of the working majority in the
State and in the county, the issue is
pre-determinable and absolutely Re
publican. SENSE AND GOOD NATURE.
It is conceded on all sides, among Re
publicans, that the close of the prim
aries on Friday, has left no wounds nor
resentful spirit among the men who
failed to attain the respective nomina
tions sought.. This 13 as it should be,
and is not unexpected and U wholly
appreciated. Good sense and good na
ture have supervened and there will be
no exhibition of personal malice nor
small reprisals. Republicans are Re
publicans, elected, or defeated. The
.spirit of manly submission to popular
dictate is parcel of the Republican pro-
gram and principle, and Republican
Clatsop and the City of Astoria con
gratulates itself upon this commendable
paitizan expression at this time.
WEALTH'S OPPORTUNITY.
The prostration of a great commun
ity before the ravages of earthquake,
fire, flood, infection, tornado, or any of
the other overwhelming agencies of un
subdued nature, offers one of its' noblest
opportunities to the garnered wealth of
the world. In the case of California's
metropolis, the occasion haa been swift
ly ami gloriously used and the abound
ing gift of $20,000,000 of money bears
witness that the private fortunes of
the earth have beou nobly broached in
the woeful caue. It does one good to
realize this in this day of grasping, sor
did and merciless exaction in the pur
suit of corrupted and unearned profits.
That the poor in purse have given, re
latively, more than the rich, aa i al
ways the ease in such dreadful emer
gencies, does not impair the deduc
tion drawn in favor of the latter; and
the measure of credit due to those of
the abler class ueeds emphasis in order
to accentuate the generosity of those
wjjo were less prepared and still more
willing. Among the piineely tributes
sent forth in this vital moment, that of
Oregon, with Portland to the forefront,
is monumental in its scope and will be
noted for years to come, a one of the
best types of popular tmigninmity, ex
peditiously applied, on record.

EVEN AIR A COMMODITY.
It was scornfully said when the anti
monopoly agitation was started that
the next thing monopoly would seek
would be to make a commercial com
modity of the air we breathe and that
is being done. Compressed air has
within the last few months been made
into a commercial commodity. It is
now being sold to consumers for so
much a cubic foot, the same way as gas
is sold. George Yestinghoue. head of
the Westinghouse Company, made this
possible by putting on the market an
"air meter," which measures air ex
actly as gas is measured. The capacity
of a meter is 50,000 cubic feet an hour.
It is expected that compressed air fac
tories will shortly be established in large
cities for the sale of air.

HOW IT WORKS.
The cutting off of passe by certain
railroads calls to mind the remarks of
an Irish orator in contrasting the dif
ference in fares paid by the classes in
the "ould" country and America. He
said: ' "Over there the aristocrats pay
three cents a mile,, the middle class two
cents and the laborers a cent and a
half. But in America the laboring man
pays three cents a mile, the merchant
pays two cents and the rich ride on
passes."

EDITORIAL SALAD.
It will probably not be very long
before we can go into one of the dry
goods stores and say to a clerk, "Let
me see what you have in the line of
wooden suits " says the Technical World
Magazine. "He may reply, 'Ilard or Soft f
and the windup of it wil be our part to
specify that we want a suit of 'good'
pine, 'without any cheap sapwood.'
Vests of this kind are already worn
by the carding-room fore men in some
of the woolen mills. The material re
sembles a stiff, thick cloth, and is ap
parently as durable as leather. It is
not improbable that in the future cheap
suits costing about fifty cents and guar
anteed to last for years, will be made
of spruce or pine."

While experimenting how to make
diamonds a Mr. Acheson discovered how
to manufacture carborundum, the ma
terials which are sawdust, sand and
salt fused with coke and subjected to a
heat of seven thousand degrees; the in
tenseness of this heat i so great that
Topfiet's temperature is as an iceberg
in comparison with it. This carborun
dum is a mineral and is destined ere
long to revolutionize the industrial
world; it is of nearly the same hard
ness as the diamond and more inde
structible, and is the best grinding and
polishing substanoa known.
