A friend at our elbow suggests that it might be a wise thing for the leading merchants of thi city, to capitalize, or' ganize and maintain at least one, big adequate wholesale jobbing house in Astoria, and do business through it themselves, spnd out drummers through the whole coast country, from Port Angeles to Marshfleld, make proper use of the common-point rate applicable to lmijjs to u by eveiy law of logic ami locution. The question of transporta tion would Ih the least and lttt of the matter of comvru in such n enter prise; and it might lead to develop ment tluit would swing Astoria into commercial lines timlrcnmcd of. At all events it would not ih less than ad vance her sstti n a bnsinc center ami lironilen her inllncms' in channel where she 1ms little or no voiv at present. Tlieiv is moat in the snc-tion ami the Chamber of Commeive of thi city can do many thinj; of less importance than brinyiii the question of such a commer cial departure to the front. ETHICS AND BUSINESS. A a usual tliinjj the question of local option is founded upon an ethical basis of some sort, generally upon the nicer and cleaner elements of the liquor busi ness, and from thi standpoint it is the more imperative a nn issue; the more plansable in it presentation to the popular mind, and more effective at all time. But there is. unfortunately, no eoape from the business phase of the question, and this remaining for ad justment, there i a demand for justice and fair dealing quite inseparable from the determination of all other feature of the issue. This is the ease in the pending campaign in Astoria precinct Xo. C, where local optionist are called upon to exenise a spirit of equity In dealing with the immense business in terests of the North Pacific Brewing Company, whose established property and commercial holding there, aggre gate hundreds of thousands of dollars and which constitute one of the leading industrial plant of the community; and whose far-reaching custom is a matter of conspicuous value to Atoria and the whole surrounding country. It is said that ethics and business, like oil and water, will not mix, but we believe, in the case in point, they will mix long enough to avoid any deliberate and un called for injustice to so large and im portant an investment a is represented by this company. FALSE IMPRISONMENT. The policeman who arrested the two democratic legislative candidates in Portland, the other day, upon the sup position that they were anarchists was a genius in finding predicates for the choking off of useless declamation. These orators being out on a barren errand, and the throngs they were hold ing up in their idle quest of democratic voters being all anxious to return to their businesses, it became the duty of the only agency at hand to break the spell of amazement, and set the crowd free. He should be commended, not punished; it is not often a policeman shows such perspicacity and his acumen in the premise was on a par with the temerity of the democrats whose nerve prompted them to . attempt such a vacuous and vain-glorious proceeding. 0 EDITORIAL SALAD. "If you can't divide the republicans, smirch them," is the democratic policy in the senate. A lock canal could be changed into a sea level diteh, but this rule will not work the other way. 0 During the summer months in Mis souri it is legal to hunt hawks, owl, crows, English sparrows and the octo pus. 0 The czar's speech to the douma lasted only three minutes, but the back talk may remind him of the Congressional Record. 0 Many good speakers are reported to have been discovered in the Russian douma. The white's man burden is not of a voiceless nature. 0 In the light of experience, railways and waterways supplementing each other are the best rate regulators, as well as business facilitators. 0 Senator Bailey may answer for the Democratic choice, if over anxiety, to make party capital is what is chiefly desired in the leadership for 1908. 0 Russia's new parliament may be stormy, but its advent stiffened prices on the St. Petersburg bourse. In this age of the world the freest countries enjoy the best credit. Mr. Cleveland is so well-preserved in his 70th year that he has thought it advisable to give notice that he will not again be a candidate for the presidency. But he has not yet announced that he considers Bryan a good enough conservative. A 4tHH) horse power engine in Pitts burg i to be operated entirely by blast -f uiiiace g. formerly called one of the wate product, but the existence of anything of that nature is now denied. A Tenne e paper says that Hob Tay lor, nominee for senator, make people forget the sorrows and caivs of life. The senate itelf will be grateful for a change in this direction, It cost- Uncle Sim $2.bM in tolls to gel the naval dry dock through at Suer. ; The isthmian canal proposition in all ili forms requires a big roll, but the grati 1 tude of posterity i reasonably sine. A Missouri Democratic paper say that "When President Roosevelt called on Tillman to lead hi force it gave the country hope." This is a fair speci men of history as she i writ at the present time in Democratic circle. It is expected that Kentucky's home celebration next month will bring a good deal of stuff out of bond and have a crushing effect iixn the visible sup ply of mint. The-Anieiiiiin public ha little use for a "bad loser." in politic or out of poli tic. This national characteristic seem to have been overlooked by Senator Tillman aud Bailey. 0 The fact that a New York balloonist hit the 1'alisade will convince the writer who recently a-erted that New York cannot : beyond the Pulismlc that he proclaimed a great truth. With a girl's hand at the wheel of the largest and fastest sailing vessel that ever breasted the Atlantic, w ho can say that the poetry and romance of the j sea have vanished! Congress should remember that the money invested in river improvement i a perpetual gain to the country. The profits to the people are steady and periuaneut. 0 The London Spectator say "It i the genius of the American nation to grap essential point, to rise greater than calamities, a though ealumites gave wings and spur." The Spectator nan handsomely reformed its former halut of rubbing the American hair the wrong way. 0 Chicago's thief of police has arranged for a course of temjerance lectures to patrolmen. The lectures are to be "immediate," but with the thirsty eu son at hand the probabilities are that their application by the patrolmen will have more or less of an "ultimate"! character. From Iceland to New Zealand and from Vesuvius and the Canaries to San Francisco the earth has recently ltecn giving an exhibition which goes to show that it is not vet a dead world or even a finished world, notwithstanding the j long time geologists affirm it has been! getting ready as a completed abode fori man. And not even the geologist dare j to predict Uip date when such disturb-1 ances will cease. o "Vacation Estimates" on the coast of a summer's outing in Colorado and Utah, ii the theme of the newest book let issued by the Passenger Department of the Denver A Rio Grand Railroad. One is told what can be done or seen on an expedition of $10.00 per week and up. A SHIP WORTH TAKING. What the Captare of the flan Philip Meant to England. On the 0th of June, 1587, Drake, com ing back from "singeing the king ol gpaln's beard In Cadiz," fell In with 0 huge vessel, which be captured. She proved to be the San Phllipe, an East Indlaman owned by the king of Spain himself and then the largest merchant 1 man afloat Her cargo, valued at more than a mil lion sterling of modern money, was In rtaelf the most valuable ever captured, but there was something elm even more valuable than the cargo. This consisted of the ship's papers and ac counts, which disclosed to the mer chant adventurers of England all the methods and mysteries and the bound less possibilities of the East India trade. Indeed, It would hardly be stretching the facts to say tbat the morning wblcb saw the capture or the San Phllipe saw also the dawn of our Indian empire. The Immediate result was the forma tion of the East India company, which was not only the greatest coinmercla corporation the world had ever seen but also the only one that ever com manded Its own armies and fleets and wielded powers little less than Impe rialLondon Spectator.
