along with that of the wholo eoninnin
ity, is involved in the widespread knowl
edge of this iiupoittint truth, It is
lutnnted by no other motive than that
the world at largo shall have an honest
conception of an honest bu-ines in a
clean and honest product. There is not
a cannery in the whole line engaged,
that may not be visited and its last
cranny explored by the most exacting
man or woman in the land, at any hour
of any day or niht, come when they
will, with, or without, not fret And
what is more, it is now, just as it has
been wiiee the business was originally
founded, only infinitely better, owing
to the introduction of sterilizing, de
odorizing, and perfecting inventions. It
was always a scrupulously clean business.
. WORD VS. STEVENS.
Tom Word says he will not appeal
from the findings of the lVcount of the
shrievalty vote. The recount gave his
opponent about SO per cent leeway in
the electoral contest, and Mr. Word's
generous forlwarance is eailv accounted
for.

COMMON-SCHOOL CURRICULUM.
The recent article published in these
tolumns on the ' forcing" processes used
in the common schools of the country
to the patent detriment of many of the
children, over the signature of Dr. J.
A. Fulton, has found many a ready echo
upon the tongues of Astoria parents
lately, and casual inquiry developes the
fact that a very general protest would
be raised against the nerve-wearing
course of studies, if the parents had any
idea such a protest would be effective.
This, of itself, is ground for the im
mediate and sensible raising of the is
sue. What is true of the school sys
tem of Astoria i9 as true of every
other large district in the state, and
amenable to the same objection and
protest. Anything that tends to lower
the healthful status of the child is a
detriment to the man and woman of a
coming hour and should not be tolerated
under any pretense whatever. The
remedy lies in the office of the state
superintendent of schools and with the
state board of education, and unless
these powers be invoked, there is little
chanjse of reprieve; for the children.
Other states have had to correct this
abuse, and Oregon might as well get in
line.

Though the demand for pins the
world over is enormous, the mills of
the United States practically supply
th entire demand. Formerly pins were
expensive, but now they cot a mere
tritle. In l!XI5 the 75.000.000 people in
the United States u-ed (50,000.000 gross
j of common piu which is equal to'
j 9.500,(XX,0OJ Anns, or an average of
about 12(5 pins for every man, woman
and child in the country. This is the
highest average reached anywhere in
the use of pins. Ten years ago we used
only about seventy-two pins each.

Hard indeed is the lot of the Rus
sian peasant woman. Not only does al.
the housework rest on her shoulders but
she must work side by side with tide
man in the fields and is often subject
to more brutal treatment. The cus
toms in some parts of the country are
absolutely barbarous. If a man sus
pects his wife of being unfaithful he
has the right to treat her like an ani
mal. Naked, she is hitched to a wagon
nest to a horse and driven through the
main street of the village by her hus
band, who whips her until she collapses
and often falls to the ground dead from
shame and his brutal blows.

It is just as well not to be too cap
tious; with current conveniences Bkej
the Chinese slop-wagons. These men
have certain things to do in the conduct
of their garden business, and are pretty
steadily at work, nearly all hours of the
day, and cannot run their slop wagons
to suit the convenience of everybody.
They must take up the stuff when they
can, or it can not be handled by them.
Their service in this line is too valua
ble to be sacrificed to rule of any par
ticular sort, except cleanliness; and this
they will adhere to, anyway. The thing
to be first considered and provided for,
is the practically certain removal of
the garbage just about so often.
o
LOSE NO TIME!
The people of the country are amazed
and disgusted beyond measure with the
recent developments as to the foul
methods employed by the Chicago, and
other, packeries; and the consequent
prejudice against canned goods of all
sorts is not to ha wondered at, though
there are many cases where it may fall
with exceeding injustice and deplorable
results. To contribute, without loss of
time, to the safety and well-being of
our splendid packing business here
about, we make the following open dec
laration and put the reputation of the
paper squarely behind it, in common
justice to the men and money and !
plants involved, as well as to the mil-1
lions of consumers of our river pro- :
duct. The Columbia river salmon pack
ing canneries, are, without exception,
models of unqualified cleanliness in
every department; no offensive nor
detrimental, process, nor material, is
ever used at any of the plants in the
furtherance of the business. It reaches
the consumer, at any distance, in abso
lutely safe, harmless, and palatable,
condition, and may be relied upon, at
al times, to be a simple, wholesome,
unadulterated, and acceptable article of
diet. Thin lit the statement of one of

ART COLLECTION TOO COSTLY.
Director of Metropolitan Museum of Art
SaysArt Collection Too Expensive.
NEW YOKK, June 30. Rutherford
Stuyvesant, one of the directors of the
Metropolitan museum of Art, returned
to thii city from Europe yesterday and
di nied that the museum was trying to
purchase the Rudolph Kann art collec
tion. The price wanted for the collec
tion, Mr. Stuyvesant said, is $5,000,000,
and it is believed by the directors of the
metropolitan to be prohibitive.
Mr. Stuyvesant was in Paris when
I. Pierpont Morgan, William Laffan, and
Sir Caspar Purdon Clarke were. Mr.
Morgan he said, had purchased in addi
tion to the Oppenheimer collection, which
is now on exhibition at the South Ken
sington Museum, the Augiistin collec
tion of miniatures.
The miniature ere on exhibition In
Paris. Hveiitually they will be placed
in Mr". Morgan' London lioin.
OVERNMENT control never gets, and to tho nature of
things never can get, nil there is OR THE BEST THERE
IS in human capability. Tho government may compete
with privato enteqiriso in getting capable men, but it has
not thus far shown anything of tho capacity of a private
enterprise to assign the right man ALWAYS TO THE RIGHT
1'LACE. That kind of seeking out and watchfulness few government
departments possess. The men in charge of government departments
may be intelligent and well intentionod, but they are in today and out
tomorrow. The thing under them is not their child. They nover, a
a matter of fact, get their hands and their minds fully into the work.
And this will always be the case, for in its nature republican govern
ment is founded on SHORT TENURES and frequent change.
t at ftt
Nor will civil service chango this. Civil service examinations may
secure capable men, but no civil service examination can assign the
right man to the right place, can pick out of tho thousand capable men
JUST THE KIND OF CAPABILITY that is fitted to this place
and just the kind that is fitted to that. Indeed, between government
control and private control the difference is between what we call true
organization and what 19 tho merest aggregation, for in privato enter
prise each man has come by a process of attrition to the place he is best
fitted to fill, while in government employment each man is dropped
into his place IRRESPECTIVE OF SPECIAL FITNESS and
under civil service is riveted there. And all this is said on the as
sumption that politics would havo no part in government ownership
and operations.
WHEN WE STAND BEFORE THAT 8I0E OF THE QUESTION
EFFICIENT PUBLIC OWNERSHIP LOOKS ALMOST HOPELESS.
As for another remedy control from outside the corporation as it
is today. Under the shadow of tho vaunted Sherman antitrust act tho
greatest of the so called trusts have grown up. True, the administra
tion has begun a number of prosecutions. But the beef trust injunc
tion, the railroad rebate injunction and tho Northern Securities decree
contain SO FAR their results.
With these results I am finding no fault. The railroads say that
they are obeying the injunction, and thus far the law officers of the
government have not with success disproved OR EVEN TRIED TO
DISPROVE that assertion. No prosecution for contempt under the
beef trust injunction has been instituted.
This expected cure from the outside is no cure at all. It may pal
liate, but it neither eradicates NOR RESTORES. There must be
RECONSTRUCTION.
K
Capitalism under present conditions is bound to be hoggish, is
bound to look upon the people, the people's labor, and the people's ac
cumulating wealth only as so much oil for their own lamps. But pres
ent conditions are not fastened upon us.
Just as fast as popular interest and intelligent and unprejudiced
judgment enter into the ownership and management of the property
constituting our corporate domain, the present system of converging all
the capital of the country into the great money centers, there to be bor
rowed by the few AND INVESTED BY THE FEW FOR
THEIR SOLE BENEFIT, will subside. Inspire people with tho be
lief that they can, with reasonable security, have an individual stake in
the domain that constitutes our corporate property, and they will cease
to have no care into what their resources go.
THEY WILL COME TO A CONDITION OF INTERE8T WHERE
THEY WILL CARE. AND THEY WILL COME TO EXERCI8E THAT
CARE WITH DISCRIMINATION AND INTELLIGENCE.
Opportunities Are as Great
As They Ever Were Here
By ANDREW CARNEGIE
I AM an individualist and think the state is doing as much as it
should. If I were a young man and alone in tho world I
would work for A DOLLAR A DAY if necessary, and I
don't think I'd ask any one to help me. There is always room
for the man who is WILLING TO WORK, and when I hoar to the
contrary it seems hard to believe.
I know of manufacturers who are willing to pay $3 a clay for men,
and they tell mo they have difficulty in securing labor. Socialism of
a sort seems to be growing in this country. I see evidences of it every
where, but TO HE it is not the real solution.
With health and good habits and the WILLINGNESS TO
WORK the chances in America are' as good as they ever were.
THE MAN WHO IS ALWAYS COMPLAINING THAT HE HAS NO
CHANCE IS THE MAN WHO 18 HIMSELF TO BLAME.
Highest Permanent Wealth
Of a Nation Is Its Literature
By WHITELAW R.EID. United Statt Ambassador to Grot Britain
CHE highest PERMANENT WEALTH of a nation is in its
enduring literature. This and this only is now "tho glory
that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome." What
does any dispassionate and competent critic say today was the
highest glory of the Victorian era ?. I do not deprecate its wars or its
ever widening empire or its efforts for the well being of all its peoplo
or its great extensions of the suffrage. But the highest glory of the
Victorian age, ONLY EXCEPTING ITS CONSTANT EFFORTS
TO PRESERVE PEACE, the glory by which it will 1 chiefly re
membered far on in summers that we tdiull not nto and throughout tho
generations of men, is surely tho Victorian literutura.
