I The Right Age For Senators, By United ramntr t. W. MTTUS of Alabama. DOX'T tbink wo ought to have boys in our legislative bodies, but it isn't a GOOD;, BUSINESS TOLIGY to send to con irres wen who are over fifty-fivo or sixty pars of age. I was seventy-six when I entered upon my duties as united States senator. I was too old then, and I haven't grown any younger in the ten years I've been at work on the floor of the senate. MV notion la that men from forty to fifty years old the average man la la the PRIME OF HIS MENTAL VIGOR at that age-ought to Ve elected as senators and then kept in service as long as they are able to do the required work. 1 WEATHER. 4 Western Oregon and Washing- ton Fair. , INDUSTRY VERSUS POLITICS !As the years go by with their evi dences and result appertainting to the great industry of salmon fishing on the Pacific , the more we are wedded to our conviction that the business must be absolutely divorced from polities If it to flourish and expand under the nurture that is provided. If state aid and superintendence is to make bo more real progress in the mat ter than is of record to this date, it were better that the whole matter be left to the fishermen and the canners and all statutory requirements cancelled at once and forever. The great trade would get along infinitely better in the hands of experts trained to its last es sential, than to have that expert inter est invaded and hampered by an offic ialism at once incompetent and costly. The question is a vital one to this whole ' upper coast country and in all that realm it is conceded that the fisher and the tanner are the only people who really know the actualities of habit and season and developement of the salmon fish; and the logic of leaving the manipulation of the industry to them,, permitting them to devise and control the hatchery operations, is be coming more and more apparent every season, nor will a step in this direction be very boldly disparaged if it shall be taken. " and 43 live papers are now heralding the claim ot Astoria and Clatsop to tne nation In ouiet and effective terms, and will soon bring results upon which may b builded a campaign of acquisition that will not end for yean to come and never if it Is followed to logical esuo- lishment (first and last the newspaper it the beat medium on earth for advertising anything, from cities to socks, and toe campaign just started is a forerunner of success of the amplest sort because it is based upon the soundest method of ex ploitation and one that demonstrates itself hourly is every enterprise and community of the land. It has the approval of the Chamber and the citi sens, and are all squarely behind it. 9S EDITORIAL SALAD. Abe Hummel might have suspected occasionally in his devious career that it would some day be "23 for his," but when he got it he couldn't have forseen the restraint and the stripe. o After all it opponent had condemned the Liberal government' bill for Ireland, the Irish themselves reject it. That set ties home rule for this session of Par liament. Chaplain Chidwick, of New York, told the police they are not nearly as bad as they are said to be. They would" like to believe him because be is a good man. WOMEN IN BAR-ROOMS. The keynote of the ugly situation prevailing in this city was struck when the order was sent out to keep women from the bar-rooms of the city. This move broke away the vital allure ment and deadened the initial step to debauchery, and was the most whole. some procedure taken in many a month. From the hour it was put into effect, there ha been a constant exodus from this city of the people who had become absolutely unnecessary here, and the closing of the dancehalls, though a pre cedent step, was sealed once for all, .with the second, but most important mandate'. It was high time some such steps were taken and the city will feel the impetus of i later on. - Reactionary movements of this sort are always momentarily deadening, but the effect wears off in time and normal conditions ensue; and Astoria is not 'destined to suffer unduly from thig movement to purify her muni cipal skirts. She will get credit for it at home and abroad and profit by it immensely in the end. The plea that it curtails the civic income, while in a measure true, but accentuate the neces sity for a very general subsidence of public expdenditures and a course of economic reformation that has been de layed far too long. The day of regen eration is at hand, and Astoria has a plain duty to perform as Imperative upon her as upon other cities of Oregon that hare met and performed it. MESSAGES OF MERIT. The Astoria. Chamber of Commerce is rapidly becoming a powerful agency for good under the progressive and inspiring tactics of Manager John H. Whyte and is gaining the ear of the country all about' us, in cood ehanc. He has been indefatigable ever since he arrived here, and has met with sharp and prompt en couragement at the hands of the mem bership in all the practical steps he has inaugurated for the development of the city and county. The latest movement in this behalf is the advertising of the whole territory hereabout in every State in the Union, Xone can escape.

TECHNICALLY-EDUCATED MEN NEEDED Not Enough to Meet the Demand of the Industrial World Graduates of the Technical Schools Sought Eagerly by Employers. , Some time ago a large industrial con cern of the Eat sent a representative to Pittsburg with the authority to employ one hundred draftsmen-and engineers with thorough technical qualifications. The representative was able to secure only forty, and these he had to pay any where from fifty to sixty .per cent more than they were then earning to induce them to change. The incident emphasized the great lie mand there is for technically trained men in every part of the United States. Kot only are their services required at high salaries in all kinds of construc tion work, but they are a much in de mand for administrative position. A large proportion of the men at the heads of the various railroad companies are those with engineering education, and it is stated on good authority that sixty per cent of the officials of the iteel in dustry are technically trained wen Such is the demand for the man wun a technical education that a writer In a recent number of a national industrial publication refer to him ss the "auto crat of the business world," meaning that he may command almost any salary within reason The same writer cite the fact that industrial employers are eagerly seeking the graduates of the technical schools, and mentions an in stance where one Ann wanted to employ the entire graduating class of a well- known engineering university No single sgency ha done so much to give men technical training a ha the International Correspondence School of Porsnton, Pa. By the unique meth ods of this great institution, young men may , gain thorough teennical training in U the leading engineering trades and professions, without giving up any em1 ployment that they may have. In al most all large industrial concerns of America these Schools have graduates working with the graduates of lending universities. The Schools can point to thousands of cases where men formerly working as laborer or occupying in ferior position have, through the I. C. S. perfected system of training by mail become engineers, superintendent managers, foreman, or head of their own enterprise. In fact, the International Correspond ence Schools make it so easy for the ambitious man, in hi spare hours and at small expense, to rise to the level of the high-salaried expert that no man can now say truthfully that he lacks opportunity. The International Correspondence School are represented in Astoria by Mr. H. Harris, who is always glad to give any one, free of charge, informs tion concerning any of the more than 200 course of home-study offered by the I. C. S.
