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

, 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.

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

met would be fired upon by the Presi
dent as soon as he got the range.

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.
