At the end of one week from this publication of the Astorian, the peo ple of this city will have decided? for two years to come, the personnel of their municipal staff, and with it, the nature of the administrative ser vice they are to have for that time. The questions are no small ones, nor lightly to be disposed of. The near approach of the hour for decision ac centuates 'the gravity of the situation and compels honest and earnest thought on the part of every man in Astoria with a home to save, a busi ness to build, and a future to prepare for. The "Citizens' administration, after long years of unchecked power, has yielded nothing to the city save such ordinary improvement as the nor mal progress of the place demanded, topped by a local debt that would af fright any community in the world; and it is baldly asking for re-election while it is as badly committed to a program of "improvement that will triple the staggering debt it has built already. This is no time to depend upon nor cater to mere personality, this week of thought and preparation; it is a season for passing upon the scheme of government that is to en sue here; the helpful, sensible, prac tical, business-like salvation of the town from further exploitation and financial peril: This is the crucial consideration of the hour. If Astoria is to make her one last sacrifice to the stupidity and cupidity of the sys tem that has all but wrecked her, then there is no use wasting time in thought and study and effort to re trieve and secure the city; but if there is knowledgeable thought and appre ciation of the criticaV state she is in, financially, then there will be a rad ical change wrought and a new staff of men charged with the big task of redemption. If ever Astorians did consecutive, honest, interested think ing for the sake of their city and its future, now is the time to go at it and to keep it up till the last ballot is dropped on Wednesday next MUNICIPAL STERILIZATION. There is an able professional wo man in Clatsop county, honored and respected in all circles, who has ad vanced the intensely practical idea of sterilization of the incapables and perverts of humanity for the good of the race. The innovation will, of course, be very radical, but it will al so be very effective, and good effects are what we are after these days. Apropos of this organic and origi nal means to a given and appreci able, end, we people of Astoria might be as courageous and sensible as this AT&THE BAKERONSANl Coming Sunday Matinee I Petie Something funny Come and langh with us One of the Comedy Acts of the Season.

M $1.50 excellent woman physician, and pol- prohibition, which may ie itically sterilise this community and! suspended in any county by three .. . . . i fifth vote, if a maionty in both sea isrnninr ,t srrninni iu iiic root of our administrative blunders and burdens, and oust the last man responsible for them; make a clean sweep of the incapables, (and of the nerverts. if any there be) and send up a set of men known to be actuat ed by the straight and simple ideals of business and fair-dealing. And do this without any sentimental 'flub dub" or clinging to fool traditions built up in favor of the delinquents during the past 12 pr IS years. To sterilise, means to render any thing that it bad, or hurtful or dan gerous, entirely barren of power or faculty for further evil, hurt or hat ard and the term and its significance are peculiarly applicable to. the civic mess in which this city finds itself throueh the instrumentality ' of the 'Citizens' party and its hopelessly in competent representatives. Let's ster ilize 'em, once for all, and do tne plainest duty that ever confronted us. It wont Lurt them much, and it will save the community an infinitude of anxiety and loss and trouble. The process is very simple; anybody can nerform the duty: it Is done by sim ply casting an affirmative ballot for Samuel Elmore and the Republican candidates on Wednesday next! Try it out!. When vou pick up your ballot next Wednesday and read this, among the proposed charter amendments. "To Provide for a Sanitary and Reclama tion Commission," dont be deceived t . t l: : K- 1,11 o mnlnvrfi to disguise the real meaning of the J ... provision; that stands for the Smith- Seawall, and you want to vote .NU as emphatically as the Lord will let you!. It cost the taxpayers of Astoria $383 for the Smith-Seawall bill; and the $100 paid for the drafting of the Port of Astoria bill, (an equally im portant fdb.ic provision) was paid for privately through the Chamber of Commerce, by the public-spirit ;J group beh:nd all honest initiatives. This demonstrates Jhe difference b; tween exploitation and business! The city hall does not operate as an asset azainst the sum of extrava gance the 'Citizens' administration is responsible for. That was paid for bv cash achieved from the sale of o'ner municipal property and a straight away levy 'rr the purpose. Anybiy ran get tHt gs for cash!. And if the 'Citizens' 5:ad been as careful to piy for tvery'hmg they got, and stood for, as they were in the matter of Me city hall, thty would not be as ur.-pcp-lar as they are nowl. 40 FEET OF SALT WATER. What the State of Oregon n'eed. just now and more than anything on her calendar of essentials, is 40 feet of good salt water on the Columbia bar. With that attained, and main- i Seats Free tained, the opening up of the wntei ways of the Columbia bsm wit' quickly follow. With the vessel in the river, live way to the inland port will be found readily enough, howsoever far up the stream it may be. And no man cares where the ship shall go. so lout, as it comes, primarily, to the Colum bia. This is the thing that we Colum ,.,.$7.00hians; and Oregonians must go after. Once the anchors are dropped on the j hither side of Cape Disappointment (and Point Adams the unerring ami j inviolable laws of commerce will die- I ... h muni of earvoinir and suimlv tii; means to reach it. Eight feet more on the Columbia bar and the trick is turned. Governor Sheldon, who was re elected in Nebraska, has announced special session of the legislature to be called soon and has asked the members by wire to support a bill o houses pledge themselves. At the late state election the liquor interests combined to beat Sheldon for re-elec tion. Ex. , . . Oklahoma's corporation commis sion has taken a crack at express rates and promulgated an order re ducing them by 35 per cent in some instances and from that point down. Other states might follow this exam ple to the great and just advantage of their merchants and others who are well nigh forced to use express service in the shipment of a variety of things. Topcka State Journal. Kansas is, all right. Xot alright, but all right. There are no poor in Kan sas. There are only about nine un fortunates in the Montgomery coun ty poor house and they are njore properly hospital subjects. Down in Chautauqua county they are to vote soon on the question of selling the poor farm. So" much for a state that does not pauperize its citizens through the sale of bad whiskey. Independence Register. Irving Avenue will be the Water loo of the 'Citizens' party yet, if i dont quit sliding!. As it is, it is the rankest example ever furnished of that party's incorrigible incompeten cy in civic management!. With promises as frail as the pro- r - , - - ' b.pKi.1 rt.rr1l.t the Citizens ad ministration has captured, appropri ated, and disposed of, the municipal pie of Astoria, and the pie is still un paid for!.. The good Lord gave Astoria every thing conceiveable in the way of a perfect harbor; and we shall be mak ing mighty poor use of it if we fail to protect and maintain it is an or ganic port under the law!.
