THELWEATHER
Oregon, Washington and Idaho
Fair. THEY START WITH A DEFICIT.
The new conncil of whatsoever
complexion and constituency it may
be, will start the year 1909 with a de
ficit of from $10,000 to $25,000.
according to the measure of the car
rent year's shortage on its appropria
tions and acroal expenses. This is
doe to the extravagance of the men
who have been in power so long they
have lost the art of reckoning and ac
counting and providing honestly for
the employment of the city's monies.
Are these men to be placed back in
the seats of authority and opportu
nity. - Are these deficits to be inflamed and
expanded and made the leaven for
another huge and annihilative debt?.
Are these deficits to be inflated and
opportunity to -pile tip the public
charges against this city, in the face
of her inability to meet the engage
ments she already struggles against?.
Let every man in Astoria this day
emphasize his desire to have this
city ran with business circumspection
and common sense thst actuates the
man with a private business. There is
limit to all debt, public as well as
private. Astoria has reached her lim
it and passed it. Shall she wantonly
increase it, to her dishonor and ths
peril of her credit at home and
abroad?.
If she is to be kept within bounds
and rank among the safe and sane
communities of the State, Samuel El
more and the entire Republican tick
et must be elected today!!!.
MISTAKES WILL OCCUR
EVEN IN THIS OFFICE
CORRECTION MADE OF FIG
URES EMPLOYED IN JUDGE
TAYLOR'S LETTER.
There is but one way to do this,
and that is by voting the Republican
ticket, from top to bottom, into place
and power and compelling your own
system and flatly demanding that
your civic honor be retrieved and safe
guarded from this time onl

know this and appreciate your periL

will compass your permanent and
practical redemption; and today, we
will do all that is left undone, by
voting straight and strong for the
men able and willing to do their
whole duty by you; and against the
agencies that have corrupted an!
discredited you!
MEN AND MEDIUMS.
In the Morning Astorian's presen
tation of the strong and interesting
letter of Hon. F. J. Taylor, yesterday
morning, there occurred one of those
typographical errors that are always
certain to occur exactly at the vital
line of the vit3l paragraph of a vita!
story; and it is desired that the
figures so misquoted in this instance,
may not be lost to the inquiring
voter; hence, they are reproduced
here and now, in the hope their sig
nificance may "strike in" on the con
science and interest of the voting
population this day. The corrected
table, is as follows:
Municipal bonds (auditor's
report) . $189,050.00
Street bonds (auditor's re-
. port) . . 4,968.22
Warrants (auditor's report) 122.464 63
School district bonds 87,000,')
Water Bonds 300,000.00
School district warrants... 16.000.03
County indebtedness, $150,-
000, 40 per cent of which
will fall upon the taxable
property of the city 60,000.00
Total liabilities for which area of
city is liable $779,482.85
HERE'S TO YOU, ASTORIA!
On this morning of one of the most
vital of your days, old Astoria, we
give you our best wishes for a happy
issue from the snarl and danger that
besets you! We will do all in our
poor power to give you a government
that shall spare you any further trep
idation or doubt as to your future!.
You are entitled to surcease from the
endless schemes of debt-building that
have wrought your tacit undoing!
For political and civic destruction
and salvation, at any time, and any
where, men are but mediums, agen
cies, the means to the end; and must
be regarded, and used, as such for
the good or hurt of the rest of us. If
is up to us always to know the me
diums we are using, and their efficacy
for good or evil and knowing it, our
duty is plain and simple.
Astoria's attitude today, in both the
civic and political lines, is one of de
manding salvation from the curse of
exploitation at the hands of a set of
men who have already committed her
to the point of financial ruin and who,
themselves, are still committed to
continuing the program upon a scale
greater than ever before. The propo
sition is clear; there is no ambiguity
about it, no question, no dispute save
from those who are pressing their
claims for a chance to revel deeper
in the wasteful and reckless slough
they have "tramped out" in the past
dozen years.
The Republican ticket is, today, the
medium of salvation and sense!.
The 'Citizens' ticket is, today, the
medium of spoliation and loss!.
She will be here when we are all
dead and it is up to us to leave her
clean and safe, and sound, in every
sense of the terms, to those who must
pick up our burdens after we are
gone. It is our square and honest du
ty to vote for the good of Astoria
first .and in infinitely more imperative
than any man's aspirations for mere
office.
The Republican ticket stands, to
day, for the real good of Astoria!!.
The 'Citizens' ticket stands, today,
for the certain evil of Astoria!!!.
HAWKING MACHINES
ASTORIA COMES FIRST L
Astoria and her future safety take
precedence, to-day, Mr. Voter!!.
The city comes before any man or
set of men, with you, today!!!.

Catarrh Sufferer Are Nothing But
Hawking, Spitting and Blowing
Machines, Say an Authority.
Is it possible that in these days
when cleanliness and sanitary reform
is being preached in the churches,
schools and at public gatherings, that
thousands of people will continue to
suffer from catarrh, when there is an
absolutely certain remedy always on
hand.-
Hyomei (pronounced High-o-Me)
is a pleasant, medicated and antisep
tic air. Breathe it in and it will cure
catarrh. It will stop foul breath,
watery eyes, and crusts inthe nose,
in a few days.
It is guaranteed by T. F. Laurin
to do it or money back, and such a
guarantee ought to be strong enough
for anybody.
Entire Cured by Hyomei
Having suffered from catarrh for
about two year.., and having tried
j numerous remedies without any sat
; isfactory results, finally tried Hyo
'mei, and am glad to state that after
'using about one and one-half bottles
j I am entirely cured. I have recom
mended it to others with satisfactory
results. C. N. Lindsy, 407 East First
Ave., Mitchell, S. D.
A complete Hyomei outfit, consist
ing of a strong, hard rubber pocket
inhaler and a bottle of Hyomei, costs
only $1, and extra bottles, if after
wards needed, cost only SO cents
! arh at T. P. Tjurin or direct, bv
mail, charges prepaid, from Booth's
Hyomei Co., Buffalo, N. Y.
Hyomei also cures Asthma, Bron
chitis, Coughs and Colds, Croup of
Infants, and any inflammatory dis
ease of the respiratory tract.
Two of our worthy cititens, hom,
for the reason that we do not want to
be personal, we will call Smith and
Jones, had a wordy contest on the
street the other day.
Smith is very prud of his wisdom
in management of hi affairs on the
farm in keeping everything up-to-date,
and he never tire of telling hi
friends about it. Yesterday he met
Jones and began to indulge in his fa
write topic. His neighbor Jones cut
him short and took him by surprise
by saying, "See here, Smith, you make
me very tired. You are continually
bragging about your good business
management and judgment, but I
think you are the worst manager and
have the poorest judgment of any man
I know of." Before he could recover
from his surprise, Jones continued:
ou are continually bragging about
keeping everything up-to-date. I just
advise you some day to go into your
kitchen and take a look at that oi l
rack of a stove your wife is using. It
is burning twice the furl necessary,
and is wearing out her life and nerves
trying to get along with something
that belongs to the 18th century.
'ou kick when your meals are not
ready, or because the bread and bis
cuits are burned, but if yoo. woulj
just let a little of your good business
economy and fine management you
talk about reach to your kitchen, you
would buy one of those latest South
Bend Malleable. I will bet you J
new hat. Smith, you would not talk
to me any more about a disordered
stomach or late dinners and such
like, and you would find your wife
would have a smile that would never
come off, the genuine Malleable
South Bend smile.
"I would advise you to take in th
exhibit at Foard & Stokes Hardware
Company. The South Bend man is
there and will tell you more about
his range in five minutes that I could
in an hour. It's all right. Smith, take
my word for it. If you are good, they
will give you some of their hot bis
cuits and coffee and a beautiful little
cook book and useful souvenir to take
home to your wife."

Beware of Frequent Cold.
A succession of cold or' a pro
tracted cold is almost certain to end
in chronic catarrh, from which few
persons ever wholly recover. Give
every cold the attention it deserves
and you may avoid this disagreeable
disease. How can you cure a cold?
Why not try Chamberlain' Cough
Remedy? It is highly recommend
ed. Mrs. M. White, of Butler, Tenn.,
says: "Several year ago I was
bothered with my throat and lungs.
Someone told me" of Chamberlain'
Cough Remedy. I began using it
and it relieved me at once. Now my
throat and lungs are sound and
well." For sale by Frank Hart and
