ASTORIA

yESTKUIJAX was me realiza
tion or a dream long
dreamed at Astoria.
Tin. flrKr ttfloa wern driven
and the first active steps taken
for enterprises of great moment.
tFar more than the mere physical
iresults which they bring, is the
import they have as to the future,
and the tidings they carry to the
world. ;
Thus, tho driving, of the pile in
the Hill docks is testimonial of the
faith great transcontinental railroad-
lines have in the Columbia
river ? as a port of commerce. The
millions of Investment which '. the
driving of that pile symbolizes is
an overwhelming answer : to those
who have defamed and derided the
Columbia river and its possibili
ties as a route for ocean trade.
Yesterday's celebration is the
premier, event in the - history of
Astoria. It is the beginning of
an enlarged and expanding future.
jj It Is an epochal event for ; the
whole Columbia basin. With as
surance of effective governmental
Assistance, the trade and produc
ing- empire of this region stands
In contemplation of a development
of which there have been few par-
Lallels.
i The Journal congratulates As
toria, and the whole Northwest.
;;WHAT WOULD WILSON'S CRITICS DO?
N OREGON, certain standpat leaders of the Republican party who
are more out -of tune with the Republican- masses than Is Presi
dent Wilson, are engaged In attacks upon .the present adminis
tration, ;- .. . .," . . - "..
What acts of the Washington government would they reverse? -Would
they, repeal the income tax and return .to the; old policy of
taxing the poor exactly the same as they would tax the rich? In the
face of. the fact1 that costly federal courts are occupied mostly. with'
the litigation of great corporations, and that the - enormous cost of
government in legislation., and administration Is due to issues that
the great property interests create, would they blot out the , Income .
tax and keep up taxation of poverty for the benefit of wealth?; ,
- Would they repeal the present tariff and ' re-enact the Payne
Aldrlch tariff , a tariff that robbed all the people for the "benefit ot
a few manufacturers and that drove nearly all its framers into exile?.
In spite of the fact that wool has risen three to five cents a pound
under the new tariff, would they restore the Payne-Aldrich schedule r
which President Taft declared "Indefensible?"' . , '.
Would they repeal the new currency law and again put us . under ?
the panic-breeding banking and currency system which - made the
Morgan-Rockefeller group of money kings the masters of the credit
of this country? Would they overthrow the regional banks with peo
ple's control of credit and return to the former1 system with Wall
Street control of credit?
Would they destroy the reserve banking" system with elastic cur
rency and restore the old system w'th the money reserves all in
New York, where, us in 19&Ujt the millions they had piled up
there, outside banks couldn't get a cent, though those millions were
used on the stock exchange in the wildest stock gambling, this na
tion ever saw?
Would they throw aside the present system and go back to the
plan under which, when we wanted money for panic times, the banks
would not give it to us, but instead . put into circulation clearing
house certificates, based solely on faith in the banks and issued
without authority of law?
llai.it come to this, that a mere desire to get the offices will
submerge men's patriotism to the degree in which they would put
the nation back into the mire of a credit system dominated by Mor
gan, the New Haven wrecker, and by Rockefeller, the inciter of the
Colorado civil war?
Do those standpat critics of the administration want the presi
dent to enter Mexico with an army of invasion? Since they are so
critical of his Mexican policy, what would they have him do beyond
the Rio Grande? Though every South American nation refused to
recognize Huerta, do they want our president to hail and embrace
the murderer of Madero as a brother president; a course that would
encourage every other murderous Mexican revolutionist to climb to
a Mexican throne over the corpse of an assassinated president?
Armed invasion as a starter, would . require an army of 350000
American boys and an Initial appropriation of $500,000,000. Do
the Oregon standpatters want thousands upon thousands of American
boys " In blue slaughtered to make more valuable the lands and
mines and oil of alien adventurers and exploiters of- the Mexican
people's resources? ;
Do they want reversal of the Wilson policy which has already
won the strong' friendship -of every nation on the Western Hflmis
phere and bound them to us for closer trade relations, and" which
has for its ultimate aim the uplift of the submerged, plundered and
helpless people of hapless. Mexico?
Would these standpat Oregon gentlemen stop President Wilson
from getting through congress his, measures for control of the
trusts?. Are they against his plan of federal supervision of the is
suance of railroad securities by which stock watering and stock Job
bing are to be ended?
Are they against his plan xf a trade commission by which to
prevent huge combinations of wealth from conspiring together for
the robbery of the masses of "the American people? Are they
against his plan of making guilt personal by which it is proposed to
not merely tlokle trust magnates with petty fines, but, when they
violate the laws of the land to send them to the penitentiary?
Would they give, the government back to Wall Street?

RGUMKNT began yesterday at
Philadelphia in the suit of
the United States to dissolve
the hard coal trust.
The government's brief describes
the defendant trust as "a combina
tion of producers, shippers, sellers
sod carriers, of anthracite, held
together in iolatlon of the ; fed
eral anti-trustVirt by and through
the Reading Company.".
; The Reading Company Is a hold
iivfi concern ' with a capital of
$275,000,000. It is the aim of
tlje government to have the rail
roads involved in the suit perma
nently restrained from transport
ing anthracite in which they have
an Interest. It Is contended . that
the trust has fastened its domina
tion over the anthracite trade as a
whole.. The defendants comprise
six railroad companies, two coal
companies and. a long list of . in
dividuals. .
! The government charges ihat the
Reading Company has suppressed
competition In the production
transportation . and sale of coal.
It charges . that outright rebates
advances and undue preferences
were granted, that - undue exten
slon of credits for freight charges
were permitted, that disclosures
were made to favorite companies
of information respecting ship-
Eents by Independent companies
lning coal, that coal lands were
leased by railroads to coal com
panics with the understanding: that
Jthe. output be shipped . over the
said railroads, and that purchases
by the railroads of the output of
Independent companies were made
The suit is an assault upon the
whole Interlocking system by which
competition Is driven out of? coal
production' and the product mined
transported and sold under a'; plan
amounting to absolute monopoly

The other decision granted a

There was -' no question as ' to
the guilt of the man, but because
the trial judge did not give the

again.
It Is not to be wondered at that
there is a growing contempt for
the law and the courts and a cry
for legislative reform and recast

4It may seem churlish to question the
wisdom of the man who sets out to
help the people, instead of .removing
the barriers that prevent the people
from helping themselves; but when the
two policies are contending for a
hearing, and charity is offered instead
of justice, sentiment should give way
to reason. A few months ago the
whole world was agog over the propo
sition of an exceptionally successful
manufacturer to .raise the wages of
his men arbitrarily; that it, without
regard to the market price of labor.
He would establish a minimum wage
of $5 a day. The pulpit and the press
met the proposal with loud aeclaim.
"See," they cried. i"what the rich do
for the poor. Away with the carping
critics. Here is the solution of the
labor problem."
That the action of this kindly dis
posed manufacturer was purely phil
anthropic, and not based upon justice,
soon .became apparent. Scarcely had
the world ceased to marvel at his gen
eroslty than it was startled by his
meddling with the private Uvea of hla
employes. They must do this, omit
that and live thus and so; all of which
conduct was dictated by the Ideas and
opinions of the successful manufac
turer. His workmen might differ in
their ideas and ; their conceptions
might be better founded than those of
their employer. That did not matter.
They mast subordinate their opinions
to his, on pain of forfeiting their claim
to the $5 minimum wage. How many
yielded, and how many stood for their
right of Individual expression Is not
recorded: for tha press la given to
publishing benefactions, and neglect
ing to record the results. But this can
be taken as fact: Men yield their in
dividuality only under compulsion.
The manufacturer daredt to encroach
upon the private life of his employes
lie
ternatlve of yielding their Individual
ity, or surrendering the largess.
And now that all this upsetting of
the verities has occurred, the press
and caught him. My men overpowered
him. bound. htm and took him to the
guardhouse to sober up. Next morn

FARM LOAN DEALERS IN NEW ASSOCIATION
EAR Towanda, Pennsylvania,
Mrs. Preston, a farmer's wife,
who was supposed to be
dying with cancer of the
stomach, vomited a streaked snake
two feet long and as large as a
man's finger. She was in poor
health for two years, and was
under treatment for cancer without
hope of recovery. Becoming very
ill, she was given a drink of milk,
followed by a cup of mustard
water, which caused vomiting.
The attending physician has the
snake and says it has been the
cause of all the trouble. Mrs.
Preston thinks she swallowed the
snake while drinking from a brook
near her home five years ago. She
remembers that something tmusual
passed down her throat at that
time. ' ,
