THE MILK or THE cocoANUT.

The oregonian's editorial OF Tuesday
"A Matter Of Choice" is one Of the most
significant utterances Of that srea; pa
per in recent years, 1t can mean nothing
less than that Editor Scott is getting
ready TO urge on Portland people an a.
lance between Portland ana Astoria for
the capture Of the trans-Paeiac trade.
In many previous urJerances the ore
gonian has conceded that the trans-Pa-
cihc trade can only be captured for Port
land by ships Of at least 25 feet draught,
and that Poruand's channel does not
equal . feet. Thus it is obvious the Ore
gonian does not believe that Portland as
the seaport can capture this trade. I,
comedies the capture OF the trans-Pacitic
trade would double POrilands popula-
ton and soon make that cAy the Pacific
coas, metropolis, just as the As,or.an
has repeatedly said. BY necessary in
ference, therefore. the oregonian must
be taken to have conceded that only by
making Astoria the seaport and DOlNGl
so AT ONCE. can the trans-Pacihc I.
trade be captured by Portland Nothing

strongly influence that Of one or more sons

In brief. then, the veterans are still the
strongest political element i'll the country,
and if they stand together upon matters
affecting their interests. they can control
the elections of Representatives. in Congress
and even of President of the United States.
This is a matter for comrades 10 think

them measure up quietly their own strength
in each community. and do little figuring
on the basis of the returns of the recent
elections as to how a solid soldier vote
would have changed things.
They can do this in non-par,isan way,
for the younger politicians Of all parties are
alike anxious to shelve the veterans and get
rid of their claims TO Office employment and
pensions.
Self-preservation is the first Law of nature.
and veterans can not be blamed for resisting
the efforts of greedy politicians to crowd
them off the earth.

This widow is as fine lady and as well
