inches to two and ever three feet in di-

general type is a four, five, six, seven,

is usually twice it's width. Each side is
a pane OF glass, plain, ground, frosted,

Upon the pendants the artificers put
their hardest work. Some are made of
colored beads, strung and massed with
fantastic shapes and knots. Others are
strings of little bells, which ring with
every passing breeze. Lines of gilt

origin of a favorite mode of decorating
gaudy enamel or colored porcelain, con

GENERAL MILES

THERE is something akin to sadness
as we'll as injustice in the scant courte-
sy accorded Gen. Miles by 1he press
of the entire country on the occasion
Of his retirement from the position of
commander n-chiefNof the army of the
United States. 1t seems to US that his
career has been honorable; that his
record as warrior compares favorab-
ly. with that of his compatriots, and
that his personal life has been as free
from blenlish as his record as an army
officer. True, his discretion was not as
keen as his sword, but like thousands
of other men who have risen to the pin
nacle Of eminence in their chosen PRO-
fession he only lacked tact and judg-
ment to clothe his opinions in the lang,
uage Of a diplomat, In that brusque,
decisive and sometimes abrupt manner
that indicates the character of a man
who says what he means and means
what he says the gallant officer,
through the columns of the public press
subscribed his name to bold utterances
and thereby incurred the displeasure
of his superior officers.
There are friends of the administrat-
ion who will not approve the slight to
which General Miles was subjected by
the president and secretary of war. A
man with as brilliant an army record
as the retiring commander-in-chi GER
tainly deserved more than a formal or
der of retirement on relinquishing the
duties of that honorable office. Men

FAITH in Astoria and Oregon is our
only excuse for entering the newspaper
field In Astoria.
With this issue we assume control OF
the Astorian, daily and semi-weekly,
the entire plant having been purchased
as a basis OF operations in our chosen
field. In addition to the Astorian We
have secured membership in the Asso-
ciated Press Association and acquired
control of the Lower Columbia country
SO far as that corporations interest
goes. The Astorlan will be conducted
on the theory that this region Is enti-
tied TO the news of the world and the
world is entitled to the news of this sec
tion, and no efforts will be spared to
put this theory into practice.
The best interests of newspaper and
the community in which it is maintain
ed are intertwined and inseparable,
and il is not without sense of the re-
sponsibilities and duties that attach to
a paper of the age of the Astorian that
we presume to guide its destiny.
Astoria and the Lower Columbia
country in common with the entire
northwest, have important interests to
guard, resources to exploit, industries
to develop, and to contribute to these
ends what lies within a newspapers
sphere is the purpose of the present
management.
The paper win continue republican in
politics. The proprietors have no enc
mics TO punish and no private nor cor
porate interests to serve, and public
questions will be discussed in the
papers columns without bias.
Delays.incident to change of manage
ment, leave temporary handicap,
which will be overcome in day or two.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1903-08-11

who have achieved less than he in the
service OF the country have been eulog-
gized. and fittingly too, for their deeds
of daring and soldierly qualities, but
because General Miles was unfortunate
enough to "antagonize the administra-
ton" he was not eulogiEed, the presi-
dent and the secretary Of war 'deem-
ing him undeserving of the honorable
distinction"
But 1t is not as diplomat or oppon-
ent of the administration that fair
minded citizens win Judge General
Miles. The pages of American history
will mete out the full measure of honor
able mention due him. and the credit
that is denied him by the press of the
country today will be inscribed in the
volumes, written by future historians,
the men who perpetuate the memory
of the nations heroes.
The old soldiers who for twenty years
secuted the west side by side with Gen.
eral Miles in the days when the Indians
made scalp hunting their proud spor
will not forget him in his retirement;
neither will the old veterans of the
Civil war, and the younger veterans of
the Spanish-American war
At the advanced age of sixty-four
General Miles is entitled to retirement:
I has been honorably earned, and all
who propose to be patriots of the
United States will wish him long life
and happiness, and something more ap-
rropriate and generous than post-mort-
EN- eulogieh from the powerful press of
mighty nation.
