The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1905-11-22

Truth in politics is just as essential as
in any other relation of life, where
person or a newspaper is dealing with the
public. The Budget in its political vale
dictory on Monday evening, laboriousiy
endeavors to sidestep the literal and le-
gal facts of the case when it alleges
that the matters of dance-halls and
gambling in this city. are purely and
solely of State provision and County
regulation. 1t knows this as well as
anyone in Astoria, but, having entered
the local fight from its inherent and
rightful basis of Democratic afiiliation,
it must, of necessity hedge against the
discovery by the public of the real issue
behind the Citizens movement as led
and fostered by the Democrats, that Of
a "wIDE OPEN TOWN" But its feeble
plea in extenuation of the nasty pro-
gram is futile as it is shallow, and Is
in apt accord with the whole sneaking
design of the Demo-Citizen schedule:
For the benefit OF those who may have
conceded momentary tribute of belief
to the idle conclusions of the Budget in
this relation, we cheerfully reprint the
text of the Citizens own charter on this
head, as set up and endorsed by them in
1893, as follows:
Section l:-No person or persons
shall, within the corporate limits of the
City Of Astoria, open, set up, or keep,
either as owner, proprietor, keeper, man.
ager, employe, with or without hire,
lessee or otherwise, any gaming or
gambling house, or any house or place
where any banking or any other game
is played with cards, dice, cheen, but
tons, or any other device, for anything
of value, whether the same be played
for money, checks or credits, or any
other representative Of value"
While the prosecutions against the
dance-hall evils were carried on under
the terms of Section 1880 of the Statu-
tes of Oregon, there are ample Charter
provisions to hold the custom in abey-
nee and indeed in utter subjection to
police regulation, If that regulation was
imposed, and enough of public moral
srlrit to enforce and endorse such police
interference, if the same was exercised.
The Bulge knows these things without
this presentation of them, and, except
for very palpable cause, 1t would not
stultify itself so absolutely as it has, in
the premises.
The simple truth Of the matter, is that
the Democrats have conceived the
scheme of restoring Democratic political
ascendaRcy in the County of Clatsop:
They cannot do this without the aid OF
others: lhtTe are ho O1leis " oo7A7N
save the "Citizens" and few dissaffect-
ed Republicans; 1t is essential that a
basic move be made to capture the City
of Astoria as a predicate for success at
the County polls in June next. To cap
ture the municipal outpost, the most al
Turing bait that can be devised at pres
ent, is TO pledge the abandonment OF
the restrictions imposed upon the pro-
scfibed element of the city. towit, the
gamblers, the dive-keepen, the dance
hall men, and their cOnsorts; and once
Astoria falls. their way to success is
made very plain and straight and easy
They won't admit . word Of this. They

their plan and progress uatil the mo-

OUR MINOR AFFAIRS
Occurrences Of Interest in Various
Parts Of the State.
The Farmers at Clemson College.

Clemson College, Special.-There
were over 800 farmers present at the
opening meeting Of the farmers IN
stitute Tuesday night This IS the
largest first nights attendance on re-
cord. The attendance this year Will
very likely reach 1000. The general
average of intelligence seems to DO
higher, and certainly the farmers are
better dress ed and more hopeful than
any set that has yet been at Glenn
son. There are more young men pres
ent than usual, though there are many
gray heads to be seen. The first ses-
sion was held at 8 O'Clock. Dr. r.
H. Nell made the address OF welcome
and made the farmers feel at home.
He spoke Of what the State is doing
for the cause of agriculture. Out OF
the 62O applications already on file
in the presidents Office 1Ss have Sc
lected the agricultural course. He
stated that the college is closed to
all outside Of the State and that many
in the State were shut out, but that
with their assistance the time would
vet come when the doors Of Clemson
College would be thrown open to ev-
cry boy in South Carolina who wanted
to come. DR.. Nell then introduced
Prof. J. N. Harper, TIE new head OF
the agricultural department, who has
charge of the institute. DR.. Harper
won the farmers in his short earnest
speech, and introduced Senator Till
man, whose subject was raising hogs.
Contrary to what everybody expected
the senator had written his speech
and, after few Introductory remarks
read it in a cool deliberate way. He
stated that he had asked to be al
lowed to talk to the farmers on this
subject; that he knew something
about it, for he had read several
books on the subject and had put up
5000 pounds Of fine meat from 20
hogs. The senator then read his
speech, telling the best breeds, how
to select, how to care for, the best
and cheapest feeds, how to kill and
cure and preserve it, etc. The speech
was full of interest and was atten-
lively listened to.

The Get.Rich-Q Quick Fsllacy.

In this commercial age when a man
gets on to some scheme that will make
a wagon load Of money he does not
hunt around for some other man to
get the profits, but he goes straight.
way and takes them in for himself.
The only protection against these
sharpers Is to be suspicious Of all In.
vestments promising very large re-
turns.
ANY business man of standing can
cheat his customers If be has a mind
to do 1t, because they have confidence
in him, but these same customers
would at once become suspicious Of a
stranger who should offer them an in.
vestment that promised 100 per cent.
profit in six months, because they
would know that II the man had such
a sure investment any good bank
would advance the money on it for a
reasonable interest.
Anything as safe as Government
bonds always brings small returns.
The man with the swindle and the
get-rich-quick concern does not look
for the man who is willing to invest
in Government bonds, but for the man
who wants to speculate and make large
profits. Almost any man without
money thinks that if he only had few
thousand dollars he could make fabu.
lous sums in a very short time, and
when he gets the money he Is ready
to buy q gold brick.-Witchita Eagle.

Tight vehicle. Having occasion to

son, laughing.
by that clock?" continued the lad,
pointing to street clock in front OF a
jewelers..
Yes" said the fnancier, much
amused.
"All right" assented the boy, with
a sudden alacrity in contrast with his
previous hesitation.
Mr.. Lawson performed his errand
and emerged again from the Office
building.
How must do owe you?" he asked
the boy.
1.-TWO hundred and seven dollars"
WHAT"
"By the clock, mister
Mr.. Lawson glanced at the clock
an advertisement. 1t contained no
works, but was operated by currents
of air. and the hands were revolving
with the rapidity of a pin wheel.
Il thought Wall streeters could do
more business on wind than anybody
else," gasped Mr.. Lawson, but this
takes my time!"-Success.

Simmons, wealthy naval stores and
