a SURVIVING Relic of Barbarism.

When in the nineteenth century pro-
gressive civilization drove from the face
of the earth into the clark domain" of
the "unrelenting past those two long
lingering relics of barbarism, piracy and
tie transoceanic slave trade, civilized
humanity was tardily relieved of two of
its most odous disgraces. But in those
greatly benefcent achievements civiliza-
ton did not complete its work, nor did IL
impair its virility. Other relics OF
barbarism inIour own and other countries
soon followed that hideols pair, bringing
the record of the nineteenth century up
to the highest point ever attained.
And yet when the new century began,
there was still an abundance of work
ready to the hand of progress. If the
twentieth century, in its first decade,
does not send to join piracy and the slave
trade the international crime of using
armed force for the collection of private
debts, a great duty will be shirked and
posterity will find in review of the
doings of this generation greater cause
for shame than for pride.
No government, however constituted
has any moral right to employ its ships
or guns and its fighting men TO collect
debts due its subjects by foreign debtors
This custom is even more unjustifiablt
than it would be for government to us'
detachments of its army or navy, o.
both, in collecting debts at home for its
subjects. Armies and navies are 70
national defense, not for private or per
sonal advantage. When any govern
ment great or small, abuses its powers St
grossly as to send an armed force abroa'
to collect IA private debt, it makes an eX
hbition that shames the civilization o
this age.
The United States is strong enough
and ought to be wise and moral enough
to take the lead in this far-too-long- de
ferred reform. The maintenance of tn
Monroe doctrine demands as the con
plement of that doctrine, declaratio
by the United States that collection {
debts by armed force in this hemispher
must cease that neither itself nor an
Old World power shall invade an
country in this hemisphere or bombar
any town or fort to compel payment {
debt-W Washington Post.

viii Not Sign 0rdinance.-It is re.
ported on good authority that Mayor
Wise has definitely decided not to sign
the new ordinince passed unanimously
on last Monday night by the city coun-
ell, providing for the entering into a
contract with the Astoria Electric Com
pany, to light the city for five years.
According to the information, the May
or does not believe that such long
term contract is advisable, as in his
opinion the city may in the near future
be able to operate and own it's own
plant, The Mayor is allowed ten days
in which to sign the ordinance from
the passage by the council. If Mayor
Wise does not sign the bill, the mat
ter can only be passed over his veto
by a two thirds vote of the council
1t is considered probable that had the
council passed the three year contract
the mayor would have signed the
measure.

when built will be of great advantage
