WOMEN In BAR-R0oMS.

The keynote of the ugly situation

the order was sent out to keep women
from the bar-rooms Of the city.
This move broke away the vital allure
ment and deadened the initial step To
debauchery, and was the most whole.
some procedure taken in many a month.
From the hour it was put into effect,
there has been a constant exodus from
this city Of the people who had become
absolutely unnecessary here, and the
closing of the dancehalls, though pre-
cedent step, was sealed once for all,
with the second but most important
mandate.
It was high time some such steps were
taken and the city will feel the impetus
of IT later on. Reactionary movements
Of this sort are always momentarily
deadening, but the effect wears off in
time and normal conditions ensue; and
Astoria is not destined to suffer unduly
from this movement to purify her muni-
cipal skirts. She will get credit for it
at home and abroad and profit by it
immensely in the end. The plea that 1t

INDUSTRY VERSUS POLITICS


As the years 20 by with their evi.
dences and results apperainting to the
great industry of salmon fishing on the
Pacific the more we are welded to our
conviction that the business must be
absolutely divorced from politics II u
is to flourish and expand under the
nurture that is provided.
Ii state aid and superintendent is to
make no more real progress in the mat
ter than is Of record to this date, it
were better that the whole matter be
left to the fishermen and the Gamers
and all statutory requirements cancelled
at once and forever. The great trade
would get along infinitely better in the
hands of experts trained to its last es-
sential, than to have that expert inter-
est invaded and hampered by an offic-
ialism at once incompetent and costly.
The question is vital one to this
whole upper coast country and in al
that realm it is conceded that the fisher
and the Gamer are the only people whc
really know the actualities of habit
and season and development OF the
salmon fish; and the logic Of leaving
the manipulation of the industry to
them permitting them to devise and
control the hatchery operations, is be-
coming more and more apparent every
season, nor win step in this direction
be very boldly disparaged II it shall
be taken.

large proportion Of the men At the heads
OF the various railroad companies are

lii Il stated on good authority that sixty
per cent Of the officials Of the steel In

Such Is the demand for the man with
a technical education that writer In a
recent number Of national industrial
publication refers to him as the auto
erat of the business world,n meaning
that he may command almost any salary
within reason The same writer cites
the fact that industrial employers are
eagerly seeking the graduates Of the
technical schools, and mentions an In
stance where one firm wanted to employ
the entire graduating class Of a we'll
known engineering university
No single agency has done so much
TO give men technical training as has
the International Correspondence Schools
OF Scranton, Pa. BY the unique meth
ods Of this great institution, young men
may gain thorough technical training
in all the leading engineering trades and
professions, without giving up any EN-.
ployment that they may have. In al.
most all large industrial concerns OF
America these Schools have graduates

universities. The Schools can point 10
thousands of cases where men formerly

managers, foreman. or heads Of their

wood platform two feet long to a
fiat tail so feet long The forward
section contains the motor, from
