SELLING BATHS IN PARIS.

There is plenty of water in Paris
and quantities OF il are used on the
streets by men with lines OF hose
made in metallic sections with fiex-
ible joints, each section mounted on
wheels. But it is almost impossible
to get water above the street level
and quite impossible to get any quan.
tity of il hot under normal conditions.
Only few of the very newest houses
in Paris have water above street level.
This is true of hotels as we'll as OF
private houses. A hotel keeper may
send up quart of hot water to your
room, but filling tub would proba-
bly, be beyond the capacity OF his es-
tablishment.
Many Parisians bathe in big bath
houses, which line the Seine. In
places these houses occupy greater
part of the river. But il Partisan
wants hot bathe at home, he turns
to the peripatetic bath tub. This
originates in bathing establishment
OF which there are many. The bath
man, as he leaves this establishment,
has two straps over his shoulders and
he stands between the shafts of a
two-wheeled cart. On this cart is a
tank surmounted by a substantial
bath tub, provided with castors In
front of the tank hangs two large
metal buckets and yoke. The bath
man draws this apparatus through
the streets to your house.
When you want hot tub, you
order one delivered at time fixed
| The bath man comes around with his
apparatus, stops in front of your
house, lifts the tub from the top Of
the tank, puts it over his head like a
hood and carries it upstairs to your
room. Returning to the street he
draws hot water in the buckets, hangs
them at each end OF the yoke which
he carries across his shoulders, and
so conveys water to the tub, When
the tub is full he retires and you take
your bath. Then he comes upstairs,
empties the tub by means OF his buc-
kets and carries the tub and buckets
away, His passage through the
streets is an everyday sight to the
Partisan and arouses no comment

LOCAL OPTION FURRY.

The law of the land has placed in
the hands of the people weapon of
rebuke and reprisal devised to oper-
ate exclusively against the saloon in
terests of every community in Oregon
when there shall be a demand for its
application, to-wit, the local option
law.
Like all other special laws it should
be used with exceeding care and time
illness; sentiment is not all there is
to the application of the law; there
are always the elements Of justice and
fair-dealing and orderliness, in the in
voking of these peculiar and definite
edicts, these single idea processes,
wherewith society is invested; and the
spirit behind their establishment is
not one of devastation and oblitera-
ton, but rather that of an agency to
compel and maintain that regulation
that makes all businesses decent and
fairly acceptable to society.
1t is safe to say that an extraordi-
nary majority of the population of
this city and county are not in favor
of the exercise of this law at any time,
if the saloon people will obey the
other phases of the law regulating
their business; the main thing always,
in the treatment Of these phases Of
public expression, is not to invoke
them in the first place; to stand pat
upon the laws already in force and do
the simple and honest trick of obey
ing, where obedience is the cheapest
and easiest, as well as the legal, thing
to do.
The law says, just now, that the
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-04-22

saloons OF Astoria must close her
metieally on Sunday, and for the "a
hours of that day, II that law is
obeyed the Intervention OF the harsh
er code need not, and will not, be
resorted to; for it is not the wish of
the whole people to drive law-abid-
ing business out OF cxistance; but the
constant and defiant breaking of that
law invites the greater force and
summary terms Of local option, and
the saloon man has himself to thank
for all that follows. No business that
cannot be regulated by decent limita-
tons has any right to existance and
prosperity and the sooner this is un.
derstood to be the conclusion Of the
people generally, the better twill be
for all concerned.
We believe the moment to be in
for the introduction of the
local option program to the business
centre OF Astoria; there are too
many large and valuable business
projects afoot that are liable to be
frustrated and even annihiiated; and
the men to adjust the matter at once,
and perhaps for all time, are the
saloon men who have heretofore re-
used to close their doors when the
aw bade them, course of action at
,nce an injustice to the men in that
business who are trying to observe
he rule, and an insolent challenge |
o the people and the power they hold
n reserve.
Wherefore, obey the law, and we
re with you; break it, and we are
gainst youl

THAT COMMON POINT.

X
Astoria has no particular interest in
the grain rate that shall apply to the
city of Portland in the future and
cares nothing if that city shall get
her grain without any tolls whatever.
What this city and port wants is the
seaboard-terminal, common-point rate
on grain from the interior, that ap-
plies to the Sound cities and San
Francisco. We are entitled to it to
put us on an equal and just footing
for the shipment of grain hence, for
eign; and we are going after it stead
lily and consistently.
The day is not far distant when the
right of Astoria to this rate is to be
tried out and the effort will cover the
whole range of fight and appeal,
hence, to railraod and Government
headquarters.
The Oregonian sets up the feeble
plea that to ship grain 100 miles fur
ther down the river on a down grade,
water-level haul, on the same train
thta brings it to her doors, must Of a
verify add materially to the cost oi
transit; but fails to mention why il
does not increase the rate over the
heavy, slfort-train grades, that lead
into Seattle and Tacoma on an un-
disturbed margin; nor what becomes
of the ships expense-bills over that
same 100 miles when she goes to the
metropolis after the grain she might
load within II miles of her ofing;
nor that her transit is doubled on the
river as against her brief detention
and cargoing here.
1t will all come in due time; and
we shall be glad to see Portland get
the benefit of any and all differentials
that may fall to her; but for the sake
of the Eastern Oregon farmer and
his neighboring compeer of Idaho and
Montana, we want the Common
point, along with the grain, or so
much of it as can be handled out OF
this port with despatch and economy.
That is all we ask.
The first ship loaded out Of Astoria
will fix the business at this port for
all time to come, however slow it may
be in maturing as a policy.
