THINGS THAT EXIST.

The past is useful only as it Of
fers lessons for the building OF the
future. Astoria owes just such an
immense sum OF money and is rela-
lively responsible for an immense lot
more. The past, and the Citizens
party have made these facts exist
ant. Denial win not change them,
nor they are to be qualified by any
lust of Office. They are bold, cold
facts to be weighed in the balance OF
public safety and progress, and they
will weigh down even the pride that
might have borne up against them, il
the people who wrought them were
not seeking reelection, along with
another huge burden Of the same
sort
II ever we were up against biting
lesson in public thrift, we are there
now. Every soul Of us wants inn
provements, but we do not want
them to the extent of sacrificing the
whole future of Astoria and placing
her in the lists OF beggared munich

CHEAP MUcK1NG.

There is a rumor going about the
city, in an irresponsible vehicle, evil
IDENTIFY set in motion by Candidate A..
NJ. Smith, to the effect that Mr.. FL
more, while mayor OF Astoria, engi-
neered a contract for the city print
ing into the Office OF the Morning
Astorian at an exorbitant rate, etc,
and to show the peurile fallacy
Of the canard, II is but necessary to
say that Samuel Elmore was only
Mayor Of the city for few weeks;
that he did not have the letting Of
any contracts whatever; that the
council attended to that sort of busi-
ness; that he did not own the As
torian at that time, and would not
have done the thing even if he want
ed to, which is the more obvious be-
cause of the fact that the contracts
for public printing have ever been let
to the lowest bidder. And it may be
said, in passing, that Mr.. Elmore
would have been the first man in the
council chamber to turn down and
out vicious and robbing contract OF
any kind. If it had been passed up
to him, especially if it was going to
any Of his private enterprises, on the
simple ground of avoiding just such
fool charges as this one. And, again,
in passing, he is not drawing down
20 per cent of the printing-contract
money now put out by the city, as
Mr. Smith is, to recoup himself on
a newspaper deal that left him no
other alternative. Mr. Smith is moi
to be blamed for thus securing him.

with poor grace for him to talk pub

SOME MORE FIGURES.

We are publishing some more figures
this morning. They are just as true
as all we have presented, and that is
as true as the public records can
make them. They show, as do all the
others, that never, since the Citizens
party went into power, has it lower
ed the taxes, nor the millage Of the
city of Astoria, but has steadily ad-
vanced both, and provided the fun
dament for the advances. 1t has been
their policy, always, to ignore the
debt Of the city, except in the matter
Of increasing it; and they have been
wildly and widely successful.
or course, some genial traficker
in buncombe municipal assets, will
probably come to the front with a
statement alleging the falsity of these
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-12-06

hard and fast figures; but the figures
remain, all the same, and tell their
story today, just as they win tell it
in the chill precincts of bankrupt
cy court some of these days, when
the aforesaid traficker has had his
way.
We commend these tables to the
earnest consideration of every man
with a home, a business and an in
terest in this city. They are part of
his civic education, and will stand
him in hand when he comes to weigh
the relative claims Of the men who
are responsible for them as against
the men who are pledged TO amend
them.

THAT'S THE Stuff

In its frantic effort to boost Hon.
A. NJ. Smith for the mayoralty, the
Evening Budget, Of yesterday, pays
him a very cross-eyed compliment,
by saying:
AT this particular time it is essen
tial that the city have as its chief
executive not only careful and
conscientious business man but also
q man perfectly familiar with the le-
gal rights and obligations Of the city
and 3 just appreciation of the inn
portanee of each department This
Is made imperative on account OF the
dangers that threaten the city and
property owners through casualties
that ordinary prudence and fore
sight could not have well guarded
against under the circumstance, but
which have nevertheless placed the
city in that position where the serv-
ices Of an able and honest and legal
" skilled mayor is very desirable"
The whole city is frank to admit
the need Of a lawyer to unravel the
snarl in which it is wrapped, but,
good a lawyer as Mr.. Smith IS
known to be, he is not the par
ticuIar lawyer for this particular
case. He has had far too much to
do with it already 1t is necessary
remove him as quickly and as re-
motely as possible, from all official
touch with the municipal establish
ment. He is far too good lawyer
10 be mayor, and besides it were un-
Just TO expect him to act in both
capacities without salary in either
behalf: even his enemies would pro-
nounce that unfair, and if he were
acting as Astoria's unpaid mayor he
could not, under the law Of the land
act as her paid attorney; and again
besides, he is already charged with a
heavy suit against the city for dam
ages alleged to have been received
by a lady client Of his, and he could
not be expected to prosecute the city
and defend the city at one and the
same time, in that relation. Not on
your iifel
Yes, there is going to be enough
need for an attorney, but we are moi
going to repeat the insolence Of tht
Budget in ignoring City Attorney
c. Fl. Abercrombie, who is wei
qualified enough TO guard her inter
ests, and when that gentleman re
quires assistance he will make i
known and receive it from hand
that are freer to serve in this direc
ton that a mayors would be.
Sure, the city is going to need
lawyer, several of them, perhaps, bu
the City Attorneys Office will in al
likelihood suggest the time, man an'
cause, when it becomes necessary t.
