The Tuttle charter bill hta passed both houses ot the legislature. It wasjebitdren at home Is Inconceivable. a foregone -conclusion that it would it ues seem strange. Is this era of wealth's plentitude and what is hailed as universal prosperity, to read of 70, pass as the democrats had resorted to the lowest depths of political infamy to defeat it The Astorlan represent ing nine-tenths of the people of Aa- toria favored the measure. It cannot be claimed as a victory, as the oppon ents of the measure only represented a small minority element of the defunct democratic i party. The press of the city favored the Tuttle bill. Of course. there was an infinitesimal decimal, the cube root of a vacuum, that he-hawed - occasionally; In; expression of -disapproval, but no one outside of the silver star trio knowing how the official or gan of the Swilltown board of traJe was greased for the occasion, paid any attention to the italicised editorials emlnating from the Salvation Army barracks, whose gyrating proclivities have been a stench in the nostrils of the city administration. Gentlemen who aspire to be editors ought to be allowed to shed the in . fan tile garments before being permit ted to enter the Eanctum sanatorium of respectable Journalism. It is a victory of honest government over political chicanery. It is an admonition to the people of Aatorla that a one man ad ministration will not be tolerated in Astoria. It is evidence of the fact that the people want a police commission de jure Instead of one defacto. It em phasizes the fact that the honest vot ers of Astoria cannot be outcounted by the police force and its coterie of vag rants who are protected by the police force for political purposes. wniie the Astorlan (joes not ap prove of all the features of the Tuttle bill, particularly that part taking away the salary of the councllmen, yet In view of the bitter personal light that has been made It was not expedient to eliminate any of the proposed amend ments. It is very probable that that part of the bill will not be enforced during the present Incumbents' term of office, and should not be enforced. The laborer is worthy of his hire, and an efforts to either reduce or cut off sal aries will not be Indorsed by the peo pie. With this exception the charter bill will be beneficial to the future ad ministration of the city. . The will of the people may be de feated by the veto power of a demo cratJc - governor, but the will of the people has been expressed. The only hope of the democracy to defeat the measure is through the democratic governor. Eut whether Cie charter bill becomes a law or not, It shows the disapproval of a large majority of the . people of Astoria of the methods thai have been. In vogue by the democratic party of Astoria who Is and has been afraid to come out under its party same, but has been voted into power under a nomde plume. The Astorlan has refrained from en tering into a controversy over the charter bill except when it was neces Bary to disapprove some of the mis leading statemesta published! In the official organ of the Swilltown board of trade, and even then it would have been more preferable if a pair of tongs could have been utilized in handling the slimy vermin and stench emitted from the Salvation Army barracks. Cantaglous diseases require desperate remedies and it waa only with the ob- 000 school children in the great city of New York, the heart which supplies the . nation's gold arteries, so pitia bly poor that they must go to school every morning without having haJ bite of breakfast. If some demagogic agitator had made this assertion. It might have been accepted with a large grain of salt, but It happens to have . been made by Robert Hunter, an eminent sociologist and social settlement work er in the great metropolis, after first band investigations, and Superintend ent Maxwell of the New York public schools, confirms lb with the declara tion that in all probability Mr. Huntet is too low in his figures. , Under the compulsory school law In force In New York these children of the very poor must attend school, and the pinched state of their stomachs Is not taken into account by teh author ities. Every day thousands of them sit at their desks with hunger actual hunger gnawing at their vitals, too sick and weak to study, distempered tisions of food blotting from theli wolfish young eyes and deadened brains the A B C In their primers Sometimes some of them faint or are overcome by nausea, the result of long abstinence from food. Naturally, they make poor progress in their books, and In many instances the teacher remains in Ignorance of the reason. Many of the little sufferers would never admit they came to school without their breakfast Mr. Hunter, In his book, "Poverty which has furnished the starved school child sensation, says there are always 100,000 "worthy" men out of employment Is New York city who cannot obtain work. Their families, where they have families, are on the ragged edge of utter destitution, but not willing objects to public charity. They conceal their true condition as long aa possible, and In not a few In stances choose tragedy to publicity. Each family in this out-of-work class Is estimated to have one child in the public schools of the city, and these little ones feel the fangs of the wolf most keenly. New York is somewhat wrought up over these extreme poverty disclos ures In its public schools and has be. guns an racial investigation. Tht charitable authorities are already in conference over the matter and the result will probably be the establish ment of the Paris system of school kitchens and refectories, which sup ply the hunger-pinched children of the poor with little breakfasts and lunche without appearing to do charity. The system has worked successfully If Paris for a quarter of a century anj the problem is not a new one 'to tht large urban centers of Europe. Here is a great opportunity for some of our millionaire philanthropists, and, if the investigation la extended to oth er American cities, it will probabl) be found that the opportunity Is by no means confined to New York. The wonder is the discreditable and dis tressing condition has not forced it sell upon the eye and conscience of the public before. Strike While the Iron le Hot and keep it hot by Itrlklng.

The really important question is, In what does predisposition consist? We talk of a man "catching a cold." But It would be more correct and equally graphic to say that the cold has "caught" the man, for It doea catch him unawares and often when he least anticipates it Bat no cold ever caught any man unless he had firit prepared the ground for It by a careful process of fertilization. No amount of mere exposure to a low temperature alone will cause "cold" In a perfectly healthy man In whom the product of wear and tear of nerve and muscle with adequate excretion of waste products on the one aide is even ly balanced by food supply and exercise on the other. Where this equilibrium does not exist such exposure then op erates as a "chill." Now, who are the people who are liable to catch cold? Not those whole dietary ia so carefully adjusted to the work they have to do that there is no opportunity for the accumulation of un used foodstuffs in their Uiwues, but those who in the better fed ranks of society eat and drink more than they need to meet the dally requirements of their bodily activity and are thus con tinually storing up in their tlHsues and excretes organs material which If ap propriately nsed would form valuable ammunition for the development of energy either of body or mind, but which when stored beyond a certain point has to be blown off in a "cold" or a "bullous attack" or in a more pro nounced fit of gout Dr. Francis T. Bond, a London Expert Hearts attaned o Jw. There is lot of fun in the world If we keep our fun eyes open and our hearts attuned to Joy.
