Th commercial in-tinvt hud anoth er fullsome expression in the disaster that has overtaken the Valencia and her eight score people. Fvery master mariner of this day end time, ha one supreme edict behind kirn that super cede every provision c( carter, chart; and rule of the road at sea, and that is "TIME". This the fii,t essential, and must be observed if every man and thing on earth i sacrificed. A fast ship takes on added value with every "minute she saves her owneis in transit. and her captain is supposed to keep this everlastingly in mind. A charted coat, well lighted, euuippe with every facility for live-saving, sparred and buoyed and marked, hedged like a country lane, is all ritht for the "wind jammer" ud tirt "drogher", but the crack steamship must ignore them all if one precious moment may bj husbanded. It is the cardinal decree of tranportation alios, and ashore, and hundreds of thousands of lives pay annual tribute, to its observance. A lifetime of experience at fa offers no justification nor alternative for this insane and invulnerable cole of "busi ness", and it is time Congress should take a lund in the mutter and enact laws that shall not le disregarded. Give a steamer her time limit; put a mechanical register on lird under government seal and establish im mense penalties for its violation. Do something that liall re.linc this con tinual and dreadful destruction of human life. This Is nil beyond the exigencies of weather conditions. They have their place in the final calcula tions incident to such 'catastrophes. That goes without saving. But the primal eut for ninety per cent of the disasters at sea and on railroad is found in the adherence, to this craw for "time", and the iirnnii should lie abated by some power -hhI to the task. THE CHASTER OP 1907. It is hoped by everyone concerned that the new charter of Astoria will be the best in the Inn! in the way of organic municipal law. That it will provide amply for the lietter ImihIwiiJ ing of her resourt-es, riimH-l and ma terial; that it will oflVr the last and bext methods for her etpnu-ion and adornment; that it rill Ik- carefully, simply and hone.lh- drawn in lielial of every civic advantage applicable here, and that it will be so plain that everyone outside the legal profeanion may read, construe and apply it ea-ily and comprehensively. But, e ay again, none of these thins will lie ap parent in the new bill, if lawyers and politicians are to dominate its framing We want to make 0'ir position plain on this head, so If it shall lie necessary to revert to the subject again, we may do so without Meeting the charge of meddling, or of partisan interference EDITORIAL SALAD. President Castro terms to recognise no uch thing as closed season in international trouble-hunting. o Clicago' Council h.s just voted that it wnta the street railways and Santa daua has plenty of tint to think about the re.ju.st before making his list of gift for the poor. A story is told of man who, cross ing a disused coal S-'ld late at night, fell into an apparently bottomleea pit and svel himself only by grasping a projecting beam. There he clung with great difficulty all night, only to find when day dawned that his feet were onlv four inches from the bottom. 0 A native Indian ruler owns a musi cal bed. The weight of the body set the works in motion, and it plays half an hour, while life sued figure of Grecian maidens at its bead and foot finger- stringed instruments. Fans are waved by a concealed motor," which keeps them going the whole lilght long 0 Governor Yardamau of Mississippi gets in all the newspaper headlines again by thrashing a negro convict de tailed as a sen ant in the executive mansion at Jackson. Even a negro "trust" has use not to be despised in the Governor's philosophy of eelf- advertisement. 0 According to one of the Brooklyn po lice, it is the "piggies", boys seven teen of eighteen years old, who raise the chief rumpus on the bridge at rush hours. The "piggies" as well as the "hogs" are now carefully looked after by the police, and as a consequence it seems as though the bridge nuisance were in a fair way to be abated. That's a plume for Geueral llingham's helmet Every man knows the difficulty an agony of a refrattory collar stud Y5th a breakfast to eat, a train to catch and an appointment to keep, few things are more maddening than the collar which simply will not ally itself to the stud. But few things are so ewy to remedy. All that is neeesary is to dip the thumb and forefinger in water and slightly moisten the obsti nate buttonhole Then the stud slips in without a murmur. 0 Tt is agr.eable to rote that various religious, educational an! philanthropic liodies are preparing to welcome with courteous hospitality the imperial com missioners who are on their way hither from China, but it is to be hoped something more than that will be dmie to signalize their visit to the American metropolis. The occasion properly, and indeed urgently, calls for public anil official recognition of a distinguished character jind steps to that end should be taken promptly. An emigrant's outtit, including cow, was in a lorwani car oi a rvaicas train, the emigrant Miuaelf being in the calioose. The train was making average time when the man suddenly exclaimed, while looking out of the cabooe. window: "Why, there is my cow," pointing to an animal that stood grazing beside tM- track. The train men told' him he mu-t be mi-tak n but he in-i-td that, he was right and finaly succeeded in having the train stopped. Going forward, the door of the car was found open and the cow gone. It wt not injured in the least by the fall from the train, and was grating within a minute after the time it stiluk the ground. 0 Justii-e Gilderaleeve decides that it is not unlawful to sell spirituoua li quors to children of tender years when they ar sent to barrooms by adults as mes-ngers for that puriose. We must accept the decision as a sound interpre tation of the law, but we must also legard the law as deplorably inade quate and in need of instant amend ment. The object of the law unques tionably" was not merely to prohibit Hie mle 0 liquors to minors for their own drinking something which would in anv ea-e seldom h- done but also to prevent the sending of children In to ill ink itii places as messengers for their ehlers somctliiiig which is often done and will doubtless be much more often done now that this decision shows it may be done with impunity Justice Gilder-leeve is quite right in saying that the practice of having children of tender y. ars "rush the growler." though not criminal, "should be severely coinlemn-'d and discourag ed." Tt should also 1 declared illegal and put into the criminal category as soon as it Is possible for the legislature to enact a law to that effect. A STORM IN THE JUNGLE.

Tbeu tbe air grew cooler and tbe green of tbe foliage In front teemed to deepen, and presently there was a sound at of a giant waterfall In the distance.

When a Rou manian girl it of a tnnrrlogeable age, all her trousseau, which hat been care fully woven, spuu uud embroidered by her mother aud herself, It placed lu a painted wotsleu box. When a youiig liian thliiku of asking to tie allowod to pay bit attentions to the girl be It nt liberty at Drat to oHn the box, which It alwayt placed conveniently at hauil, ond exatnlue the trousseau.

Tht Morning Astoria n, ftSo a month. Recent statistics indicate that the United Stales hat aearty 30 per rent of the railroad mileage of the world That is a notable showing, teeing that this country has only about S per cut of the population of the World. On the other hand. It has scarcely more than T pc cent of tht world's ocean ship ping. Tht contrast between the two l doubtless partly explainable by the greater profile reaped from land than from ocean transposition, ye It i also suggestive of the desirability of making the latter la some way more profitable, so that It may be increased to an amount at least nearly cunnien aurate with that of tht former.
