MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS.
The message of Mayor Wise to the
council Monday night anent contracting
bills, contrary to the provisions of the
ordinances of the city, is in accord with
suggestions made by the Astoria n a long
time since. The business of a municipal
corporation should be conducted along
the same lines as a private business en
terprise. No business man would think
of allowing his clerks to go out and buy
goods or supplies or make contracts,
without first consulting him. The many
bills on file in the office of the auditor
and police judge for supplies purchased
by the different departments, show ex
travagance in many instances and
charg's for goods that is exhorbitant
and more than is charged other people.
Political debts are often paid by the
award of contracts, even for small
amounts, and it is to cure this evil that
caused Mayor Wise to send his mess.ige
to the council.
The suggestion that the council make
out a list of supplies required for each
department, and advertise for bids for
furnishing them, is a matter worthy of
careful consideration by the council, al
though it is doubtful if the suggestions
will be acted upon. It will certainly
give every merchant an opportunity to
bid, and result in securing necessary
supplies much cheaper than they are
now furnished.

Accomplished Facts Are
The Foes of Progress
By Pruldent WOODROW WIUON of Princeton Unlvtnlty
IT is tho duty ut tlic university to sproml out tho map of life
Htul to show tho journey. Tho man who is lost is ntill there,
even in a wihlerness. ' T1IK ONLY "MKTIIOP IS TO
STKl'K rOK FIXKD POINTS.
Dollars are not landmarks. T11KV COMK AND 'IT IKY 00.
The thim; for tho university is to ilevoto itself to tcut'liing tho lines of
safety. We are as li; as the thinp we have eoiiijiiereil. Our com
pass is the experience of knowleilire.
There are two remarkable things about our race. First and fore
most is the KXTKAOKDIN AKY force in this country. The ma
jority apparently have overwhelming compulsion.
The university men entertain their own opinions.
The sivind i that nf an accomplished fact,
When otf l.:is done a thing or once a thing has been
divided t'ltd you try to do differently, YOU AKK
TOLD THAT IT IS XO I'SK TKYIXO TO Klv
YKKSK T1IK Till NO. If you were convinced
that even the decision of the supreme court was un
reasonable, would you say anything? Xo mistakes
can be corrected if you believe in ACVOMPMSllKD FACTS.
It is the duty of every man to UKAD THK FAST HISTORY
OF THIS COUNTRY to have opinions of matters that have been
decided mid correct any mistakes that have Ikhmi mude. It is no small
duty that iies before us. What do we intend to dot Must w not
have -nine general scheme of life? Must we not always have the
spirit of de-i-.-ing the best -the truth?
WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STAGE OF THE WORLD'S
AFFAIRS. AND IT WILL BE AWKWARD FOR US IF WE DO NOT
KNOW THE PART WE ARE TO PLAY.

CHILD LABOR LAW.
Remedial legislation in the matter of
the child labor law seems to be a ne
cessity and one that should be consid
ered by the legislative assembly of Ore
gon when it convenes next winter. At
the request of a number of women, who
had interested themselves in trying to
gave the young boys from becoming
criminals, a law was enacted four years
ago by the legislature, prohibiting chil
dren under- 14 years of age. from being
employed in any telephone, telegraph,
manufactures or other indutry. A
commission was appointed to enforce
the provisions of the law, but so far as
the enforcement is concerned, it is ap
parent that no well directed efforts have
been made and the law to'lay is virtual
ly a dead letter and cumbersome to the
statutes of Oregon. That some legi-la-tion
in this direction is necessary admits
of no doubt.
Our child labor law is admittedly one
of the best in the United States. Its
enforcement, however, leaves much to
be desired, but supposing for the sake
of the argument, that all eva-ions there
of can be stopped, there remains the
question of the boy of 14 who leaves
school but does not go into any gainful
occupation. Many instances of this kind
not icilile in Astoria and the police find
it difficult to even enforce the curfew
ordinance on account of strenuous op
position from parents.
The question is a very seiious one.
The criminal classes in the larger cities,
and noticably, Portland, is greatly and
constantly reinforced by recruits from
boys between 14 and 16 years of age;
Children Should Be
Inured to Hardship
By U. H. KINCSLEY, Suptrintr ndent of Schooli. Ivinitou. III.
I THINK ten or fifteen vears cm the farm is the best thing for
tho hoy of today. NO SYSTEM OF ATHLKTICS over
takes the place of the life and training he gets TIIKRK. The
i.!ial condition is to have children inured to hardships. For
three ve;:rs I got up at 5 o'clock in the morning, milked fivo cowb and
walked five miles to school and during that time was never tardy or
absent from school or from a recitation, and I have little sympathy for
children t.day who live under the shadow of the sehoolhouse and can't
get to si-hoo! on time.
THE MOST VALUABLE LESSON IS THAT WHICH EXCITES THE
GREATEST EFFORT ON THE PART OF THE CHILD. THE COPY
BOOK IS THE LOWEST FORM OF EDUCATIONAL TRAINING, AND
THE MULTIPLICATION TABLE IS THE NEXT.
The name of Dr. '. K. T.inton, Repub
lican .uelidatc for coroner was unin-
tentional'v ornitt"! from the li-t of j
candidates who had filed their nomina
tion. Doc. however, is certain he will
he .-ct-d and -ays he will put a nail
ill til" coUii) tiu-t.
The dies-makers in convention as-em-bled
have been -howing how it is pos.
sible to make a woman with a poor form
look as if she lead the physical propor
tions of a Venus. Isn't this likely to in
terfere with the confidence of the mas
culine enthusiast?
Cured Consumption.
Mrs. B. V. Evans, Clearwater, Kan.,
writes, My husband lay sick for three
months. The doctors said he had quick
consumption. We procured a bottle of
Ballard's Hoarehound Syrup, and it
cured him. That was six years ago and
since then we have always kept a bot
tle in the house. We cannot do with
out it. For coughs and colds it has no
equal. 25c, 50c and $1.00. Sold by

HAS FEWEST MISTAKES.
Woman Makes Record for Clean Work
on Typewriter.
CHICAGO, March 20. In the speed
contests on typewriters at the National
Business Show last evening, a woman
made the record for the smalhst num
ber of mistakes in her copy. She was
Miss Elizabeth Baker, and in half an
hour she wrote 4085 words, making mis
takes in only 52 of them. This was
sufficient to place her in fourth place,
the first prize being caried off by Charles
If. Mcfliinin. of Kalamazoo. Mich., who
defended his title of champion "typist"
of America by writing 4027 words in
thirty minute, an average of 154 words
a minute,
H. Otis Blaisdell, of Chicago, won
second place with a record of 4238 words.
Third place went to Eniil A. Trefzger
of Peoria who last year won the cham
pionship r.f Illinois.

anything the dealer may choose

If you are buying talcum, then
MENNEN S BOkATED TAL-

Pictimil of Bo
CL'M is the only preparation
which you can buy with satisfaction.
"Talk is cheap." Talcum, however,
is not so cheap, bc-ca-.sc it costs the
dealer more and makes his pi lit less.
That's why he'd sootier sell you talk
than "tak'uni"of the .'cm:c:i Brand.
Don't be talked out of buying Mcr.nen's
