The child labor evil Is fast reach ing a degree of importance when na tional legislation or at least national recognition will become Imperative. Laws designed to regulate or restrict the evil have been passed by almost every state legislature, but the Indif ference or Ignorance of officials sup posed to enforce the laws renders such Funeral Pyre Will Be Beyond the City legislation - practically inoperative, The trouble has come from a lack of publio Interest. The people as a mass have not understood or appreciated the real danger to the nation and to the Individual bound to result from the working of mere chttdren for gain, The subject hfta more In It than sen tlment; It almost teaches the dignity arrived In thla city from up Seattle of a grave national peril. way a group of four Hindoo They For several years an organisation wer th, of th., tB Mn.h Known as me National Child Labor Die Hospital MR.

It begins to look as if the ordinary American is incapable of self-government; as If the prescribed condi tions were running away from the prescriptive power; as If the freest People On earth were abjectly dom inated by the co&reat and boldest systems and men possible to organize and maintain. San Francisco Is an apt illustration of the extremities to which the evil has gone; Ruef is the type of a tyranny that is infinitely worse than anything the American ever warred against In the open 'field, and for the sake of the Pacific coast and the country at large, it is hoped that he and his methods may be crushed out and down until the mem ory of them shall be a galling re proach and a bye-word of destatlon In the mouth of man. Sao Francisco, earthauake-strlcken, flre-rlven, strike distracted, was honorable and honor' ed, but San Francisco, Ruef-strlcken, is disgraced beyond redemption, save for an edict and application of law that shall wipe the arch-thief and his organization from the purview of man kind. This has been her year of sor row and shame and spoliation, and the tide must turn sometime. ' 0 ASTORIANS RESPONSIBLE. In the columns of this paper will be found the full text of the proposed amendments to the charter of Astoria. There are fifteen, of them, and they are all significant and have a direct and serious import for the people, Therefore it is the duty of the voter. and especially the tax-paying voter, to scrutinize every word and line and figure, and pass honest Judgment on them, severally and collectively, for his W the entire responsibility for their adoption or rejection. If In the days V come, they, or any of them, shall prove blunders, or impediments or mere vehicles for political manip ulation, the man who voted for them must shoulder his share of the trouble whatever it may be. Now is the time to pass Judgment. It is up to the people. It is no mere question of men or politics. But it is an issue of pol icies upon which the credit and pros perity of the city is predicated and demands thoughtful and timely in vestigation Let no) Astorlan shirk his duty in the case. If there is any detrimental element in the fifteen new laws, he must detect it and vote it down. , 0 work Influencing leriniatinn and thi. though many have been here and committee of which former President I paased through at sailors on the for urover uieveiana ana uarainai uio- elgn vessels that toucF here.

I 11 iMnttful aro Tfoy Who Escape Tho Surgeon Knife AS NEW YORK GOES. The country looks eagerly for the election results in New York State on Tuesday next. The old saying that "as New Tork goes, so goes the country," means something this year. It is the President's State, and the triumph of democracy there will be bitterly suggestive of a denial and repudiation of the magnificent work done by the last congress, and a stul tification of Mr. Roosevelt's own pro gram, and service to the country. We, of the extreme west, are as deeply interested in the outcome there, as her ' nearest neighbor state for her declaration at the polls next week is a national matter in its significance. We believe that Mr. Hughes will win out In unequivocal style and that the Empire state will stand by the na tional power that has manifested so high a purpose in behalf of the com monalty. If Mr. Hearst shall be I Is to those who have a monopoly in the exclusive market product by It It discriminates against all who buy In that market, and against all who use houses or commodities within the "protected" zone. It is the very quint essence of dishonesty; and to advocate such a policy in the name of labor is the very quintessence of hypocrisy. The fact that W. R. Goldschmldtj has Just been appointed chancery reg' istrar of the royal courts of Justice of England recalls an interesting ro mance. There are not perhaps many persons who know he is a son of the famous songstress of the last century. Jenny Llnd, nor is it perhaps widely known outside the family circle that his father, Ott6 Goldschmldt, will, on Tuesday, enter on his seventy-eighth birthday. It is Just a little more than half a century since the famous mu sical professor accompanied the Swed ish nightingale on her tour of the United States and fell in love with her in the course of her successful engagement. , The American man is an ideal lover, as he is an Ideal husband. The Eng lishman has a 'firm belief In the su periority of man, the American man In the spiritual superiority of; wo: man. The English woman does not pull her husband about by the nose, not if he is big enough to remonstrate and pull back. The German is much like the Englishman in this respect. The "frau" Is the housewife, not the supreme dictator of the family, as Is most usually the case In this part of the globe. The Frenchman has more gallantry than faithfulness, of which fact the French woman is fully aware. Besides, the French woman doesn't want to boss; she'd rather indulge In coquetry on which she thrives and stays young and beautiful. 0 A really poor figure can be made graceful; the secret is in a splendid soldierly carriage. Large hips are not desirable. If you will learn to hold the head erect, in a straight line with the spine, if you will keep the chest uplifted, the hips back, abdomen held in in fact, if you will adapt yourself to a modified "kangaroo walk," you will be surprised to And how very much your figure will change for the better. A good corset, made especially to fit you, will be a tremendous aid. A corset should fit snugly about the hips, with such lines that hold the abdomen in place and send the hips back. The waist must be large and the corset must fit tight- only about the hips. The well- fitting corset Is the cause of most good figures. Walking will enlarge th hips. 0 EMPANNELLING JURY. Examination of San Francisco Grand Jury in Progress. SAN FRANCISCO, . Nov. 1. The only incident out of the ordinary in the examination of the grand Jurors today was the challenging of James E. Brltt, father of Jimmy Brltt, the pugilist, by Heney, because Brltt's name was not on the last year's as name was not on the assessment roll. A. Shortfldge contended that as Brltt's name was on last year's roll he would be, competent to serve. The argu ment on this point consumed most of the afternoon's session. ion as to compel him to seek the aid of the authorities. He was without funds to support himself In his ex tremity and at once became a county charge and was sent to St. Mary's hospital for treatment. He died on Wednesday morning Inst at t o'clock and 1ils remains were turned over to Coroner W, C, Pohl for burial at the public expense. Just at this point the rest of the Hindoos step in with a request that th body of their dead comrade shall be turned over to them for burial In accordance with the customs and the religion of their country, which In volves the burning of the remains upon a pyre and the scattering of his ashes to the wide winds of Heaven. They preferred their request and Cor oner Pohl, however willing he might have been to accord them the favor, was without the authority of law In the premises and was compelled to deny them. At this point they realized that they were subjects of the British crown and Immediately Invoked the assist ance of British Vice Consul P. L. Cherry, who, being Intimately ac quainted with the Hindoo faith and Its practices and knowing how dear it Is to the nature of the faithful, at once gave his- aid in securing the release of the body for the purposes of bur ial and upon this adequate endorse ment. the three were successful, as the following letters will Indicate, The funeral will be held some time today, and the body of Rauma Singh will be burned to atoms, but Just where no one has been able to find out, except that It will occur beyond the limits of the city A report was current late last night, that the Hume mill people had granted them per mission to use the huge slab furnace at the mills for ' the ceremony, and that Its use was sought because it would spare the three friends the pub Hetty that might attend an open bur Ial In the country. At all events, they will dispatch the remains by fire today and with all the unction and ceremony of which they have com mand. i Following Is the correspondence leading up to the release of the body for this sacred purpose: From the three Hindoos to Coro ner Pohl: "Astoria, Ore., Nov. 1, 1906. "To Wm. C. ,A. Pohl: "We, the undersigned, hereby ask you to surrender to us the remains of Rauma Singh, who died at As toria, Oregon, on the 31st day of Oc tober, 1906, for the purpose of dis posing of the same with the customs of his country and his religion. "We are and he also was a native of British India and the customs re ferred to are that he be burned on a pyre and his remains converted Into ashes, under the rituals of his religion "We would prefer to do this even to having him cremated In a crema tory and we have not the means to take him to a crematory. We are friends of the deceased, he having no known relatives In this, country. "g. l. saigel, "d. nana singh, "g. angaram; "I, P. L.

"AH of them, a well as the deceased, claim, or are claimed, to be natives of British India. The disposal of the remains consists of, I am told, burn Ing the same on a pyre until they are converted Into ashes. They pre fer and ask that this be done under their auspices In Clatsop county. "They further allege that they have not the means to take them to the crematorium In Portland and do not want to do that, anyway. 'I do not see my way cl"ar to grant their demand as this manner of dls posing of the dead Is contrary to the customs of this country, and In my opinion against public policy.
