The farther the appointment of the successor of Police Chief Gammal can be kept from politics, and the closer it can be allied to civic regula tion of the most mandatory sort, is what the people of Astoria are look ing for at the hands of the police - commission. They can get no cleaner man than Mr. Gammal; though they may find one who will be more dis tmctively chief in the best sense of that word and title, and who will com mand quick and unquestioned obed ience from his own men and the citi zens that come with the purview of his orders, in the maintenance of the law and the ordinances. I We do not know whom it will be, nor do we care, so long as it is a man that commands the full respect of the community and its confidence as well. There is no post in munici pal affairs that needs backbone and quick action as this one does. Any thing short of that mitigates against . the quality of the officer and office and leaves it "up in the air" with the very class that it is maintained to regulate and control. Regulation of the sharpest kind is all that is needed; there is no question of tolerance nor of half-way measures in the prosecu tion of police work, nor do the people want any discriminatin of the sort; all they are asking for is the appoint ment of a man who will make the law respected; this done, all is done that he may do. A CRYING DERELICTION. There is no use attempting to qualify the situation that calls for the exact and permanent establishment of the grades of Astoria. The engineer ing department of the city and the common council might as well go up against this cardinal demand and meet it squarely as to dawdle along further with the incongruities and blunders that are committed con stantly and which the future must remedy. The idea of building great The law in its wide sweep for equal justice, has so devised its mandates on suffrage, as to range the idler, the bum, the non-taxpayer, directly along side the home and business owner and the actual taxpayer, with full and ef fectual rights at the' polls and npon all elective propositions. .This may be the sum of equity, and for the mo ment we pass it by; but there is noth ing in this principle to prevent the taxpayers of Astoria meeting for once on the common ground of safety, in .open convention,' barring every man without his 1908 tax re ceipt, to confer upon, the tax-paying business men who are to be nominat ed for and elected to the municipal offices and commissions in December next; for the time has come to As toria that a clean-cut, purely business administration of her affairs is abso lutely indispensable; and this without regard to, or bearing upon, politics and politicians. She can dispense with as easily as she dispense with some others in this man's town and not know that she has lost anything The matter is under consideration witn some of the leading property owners and if it goes through there will be some charter amendments of fered by petition that will be gladly accepted by the people at large; for be it known, that the Astoria Charter Commission which has been is prac tical existance and session all this year, has not as yet dealt with a single matter of public interest and significance, save the one pet idea of the SEA-WALL. It is time some sort of broad-gauge effort was being made to conserve the larger and gen eral interests. .

Maguire, Democrat, is probably nominated for congress in the first district. The Republicans have re-nominated Congressmen Morris, Boyd and Pollard.

Julia Lewis is the widow of Ernest Lewis, who died in a bloody fight with United States Marshals Keeler and AVilliams last November. ' The romance between Dalton and Julia Lewis began twenty years ago, when the latter was the daughter of "Texas" Johnson, and lived with her parents near the Kansas line, 18 miles north of Bartletsville. She and Dal ton were about the same age and they rode races, practiced shooting with rifles and rode their ponies to dan ces within 30 miles of the Johnson house.

Railway track, along the whole front age are conspicuously low from five to eight feet, at least, to Franklin avenue, and something must be done in this behalf before we can expect anything big and tangible to be done here. It is not yet a month since a certain capitalist was in this city look ing for a site for a wholesale business house that would have involved a block, and who turned his back on Astoria because she had. not, and would not, set up her normal and rightful grades upon which he and his colleagues could do business and have cellar room for the storing of the stocks incideht thereto. And this case will answer the issue of theJ grades just as well as a hundred others; it demonstrates the fact suf ficiently to show that we are standing in our own light by refusing to grap ple with a proposition that is, at last and best, uhescapable. Private interests must not be per mitted to sway this situation aiiy longer; it is too large a question to hang upon the whim or plan or con venience of any one man or group of men. The issue is city-wide and time-wide and it is bad citizenship that urges anything short of the quick and honest fulfilment of this, the largest, and most neglected, task before the city. een of the state to Taft, and of at tending in January the inauguration of Governor Hadley.
