THE NEW POLICE CHIEF.
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. .

seemed to only aggravate my case.
