It is a demonstrable fact that 10 per cent, and over, of the school chil dren of Astoria are truants in that acceptation of the term which implies that that number of children of scholastic age never enter the doors of .her. public schools. Over 300 youngsters, in the main, are allowed to run wild on the streets, picking up a vast lot of vicious knowledge that will damn the most of them to ca reers of idleness and vice, if not to greater extremities and penal levels. The fact remains that truancy is a civic curse. It denies the State the use and service of a great horde of people who might be of value in every line of citizenship if it were made the most of in its inception, and gives it instead, a burden of incompetence and inutility to bear, far ' exceeding . the ratios of gratitude and "good sense; it brings the child through courses of sin and ignorance to that majority which is supposed to be charged with v responsibilities'' and crerogative's of the citizen, utterly unable to appreciate or apply them, and nullifies the best principles of constitutional liberty at all points, since a vicious, ignorant, unuseable citizen is a menace at all times. ' It is to be hoped the pqlice of As toria will take large interest in the authority given them in this behalf, by the new truancy statutes of the State, and do all they may to redeem a very ugly situation; they will be doing a greater service than perhaps they realize, and society and the peo ple generally will appreciate -their ;work; nor does the tffcst lie with the . Astoria police force altogether; every agency of authority in the realm should be invoked to the minimizing of this deplorable condition. But we can do our share, and will! THE TOWN MEETING. In the course of conversation with a good citizen, lately, upon the diffi , culties of attempting to amalgamate the people of a community upon some basis of public action, and especially of the interference of the political element in matters that are purely economic, he adverted to the famous old "iown- meeting" ' of our fore fathers and declared.it might yet be used with significant success in cities of this size. This man is a devoted Socialist and has the interest of . As toria deeply at heart, no man more so, and his suggestion gave the writ er a cue as to the expediency of the simple, honest and old-fashioned me dium of expression and interchange of interests that are not nearly so widely divided as some suppose. At all events, the " idea is worth putting .forward, whether it shall be acted on or not. . . a The essence of the town meeting is its faculty for bringing men together who rarely meet and who never real ize the varying claims' and interests ' that exist, aside' from 'their own in- dividual views and concerns with re gard to public matters. It is pro ductive of the neighborly sentiment, and makes for mutual understanding; it is an ooen torum ana gives tne tinmhlest citizen a chance to be : r.p,u - first hand the real ideas that prevail and are lost in the turmoil and shuffle of politics, and COFFEE ; Why doesn't your gro cer moneyback every thing:? . : J f,: : Can't get the goods or 'the money. tout ttoctt rettimi joor money If rot teal Efe Schilling' Bert: PM hl Subscribe to the Morning Astorian. .$7.00 .60 simplifies the work of ascertaining genuine public sentiment. It is not a bad thing to indulge once in a while, when a community has 'suffered for want of a general understanding of its own wants and shortcomings. We would be glad to see something attempted along this line and believe that. Astoria would waken sharply to completer sense of her needs .and her people would become acquainted with that fact that "there are others." NOT ALL FAIR SAILING. America's beautiful, fleet of battle ships and stalwart sailors are not having an unbroken course of peace and pleasure; there are other things to face in the superb itinerary they are following; storms and gales and bitter stresses of weather, loss of life and limb, and the fear always of los ing one or more of the splendid ves sels they are serving. For the sea is not respecter of flags nor shops nor men, and at its worst demands the sacrifice of the best and ablest and stoutest. They are just emerging from a ty phonic gale to enter the' welcoming gates of the Japanese- empire,: and they will drop their anchors in peace ful and friendly waters, with all signs of disaster and loss removed; they will be spick and span and glor ious as ever, despite the tough hand ling of old Neptune. ' But these ma riners never for an instant forget the challenge and perils of the deep; nor do we of the sea-faring cities of the land they sailed from; our pride is blended deeply with anxiety, for ship-wreck and sea dangers are old, old stories with us, and ever present.
