TRUANCY: A CIVIC CURSE.
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

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.
