At all events, it is worth try ing out. if only for the sake of temp prizing with a nation that is waking rapidly to the tout injustices of the federal tariff and getting into the ex act and baneful humor to resent and resist it. 1 THE PUBLIC PLAY-GROUND. There are appreciable signs every where that the officers of the law :n this city and county are getting busy wiih the first and most essential of their duties, the enforcement of the ! Mayor Smith's proposals for the laws, municipal and statutory; and the establishment of public play-ground people are taking sharp notice of it. for the children of Astoria is a step They do not fail to regard these the direction of safety, economy things nor to rate tnem at their 'and moral sal vation, that should meet proper valuation, and always to the J with spontaneous and generous aid credit of the officer and the depart- j and sanction in the Council and out ment he represents; they are always 'of it. It is one of the saving elements glad to know that the delegated j of municipal life, these open-air valves authority they have passed to the of- j for the ebullient youngster, that con ficer is understood and made full use j tribute immensely to the reduction of of; they do not discriminate among criminal costs later on in the lives of men. as to wno snouia ana snuuiu , wiu. TERRIBLE STORY TOLD BY WEST INDIAN FRUIT PACKET CREW NEW YORK. May 18.-A story of dfath and hardship due to mosquitoes was told by Captain Frederick Weeks navigator "of the Vcreston, a small British steamship now in port from Kingston. The vessel was brotiRnt to New York by a crew of negroes htr.-in.te nearly all o( the regular crew are dead or recuperating from malaria fever due to the insect bites, tne Vereston had gone up the Maderia River, a branch of the Amazon 1700 miles from Fara, with railway sup plies. There was a stop at Porto Velpo for 21-days and although the men were screened m at night, they were bitten in the daytime by huge mosquitoes. Of the 23 members of the crew 18 contracted the fever. Two firemen were so emaciated when thev cot to Kingston that their Tthe homeward trip started March 25 as the Vereston went down the river The day before Kingston was reached another man died and -the next nigh: a fireman died just as the ship was making port. PERSONAL MENTION not be dealt with; the individual cots no ice with the public, as it some times does with the officer; they want an honest play of the law with all whom the law touches, for the law never touches any man save him who offends it; the people never fail to reward the man who does his duty, no matter what the duty is; it is the best recommendation an officer can hav in the popular estimate, and is the invariable reason why the reliable and straight-forward officer nearly always succeeds himself in place. It is simple matter for the officer to establish; once he is known as a man who cannot be tampered with nor deflected from the rigid course prescribed by the laws and ordinances that record clings to him like a gar ment and does him credit every time it is quoted; while, on the other hand every time he serves a private in terest in derogation of the mandate he should enforce, he weakens his standing with the people and cuts the ground from beneath his own feet It does not matter that he is, tenta tively, under the momentary sway of the man "higher up" that never yet dtood for an instant, with the people; the man above is the man the people are after and the officer who has th courage to kick down the pedestral on which a "boss" stands, does a favor almost, incalculable for his constitu ency and deserves, and gets, the grateful recognition he has won. We, with all men, here, hope ih: good work will go on, until this city is brought to a pass, where no man will have a solitary civic advantage over his neighbor in the eye of the law, and that the officers who bring this about shall fore-gather all the merit and credit coming to them by reason of their good faith to the peo ple whose votes and money maintain them. ' And it is not alone in this direction that the grounds given over to the children effect decisive advantages; the moral and physical health are safeguarded in the freedom of the spot devoted to them, in the games, the clean exercises and engagements that keep them from the grosser al lurements about them, and make for finer and more dependable results and people, when the inevitable burdens and privileges of real citizenship over take them. It were well to take large interen in this scheme and do all within ou: power to foster and perfect it, and re can begin none too soon upon the wise and wholesome program. No. 410. Endlaat Chain.

May.. 17.-Siiknes among postoftice clerks in the Chi cago Federal Building it laid to have been more prevalent in ttie last two or three months than at any time since 'its erection and the rcspoual bility is charged by (he Chicago Post oftice Clerk Association to poor ven tilation, roor effects of $KK,0iK) ven tilating system, it was said, had cam- eded its disuse with result that there were no ventilation at all. Frenident F. McCnrmick of the association lint been instructed to appoint a commit tee to confer with Postmaster Camn. bell to obtain relief. No. 412,-How Many Children 1 The census taker askoJ Deacon Brown how many children he had. "Welt, there John and Ms sister Mary; they're twin," began the deacon. "You ncodu't name them," Interrupted tht census taker. "Just give the number." "Sir," replied the deacon with great dlgult.v. ' I bave elx boy, and each boy baa a sister," "Before this week ends, the dead lock on the senatorship will be broken," says one of Illinois' solons. But there is no indication that Hop kins is taking any interest in the proceedings. Burglars have forced an entrance into the Alton Pesthouse and carried away the infested bedclothing. That the old spirit of heroism still survives in Alton has had many high proofs. but none higher than this. The rise of temperance sentiment in this country can be best estimated from the fact that it was a Kentucky colonel who brought over the Jordan River water which has just been emp tied into the New York sewer3. In blocking the wheels of govern ment the popular branch of the Porto Rican Legislature is not profiting by its American coaching. American cit izenship and territorial government are not to be won in that direction. THE INCOME TAX. For the sake of the poor man of this country we agree heartily to the income tax, graduated to meet the ratios of income as a direct ta should, and we believe the ordinary run of poor men will consent to it freely and gladly if it may be used to spare them the harder and harsher indirect tax upon their substance, wrought by an inspired tariff. We would like to see at least one half the cost of Uncle Sam's main tenance provided for from this source, and taken from the hampering bur-' dens now thrust upon all men by the trade combinations of the country. The people are becoming restive; they know 'hey are being robbed any way, and have a rational preference for the realization as to just how nmch and whence the theft is and hails from; knowing the source and amount, they might be more tractable and yield their share less grudgingly; but the knowledge that they are vic tims, and the ignorance of the loss and the real thief, makes them dis trustful and cantankerous and likely to do some extraordinary voting in the near years to come. A small, well-adjusted millage upon every income in the land over $1,009 per annum, should raise the millions essential to the Government's obliga tions and general dignity, and we fail to see why it is not used; it would be immensely fairer than the system now in vogue, and would fall with Experience is a dear school, but all fools will not learn even in that one. In, spite of many warnings, another American heiress has married another European title, and it remains to be seen whether her experience will make her wise or not. Five hundred pianos were found in the sultan's palace when the army of the Young Turks invaded it. Music had not the charm to soothe a savage breast or the revolution might never have revolved. It may have been a good thing for the fame of Poder cwski that he had cancelled all his American dates before this happened. The downward turn in wheat prices registers the favorable weather which is reported from the great producing states. It also gives objective exprej sion to the fact that the spring wheat acreage promises to be much larger than that of 1908 or any preceding year. The latter fact will hit th gamblers on the Chicago Board oi Trade harder than any cur6 which could be adopted by the lawmaking bodies at Washington or Springfield.

Bad Attack of Dysentery Cured, "An honored citizen of this town was suffering from a severe attack of dysentery. He told a friend if he could obtain a bottle of Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, he felt confident of being cured, he having used this remedy in the West He was told that I kept it in stock and lost no time in obtain ing it, and was promptly cured," says M.
