Is there any reason why patriotism,
business methods and common sense
should not govern voters in their choice
OF candidates at the coming election?
Why should honest men, men successful
in business. shrewd merchants, dream of
placing civic power in the hands Of poll
ticlans who use 1t to destroy the munich
pal credit and whose sole regard is for
the emoluments Of the office they are
after? What that system comes to,
logically and inevitably In our city gov
ernment, we all know well. 1t is the
source of the most foul corruption. Black
mail is rooted in It, 1t is a system of
organized piracy. There are men rum
ming for office in this campaign, many on
the so-called Citizens" ticket, one on
the Republican ticket, who are the per-
sonfication of the principle OF political
corruption out Of which has sprung all
the waste and pronigacy of Astoria's
past history. The time should have long
gone by when men of this stripe can COM
mand following Of any kind. let alone
a respectable one.
1t is to the business men Of the city
that the Historian especially appeals.
Give your votes only to those candidates
whose qualifications can stand such
test as you would apply were they appr-
cants for employment from you person
sonally. If you can do that then those
qualifications must contain three ele-
ments-honesty, ability and common
sense. The men that possess those three
attributes are the men to vote for Act
accordingly.

LAW For THE SAILOR.

II Is gratifying to know that at last
some measures are In view before con-
gress for the protection of American sail
ors on board ships. While 1t is true
that the masters OF ships have trouble
sometimes In dealing with "sea lawyers"
who find their way into forecastes, 1t is
also sadly true that American masters
and mates have earned reputation for
brutality at least SO well deserved that II
is as wide as the world and sufficiently
appalling to almost frighten American
sailors from their ships altogether. As
to the shipment Of American apprentices,
that is come to an end. Almost any kind
Of career on shore Is more profitable
than sea life, under the best conditions,
as every American boy knows. The pc
culiar fascination the water has for some
lads would draw them to the ships,
nevertheless, were It not perfectly well
known that once on board they would be
at the mercy of brutes without pity and,

ican merchant marine manned by Ameri-
can sailors until this fact is perfectly
well understood by the masters Of ships,
and Il will never be so understood until
laws are made strong enough to reach to
the deck OF every ship In every port on
the globe. Surely the dangers natural to
the sea are grave enough without also
exposing sailors to the brutal senseless
fury OF masters and mates who conceive
that their authority can only be enforced
with Delaying pins. The life of a sailor is
hard enough, at the best OF times, both
at sea and on shore on the one hand he
Is at the mercy OF the elements, and on
the other the Victim Of the crimps and
crooks OF all sorts who throng the water

which will be undoubtedly remembered
will be her failure to write half dozen
consecutive lines OF common sense, let

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for

needed in the spring, when the languid

liver is torpid and sluggish and the need
Of a tonic and Alternative is felt. A

IN 4 GARDEN OLD.

In grandmother garden, years ago,
Twas the month Of June when the roses
blow
A small maid sat by a fountain side,
To watch on the water the bubbles ride,
Lazy bees droned in the blossoms gay,
Knowing right well where the money lay;
While the dear old lady herself sat nigh,
And peacefully dozed as the hours
went by
But down the sun-dial path there strolled
With stately step, ptacock bold;
he sauntered up TO the fountains brink,
Then. leaning over, began to drink
Then grandmother heard a short, quick
cry,
And. turning TO learn the reason why,
Ihere came these words in quiverinR
notes.
20 gran'ma, he's eated my bubble-bsats?
