ANONYMOUS ADvICES.

To some person, unknown, is due the
Astorian's gratitude for telephone
message received yesterday, which indi.
Gated that Astoria merchants conten
plated removing their advertisements
from the paper in way of manifesting
their disapproyal of the Astorian's policy
on the Astor street brothel question. 1t
would seem that it was this persons hope
to frighten the Astorian into submission
He has not succeeded, nor has he con-
WINGED the Astorian that any such con.
certed effort, as he was wont to picture.
is on foot among the merchants of the
city.
The person, who ever he may be, and
it is within reason to assume that he
is of the Astor street element. is one
of those poor, pity deserving outcasts,
who have neither the courage, nor the
strength of conviction to support their
information by purveying it in person,
but in a way characteristic of them
selves, resort to the telephone, hoping
the adyices they divulge may be suffi.
ciently startling to discomft the recip.
lent and that they may attain their
diabolical end without being forced to
disclose their identity. Those who have
followed the Astorian since the incep.
tion of the crusade against the Astor
street dives, appreciate that the policy
of the paper is well defined. The Astor.
ian is satisfied that it enjoys, not only
the moral, but the monetary support of
every man and woman who has the in
terests of the city at heart. The As
torian has entered this fight, not with |.
the intention of aruosing little senti- |
ment of an ephemerial nature, but de-
termined to arouse substantial inter.
terest in this controversy among the self
respecting residents of the city and to
drive out these novels which promulgate
none, but retrogading influences. The
Astorian does not pose as an oracle
like its contemporaries, it is placed in
a position which a transcription of
Lincoln's immortal utterance fittingly
describes: .....-
"You can please some Of the people
all of the time; You can please all of
the people some of the time, but you
can not please all the people, all the
time" In the instance of common de.
cency vs.. moral depravity," the Astorian
in advocating the former, is confident
that it is pleasing "some of the people
all of the time" and as the element
to whom the policy of the paper does
not appeal is entitled to neither respect
nor consideration, the fight will cheer.

"vets at Vancouver" says an Oregon
ian head. We quite appreciate that lack
of space and of resourceful editor is
responsible for the abbreviation, but
even this is not a sufficient excuse for
such a manifestation of disrespect to
the men who fought for the preserva-
ton of the Union.

MISCONCEPTIONS

The Astorian understands through
the president of the Astoria Retail
Liquor Dealers that this body is to
boycott the press of the city for the
stand it has taken in the matter of the
dance-halls on Astor street. Such in.
telligence, is indeed of a very serious
nature and will serve to give rise to
vague apprehensions as to possible pro-
gress among Astoria newspapers.
So far as the Astorian may perceive,

Teachers should begin to make pre-.

summer. 1t will be held in juno.
Several OF the school districts are not
supplied with classification registers.
In great many schools the pupils,
and especially boys; are too careless in
their work. This is not only true Of
psnmanship and all written work, but
it extends to other work done whether
at school or home. Teachers should i'm
press on pupils the Importance OF be-
ing careful in everything they do.

The Attorney General has ruled that
Kansas history must be taught in the
eighth grade. Any course Of study that

yond the eighth grade is contrary TO law
Outbuildrngs should be separate and
in opposite corners of the school
grounds. Combining them with a coal
house built between is neither legal nor
satisfactory.
A misunderstanding still exists as TO
truancy law. Pupils between 8 and Is
are required 10 attend school during the
entire session. Teachers must report
all pupils absent more than four or five
days each month and who ON account
Of such absence are not keeping up with
the classes.
The sanitary condition Of school
buildings should be more carefully
looked after. Before the term Of school
begins each room should be thoroughly
cleaned and then should DO sprayed or
