LONDON, Oct. 2s.-The by-election
today in the Bermondsey division of
Southwark, parliamentary borough of
London, which was characterized by the
most militant attack the suffragettes
have yentured to make in their struggle
for "votes for women" resulted in "A
sweeping victory for the unlOnists. John
humphreys, unionist, won the three-cOr-
nered fight with a plurality of 9s7, over

severe reverse to the supporters of the

afford a good test of the feeling in Lon

II is difficult to find an organic
body, OF any kind, commission, or
council as constituted today, that has

text for disrupting, disorganizing, dc
feating, and damning the majority, no
matter where that majority may lead
nor who constitutes ii is the last
privilege of the minority, in default
of any other accomplishment to keep
the discordant not sounding, to
'honk" on forever, whether there be
danger or not. Astoria has the OBJ
streperous little eabal in pretty much
all its public bodies, Except, perhaps,
in the County Court, where harmony
and unity, peculiar and almost painful,
exist and it is presumed that she Will
always have them. since no scheme cf
defense has ever been devised that
will lay them.
All men have unqualified respect for
the square, fighting minority; it S
given place Of interest and effect IN
the considerations Of the commonalty,
and not infrequently makes winning
of worth and genuiness, not always
attained by the majority. Under such
circumstances, the cabai becomes an
asset to the people and a reliance.
But, in the main, these pony-factions
are obsessed with the notion that they,
the inconsiderable and unconsidered
ones, hold the cream and crux of the
wisdom necessary to propel and guide
the destinies Of the people. and will
have it that way, no matter what
trouble and confusion, and even loss,
ensues.
The pettifogging cabal is a nuisance

never popular. The men who pick

THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL


Time, and the mutations of a shift
ing soil, have made il necessary for
Astoria to build herself new high
school building. The matter is i'm.
perative and no man nor woman will
gainssy the proposition nor do aught
to bar it. That goes without saying;
but we find pleasure in writing it, be-
cause it reflects the proper credit on
this community, and reads right, gem
orally
1t is hoped, however, that the com
missioners in charge of the task will
take broad counsel in determining the
site OF the new building and see 70
it. as far as human inquiry can probe
such questions, that the formation s
all it should be as to stability. This
is the real isseu confronting us; the
people will gladly concede the work,
and pay the bills, but they have the
right to insist that nothing shall be
left undone to determine, practically
and soundly, the character Of the
land, upon which it is to be reared.
The more money needed for an i'm
pregnable site will be promptly forth
coming, if only the assurance may be
had that the building is not to be en-
dangered, or abandoned, in the future.
There are plenty OF such holdings and
one must be chosen, no matter what
lengths are gone to ascertain its
soundness.
No economy will ever compensate
for the second case Of sliding earth
such as has made this departure es-
sential, and the people are looking to
the Board for such action as shall en-.
sure, to the utmost of their endeavor,
a site that will stay where it belongs.
And no one doubts the subject will
receive the largest treatment at the
hands OF he gentlemen responsible for
the outcome.
