Your combat must be with the bast Itse'f. with the demon of gambling, of which the nlck'-l-ln-the-Blot machine I one of the strongest and mot active ten tacles. This is one of the evils that has been, and I tonight carried on In de fiance of law, and upon which our citv council propose to set Its stamp of ap proval by trying to legalize it with a license. "It ha been shted that the minis ters would be satisfied If the council would pas a license. I r--ant to say that the minister never authorized any one to make such a statement. We do no: believe In evil either licensed or unlicensed. We have said that If this city can and will make It legal for thce dealers to carry on their busi ness we snail have nothing to say against the dealers for there is noth ing of a personal character about this agiutlon but that I not saying we would be satisfied with the law that legalise the business. In fact we said In connection with that statement that we would ?ertalnly have something to say against such a law. We do not fa vor the license whatever may be our opinion as to the relative merit of a high license, or a low Hcer.se or the present policy. But we do not think this city can afford to license crtr.e. even to .-replenish an empty treasury. Heslds we are not satisfied that this city has the legal right to do It. I know that some of our leading attorneys say It has. But you will pardon me for refusing to take them seriously. "I have read of an individual, the leader of a -vllglTis movement. The church that he organized was founded on a supposed revelation received by hirn.-ielf. Among other laws of this church that were made bv thi prophet, was one which made it Illegal for a man to take in?o himself more than one wife. No v it happened on day that the eve of the pr.iphet lighted on a beauti ful woman Jnd he very much desired. In fact, determined to take her to wife. But then he already had a wife and there waa the law that he himself had given forbidding plural maMage. The church would never consent for him to violate that law. He was troubled un til a hippy thought came to him and this la what he did. He retired to his nrivnte chamber. The next day It was publicly announced that the prophet had a new revelation. And thl wa the substance of the revelation: Every member of the church shall have one wife Bjv the prophet, who shall have two. Now when I see leading attorney in the senate supporting a law In the Interests of the growth of the state and a few weeks later In the lower court working for anil Jefeatlng the operation of the sam? law: and when I am told It was i popular thing in the senate to nass the law but nn unpopular thing In the lower courts to en'orce that law. and. knowing as I do and as you know, too, that with the average aspiring pol itician there is nothing that will cause him 'o have a new revel ulon so ouick Iv as a few hundred dollars, or a tbrentened los of prestige at the polls, you will pardon me for hesitating to take these gentlemen seriously and for being Inclined to think that they mav have reciv-d a new revelation. But I am :iot .ilone In this belief. "The lending pipers of our state and surrounding states have been liberal in their comments and unsparing in their d "nnm-'ntion of the farce against Jus tice an I law that was recently enact ed in this cltv.

"But believing thit all attorney in Oregon had not received a new revela tion we wrote and went the following letter: "Atorla. Ore., May . 1901. Hlla B frntth. Sklpanon. Ore.

SMITH. "Mr. Smith I a retired attorney of ability, a former tudnt of Senator H'alr nf Vrmon:. With these facts before us It Is the manifest duty of thi city to use every mean In It pow. er tt protect Itself from thl v'ce. We have In thl -state a law agilns thi machine and It ought to be enforced. The question I altogether too Import ant to be Ignored or passed ever with out any seriou attempt to enforce the law. Aside from the law-defying spir it It has excited, aside from all moral and rellg'-ius aoe"'. tt effect upon th future prosperity of this city I one of the mot Imnomnt that can b- named. The avarice that buys up vir tue for gold and nakes merchandise of vice must be foiled: the custom that nut th silken jloir upon the Iron hand of human greed abolished, and the hand that shackle oula before ther the light cut off. The whole force of Christian thought and action shontd be brought ro ear upon this evil. The church ought to accept the challenge thrown down to it and become the ac tive antagonist of all evil and the nro tectlon of all the unfortunate. If it cannot save the older transgressor who I confirmed In his evil ways, let It rescue the youth, the boy and the girl, by closing up the den of lnloulty that make vice and crime go eay to learn. "How few th"re re who appreciate or valu the work of saving the young. Thl generation is tramping on to the grave we will soon all be gone. But what of the next? An engineer on a locomotive crossing the prairies day af ter day saw a Mule, girl come out of a cabin door and wave to him. So he got in the habit of waving back and I: became the Joy of the day to see the littl one wave while he answered back. One day the train was belated and It came on to the dusk of the evening. A the engineer stool at hi post he saw by the headlight the little girl on the track looking for the train, wondering why the train did not come and all unconscious of her danger. A great hormr seized upon the engineer: he reversed the engine, give It In charge of the fireman, and then climbed over the engine and came down upon the pilot. He said although he had re versed the engine It seemed to be moy. Ing at lightning speed, faster and fas ter, tnough It was In reality slowing uo. With almost supernatural clutch h caught the child by the hair nd lifted It ur and when th train stonned and th passenger gathered around to see what had happened, they saw the old engineer had fainted dead away, but the child w laughing and unharmed In his swarthy arms. "Oh. you say tht was weil done; well, it Is something like that, that lh Oodly men and women of this city are trving to accomplish in their effort to put down evil. They are trying to narh the voung from under the whee's o' temp tatlon and sin. trying to sna'rh them from under thundering railroad train of eternil di--ater and to bring hem Into rosiWtabllity in this life and glory In the life to come.

The demand of the machinists for a new working scile to b effective Mar 20th has been made on the Astoria Iron Works.
