PORTLAND. Dec. 18. CTo fthe Editor.)
Six months ago some men. 01 mis cny
propesed to license gambling, promising
if their plan were adoptoa that Portland
would become a lively city. That they
have kept their promise. Is Increasingly
evident every day. PerJ-u.ps no city on
the Coast Is "livelier" tlay than Port
lnd. The footpad, the burglar, the kid
naper, the hoodlum and the gambler cer
tainly are doing their bejt to make things
interesting. The word has gone out far
and wide that this Is a wide-open city.
Criminals have come ..locking to us like
eagles to a carcass. Seattle has been
drling out bad characters and they are
now with tis. Yesterday, In conversa
tion ivlth a gasobler, I found that he was
from San Franilsco. This town is over
run with criminals invited here by the
policy of our city a dminlstratlon. A
friend of mine took tr.e time to examine
the workings o" three ": ure-thlng" games
which even amang gamblers are regarded
as robbery and he found that 50 men were
getting a living from, the loot. Things
are "lively" in Portland, and no mistake.
When the plan of licensing crime was
proposed two virtues were claimed for
the p'.an and sonic socd men were foolish
enough to believe tfo .promoters were sin
cere in their advocacy; Arst, we were to"d
that this plan would ret train evil, as the
little dens could be closed up and the
police could watth tht public games.
"What has been tlic rcsu'.t? Let any citi
zen walk through the down town streets
at 12 o'clock any nigh., and he will be
able Quickly to decide as to how much
restraint has been put on evil. The little
dens, instead of closing up. have become
large establishments thronged with men.
"Ncy places have been opened up. and
are doing a thriving business. "Where
there was one gambling house six months
ago there are two 3icw. Where there was
one gambler then, there are three now.
Where there was one dollar lost then
there are ten now. One of our citizens
who has lived here for 23 years, told me
last week that In all his residence here
he had never seen wich lawlessness In
Portland as at the present time.
The second virtue claimed for the new
plan was that the criminal classes who
are largely responsible for the expenses
of city adimlnstration should be compelled
to pay their proportion. It would seem
as if a blind man could see through this
policy. It Is equivalent to allowing a
rebber to loot a bank of 550,000 on condi
tion that he will pay the $1000 it will cost
to pay detectives for helping him out of
the city. Where has the money come
from that the gamblers have been paying
Into our city treasury during the past
months? I can give the name of a woman
whose $500 seal-skin cloak was pawned for
540 and the monty lost In a gambling
bouse. I can give the name of a man
who has contributed 43C00 to the gamblers
fund during the past few weeks, and Is
today a tramp. I can give the name of
a business man who lent a large sum of
money to a friend who walked straight to
a gambling house and lost it. I can
glvp the name of a man who stole $150
from his employers which "he lost in a
gambling house, and then tried to end
his life. Others, no doubt, could extend
this list indefinitely. Perhaps Burglar
Scott helped to swell the fund. No doubt
the citizens who, night after night, are
being held up are thus making their con
tributions. If the truth were known,
perhaps a portion of the $4,700 taken from
the Lumber Company was used In the
same way. A friend of mine saw a street
car conductor drop 10 nickels in a slot
machine and within 15 minutes "knock
down" three fares. After six months'
trial who doubts where the money is
coming from to pay the licenses of the
gamblers?
There Is a spirit of lawlessness abroad
In our city. We all recognize the facL
A 16-year-old boy becomes a kidnaper and
children organize to commit deeds of
violence. Shortly ago a heart-broken
mother and sister came to me In regard
to a boy In his teens who had turned
highway robber. Citizens are almost
afraid to be on the streets after dark
since reading of an honest laborer shot
down like a dog by one of a class licensed
to deprive men unlawfully of their money.
Three years ago someone suggested to an
old gambler that an attempt be made to
license gambling in Portland. The
gambler replied "It cannot be done. Port
land is too substantial a town to allow
it." The unexpected has come to pass
with a vengeance.
Who are responsible for all this? Our
Mayor. Chief of Police and-District At
torney do not hesitate to acknowledgethe
plan of licensed crime as theirs. I there
fore dP them no wrong in mentioning
their names. They could stop this law
lessness In 24 hours if they would. For
some reason which we can only surmise
they decline to act.
What are the citizens of Portland going
to do? They are saying one to another
as I hawc overheard them, '"at the next
election there will be such a landslide
as this city has never known." But
what about the year and a half interven
ing? Are we to sit like wooden men.
while homes are being ruined, wives be
ing driven out upon the street, children
deprived of the necessities of life, busi
ness methods being infected, our boys be
ing started on the road to ruin?
Three things might be done; first, a
great indignation meeting might be held
to make the authorities understand that
the substantial citizenship repudiates their
atrocious license plan: second, a law en
forcement league might be formed. Alas,
that we must come to this again. If
there is money back of them, three fear
less men can do the work. A large com
mittee would be useless.
Third One of the leading lawyers of
this city volunteered the Information a
few weeks ago that our officials could be
easily Impeached, If determined men
would take the matter up.
What more fitting time than the clos
ing hours of the Century for the people
of this Queen City of the Northwest to
rise in righteous wrath and say: "This
ghastly play must end?"

LETTER FROM DR. M'LEAW
lie Restates Ills Attitude Torrards
Evolution.
The following letter from Rev. Dr. Mc
Lean was dated December 10, but appear
to have been detained in the mall or else
mislaid in this office. -The Oregonlan re
grets the delay which, if due to over
sight in this office, was unintentional.
Dr. McLean writes:
While adhering to my resolution to en
ter Into no newspaper controversy ovev
the question of evolution, the persistence
with which paragraphers and correspond
ents make me assume a position which I
never thought of taking, makes it neces
sary to define my true attitude. I have
never yet assumed that there was no
ground for the evolution theory. This has
been read in by those who are In so much
haste to Jump Into the fray that they sel
dom read beyond the editorial headlines.
My claim Is that, while the geological
evidences of something that might be
called physical evolution are so abundant
as to make It an Interesting and profit
able subject for scientific Investigation,
yet the chain of evidence Is so broken, so
Incomplete, as to leave It at the present
time in the realm of philosophic specula
tion. The most eminent scientists are the
most conservative In making claims for
evolution as a scientific demonstration.
In fact, so insurerable appear the obsta
cles to substantiating the theory that
many dec'are it impossible that It shoul.i
ever pass beyond "a philosophic specula
tion." The president of the British As
sociation for the Advancement of Science
Is reported as having taken precisely this
ground in a recent, address at Belfast, l
have not as yet seen the address referred
to so give this on the authority of an
other. Certain it is that this is practi
cally the ncsltlon of the safest and most
eminent scientists of the age.
The Oregonlan this morning says: "The
fact of evolution Is established, and hard
ly anybody disputes It." I can do no bet.
tcr than to again quote the learned Max
Mu'ler: "If you think all this rests on
well-ascertained facts. I have nothing la
says except to express my surprise thar
some men of great learning and undoubt
ed honesty arc not so positive as to th
facts as you are."
In treating of the spiritual, the unseen,
much must be left to faith: but the the
ory of evolution belongs to the purely tnt.
terial, and we have, a riglrt, by the very
laws governing material science, to de
mand the physical proofs at each step,
before we are called upon to concede that
a thing Is demonstrated.
I believe in evolution, the evolution of
the man, not of the house In which ho
lives. I believe that man In that sense Is
still making. And this Is In perfect ac
cord with the teaching of Scripture, which
represents man as growing In Intellectual
and spiritual power until he shall be com
plete in the perfect model.
The controversy between science and
religion. If controversy there be, has been
fomented by a class of men who are
ready to grasp at anything that will
promise to overthrow the Christian faith.
True scientists suffer more at their hands
than do the theologians. These men have
not as yet bech scientifically classlfiea,
so will coin a word and denominate them
"scientillos."
My real contention Is that the attempted
union of the theory of the evolution of
man from the lower forms of animal life
with the teachings of Scripture that man
Is fallen, and that Christ came to redeem
him from the death that came as the re
sult of sin, is an impossibility. All who
attempt It will eventually surrender their
faith In the world's Redeemer. So far.
however, the overwhelming proof is that
man stands alone a special creation, a
creature with dim remembrances of a lost
dignity, a noble ruin, a son of God. ex
lied by sin from his father's house. If
to hold these views Is to be scientifically
heterodox, then I will comfort myseh
with the thought that I have with me a
goodly company of eminent scientists.
My critics have failed to distinguish be
tween my opinions and the quotations
from scientists, quotations for which 1
gave due credit.

Oregon insane asylum, shows, in addition
to the general information published in
today's Oregonlan, many facts and sta
tistics regarding the Insane wards of this
commonwealth.
Of the 679 patients admitted during the

old age, 17 to worry, 16 to religion, and
275 to unknown cautcs. Of the 33 who
were committed on account of alcoholism,
SO were discharged within a short time
after they were received.
During the term, 217 patients were dis
charged from the asylum s recovered. Of
these 69 were disch trged within three
months after commitment, 67 between
three and six months, 25 between six and
nine months, 13 between nine and twelve
months, and 43 after more than one year.

It will be observed that the heaviest
Item of expense Is for meat, which. In
cluding fish, cost the state 536,771 58. Dur
ing the last administration, when Dr. D.
A. Paine was superintendent of the asy
lum, an attempt was made to cut down
the expense for meat by purchasing the
stock on foot and employing a butcher to
do the slaughtering. What the results
of this experiment were is shown by an
entry in the records of a meeting of the
asylum board in Januarj't 1S99, the last
meeting of the old board. The entry is
as follows:
"The board having received from the
asylum superintendent a tabular state
ment showing the costs of meat for 1SS7,
under contract, to have been $12,196 23, and
for 1S3S, under purchase by the superin
tendent, to have been $.1,405 27, the clerk
was directed to write him the following
letter:
" The Executive Ofilce is In receipt of
your comparative statement of cost of
meat to the state consumed at the asylum
In 1S97 and 1S9S. As a deduction you re
port that the state saved In 183S, as com
pared with 1S97, $1 01 per patlcnL Ap
parently this Is gratifying, but Governor
Lord directs me to say that the vouchers
passed through this ofilce show an expen- I
diture for 1S9S (up to Decemoer i), or.
$1,455 1" in excess of the sum you report
for the entire year, and much In excess
of the 'meat purchases of 1S9S. You also
deduct $1500 for hides sold, which, pre
sumably, has been an offset in favor of
the state, but you do not charge the
monthly expenses, pay and board of
butcher, nor the added cost of feed for
cattle, etc The chairman says your
statement is, therefore, erroneous, as
compared with the voucners presented by
you. and allowed by the board; also that
the balance seems plainly In favor of con-
trading for dressed mcaL "
The present board has followed the old
custom of purchasing meat by contract,
tho contract being let to the lowest re
sponsible bidder.
The next highest item of expense is
fuel, which, owing to the gradual increase
in the distance between the city rnd the
timber supply. Is steadily advancing In
price. Wood is also purchased by con
tracts let in pursuance of sealed bids, as
arc most of the articles consumed at the
asylum.
Little Bonanza of n Mine
J. R. Wells, a mining man of Emmett,
Idaho, who was in Portland yesterday,
considers that he has a quartz mine that
has been put on a paying basis without
the expenditure of much capital, and ho
calls it a little bonanza. He has a five
stamp mill working on the property, ana
this is capable of treating 12 tons of roch.
every 24 hours. The ore, he says, aver
ages $55 per ton In free gold, and no con
centrates have to be shipped. The ledge
is five feet in thickness and of uniform
value As the expenses of running mlnu
and mill are not over $20 a day. Its own
ers, of which there are three, net $760 per
day. An arrastra had been used on tht.
property for some time, and this, run by
water power, crushed one ton of ore per
day. Even this Mr. Wells thought a
pretty good Income-producer, bat his two
sons, who are partners in the property,
insisted in putting In a stamp mill ana
thus Increasing the output of the mine
many fold.
The little mine, he said, was not for
rale, and would not be put on the market
for the purpose of hvreaslng Its capital
stock, as the owners know when they
have a good thing and will stick to it.
It was bonded a few months ago to cer
tain parties for $5000. but these people did
no work on it. and when the bond ex
pired the original owners sunk a shaft-
upon the ledge, stril-inj the present vein
within 12 feet. They are now very glaa
the man with the option could not dis
pose of it. The stamp mill runs day and
night, by water power, except during tho
few weeks of a freeze-up in the Payette
Valley.
THEIR NEW POSTMASTER.
J. M-. Pntterson. of The Dalles, Ap
pointedMoody Recommended.
Jerry M. Patterson! whose appointment i
as Postmaster at The Dalles was an
nounced in The Oregonlan yesterday. Is
a well-known citizen of that place, and
his appointment will, doubtless, prove sat
isfactory. Ke was recommended by Con
gressman Malcolm A. Moody, the rule be
ing that a Congressman shall have the
appointment of all Postmasters In his dis
trict. Mr. Patterson was chairman of the He
publican County Cisntral Committee sev
eral times, and has always taken an act
ive part in Republican politics. He came
to The D-iIles from Salem 15 years ago.
and entered the scrv'o- of At M. Williams
& Co. as bookkeeper, and from there en
tered the First Natlmal, at The Dalles,
remaining In that plac for a long time.
About four years ago Mr. Patterson went
to Wasco. Sherman County, and. wltn
several others, started tho Bank of Was
co. This proved to be an unsuccessful
turn In nls career, as the bank failed.
Mr. Patterson succeeds H. H. 'Rlddeli.

failing to deliver certain letters which rt-

together and have been a popular move,
but nopti'ar things do not always rule In

man. nd his friends say he will conduct

Snl-l-u View of Salem Census.
Capital Journal.
The ceitsui Is taken by politicians to
begin with . and at Salem one fiction saw
to it that the most competent men to
do the work were turned down, and It is
stated on gcod authority that Congress
man Tongue and Senator McBride named
their followers to be rae enumerators.
Be this true oi" not. the city officials and
Chrmbcr of Co Timercc should have taken
more Interest in the matter; in fact,
should have seen to it that census was
taken that would .have done justice to the
interests of this ciTmmunity. The Repub
lican party nor Vie Government Is to
blame for the preicnt botch. The sys
tem is one of pollticiVl rewards. The most
competent men In ttie Republican party
locally were turned down. The matter
