Feb 13. 1900.-lElitor As toriun.) In the Astorlan of the 13th inst. waa an editorial regarding the Young Men's Christian Association at MarbhriViJ. It would te hard. to giv an adequate naon why then; Is noi a lining Men's christian Association In this city. There may be many excuse? given but few reasons why there should not be an organization here that wcfuld give- to the young nnn of the city rallying place where they could enjoy the society of each other under the care of the religious Influences which the churctvs could give to It. I waa a little disappointed to And that the Christian ministers of the city did not respond with a word or en eouragvment to the subject you hav touched upon! Perhaps it lacked sensa lion; iierhaps If you suggested that cer tain Individuals arm themselves with tomn hawks or hatchets and annlhllnt the places that are made attractive to young men, methlnks the hardware stores would have such a cull for certain handy articles of destruction, as to b unable to supply the demand. The one reason why we have not Y. M. C. A. here and Marsh field has got ahead of us is that wv lacked the steo which the Astorlan haa taken th Initiative. The people have not been educated up to this. What would the business men say If we were to close the various fraternal lodges In the city? Are these not powerful Influences. In the makeup of a city? When the people of Astoria come to know what the Y. M. C. A. can do, . when they slop to think that the boy, the young mnn. the hope of our city, should" have some place where he can have the com pamonahip of his kind, the first step and a large on, too, will have been taken In our direction. A modern Young Men's Christian As soclatlon would do much for Astoria with Its gymnasium, reading and gune rooms, the evening classes that help young men In their trades and profes slons; its lectures and clean entertain ments, and all these permeated by a spirit of Christianity, Does not the city need something like this? There may be many saloons here, places that are fitted up to attract young men, hut these are simply excuses why there is not a Y. M. C. A. here. But while they are thus, they are In reality the very reason why there should be a Y. M. C. A here.

The view waa expressed that fa as It w is tKisaible white lab ir al me should be employed In bull ling th road.
