The following la a p-sume. of tlw ser ni.iti delivered at the Methodist church Sunday nigit by Itev. H. V. )t"w-and. The subject was ' An Ordinance LU-t-n lug Hint MU'hlnif," In the cre of sermons on "'rty Problems." HI re mark in the text, "Who la sufficient for these things," led up to hi add rem on lH-nl condltlona concerning which ut1 sail In part: The evil of wh'ch we siK-uk -in onlv bit successfully delt with at the com mencement. Of all evil passions garnb ling la the most aubtle. The. Iwy mnv be saved from cultivating the pnwlon but can scarcely be reformed after the habit I once fixed. The victim A n most any other vice may wory of It with advancing years, but not so with the gambb-rs. Tbe passion grow with every Indulgence and refuwn ti t- b-ld In check by even loss of bodily vigor. Starting at first with small etuke and played for amusement the passion grow until the dem.m encircle him In It deadly coll, fir which neither friends, nor years, nor experience if loss, nor struggle for manho'id can re Icftif him an I at last he go- down In to the grave Into which often fortune. frlerwlw and character have gone before him. ft Is the fruitful "urc of other crime an1 It whole track 1 covered with rula and shame. No reso'-'-table gentleman, in say nothing of a Chrl tlan, will publicly defend It. It x latent' In any city or town Is a scan dal. This Is one of th evil that Is deeply rootwd in our city. Morality, loyalty to the btit Intenst of our city's t.risnerliy and religion alike demand that a '-heck be put upon it. Thl I the pr.ibl.-m that Is Iv-fore our cltv council ton ght. Th.-v may de reive themselves by thinking It Is al right to I-! th rure curs on. Lai-k-Inrf the monl courage to forbid the evil they may trv to hld b-hlnd a technl cat (ioln; of law. Th'-v pas the ordl- n inn anl n declare the machines In no.-.-nt, harmless things; but. howv-r ne-!v the skin 'if the sheen sM.s on the back of th wolf, he still r-maln a wolf. IT the '(Mimfin coun-H ra the orlln.inc Hnd they put a blot up on this cliv's record that It will tak vnrs to -ff:ice besul" making for th"meves a tr rd. thev w-il! go rmn In history as th council that licensed Inloulty and their children's children will rend th:it record and blush with shame to think that their perhaps oth erwls nob! sir- dared Insult the de cency of this cltv and 'he state of Ore g.n by licensing evil. There In a state law that savs these machines shall not be used. That law was passed for th protection ot the youth an I no ex.-cp'lon waa made of th youth of Astoria. But notwithstanding the state l.w the council propose to llc-ns... Rv what nuthorltr? By au thor! v given ro th cltv of Astoria In h.r charter. Now the cltv chirter. ac tion article fi. urnin which they hue their claim, reads aw fiillows: "Th council has power "nd awhorltv w'tb In the city of Astoria to !le'ngo, tax. rgulate and rtrwn birrooms and drinking sh'ie. gaining and gainhilng houses, and pla-e wh 're llo,uor Is sold, and to regulat nlck'M-ln-the-nlot mach'ni's." Hut this power o regu late these things mnnfloned In section e s delrate.1 -o ihls city und"r cer tain conditions anl llmltalons. Th c-indlHons are glvn In section '9 of th charter, which savs: "The pmver and uthorltv given to the council by sec tion 5S can only be exorcised or en forced by ordinance, unless otherwise provided, and a maloritv of the coun- may pas anv ordinance or make anv bvlaw n( repugnant to the laws of the I'nl-ed States ,ir if this stfcte. etc." ' Now th ca. seems nlaln: section SS of the city chart r says the ci-nincll of the city of Astoria may rgu'at nlckel-ln-the-slot machlnee; section 30 siys: ie. that Is right, but the coun c'l must do t bv an ordinance and that ordinance must be of such a na ture as not to cntllct with any law of the st.it of Oregin. Now the state Ipw says th nick d-ln-the-slif machln hill not run. The cly charter says If von license the slot machine your ordln.inc doing so mils' not conflict with a sta'e law. Now I vntur th nssertlon. here is a little task that win tux the nowers of our councllmen end ol'v attorneys to frame and word that rdinnnce so that It will not conflict with the ProchBtei! law. I hope, when ifjEATSPEGIflliSRliE C'hinaware, Crockery, (Jlassware, Lamps, Jartl meres and Jugs, Novelties, ttisque Ware, Agateware, Silverware and Cutlery, Fish Sets, Game Sets, Dinner Sets, PRICES CIT 20 to 33 per cent Come Just to See OUH IfflJIEflSE STOCK OUR LOW PRICES WILL SURPRISE YOU Great American ImBortiaa Tea Ca (71 Coamarolal stmt, Astoria, the council pie that ordinance (If It dot not conflict with the tate law) that they will publish the text In full. I am sure It will be Interesting reading. It ought to be preserved In the ar chive of the city fir future referent. But our attorneys tell ua the charter la a special law, the mate law la a general hiw. A general law cnn t aalde a special law unlet the Pc lal law speHfleally mentioned in th general law. Now If ctlon 39 did nt exist In our charter I could see tbe force of that statement In thlg case. But not btlng a lawyer I fall to se where the charter Itself mv no ordl nanc touching the nlckeMn-the-srlot machine shall be pass'v that is con trary to any stat law Jus: what dif ference It make which I the reclaJ or which I the general or which was passed first. You say that I not law. Well ,1 appeal to you If It doe not at least hav the appearance of common seme, I know thit we preacher are sometime accused, perhaps not always unjustly, of getting ao much theology Into our head that w be our abil ity to b proctl'-al. But I am per suaded that the preacher are not the only sinners along this line. If a I on the body, the whole body I dis eased and suffer threfrom. It I there same with a olty. Fmll!arlty with lawlessness an I Immorality blunt the moral nn. Like an Infectious dl eone It reiche out until the whole moral life of the city I affected. But the dealer must have the money that flow Into hi till through the machine and the city must hav th revenue. No "egard I to b paid to the mor ality of the young men. Money I th evil trust. Money In Itself to no evil but the love of money for its own sake U an evil of the greatest magni tude. And Its piw?r Is felt, not only In our general government but In our municipal government today. And how much Is the city to rcelve 1n return for these machine? Well, h the pres ent ordinance can become a law this city win receive I1K00 a year. I appeal to you Is not that an Insignificant sum with which to rr-mpns this city for disgracing Itself, to say nothing about the nlr;ulty It fostT. The pastor .f this church has ben challenged to play Mr. Madison's ma chine. This Is th challenge. The Pas tor Is to drop 1000 nickels In the ma chine: If the ma hlne doe not regis ter 400 cigar Mr. Madison gives the M. K. church $.10. We have been a1vled to accept. But we decline for the fol lowing reasons: 1. The propositi n Is to gamble. W do ref gamble, hence cannot accept. z. woum not accept if we could. W are not In ;h habit of playing at another man' gam. It Is an open se cret thst the cards in the machine can be changed. Of cour. Mr. Mal'son would not do that, but thl is what puzzles us. "If we cin only gt him (the pastor) to tday the machine w will Hx him": of course that remark was not Intended for the pastor's ears bit' it reached them. 3. W have already dropped a few nickels Into Mr. Madison' machine and have witness to the fact that for thos nickel the machine did not register a single cigar and that for 100 nickels dr ipped Into his machine It oi;lv registered 13 cigars. We do not presume to say It shows what the ma chine may do Just as stray straws In dicate tbe direction of the wind. These are my reasons for declining. Are they not sumelent This I the problem that confront us today. What are ve t, do; I be lieve In the Bible. I believe In prayer meetings. But thuj far these agencies have not freed us from these things. Good, strong Intellectual men have stood In our pulpits and declared the word In power, yet this evil has gone riarht on. Their eff orts have apparent ly made no impression. They mav have picked up a fall-i man or woman here and there hut for every one ecuJ t n have gone down to ruin. This Is not merely a religious rrobb'm but a civic problem as well. The life of the com munity as well as religion demands a solution. it i. our mission to lift un tbe fallen, to re'ue all we can but when we ar at res-ue work we ought to destroy the "ource. It Is a tremen dous undertaking and means a tre mendous conflict: It calls for strong, heroic men. who cannot be bought and who owe allegiance to no one but God. It Is worthy of jur powers and will tax our manhood but It will pay. I summons you to a task. Be true to the rlghte-ius side and have a part 'n the conflict. I do not speak merely to your piety; to your religious feelings. I sneak to your conmon sense, your humanity, your patriotism. If you love your fellow men. !f vou desire the or der md stability of society and lelleve in your city, in Its future. Its mission of blessing do something to prove your faith. And the best things that you can do is to give your strength, your Influence and. If needs be. your money to save the boys and girls at whise bands the welfare of this city will be committed when you me gme. A. O. IT. W. NOTICE. The members of Seaside, No. 12. A. O. IT.

The concert given at Fisher's opera house last night for the benefit of Grace Episcopal church was a success both from an artistic and financial stand - point. The house was filled, and the splendid musical program arranged was carried through without a hitch. The surprise of the evening was fur- nished by the number which was bill- en ien aie rrftiy aino?n. nuin ioc musical comedy of "Florodora," A charming looking girl gowned in light blue, and with raven brack natr wa'K-i ed on to the stage and approached the footlights. To a certainty she was a i stranger and it was thought she waa one of the Portland artists who as sisted In the program, but the first not dispelled that Idea for it waa ap- parant that while the singer waa cao tlvatingly feminine the tones were hope lessly masculln. Finally the secret came out that It was Edwin Hobson'a debut as a female impersonator, and the applause which was given him left no doubt a to the hit he made. Thereaf ter whnver he appeared (he played eeveral acompinr.n?nts) the "girl la blue" received an ovation. From the opening; overture to the closing choru the program waa made ud of delightful numbers. Miss Mar guprite Dobson. of Portland, an accom plished vocalist, gang three numbers. and the audience demanded encores j which were graciously granted. Among those whoi appeared were Mesdames C. H.
