The Paraffinc Paint Co, O AM U LElti AXI) GAM BLI X G CHIEF' of Police Hallock resents the publication of' a' fact brought out at the meeting of the city council last ' Monday night concerning the admin istration of his important office. He says, In substance, that if the myor and city council "Instruct" him to col lect Ines from the illegitimate sources from which this city derives a large portion of its revenue, ne will carry out their Instructions, and If they tell elm to refrain from collecting such tribute from certain people in the city, even though others may be paying for police protection for the same illegal privilege, tie will abide by their wish es. We Infer from this that Chief Hallock wishes to perpetuate his name in the annals of lqcal police history as a faithful servant, ever willing to serve his master, or two masters if necessary, as in this Instance. Chief of Police Hallock. points to the high moral standard of the city as shown, by the records of his depart ment, and with an emphasis that is in tend to , banish all criticism remarks: "I did it with my little forcfe." - He even takes a keen delight X in reading accounts of the holdups that are daily occurrences fn the city of Portland and tells himself what a Foxy" Quiller-Sherlock Holmes of a po nce chief Astoria has. We are Indeed fortunate in being able to feel that we tan retire at night without our slum ber biing disturbed by some midnight marauder who has received a "hunch" that we might be able to provide him N with money, jewelry and silverware. The chief of police is indeed entitled to our thanks. It is a balm to wound ed feelings to know that not every man we meet on the streets after dusk is armed with a jimmy for our special benefit. But even In the enthusiasm of our gratitude we feel that the chief of police Is doing no more than he is paid to Jo when, he drives out of the city crooks and vagrants, and for this reason he is not entitled to the thanks af'the community in any great er measure than is the man who cleans the streets. Both are public servants, performing the duties to which they hsfte been xssigned. ' The comment of The Morning Astor ian at this time is not to reflect on the greut chiefs record as a criminal chas er. He is no worse at the game than any other -man who has been In the service as long as he. Neither do we seek to close up gambling in Astoria with one fell swoop. We appreciate the impossibility of such a move in the face of the state law which deals so leniently with gamblers and the city charter that is at once so generously disposed towards them. To close up gambling, action by the legislature will be necessary, and when Jfyat body Dlaccs it in the category of felonies then, and only then, can we expect to fight alonj the lines of eradication. ' Our efforts at this time are in the di rection of keeping out of the city "vis iting' gamblers who come here expect ing to ply their vicious traffic under the protecting wings vf the municipal officials for a- cash consideration, paid six months in advance. The law abid ing element ' of this city protests against any addition to the present army of gamblers and other forms of vice; there are altogether too many " gamblers and their like operating now " and th temptation for the working man to squander away his hard earned f money that should go to the support 'of his family, and a'so the young men of the city. Is already too greut for the average man with ir.ciin- - oi.nna in that direction to resist. The Morning Astorian seeks to prevail up on the municipal authorities to refuse any more gamblers the privilege of op v erating In Ohis city.1 A to Chief of Police Hallock, The Morning Astorian has no quarrel with him. As an appointee of the police commission it seems to us that he is responsible to that body solely, the may3r and city council to the con trary notwithstanding. We believe in . view of the fact that one class of peo I lt pay tribute for one illegal priv ilege it is only fair that every other tlass, whether they be located in the restricted district or In the back rooms of uptown saloons should pay f r similar police protection, and we , do not tnink It Is necessary for the Sin FrtnciKo, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and Denver, Colorado. chief of police to wait on the mayor and city council for Instructions In this particular regard. His duty should be plain to him; this Is apparent to eveiyhody who understands the situ ation. . The Morning Astorian does not be lieve in "protecting gamblers." Pro tection .s equivalent to offering them inducements to remain here. The ef forts of the municipal officials should be in the opposite direction. If the large revenue derived from these sourc es is so necessary and If, as has been claimed, the city is dependent on It to support the fire and police department and pay interest on the bonded Indebt edness, and, finally, If gambling can not be eradicated, why not increase the monthly fines and raise the saloon license? This would drive out of busi ness a large number of the fraternity leaving only the so-called respectable men la business and at the same time the revenue would not be reduced. Other reforms would follow In due course of time. C. J. Trenchard Insurance, Commission and Shipping, Agent Wells, Fargo and Pacific Express Companies.

THEnew lecturn presented to the Grace Episcopal church and dedicated on Wednesday evening was a fitting tribute to a woman who In life made the spreading of God's word her spec ial mission. The rector of the church must have felt comforted when the to ken of esteem was formally dedicated, representing, as it does, the memory, of one dear to him in life, so sweet to him in death. It is just such gracious acts of sympathy and kindness as the presentation of the handsome piece of chancel furniture to Grace Episcopal churcto:by the members of the guild and congregation, assisted by the con gregation of Holy Innocents church, that unites the pastor and his (lock, and render easier the work of both.
