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.

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.
