"If the King Is a Law-Breaker How

text chosen by Rev. J. R. T. Lathrop
of Orace Methodist church yesterday,
He aald: - v
- "It la well known that the mayor has
, chossn to Ignore tha law, to set It aside
end to choose a course for which he
claims to be entirely responsible that
course is to accept from certain gam
bling nouses a monthly license-fine,' and
this new form of graft la turned Into the
city treasury and goes to the Improve
ment of the city's streets, sidewalks and
engine houaee. The mayor claims that
this method stops . grafting among the
other offlclala and eonflnea the gambling
to certain quarters and givea tha city
the benefit of the business. The funds
mental Idea Is that the gamblers should
Help to bear the burdens of the city.
"It is not the purpose . of the cltl
sens who think. otherwise to makS any
- -attack vpoa tne -mayor aa a, private am
sen, ' but to arouse the people against
the full tendency and meaning of such
policy as he la now enforcing. This
policy restricts gamblng to certain
' houses. "What the merit of that Is It
would be difficult to aee. These bouses
are the moat prominent centers of sin
. In the city; and the license-fine received
le-so meager from each house In a month
that th wonder Is tt should be consid
ered anywise justifiable. The whole
sum in a year la amazingly a mall and
could not possibly go far toward mak
ing any considerable Improvement, and
the extra police which will certainly be
needed If this policy la continued will
lone cost more than the whole amount
of the flnea.

that certain bouses shall run and that
other, bouses shall not. , That the police

rest other aramblera ia a -discrimination
enforced by the mayor, and amounta to
nothing less than claaa legislation. Al
ready the mayor la confronted with the
Claimed right of the Chineae lotteries to
run, on condition that tbey also pay the
fine. The mayor saya that these lotteries
are practical robbery. Does be believe
-that any form' Of gambling Is less than
robbery? He also says that women and
boys and even girls are allowed to pat
ronise them. , la tha. mayor aura that
boya, at leaatl are not found In the very
houses ha protects! All this is but the
, beginning of his troubles under such a
method as-he has adopted.
"The cltliens desired the new charter
because It gave to the mayor supreme
authority. - and the general belief waa
that It would be better to have the au
thority centralised In the mayor than
distributed to the departments and so
we voted for the charter. Thia charter
givea to the mayor power to stop all
gambling. Ha needa but to aay th
word. Besides, the mayor declared in
his inaugural address that he would en
force the law as he found it on the
stajute books, and upon that promise he
was elected.
"Now, our position -is, granting even
that public gambling cannot be stopped.
What is that to tha mayor T What is
tha duty of the mayor? Simply to en
force the, law and maintain it. The law
may be bad; then let tt be changed by
proper methods. It Is plainly not the
right of the mayor to create law, but to
enforce law."

Rev. J. F. Ghormley, In his prelude
last evening at the First Christian
church, apoke on that attitude of the
mayor of Portland toward gambling and
other Crimea in thia city. He aald. In
part: ,
Let it be understood that the minis
tera have no personal fight with His
Honor George H. Williams, but with his
policy as mayor in relation to the en
forcement of law. On general principles
where an executive la elected to a pub
lic omce it la his sworn duty to en
force the law, but in this particular In
stance the mayor before hla election
atooct pledged to the moral forces of
Portland, that if elected he would en
force the law. He says he made the
attempt but failed. It haa com to pass
that aa go the citlea ao goea the country.
If the law cannot be enforced in our
eltlea our form of government la a fall
ure. Gambling ia a crime, forbidden by
state law and city ordinance and no
amount of money received as a fine-
license can make it right or Justify its
practice. , -
