THE REAL QUESTION INVOLVED.
IIE EXIGENCIEir-of tbcreafltpaiRn have forced
Lthe-mivQT for a second time to appear before the
public : in a formal interview,aUhough:.lei3 j
scheduled to open his campaign next Monday. it ap
pear that. he adopted the municipal partnership with jth
gambling- tfnst on the advicejif Councilmafi Zimmerman
and other and justifies the step because of the dilap
idated, condition of the firehouses -which otherwise could
not have been made habitable. It would seem that a

it pecesssry to rnake partnersm
- with the gamblers and in consideration of the immunity
thus f?ratwd take a share of the' profits of the business
fot municipal ipurposrsrbot'whetner. that was the law.
There never -was and never could be any difference of
' opinion on this score. The law against' gambling was so
plain and specific that there could bejio .difference, of
opinion in Its interpretation. By what "authority then did
JtlayorWilWa m -nulji yMhjafrertbTatlfr
that law was in the hands of the legislature "andthere
alone; it had not only not changed it but it had not auth
orized anybody else to change it If the mayor had the
iwer-lheiueverytherituen had preciselythe same-
right to obey such laws as-suited his interests and to dis
regard all others. - ; ' ;
; And therein many jpe'ople are finding a fundamental
principle in the present campaign. On one vide the law
is absolutely tq govern and the other it is to be altered
. and abrogated as suits the purposes, fancies and exigen
cierof the present administration. We believe that with
theJpcricncjjrticpeoplc of Portland have had in retting
down. the barsjhveiyirwtto-a4i44erniciQUS re
i . suits which have followed they will, not hesitate which
system they will prefer and demand.' " "
As it happens there are. many things to be attended o
that are of a public character, and this can only be done
by-an organization supplied with the right sort of as
sistance. It should not be too much to ask every on,e to
give a little help, wben-o many ' are nof Dnly helping
financially but donating'tfie ir-serices-s -well. This is
the only avenue tlirough which the work can be main
tained, and this resource withdrawn everything will again
relapsfiyHnto slipshod conditions. Those who wish- to
help along the-good cause may send or leae contribu
tions at Woodard, Clarke & Co., Ben Selling, pids, Vort
