Why are Uiese men o terribly Interested In knocking out the license project? What reason have they got for It? What are these holy and moral dive keepers after? Their occupation Is gone If the ordinance passes, and they know It. We ask Mr. Staver to tell us any other conclusions to be drawn from their present actions. No man In Astoria can aay that the deep concern of these men means anything but the fear of losing business and rev enue. They rob their patrons right and loft under cover. Even If they could find the money to pay for a II- twenty-four cense they would be compelled to give their visitors an even chance with themselves. 'A monopoly In the business of rob bing men." This Is a false assumption. As we have already stated, this very "rob bery" will by license and subsequent .v.. Af h i.itv suppresslonhor council have a duty to perform that supervision, be completely done away A ,( thoueht and with. Wipea out ana aooimucu. enilUJM uccy wiv v. - consideration on the part of every mem ber. It is probable that the ordinance to license gambling will be Introduced to their notice, and we ask of them aa men In a public position to lose sight of all other influence but the desire to do their duty Let us strip this question of its bitter ncss and recrimination, and see what arguments have been put forth by; the strongest and most worthy of the op ponents of a license. In the first place It has been gener ally acknowledged that the communl cation of Rev. Mr. Btaver 6f the Con gregatlonal church, published In iThe Astorlan last week, was the essence of all the arguments that have been a .... nooinat mir Dositlon. The netipcu ui' - writer is one of the most respected members of the community, and his Btrong array of statements had very "Th attitude of the community should be one of uncompromising hos tility to all forms of gambling. But Is It? Mr. Staver has too much knowledge of men not to be aware that unless the sentiment of a community Is overwhelmingly in favor of any law, It cannot be enforced. There are dozens of laws on the statute books of Oregon and overy other state of the Union today, that never have been and never can be enforced. We ask the city councillors to con sider these things on their merits, and to show by their official acta that they stand for order, Justice, and common sense. We grant that the present or dinance may be crude, imperfect, and Incomplete, that contains clauses that can be well eliminated, and that there is room for clauses which do not ap pear in It at all, but let them take the measure, discuss It, and remodel It to properly, considerable weight. But we gut thelr ,deafl on the subject. Let desire to correct him in the an iropor- them t0 the spirit or tne tning, nortimiiBr. and to prove that the . nnninlM its main motive as one iaiik -.. caAiv r r " - suppositions set forth, are merely suppo- thftt gtands for progressive civilization sltlons, unproved toy experiment or o- and the lessening of crime. perlence. I You have tried total prohibition of "Thom are no means which men I , Anii that has failed. You adopt for money making more dlshon- leaving It alone. And that than gambling. JltLB i 114 11 Now try the alternative, AND IT WILL NOT PAIL. est Leaving out the palpable absurdity that a man Is "dishonest" because he chooses to risk his money on a chance, the statement is incorrect. One-sixth of the men who go into gambling houses go for the excitement and not for money making purposes at all. "It violates the laws of both man and God." It it njHt for ut to declare thai when Hire clergymen attempt to touch In a timid way tho quettton which it at the bottom of our present municipal dltcontent, they are ,o wedded to tho ettabllthed order, and to din a revolution that ww. i f rsr vf "-'4 v We publish thlB morning the opln-1 tMr u chiefly excrdeed In etad .. ... A.. I . .. lonB of eminent legal auinormes w iv ; pointr show that gambling will not be agalnsl the laws of man. We challenge an Christian minister show ub that gam bling, however evil Us effects, Is adverse to the laws of God. Gambling, we free ly admit, is wrong In Ub principles ano Us tendences, and anything but elevat ing in Us effects. But what are we tc understand by the expression that It it against the laws of God? "It takes without giving an equiv alent, and hence 1b robbery." Then anybody that takes a thing without giving an equivalent 1b a rob ber? This remarkable reasoning would make a thief of a blind man on whom a person bestows alms. "License 1b not a step that can be taken and easily retraced. Why not? Tho city could jro back tr tho nid system, in a week, or a month or a year. If It wanted to. What would be the difficulty in doing this? "LicenBe will extend a protection to the gambling business." License will do nothing of the sort. It will extend a close survelllanc over the business, it will abolish all contri vance! for cheating, it will make the evil one of pure chance on both' sides, The law Is In every man's hand. The jwest grade of humanity in this coun- ry can set it in motion. Mr. Landen ,nd Mr. Dllworth are on the top rung f the social ladder. What have tuy done? Mr. Landen and Mr. Dllworth have ,oth been among us for some time. hey have known of the corruption and 1th In Swllltown all along. What hava they doueY They have done absolutely nothing I'hey hod it In their power, In three nlnutea. to set the law In motion .igalnst the thieves and blacklegs whose mission Is robbery. And they have not Htlrred a finger Why BttV It has been one of three things. They have been afraid, they have been In different, or they have recognized that any attempt at reform would be use less. We wish to believe, as they have not seen fit to answer our question, or to come and demand the five hundred dollars we offered to any charity In the city, that the last reason Is the correct one Today The Astorlan Is moving for and It will bring thlB thing into the light reform the only reform possible in of day Instead of allowing It to corrupt and rot the city lit secret and under cover. "The business Is devilish, per se." This we deny absolutely. If the state ment la true, then a church fair Is a criminal transaction, and the very act of a young lady who asks you to "take a chance" In a raffle is a "crime." Could any proposition be more rash or ab surd? "License will not lessen the amount of gambling. opinion and these gentlemen do not hesitate to block our path when we are conscientiously attempting to remedy what they have knowingly been afraid to touch atnee the two years of their residence In this city.. Is this true r false ? Mrs. Kinney's letter in another col umn will be read with a good deal of interest We doubt the advisability of women appearing in the political arena, for their Durlfylnir Influence would be If this Is a fact, why Is It that every gained at too great a sacrifice of their home, influence. The purest men ana the purest womn are not svrfTlclentty numerous In this city to contend suc sessfully against the element that ex iBts in every seaport town, the greed for gain that measures the value of every proposition by the dollars that are in It It, and the Indifference that cannot be roused to radical moral reform. Much as we revere and admire the wonderful progress of women, their push, enthusiasm, and earnestness dur: Ing the past few years, much as we know that we could have no more ar dent champions of public morality or honest dealing, we believe that a worn ,.. uhnuM be bounded 'by her ca s home, her affections, her charities, and her children. The power of the mother for right should be exercised not by women on their sons and other people's sons through city council legislation as the writer suggests, but before those sons have left the paternal roof to go out Into the world. Wouldn't It do much to test the prac ticability of Mrs. Kinney's proposition to bring forward a women's ticket at the next city election? The aainbllng erll it a degrading tune, but one which hat wlthttood all effort to uproot it. Let It, therefore, be controlled and confined within the narrowett pottible llmltt. ' It la the general feeling In the com munity that the salaries of our police officials ought to be raised. The propo sition to pay good wages is a sound and substantial one. We advocate It on tho ground of expediency. The ques tion has been ventilated at length In these columns, and, in impressing on the minds of the council the necessity for a change, we can only say that it Is with the Arm belief that the slight increase of financial expense will event ually be for more than balanced by the redoubled efficiency of every mem ber of tho force. If we want men to work well we must treat them well. When a motive is governed by conscl entlousness .and a desire to lift out of the rut and cast aside prejudices that smother progress and bring on decay, when furthermore that sense of abso lute honesty in the support of a cause is the help and standby of Us ad- ocates, surely Us exponents can be content to wait for public commenda tion. The Astortans' place among the community is In the front rank of de cency and order. We think that how ever bitterly our opponents (meaning our honest opponents) are fighting our present stand, they will hardly deny the conviction and unbiassed earnest ness that urges our cause. It Is half our battle to feel that we. "fight it with clean hands.
