MSS rather than light, BECAUSE THEIR
DEEDS ARE EvH.."-join, |. 10, will DC
true TO the end. "A stitch in Iime,'' &c.
[Omr friend seems to be stirring up
some things that many would prefer kept
quiet. However, for his information we
will say that there is no territorial law,
we believe, requiring saloons to close at
any fixed hour. At the last session Of the
Legislature, Gov. Ferry, then clIiet exc
cutive, expressed Il desire to hive such a
law passed, but nothing decisive was
done. The city government has authori-
ty 10 close saloons IT fixed hours. by Or
dinance, bnt has never done so. There is
a law against gambling. stringent one
at that. Ii was passed in 1879; but has
never been tested, mainly because it is a
little in advance of public Sentiment and
does not receive hearty moral sanction.
One cllstom, evidently overlooked by our
tault-llndinS correspondent, and which,
we are sorry to say, is allowed III at least
one Port Townsend saloon, is thar OF per-
mitting quite young boys TO enter and
participate ia games of chance &c, thus
initiating them cary into the mysteries OF
vice. We are glad that most Of our s;l-
loon keepers are commercially careful III
this respect. Boys learn quite soon
enough TO disSipatc their health and the
teachings OF fond parents, and to help
them to form vicious habits before their
judgment is developed into any sort of a
guide is very wrong. Most cities enact
ordinances to prevent them from running
it large after certain hours at night, and
Port Townsend could profitably initiate
such eXample.-ED

alert and wide awake to the city's in

broadest sense Of the word gentle

ton and business qualities necessary to
discharge the duties promptly. and Q
sufficient knowledge of the law to
know exactly what those duties are.
Hence it is that any falsehoods that

repeated by street losfers and black
