Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
The present state of affairs, good, 0
bad. Is the result OF the operation o
the license system In the midst of 10
cal conditions. Whatever may be tn
result elsewhere this state OF affairs II
Astoria includes:
/. An excessive number Of licensed
saloons.
2. Deficiency of legal restrictions OF
the liquor traffic.
3. Uncontrolled, unlicensed gam
bling.
3. Confessed helplessness In the pres.
ence of drunkenness, gambling and
prostitution.
3. No attempt at the arrest of Of
tenders
9. Demand for an extension Of the
license system to include gambling
amongst adults.
These things have arisen under the
license system, How do they stand re-
lated to the extension OF the sphere Of
license?
Legal restrictions OF liquor selling
are powerless Why should we think
that legal restrictions Of gambling
would be effective. when the parties
in interest are the same?
Illegal gambling would require an
efficient police force to repress II, then;
why does not illegal gambling find an
efficient police to suppress It now? And
where would II come from then?
When law is not enforced, either the
executive is corrupt. or public opinion
Is Indifferent. Would an extension OF
the license system to include gambling
amongst adults correct these defects,
one or both?
Would It's further extension to In
clude gambling amongst boys have
stiil better results? Would Its further
extension to include prostitution be an
additional corrective? VIM Mr.. Ra-
thom please answer.
II may be said that licensed hells
would themselves suppress unlicensed
hells In sele-defense. But Il has not
been found that vice is diminished by
concentration. and in fact. high saloons
do not suppress low saloons. but rather
sustain them; as butchers keep hogs
Ito devour the offal.
The immediate and direct effect of H.
censing crime Is to evade responsibility,
but the first duty Of good citizen Is to
accept t. Yours, ETC.,

Editor Astorian:

In your issue Of this morning you ex.
tend an invitation to the public for
the expression Of opinion on the gam
bling ordinance" /, in common with
others have an opinion.
First the state has made gambling
a crime. That statute must be uni
versal in its scope. 1t could not give
Astoria the right to set that law aside
in my opinion. If 1t could what would
be a crime in one part Of the state
would not be in another. This would
be absurd on the face of 1t; you cannot
license crime that has been so de-
clared by law. II it could be, then
stealing, robbing, and all other crimes
could be legalized. The state must
have concurrent Jurisdiction In the
punishment of all crimes with any
corporation.
II the city should license gambling
and the gambling places should openly
set UP business, Sheriff Smith could
arrest the parties by state law and
have them tried and convicted. Then
where would your license be? The only
thing the state can do is to grant the
city the right to legislate In aid OF the
suppression of crime. am not q law
yer, but this strikes me as common
sense view of 1t.
1t is claimed by the Historian" that
there are a great many places In the
city where gambling is carried on con-
trary to law in back rooms, and where
men and boys are led astray and that
this license would stop all this. 1t Isl
the opinion Of the Historian" that all
these places would shut up shop and
repair to the authorized parlors where
they could gamble to their hearts con-
tent; and does the Historian" think
that this gambling made honorable by
law, would be less demoralizing to men
and boys than the back room gamb-
ling? II 1t does, 1t Is more verdant
than the people have given 1t credit
for. The fact Is jvery back room
gambler would fight for his business
as assIduously as he now does, and
would have to be hunted down with
as much energy as 1t would take to
overthrow him under the present or
der of things. The plea that laws
against gambling and other crimes
can't be enforced,ls slander on any
community, and the reputation Of any
officer is clouded when such declara-
tions are openly made on the streets,
and through our most prominent news
papers. The idea that an officer can't
enforce q law against crime when he
has the whole United States army be-
hind him Is mere subterfuge is alb
surd, and places the community where
1t is uttered in an unenviable light be-
fore the world
The civilized world has stamped
gambling as bllghting curse, and no
greater calamity could befal Astoria
than the attempt to legalize 1t on the
plea that the laws against 1t can't be
enforced. Many of the patrons of the
Historian" have been surprised at the
stand 1t has taken In this matter.
think / speak the sentiments of the
bone and sinew of this community
who have given the matter the proper
thought. Yours, etc.

B = Shubael $. Isham, well-known farmer of Columbia, met with fatal ac- cident while assisting his son-in-law, Alonzo Little, remove load of hay from his lower barn. The hay had been load ed upon the wagon, and MT. Isham and his little grand daughter were upon the load. In attempting to turn around the wagon, which was upon side hill, it was overturned and both were thrown to the ground. The little girl escaped without serious injury; but MT. Isham struck up- on, his head, fracturing the base of the skull. He was picked up and carried to his home in an unconscious condition, in which state he remained until his death, which occurred little before noon. He was about sixty-five years of age. He leaves wife and five children. He was a native of Holland.
 At Hampton, near Willimantic, the hu- mane society agent has found the worst case of inhdmanity reported in long time. The guilty man is Farmer Andrew Ringe. In a barn ready to fall down, were found roaming about unclaimed and unfettered, shivering in the cold and bel lowing and bleating from hunger, ten head of cattle and forty Live sheep. Scattered in various parts of the dilapidated struc- ture were the carcasses of eleven sheep, one COW and one bull. Mingled with this scene of life and death was an occasional snow bank and the accumulation of filth consequent upon the keeping of so many cattle all winter with no effort to remove their offal.

The case is an especially noted one, because the boys mother is widely known as a laborer in reformatory move ments, and sympathy goes out to her. There is, however, a side of justice, also. The remembrance of a mothers love for her boy should not hide that of mother for daughter, led astray, deceived, and murdered If the evidence did not sus- tain the verdict, the governor will be more readily convinced by arguments than by oratory.
