Fisher of the Star bak- cry at Five Points Recently an ordi- snance was passed by the council fixing a quarterly license of $S on those pee pie living outside of the city and doing business ia the city.

 Sunday evening at the outdoor union church services the Rev. Cal Og5urn preached one of the most powerful ser mons ever delivered to a Phoenix audi ence. He took as his text: "Is It We'll With the Young Man? ?" and for more than an hour held the audience spell bound with the eloquence of the burn ing truths which he spoke He clearly depicted the social and moral condi- tion of the ten millions of young men now in the United States and drew vivid picture of the temptations and pitfalls to which they are subjected be- fore reaching the age of thirty years He drew on the probable effects of these conditions upon the coming gen. ration and particularly called atten- tion to the dormant state of the churches and the neglect of members throughout America to give proper heed to the moral welfare of the young men, into whose keeping would come that blessed heritage, National free dom and independence. He made a telling local application during his re- marks by stating that with the excep- tion of the soloons there was not in Phoenix place where young men who were strangers in the city could be sure of a ready welcome, and called up- on his hearers to bestir themselves to provide free library and reading room where all corners would be made to feel that some one was interested in their we'll being, without pay or price,
