THE SLOT MACHINES.
A Mothers Analysis of the Cause of
Their Existence.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Permit me space TO comment on
a sentence in the statement from the
Federation of Churches" printed in this
mornings Register. The sentence Is as
follows: "0ur object is the suppression
of vice" | know the first meaning of
Ito suppress" is to oyerpower-to crush
Ito destroy. but the means which the
Federation would have the Mayor and
police employ, it seems to me, would
only ''keepAin; restrain from utter
ance; retaifA without disclosures, &c.
which are the second and third mean
ings of the term. The matter lies
deeper, and is more far reaching. You
can not eradicate vice by destroying
all the slot machines in the world. You
must commence with the children at
the mothers breast. The matter rests
with the parents and the preachers.
Our girls must be taught the duties and
responsibilities of wifehood and mother>
hood. Our boys must learn the duties
of husbands and fathers. When
look abroad and see the neglect OF these
homely duties. | often wonder that
there is not more vice than actually
exists. l see young boys and young

tending to the finances OF the parish
and neglecting the lambs Of their folds,
to whom they should teach the truths
of Holy Writ. Thousands OF dollars
spent for fine improvements In the
churches and not a cent for kinder
gartens. Ministers, minister's wives,
mothers and fathers spending vast sums
on dress and entertainments, and the
children left to servants and the school
of the streets. Oft times the number
of children are limited by unlawful and
unholy means. Is it any wonder that
slot machines and other devices OF
Satan flourlshl Let us then begin at
the foundation. Let US guard, guide,
instruct and entertain our chill
dren at home. Fill their neArts and
minds with q love of all things pure
and beautiful. Warn them against en-
ticing agencies which seek their SOULS

way of life, aid tine slot machines
