Donald filled in the gap by delivering a
forcible lecture to the members present.
He did not mince words. but hit out from
the shoulder. He advised the boys to
use the muscle and brain God had given
them to good advantage He beseeched
them not to lie around idle. but to go to
work and try and rise in the world. The
reverend father then said sharp things
and in concluding paid his respects to the
racetrack now running across the bay
He detailed a series Of conversations he
had overheard while returning one even
ing on the Oakland boat on which was
a crowd of lOud-voiced race-goers. and
he warned his young listeners to avoid
all such places. His speech was witty and
aroused laughter and was appreciated by
every one, judging by the applause.
Miss Coffey then made a little speech
as a preliminary to giving the decision
of the committee, and when she an
nounced that Power was the winner there
was more noise.
The exercises then closed with the sing

COURTS TAKEN TO TASK.

In the prelude to his sermon last night
the Rev. w. Z. Dugan Of the Stewart
Memorial Church took the courts TO task
for releasing the gamblers who were
recently caught gambling in the Market
street "dens." In part he said:
A raid has been made on the gambling dens
of Market street and the first case has been
tried IN our courts. The court has decided that
gambling with cards for money is as legal as
the preaching OF the gospel; that In the eyes OF
the law II is just right for these dens to
wreck homes and individuals as il is TO kin a

brow: that the gambling den reeking with
pollution and all that dcgrades life Is lust as
legal as the schoohouse or the church Of GOD.

said: Cromwell was the hero of the
English commonwealth. The revolution
from which ii sprang was part of a
grand world movement against kings in
the direction Of democracy. He said:

CONGRESSMAN llTAWNEY

CONGRESSMAN >TAwNEY has at
tanned such distinction in the organ
ization of the new house that other
members of the Minnesota delegation
are beginning to look upon him with
some suspicion. if not with feeling of
actual jealousy. There is no question
OF Tawney's ability and tact, but he
has an unpleasant way of letting peo-
pie know that however we'll they NAV
think of him, he thinks little better
OF himself than they do of him. But
for this unfortunate tendency on his
part he would be one of the strongest
men in the Minnesota delegation, or
indeed from the entire northwest.
And as it is he is constantly at the
front and one of the recognized leaders
of the house.

THERE has been fgh. and fuss. and
feathers enough ruffled over this Rob-

ternational problem ever presented to
congress. There was no occasion for
any Of it. 1t was largely matter of
show anyhow. Two or three million
women and several million men took
the trouble to petition congress and a
tremendous excitement was raised
about the matter when it might have
been disposed of quietly and expedi-
tlously without advertising to the
world at large, the fact that there is a
State in the union where thespeculiar

THOSE familiar with the habits and
customs in vogue among congressman
in Washington must have laughed in
their sleeves at some of the outbursts
of virtuous indignation when the Rob-
erts case was under discussion. The
difficulty that presented itself in the
way of Roberts as compared with them
was that Roberts had formally per-
mitted himself to be married to his
harem, while many of those upon the
floor who spoke most violently against
him, kept theirs in that state of sus-
pense which permitted of their release
from the domestic relation without the
formality of divorce. What pious
persons some of those congressman are!
