that the ordinance stood for a re-
form which was demanded by the
best citizens of the community.
I am strenuousIy opposed to 1t be-
ing amended or referred to COM
mfttee. The ordinance seems to suit
the great mass of our people, and
there is no necessity for delay, either
by referring it as is contemplated or
by amending. i am not in favor of
such reference or amendment. Hav-
ing voted in favor of the ordinance
last Monday, and believing 1T to be
necessary for the welfare of our
city, L intend voting for its final
passage on Monday next.
If any changes are made after the
stand taken by the board there must
have been some influence, not for
good, brought to bear upon the

Every possible pressure has been
brought to bear upon members OF the
board to induce them to rescind or
modify their original action. The gam
blers exercise a powerful influence, ana
they have not scrupled to use it in the

now and we can not afford to back
down. Race tracks are Il nuisance
and II menace to the morals of our
city, and the sooner we curb their
evil influence the better 1T Will be
for the city. All the members of the
board are fully cOnversant with the
matter, and there is absolutely no
reason why it can not be settled nt
once. / understand that the race
track people are going to request
more time. but / do not think the
majority of the board Will grant
their request. They NIL know the
evil effects of race track gambling
and seem willing to wipe them out.
am cnly sorry that Our jurisdic-
tfon does not extend to other cOun-
ties where they have race tracks. I
would like to see them all ABOLISHED.
1 have heard the arguments of the
gamblers and am more familiar
with them than other members on
the board, and therefore 1 am not
to a committee or amending 1T, as
in my opinion 1T covers the whole
ground.
SUPERVISOR PERRAULT-I have
little doubt that the resolution in
troduced at the last meeting of the
board viii be finally passed at Mon
days meeting. Every member of the
board knows the evil effects of
gambling at Ingieside, and I believe
the majority of them are willing to
rectify the evil. / introduced the
resolution and I intend to exert
every effort to secure its final pas
sage. Too many of our young men
and women have fallen under IngIe-
sides load of temptation. 1 know
that all sorts of political trickery

people to frustrnte our attempts to
wipe out the evils of IngIeside, but
L have supreme faith in the majority
of the board standing by this resO-
luton. IngIeside has had its day;
morality viii celebrate on Monday.
SUPERVISOR DEASY-I shall vote
for the resolution introduced,
and shall do all in my power to
close the pool rooms and keep them
closed. Since last Monday n number
of good people have called on me
and commended the effort now be-
gun to remove the greatest evil
which infests our city. 1 sincerely
hope the ordinance viii became n
law. 1 have not heard of any effort
being made by gamblers to stop the
passage of the resolution.
SUPERVISOR BYINGTON - When
the ordinance was brought up be-

THE SUGAR TRUST WINS.

The Sugar Trust mas won in the
fierce commercial battle with the
Arbuckles. 1t has been a costly war,
but the people have had the benefit
of it so far Will the Trust now take
measures to recoup its losses, by adj
yancing prices? Probably not. The
men who control it find that their best
protection is in low prices.
In spite of hostile legislation, and
serious opposition for many years, the
Trust has maintained itself. Men with
experience, energy, and money have
beaten the crowd" The Arbuckles
measured their resources against the
resources of the Trust, and have lost
the battle, but are protected by the
victor This Trust is the largest OBJ
ject lesson before the American people
of the revolution in industrial work.
The popular thought about it is crude
and suspicious, and it fails to take into
account the growth of economic laws.
There is fear now that the independent
refineries will be driven to the wall.
But the men who manage the Trust are
much wiser than they were few years
ago. They are only aggressive, when
the interests of the Trust are in danger.

WAGES AND LABOR.

plOyment in the harvesting fields is. of
course, temporary, and the wages paid
for it do not fix the price for steady

ployed by the year are receiving large
ly increased wages.
The United States is the Paradise of

and situated near markels, it is the
