CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.
The Women's Club Are Making Plans
to Assist in 6eautifyina the City.

Editor Morning Astorian;
The agitation for clean city you are
keeping before the people in the col
umns of the Astorian Is very grattfy-
ing to the civic improvement commit
tee of The Woman's Club,
The committee is working on various
projects for the better appearance of
the city: some of which are beginning
to bear fruit-sman to be sure--bu, a
beginning.
other plans will materialize shortly
we hope. The great thing is to set the
corporation of every man. woman and
child in the city. To get them to see
the untidy appearance OF the city.
1t is a fact. as We confessed among
ourselves, that We had become so used
to these things that we did not see
them ourselves until we began TO work
on this line.
1t is q campaign of education that
is needed. The children and these OF
larger growth threw papers ana fruit
Feelings on the street with no thought
except their own convenience.
We hope you will keep up The agl-
tation till the sight of rubbish of all
sorts will so annoy our citizens that
they will individually feel responsible
either directly or indirectly for Its re-
moval. and until they will call mass
meeting If there is not other way to
clean up the vacant lots which are a
moral disgrace TO any city.

TIME NEARLY UP.
Nehalem Coal Company Has Not Paid
the Stockholders.

bUc SsOSNIlOiSct9s
on December 80, 1904, there was a
meeting of the stockholders of the Ne
halem Coal Company, and trouble was
avoided by the promise Of the pro-
moters agreeing to dispose of the coal
field and reimburse all the small stock
holders for the money they had put in,
aggregating about $4,000. With this
understanding, and the further under
standing that the money would be
Forthcoming within 80 days. the matter
was dropped. The so days expires on
the 30th of March, and as yet there
has been no effort to dispose of the
coal fields. 1t was claimed at the
meeting that there was party of Jap
anese capitalists on the way to in
vestigate the fields. but it is probable
that they have been busy in Manchu-
ria walloping the Slavs. One thing Is
certain, the stockholders will not tole-
rate any more monkey business, and
unless something is done there are
threats Of civil and criminal prosecu-
ton.

Yesterday Sheriff Lnville notified al
Owners Of gambling games and all oc.
cupants Of buildings where gambling is
carried on, that they must close thei,
games. and that from now on NJ
gambling would be permitted In AS
toria, Tais does not apply 10 nickel.
in -the-slot machines, as they are H.
censed by ordinance II has been
known for some time that Sheriff LIN
lvile intended to put n stop TO gam,
bling. II has been done by the sheriff
in every county in Oregon except Clat
sop county. The city authorities re-
fuse TO enforce the laws and ordi-
narces and the duty has devolved upon
the sheriffs.
Astoria is the only city in Oregon
where gambling IS permitted. 1t has
the reputation Of being wide open
town." which is no credit to Il. When
a city licenses vice and crime, II sets
a bad example to the rising genera.
tion. and they have more temptations
to go wrong in Astoria than any othe:
city on the coast. There are at least
20 young men that have been ruined
b. gambling in Astoria during the past
two years. There are hundreds OF men
who blow In all OF their wages against
the gambling tables, leaving their fam,
lilies to suffer for the necessities Of
life.
The only justification offered for
permitting gambling. is that II pro-
vides a revenue for the city. II a city
has to depend upon money received
from licensing vice, It is certainly no
credit to the city, and there ought TO
be other means OF raising revenues.
In most cities where gambling has
been stopred. the saloon licenses have
been raised. In Aberdeen. South
Bend, Yakima and dozens OF other
Washington cities. the license IL $1,000
a year. In Albany the licenes has been
raised to $500 year, and the same In
Portland. II the license is raised to
$500 year In Astoria 1t will more than
offset the revenue derived from gam
bling. There Is no reason for levying
an occupation tax upon legitimate
business. II saloons are allowed To-
exist. let them pay the expenses of
running the city government.
Sheriff Linville is entitled to and
ought to receiev the support OF every
business man in Astoria, There is not
a business house but will be benefited
by the closing Of gambling. Many
men have been trusted for the neces.
saries of life, and instead OF paying
their bills the money has gone over
the gambling table. There ought to
be sufficient moral sentiment In AS
toria with It's $4,000 population, to stand
by the sheriff, and now that gambling
has been closed down, to see that II
does not open again. The common
council has no legal right to license
it, but If II wants to take the RESPONSE
bility on Its shoulders, the blame viii |
rest upon the members Of that body
and not upon the sheriff. who is simply |

Talents and Confidence.

s1ngle-talent man, supported by
great self-confidence, will achieve more
than ten-talent man who does not be-
lieve in himself. The mind cannot act
with vigor in the presence of doubt. A
Wavering mind makes wavering exc
cutlon. There must be certainty, conf
dence and assurance, or there can be
no efficiency. An uneducated man who
believes in himself, and who has faith
that he can do the thing he undertakes,
often puts to shame the average college
bred man, whose over-culture and
wider outlook have sometimes bred in
creased sensitiveness and lessening
of self-confidence whose decision has
been weakened by constant weighing OF
conflicting theories and whose preju-
dices are always open to conviction

Odd Utility of Wives.

In a recent case in London a detec-

counterfeiters to marry women solely
for the purpose of passing bad coins on
the public. These marriages are not
contracted from any feelings of mutual
attraction or even trade partnership
but in the belief that juries have a re-
luctance in convicting wives.
