SAY MACHINES
ARE ILLEGAL
Alameda's City Attorney and
Other Counsel File Report
Against the Slot Devices
VIOLATE THE STATUTES.
Proposed Ordinance to Lii
cense the Contrivances
Appears to Be Doomed
VIOLATE THE STATUTES

ALAMEDA, April 14.-City Attorney
M w. Simpson holds that the slot ma
chimes in the saloons and cigar stores
of this city are being operated in vio-
lation of the law His opinion, sub
mitted to the City Trustees. follows:
Gentlemen: Referring to the matter
of the legality of slot machines, upon
which you request my advice, l beg
leave to report the following:
Section $40 of the Penal Code of Cal
ffornia provides that every person who
deals, plays or carries on, opens, or
causes to be opened, or who conducts,
either as owner or employee, whether
for hire or not, any game of faro,
monte, roulette, lansquenet, rouge ct
noir, rondo. tan, fantan, studhorse
poker, seven and a half, twenty-one,
hokey pokey, or any banking or per-
centage game played with cards. dice or
any device, for money, checks, credit
or other representative of value, and
every person who plays or bets at or
against any of the same prohibited
games, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
considering the subject it will be
necessary to assume the manner of
operating slot machines, which I do in
the following:
'Nickels or other coins are placed in
the machines by the player, which per-
nit the same to be operated or played,
and upon the hazard or chance of the
play the player either wins or loses. and
If he wins he receives checks, cigars.
money or other representative Of value
which are paid by the person owning or
conducting the machine Whether or
not the acts described are unlawful de-
pends simply upon fair construction
Of the law which have quoted.
MY opinion is that slot machine
operated under the supposed conditions
constitutes a banking game played
with a device for money, checks, credit
or other representative of value and
that it's operation under such condi-
tfons is forbidden by law"
Attorney Charles c. Boynton has ad-
dressed a communication to the City
Trustees. in which he holds that the To-
cal ordinance imposing a license tax Of
$40 year on slot machines is Illegal
and that the gambling contrivances are
being operated In violation of section
$50 of the Penal Code. In his letter
Boynton says in part:
while we should go after the di-
rect violators of the law, we should
likewise take hand in anything that
might be construed as giving them en-
couragement to violate the law and
that If we are as city going to permit
to stand on our book of ordinances
clause or sentence in spirit so signifi-
cantly encouraging to certain char
acter of gambling lawbreakers, we
should neither be surprised nor loud IN
our regrets that gambling existed and
f1ourished ir our city"
City Trustee Gorham has introduced
an ordinance to place a license tax Of
800 a year on slot machines, but in
view of the opinion of City Attorney
Simpson this measure will probably be
laid over Monday night and a movement
inaugurated to abolish the machines IN
this city.

NOLAN CASE
IS REFERRED

SANTA ROSA, April 14-The Sonoma
County Board of Education today re-
ferred the charges made by Mrs. Jennie
Nichols of San Francisco against Prin-
cipal Walter c. Nolan of the Sonoma
city schools and a member of the county
board. based on statements of DIR. w. E.
Byron of that city, to the State Board
of Education. The State board was re-
quested to receive the charges and take
such action as may seem proper.
Principal Nolan desired to have a pub
lie hearing here, where all parties reside.
but the county board decided that it had
no jurisdiction owing to the fact that he
held State life diploma issued by the
State board, which could be revoked by
no other authority than that which is
sued it.

can think clearly, speak intelligently,
and do well the things he tells how
to do. Any education which has not
for its object the fitting of the ind
viduaI to better meet life's duties has
no reason to exist. The study of agri-
culture surely has this. Any educa-
ton which causes the student to feel
above the practice of his work is
a nuisance. Let us remember the
words of Makey:
"And joy to him, who DER his task,
Remembers toll is natures plan;
Who working, thinks-and never sinks
His independence as a man."
We should not study agriculture
solely that we may be able to grasp
more dollars, that would be low con-
ceptiOn, but that we may see life as
it is and understand the intimate and
delicate relation that exists between
one plant and another, between plants
and animals, and the relation of both
to the soil that produced both. The
enthusiasm, the interest thai the
young farmer finds in his work when
he understands that work, not alone
the how and the when, which are all
why of this and that, and the why
not some other way, is unlifting, while
principles understood and applied
solve many new problem.
Walking through fields with boots
and Overalls will not make a farmer

ten or forty years and allows that
soil to become exhausted and nOn-pro-
ductive deserves not the name of farm.

As i'm every other profession. some
graduates in agriculture fail. some be
cause they find too much real work
attached to the business, some because
they are over enthusiastic for new
ventures, and some because they are
no good anywhere. You can't temper
lead nor polish sawdust The school
is to train. not create brains. Or. in
the language of President Roosevelt,
Neither college training nor any
thing else can do much good to the
man of weak fiber or to the man with
a twist in his moral or intellectual
makeup. But the average undergrad
uate has enough robustness of nature.
enough capacity for enthusiasm and
aspira ton. to make it worth while to
turn to account the stuff that is in
him.
The farm boy of practical bent will
find in the study of agriculture vast
seas of practical points. all he can
ever use. and the high school graduate
with ambition for future greatness in
the scholastic world will find in the
study of agriculture subjects as deep
and as scientific. as broad and as fas-
''''iio as III any othtl pure VI dp-
piled science. What field this that
the agriculturiSt has. from study of
the tiny germs that sour the milk to
the mighty storm cloud that destroys
the crops of state: from study of
the spirit of The fast horse and sens
tive COW to the several inanimate
though intricate machines.
