Arthur B. Reeves, in Public Opinion, reports that great many country cler- gymen, among whom he made a can vass, said that conditions among coun- try churches were not anywhere near as bad as generally believed, and gave some favorable statistics, but that they almost invariably gave reasons why things were as bad as they are, indi- eating that the clergymen were not as optimistic as they tried to appear to be.

Raid Of the Gamblers
A Oetriment and Should
Be Crushed.
Will George q Victim Of His Own
Folly.

The State Fair for 1906, has
come and gone and is matter of
history. The gate receipts, de-
spite the rain, were in advance
of former years, save last year.
This year, this the greatest of
all fairs, has been. not without
its attending evils. The gam
bier was in evidence-the ever
prevalent "crap game with its
accompanying detriments, was a
source of graft for the hustler
from the United States at large.
Pimps, FOUNDERS and prostitute
women we're thick; every train
brought them and with them, the
vice that is theirs. Every effort
was made on the part of Mr..
Hatch to SUPPRESS the vices of the
crap game, but to no avail. raids
were made, devices confiscated,
pharaphenalia smashed. but the
craps went on. This is begin
ming to be intolerable.
The crap game should be made
to go, and thus the mainspoke in
the wheel of vice will be crushed.
The crap shooter is menace, a
blackguard, criminal, a vaga-
bond in the presence of society.
Boys of the Joe Hicks order, are
simply being dragged down to
the lowest stages of degradation
by these blood sucking vampires.
We have no apologies to make
for the habitual drunkard but be
is far better than the crap shoot
er. This specie of human comes
in contact with the convict, the
former convict, the fugitive from
justice, the cocaine fiend, the dis
reputable policeman, etc. He is
fraud, cheater and a cut
throat. His aim in life is 20 cheat
the unawary and he succeeds.
Something for nothing, is the
motive. The frequenter of these

of them, part and parcel of
their thievery, connivance and
deviltry.
Several raids of Importance
were made on Will Georges re.
sort where G. G. Lee was in
charge of the .take-off box.
Will George is a victim of his
own folly, in taking Lee into
his scheme of running crap
games, a man of Republican
propensities, a man who has
made himself unpopular so far
AS the city of Springfield is con
cerned, just on account of his
past performances along this
line. 1t is clearly evident that
the city administration would be
aversed to Lees being a party to
any gambling operation; it is as
clearly evident that Mr.. Hatch
would not tolerate Will Georges S

NOISY UNEMPLOYED AT CHURCH
Australian Preacher Is Interrupted by
Cries of "Rot" in Sermon
on Future Life

special CdDle 10 1llS G1SIdlu'
MELBOURNE, Aug. 19.-For many
Sundays some hundred or so of the
loaf1ng unemployed-men who refuse
to work even If offered it--have been
making a round of the principal Mel
bourne churches!S led by Tom Mann,
the English labor leader. and ]. w.
Fleming, a notorious agitator. One
Sunday visit was made to the Scots
church on Collins street. and the fol-
lowing account is but type of the
behavior of this discreditable body at
each of the leading churches they have
successfully attended:
Some 40 unemployed marched to the
church. They were told that seats had
been reserved in the back but Come
up to the 'front.' said Mr.. Mann,
and up they went.
Everything proceeded quietly until
the preacher. the Rev. DR.. Marshall,
alluded to life after death. This
brought forth loud cries of Rot" and
groans which drowned the preachers
voice. He demonstrated with the in
terrupters, but they shouted the loud
er, and finally he left the pulpit.
Then the organist played a vo1un-
tary and the congregation quietly filed
out of the church, leaving the unem-
ployed in possession. Some further
noisy scenes followed, after which Mr.
Mann thanked the unemployed for
their behavior, and they dispersed.

Los Anaeles--Hears Many Flat
terIng Words While He Is
In the East

"I would rather live under a tin pan
in Los Angeles than I'm a mansion any
where i'm the east" said Cal F. Hunter
yesterday.
Mr.. Hunter who devotes his time to
managing his own property and also
that of John Mason, ow-er of the
Mason opera house, has just returned
after a business and pleasure trip OF
two months In the east.
1t was his first visit east in several
years, and he was most emphatic in his
remarks indicating a prefere ico for Los
Angeles as q home.
"The country Lack east does not look
as it did when l lived there score of
years ago." said Mr.. Hunter, "and even
the people seem to have changed. They
impress me as being listless IL not
lazy, and they have permitted their
property to run down N a frighttul
manner.
Fine orchards that used to delight
my heart during my boyhood days IN
Indiana have been permitted to die out,
the woods in which we hunted the
festive squirrel and the cottontail have
been cut down, all kinds of fences, ex-
cept the political variety are in the
down-and-out class and the buildings
loook dilapidated.
Everything DiIapdated
Altogether the physical conditions
as 1 found them after {. lapse of several
years We're disappointing, although I
must admit that everyone appears
prosperous and there iS no sign of stag
nation in any line of business or in
dustry.
II visited all the middle western
states and went as far east as Pitts
burg, and everywhere 1 heard people
talking about Los Angeles I'D the re-
markabIe growth this city is enjoying.
MY observations lead me to believe
that the immigration to Southern Cali
fornia and Los Angeles during the COM
ing winter will far exceed that of last
winter, which Was the record season in
point of newcomers for this section of
the country.
II return more optimistic than ever
as regards the future of Los Angeles
and the entire southern section of Cali
fornia."
