that Vernon Clark has almost been
raised in the sheriff's office, as he as

The Mayors message was received
In silence, and when he had done, no
comment was offered, but evidently
it received due consideration, for hard
ly had the regular business Of the ses-
sion been finished when the matter
was taken up once more.
Councilman Kaboth was the first to
speak, He declared that In his op:n-
ion the matter was purely one that
concerned the members OF the police
commission. Councilman Leinenweber
spoke next, saying that he supposed
the Mayor had brought the matter UP
at this time because Of the fact that
1t was now possible to prevent the
dance hall places from securing a IL
cense, while as a matter Of fact, the
committee on health and police could
not refuse a license unless the house
had been convicted under the law Of
a misdemeanor. He did not believe
the matter concerned the council until
the mayor had suspended the Chief
Of Police for not obeying his orders
Councilman Logan spoke to the same
effect Councilman Belland then arose
and in terms tnat left no doubt as to
his meaning said that the duty was
one that concerned the city officials
alone and that dereIiction on their
part was not the fault Of the council.
His terms were so vigorous as to cause
the mayor to call him to order.
When the discussion had been finish
ed the Mayor rose and called to Chief
Of Police Gammel, who WAS in the rear
of the room.
Mr.. Gammel," he said, u hereby in
struct you to close the dance halls in
the city of Astoria, The Chief of
Police requested that the command be I
put in writing and this was done. A +
good deal Of routine business was
transacted in the council meeting.
Among the new matters before the
body was the granting Of the City
Physician six days leave Of absence

Message.
ON THE DANCE HALL EVILS
Chef Gammal Ordered to Close tho
PIaees--WilI Confer With Police
Commission First--Bis Lot Of Routine
Affairs.

The feature Of last nights session oi
the Astoria Common Council was the
following message from Mayor Her.
man Wise, which speaks for itself In
the most uncompromising terms, on
the vital question of dance halls and
dance-hali evils in this city:
ASTORIA. Ore. March is. 1907.
Gentlemen Of the Common Council
Of the City, of Astoria,
For more than a year the regula-
tion and restriction OF the social evils
OF our city has been like a nightmare
to me. Before the stern responsible
ties Of my Office confronted my con-
science was one Of that innumerable
army of sidewalk statesmen. who
solve the secrets Of diplomacy, the
questions Of strategy. as well as the
intricacies of finance with the same
ease as sidewalk firemen criticise the
nozzle boys In front OF tumbling walls.
The dance hall supporters were
so persistent and the settlement of the
question SO difficult that l nesitated
long, but happenings Of the last few
months have removed the veil My
eyes behold the dance-h han spectre in
all its nakedness. 1t is awful, And
fully realizing my responsibility / am
determined 10 wash my hands and
soul clean. Some mothers girl still
in ner teens, is found dying in one of
these pitfalls. A coroner's jury fixes
the responsibility and justly puts part
of the blame upon the officers sworn
TO uphold the law. The police COM
missioners send communication 10
this honorable body asking for in
struction for the first time In their
Official career. Under date Of Jan.
% they say:
st Is an open question whether or
not wide-open town should be con-
tinusd against the ordinances of the
city and the laws OF the state of Ore
gon." The Council responds by calling
the commissioners atdention to the

city charter, In the meantime the
grand jury meets, and even while they
deliberate, the employees OF dance
hall are arrested for holding up I'M
unsophistlcated countryman, And
still. the dance halls are allowed to
operate. The coroner's jury, the grand
bury, the ministers OF the gospel, and
many OF the best men and women In
the city are asking, Is there not paw
er TO muxxle this monster who but
yesterday destroyed girl stranger in
our midstg shah II be an Astoria
girl nextg There are girls and boys
who are nesting In their mothers

this, the greatest Of all plagues--sli-
my merciless lust that grows fat upon
the souls OF the weak and unsuspcc-
ting. The vice that gnaws at the
foundation OF society and boldly de-
fies the servants OF the people,
IT is against my wish that | write
this message, but have told these
men personally. and also 10 their
agents whom they sent to me. that I
wanted the dance halls to close. Not
withstanding my friendly request they
continue to operate, And why? Be-
cause In Astoria the responsibility is
divided and the several divisions will
not cooperate In routing the enemy
of our children. II Is fact that men
cannot be made good by law. l rec
ognize the fact that man is but a
handful of clay streaked with passion.
I know that many delinQuencies must
be tolerated. | also know that the !
best brains OF the world have for ages |
tried 10 evolve plan which would 1
keep man In the straight and narrow
path. The best that society has been
able TO accomplish In nineteen centu-
ries was to put thin veneer to hide
the black spots upon our body polite.
but while certain vices must perforce
be tolerated and kept within reason
able bounds the dance-hall evil has
forfeited all claim to consideration
BY its open defiance to decency and
aw. The morphine pill and the hold
ip have nauseated the finer sensibili-
les OF the community and / for one
will no longer be a party TO this mis-
.rable compact.

ances are enforced. /

ancing while the grand jury was in q
