Stanley Mook jof Bremerton. The governor then made a short speech and excused himeelf from the conference on the ground that he had pressing busl- ness elsewhere. Room 409 of the county-city build- ing was well filled by men and wom- en prominent in public life thruout the state. The governor said: “Studious observation for many months convinces me that the so- called dope habit is making rapid growth, with an alarnting increase in the number of addicts, and, as chief executive, being to some extent responsible for the enforcement of jaw ayd order, bound to safeguard in levery ible way "the moral, physi- cal and mental well being of the people, my interest in this matter jtranscends any mere personal feel-| jing and rests primarily on the desire | of a public official to protect society |from the deadly effects of a growing vice which debauches the victim, body and soul, undermines the moral fiber and destroys economic effi- ciency. “FOR THIS REASON T CAL 1D CONFERENCE” For this reason I have called this conference of public officials, whose duties bring them in personal con-| tact with those most directly respon- sible for the growth of the opium jhabit, namely, the dope-peddilers, in the hope that, vy co-operation and the co-ordinating of all prosecuting jagencies, perhaps aided by an aroused public sentiment, something might be one to lessen the evil. “This is the sole object for which you are called together. “In issuing the call for this con- |ference I did not expect to avoid critl- jcism and antagonism from the opium |ring thru those whom they might jinfluence thru politics, personal ani- mosities and otherwise, | "I this I have not been disappoint- jed. But good people in general, ton- ed to all the weaknesses of human kind, yet living honest, decent, moral lives, ignorant of the growth of this evil and unconscious of its proximity, enjoying @ false security, reluctantly believe it necessary to discuss this | question at all. “But the prosecuting officers of our cities and towns, the police, the civil! authorities, national and state and} local, and the associations and agencies for the promotion of public morality know only too well that the | forming drugs has gone beyond all question of doubt, and has become an | ascertained fact, on the basis of which we must seek the means of protecting our people against this in- sidious vice.” The governor concluded with the statement, “The meeting is now iy your hands,” and left the conference.

Revelle took charge of the meeting and made the following brief (Turn ‘to Page 7, Column 2) ‘boegune 6 the ope tbe itary service bec MAY BREAK STREETCAR AGREEMENT Council to Follow Witt’s Ad- vice and Seek New Arrangement Municipal street railway bond- holders are to be asked by the city council for permission to break the city’s contract for pur- chase of the street car system.
