THE IMPURITY OF PURITY.

The so-called Purity League of
Portland has dragged more impurity
and pruriency through the homes of
Oregon than all the impurity ever ex-
listing in the state.
They have filed the newspapers with
the alleged i%mproppieties of the Port
land school children, ami attracted
the prurient curiosity of all the young
people and school children of the
state to the matter.
What is gained by hanging upon
the housetops of all the impurities
that may or may not exist?
If a family had occasion to rebuke
n of It's members for impurity of
life, would they air the matter in
the neighborhood?
If a neighborhood has a case of
licentious conduct to deal with is
not that neighborhood AMI the com.
munity better Off to keep it out of the
newspapers?
What benefit is it to the world to
know that Rev. Brougher, or Rougher

tied sermon on the political situation
in Oregon.
1T is worth a lot Of good hard con-
sideration among all classes and par.
ties, as there are truths contained in
its homely arrangement of the doml-
mating party in Oregon, which are
vital to the future of the state.
"If such arrangement will drive the
Republicans to remedy the wrongs re-
cited in this editorial, then there is
no need for further agitation. But
If the legislature refuses to heed
such calls from the people, then there
is a need for a political landslide
which will bury forever in Oregon
the party which recognizes the exist
ence of the evils named but which
refuses to right them in the inter.

ought to be a chance to conduct a

ture in the interest of the common

FOE A CITY Az

The Journal cannot agree with the
Statesman on some of its political
movements, but on whatever is for the
progress of Salem we heartily second
all it's work.
Its fight for a CITY library meets
with u hearty approval and this pa.
per believes that this city should not
only erect a library building. but put
in and maintain one of the best Ii.
brarles in the state.
The state library now Is for the L..

AS OREGON DOES.
The state library should be put in
a hreproof building at least a block
from the state house, and the city
should help maintain a library there.
OF course. the city can build and
maintain distinctively a city library
for the people of this city. But a city
and state library combined would be
a grand combination.

Gradually Pulled Up Even with

First.
MAY PLAY TEN GAMES

After Friday nights Indianapolis League
games the Marion bowling club was re-
turned the winner of the indianapolis Bowl
ing League for the sixth consecutive time.
The fruits of victory in this case were
sweeter, as the battle for the leadership
this season was one of the hardest fought
in local bowling annals.
Not long ago the Marion team was many
points behind the Turner'S in the race. BY
a magnificent uphill fight, the ciubmen not
only tied their opponents. but passed them.
and. as a result won the trophy. This club
is COMPOSED of ten of the swiftest bowlers
in the city, and at no time has 1t been
lower than one-two-three in the race.
1t was said yesterday that the Turner and
Marion clubs would roll series OF ten
games for the championship of the city.
The Turner'S do not acknowledge them
selves beaten. and should the two clubs come
together some of the best scores ever made

RIDERS MUST NOT HAVE
FATHERS AS MANAGERS
Racing Authorities Action Means
that Jockeys Will Generally
Suffer.
OPINION OF HORSEMEN

WASHINGTON. April 9. : Eastern
racing officials and horsemen in general
weren't much surprised when they heard
of the recent edict of the Los Angeles rae
ing authorities ruling Jockey Arthur Red
fern and his father-who had been acting
the boys manager-of the turf" said
noted trainer of a stable at Bennings. The
boy was only on the ground for few days
before being restored to standing, but it
is hardly likely that his dad-manager will
get back TO the paddock and the scales
room for some time TO come The Eastern
turf authorities found the elder Redfern
a pretty hot and quarrelsome proposition to
handle, and they had TO warn him several
times to withdraw himself little more out
of the limelight and be good. Nothing of
a crooked nature was ever charged against
him against his son, who is a most ac-
complished horseman. 1t was merely the
fathers peevish solieitude for the success
of his son that kept the pair of them in
more or less constant trouble with the turf
authorities. A riding boy who has for a
manager a father who is himself horse
man is pretty liable to get the worst of the
break while that business relationship
lasts The boys dad is bound to regard his
son as the greatest straddlcr of pigskin
that ever pulled on boot, and when the
old man works himself into this state of
he generally conceives ferocious dislike
and jealousy of all the rest of the jockeys
in training.
IF the boy is in such demand as to en-
able his manager to have the pick of
mounts the dad-manager develops into a
veritable autocrat of the paddock, and rub
bers around the barns morning, noon and
night trying to pick out the horses that
have the SWEETEST chances to win so as to
get them for his youngster to ride and
thereby fatten his winning average. In
his ca gerness to light upon the winners
the old man will often half promise the
owners of two or three horses engaged in
one race that his boy will do the riding
and this sort of thing makes all sorts Of
trouble. 1t was what caused the Redferns
to be ruled off at Los Angeles. The elder
Redeem had engaged his boy to ride a
horse named Laureate, but when the sad
ding hour arrived he repudiated the agree
ride another horse. The owner of Laureate
protested. appealed to the stewards. proved
his case and the jockey and his dad got
the gate.
This question OF the management of
Jockeys by their parents will. L predict

high turf authorities of the East. l happen
to know that some time ago Ii was under
consideration to frame up a rule prohibit
ing the fathers of jockeys TO act as the

William McShane Haines, recently elected
to the presidency of what was last season
the Druggists Baseball League, is thor
ough baseball man and is conversant with
the arduous duties Of one who holds the
presidency of an amateur baseball league.
Mr.. HaineS has been manager OF the
Daniel Stewart team for four seasons and
before that time was manager of independ-
ent teams. Mr.. Haines was also the man
ager of the Tish-i-Mingo polo team, which
was a member of the Commercial Polo
League during the season just closed.
No name has as yet been settled for the
organizat ton this year. n meeting was held
last week in the Commercial Club rooms
and the name Independent Commercial
League was offered, but was not decided
upon, as the leagues officials feared that
this name would conflict with the CONNER
cial League. A second meeting will be held
tomorrow night, when each team manager
will present a schedule to be acted upon.
President Haines will soon appoint COM
petent umpires to offcate in the league at
its Saturday afternoon games. Scorers

will be the keeping of the box scores of all
games played. President Haines announces
that tomorrow nights meeting will be
called promptly at s o'clock and requests
that all team managers and captains be
present.
