tunity enlist the enlightened and
progressive Christian people of the
state in your interests, you may lose
the large expenditure of money in your
midst which this institution will bring
to you. You will lose chance of
greatly enhancing property values in
yur city and its vicinity; you will lose
what will bring additions to our prec
ent population by reason of the neces-
sary attendants of the institution, and
of families coming whose unfortunate
friends are part of its inmates.
Let us then all get busy, and forget
differences, jealousies and anomosi-
ties, if any there be in our midst, and
one and all join to assist in making
this conference notable. in the annals
of our state, as the most successful in
the initiation and forwarding OF up
lifting mvements in charities and cor
rections and show, so far as in us lies,
the cordial hospitality of our city and
county towards the rest of the state.

which all the churches of the city were
represented, either by pastors or men,

have promised their united assistance
to the Commercial Club in the matter.
Should you. be appointed on one of
the committees, do not fail to attend
its meetings, and give up some of
your time in forwarding the particular
duties Of your committee by promptly
taking part in its work assigned 70
you.
If you are not on any committee,
do not consider yourself neglected, but
do your best to take some of the re-
sponsibility by helping in any way you
are called upon.
1t is expected that Craig county and
Vinita will furnish four hundred men,
bers who pay the annual dues of two
dollars. This membership fund should
be Immediately available, as it is used
for the purpose of the expenses of the
state conference, and you can call on
w. H. Deck, secretary of the CONNER
cial Club, to make your application
and payment for membership, or, re-
nit to him or any member of the
membership committee as announced
by Mr.. Wilson. Mr. Charles Collins is
treasurer of this fund.
Let us all get behind the movement
and respond promptly upon every call
of President Wilson for service.

CHINESE kids" GOOD.
Records of Juvenile Court Show Them
to Be Best Behaved.

Portland. Ore, March 15.-Score one
for the heather Chinee. His children
are the best behaved in America. At
least this is shown by the records of
the Juvenile court of this city. Ameri-
can kids are holy terrors compared
to the mild hammered young Celestial
and it is a rare occurrence when one
of the latter is brought to book:
OF all the races with which the
juvenile court has to deal, the young
Chinese show the least deviltry. This
is true despite the fact that the
Chinese live in the most closely con-
gested sections of the city, where
court reports show that the congested
districts do not furnish SO many cases
for correction as more thinly popu-
lated parts of the city.
Chief Probation officer Teuscher
accounts for the good behavior of the
Chinese children because parental re-
straint is more common in Chinese
families than with Americans and
other races. He says it would be a
good thing if many Americans learned
a lesson from the Chinese in this re-
gard and allowed their children less
this would greatly reduce the work of
the juvenile court
South Portland which has a large
foreign population, contributes gen.
erOuS share or cases TO the court, out
Young America must bear the odium
of a large number of arrests. The
Chinese, however, come off with fly
ing colorS, the black marks against the
race being very few.
AS a matter of fact children shown
in the picture and most of the other
Chinese of the city are Americans
having been born in this county, and
are accordingly entitled to all the
rights of citizens as soon as they
reach legal age. Chinese parents are
very proud of their children and take
great care in their training and edu-
cation.
