THE KID HALLOWEEN

Halloween used to be occasion with little dong eX
eept for the romantic girls who went down the cellar
stairs backward looking in mirror to see their future
husbands Of late years it has grown into very risky
kid frolic sometimes resulting in real mischief
The very tingng spirit of October seems to get into
the kid bones at this knky season. The more a man
shows annoyance, the more they poster him. II the
youngsters simply ring doorbels and rig tctacs is bet
ter to be calmly obvious But if you show 1T bothers
you or above all if you get out and pursue the fleeing
imps one can see your finish That is just what they
want and there will be rest for the wicked People
with young hearts do not mind few tricks. When 1t
comes down to ripping blinds off buildings or Juggling
off gates the humor Of the joke not fully apparent
In some places these kid pranks have gone far that
the citizens have gotten up public celebrations to interest
the boys and divert their attention. At Fort WORTH
Texas, the Fall Festival Association holds parades and
pageans with 1000 school children. At Allentown, Pa,
where similar celebration is held, the young folks rig
mp as ghosts and hobgobns and Charlie Chapins, and
there is general carnival without mischief.
Most communities haven't the energy for anything so
elaborate. The parents in any neghborhood where the
kids get too high avert much disturbance by giving
them Halloween party. The boy with his eye the ice
is not going to carry off many gates
Many gangs of boys start in celebrating Halloween in
the early fall it is too dark to play football
after supper and keep up for couple of months Some
times to the pontwhere of those celebrated
interviews in the woodshed becomes in order.

PROHIBITION NOT A FARCE

4 A friend writes to The Oregonian in apprehension
over the stability of prohibition He has seen intoxicated
women the street and he is annoyed in public places
by berry breahs He geves to the law prepared for
! ridicule at the next election.
1t may be that some of the manufacturers who have
SO successfully counereited beer have produced pro-
duct that counterfes the berry breath. Indeed it is
quite likely. But for all that everybody is that
there violations of the prohibition law. One hundred
and orynne persons have been arrested since last jan
uary on booteggng charges many others have been ar
rested for drunkenness Still do not join the brother
in his apprehension We expected the law be violated
Prohibition that prohibits does not in day. The
simple writing in the book of laws inhibition against
that which countless persons have long been accustomed
to do lawfully cannot be expected to work immediate
charm on fixed appetite or arouse high moral belief in
everyone that that act has been made wrong.
Portland and Oregon in that period of prohibition
which every community that has tried prohibition
has entered and has not yet passed beyond We have
abshed law which approximately onehaf of the peo-
pie of the largest community of the state did not want
We can elect to office the most vigorous prosecutors and
the stemest judges yet of the laws defers are
bound to escape through their ingenuity the leni
ency OF uies or the occasional and unavoidable indfer
ence of officers whose duty it is to detect and arrest
But the law, with all of its violations has accomplish
ed one great thing 1t has made impossible the saloon
with its standing invitation to youth enter and there
acquire an evil appetite that never be wholly lost
We have cut off at the root the growth of the thing that
now makes bootlegging profitable and possible
But as already said the writing of law will not at
once change the habits of men, So long there is de-
and Tor strong drink OlOng will the law be violated
Inc dispensing of drink may, like robbery and murder
forgery never pass out of existence And is not
such an alarming thing to contemplate that the full
strength of law and order which has been unable to
lcate worse crimes after centuries of effort cannot hope
at once wholly to prevent bootleggng.
AS this generation passes the incentive to the crime
Will DIMINISH We are making mighty few tipplers in Ore

withstand foolish rcule that arises out of defiances

the first lap of its race to renew the
worlds shipping supply before Ger
man submarines cut it to shreds fin

board girded its loins for the Sec
ond and last lap. Almost all of the
contracts for vessels have been let,
Chairman Edwin N. Hurley an
nounced. and the board will now
lend all Its energies toward getting
these contracts carried out properly.
Enough shipping has been contract
ed for. 1t is believed, to carry Am
erica and the allies through to VIC
tory. despite submarine ravages past
and present. Three definite propo-
sitions were specified:
l. The selection of a strong staff
Of shipbuilding experts to act as as
sistants to Admiral Caps.
2. The calling in of all lumber
men working directly and indirectly
on ship construction for Monday.
3. The calling Of all steel ship
builders on the Atlantic coast for
Wednesday.
The aim Of these three moves.
chairman Hurley made clear, is to
produce speed in turning out ships.
There is no possibility Of Admiral
Capps resigning, as was intimated in
some quarters. Chairman Hurley

snip building program by Lord
