A base ball club composed of tho cniiloycB of tho Union Moat company played a game with tho Apostles nt the local grounds on tho 2Cth Instant. The butchers havo a fine aggregation of ball tossors and camo herd with a record of 15 game won out of 18 played this soaBon, and (heir record, by tho way, lost nono of Its lustro by coming In contact with our boys. Tho gamo was a good 0110 throughout and St. Johns lost only through tho mlserablo work of tho umplro during tho first half of the camo and an ovor throw by Shaffer to first on abnllthat should havo mado an easy out. The moat choppers had a pitcher in their outfit that was ono of tho finest that tho Apostles had to buck against this year. Ho fannod 14 of tli'- local lads out and allowed only six hits. At ono stogo of tho gamo it looked as If St. Johns was going to pull through in good shape, Tho bases boramo filled with no ono out Inn the 'greasy" pitcher pulled him fi'.f out of tho hole in great stylo ty ttrlklng out tho nozt two batsmen and retiring tho noxt on a measly llttl'i grounder to short.

Nor will the end bo reached until the women aro driven fiom the saloons or tho saloons are driven from the city. It is not an i nreasonable thing that the decent people of Portland demand. It is not a irfoim to which any saloon man or liquor man In the city, who has a spark of manhood In bis makeup, will object. It is even amusing that the BuX subservient councilman would cure lo go on record as declaring for tfiffic la vice and crime for the morn swelling of cash receipts aud euBuucement of the ledger account. Tbe reputation gained by such a reo o:d has tbe dual disadvantage of being both Ignoble and ephemeral. For tbe cause of tbe liquor man in promotion of vlco will lose it is oound to lose, And tbe councilman who stayed with It will go down with tho VTeck, In tho athletic sports across tho water, tho Americans aro giving good could bo collected whero damage was ' n.'ioiuit of themselves, and nro wlu-; shown tho samo as In any other caso r.iug rot only many points In tho ; J and that a license given by the city context, but aro also winning tho ?

There nro too many Idlo boys In Portland too many boys who havo nothing to occupy thom, and, through (beer Idleness, aro apt to go wrong, thn becoming a sourco of grief td the Jr parents and public charges on the community. In theso long vu vacations tho question of what to do will, tho boys is a most serious one. At the- Inception they nro not to blamu It Is simply a case of mis directed energy which, with tho op rortunlty prosentod, might havo boon turnod in a good channel as well as 11 11 bad. Hut glvon an Idlo boy, lth rapidly developing vitality, his bruin 1 aturally not keoplng pace with hit Musical development, thus bring ing about a lack of balance In him take tho boy with a boy's uncer tain longing and desires a sonso of lirltution against his homo surround ings promoted by the beat and his own Idleness, and his energies must find expression In somo unpleasant expression. It is well worth the whllo of overy futlier who has a son to tako bis stand some evonlng for an hour or two In tbe street car loop district and watch tbe boys going out and toming in from the various resorts Htmii the city. Ho will thon soon realize what a problem himself may haw beforo him. To see boys of 13 per haps younger, up to 20 or older, with their childish assumption of blase airs, rolling cigarettes and swal lowing tho smoko, to hear the lan- gvsgo they use and tho subjects el'rut which tbey talk, is quite likely to Plat tie ono. Incidentally tho of- flur of the Juvenile court may there find not only matter for study but for official attention. Oi.r schools lack, hut most nota bly do most parunts lack In Inculcat ing thu doctrlno ofthu dignity of l.onest work, no matter what It Is, There is bolng brod up hero entirely t'o many llttlo snobs, who havo no reuliution that thoy uro living In n u-pulliu whero class distinctions aro not M cognized and will bo recog nized Inflnltoly less as tlmo goes oil, They uro brought up In Idleness; they aro almost entirely freo from ii-stialnt.aud they aro glvontoo much money to spend, When thoy go wrong, who Is to blumu? It Is thu patent, and not tho boy, Tho doc tr.no of work and thu dignity of a b'ij- fchould preached In tho schools an id tho homes, it Ih tho doc trine that wins. That brings success anil that Insures content and happl M'M, Everybody concerned should rflvo tho matter a little moro atten .i.iii Things aro not in as good way In this respect as they ought to be in Portland. While wo aro talk ing about civic Improvomontaud grow ing 'n pride becauso thoro is some thing of It being done, let us merit a llttlo pralso for raising tho stand ards and cultivating tho ideals of tl.o young Americans who aro coming up mid who will soon help to raise the standards and creato tho Ideals of tho future Americans, whom wo all htpo will bo very much better In vu than their parents and grand parents.
