CITY OFFICIAL THE TREND OF THE TIMES in religious lines is shown by the declaration that Rev. W. T. Milliken will coach the basketball teams of the First Baptist church. For marly years in college and elsewhere, he has learned the game from start to finish. Now, he proposes to use that knowledge for the benefit of the boys of his church. Religious leaders all over the country are rapidly adopting this policy. They believe that the boy who is trained by religious men in those sports that utilize his surplus energies will retain the religious lessons that are taught to him in the church and other organizations. Teach the boy religious baseball and football and he will remember the other lessons that he learns inside of the church building. Some years ago, it would not have been in accordance with the old idea of ministerial dignity for a pastor to get out on the sidelines and coach his teams and the pastor who took off his long black coat and got down to the real vital, palpitating issues that confront every boy would be looked down upon by those with whom he was associated. But these times are wonderfully changed. The minister now who has life and vim enough in his make up to get into the swim with his boys and teach them things that interest them and hold their attention outside of his church wins in the race for religious victories. He gains the respect and admiration of the boy." In the first place, the boy admires any man who can play ball or who can kick a goal, or who can do any of the other things that the boy wants to do himself. If that minister takes off his coat and rolls up his sleeves and i u: m r i t ...V..-..L. i t i i L1UUW! llilll&Cll 1I1LU LUC &LIULL Ul LUC tllllCS Ui W111U1 LUC uuy 15 1UUU, UC gitUIS the control over that boy in other lines besides sports and keeps his religious attention fixed upon the principles of the church. For that reason, the churches of this city and of others have organized ball teams and have gone in for legitimate sports with a vim. They have abandoned the idea that the boy who is not a religious fanatic is a sinner and believe that they can best train him in the ways of that re Jigion by getting a firm hold on the heart of the boy as nature made hint. Young Men's Christian Associaitions of the country has been an influential factor in the regeneration of the zeal of the churches. They have shown just what the boy, in his natural state, loves. They know the boy, his ambitions, his desires, his tastes. They believe that by the control of the sports that he plays, by the elevation of the games that he loves, by the satisfaction of his desires and ambitions in the proper and legitimate ways they can best serve the interests of religion and get the firmer hold on the nature of that boy for the direction into the correct and proper channels of success. Most boys are not naturally religious. They have too much of the ani mal nature left in them. They want to exercise that surplus energy that na ture gave them and they will use that energy in spite of all of the religious training that the churches can instill into them. It is by the proper direc tion of those energies that the churches can hope to gain a control over the heart of the boy. To ignore his natural instincts, his cravings, his animal States Are Best Equipped to Deal With -Public Moralitu By HERBERT S. GERNERT of New York, Member of the International Purity Congress T1UBLIC IMMORALITY IS A PRORLFM WITU uuiru -rue ctitco . - - - MUST DEAL. The federal ffovernment is is seriously handicapped by the limitations of the constitution, the large territory to be covered and the extent to which the evil has grown. THE STATE POLICE POWERS ARP UNI IMITPn WHII P TUP OUTLAY BY EACH TO CONTROL SMALL; .Public morality is not unlike public health, public business or public safety in the institution which must control it. In our plan of govern ment this duty devolves upon the various states, and today we have our departments of health, our state commissioners of railroads and of insur ance and our boards of public safety. But not so with public morality. We have LEFT THIS FIELD PRACTICALLY UNTOUCHED, and yet it is by far the most impor tant. In many of the states the laws on morality are very lax. It is often difficult and sometimes quite impossible to have some of them enforced, and yet no one pays much attention to this absurd state of affairs. A COMMISSION OF MORALS SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED IN EACH STATE whose duty it would be to take cognizance of the morals of the people, to aid in the enforcement of all laws directed -against, vice and to work or the best conditions in factories, scbAls. dance halls.

The churches that have adopted this policy4iave found that it pays. The boys get interested in the sports and games that the churches promote and naturally fall into the other lines of the activities of the organizations. It is the vital spot in the makeup of the boy, the one place that he can be reached. The awakening of the church has come through the discovery of this weak point and the utilization of that knowledge for the benefit of the boy and the church. ' O COMMON CARRIERS have to pay taxes, a per centage on their gross earnings, a license fee and other charges to maintain the city or state government but a new service has been established between Oregon City and Portland which has to pay nothing but the assessments on its five-ton trucks. These trucks make their runs between the two points several times daily and cut deeper into the highways than other automobile or wagon of the farmers. They probably do more damage than any other ronveyance that travels on the county thoroughfares and yet they contribute but little toward the upkeep of the roads or to the expenses of government. The railroad companies that propose to haul freight to and from Port land pay high charges to the city for the franchises that are given. They are required to make street improvements, to pay on their gross earnings, to (sprinkle the streets in the summer months, and to do various other things that will contribute toward the betterment of conditons here. Yet the auto service is a common carrier for it handles freight in competition with other lines and has thus far managed to make the venture a success. Perhaps the greatest injury to the county road is the constant wear and tear that a heavily loaded truck can give it but the county gets no remuneration for the damage. Some steps ought to be taken to get remuneration either for the city or for the county out of this matter. The line asked for no franchise. One day it determined upon the service and the next it was started. No franchise, no tax, no grant from any of the authorities was needed. It simply went to work. For that, the city should either require the company to have a fran chise so as to give it a control over the freight rates and other business that it handles or it should demand a per centage on the earnings of the company. The county ought to take a stand in the money that is expected back- in the Energy creates; "economy preserves; combined they bring success.
