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

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

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.

impulses is to ignore the very-essence of the boy's life and to fail completely in
the attempt to direct him into channels above those in which he naturally
falls. - . - .
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
