DO PARENTS OPPOSE OPEN AIR RECESSES? THEY DO OTHERWISE IN NEW YORK. POLICE COMMISSIONER GREENE reports that he rejected with Indignation and scorn the overtures ' of an agent of a poolroom syndicate In New lorn who offered $300,000 to be allowed quietly to run from -June till January. He also had what some of us here In Portland would call the exceeding bad taste to try to have the agent of the pool-room Indicted in which effort, we are glad to report for the glory of the mayors gam bling syndicate in Portland, he miserably failed. It will be observed that the code of morals which pre 'valls In Portland's municipal life Is regarded as atrocious In New York, where we have never understood morality to be really epidemic. Here we revel, through the grace of our municipal officials, in a moralUy which Is com "merclally graded. .The poor devil who hasn't the price "and certain other persons who have the price but are .persona non grata with the administration or the gam bling syndicate, which is but another way of expressing the same idea, would quickly feel the strong arm of the law If they had the presumption to open gambling ee i 'tabllshments In Portland. But the members of the gam . bllng syndicate, wio are likewise effective workers In the political vineyard and heavy contributors to the cam paign funds, are given free foot to do practically as they please, provided only that a small percentage of what they earn Is turned over to the city twice a month. As one member of the city council frankly expresses It. we have streets to build and improve and the money which "we thus get from the gamblers comes in mighty handy for such work. In other places such overtures are rejected '"with acorn and Indignation." but under the happy regime of Mayor Williams we revel in a new code of morality which distinguishes us from all other American com - munltles and earns for us an Infamy which, Ood be praised, for the sake of the national character, is all our own. F THE SUPERINTENDENT of Park school Is right In his contention that the parents of Portland do not want their children to have open air recesses In rainy weather, and the superintendents are apparently In sny case Indisposed to grant them that privilege, then much time Is being wasted in discussing ways and means of provld ing the large sums that will be necessary to secure ade quate and well-equipped recreation grounds. If thee grounds will not or cannot be used, it would be a criminal waste of the public funds to spend the money necessary to buy and equip them. A thousand timet better it would be to Increase the appropriation so aa to raise the standard of the schools In some directions, to Introduce some features which are here' lacking, to add, for In stance, a manual training school or kindergartens which, having been warmly approved by the experience of other progressive Amerlrkn cities, might not be regarded as wholly valueless In this. But surely we have struck a new experience when It Is alleged that the young people of Portland fear rain and dampness, and their parents dare not permit, them to play out of doors in moist weather. If this were true then the children of Portland would be in hard case during the winter seasons when moisture is the distinguishing feature of the climate. But we are inclined to think there Is room for a reasonable difference of opinion even on this grave question, and that If the parents of Portland were opposed to open air recesses there would not be so many of them to take such lively personal interest In the dls cussion of the question which Is now In progress.

By all odds, tbls Is the richest, the POLITICAL BATTLES THAT END TODAY. "NEW LAND POLICY FOR HARR1MAN ROADS .. A DISCOVERY HAS BEEN MADE by the Har ' J- rlman roads which may have far-reaching con- TT. .v sequences In the West. It is simply Ihis, that these land grant roads can better afford to turn their lands over to actual settlers for nothing than they can sell them for good prices to the big syndicates. In other words they have soundly concluded that the time has corne to lay the foundation for future growth in the in termediate country along the lines, upon which the very Integrity of the roads must so largely depend. Three fourths of all the land originally granted to these '.roads by congress have already been disposed of. Practically all of it has fallen into the hands of syn dicates which use it for cattle or sheep-graring pur poses With the exception that it may be fenced and some hay raised along the bottoms It remains practically In Its virgin state. The population is added to very little and the amount of business which the railroads can draw from these sources, considering the amount of land in volved, Is altogether Insignificant. If all the land re-, maining were Immediately disposed of to anyone who wlahed to buy, the companies would be benefited to the extent of the purchase price, while at the same time the heavy 'drain of the taxes now borne by the railroads would be transferred from them to the new owners, i Superficially speaking this looks tempting enough but, f having made such enormous outlays for improvements j and betterments, involving over $110,000,000, very much of which was done solely with an eye to the future, the managers of the roads seem more disposed than ever to take a broad view of (he land situation. They real ize that if the lands still to be disposed of fall into the hands of large syndicates little or nothing will be contributed to the development of the country, and consequently to the business of the roads. The purpose, therefore. Is to evolve' a plan which will lead to an influx of actual Bettlers and to encourage their coming by of fering inducements at least tto the extent of practically free land. A plan similar In conception has worked admirably on the HIU roads. As a matter of fact the fatal defect In the policy of the old-time regimes of what are now known as the Har rlman roads was their ill -concealed design to exploit tlie country through which they bullt: rather than to stimulate business for the roads by aiding and encouraging the hardy men and women who settled along the various lines. If they had followed the liberal and Intelligent policy which time and experience has since so abundantly Justified, the Middle West would tell quite a different HILE THINGS HAVE BEEN politically tumul tuous In some other parts of the country, and there have been brass bands, shrieks of -ora tory, red automobiles, and din and clatter enough almost to wake the dead, Oregon, always wishful to be In the midst of such a scrimmage, has been forced to assume the attitude of a looker-on In Venice. Yet the situation has not been devoid of Interest, amusement or instruction. Indeed with cool blood and normal pulses we have been inclined to be surprised that other people should get so excited over such affairs, an tfcey doubtless will be with us, say next spring, when we get well started in one of our own campaigns. Interest In the country has centered In three campaigns. It may be said that Ohio has this year fairly divided the honors with New York City where success In the munic ipal campaign will have the broadest significance In the coming national campaign. It Is a ease of Tammany against Low with defections from both sides. Low him self, while personally a clean man, is not of a nature to excite any wild enthusiasm. During his term he has been bitterly criticised by some of the newspapers which now most ardently support him. His campaign was lit tie more than an academic idea before the picturesque Jerome injected himself Into It. It was he and not Low that aroused the first real enthusiasm for the ticket and who gave a pitch and tone to the campaign that really aroused public interest. Tammany undoubtedly Is mak lng the' fight of its life. The glamor of a name surrounds its young candidate McClellan who would make a pre sentable mayor but who so far has achieved little to dls tingulsh him from the mass of ambitious young men that the metropolis affords. In the earlier' days of the cam paign it looked as though Leader Murphy had completely outgeneraled his opponents and to the degree that the wind has been taken out of his satis all credit belongs to Jerome. We should not be surprised to see Tammany make an unexpectedly kirge showing In today's election. It Is a queer combination on both sides In Ohio. The stakes really played for are not those which are ap parently being played for. Hanna's real aim In this cam paign is to eliminate Johnson by utterly discrediting him In pursuance of that object nothing which he has learned in the national arena has been forgotten and all of It Is being applied on the smaller state field. At the same time everybody may take it for granted that one of the hardest men to kill who has ever appeared In public life Is Tom Johnson Who, unfortunately for his opponents, will not remain comfortably dead even when so pro nounced by competent authorities. In San Francisco the latest developments seem rather more favorable to Schmltx than to any of his opponents, though it is much safer to await the returns than to make predictions, even at this late date. n...

Costumes Worn by Mrs. Carter In "Ha Barry" of Bare Beauty. It is a fact that La Du Barry of real life was not more gorgeously dressed than is Mrs. Carter when she plays the role of the one-time favorite of Louis Quince In the Belasoo play. One of the most guttering spectacles of the play occurs in the third act. It represents a petit levee a morning re ception that Du Barry was In the habit of holding while she was in bed.

The latter reveal a huge bracelet of pearl strands, set with saw And the hissing plane are still; There's silence down In the darksome mine And silence up In the mill. The hammer and ax are cast aside. The shovel and pick repose; "Uncle" Mark Hanna Is more secure than ever In kls seat In the senate. All he wants to do Is to beat John R. Me. Lean, and, If possible, drive him out of the party by a demonstration of contln ' ued treachery to the regular ticket in the state. ; ? .. - . Johnson "will be cut by the McLean faction of the Democracy at every poll Ing booth in the state of Ohio where , that faotlon has any strength. On the other hand, the Johnson element, fully accepting defeat in advance, is laboring to present to the people a distinct Issue, which is the fact that if the oartv can. dldate could only secure the honest sup-" port of the McLean element he would stand at least gome cbsnce of being elected. , J It Is here In Cuyahoga county that practically the whole fight Is being made. ' Johnson hss carried Cleveland again and again for -himself for mayor, but hither, to this result has been accomplished largely because the Republican forces ' were not really united. - This year there hss been a union more or less complete between the Hanna men and the Mo Klsson faction of the Republicans. . It Is hoped In this way to carry the county as against Mayor Tom, and If this can be done it Is believed It will tend to de pose him from his Democratic leader ship. No one expects .Johnson to do any thing down around Cincinnati. The Me Lean element there is a strong one, and It will slaughter Johnson now Just as it has done in the past. Three years ago McXtnley only carried Hamilton eounty by 11. too majority.. and a year later Nash, the Republican candidate foraov -ernor, carried the big Cincinnati eounty by less than 6,000. Whereas last year, when Tom Johnson ran a whirlwind campaign, much similar to that being conducted at present, his candidate for secretary of state, a local preacher of Rnclallatln tendi nclea. failed to carrv Hamilton county by the remarkable bal ance of 17,000 votes. The great strength Of Tom Johnson lies In the fact that he Is a rubber ball. Again and again the Republican organ isation have tossed him in the air and thrown him against a brtok wall in the firm belief that he was done for, but Mayor Tom bounds back again after them, until at last the 'conviction has been borne in upon the Republicans that they cannot get rid of him until they bat him over the fence, which means that they must boat Mayor Tom lo Cleve land before they can drive him out of the rest of the state. . The present campaign Is a whirlwind of circus tents, red devils, calcium lights, trolley cars, special trains, bar becues and all the devices known to sen sational politics. All sorMMf issues are discussed, from the ship-subsidy bill to Mayor Tom's personal taxes, but after 11 it Is nothing more nor less than a fierce struggle to carry Cuyahoga coun ty, entirely as a preliminary to the next unlclpal campaign in Cleveland. Aalde from that. Colonel Herrick might well write his name governor today to wait until his Inauguration. The governor Is seriously disinclined, and naturally so, to call a special session of the legislature. The expense of Itself Is enough to give pause to tiny executive who must assume that grave responsibility. We believe, how ever, that the governor, when he reaches the executive offices from his Eastern trip and has had a chance to carefully look over the ground and fully weigh the needs will find himself In such a position that perforce he will be compelled to call an extra session. The present pre dicament furnishes another illustration bf.the oft-stated observation that legislation Is chiefly confined to repealing the work done by legislative bodies which have gone be fore. amethysts, clasped on one arm. while on And the sawdust settles In drifts of gold the other wrist is an oriental oraceiei When the whistle biows. of diamonds and pearls.
