The Copperhead V M wmmmmx mm . u" mwrnm is ! Too Hasty a Penalty i SALEM and Willamette university, for twelve years spon . sors and hosts for the state athletic association's bas ketball tournament will; he unfairly penalized should that tournament now be moved to Portland as a result of pre cipitate action Friday night by an unorganized, unresponsi ble group of Salem high students. The state board must not forget that the idea of a state tournament started here in Salem when in 1917 Coach R. L. fiatthews of Willamette university, staged a valley tourna ment which later developed into statewide proportions. These 12 years were times in pioneering; the first tourna ments did not draw the crowds or prove the financial success of those of recent years. A debt of gratitude is owed this community which would be ill-paid by hurried removal of the tournament. . -. Yet state tournament officials have due cause for cer tain indignation that Salem high school be so unsportsman like in its defeat Friday. We would call attention, however, to the fact that the "riot" was not an organized affair rep resenting the student body but rather a flare-up which accompanies youthful chagrin at a defeat hard to bear. More- i!1 over, there may have Deen cause, ueiure m " es were decided upon for Salem high to maKe proiesi. xne team had twice defeated Chemawa, and Chemawa had twice defeated Oregon City. The point, though, that the play-off tournament, once agreed upon, should have been carried through and its re- rn h rra.fnllv adhered to. is without argu- ment. Students of Salem high erred and their poor sports manship is not to be condoflea. m. uc iVinr Timxr ia fnr Salem hicrh school, officially, to make due apology to tournament officials for the ungen- tlemanly acts oi rnaay dikuu uu men w-,-c-by appearing en masse at the games this week, rooting for Chemawa. If this is done the precipitate action of Friday can be forgiven and forgotten. Philosophically viewed, Salem's elimination may work for the best interests of the state athletic association. Be cause of its size and strength Salem high has been a contin uous winner and a superiority complex has resulted. Now that this mental bubble has been burst, some of the self-satisfaction of the local team wiU wane. But our primary contention is that the city and Willam ette university should not be penalized for this outburst. The tournament, begun and developed in the heart of this valley, centrally located, with splendid facihties for tourna ment play, and a beautiful city to play host, should remam in Salem. State officials, we trust, wiU agree with this view when the flurry of last week has subsided. The President Changes Beds .. it..! Ty : A LIVE news note from the White nouse says mavricsi- A dent Hoover, after trymg lor a nigm or two w Ket sleep on the regular White House bed, gave up in despair and had his own oea Drougnt uuwu aiih r street. Tne question might be raised whether the presi dent's restlessness was due to the cares of his office or to the hardness of his bed. Perhaps, like the rest of us, he simply preferred the bumps of his own mattress, to which his body had grown accustomed, to the softness of the couch which the nation provides for its executive. "Uneasy rests the head that wears the crown." And the president, more powerful than most any monarch may indeed have worries that follow him when he reclines to sleep. How to distribute the jobs to all the original Hoover men. How to satisfy the anti-saloon league, the labor unions, the grange, the protective league, party committees, the senate, Mexico, Russia well how much sleep would you get Now the secret is out why Coolidge preferred to go back to Northampton.

Our presidents do not do like Kaiser Wilhehn I who throughout his reign slept in his palace on a soldier s cot. They are not military men inured to hardships of camp and march. We do not blame Hoover for ordering his private bed. If there is anything a president needs it is restful sleep. We hope gets it if he has to go back to the old bedroom, too. -- Oregon s Railroad Development THIS decade is proving one of the most active in the his tory of the state so far as railroad progress goes. It is not so active of course as in the 80's when main line con struction was being pushed. But the present period is marked with a revival of construction which was completely suspended with the outbreak of the war. The news of the week is especially stimulating. The transcontinental lines have agreed one by one to reduce the running time of trains between coast points and Chicago by some five hours. This is a great victory. Only a few weeks ago the assembled railway executives pronounced it utterly impossible all but one. President Biidd of the Great North f,A fc n1d da it: then the others fell into line.

For a same special purpose there may be varying laws in the different brancnes or tne govern ment service. The purpose of my bill Is to se mm n niformltv as to all depart ments of the government estab lish ment fn the making of con tracts. That would ensure a more definite aafee-nardtne of the inter sta of the rovernment by using the common, well-known stand ards. It would make it much easier for indivldaals to do bus! ness. because they will become more familiar with the govern ment requirements. It would sim plify the work of the comptroller general in construing contracts.

The prisons of the United 8tates. for bota short and long term Inmates, are largely breeding places ior more nrtanitara and neroetrators of greater crimes. This involves the greatest ques tion Wore the American people. Soma ont has recently estimated that our crime bui is tea buiion dollars a year, and.it is mounting proportionately faster than any other major charge against the tax funds of our people: making up stupendous totals that are lost "without a trace after being checked out. a -. Worse than all this, this great charge represents heart breaks more terrible than those caused by the grim reaper of death. The Innocent suffer nor than the For everr trace of tears shed by men and women behind the pris on bars, there is a shower of salty outpouring by tneir innocent vic tlma and their relative! and friends on the outside. The inno cent suffer with the gdilty, and suffer more grievously. m Crime commissions and their sub-committees meet and receive reports and make conclusions, but the reforms they start are few and of little moment. This is a field worthr of bur hfrheat statesman ship in handling, and of concrete acta In the war of riehtinftr wrencs rather than the mere wringing of Hands over tne terrible conaitions found and reported upon. Mere vindictive Banishment is as f ntile and ont dated as the duel m the feud or the aettlne anart Of cities of refuge. It is a relic of the barbaric past when humanity was emerxinr from the status of tho care man with the club andthe stones of execution, and the rack and the cross and all the rest, oi the methods and Instruments of torture. Is . V .- i Cfrniaaiton owes to itaelf the duty to put behind it all the meth ods and philosophies or tne care dwelling past; with "aa eye for aa eye and a tooth for a tooth." V But it Is a long road. Vengeance is slow to giro way to reason and mercy; Fortunatey, Oregon is on the right road, leading to reform atory treatment instead ot vindic tive punishment; according to the wise dreams ot the men who la their constitutional convention in Salem wrote into the fundamental law of the state the declaration In favor of the higher and better way. - V : . : "And Oregon is fortunately sit uated, with developing industries that do not Interfere with "free la bor which is the rreat bugbear ot prison reformers is most other Editors Say: THE DEBATE It was an interesting debate held at the Majestic Thursday night when Judge Ben Lmdsey and Dr. Norman Tully clashed on the marriage question. In fact, there wasn t mucn ciasn ior mere isn't much difference between the two when you can get each of them -to ' concrete definitions. Judge Llndsey paid Dr. Tully a men comnliment alter tne debate. As it was not in Dr. Tully's pres ence, we win repeat it nere. ie said he was one of the few min isters with whom he has debated and he has debated hundreds of them, who did not rely on sob stuff, a tremolo ston. the 'Bible and a lot of ecclesiastical hokum to win his audience. Dr. Tully re lied on reason: anoke disoasison ately and endeavored by argument to answer the propositions laid down by the distinguished Jurist and world's leading authority on domestic relations. And while we are paving our respects to Dr. Tully, we wish to aav that we aonreciated tne attl tude of local ministers and otners usuallr concerned over matters of this kind.

The three bir events ot the week: The Inauguration; the spring fashion " opening; and the return from Salem ot General Joseph Singer and Colonel C. C. rhnnman.

His funeral was attended by two form er governors ot Oregon ana oy a rood manr Caucasians. Tou see Toy Que was not only an unusual" Chinaman , but an unusual person for any nationality. He had a hab it of aeatterinsr verbal sunshine with his flowers. He was a friendly soui witn a memory ior xaces ana hie tneenuona amlle and cheerful words went to the heart of many a first time customer ana maae him a regular patron.

Never .theless he lived under that precept follower thouzh he was not of the one who uttered It and follower though ho was of Confucius or Lao Tse or Buddha possibly of all of them. Toy Que, himself poor, gave to those who were poorer not a part but practically ail of what he rathered aa he went. He earned a good deal of money from time to time. Out of it he fed himself mea gerly, clothed himself in nonde aerint rarmenta and regularly scat tered the rest in cnarity tnrougn the years. So long and consistently did Toy Que pursue his plan that each succeeding year's end found him in possession ot exactly what he had begun it with and that was nothing at all.

When she went back tn the restaurant for her dinner she asked George to wait a bit with her after dinner. He came to her desk and sat down on one of the stools when the rush was over. Betty again .had occasion to smile at the spite ful way In which the head wait ress slammed the door as she went out. George did not seem to notice it. however, so Betty said nothing. She eznlalned conditions in the Insurance office and asked George his advice about staying. "I don't believe I would stay. he said, after weighing the mat ter. "I can see their reasons for arraneinsr their work in that way. but it eliminates all possibility of any stenographer making a name for herself or getting any promo tions. . Report for duty in the morning and explain your reas ons for not staying." His advice was in line with Bet ty's own feelings, so she followed it. The efficient Miss Atkins told her she was sorry. Her work of the day before had been satisfac tory. Finding Betty's mind was made up, she told her to come back on the first dav of the month and get her one day's pay. Betty was again part of the vast armv of unemployed, and so much discouraged that she did not try any more that day. She was again undecided if it was worth while to eo on. She was inclined to go back to the restaurant, take up her position as cashier, and await the Inevitable. As she strolled down the street. however, she met Jimmy Smith, her late employer.

"I wtah I could sae you now and then," he sighed, "but. of course. can't. PeoDle misunderstand so easily. It seems impossible for a married man to have even a per fectly innocent friendship with a girl. I sure do miss you in the of fice, Betty." "Not half as much as I miss the office, Jimmy."

No matter how desperate your straits, don't do that!" They laughed, and at her sug gestion he left the place alone, lest they meet his wife and get him Into more trouble.
