BEMPSEY NOT
TO FIGHT UNTIL
SEPTEMBER NEXT
Loa Angeles, Ca!., March 14.
Whila several promoters here and
In the east were busily engaged In
brewing a bout in which Jack
Dcmpsey, ace of heavy weights,
would appear la defense of bis
title, the champion was quoted aa
saying hre today that he positive-!
ly will not engage in a champion,
hip bout before September at the
earliest.
Dempsey'i latest proposal for a
bout came yesterday from Tom
Kennedy, Loa Angeles matchmak
er, representing a group of isoa
Angeles business men who tele
graphed Jack Kearns, the cham
pion's manager, asking for terms
for a Dompsey-Kenault titular
bout to be staged here during the
Shine conclave In June, "Name
your terms," said Kennedy's mes
sage, "and we will go ahead im
mediately with erection of the
arena and promotion of bout."
"There's not a chance In the
world of my fighting Renault or
anybody else here fn June,"
Dempsey Is quoted as having said,
after he had finished a playful
fight find wrestling tussle with
Bull Montana at his gymnasium.
"I'm fat and I've got to take off
a lot of weight before I can begin
to butld up. June's out of the
question. It will take four or five
months to properly condition my
self. I would like to take on I
couple of second-raters to get the
range again; my eye la off and
my judgment of distance Is very
bad."

To the Kdi tor: During the

that something should be done by

up a bill and prLtenUd it to tht
borate, tills bill was known at thv
Lord's prayer hill, and it was nev
er reported out of the committee
to which It wua argued. Thi
time I felt led to have otliors in
dorse the hilt bctiidn myself, so 1
spent two d.tys culling upon Sa
lem us leading citizens and morv
than 70 EuhaL-ribed their uai.u.
iudorsiuir the bill. In fact only
five thai I called on refused to in-
dorsa the bill. The inemuire this
time was sv-nt to tbe federal rela
tion com m it I eo on February 3,
It wu,i reported bauk with

Tills bill was taken up by tho
ways nnd mtsiiis committee at t
lime when I w;w present and cull
ed upon to make a few remark In
Hiipport of tho bill. I remember
that I pictured a prodicul boy In
Home pool hall or at some card
tabic, as ha wns coming to him
self, after i.nendlnit hie last cent
and ! adked them If it wouldn't be
worth their while to place the
Lord's prayer wiicre these hoytt

that when a man, woman or girl
or boy most needs help is when
they aro down and out. and like
the pnuisal boy we read about,
they are In tho condition to say I

The way and inenns committee
reported !ack to tho senate that
llio bill do not pan, and there
after It was Indefinitely post
poned. I felt led to beliee I hat
this Lord'ti prayer bill xhould be
come law. that tho Lord's prayer
as taught by .leetis should he post
ed up Trom tho earth in oil placet
i rDiisineaa. or otlier places where
people rnn ere gat for labor, wor
ship or pleasure. I believe that
our rather who art In heaven
would have seen these prayers as
they were tacked up from the
earth, "and I, if I be lifted up from
the earth, will draw all men unto
me." John 12-32. 1 did
question the spirit which led me,
for I had no motive other than to
help every living person to call
upon (iod as our Fat Iter who art
in heaven, I was willing to and
did pay the price by putting forth
every effort possible to obey the
leading of this spirit, and I now
fuel that had th legislature put
their Btamp of approval to thi
bill, and thereafter tbe citizens oC
Oregon with one accord had help
ed to tack these Lord's prayer bill
up from the cart ft. that Cod would
have drawn all men unto him
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, be

I do not wish to criticise or to

To tb Editor: tttn, North Caro-j
Itnaf Recent dispatches state that1
the above named state hae through
Its recent liceetature pawed m reso
lution to have Darin tnlara taught
Its state supported schools. I'm
beginning- to about conclude that
our schools are hindered suffi
ciently already with use lew studies
nd to weight they down with the
hypothesis cf organic evolution
nown as Darwlnlnm Is Juat plac-
g a scientific tneory along aide
f the useful and practical work of
one educational Institution.
Now there is no reason why the
theories of Darwin and his school
should be taught at public ex
pense even tho they were true or
had a scientific basis. It is couid
proved that we came up from
he lower orders of life how could
hat benefit us? Am we went to the
zoological gardens on a neighbor-
call upon some ot our anthro-
old relative and made a close
inspection we might be I
(thit Is some of us might be) that
we had made no greater progress
toward advancement.
lfut when' we know that Dar
winian) Is far from being scienti
fic, why should the state go tj the
expense of teaching It as such. I
could fill a large apace of the Cap
tal Journal with the nanus of
voiuuotiiMs themselves who re
pudiate Darwinism. I will mention
few: llartn.un. Welsmann. Lunk

To the Editor. ru rour Onen
Forum col u in us ot Friday, Marc a
appears an article signed br Jav
Roderick DeSpaln of 789 Locust
avenue, Salon.
This artlcla on Its face nurnorta
to be a reply to an answer written
by me and which appeared In your
orum columns under date ot Feb
ruary 26.
After carefully reading Mr. De-
Spain's reply, I will quote one
paragraph of his, which Is a fair
sample ot alt the other paragraphs
n said reply;
lrlefly. I maintain he was not
there In His interest at all. No
man led by tho Spirit of God ever
yet aked for a law to make men
religious.
I must confess that Roderick
DeSpain le a very orave man, for
after boasting ot his singleness
and using such men as Jesus.
Paul, Lulher, Huss, Wyclif. Wes
ley, Fox, Ualloo and Columbus as
referencofl, he squares himself for
battle by accusing more than 70
of Salem e prominent business and
professional men and women of
attempting tj hare a law enacted
compelling the people of Oregon to
be religious, but he failed to tell
his readers how this was to be ac
complished.
One ot Roderick DeSpaln s ret
ences as given by him, said in the
twelfth verse of the fourteenth
chapter ot John: "Verily, verily, I
say unto you, he that bellveth In
Me, the worki that I do eh all he
do also; and greater works than
these shall ho do; becauee I go un

REFUSE SUBSTITUTES
to my Father.
Now then It may be that Rod
erick DaSpaio Is up to date when
he quotes Cod s Spirit as never
leading a man to ask for a law to
make men religious, but what
about the twelfth chapter ot John,
and the thirty-second verse; "And
I, If I be lift. id up from the earth,
will draw all men unto me."
Could It be possible that Rod
erick DeSpain Is fearful that Ood
would hare looked down from
heaven, and seen Oregon covered
tin His prayer lifting him up
trom tbe ear'.h and that God would
have then drawn all men unto
Him In Oregon. Roderick DeSpain
ill admit th..t if the state ot Ore
gon had paid for the printing of
these prayers and they had been
distributed all over the state, and
the Lord had drawn all men unto
him, that It would bare saved the
taxpayers ma&y thousand of dol
lars. Can any good reason be giv
en why God wouldn't have done
that very thing for us. If we all of
one accord would have asked Him
to? WILL B. PURDY.
To the Editor: I was greatly
jrpriaed to read In the columns
of your paper thot another case of
petty thievery had been reported
one of the city schools,
The surprise was sot caused by
the fact that the crime had been
committed but to whom had It
been reported to create the least
ripple ot Interest in or out ot the
school. From what I can learn
from the pupils, such things are
of almost daily occurrence. The
values, of course, ot greater oi
lesser magnitude, but the prln
clple Is the earae no matter bow
trivial the offense. In many In
stances the theft of books, pencils,
tablets, etc., are not reported and
when you inquire why not you
will receive tho answer, "what's
the use, they won't pay any atten
tion."
One of my boys lost an expen
sive set of pocket tools, consisting
ot a largo pocket knife-like
handle with Interchangeable saw.
chisel, hammer, tile, etc., put up
in a leather case with hie full
name embossed in gilt on the out
side. He was warned against tak
ing It to school, but boy-like he
wanted to take It Just one day to
show to some friends. That one
day was enough. It was purloined
out of his overcoat pocket before
night. A few days ago his tennis
shoes disapeared from the locker
and so it goes.
Another son put a cyclometer on
his bicycle to find the exact dis
tance to and trom school. He got
the distance there all right, but
had to multlfply that by two to
get the round trip, as the cyclom
eter had been removed from his
wheel when be went to come
home.
I think you are mistaken In the
statement, "all the students arc
furnished with lockers and keys.
True they are furnished with
lockers but the locks and keys in
some Instances at least must be
furnished by the student. As two
pupils use the same locker, each
having a key and one key must be
left la the office, it requires a lock
with three keys. J he only three
keyed lock I could find in town
was a cheap Yale lock, but as me
boys reported that there were sev
eral of those loess used in school
and that any of the keys would
unlock all tbe locks, I returned It.
A good lock that will not yield to
any but Its own key cost trom
$2.50 up, and to have a third key
made will add another half dollar.
I could not afford such locks, so
by note requestea mat my boys be
assigned the same locker. Rut
again, "what's the use?'
We have good teachers, a good
school and a good school building.
but it is a mistake to try to econ
omize on tbe little details at the
expense of the student. Though
it evidently was not in the speci
fications when tbe building wat
pit up, the school board could now
by contract, have each locker
equipped with an adequate lock a:
normal expense. The appear
ance of the lockers would also be
improved by a uniform lock in
stead of a promiscuous array oi
every Imaginable kind.
Another Instance of their mis
taken ecoonmy is the bicycle shed.
which Is conspicuous by its ab
sence. There are thousands ol
dollars worth ot bicycles standing
out in the w earner every week
day, the leather becoming soaked.
the metal rusted and tbs wheels
in other ways Injured, thus add
ing to the deterioration of tha
children's property to say nothing
ot the endangered beatlh and
comfort ot tbe child having to ride
a wheel that has stood out In the
rain all day. We pay our taxes
and I think are entitled to a little
more of a run for our money.
