The Only Remedy
Before the Methodist Conference of Oregon, now in ses
sion at Jiugone, Iiev. 0. II. Bryant, Methodist chaplain at the
stale penitentiary, last night repeated charges he made
. before the coroner's jury investigating the fatal prison break
of August 12, of laxity of discipline at the prison and of open
gambling among both men and guards. He declared the
removal of the present warden and the appointment of a new
'one the only effective remedy for the deplorable condi
tions existing at the prison.
There is nothing new in these charges. They have been
, repeatedly made under oath. Yet Governor Pierce refuses to
act and sustains the prison administration. Removal of the
warden is also said to have been demanded in the report of
the governor's special committee of investigation, which he
agreed in advance to abide by, but which he has refused to
either publish or follow.
The prison scandals and there have been a constant
succession of them since Governor Pierce took charge, are
the direct result of making the prison the spoils of politics,
of selecting officials upon partisan grounds instead of merit.
Unless the Rev. Bryant's advice is followed, we can look for
still more scandal in the future at the big country club main
tained for criminals to enjoy their leisure in.
The foremost tesue to coma be
lore meniuors ot the uiegon Pure
bred Livestock association at their
annual banquet held In ona ot
the (air grounds restaurants last
night, was the matter ot legisla
tive appropriation ot JluO.uOO for
the first unit of n new livestock
barn at the stata fair, tills Is to be
followed later by additional ap
propriations tor further units to
relieve tlio cunee.4ted condition!;
which are ccrtuin to exist as the
fair grows.
Another Important resolution
read and adopted was to the effect
that the state fair hoard and the
various county spring show exhi
bition officials Investigate tu
possibility of carrying Into effe-;
the sending of a state herd on :
tour of exhibition to the centra!
and eas'.ern state faira. The sug-
cstion was made that the money
necessary to finance sucli an un
dertaking be raised by assembling
the prize winners at the spring
shows and exhibit them at tlu
state fair afl a special ehow her.!
and charge a small admission, or
by charging a like amount at the
arioue spring county show's. This
trip would ho to advertise tin-
dairy Industry In Oregon and over-
iile some misleading information
t hat has gone forth regarding ihe
high quality of Oregon's dairy
.uilinais.
The change of dato of tho fair
was another Issue. This was
brought up because of the possi
bility of laboring classes being
befit able to attend the fair on Sun
day or a legal holiday. It was the
use of the nssnclalion that tnr
fair cover either inbor day or a
bunaay. in the event this alleges
tlon is accepted It was asked that
the fair, If changed to embrace
Labor day, begin on Saturday with
a racing program coupled with
track exhibitions o f girls' and
boys' club animals. The recom
mendatlon was made that on Sun
day a sacred concert and nroDer
devotional exorcises be held, after
wnicn tns barns and exhibition
buildings would be opened to the
public.
Thanks for courtesies shown
were extended to Mis. Ella Schultz
Wilson, secretary, and other mem
bers of the present fair board.
O. M. Plummer of Portland pre
sided at the banquet and speeches
were made by Governor Pierce, A
.7. Marsters of Roseburg, Horace
Addle ot Portland, Jack Mlckel,
slate dairy commissioner of Port
land, Itobert Wlthyconibe ot Union
and N. C. Marls, secretary of the
issociatlon.

and she Is ably assisted by a clever
young nian and three lovely girls.
As an outfdi'iidlng single nutii-
bar there has been no more cap
able artist on the tour than Char
ley Calvert the "Jazlogist," who
has been a featured dancer with
the New York Winter Garden re
vues and with a number of the
leading syncopated orclieatraa of
the country. Mr. Calvert was also
featured for a time on the studio
staff of station WQJ, Chicago
where he made a host of radio
fans who wilt be pleased of the
opportunity to see him In person
Ho mixes In numbers on the
ukelele and jazz horn with his
other routine which helps, to dem

around entertainer.

robatics and good comedy will
find a rare treat in the act of

sent what they term "Kuropean

prise a trio of Kuropean artists
who are ftnuihed in every sense 'n

original and comic.
There has been so much talk

A well balanced capable show is
nicely rounded off by the wire act
of I.yle and Irma Conner In a de
lightful bit of entertainment
which they call "On the Wire." It
is replete with the thrills thai

One of the most interesting state
fair vis i tore thia week is Mrs,
ISthel Keener of Olymnla, under
whose name D. J. Burke and Will
iam a ray, two of the fastest trot
ters here of rthe races are listed.
To endeavor to Interview Mrs, Kee
ner Is to revert time and again to
these two horses, for they are her
principal concern.
Mrs. Keener has been racing on
tho coast for a number of. years,
her horses being consistent winners
each season. William dray won the
stake here last year, D. J. Burke
the same trophy two years suc
cessively. In -the seasons pikjvIous.
This young woman Is not the
type that one Instinctively asso
ciates with the racing game. She
might Instead be easily mistaken
for any sheltered, home-keeping
woman. She is feminine to her
finger tips, beautiful, faultlessly
groomed, quiet and self-effacing
In her manner.
Her participation In the uport
of racing began exactly eleven
years ago, at the time of her mar
riage to Jack Keener, for the past
twenty-five years a conspicuous
figure In circuits from Canada to
Florida. "My father owned race
horses," Mm, Keener explained.
but as a young girl I felt no at
traction to the sport. However,
when I once became interested I
went into it wholesoulediy, with
It completely filling my life. I have
no side activities whatsoever."
When it was mentioned to Mrs.
Keener that the retention, of her
womanliness waa most refreshing
in her particular line of endeavor, j
she said: "I see no reason for
woman losing her charm In any
work. It la up to her to establish
her own standards of living: and
at the Mme time the attitude of
those with whom she comes Into
contact."
Mrs. Keener spends very Httlo
time about the barns where her
horses -are stabled, but In tho
grandstand each afternoon she is
certain to be found, her eyes glued
to program and horses.
Horsemen Up and down the
coast are her best and most loyal
friends.
NOVEL FEATURE
A ' livestock" exhibit at the fair
this year not listed In the an hum I
classification and premium card,
is shown by Tex A. Schubach,
snake rancher and reptile expert
of Berkeley, California, who Is giv
ing two talks dally and exhibiting
his attractions, from his car,
located near the automobile pa
vilion. His business is to educate
the public concerning tho nature
of snakes and reptiles, demonstrat
ing tho treatmeut ot both varie
ties. These things he sells for ex
perimental purpof.es, their venom
finding another market in labora
tories as anti-tonins.
He is asking that folk protect
tho harmless types ot reptile-:
which de3trtjy only insects and
similar pests. Many of the snakef
in Schubach's collection are high
ly venomus, but they are safely
lodged in boxes, exhibited only by
their owner during his talks,
when he shows tho proper method
of handling tbem.
Schubach has letters from Thi
ther Burbank and a number of
universities commending him In

Barbarism As Sport
The Oregonian is much exercised over the revival ot rabbit
coursing in California, which consists in releasing hares or
rabbits to be pursued, torn and killed by hounds. It
denounces the so-called sport as "barbaric in its senseless
unromanlic savagery," and says that "the good name of
California requires that the abuse be stopped, and resolutely."
Very true, but coursing, which has become a commercial
ized sport, is not nearly as cruel as that other commercialized
sport, known as the Round-up or Rodeo. In coursing, the
rabbit, exhausted after a game run, in which he pits his skill
as an artful and resourceful dodger against the superior
speed and endurance of dogs, meets a sudden and violent
death. In the Round-up, man and beast are crippled and
killed, without even the slim chance of the rabbit. Horses
and steers break legs and necks; riders are kicked, trampled
upon, and maimed.
There never was an exhibition more "barbaric in its sense
less, unromantic Bavagery" Hian that staged at Pendleton
this year which put to shamo-the bull-fights of Saville and
compares only with the arenas of ancient Rome, liesuie it.
coursinu is a mild and lame aflair.
Why worry about California and coursing when we have
Pendleton and Round-ups? Does not the good name of
Oroiron reouire "that the abuse bo stopped, and resolutely.'
What is the matter with our societies for the prevention of
cruelty to animals that they tolerate, without protest, this
community commercialism ot cruelty i
