"Iloth tho state, capital and tho state ralr will go to Portland Insldp of tho next six yours. It was placed at Salem In tho CO's when Sntom was quite u city, at least by comparison; Eastern Oregon contained few people mul Salem wub tho cantor of tho state. There bolng no accommoda tions In tho8o days peoplo wore uBod to doing without them, and Salem boliiK tho homo and rendezvous of tho Willamette vnlluy'fi most brilliant pioneer statesmen, It was naturally tho capital. "Tho last stroke of diplomacy wns tho bill of Sonntor J. N.

(Another Ashlnnd Papor.) "Tho plan and purpose of Sonator .1. N.

VERY IMPORTANT SCHOOL ELECTION NEXT MONDAY Last night was tho first night af ter tho paasngo of tho poolroom ordi nance, and tho places whoro pool nnd billiards aro played woro dosortoJ by tho usual crowds. Somo of tliB young men flocked to tho picture shows, and somo olsowhore .At a late hour crowds congrogated on tho Btroota and dlocuBBOd tho matter. Mnny supposed that tho ordinance was already In offect. Not a toy found fault with tho ipanagomoht ot Home of tho poolrooms for permitting minors. Moat of tho young mon said thoy rogardod tho poolrooms tho boat plnce to sp'ond an hour or so, and thnt, aside from tho noodlo Joints nnd Bttloons, thoro was literally no place for a young man to hang out. A Practical Suggestion. Tho writer suggested to a group of young men that they rorm an am- lotlc club nnd havo a poolroom ot tholr own, conducted strictly accord ing to law, on tho snmo lino ns tho Illlhee Club, but opon to any young man who conducts hlmsolf In a gun tlomanly manner. This wbb vory woll received, and Is tho only prac tical solution of tho difficulty. The ordlnnnco, if onforcod, and it should bo, or bo repealed, kills tho poolroom business. Tho ordlnanco does not attempt to reform or rogulato poolrooms, but Is aimed to put them out of business altogether. Unless It is ropeoled somo placo must bo provided for the young men of Salem. Tho ordlnnnco to prohibit young men under 21 from entering a pool or billiard room Is on the wrong lino to reform young men. Lot Us .Ifolp tho Young Men. ,. It puts n brand and a stigma on any young man who has learned to play those GAMES OP SICILL, TIIAT ARE NOT GAMBLING IN ANY FORM. Tho purpose of tho ordlnanco should bo to Improvo tho moral sur roundings of the growing generation, and tho unfavorable environment h aimed at, and It is truo that young mon of 10 nnd upwards could spend their time to better advantago thin In a pool room. SO COULD OLDER dormon who voted for tho bill did not nlay pool In youth. It must bo admitted thoy could also opond tholr tlmo Jn a worso placo. But la a free country, WHO IS TO DETERMINM THE LTTER? Is no lnltlatlvo or choice or per sonal freedom to bo loft In thla world for tho individual? Are wo to put young mon aa.1 young women each In a glass cam FOR inn PROTECTION AND PKE3 EltVATION OP SOCIETY? Whon you make that a mlsde moanor and a crlmo which la not Itaolf a wrong In any eonsewhatevw yon degrado thoso who aro sought to bo olovatod. So Tho Capital Journal says to tho young mon of Salem, organlzo a mod rn, np-to-dato athlotle club nd conduct It on cloan lines. Lot It bo mado attractive, and ponnin everytihno that TENDS TO EVIL ASSOCIATION. UMt do not make a erlmo of a game of skill and put a brand of law vio lation on two-thirds of tho youn? mon in the city. Salem young men aro not going to ruin nB many suppoao, IJECAU8E THEY VISIT POO ROOMS AND HILLLttW nALLS. ' Let us work for bettor environ ment, higher standards of morality moro gentlemanly conduct under all circumstances, nUT LET US NOT PUT A BRAND OP INPAMY AND THE STIGMA OP LAWLESSNESS on all young men who play at pool and billiardB, " Tho only offect of such policies i to drive young men into worso asso ciations and moro evil companion- ahlp and more degrading environ ment. Thero aro 200 young men In this city who need tho help of a woll- conducted athlotle club. Let us or ganlzo theso young mon and helo them to havo places of anvusomont and recreation, that Is on a standard with tho best civic intelligence of modern communities. Tho Capital Journal will lioln tho young men of Salem organlzo an athlotle club, nnd suggest that stops bo takon to call a j MEN. But how many of tho vory .1- public moetlng for this purpose. TRAP IRISH GIRLS FOR WHITE SLAVES Tho school erection next Monday is a very Important ono. Bonds are to be authorized for a much-neoiol model school Iioubo for little chil dren In the heart of the city, as tho high school has grown to require all tho rooms In that building now used for the lower grades. The school board has about secured another lot, which will give them a splendid building Bite. Better Fire Protection, The people will also vote on in stalling better Are protection. The sy tern adopted by the board of edu cation will give each school house instantaneous chemical pressure o every floor, and tho Ave to flfteen minutea watt for tho city flro depart ment to arrive, whea tho lives of hundreds of children might bo sacri ficed, will bo obviated. Tho election is from to 6 p. m. Monday. See no tice in this papor. o' Imprisoned in Huriiiiig Tunnel. Wllkesbarre, Pa March 3.

After return ing from an extensive investigation in Canada of an organization for tho entrapping of young Irish girls to bo sold ob "whlto slaves" In the United States, Patrick H.

They nro thon sent to agonts In tho United States, where they aro de tained."
