What Ashland Papers Kay.
Here aro u few extracts from pages
or stuff that Is appearing In Ashlnnd
and Umatilla county papers. Draw
your own conclusiens:
(One Ashland Paper.)
"Iloth tho state, capital and tho

at Salem In tho CO's when Sntom was

pushing his bill nllowlng tho peoplo
of Orogon tho blossod prlvlloge of
voting an appropriation not for
throo normals, but ono only for tho
state to be located at Portland."
(Another Ashlnnd Papor.)
"Tho plan and purpose of Sonator
.1. N. Smith of Salem was unfair and
unjust, ovon though possessed of a
certain amount of shrewdness and
cunning that carried well with the
Portland senatorial comblno that cbn-
troltod tho senate

tho end of tho school yoar. Tho way

(Weston Papor.)
"Tho legislature sought to estab
lish the foundations of a real graft

of $100,000 will scarcely buy a do

"Since tho Oregon state legislature

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bo, or bo repealed, kills tho poolroom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

So Tho Capital Journal says to tho
young mon of Salem, organlzo a mod

conduct It on cloan lines.

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

Let us work for bettor environ

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

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

is from to 6 p. m. Monday. See no

on men were Imprisoned in tho Dela
ware and Hudson railway tunnel to

It is believed that tho number of Im
prisoned men may reach fifteen. One

Chicago, 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. O'Donnoll today
declared that ho was preparing his
data for transmission to United
States District Attorney Sims.
O'Donnoll, who Is attorney for Miss
Ella Glnglos, a young Irish glrlMvtio
was recently found bound and. stab
bed In a room of a Chicago botol, de
clared that a systemlzed bureau for
luring Irish girls to Amorlca by wav
of Canada existed,
O'Donnell yislted Belleville, pat.,
to which Mls Giggle cam treat Ire
land, and found that her reputations
thoto .as of tho highest character,
"I also learned," continued O'Don-
nelll, "that hundreds of girls aro
taken to Cauada every year by a cer
tain Immigration agency on prom
ises of good wagoB and employment.
They nro thon sent to agonts In tho
United States, where they aro de
tained." Beside laying tho matter before
tho government, Attornoy O'Donnoll
presented tho leading facts to local
Irish societies, and a concentrated
efTort will bo mado to stop the' traffic.
