A liEGGAR'S
'.'A New York policeman the other day arrested a de
crepit, Kfcwly-looking beggar who sat on a stoop asking passers-by
for money.- Searching the man's pockets, the police
man .found he had $170; indignant, he called him a "Bowery
; bum," When the beggar was arraigned in court he protest
ed the epithet. "I'm not' a bum," he said heatedly. "I've
got j'20,000 in the bank, and that's more money than this
policeman ever saw in his life. He insulted me and I de
mand an apology." The court, it appears, lifted its eyebrows
at this and sentenced the beggar to six months in jail. Furth
ermore, he did not get his apology. In this age, when the
possession of money serves to gloss over, in the public mind,'
whatever defects a man's character may have, we probably
ought not lo be too hard on this man. But the little story
is interesting, illustrating the lengths to which some men
are -willftig to go to make money. Self-respect can hardly
live 'in a man who gets every cent he has by whining for it
on U)o street corners, accepting rebuffs and insults by tho
dozeif." And self-respect, for the average person, is the one
thing" without which life is ilnenduvable. Yet this ragged
bcgg;tt's scale of values was so topsy-turvy, apparently, that
ho npt only was able lo dispense with his self-respect; he
was able lo invent a new one, whereby tho words "Bow
ery 6ujm" from a policeman becunie a bitter insult. His
viewpoint, unfortunately, isn't exactly unique. Beggar,
wortfiless panhandler, unashamed codger though he was, he
was "fortified always by the thought that he had $20,000 in
the bank. No man vit,h that much money could be wrong.
The '"possession of bank books was an unfailing salve to
wounded self-esteem. When called a bum lie could remon
strate, "lint I can't be a bum I have $20,000." Haven't
you heard that sort of philosophy before? Oh, surely. Has
a certain rich oil magnate who concealed wrong-doing by
public; servants nnd lied to a senate committee been drop
ped by any of his clubs or lost caste with his associates?
Nothe. He is very rich. We're pretty familiar with that
viewpoint. : .The idea that practically any course of action
can be justified if it bring in the cash is widely held. It's
easy'enough for us to see tho absurdity of it when tho cen
tral Ti'gu re is a panhandler. We're more apt to miss the
pointr.though, if it's a multi-milllonairo. Money does talk.
SoimCftines we let it drown out everything else. , .... .'.
The Oregon Grange Bulletin, edited by Dr: C, IT. Bailey,
in itH"recont issue remarks: " Just because a visitor is a
-prominent man in the political life of the nation, should hs
be permitted to break the laws of Oregon? The Oregonian's
special writer in reporting the trip of Mr. Hoover from
California lo our stale last month said that the car con

wardens had warned local lishermon away Irom the best
fishing holes so that our distinguished guest might have
an opportunity of larding one of Rogue river's celebrated
stcclheads. Since when have our public servants been given
the power to "warn" free Americans off the public donfain
or Ilia national forests? It looks to the writer as though
sOmn'.'juT our fish and game wardens had better be "warned"

POEM FOR THE DAY I
Dy LOl'IS ALBERT BANKS
THE RETURN FLIGHT
All hail the day of my return! ,
All other ways but flight 1 spurn.
My thoughts of flight are full of verve,
Send dancing hope along each nerve.
Beside the San Francisco bay
I mount my steed so blithesome, gay;
My heart is like a singing lu'e
To soar again the fairy route.
Again the earth's beneath my feet;
We mount to where the air is sweet;
I'm glad to hear the engines hum
And scent the homing joys to come.
I joy to breathe the wholesome air
And lift to God a grateful prayer;
1 thank Him for this lofty ride
I feel He's riciing by my side.
At eight how swift my flying ship I
I see the bay beneath me slip.
1 feel at home within the sky;
With joyous heart I homeward fly.
I fly above .a host of towns
And view the fields in colored gowns.
By mountain peaks my flight 1 gage
And read the earth like written page.
At ten, I bid the fields good-bye
And, far away, Mt. Lassen spy;
A little later, Shasta's glow,
.Though almost barren now of snow;
Look down with pride on Castle Crag
But on we go and never lag;
We're slipping o'er the boundary line
Old Oregon is looking fine.
I hail her mountains like old friends
The thought of home sweet pleasure lends.
I pause at Medford, glimpse the Rogue,
But homing thoughts are now in vogue.
High o'er the mountains now we dash,
Look down on canyons like a gash;
Twelve-thirty heart up in my throat
As over Roseburg now we float.
. I see the JUmpqua down below,
And on toward Ncbo now we go;
Ah I there's the Roseburg landing field
It's home to which 'my heart is scaled. "
And there waits mother, friends, and. wife
The folks that give most zest to life.
Up in the skies I love to roam,
But ah! the best of all is home.

Paul Stands for
Text: Acts 15:1-11.
And certain men which came down from Judea taught the brethren,
and said, Kxcepl ye be circumcised after' the manner of Moses, ye can
not be saved. .
When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and
dispuiatlon with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and
certain oilier of them, should go up lo Jerusalem, unto the apoailes
and elders, about this question.
And helng brought on their way by the church, they passed through
Phi-nice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and
they caused gerat Joy unto all the brethren.
And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of
the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they-declared all things
that Ood had done with them. - ' .
Hut there arose up cerlain of the sect ol the Pharisees which be
lieved, suylng. That it was needful to circumcise them, and to com
mand .thvm lo keep the law of Mooes.
And the apostleB and elders came together, for to consider ol this
matter. . .
And when there had been much disputing, Pelor rose up, and said
unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago 1!od
made choice among us, that the Gentiles hy my mouth should bear the
word of tho gospel, and believe. .
And God, which knowcth the hearts, bare them witness, giving
them the Holy Ghosts, even as he did unto us;
And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts
by faith.
Now therefore why tempt ye God. to put a yolio upon the neck of
the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to barf
