A GREAT CONVENTION

JTTNDER pressure of a great ap-
- KJ - peal the Episcopal church will
J&egrln in Portland this week the ses
' slona of its forty-sixth triennial
j General Convention.
What, has religion to flo with
strikes? The nation confronts an
- emergency created by the dif fer
iencea of employers and worklrtg
" men. Can the church establish,
.'justice In Industrial relations? j
. What ha religion to do with
peace? The " wbrfa, but; .'recently
fan armed camp, seeks in the tears
of its widows and orphans, the
groanlngs of Its diseased and the
Borrow of its broken lives, a safer
'path to, a better time. Can it fol-

.? GOVERNMENT AND WHEAT
AMONG the bishops attending the
great Episcopal convention In
Portland, is Bishop G. ,Mott Wil
liams, an American, now head of
the Episcopal church in Europe. In
an interview In The Journal he
said:; ' " : it ; j J
The United states has felt that she
is not responsible for European affaJre.
But this country must be responsible.
This country "must take a keener in
teres in the affairs of Europe,; The
world is too closely knit together for
America to overlook this Vital ques
tion, i No European COUNTRY CAN
MEET DISASTER OR BANKRUPTCY
WITHOUT AMERICA SUFFERING.
. The United! States department of
commerce issued a statement re
cently that bumper crops were
prevalent in all parts of the coun
try. Later another bulletin? stated
that shortages j in Europe would
make it necessary for European na
tions1; to depend, on other! countries
for a. very large part of their wheat.
: The statements came during the
building .of the tariff walla Then
came reports of wheat going below
the dollar mark. Now come further
reductions in" the value if, French
francs, German marks; Belgian
francs and Italian lire. The foreign
money- dropped so rapidly j that
traders could not keep track of the
changea " i
Europe wants wheat.. We want to
sell, and Europe can't buy. Foreign
purchasers can't , pay in gold. They
Can pay only In goods, yet we erect
a tariff wall, that, combined with4
the sinking rate Of exchange, makes
it practically impossible for them to
pay In goods. ! How then are they
to buy ? How, then, are we to sell ?
How, -then, are farmers: tot get a
reasonable price for their wheat
withi a very considerable surplus on
hand? : , ' .. . jr.
u Authorities say there Can be no
BtabfUzation of money values until
conditions abroad are ' i stabilized
and juhtil political problems with
particular reference to reparations,
and 'debts are settled. We won't
discuss . those j problems, we will
raise our tariff wall, however, and
there is a very excellent prospect
of us keeping our own products
and doing without the money owed
us from abroad. Isolation is in the
keaddle and the growers of the coun
try -are being very successfully
isolated from their profits. Bishop
Williams knows why.
THE CITY TO BE
PORTLAND bank clearings for
August totaled more; than $5,
000.000 in excess of the! aggregate
of August, 1921. j
Building figures for. the-, month
were nearly $2,000,000,' against $1,.
486,982 for August a year ago. .
The postal receipts show a sub
stantial increase. i. 1
The growth goes on. Nothing di
minishes. Everything f lncreasea
The human tide flows In, but: never
recedes. Old commercial, indus
trial and financial establishments
expand and new ones are added.
Nothing will stop this growth. It
will be accelerated rather than di
minished. As rcities go, Portland is
yet in its youth. It has but reached
the point where its character, des
tiny , . and future are firmly fixed.
It has come to that milestone where
the outside is Just. beginning to hear
of its advantages and opportunities. I
It has passed to. the; period In
e-i-nwth whrai it ' Vina
., ..:.,; :! '.. :. 1
tiful. This is one of itsj weightiest
assets. What the eye kees has a
great deal to do with tbe actions of
men.- . Environment, .which fixes
the Character of nations,; makes the
history of j peoples andj according
to ' biologists, exercises 1 remendous
Influence In I forming individual
character, has much to do with the
smalfer matter of what place men
Wilt select in which to build homes
and rear -families. It its a matter
that we lose I sight jjojT,-J, but I Port
land's ..beauty Is a nagnet that
draws people who make bank clear
ings, take onrbniIdIngr permits and
swell postal receipts.- j
The place of the Portland of to
morrow;' and of the dayi and years
after that is fixed. The days of
doubt and hesitation : and halting
are passed. The course Is to be on
ward and . upward. In ! everything
that goes to ; make up a - modern
metropolis, Portland : is ' to . bulk
large. Institutions,, ' establishments
and investments: here "nay 'confi
dently depend on having to expand
in prder to keep pace; with that
which is to be.' ; s
In all public concerns and Im
provements and local problems this
certainty of :.a 4 greater Portland
should be kepi In mind. It is the
wise thing to plan thetn, . not ; for
the now, but for the tomorrow; not
for the cjty that is, but for the city
that is to be.

The urgent -necessity oi organized
and immediate action by the churches
of th world to: guard ; thw : world's
pese i. IS made all too plain by fn
economic 'plight and: the moral slough
of despond in, which the world i finds
itself today, - after four "years of his
tory's worst :war aad four years of
armed and implacable ifpeade." ; On th
one side we have economic f urn, auid oo
the Other preposterous efforts to main
tain enormous armaments. The, so
called peace i. has ii been ; noteworthy
chiefly for pestilence, famine, financial,
industrial : and- political disorders : aad
a snarling litter of wars fjand rebel
lions, offspring of the World war; and
the Paris treaties, jlt might be pre
sumed that rational : men would place
peaceful industry and drastic economy
in the forefront of life. On the con
trary, we; find thoughtiof war upper
most r and preparations for war j para
mount and universale Th experts r
the League Of Nations hve recently
estimated a million more j men uryier
arms in Europe today than early in
1914k in spite of German, Austrian and
Hungarian amies being greatly .re
duced. On May 18 the Lef gue of Na
tions' commission reported the nations
of Europe in no mood to! disarrn, or
even subatantialiy to reduce armies.
At the Genoa conference jven discus
sion of the question' was vigorously
and indignantly ruled out; and the
leader of the conference jw&s forced
back upon- the medieval 'proposal of
nine centuries ago to establish a few
months' "truce of God". M l
e ie ' j , j ' ? i
What is h reason? Well, as least
two; of the elements I; of insanity ars
potent, namely, fear- and; that: form
of megalomania known . as economic
and: natlonalistio imperialism. - X. de
plore the existence of the military
virus among every! peopla). England
still; stands in shining armor on, sea
and; land the United States retains an
army of 132,000 men as against: 90,000
before the war. British army experts
recently visited the United States to
investigate American 'methods of ' pro
ducing and using poisonous gases and
of utilizing any improvements they may
find for Great Britain's 'preparations
for fwar, tohlle the army experts of the
United States are striving to develop to
utmost capacity the greats gas estab
lishments our country already pos
sesses., r ": . . ii i' j ; i
The tar of imperialism clings to us
all ; we are : nearly all afraid, of one
another. Modern industry demands raw
materials- and markets for finished
products i other nations are acquiring
these by force or fsaud; we must do
likewise, for necessity knws no law.
Our neighbors are maintaining large
armies ; we must do likewise, for self
defense is the first duty of statesman-
. . . j .
Well, It Is time for someone to
break through this vicious circle. The
World war was to be a war to end war
and, preparations for1' war;; it wai to
put an end both to war land ito the
armed peace which breeds war ; it
was to make the werld safe for de
mocracy and rid of Imperialism. It
failed tragically to do ahy of these
things. Some more effective, as well
as more righteous, jnethed must be
tried. The laboring f: men; who have
been the perennial; food sfor powder,
are; once more uttering their feeble pro
test At Rome, In April, 1982, the Inter
national Federation of Trades Unions
demanded disarmament and prepared
to prevent future wars by ;resort to an
international strike, i Since this feder
ation represents 23,000,000? workers in
19 European countries, its voice and its
action will not always remain feeble.
In 1914 it failed to prevent the World
war, but in 1920 It prevented a war
against Russia. "We went to war
against Germany," the British labor
ers: said, "to defend the self-determination
of nations ; we will not go to war
against Russia for ; exercising that
right." The women who, as mothers of
out race have natural right and divine
duty to protest, -are also raising their
voices. The League bf Wsomen Voters
at' I Baltimore last April jasserted the
duty of outlawing war itjself, as well

a season, uurasb better days followed. Ooodnesa
and mercy, eridently hate followed tba other
family, pretty consiitenUj. aa it is a pleasure
here to note. j i
Oliver- Jory of Salem was born in
th Red Hills, just beyond Liberty,
October 8, 1859. I e topped to see him
at his workshop in South Salem re
cently. He was making the trays for
the famous Jory! prune! 'drier. Go
where you will iri the Red Hills, you
will find the scattered member of the
Jory tribe, and you will also find, al
most without exception, that they are
hard-working and , prosperous. :i
"There were five Of the Jory: broth
ers, who settled in the Red Hills," said
Mr. Jory. "They were John, James,
William, Thomas and Hugh. William
is the only one of the five: still living.
They came to Oregon In 1847 with
their father, James jlory. 'My father's
name was Hugh 8. Jory. He was born
in New Brunswick, j His people came
from Cornwall. He cam to Illinois
when he was three years old. He mar
ried Mary Budd !of Pik county, HI,
In January, I85Si i Their ; first child,
Charles, was horn September 15, 1858.
I was the next My brother Charlie
happens to be visiting me right now.
When they came to Oregon they went
by steamer to the mouth Of the Mis
sissippi, thence to Cuba, thence o the
Gulf of Mexico and -on to the Isthmus
of Panama, which !they crossed and
came up the west coast to San Fran
cisco and so -to Portland.: Oscar, the
child next to mej died when he was
young. Alfred end Ralph were the
next two boys. When they were little
tots they went down to the dock at
Salem to see a steamer pull the hulk
of an old vessel, out into the river.
The big waves submerged the logs on
which they were standing and they
were drowned. if:! !
"When my father came to j Salem,
in the fall of I860, he located on Cot
tage street, near Cherneketa f street,
and that winter the Willamette rose
so high that the Iwater came' over the
floor of the house; aad we bad to move
out. That wss the highest flood; I have
ever seen In the! Willamette, though
the water of 1890 and 1891 was very
high. ' j ' :i L ' ;i ;

honest man and; he believed I others
Were the .same. : After he had bought

had bought heavily mortgaged prop
erty and that there were many debts
against the mill, i For 18 months be
worked hard to pay! up all the indebt

the $5000 he had put into the mill and
during the 18 months in which fhe had

"When I was av bey 1 was a student
at ,; Willamette university : for a short
time. When we moved to South Salem
in 18SS there was no school r; church
there. In fact, tha house tnyj father

sixth house south.' of Mill creek; When
we moved here,: South Salem was all

' If you have been in Oregon ; any

is a natural pacemaker.; For 50 years
he has been; a progressive and; has
never been ashful- j about letting jtfce
world know Just where i he stands On
any; and every subject, i As a result,
many of his acquaintances in the: past
have called him a radical, an agitator,
a wlld-eyedr populist and a menace to
