Hatred, despair, and starvation In one part of th world finds its who in other parts. Millions spent now for relief, by fostering god will, which is the final surety of peace, may save billions spent in war fare in later years. Children of Americans who have seen their parents engage in campaigns hare asked what it means, and Entered at the Postofflce In Salem, Oregon, as second class matter. PRESS FORWARD TOWARDS THE MARK I fYmvriorVifiirl hir iha Ran Jaqo Merfiirv It needs to be frequently forced into the consciousness of most men that thej main purpose of life is growth, devel opment, enlargement,) progress. This must be the purpose of the Creator for each individual human life, since the prin cipal rewards in life come to each man for effort along the line oi mis progress, qeveiopment ana enlargement, it does not so much matter, therefore, upon what round of the lad der of life one may now be standing; the important thing is whether he is climbing uri, standing still Or falling back. The man who is Well bom, who has been brought up in a moral, harmonious home, and who may therefore be compara- desires that-dominatel his less fortunate brother, has nothing to exult over. He is not responsible for the condition in which he finds himself. He has done nothing to produce it Until one has achieved something himself in the way of irrowth or development, until bv his own efforts he has ele vated himself above the condition in which he was born and reared, he has no reason for pride Onjthe other hand, no praise is too great for the one who, born and reared in squalor and sin, has I arisen above his first conditions into strength, respectability and success- Our reward should be, doubtless will be, very largely according to the use we make of our talents and opportunities, whether these be few or many The man who has! many talents may bury them all m a napkin, and so lose them and miss the reward of effort, ' as well as the man who has only one talent. ', There is in the world; altogether too much of that spirit that makes us thank (God that we are better than other men. This Pharisaical spirit fills us with a selfish, complaisant satisfaction with ourselves and our condition, and we there- , fore feel no call to effort toward self-improvement. We may tnus become moral ana spiritual Deggars, Let the man who feels that he is good, moral, or even religious, remember that1 no matter how good he is, he is a lonar way from perfection. By his conforming to certain , creeds and forms he may, have satisfied his chlirch; by con forming to the ideat i society he may have satisfied the , world; he may try ta vhink that he is satisfied with himself and that he has satisfied the demands of God. But we are and judges and rewards men, not according to their estimate 7 of their deserts; but according to" what; they are, what they accomplish. f It is just as obligatory upon the best of men to seek to .

No matter where we start or wljere we are in development or standing, we all need, to keep our faces ever forward and upward, we all need to strive con stantly to be something higher, better and more perfect, un less we are satisfied to ibe and remain inert, lazy, useless, worthless moral and spiritual tramps. The modern Pharisee Is hot always a hypocrite. He may honestly think that he is much better than he really is. Tra dition or superstition or bigotry or the teaching of theolo gians, or all combined, may have obscured his mental vision so that he does not see S himself as others see him, as God sees him. know that the subterfuge, sham, pretense and hypcrisy that .. a . ! . 1. f V. ' 1 ..1 . may give nun a standing in nis cnurcn or in ine worm ao not and cannot change his condition or his relation to .eter nity or to the things that abide. No matter what any theo logian may tell us, we shall not be angels of light until we have incorporated in our lives the angelic attributes, until we have grown or developed into angelhood. Is it not just possible that the theologian may iae mis taken, and that we cannot live a thoughtless; selfish, world ly, weak, aimless and sordid life in this world and. without great effort on our part, have a miracle worked for us by Christ, so that in the next world We shall attain and be some thing that we have not honestly worked for nor merited? Jesus taught no such thing, and such a theology is totally repugnant to all ideas of fitness or justice- Whatever he may think about this theology, the wise man will do his best i hare been told that other par te make himsplf what he wishes to become- That WOUld seem ents children are starving. The to be the only logical, intelligent way to reach the heavenly state that we have heard so much about, or any other place or condition of happiness and peace. If w are to be honest and true Christians, we have a duty to constantly watch and labor with ourselves. And if His kingdom is to come upon the earth, there is imperative need of living examples, not only of the Christian virtues, but of spiritual power. Only so can an manKina De con vinced of the truths of the New Testament; only so can they be made toknow that faith as set forth in the Bible, that the works recorded in the Bible, are intended to be exer cised, manifested and lived by every Christian in this world. . To be a real Lnristian is no uny iuub juu. "This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are be hind, and reaching forth unto tnose tnings wnicn are oe fore, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high call ing of God in Christ Jesus." it ram iouna it necessary to ao this, why not every modern Christian? No man is a real Christian, no man will ever become one. unless, subordinat ing everything to this spiritual effort, he steadily and con stantly presses forward to this mark that is set for us the attainment and exemplification oi tne living spim ui jurist, the perfect man. . . the second Is a measure of the value of the first. llillalw Bel loo in Yale Review. A -BITTER PILL settling of all the baseball sQusb oles will nave no time for the elusive game ot politics. Besides, no Jobs that be could get would pay 4i,W)0 a year. in this conntry that nobody knows about! The United States su preme court has ended the boun dary row between Minnesota and Wisconsin that has been pending for many years. .Did you hnow there was any such trouble? The late Pope Bsnedict left no property. He was so busy in nis holy calling that he had no time to accumulate mere money. Mt. Adams has joined the snickers. Or is it that there is a new kind of hooch being boot legged in the country east of the Cascade range in Oregon and Washington. XRAU EAST RELIEF DAYS If. as reported, the Pope will appoint five American cardinals. a writer in an exchange predicts that the agricultural "bloc" will demand that at least one of the quintet be a "dirt farmer." The only way to effect tax re ductions is to lop off all the non essential things, and see that strict economy is practiced in the conduct of public business gener ally, from the state's affairs clear on down to the bottom. It is one thing after another tor the British people. The latest big troubles are in India and South Africa. This ,self-determi-nation bug is a pestiferous nuis ance for the far-flung empires. "Bunk." That Is the word that might have been appro priately applied by Secretary Hughes to the Democratic state ments that the United States was led into the four-power peace pact by outside nations with sins ter motives. The antics of the coterie of political cooties oppos ing the ratification of the treat ies are disgusting to the vast ma jority of the people ot the United But every man of reasonable intelligence should states. . Today and next Sunday are Near East Relief days in the Sa lem churches, and during the week Near East Relist speakers will appear before various clubs, lodges and other groups. The "drive" or "campaign," to use terms that are somewhat un popular, win require tne rime anC thought of our citizens, will occupy space in our newspapers, and 'if successful will raise at least a few thousand dollars. That is what Salem and Marion coun ty will give. I It might be worth while to con sider what we will receive. Although for the past few months the Far East has had the center -jof the stajge, yet press dispatches the last few days Indi cate that following the Oanoa conference, the perplexing Near East will receive its long overdue, attention. First-hand information from Soviet Russia, from Silicia recently raturned by the French, to the Turks, and from Constan tinople, where ragged Russian generals are nawsboys, should be of interest to every student tit present day affairs. ' At least three of the speakers, who occupy Salem pulpits have, been on the field. Two" of them tn active service for two, years or more. Reports from other Ore gon towns where they have spok en, Indicate that their simple un affected narratives of heroism on the part of their associates, have been most inspiring. As long as we can be moved to unselfish acts by any story of the sacrifice of pity arous?d now will not be for gotten and In later years, when both those who help and those who have been helped, have come to maturity, the tie that binds them will be one difficult to break. War between such vill be Unthinkable. In feeding the children of the war-stricken lands, whether of friend or form er fo?. we do much to insure last ing peace. If a story of injustice and op pression is one that grates on delicate sensibilities, let it be told. Only In this way can jus tice coma to the earth. Those who suffer are folks just like ourselves, and H should be count ed a privilege o listen and to help. Far aside from giving us the privilege of saving the lives of little children, which Is, of course, the primary object of Near East Relief, Judge Scott, as county chairman, has placed us all under obligations to help by reflex influence in the appeal he is making to us this week. THE LITTLE CONSPIRATOR- ''Please, dear God, where'a heaven? Daddy doesn't know. I'm not big, jes seven; Bbt I'd like to go. Daddy's kind of funny Doesn't understand. Tells me jes torun along An p!ay out iif the sand. Muwer used to tell me Heaven was a place Where good children went to If they washed their face. Please, Is that your rule, God? Mine's washed in the sink; But if one don't have to It's foolish, don't you think? Please, dear God, is heaven So very far from here? Could I make arrangements To visit once a year? Gee? but It gets lonesome 'Jes to be alone ' With a baby brother That" ain't never grown. Say, God, can't you fix' it To let me play about? I'd be good in heaven Sy, God, try me out. v Muwer s up there somewhere; She'd be so upset If I brought my brother, She ain't seen him yet. Daddy won't need know it If you let me come. Please, God, try an fix it I can keep it mum." HARRY DAVIS BOWERS (By Mrs. Dwight A. Hoag.) Written for The Statesman. Let poets sing of June and May. And tell of flowers sweet and Of skies so clear ot deepest blue, And many other virtues true. But give me good old March for mine With wind and rain, not much sunshine, Some hail, perhaps some snow flakes too. A frost and freeze to make folks "blue." . Folks sit around and frown and pout. t It rains so, few will venture out. They KNOW the crops are sure to fall! They KNOW all bloom were lost by hail! Worst weather known since they were born ! Dame Fortune has upset her horn. And all shall-starve or live on spuds Must skimp and pinch and wear old duds. lived In "Webfoof' forty years. And every March that's all one hears. The crops have NEVER failed: but still Dear March Is called a "bitter pill." That's why l love it so, you see. Because it taught this fact to me: Just trust and smile, and clouds will lift. And shadows dense" with light bo rift. cmroott BTtTDT tro&ia Btnwox PLAT WOKS Copyright, 1923, Associated Editor The Biggest little Paper la the World Edited by John H.

She was keeping house while her mother was away, and was deep in her Satur day cleaning. "Oh U Ruth cried suddenly, and gave a little shriek, , While deamily enjoying the spring day, shp had not been holdmg onto her mop so tightly, ' and.

't" almost h't you; didn't I? 1U come right down and get it." , She went running down the stairs and on out to the sldewaiK. where the stranger was holding her mop."" She thanked him and turned back toward the house. Then she stopped stockstill. "I shut tho door," she exclaimed. and the night lock was on. And there's no one home but me. I've locked muself out." : "Aren't there eny wondows open?" the man asked. .

"You don't need to telephone," said the man kindly. "I think I have a key that may fit your door." While she watched him wonderingly, he pulled out a key and unlocked her door for her She thanked him gratefully, and he lifted his hat and went on. She thought no more about dropping her mop, until a few days later, when she received a postcard addressed to "youne la- ay at 16 aiearoru." m one corner of the space for the message was a runny little sketch of a girl noiamg a mop. men. in a very oaa scrawl were the ""Words Young lady: I guess it's 'rood I came along.

The science or doctrine cf the sources, principles, sanc tions and ideals of human con duct and character; the science of the morally right. . That's a mouthful all right But note the word3 "id sals of human con duct and character," and "the mor- ally right" Do you think my con duct squares up with that definition when, as a result of my efforts, thou sands of people are made happier and healthier people who would not otherwise know the benefits and blessings of good teeth? Every dentist knows that 77 per cent of the people have seldom or never sat in a dentist's chair, either because they don't know enough or are afraid. If honest dental advertising backed up ' by honest dentistry is helping to correct this appalling state of aSai.'S, Isn't it more nearly "ethical" according to the definition above-rthan the silent "dignity" and do-nothing attitude of the so-called ' "ethical" dentists? (. I leave it to you. I don't claim to be a philanthropist But my educational advertising is benefiting thousands of people and so I am happy in the thought that I am able to render a public service while earning my livelihood. Yet, because I am trying to do single handed what the profession as a whole should be doing, I am the inspiration for' all sorts of obstructive laws and regula tions fostered by dental associations and boards.
