THE SALEM CAMP GROUNDS : Salem was one, of the first cities in the country to establish "automobile camp grounds. This was done by. the Salem Com mercial club, which undertook to pay the expenses. The grounds were finally turned over to tne city, ana at first they were made free to campers, though in 1921 the cost . to the taxpayers of Salemi was $1786.21. The cost in 1922 was ; $2501.78. The city paid rent for the grounds up to this year. The grounds were this year bought by the city; for $3900- So the taxpayers of Salem have been out $8187:99. But they re ceived in charges paid by campers $2275.50 in 1922, and the - receipts for this year up to October 1 were $306150.- The costs for 1923 must come out of that j There is no doubt that -the maintenance of automobile camp grounds is a good thing for' Salem ; and perhaps ' the whole cost may in" time be absorbed, and still allow for many improvements to be made. " 4 . This yeari at least 25 families are known to have become ; permanent residents f of Salem through the automobile camp grounds ; perhaps as many more not reported. 1 ' ' : -r Here is a point in favor of the camp grounds; ,v In 1922 there were 2963 campers; this year, tip to October 1, there had been 4084. ; ,: V ' - 1 m So Salem deserves some credit in this connection, n This is I not an argument for letting well enough alone but surety, some credit is due for what has already been done." Salem, the. eity of hospitality, the city beautiful, ought to , offer to automobile campers both the best and the most beauti - ful grounds in the country. But some regard must be had j for. the interests of the taxpayers; and , eity budgets are not capable of -being expanded 'indefinitely, tinder our laws, j Private interests might well be enlisted in a program of im provement; in a scheme, for making the grounds more beautiful , and giving them better- facilities generally for! accommodating the auto traveling public, - i .

Jf ; DIVINE IIEAUXQ F6r centuries the churches look ed upon divine healing as a lost art. Then quacks and fakjra ap peared with their charlatan meth od and professed a, revival. There was nothing spiritual connected with It. The people did not; re spond. .Later men appeared sim ultaneously in several of the estab liHhed churches declaring that the art had not died but only fallen into disuse. Healers ; who are not fakirs have sprung up and pro fessed to heal. i Soma say' the world has been incredulous. The ministers who have professed to be healers have seldom been able to sustain themselves In their min istry. Just now Dr. A C. Benson, i a reputable andt ; not; particularly sensatioual Presbyterian minister, Is 1n Portland. lie favors dlvlno hailing and points to many re sults. -lTi, Dr. " Benson hopes . to : have; the general assenbly of the Presby terian church .Indorse' the move ment for its own local bodies, anl ultimately to Interest all denom inations. Dr. Benson has in his possession f affidavits ' and state ments of people who declare they have been healed of many dis eases. "I do not claim that I can personally cure anybody of any diease whatever, butbat through scientific prayer, or appropriation of divine assets, according to the Bible, the Lord does work remark able cures in the lives of His1 chil- dren. he said.

"Jesus recognised a material world,' said Dr. Benson, 'but he said that he had overcome 'the world and' ho did overcome what seemed to be laws of nature. Yet he did not violate natural law, but utilized higher laws than mortal men un derstood. We are gradually com ing to understand higher laws, and as , we comprehend them we will see God doing what we called miraculous." Defining his own system, as dif fering from Christian Science, Dr. Benson ' said: , f "As I understand Christian; Science, it denies . th-s material world and denies sick ness and disease, whereas we re cognize it." ' : .'-.sl i X ; '"f " ' I i Dr. Benson hastened to say that he does not assail anyone for any belief or religion. "You cannot build up anything by tearing down something else," he said. "Bible healing invokes the law that the spirit is the supreme key of life; that the physical body is not the chief divine fact; that the spirit is. ; I expect to revolution ize " the I practice of organized .Christianity. to. . make'. it useful every day, ho said. . i'-r ; i T believe In science, in medl cine and In doctors," said Dr. Ben son. "I take as little medicine as possible, because, 1 believe that th-s more medicine :we take the mon 1 faction wp have to overcome be sides the disease. I do not oppose medical science and I sHfterely be lieve' that the J closer 'the coopera t ion bet ween min lsi ere and phy slclans, the greater the blenslng will be to-: humanity' .ItosU men need medicine and Christianity, too, and I pity the man who trusts in medicine alone' f ', ) ! A DIFFICULT PROBLEM I The Corvallis board of educa tion is wrestling with a very dif ficult problem. It Is the children in the W. C. T. U. home. The board hesitates to take on 1 this burden for the double reason that it Is not equipped and the health conditions are not good. How ever, the; Oregon Statesman take3 a different view. . It is hardly the business of this one : district ' to take on this, burden. The child ren must have schooling but they do not belong In Corvallis. Their education is a part of the stato work. Schools should be' provid ed for these children. If the V. C( T. U. cannot afford to do thin it would be. justified in ask ing for a special collection at this time.' The women are doing such wonderful work they must be sus tained and assisted in their ef forts. r J If the women need help in fin ancing the school we believe the people of Oregon would respond to an appeal stating for what de inite purpose the money was needed, i But do not forget the children must be in school. AXTI-WOOn FORCES WIX It Is not surprising that t'n? forces demanding: absolute inde pendence won in the Philippine elections." Indeed the surprising thins would have been' had (hey not ; won. It is - always easy to make an excitable campaign and not necessary to make a common sense one. It Is always easy, to be flambuoyant and get atten tion but it is not always so easy to ' caution, repression and wait ing, k The waiting policy "Is al ways unpopular. -r. However the Philippine Ilsands will . never, ;get: independence f by defying , the , government. Thoy will not be able to name their owa day ( of Unal Independence. . They must - take , our date. America will be greatly relieved when It can turn the Philippines over to their own people but this cannot be done until our, entire obliga tion has been discharged.' Colon ial government is not to the lik ing of America bnt ..neither is force. We ourselves must judgo of the capacity the Filipinos for the responsibility of government. We have gone too far, spent X too much money and sacrificed ton many, men to let the country go until it is fully, prepared, f ' '- November 18-24 has been; set aside as educational week.. Salem should have a very definite pro-, gram for that week. It should use' the bportunlty to instruct' the people in the advantages of relig ious -education -in our publi-" schools, j Our board of education is composed of high minded men but they have not , yet received J the vision. Instead o t throwing brickbats at the members - we should build up a public senti ment that will challenge atten tion . and demand action. This matter wlir never be handled by the big stick method but it Jwill be put into our schools the , very moment the board of education feels that it is the right thing to do. i: BOUGHT . A"I PAID FOR The ..Oregonlau .carries a .news story 'lo "the 'effect that recent happenings at the penitentiary are having a larger bearing on the recall petitions than anything else. This Is unfortunately true, al though that is not a cause for re call. I : ; : The plain unvarnished fact re mains that titer petitions ', do not represent public sentiment at all but are bought and paid for Just like we'bujr hogs and cattle. jjThe sordidness of the entire movement ought to appeal to the people.

CHAPTER NO 423 i THE JEALOUS QUESTION ; t MOTHER GRAHAM ' ! ASKED JUNIOR r , v i ' 7 ; I sat still for a long time after my mother-in-law had . flounced out of the room, pondering' j the words she had flung af me in; her anger, words which I discounted, as I always do those she utters In irritation, but which my conscience told me held more than a kernel of truth. . . ', : I had been "on my high horse." because of my Jealously of Edith Fairfax, id ray attitude toward Dicky, notably in my refusal to try the new motor car, with the quick revulsion of feeling which gener ally comes to me after any un graciousness toward my husband, I wished that I could live over, the last few minutes, and ' resolved that the next time Dicky asked me to drive I would go. il But there was no ; next,, time. Dicky did not a pear to hold any rancor toward me when he came home, he was casually courteous, with the little air of detachment with which he is often invested when he's engaged upon some im portant piece of wbrk. And he never mentioned driving me, in the big new car again- Nor did he again speak 'of driving to Mother Graham or to Grace Draper. But regclarly each day, as soon as he had finished work in the studio, he went away In" the new car, which Jim kept polished like a mirror, and I miserably surjnlsed bis destination. i . That I was not mistaken In my guess I knew frotn little Mrs. Dur kee's air of indignant commisera tion when we met." though' she said but little. !l knew it more surely from a certain air of reck lessness on Edith's part, from the smoldering wrath which I saw ' in Dr. Jim's eyes, from Leila's timid. troubled glances at me. An at tack ot rheumatism' that prevent ed Mother, Graham from climb!n: into a car had kept us' from ac cepting any invitation to dine Ib j them, and we entertained them. frequently during their stay. on two or three mornings wnen Dicky was at ' work with Grace Draper In the studio I took Junior, and drove over to -the hotel to call upon the Durkee partybe ing careful to return before there, was any chance of Dicky's arrival, Edith made but the briefest ap pearance upon ; these visits, rand saw, what I was sure the rest ob,: served, that she was ta re fully avoiding me. Dl9ky Is Always Away. - I think the keenest humiliation that came to me i during these days of unrest was the fact thai Grace Draper was a witness ' o: Dicky's defection. Of course.; she never referred ; to it,- but in every fibre I was: aware of her knowl edge, and, ; worst of all, of her sympathy, real or pretended. , That, incredible as it seemed. her sympathy was real, impressed itself upon me more and more as the days went by. For something either her own I suffering or her association with Junior, had changed, her greatly since she had come to us. She palpably adored the child, and he returned her devotion ' with interest. Jerry Ticer, under Dicky's dirt ectlon, had contrived two immense windowboxes under the windows of the transformed corncrib, es with hinged litis, which were crammed to the brim with his sketches, and which, when the lids were down, ..niade , wonderfully comfortable seats, cushioned and curtained as they were. Perched upon one of these, Junior, would prattle to Grace by the hour,' and the girl .seremed never , to tire of him. ;.: ' t .. l- , It was all I could do sometimes to let him stay jlhere,; and I knew that both Mother Graham and Ks tie disapproved" jealously of the association, and; prevented, it as much as they could, but I1 remem bered the divine assertion concern ing a little child's Influence.Yand my conscience, would not permit me to remove j from, Graced Dra per what seemed to me her , only chance bf redemption. Of Dicky I am sure she saw nothing except when he was work ing wfth her upon the Penningtou illustrations. He only had needed Miss Foster for three morning?. IThis was something' for which I was extremely j thankful, as Dr, Pettlt's blackly; disapproving and resentful face, when be brought her and called for her as he in variably' did. made me' extremely nervous and uncomfortable. Junior's Gift, i So the days went on, peaceful enough 'in an outward seeming, with Grace Draper's face losing its haggardness and its hardnexs rounding into something of itJ former beauty,; with Lillian slowly-recovering In her hospital room though.it would bet weeks before she would,; be able ; to f be about again,- with- Robert; Savarin de voting every waking hbnrffo'Mar ion's entertainment.; but; with, m? own heart a turmoil of torment ing doubts and; fears. .I was aes- we iSBID T petately .unhappyacd '.Vstlc b'uti;rnakc f?rg to 50 per month to myself that I could not be more miserable. ' . ' ' j y v IIow little I knew what was be fore me! ' ; i .-. f i It was -late one afternooq. al most dinner time, when Mother Graham and I were sitting sewing uron the veranda', that Grace Dra per came up, to us, holding a radiant Junior by the hand. Dicky was away, as usual, and "Robert Savarin had tken Marion to the hospltl, so that we had the plate to ourselves. The girl's face was paler than usual, and there wa a restless glitter, in her eyes thai I had not seen there in a long, time, but the smile she bent upon the child. transformed her features as if a. light had glowed behind them. .. , . , ! . "Junior has something he wish es to show mother," she Bald ten derly, and the child held ; up a piece of sketch board with a crude drawing of a dog upon it, unmis takably .be work of a very young child, bu't also unmistakably, bear ing upon it the mark of ability far above the ordinary child's drawing. I I "Dooner made dogie for mam ma," he said proudly, and l I caught him to me, kissing htm rapturously. , 'Where Is Danzie's?" his grand mother asked jealously. The child wriggled down from my arms. j "I det one for Danzle," he said importantly, and ran toward tJie corncrib studio, ' while we stood smiling fatuously after him. TUe studio could not be seen from the veranda, and as my mother pride made me question Grace closely concerning the .child's penchant for drawing, it was several min utes before with a quick glanc around that she said a bit nervous- iy: .'. ' ' i "I wonder what's keeping him. I hope he isn't meddling, with his father's drawings. Do you; mln4 going with me? I wouldn't like to forbid his taking them,"! . "Certainly," C replied, and we strolled over to the studio, but there was no trace of Junior with in it, save a piece of sketch board with two or three, lines upon It. dropped upon the floor. The door was wide open, and on the path leading from it to the- orchard .found the woolly dog which Junior always drags around with him." j "He never goes away," I; found myself saying through stiff lips. "But he must "have this time," Grace ; Draper said practically. Up-rComf.. can'l possibly be far away.; ; . But though we hunted, at first perfunctorily, and then frantic ally, through the 'orchard and pas tures and tiny woodland we could find no trace of my baby boy. ' (To be continued.)

Editor Statesman: Just a few words to the people who may feel inclined to sign the petitions now being circulated for the recall of Governor Pierce, on account oflhe political canard about some con victs, being allowed to go to the fair last) Saturday, dressed in civilian clothes, rubbing shoulders with respectable people, dancing with ladies (?), etc., etc. I happened to be at the peni tentiary and saw that little hand ful' of .boys counted out through the gate on their way to the fair, and also noticed the very apt car toon on the front page of , this morning's Oregonian. J With due deference and admiration for Mr. Perry's work la that line, must say that his picture is a wee bit overdrawn et ergo j misleading. While there is no danger ; of a horde of reformers clamoring at the portals of Governor Pierce or Warden' Smith for more humane treatment of our prisoners, my opinion is, that any one with an alert mind and open eyesj who cared to take the time and trouble to spend a few hours at the pen itentiary and .note the, invariably strict discipline to which the men are subjected; the entire lack of personal freedom enjoyed by them, he or she would oe quite ready to agree with the statement that there is not a lounge lizard in Ore gon so supine as to be willing, to change places with the most high ly favored convict In the institu tion for one short week. ' 1 . 1 Walter Pierce has the most dif ficult position to fill just now of any man who has ever been elect ed Governor of Oregon. ' Why then sign; petitions to recall him, before he has had time to even formulate plans, much less to try them out In practice, to : remedy the infinitude of evils that Ore gon has "fallen heir, to." mainly through the intrigues of the same sort: of politicians who are now trying to have him recalled.

Pierce has been promi nently before the public of - Ore gon,' ' politically, . financially and otherwise we must conclude that he is too big for their measuring tape to' get a correct measure of on so short si trial. Certainly the people of Oregon should be1 both ashamed and afraid to circulate petitions to get signers at 10 cents per head or to sign them for the recall of a 'man to whom; they themselves have so recently given the i greatest! majority by far of pany man who has reached that office. V - v ' I I Why censure Governor Pierce for : every move Warden Smith makes with 'his men without his knowledge o Approval? We could only consistently; censure him for appointing Smith. Can we do that? Another governor appointed - this same Smith to the same place for a term of four years, which he served out acceptably- a position which in point of being onerous and hard to fill, is second only to that of governor. As to making trusties of the .hardest ! criminals and putting the convicts outside to work, the customs are as old as the penitentiary. " i- . ' In 1888 I saw a convict working on the outside of the gate who had committed a cold blooded, premeditated murder and never denied It, but had escaped the gal lows and was doing a lite sentence. I asked. George Downing why he made trusties' of such men. He said because they made the . best ones. ; When j Governor Pennoyer gave a full "pardon to that "same convict,- after. serving only, five years, no ope ever even thought of recalling him either for par doning the convict or for appoint ing George Downing. i .
