RICHES DO NOT SATISFY: He that: loveth silver shall not be
satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth ; abundance, with increase:
this is also vanity. When goods increase, j they are increased that
eat them: and what good is there to the, owners thereof, saving the
beholding of them with their eyes? Ecclesiastes 5:10, 11.
PRAYER; O God, most mighty and most mercirul, do Thou
enable us to set our affections upon the; things ' that are above, for
we would serve Thee and we know we cannot serve God and mammon.
THE OREGON FARMER IS LOSING INTEREST
There was some LaFollette talk; among Oregon farmers
when he first came our for President i
But the Oregon farmer, hot thoroughly impregnated
with socialistic ideas, is fast losing interest I
And there is now a slump away from LaFollette. There
are several reasons. Take one. Hiere is a plank of the La
Follette platform:
"We declare for public ownership of railroads with defi
nite safeguards against bureaucratic; control, as the only so
lution of the transportation problem." !
' Now, government ownership of ! the railroads would
bring increased taxes, for as property, of the United States
the. railroads would be exempt from state and local taxation,
the same as are the postoff ices. j
Some of the farmers of different states have been figur
ing up what this would cost them; for instance:.
' Minnesota would suffer a loss in tax revenue amounting
to $8,425,982, under the LaFollette -plan for federal owner
ship of the railroads. 1 Wisconsin would lose something like
$7,321,976; Iowa, $6,849,703; Kansas, $6,739,346; Nebraska,
$5,365,960; Montana, $4,679,693; North Dakota, $4,072,282.
; Naturally these losses would have to be made up through
tax levies on other forms of property,; and are equivalent to
$32 for every farm or $2.80 for every man, woman and child
in Iowa. . These losses would run to $40 for every farm or
. $3.00 for every inhabitant in Kansas ; $47 for every farm or
$3.80 for every, person, in Minnesota ; $52.40 for every farm
. or $6.30 for every, person in North Dakota; $82.25 for every
farm or $8.50 for every person living in Montana.' These
losses to the farmers have been based on official records
And while the thing has not been figured out yet as to
Oregon, it would probably be found higher than Montana,
with over $82.25 for every farm or more than $8.50 for every
person living in Oregon. I
Put this squarely; up to
a W 11 A A A. n't ?
will quite LaFollette talk, if
tastic ideas oi socialism.
"TARIFF PROSPERITY"
' "In a recent speech Mr. Coolidge declared that under the Ford-ney-McCumber
tariff labor was being paid higher wages and get
ting more of the things that money will buy than ever before. ';
"The tariff benefits principally the manufacturing industries of
the east, such as the textile industries ; of Mew England. Yet for
over a year wage Cutting .has been In progress, dividends have fallen
off, many mills hare operated on part time, and unemployment in
creased. - '.: -'!! ":::-' : :
"The American woolen trust passed dividends instead of cutting
wages, to keep the: workers contented ; until- after election. The
Manville-Jenckes company pf Rhode Ieland has cut! wages of 8,000
'employes 10 per cent. Five mills of Nelson D. White & Sons in
Massachusetts and New Hampshire as well as several Connecticut
cotton mills have also reduced .wages. ! '
"The Amoskeag cotton and woolen milta of !New Hampshire
propose a 15 per cent cut in the wages of their 14.000 employes and
are now negotiating to avert a general strike. Their employes are
now on half time basis', j ,: ;
"Of course complete closure is threatened by . these mills In
ease of Coolidge's defeat to coerce the toilers into .voting right, but
even if they are coerced, they are in for a period of wage cuts.. Thte
is the way the old fraud of. the protective tariff always works In the
long run everybody has to pay increased cost fort necessities that
a few may profit under pretense that the tariff increases work and
wages."1 ' t. i. si": . - -i-.. . -rj ..'W.
. , The above is from the Democratic paper in Salem. -
The assertion of 1 President Coolidge is the truth ; and
the tariff does not benefit principally the manufacturing in
dustries of the east $ I
It benefits principally the working men: of the whole
country. . ; ! - :t , '. : .! '.
As to the textile mills of the east, especially the cotton
mills, they have had a fierce competition of late. They have
been. between two fires; first, the textile mills of England,
which have been receiving government subsidies to keep
them running in order to help stem the tide of .unemploy
ment in that country, where, notwithstanding such subsidies,
2,000,000 laborers are idle and are receiving a government
dole. Second, the colored labor and the child labor of the
cotton mills of the South have given another weight of com
petition that has been keeping the managers of the textile
mills of the North awake of nights. !
The fact is, the tariff rates on cotton goods are not high
enough; they do not give adequate protection to the manu
facturers of the North, in competition with the British mills
and those of the South. : ;- -; . :
If the tariff rates are lowered, as LaFollette and W, J.
Bryan threaten in case of the success of the former or of a
Democratic victory, the cotton mills of the East will have to
close down. - - ' . ' -. : j , ' ;.
With adequate protection, they would neither be obliged
to close down nor cut wages. Neither would they go or re
main on part time. , J .
POLITICS IN KANSAS
A private letter from William
Allen White says, among other
. things:' - -.. -: ; .,
"I am going Into the fight for
govtrnor to win not an office,
but a principle. If I have to take
the office I will do my best, but
at any rate we will get enough
votes so that fear of the Lord,
which is the beginning of wisdom,
will be put Into the hearts of the
political managers so that they
will not traffic with lawless ele
ments." : ;

he is not filled
with the fan-
l
sas. For Instance, in the second
congressional district there were
three aspirants for the republican
nomination. "Only one could win.
Both; the others are out as Inde
pendent . candidates. In Saline
county, f where Sallna is located,
they i have two republican . county
central committees, each conduct
ing its own campaign, neither one
supporting the full ticket. In
Douglas county, where Lawrence
Is located, they have an Independ
ent movement headed by the most
astute politicians in Kansas. Men
who" are so stand-pat that they
j wouldn't ' speak "to' a 'progressive
a few years ago, are. now working
hand in hand with menwbo'were
bo radically progress! ve""that their
sanity was ' questioned, to elect
Mr. White, an independent candi
date for governor.
What effect this will have on
the presidential nominee Is hard
to tell, but so far the personality
of Coolidge has been able to hold
all the elements for him for pres
ident. It looks as though Coolidge
will carry Kansas, but there is
no telling what will happen for
any other office. We. do not have
such a mix-up in Oregon " We
have supporters of the Independ
ent candidate. Some claim that
Davis will get scarcely any votes
at all here, but there are few who
do not concede that Coolidge will
carry the state by a large major
ity. Out this way we do not ap
preciate this maelstrom Into
which politics In the middle west
has plunged. It is a situation that
no one can see the end of, and it
is a mighty nice thing to be sitting
steady in the boat out here in
Oregon with our politics on com
paratively straight lines and our
campaign going on satisfactorily.
That unrest may reach Oregon
later, but wehave an idea ' that
the election of Coolidge will go a
long ways "towards settling the
grounds In the much riled politi
cal coffee pot. r
DAVIS REBUKES LA FOLLETTE
Senator La Follette in bis cam
paign ! against ' the courts has
struck a snag. Mr. Davis does not
see things that way, Mr. Davis
attacks Mr. La Follette's idea of
robbing the courts of their power.
to; nullify acts of congress or the
state legislatures : which seek to
deprive us of precious rights em
bodied in our constitution and bill
of rights. Shall we surrender
these rights at the demand of any
majority of the people, asks Mr.
Daris, and answers, we believe for
the whole American people. "Not
so long as one Individual remains
to claim them." "
As a matter of fact there is a
sentiment in favor of nullifying
court decisions that is dangerous
to America. At the present time
it Is not strong enough to make
an impression, but such things
eternally agitated finally wear
away the opposition. The time to
fight is now. ' The time to demand
that the integrity of the courts be
maintained is before. the menace
has become acute. . " ' " 1
There Is no danger of this pass
ing this year, but a' vote for La
Follette is a vote for It' to pass,
and furthermore it means that un
less we guard our rights, unless
we carefully watch our constitu
tion itself, the nation is In for a
run of trouble. The pity of this
is, because It seems so unneces
sary. '
Our forefathers established a
three-branch government. , It has
worked so well that we have be
come tfie greatest nation on earth.
If now, In order to meet the
clamor of the rabble if we decapi
tate our supreme court,, bind it
hand and foot and turn it over to
congress we have eliminated one
of the three arms of government.
Flushed with power and victory It
would not be very long until this
same clamor went up to shackle
the executive. ; The government
of our fathers would be a wreck,
while congress would be supreme.
The very thought of It Is Intoler
able. ",
ALWAYS WRONG
Governor Bryan, following the
same line of reasoning of his dis
tinguished brother, is attacking
the tariff law and has the audacity
to tell the farmers the law is a
menace to them. He will not get
far with this. The time is passed
when farmers can be directed.
They can be told anything, but you
can't make them believe it. They
may be instructed how to vote,
but you can't make them vote that
way. They are going to, rote for
their own. interests and their in
terests are in favor of the, tariff.
Unfortunately for the democratic
party we have had a few years
experience with a democratic tar
iff. .
A democratic nreairipnt anri a
democratic congress were elected
In 1912 and came Into power in
1913. They passed a new tariff
law putting many farm products
on the free list and greatly reduc
ing protection on others.
Under that law our total exports
for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1914, just before the outbreak of
the world war, were $2,364,579,-
000. , . :
I Compare those exports with our
exports for the calendar year of
1923, under the ' present republi
can tariff law. We exported last
year farm products and other mer
chandise to the stupendous total
of $4,311,283,000. J ' 1
Exports last year, under the re
publican tariff law, -were nearly
twice as much as exports In 1914
under the democratic taijff law.
. .No President need worry about
a cat If he- can keep his goat.
CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS
The address of Mr. Rryan-was
discouraging in another way. The
entire tone of it was to cause dis
sension between the rich and the
poor. lie could not find any mid
dle ground. A man was either
for the rich and special privilege
or for the poor and a square deal.
Such assertions indicate why Mr.
Bryan Is not a vote getter. He
is a very pleasing orator, very lov
ing personality, but it would be
hard to find a man more unfair
in politics or a man who made a
more partisan plea for any cause.
Mr. Bryan Is a great figure but
he cannot lead because he hasn't
anything to offer. Every man can
have his own belly-ache, so that
Mr. Bryan doesn't need to make it
worse. What he needs is a palli
ative to make it better.
EXACTLY
R. G. Dun & Co. has this to
say about the trade situation in
Oregon:
"Retail business is of fair vol
ume and Iss expected to Improve
now that the vacation season is
closing. Jobbers continue opti
mistic because of the higher prices
ruling on most agricultural prod
ucts. , Labor'-is well employed In
most parts' of the state."

These beautiful travel books of
home and abroad, are. written in
the most delightful style. The
writer Is evidently a middle west
erner by birth and an easterner
by vocation, because his reference
to the middle west mud strikes
near the heart of us who have
traveled its clay and mud in the
rain.
With a party of friends, this
author travels by motor through
unfrequented ways of New Eng
land, visits the shrines of literary
Interest, and with a wealth of
amusing experiences tells you that
a guide book misses, the Inner
side of a motor trip. He knows
the hotels as real living quarters
and no guide book tells just where
you can get a well cooked meal
or the cleanest . beds: But ming
led with, the prosaic Informative
value, the book: takes you into
the realms of old historical New
England, you browse with him at
the graves of - celebrities and you
smile as he travels Bostons crook
ed paths. f :
-"Seeing America First" Is a
laudable series. There is no travel
which sees the country as well as
motoring and ; those fortunate
ones who can motor leisurely
through the famous spots of his
torical America, will dwell on the

with unmitigated joy. The book
is a valuable travelogue blended
with idealism of a writer who

GOD 13
(Copyright, 1924f by
THE staternerits found in the
nnd "Love is the; fulfilling
to the ordinary reader Though
man will some day know that in
to.Le found themeans for the salvation of mankind. Man's full
salvation from sin can only be accomplished through the unfokU
ment. of CJod's life within him. - This seems a very abstract and
meaningless statement to most men. To them (lod is an intangi?
bleyindefinite thing and they do not understand how lie can be
unfolded in man. : J .
There are few who do no know: something of the .meaning o
love;,Most men have felt it from others. The mother love is aV
most universally recognized as beautiful, and the dearest and
sweetest memories that most individuals cherish are those thai
center around a mother's love. The mother's unselfish service
and devotion to her children, her forgiveness of their shortcorn
ing$ and her understanding of their higher motives and desires
are the result of the love she feels for them.' ; Because she lovei
them and serves them, understands t hernia nd sees and cherishea
the good in them they love, and many times worship her. Ify
therefore, we could be made to feel that God is the mother love
magnified to infinity, with its enveloping tenderness for us, ii
perfect understanding of the goodness of our hearts and tbj
we4kness"of our natural life, with forgiveness for our mistakes
and help in pur times of need we should have a better under
standing of what God is and what it would mean to be near tc
Him and to have Him in our hearts and lives.-
if God is love and we are to unfold into His life it must b
plain that we are rto develop love in our hearts and that as w't
lovp we are manifesting Ilim. If we are to develop to be like
Him and He is love, we, too, must be love. : And so it will be thai
hearts and lives so that this love is the controlling attribute of
our beings. ; . .- ,
When we understand this truth we realize how true it is, a
James says, that if we love God we musl also love our brothers.
If (rod is all and in all if we love Him at all we must love Ilirj
wherever He is found. If He is in all things we must love all
things and this applies especially to all the children of men thai
He has created. ; - ' . J - 4
If God is love, then, love must be the law and impulse of Hn
life and through this love must all things be done that are don!
in ;the universe. He must, of course, love everything that II ?
has made and He would not destroy anything that He loves. Ij!
He is love, love must be the greatest and most powerful thing in
the universe and in our small part of the universe, the world, anl
in he lives of men. Since God controls all things and He is lovo.
then love is the controlling power in and over all things; ancj
men must be controlled and brought to God through this love.
Jesus tells us that He brought a new law into the world to re
place the old law of ,san eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth'
antl this new law is the law of love. But this new law does not
yet control the world. " The demand of a life for a life is still
made, hot.only by man of his brother, but by sanction of tli
laws of the World. Men still return evil for evil. Kevenge still
finds lodgement in most hearts. This is so because God is not
unfolded in the lives of men. If He were, love and not hats
would fill and dominate their hearts.. .
No man was ever regenerated or redeemed by hatred or re
venge. Denunciation and rebuke never softened and elevateI
