I WORK AND SELF SUPPORT j In his address at the Salem Chamber of Commerce lunch eon yesterday, Senator j F. J. Tooze, ckai rman of the ways and means committee of the upper house of the Oregon Leg islature, expressed the conviction that all the men in lhe penitentiary should work. j 1 j That it is the duty of the Legislature to find work for all of them: and in such work as will contribute to both their support and their reformation. Cone, That is just what is being ment of the flax industry, j If there shall be no turnings back, the time will come through the develop- when the burden of the support will be taken entirely and for all the taxpayers; and the! institution be tendered a model one paying a small wage to every woricer, ana resuiung in a nign of the Oregon penitentiary time from he shoulders of ifc er percentage of reformations.

Th one including fields from 15 tb 50 acres land the other fields over 50 acres. I For the first year, E. G.

Which tonnage has been raised $ here on experimental plats, and which sugar content has been realized here. , i i . One of the California growers mentioned, Mr. Outland Th a -writer maria ' th' statement! ori I th 'occasion men tioned that it would pay the state of Oregon to build a beet sugar factory, and grow its own beets arid manufacture them into sugar for the use of its institutions, if a' sugar factory could not be had in any other way j And this would not be an pnheardf thing. Louisiana has a sugar factory in cpnrectjon wth jis peitentiary, and grows its own cane. , And mere sugar to. the acre can be had : from sugar beets than can be had from bugar cane-i- And the Louisiana penitentiary is expected to be made self supporting, largely from the manufacturing of sugar. ' It would be much better to get sugar factories built by private capital, or by cooperative effort, than to have one owned by the state, of course. j -! 1 , ;j .. j ! I ; -I 4.. . , xjutc it seems a shame to see this great resource neglected. X r "J; :, " ' And, by the way, why do not the railroad people decide upon the rate to be allowed on sugar beets proposed to be reflected in the great number of home service departments with , their lectures, cooking classes and radio talks which have been installed during the past year by the gas com panies of the United States, j . : Nearly 8,000 high schools in this country now give courses in domestic science, with a total enrollment of about 400,000 girls and 3,000 . boys. This compares with only X50 schools ten years ago. The enrollment of girls taking these courses in grades 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the elementary schools approximates 3,700,000. I , This means that there are well over 4,100,000 children of school age learning how to cook and keep house according to the most modern principles. ; I ; FARMERS' CREDITS grown by our farmers and sent to the built at Bellingham, Washington? This to.be done in the nature of an experiment: leading to the erection here of a beet sugar factory next year. ihis matter cannot be delayed,1 if faction is to be had this year if our farmers are to grow the beets for shipment next fall. THE FOUR BULLION LEARNING TO COOK new factory being The much discussed flapper is actually showing more interest in the kitchen than in the cabaret and enjoys the frying pan even more than the rouge pot. This is the in ference which may be drawn from the Recent report "of : the United States Bureau of Education, which says that the in crease of student enrollment in home economics exceeds that of any other subject in" the curriculum. " - H j I This ambition dn the part of American irirls to learn nqre about ths ecientific znanagementi of their homes ;i3 The president's agricultural commission has made a third re port and again puts its finger on something that is wrong. This time it goes after the departments in Washington declaring that inter-departmental and inter-bureau jealousies have produced unfor tunate results. It charges that a dog-in-the-manger' policy of rival ry has retarded the work for the farmers, especially Is the lack of unified credit system attacked. In many Instances the commision de clared more effective administra tion requires only the adoption of a more sympathetic and aggres sive attitude on the part of gov ernment officials. This comes mighty near being a charge of snobbery. Then there is duplica tion of work found. ' : f Discussing "Inter -departmental Jealousies," the commission said it realized that "personal or politi cal influences and the civil service status of employes who may of fend In this respect present limi tations to the extent to which ad ministrative officers can remedy the ills." It suggested, however. that each new administration, in dealing with proposals for expand ing the activities or influence of departments or bureaus, consider the value of the service to be ren dered, rather than "demands aris ing out of departmental rivalries or Jealousies." i 1 ; Methods of procedure and prac tices developed by the interestate commerce commission, It stated, "are constantly making it difficult for a shipper to obtain redress." "The cost of employing counsel tnd the necessary experts," it ad ded, "makes it almost impossible for the ordinary citizen to get a hearing. There are few, if any, courts where it is more expensive or more difficult to obtain relief; neither is there any court more deliberate in reaching its decis ion." ' ' ' The report said it was apparent that multiplication of work in the commission and limited funds had contributed to the situation. As a remedy, it proposed that the fed eral cooperative marketing board, reation of which was urged In an earlier report, could investigate complaints regarding rate mat ters affecting agriculture and oth erwise act in advisory capacity. FOR PEACE There has been a good deal of careless talk about war to end war. It never happened and the only way it can happen is for one side to anihilate the other. ; - War has already made Itself repulsive and ? repugnant. ; Certainly the way has " ben paved for lasting peace. : It is -hard to find anyone that believes in war. J Everybody is against it. We are not a nation of pacifists; we are a nation of common sense people. We see that war does not pay. If neces sity for war arises, we will have to have it and go through with it but it is up to the American peo ple to prevent that necessity. Dr. Clinton N. Howard, who lec tured here three times Sunday is an exponent of peace. He takes a very sane and sensible view. He says that there can only be an end of war by a reasonable compro mise 'between the nations of the world to avoid armed conflict. He argues that the end sought by war can be gained by other pro cesses. The main thing at the moment is to unite the thinking peoples of all nations upon a pro gram which pro videB no opportun ity for war. but which offers the choice of several roads which,, if followed, will insure eventual peace. That is the end sought. There are a thousand ways to avoid war, just as there are un numbered ways to foment It. ' Public sentiment is : created largely by people - talking -among themselves. ; The press gives them the subject matter , and they fol low it up with discussions and con clusions. The women in the United States are a powerful force for ' peace, i They do not want America , committed to bloodshed. They, do want America to "stand for righteousness. Women have never loved war; they have hated It but they never hated it as they do now. Women have advanced so much In intelligence and have taken such a. commanding place In the world that they are doing their oW tilnkiri? and they know war Is.wron thAMt c23 r ot be &eiende" THE FIRST SHOVELFUL A long long dream, if it can be called a dream, came to a success ful conclusion yesterday when T. A. Live8ley broke the ground for the new YMCA building. Salem is doing much for its youth and this building Is an expression. ' In the old quarters, bad as they were, it is doubtful if an association on the Pacificcoast functioned any better , and ' few of them as well. Secretary Kells is I an executive wonder and his heart always beats for the boys. . He has also a most extraordinary assistant In Bob Board man, a man who Is sacrific ing much that he may serve the boyhood of America It Is little wonder that with such big cap tains as these for the YMCA that the people of Salem wanted to put it in a creditable building. It is a 'glorious event anyway to have ground broken for the new build ing.'" .";"V 1: V- . JHY BE BREAK The dispatches tell us that there is liable to be a break between Col. Harvey and President Cool idge. Of course there is. Col. Harvey is one man who believes in breaks. He profited so much in the break with Wilson that he has been impatient j to make an other one. He will not have the same luck with Coolidge as with Wilson. Wilson happened to be a democrat and this country is easily influenced against demo crats, but in the long run Harvey helped Wilson very; much. He did not prevent Wilson becoming president and he did not prevent his re-election but he did preju dice him before the country. The chances are that Harvey is seek ing an opportunity to break with Coolidge and as far as we are concerned, we are willing for him to do it. HONORING ITS SON The beautiful spirit exhibited towards the memory- of Homer Davenport should attract wide at tention. Here is a busy commer cial city, building fact, increasing cial city, building fast, increasing terial things and yet it always has time to honor the memory of the one great artist who has come put of Silverton and out of Oregon. The monument recently erected there shows the appreciation of the people. We donot know just how much money was Taised there but the inception and the spirit of it belongs to Silverton. The monument is a testimonial to the finer, higher things of life by a busy community and shows the American spirit in its refinement. PROVIDING QUARTERS - It is highly important td pro vide quarters for the boys and girls exhibits at the state, fair. This department has ;? grown so fast that it must have attention. The boys' and girls are! the hope of Oregon and In providing them adequate ' facilities'; for displaying their talent industry, and accom plishments, the legislature will be encouraging the youth of the state to do Btill better and better each year. If the children get the idea that they are neglected and not properly provided for, they are go ing to quit. Children are more easily discouraged; than' grown people and we must take them as they are and not attempt to meas ure them up to grown standards.' A widow is the i luckiest wom an In the world.

ANGEL NEWS During the past week the local cannery shipped one bar of as sorted fruit consisting of 1280 cases to the New York market and; 400 cases of 2 fancy prunes to England. j . j Tuesday the cannery shipped out 800 cases of No. 10 cans of red raspberries 'to England and Wednesday a car of No;. 10 Water Loganberries and No. 10 red rasp berries will be shipped to the Chi cago market.; I The growers received checks in full for their blackberries during the past week. Amounts, paid non-stockholders was i 4 cents and the stockholders received 5 cents. Just a word tb the wise. One of our growers! harvested 5170 lbs. of blackberies from less than one acre, for these berries he received $258.50, this "acre is protected by one share of common stock, paying its Owner a dividend of over 25 per cent.

THE TEXTS STANDARD . 7 (Copyright, 1923, by San Jose Mercury) 41IIARITY covers a multitude of sins," whereas, hate, pre- J judice and intolerance often see wrongs in others that do not exist. No man ever hated or condeimned his neighbor that he did not injure and lower himself. The correct, the Christian attitude is to believe in and love our neighbors and all humanity, not because-we see them always acting wisely or living elevat ed, Christian lives, but because God has created them, because His life is in them and He is working in them to bring them out of the condition in which they are into something higher, purer and better. T Although some may be sinful, intemperate, ungodly or even criminal, we should stilt love them, because they are God's chil dren. " Our little child who has not yet come to the years of wis dom manifests the impulses of his animal nature. He gets angry, for example. "But we do not cease to love him for that reason. If we possess the wisdom that a parent should have we have charity for his childish, undeveloped condition. Instead of hating him we love him all the more, and through this love for him we lead him and help him to overcome his childish impulses so that when he comes to manhood he has put away these child ish things and can control himself under all circumstances. The man who has not come in development where he can con. trol the impulses of his animal nature is not a man. He is only a grownup child, He is a man hTphysical stature, but a child in real growth and ; the development, We should .therefore ; lova him just as we do the babe, knowing that in time he will grow into real manhood. ; Hating him will not help him in this growth, while love will, and this love will also elevate and help us to approach more nearly the true, the Christian standard in our own, lives, the first requirement of which is to "love our neighbor as ourselves." Snobbery is quite as disgusting in the church and its .members as m those outside of it.; -The man who sets himself up as above, or better than, his neighbor gives evidence by such an attitude that he is in the same undeveloped, unchristian condition that his neighbor whom he despises is in. He may not be committing the same sins that his despised neighbor commits, but he un doubtedly has others quite as debasing and disgusting. "There is none perfect, no, not one; all have gone out of the way." Until we have come "unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ," where, as Paul says, "we are.no more children,? the most becoming attitude for us is one of charity and humility. r r Besides, our human castes and distinctions are artificial and entirely out of harmony with the true standard by which all men should be judged. J Money, worldly success, social position, power, or even education in books, are not the things by which men should be judged. f The servant of the queen in her castle may be far above her mistress in real worth and nobility, while the man who is digging :ditches who has not a dollar in the world or decent suit 'of, clothes may be far above the millionaire or the most learned professor. It all depends upon the life that each is leading. The trampi in the street who wDl not work, who perhaps, by yielding to the baseness in him has brought him self into a condition where he cannot work, is but little if any worse than the millionaire who spends his time and money in idleness and dissipation and in gratifying the worst cravings of his nature.' No matter what he thinks o fhimself or what others think of him, the man in broadcloth' who lives a sinful and -ungodly life and is doing, nothing to make the world richer or happier or better is just as mUch of a worthless drone as the man whose sole occupation is to walk the streets and beg for his food and shelter. Men and women should be judged by the standard of real manhood and womanhood and by the blessing they bring to others, to the world. Not by what we profess to he nor by what we think or by what others think we are, but by what we do, by what we live should we be judged. So does God judge us if we take the words of the New Testament. 9fr , j- 3fr 3fr 4 One may be converted, which "means only that he has re ceived the baptism of Tepentance, that he wants to put away the grossness and sin of the physical life and to come into right relations with God, He makes profession of his religion and joins a church which lie attends and helps to support But if his neighbors see that all this has not much changed his con duct or character, if it has not affected his business principles his relations with his neighbors orr his attitude toward the moral problems of the world, would "they be misjudging him if they conclude that he has noi real religion. , . : Religion is a reality, a substance. The Scripture reports Jesus as teaching that when we are born again, born of the spirit, the old heaven and the old earth will forus have passed away and all things will have become new. If we really have had this spiritual awakening our methods of thinking and doing will for the most-or us be .revolutionized. And we shall take our new attitude into all the relations and activities of our lives. The man, who does not take his religion into his business, into his politics and into all his relations with men and society has hone. ' A religion that does not spring from the love of God and His truth and life, hut only from fear, is childish. It is not a religion that fits, the developed man. f One who loves God and His children will love to worship Him and will minister to II13 children because Jie Jo ves them and not merely because it is hi3 duty, even as the true mother ministers to her child not frcn a -e?3G:j0: duty;.butJbe cause sis Jovea it., , ' . , 1
