SETTLEMIER.;' THE RELIGION OF SERVICE "Harry Stone, doyen of the Y. M. C.:Ai forces of this part of the country; is telling: his audiences,1 as he told the one at' the .Salem Y birthday dinner Wednesday evening, that he almost had to pinch himself to believe he was alive in this year 1926, at the world Y convention at Helsingfors, Finland, last summer : j ; When ,things happened that, previous, to that convention, ineVer had happened, and that Mr. Stone would not have believed could 5 happen for a thousand years yet, if ever When Greek Catholic and Roman Catholic and Lutheran and a hundred other delegates met and exchanged ideas and 'compared notes and planned for a better world. Mr. Stone said he learned a lot on deep spiritual devotion from the .Greek Catholic delegates, and of faithfulness to their church from the Roman Catholic delegates, and of adherence to fundamentals from the German Lutheran dele gates ". -; Each group had something to contribute to every other group . t ' . r ., . -. - And the great contribution of the American delegates was a religion of service ;'a religion that believes in working for better conditions on ' earth instead ; of putting their major stress upon a mere preparation here for the life beyond the grave, as seemed to be the attitude of the German Lutheran : delegates. -' ' '' ; He thinks the American delegates taught some of the other delegations that there is in their, Bible the Sermon on the Mount, as well as the Ten Commandments and the doc trine of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' t t ' If there is to be peace on earth and good will to all.men, 4 there must be more such world conventions in which creeds - and races and colors and conditions must be.fOrgotten ; And . in which the American ideals of the religion ' of Kervic mustTbc- in vtiic iadeiiol-anIy Anjerjcan but UniVf 1 must be scores and scores of millions of dollars thrown away annually in; the cdst of all this stuff." - x: ! Here is atcasc ih'pbinti The First National bank of St. Louis, Mo is sending to the newspapers the speech in pamph let form of its vice president, Dr. W. ' F. Gephart,' on ."Some Neglected Aspects of the Farm Problem,"; in .which he, wades through a great : mass of platitude ; solemnly setting forth facts that are common knowledge in thi3 conutry, and ponder ously drawing conclusions that are obvious to any, one with brains above a rabbits ?, "i - ; r , . r- ' l As muchas to say, What a wise old owl I am." . The apogee of it all, the final and ultimate and oracular super conclusion is in these words: "Our agricultural community Vi ... should endeavor to different tiate between the handicaps that are inherent in the industry and those which are due to external circumstances. Once this' Is definitely determined then it will be 1 time to take such" political action as is possible to remove any external difficulties under which the industry may be suffering or Injustices that may be handicapping It. At the same time that such external corrective measures are being taken such internal' reforms which may; be neceseary. In the Industry can then be akenj by 4lie farmer himself. Sooner or later the; farmers of the country must be told that improvements in the condition of their Industry depend as much upon what they themselves' do to solve their problem as by what can be done for them by external agen ties." ' ' AM of which is almost as plain as mud. The fact is that the farmers of the United States would work out their own salvation, would 'solve both their "external and "internal" troubles, jf the authorities at Washington would wake up and take away the advantages- being dishonestly enjoyed by the Wall Street! sugar; trust in the Cuban raw sugar differ entials -:t :-; ; , -; - If they would amend the tariff law so as to wipe out a lot of its free trade black Spots-7- . And if it would cut out enough of the dry rot on the federal payrolls to give a real business administration, developing the sugar industry, the wool industry, the linen industry, the mohair industry, and a thousand others, in order to make this country self sufficient in all the things it can grow or make or mine or. get irom 11s own poieniiai icsumwa aiiu(1.u" ities, there would be no exportable surplus or raw products And most of the fundamental troubles of our farmers would be over. They would have their home market; sus tained by permanent prosperity The best market in the world And, in a very short time, this conutry would be an irm porter of wheat and several other-major products the surplus of which must be sold in inferior foreign markets. TT Ov TO A' CYNICAL FRIEND " A - J The writer would like to say to a good but cynical f riend troubled with the inferiority complex, who has been cracking jokes about the optimism of The Statesman, especially on the future of the sugar beet industry in th Willamette valley, that these facts are worth considering: H Only about 10 years ago, the United States was using 4 million tons of sugar r annually. f ;-,That t seemed a lot of sugar; some- 89 pounds annually per? capita ; the highest in the worldrr . - - - - r : , But we are now using over 6 million tons a year; about 111 pounds per capita annually. And-both our population and 1 our Der capita consumption are growing We will before long be iising 10 million tons a year.-; t ' " . - We buy 4 million tons from Cuba, and about 1 million from Porto Rico, Hawaii, the ; Philippines, and Louisiana; cane sugar. We produce the other million tons in sugar beets. We have 108 beet sugar factories:. r- V , - - That many beet sugar factories, or sugar factories pro- ducmg tnat tonnage, are iouna in sections 01 uermany not as large and rich as the Willamette valley. I, We can have 100 beet sugar factories in the Willamette valley, and make only a dent withe supply we use annuany m inis couniry now. vve can grow the, beets not only without missing the acreage, but will atthe same time increase the tonnage of other crops' cn pur land ; by producing a cultivated, clean, rotation crop And we can have the 100 factories if we will all get rid of our inferiority; complex and work like we ought to work; not in one year, but before many years. It may be a dream. But it will come true.' How qoon will depend mostly on ourselves. There are a th6usand other reasons; but the-above will have to do for the first lesson for the writer's cynical friend. .

Just in front of us was the twisted. gnaried "Tree of Agony." (Again leaving detail to later diary ac count). Reluctantly we left, climbed silently the. hilt to St. Stephen's gate through which we entered into the city Tonowing the 'Via Dolorosa" the way Christ went toward Calvary.
