Thou art my hidine iH-llS P commandments of my God. Psalm 119: God and You A LENTEN MEDITATION By the Rev. Charles Stelzle Scientific knowledge rereals God. - It does not shorten the arm of God it lengthens it. It rereals the pnrpose of God. It Indicates the partnership of God and man in fulfilling His plans for the complete redemption of the world. God is the God of Love. Bnt He is also the God of mathematics, of mechanics, of geology, of astronomy, of biology. He Is not the God of a haphazard world. v Eren God Himself obeys His own laws. The working of so-called "miracles' means simply the introduction -of higher laws. work to have this vision. If they cannot get it, we mast replace them with others who can. " , On our own growing generations will depend in the largest measure the well being of our section, and they must be imbued with an understanding of its possibilities and its great advantages- They have a right to this, and we will be derelict in our duties if we do not give it to them. If our city council cannot agree upon the matter of the submission of the matter of taking a vote on municipal owner ship of the water works, let the people take the matter up directly, by initiative. There is time yet, for the special election. Salem's splendid growth must not be hampered by inaction and bickerings and the sloth of general neglect on the part of any group. The whole people are concerned, not represented by any clique or faction. Salem, trade center of a wide territory, is next week going to make a wonderful showing in her second annual spring window display, under the auspices of the Ad club, com mencing on Tuesday evening next. There will be an auto show in connection, on Court street between Commercial and High. throughout the afternoon and erenlng- At 1 0 o'clock It reported It was still unable to agree. THE CHARIVARI The Columbia Basin Irrigation league is making progress, the legislatures of three of the four interested states having taken action Washington, Idaho and Montana. Oregon must come into line. The consummation of this great project will mean the reclamation of millions of acres, and the harnessing of vast water powers. White coal is the biggest asset of these four states. The use of all our water powers, and all our water that is running, to waste for irrigation, will make this northwest corner of the United States, looking out upon the Lvast and teeming Orient now awakening from its long leth argy, the most prosperous area in the entire world. We should all, every one of us, be interested in and thrilled by the prospect. TWO MEN ELECTROCUTED Killed Husband of Woman Each Ixjved, Now in Auburn Prison OSSIN'INO. N. Y.. March 17 (AP) Two men, convicted of the murder of the husband of the woman they both loved, were elec trocuted in Sing Sing prison late Xo'iro of Intention to Improve Lee Street From the West Line or. South 14th Strvt to the Kant " Line of the Southern Pacific " Right of AVay. tonight. They were Joseph Frila, 32, and Joseph Provenzano, 35, sentenced to death for the slaying of James Lemardi in Rochester, N. Y., in 1925. Mrs. Lemardi, the mother of three children. Is serving a 20 year sentence in Auburn prison for her part in the plot. The state at the trials of the three contended that Provenzano .ind Mrs. Lemardi induced Friia to shoot the husband so that Proven zano and the wifo could elope. ones of our country so that' they may become citizens of real eco notmic value to the republic and yofur Teal neighbors the 'kind yoiu can leave on guard when, yon d ;part from your homes." r i HOUSEHOLD NOTES i MEXICO Hi . , There is a -neighborhood not far from Salem where the charivari, relic of the mob spirit and disgusting symptom of the hick lack of culture, still exwts , And in its most bucolic form Where, not long since, the door of a bride and groom was broken down and the ordinarily decent women and men and boys and girls of the countryside, turned into a rabble of howling dervishes, yelled and screamed and beat tin pans and shot off guns and generally made such an outlandish jazz of awful noises as to frighten the timid bride into a state of nervous prostration from which she did not recover for weeks And actually turned another woman of the household into a condition of insanity. This spectacle ought to be enough to ban the charivari - from that neighborhood forever and a day As it ought to be outlawed from eyery other section, as worthy only of the weird incantations and hullaballoo of a tV?Vq rf Ti rrrroy TrtHinns Those ordinarily good people ought tq be ashamed of themselves. But they are not. They have carried on in the game manner since, when some neighbor boy and girl have i entered into the holy bonds of matrimony. It is natural and right that they should so heed the in stincts of the race and follow the orderly rules of decent , society . .. For which they ought to be commended and treated like ' ' "a 1 a 1 1-1. A. -1A CI 1 liUlUCIU V,tUgk7 WWVVMU WAV iAV II VVI V vaaavi -v.. U av worthy only of savages. When they get married, that is their business. It is not the business of prying and snooping neighbors, such as is depicted in the Russian mob turned brutes in the screen of the Volga Boatman. The fact is, the charivari, as practiced in the neighborhood mentioned, is a thing that ought to be frowned on by every man with the instincts of a gentleman and every wdhian with the qualities of a lady, and every boy and girl trained to have such instincts and qualities. 'V In most communities in civilized countries, the charivari ,ha crone the wav xf .the duel and the feud and the drunken brawl ..... ; Anil it should be tabu in every other community where there are "folks who are decent and law abiding and kindly and neighborly, in other relations of life. It has no rightful place in all the Tealm of civilized life. Bits For Breakfast o I VOCATIONAL EDUCATION "Nearly a million' young Americans are now taking voca finnal trainincr in the schools and colleges already in service, according to a recent reckoning ' And commenting on this fact a writer in the! Los Angeles Times says: "The vocational school has developed mightily in the last five or six years and is now recognized as the great, factor in determining the future of America. The young men are getting lined up for their careers and are getting their apprenticeship along with their tuition. This gives them a 'lead of a year or two over the records of their fathers. If a good start means a good finish the country should have something to be proud of." -' The tendency towards vocational training is a healthy one r- ; We should have more of it in the public schools of this v district including those in Salem. " ' "HVe should teach our boys and girls agriculture, among - other things; and the manufacturing and marketing of our agricultural products , ( r-- Because our great future is going to be in our industries on the land, hooked up with our industries in the cities and towns. , . We must grow more and make more things for the mark ets of the world - And the more our boys and girls know about these things the more efficient they will be to take up the burdens of the work that must be done ; 4. . . . - " 7And the happier and richer, they will become, and the J greaterand wealthier ' they 'will make the country and' its marketing ami manufacturing and merchandising centers." We must bring the people directing our 'public school Opening Tuesday evening Salem's second annual window display week, with auto show on Court street in connection.
