The Orphan on the Door-Step CIOMEONE presses hard on the doorbell at the White House and the master cornea in his pyjamas to answer the bell. There on the doorstep is a cunning little basket with the soualliiurest brat inside. The messenger has hurried awav. The master looks down and reads the label: Tariff k Bill." and great humanitarian that he is, he picks up the basket and takes it inside. t Sired bv Grundy and damned by the jackasses (that s a mixed metaphor) the bill was orphaned at the last. Penn sylvania gulped hard but swallowed. Nebraska gagged and 3Deved it out. Smoot uses the "Et tu" logic in pointing to the iam-besmeared democrats who voted against the bill. Now the orphan whose gestation and delivery consumed some fifteen months for a "limited revision" is turned over to the nrpsident for christenine or for chloroform. If it takes that long for a limited revision, a general revision would take about a generation. So far as the northwest goes, our immediate interests &r fairlv well considered. Lumber is in for a dollar a thous and; wool is stepped up three cents a pound; hides are at 10;; duty; cherries, nuts and flax are well protected zo tne satisfaction of the growers. The pretest against the bill is that it raises import duty levels, thus hampering our foreign trade; that, if it proves effective, it will result in increasing tne cost 01 living; mat the agricultural increases are futile because on most agri Cllltll ial products we are exporters rather th-nx importers. Eastern protectionists do not like the bill because it doesn't provide sufficientrotection to their industries. They resent the increases to the west Because xney iear n win mane uv ino- posts higher for their workingmen. President Hoover will probably sign the bill; the repub licans will lose a few seats this fall. Then in a few years some one will suggest a new tariff revision and the special inter ests will get the jack-screws under the iiawiey-bmoot dui ' in the effort to make it even higher. Economic intelligence is slow to penetrate against the selfishness of particular in terests. To the man whose special production is favored by the Hawley tariff, the bill will look fine; to the man who lost out, it will be obnoxious. The poor consumer is never consid ered anyway. The More We Get Together THE convention period of the year is upon us. The grange has met, likewise the Masonic grand lodge. The Baptists have closed their session, and the Eagles have had their an nual assemby. Others will follow till school starts in the falL We are a nation of conventions. Who is there who does not get to attend one or more conventions a year? The pro fessional and business men have their group meetings. The lodges and churches and societies have theirs. Sometimes state conventions are not enough ; there must be regional or district conventions, and the man who is convention-minded can put in a good share of his summer keeping up with those ho is eligible to attend. Then come the state picnics. This is another field for the socially minded. A man who has moved about considerably can find most of his Sundays occupied during the summer months; one day for North Dakota, another for Kansas, a third for Illinois and so forth. What matter if he knows none of those present ; he can talk geography and call it a day, es pecially if the serving of victuals is generous. The American is a gregarious animal. None of the rigid habits of living of the Europeans binds him. He does not linger forever in one spot. The man who was born, lived and died in the same county without leaving its boundaries, has long been a mummy. So with conventions and picnics the American occupies his summer. The new national anthem seems to be: "The more we get together, get together, get together." Perhaps the American goes too much; but what a stick he would be if he stayed home all the time. Portland's Rose Show FRIDAY the writer saw the Rose Festival parade in Port land. The last one we had previously seen was in 1911, which shows how much of a galley slave we are. After that interval one could look on the floats without making any comparisons with the glories of other years. As we recall it, the parade of 1911 had more roses but fewer flowers and fewer and less magnificant floats. The rose parade this year was more of a peony and delphinium procession. There were roses to be sure, especially the big pink Testout roses whose abundance makej it possible to use them profusely. But the delphinium was specially prominent, and the peonies were abundant too, and the iris has "come in." So it is a floral parade and not just a rose parade. Some of the floats were truly wonderful. The winner of the sweepstakes, a floral creation showing mermaids riding on white sea horses, with Father Neptune and his fork be hind under a floral bower, had a close rival in the great pea cock float of the gas company which had a gorgeous spread of blue delphinium for a tail, spotted with golden flowers for additional brilliance. The Rose Festival is one of the gala events of the coun try. Portland did well not to let it die out but to arouse city wide support in making it a festival of flowers and of beauty. It is one of the unique events which we have too few of, and the parade itself is something justly famous. We do not in tend to wait another 19 years to view it. We even got a lot of fun out of watching how a woman motorist on the wrong side of the street blocked a taxicab and tied up traffic for blocks ; and how another woman motorist decided right at the bridge approach to shift from one traffic lane to another. n ( v 1 i s rw r in Only the other day I was read ing of a really tine school for toys, sponsored by Mr. Henry Ford, ta the old town of Sudbury.

This is a place where theory and practice fo hand in hand. The boys go to school, not so much for. the- book learning,' though they have plenty of that. They are to learn the fundament al lessons of right living, or to be more exact "lessons in self-preservation." Here a boys learns how to keep himself alive and well. He' learns what to eat and why bo eats it. He learns how to take care of himself economically, and to take care of- his clothes and .his home. In short, he learns how to iw an Independent person. He alee learns the practical means tSt maintaining a living in health and comfort. The boys learn dairying, fruit farming, sheep and chicken rais ing. They learn to grind their own flour and corn meal, for they hare a grist mill right on the place. They do the cooking and serving of meals. They look after all the cleaning, scrubbing, bed making and other homely arts. They build radios, motors, and furnitnre. Work Is good for everyone. But life Is not all work for then for they have their fun and social good times. They dance In cotil lions in the ball room In the Inn, a century and a half old. But there is another vary im portant factor In their daily pro gram. They learn how to keep well. Of course, there are the daily setting-up exercises every morn ing before breakfast, as well as a hygiene lecture. And the boys are oh a strict diet. The boys distinctly understand that this diet helps in forming eating habits that make for good health. Illness is seldom heard of in the school. This Is the result of Intelligent co-operation on the part of the boys ih eating only the proper foods. After many experiments a diet was fonnd that seemed ideal in maintaining good health. The ba sic idea of the diet used in the school. Is that but one type of food should be eaten at a given meal. Starches and proteins are not mixed, and therefore the old formula of meat and potatoes is considered chemically wrong. At breakfast, the boys eat only milk and fruit. The average menu for breakfast consist of orange juice, baekd apples and cream, with jnilk to drink. Luncheon Is the starchy meal. Raw vegetable salad, two or three hot vegetables, bread made from whole wheat flour, ground in their own grist mill, butter, with milk make up the .luncheon at noon. This quite suffices until the evening meal. The protein meal, dinner, is served without potatoes or bread. It has a salad, meat and green vegetables and occasionally soup. I No dessert of any kind are al lowed, candy never and the boys do not smoke. Every boy needs a proctical ed ucation. Without it he is handi capped in many ways in seeking a future caerer. Here are a lot of vigorous healthy boys who are in line for promotion to higher vo cational goals, and with a foun dation built of good health. Answers to Health Queries A. B. C. Q.

CHAPTER SVTI N'oll went into the aftercabin and found Faith there. Her hack was turned, she wai looking out of the stern windows. He wished she would look at him. but she did not So he said, his voice thick with anger and at the same time plaintive with iannger for a reassuring word. That damned rat won't try that again!" Then Faith turned Sand told him "That was a cowardly thing to do, Noll my husband,' He had come for ; comfort, he was ready to humble himself, he was a prey to the instinct of wrong-doing man which bids him confess and be forgiven. But Faith's eyes accused him. When a man's wife turns against him He said, bitter with rage. Keep your mouth -shut, child. This la not a pink tea aboard the Sally Sims. You knoijr nothing of what s necessary to handle rough men." Faith smiled a little wistfuHy. "I know It's never necessary to kick an unconscious iraan in the face," she said. He was so helpless with fury and shame and misery that he raised his great fist as though he would have struck even Faith. "Mind your own matters," he bade her harshly. "The dog struck me. Where wuold the! ship be If I let that go? I should have killed him.- ! Did you not?" Faith asked gently. "I thought he would be dead." "No; hell, no!- Noil blustered. "You can't kill a snake. He'll he poisonous as ever in a day.- "I saw,- said Faith: she shud dered faintly. "I think his eye is gone." "Eye?" Noll echoed. "What's an eye? He's lucky to jive. There's skippers that would have killed him where he stood. For what he did" 3 Faith shook her head. "He's only a little man, weak, not used to sea life. You are big and strong, Noll. MyjNoll. There rwas no need of kicking him." The man flung himself then In to an Insane burst Of anger at her. He hated the whole world,; hated Faith most of all because she would not sotbe iim and tell More than 2,000 Salem pebple were in Portland yesterday for the Salem day observance at the Lewis and Clark exposition.

And Faith, steadfastly watch ing him, though her soul trembl ed, prayed in her heart that she might find the way to bring Noll back to manhood again: she en dured his curses; she endured his harsh grip upon her shoulders. She waited, while he flooded her with abuse. And at the end, when he was quiet for lack of words to say, she went to him and touched his arm. "Noll." she said. He jerked away from her. "What?" "Noll look at me." He obeyed, in spite of him self; and there were such depths of tenderness and sorrow in her eyes that the man's heart melted in him. "It's not Mauger I'm sorry for," she told him. "It's you, Noll. That you should be so cowardly, Noll." His rage broke then; he fell to fretting, whining. She sat down; he slumped like a child beside her. He told her he was tired and weary: that he was worried; that his nerves had betrayed him; that the drink was in him. "They're all trying to stir me up," he complained. "They take a Joy in doing the thing wrong. They're helpless, slithering fools. I lost myself. Faith." He pleaded with her, deeper- j ately, anxious to make her und erstand; and Faith understood from the beginning, with the full wisdom of women, yet let him talk out his unhappiness and re morse. And because she loved him. her arms were about him and his great head was drawn against her breast long before ne was done. She comforted him with touches of her light hands upon his head; she soothed him with murmurs that were no words at all. The man reveled in this orgy of self-abasement. He groveled before her until she began to be faintly contemptuous in her heart at his groveling. She bade him made an end of it. "I wa sa coward. Faith!" he cried. "You're right. I was a coward." "Yen are a man. Noll." she told Mm. "Stronger than other men. is why I love you so." "I know, I know," he told her. "Oh, you're a wonder. Faith." "You're a man always re member that," she said. He got up abruptly. He started toward the main cabin and she asked: "Where are you going. Noll?" "Forward," he said. "I've wronged Mauger." He was drunk with this new-fonnd Jov of abas ing himself. "-I'll tell the man so. I'll right things with him." And he added thoughtfully: "He cursed me. I don't want the man's hate. I'll right things with him." She smiled faintly, shook her head. "No. Noll." "Yes. Why not? I've " (Continued on Page 15. Col. S) A civic creed: S Several years ago, when Rev James Elvin was pastor of the First Congregational church, and active la the promotion work of the Salem chamber of commerce, he formulated a civic creed. He was the man who secured for our Salem a large amount of favor able advertising by demanding that all the other Salems in the United States get off the map change their names and give Ore gon's capital city the exclusive right to the ancient and honor able name, being the most worthy to bear it. Mr. Elvin about that time formulated and published a civic creed, which many new com ers would no doubt be glad to read, and Bome old timers would be pleased td clip and preserve. A couple of years or so ago. Rev. Elvin died, at his rost of duty in Montana. Following is the Elvin creed: "I believe in Salem for what it has for Its cherries, peaches. prunes, loganberries, hops, small fruit and garden truck; its beau tiful trees, fragrant roses and other beautiful flowers; for Its marvelous agricultural and in dustrial possibilities, its trans portation by water and by rail. great In its rich and varied scen ery, rejoicing in its beautiful en vironment of river and hill and dale and snow-capped mountains its unexcelled mild and equitable climate, its snowless winters and cool, pleasant summers, hallowed by its rich and valued historical associations. "I believe in Salem for what It Is for Its boys and girls, men and women, shops and offices and stores, handsome public build ings, beautiful happy homes, play houses, schools and churches, hos pitals, trained physicians, patient nurses, conscientious educators. learned lawyers, earnest minis ters, conscientious men of busi ness, faithful chroniclers, indus trious workers, never tiring farm ers and ranchers, devoted mothers and fathers, and public spirited men and women; for its sympa thy, its philanthrophy. Its hospi tality and its neighborliness. "I believe in Salem for what It is to be for it3 inspiring vision of tomorrow exemplified in mag nificent new school and office buildings and charming new homes and modern Improvements everywhere: its well lighted and well paved streets; its hope for agricultural and industrial expan sion; a city where each and all may have an opporfunity. where none shall suffer for lack of air or food or clothing or shelter; where ignorance snail be speedily transformed into knowledge, wnere little children shall grow In wisdom and stature and In fa vor with God and man. where co operation shall replace selfish ness, where a living wage shall be guaranteed to all workers, where all shall work pr the welfare of the- community, where shall be practiced day by day In truth and sincerity those everlasting defin itions of all true religion, 'Do Justly, love mercy and walk humb ly with God, and 'As ye would that others should do unto you do ye also unto them'.

A r. markable sequence of events toov place between June 15, 1834, r.l June 15, 184, twelve years iapr The first date was when Ja?on Lee stepped over the Rockle ani into the Oregon country and found a stream whose waters trill ed away to the west on their lonr journey to the ttdes of the Paci fic ocean. A new influence that day entered into the spirit of th wilderness an influence small and almost imperceptible at first, that grew in geometric ratio from day to day; that widened and gained strength and culminated in the westward rush that gave the strongest of all muniments of title to the United States, that of possession. That is what nroncht the treaty of June 15, 1846. That is what brought the Mexican war. That is what brought the discov erers of gold In California to the Oregon country, to what are now Salem and Marion and Polk coun ties. That is what brought John C. Fremont, and that is what made Oregon's star In the flag. That is what extended the arc of the republic from the cre-st of the Rockies to the shores of the Pa cific. m S S Secretary of State Hoss notes that the census figures charge Salem with only 822 unemploy ed, and he says that Is wrong for he has at least 1000 people asking for Jobs in the automobile department.

That LAY SERMON BESIDE STIIX WATERS "He lcdeth me besii itill witert." Twenty-Third Psalm. Westerners think 3n terms -of dashing mountain streams- They are accustomed to waters dash ing gleefully, restlessly toward the sea. Is that why they are more nervous, more eager; more Im petuous? Our civilization moves to the tempo of mountain streams. Business calls insistently for speed, for more;! speed. The canoe and the ox team yielded to the pony express, the railroad train, the telegraph line. Then came the automobile, the air plane. The world moves faster, ever faster. j No, it does nothing of the kind. ?he world moves at its same eld pace; nor fast nor slow bat at the speed appointed when first it blazed" its path through the firm ament. It is we who move f astej, ever faster. It is we who use the bellows to burn the candle of our lives more brightly. l "Beside stMv waters." Few there be who are active in affairs who take any time to loiter be side still waters. At the seashore, res; but the noisy, incessant pounding of the surf betokens ac tion as well as power. In the mountains, yes; bat! the swift running waters spell movement rather than peace. On the high way, yes; but at speed too great to drink In the unfolding of na ture's glorious panorama. There is virtue In the still. wat ers. Is it not said that "still waters run deep?" The psalmist follows the line which Is quoted with this: "He restoreth my soul." Such Is the meaning of the "still waters." There is spiritual renew al through meditation and con templation. Along rivers running deep and slew, by lakes whose placid smoothness utters a bene diction, one absorbs the calm that makes for inner revival. We have hymns that speak of action and strire: "Onward Christian Sol diers; and we have those like "Peace, Perfect Peace." Each has a place. The summer season draws on. For many the Sunday is but a wild race to the mountains or the ocean and a wild race home again; and all done in the name of Rest, Recreation and "getting back to nature." Why not a day of pause? Surely there are some still waters on whose banks one may lie and watch fleecy clouds float over head, or sticks and leaves drift lazily in the current. Try it for a dav. Then perhaps you may say: 'TT ledftTi Tre Tesid sJi!I water ; H restoreth my toaL" 1T1MJ1FIHI is Stranger than FICTION Come in and ask for PROOF of every statement made in this advertisement.
