The God of Things as They Are Not J ONE Charles Werner of Shaniko has contributed the following which the Portland telegram- publishes on its editorial page: "To the Editor; To oar farmers and families: ' If you waat to change your load. If 70a want better times. It you want to set inside. If yon want to see a change for your betterment, j If yon want to be free to help yourself. If yon want to see new conditions, If yon are tired of thing as they are. Vote for Jnllns L. Meier." Julius Meier is thus, exalted to the role of god of things as they ought to be rather than of things as- they are. And tht appeal is directed specifically to farmers. But so far in his campaign we have noted nothing, that would be very great significance in easing the lot of the farmers. Just how, it may be asked will Mr. Meier "change the load" of the farmers? How will he -bring them "better times" if he becomes. governor? Will he make their lands .produce more, or their crops bring better prices, or will lie reduce the costs of their operations? It is pertinent to inquire also how Mr. Meier stands on the income tax. He has made general statements about equalizing the burden of taxation; but does he support the income tax? That is of more vital importance to the farm-f ers than the power trust which Meier is. continually at4 tacking. Analyze this plea of Mr. Werner's and u will be seen how impossible of attainment from the election of any can-l didate for, governor are the changes which he longs for,! We do not chide Mr. Werner for this: but he is typical of, a great many people who propose to vote for Meier why? because they "want a change ;" they want to "clean house.' Bless their sotals, Oregon has been changing governors with marked frequency the past twenty years. In that per iod of time the state has had eight governors, an average of 2tj years of service each. They have alternated rather closely between republican and democratic. If change is the secret, Oregon should o'ertop the moon from the number of changes which have occurred in the office of chief exT ecutive. Mr. Werner says he wants a change; and it is clear that he wants "better times," a lighter load, freedom to "help himself". He voices, we believe, the sentiment of many others who are thinking of voting for Meier. But in what respect will the election of Meier end unemployment boost the price of wheat, increase the consumption of but ,-ter, and make everybody rich? Cheap power will not do it the average power bill will run about 24 a year, and if the state could wave a magic wand and furnish the power for nothing it would not perceptibly better the lot of the farm er, the home owner or the working man. Is not this the truth: people are distressed financially their earnings have been less than other years; and they propose to vent their discontent on the governorship? Jos eph cultivated this spirit of unrest, Meier is Joseph's lega tee. Just what will or can Meier do to remedy a condition which is not Oregon-wide, but nation-wide and world-wide? Time and work are the cure for bad times, not electing Meier or anyone else for governor. i Some Compensations MUCH has been made of the disadvantage the farmer has been under as compared with the city dweller. High wages in towns have been the lure that drew many from the country to the city. The fast expanding factories created by the motor industry drew millions of men to man them, many of them from the farms. Wages, too, refused to be "deflated" after the war, so the farmer, whose pricey came down, felt at further handicap in his effort to obtain for his family some of the conveniences and luxuries that the factory worker or tradesman in the city seemed secure in. But the ending of the "new era" destroyed much of this myth of the seeming prosperity of the ity dweller. Whn the pinch of unemployment came, the wage earner was worse off than the farmer. As the St Louis Post-Dispatch remarked recently: "Sine then the contrast between the city's golden plenty and i the country's penary has faded from the picture. It the country can - never know the flowing : abundance of the etty in Its flood-tide of prosperity, neither can the country know tee city's destitution when ' gripped by" hard times. There are 110 bread Uses la the country, no "endless tramping- search for a Job, no prospect of a roofless day when the rent can't be paid, no resort at last to the agencies lot . charity.- ; - ; j Tt ia mnmorhi-ncr fr liv nn ft farm her in Oroni tfl ' know there is a good roof overhead,, plenty of wood in the fuel house, a cellar full of spuds and vegetables and fruit. . Fe windeed are the evictions on the farms. While there ' may not be the romance that attends city life, there is not the stress and strain and fierce competition of city exist ence; and there is genuine comfort and security such as : may be found nowhere else. 1 Perhaps we spend too much time thinking of our ills; we ouc-nt to take more time to "count our blessings" o'er .Jtnd o'er. - The President Is Right rE Capital-Journal chides President Hoover because !he has been urging construction of homes, saying: !

Her home life is far from pleasant. She lives with an aunt and a snoopine girl cousin. Neil is all right until she spies a "swell" rid ing a horse. Neil chides Ardeth Jealously. The next day Ardeth sees a picture of Ken Gleason, the man on the horse, in ths roto gravure section and her heart thumps. But Ardeth comes to' earth with the usual bickering with Bet about stockings. Jean ette Parker calls at the store where Ardeth works and offers the latter a Job in the "swell" shop she is starting. Ardeth ac cepts. Neil objects to Ardeth's plans and they have a row. CHAPTER 7. Jeanette's shop was most ap propriately named The Caprice. It was probably the city small est store a narrow sliver o i space sandwiched in between a fashionable milliner on one side and a Bmart fur store on the other. The window could be dressed with but one exhibit at a time an exaggerated fan of flame col ored ostrich feathers or an ex quisite cloisonne vase. Once it was a golden-yellow Mandarin coat, flung with elegant careless ness over a teakwood chair Jeanette had brought that back on her last trip to the Orient And once, there was nothing in the window save a train of ivory elephants, diminishing in size as they, marched solemnly along a strip of black satin. Ardeth loved ths place loved It with perhaps more of posses sive tenderness than did Jean ette. The shop proved the sensation Jeanette had desired. It was dis cussed over the tea tables of Pa cific avenue. "Have you seen that place Jeanette Parker has open ed? My dear, they say it's actual ly good I Tou must go n Jeanette was able to pose to her heart's content. "Really one should get more out or life than bridge and koH. don't you think?" ahe would ask brightly. ' 9a many of the titled Englishwomen are going la for trade, you know . . . It lent an air of smartness which made it the vogue. They came in chattering rrouos to exclaim over the exquisite trl- ues, crowding the small shop be yond its capacity fur-coated la dles smelling of expensive per fumes. Gentlemen with golf togs and Harvard accents English accents southern accents. There came one day Ken Gleason. It was late in the afternoon.. Ardeth was crouching on her heels in the window marshalling me ivory eiepnants along the strip of satin. I 11 iiwl filyi y i - J '''' itfjjV ' I Your window display can't be beat," RAPPIN' FOR ORDER - - " VI v III There came one The picture reached out to ar rest the young man as he started in the doorway- and he stopped. A slim girl in black sitting back on her heels. Lights beating down on her tawny hair turned it to a golden btot against the black satin drape behind her. She was like a black and gold and ivory tapestry corns to life, thought the man. He found a sort of tender rid icule welling up in his heart. Something sweet and absurd in the profnud gravity with which she was arranging the ivory pro cession lining up the smallest elephants with a slim forefinger like a youngster playing with toys. Jeanette's impatient voice broke in on his reverie. "Come on in. Ken! We don't permit win dow snopplng!" He had a flash of startled gol den eyes sweeping up to meet his own through the plate glass as he obeyed, and he had a moment of excited surprise. The girl in the park! Ths girl who had look ed at him so strangely that Sun day morning! "WeU, what do you think of my shop?" asked Jeanette, arid for praise. He flashed an Infectious grin at her. "Your window display can't be beat, Jennie!" From the tail of his eye he could see the girl in the window color exquisitely. Jeanette laughed. It pleased her to have Ken Gleason treat her with this camaraderie. She was three years older than Ken and she airily called him an "in fant," yet she liked and made a bid for the handsome young fellow's approval. "Don't tease the poor working girl, Kenl What brings you In here anyway?" Tm sent to drive you home. A 1-1 m mm$m " . . A. , . .. ' day Ken Gleason. great honor Is being conferred upon you. Miss Parker I I'm hav ing dinner with you tonight. Mother and Ceclle are outside in the car. Your dad wasn't ready to leave the "office, but he told me to run away and pick you up on the way." Jeanette's restless eyes were roving over the shop as she put on her hat before the mirror. "Ardeth better use the black fan in the case tomorrow. We're shown that flame one for two days. And put out thoss two en amel cigarette cases I bought to day." Ardeth! Under his breath the man tried It softly. A name which fitted her. Something mediaeval about it. It brought to his mind bits of his halt-forgotten English course at college. Ardeth! Lovely ladies who wept alone on tower tops when their knights rode off to war. ArdethI What a golden thing she was! Where had Jean ette found her? When Ardeth had ellmbed out of the window Jeanette introdu ced her with that hint of patron age which ahe always showed an "outsider." "Mr. Gleason Miss Carroll!" She mumbled It because she was rouging her lips at the moment. "Ardeth's my faithful Man Fri day. Ken," she explained care lessly. "And, Ardeth, before yon H go, don't forget to make sure thelh kissed her goodnight later in casn drawers locked. Tony's coming to wash the window and cases in the morning perhaps you'd better get down a few min utes early. Oh, Ken the trials of a business woman!" She turn ed to him in mock despair.

In speak ing of the families of Philip Glo ver, Jr., to quote: 'Geo. E., who married Martha Odenthal Schutt. widow of Ernest Schutt;' in resl lty this was his second wife. m 'm S "His first wife was Jessie Pearl Emmett, aaugmer james Emmett of an early pio neer family, and granddaughter of Jesse Harritt, who led a wag on train across the plains in 1846. I do not know the exact date of their marriage, but it must have been in 1800. Their oldest girl, Mildred Evelyn, was born in im. I, Alice Camille. was born in 100. They were divorced in Mil, and my mother died in 1912. But I should think any one who is interested in Oregon pio neers would be much more inter ested in my mother, whose peo ple go back even' farther than the Glovers, than they would in the second wife, whose people are only German immigrants. "I cannot but consider the omission s slight to ray mother's memory, and 1 can't help but sug gest that in the future you be sure you obtain ALL tbi facts be fore stating things in print. Yours trnlv. Alice Camille G lever Mooers. My father lives In Drain, Oregon, at present. Mrs. Alien H. Mooers, Skamockawa, Washing ton." V S The correction is gladly noted. The data of the Bits man were se cured from the "Book of Remem brances of Marion County, Ore gon, Pioneers," by Sarah Hunt Steeves, and her source of Infor mation was members of the Glo ver family. In attempting to list all the members of so numerous a family, with their wives, hus bands, children and grandchil dren, etc.. if is but natural that there might be an unintentional omission, or a mistake in taking notes or transcribing them, or even setting the type or proof reading It. S All the books of Oregon history the Bits man can find are full of greater errors, through many causes. It is true of all written history. In fact, the further one went back in history, the - more errors he would find, if they were findable. The first records of history were the descriptions of wars, made by dictation - of the victorious kings and generals. These were largely propaganda. Ancient history is largely the hoo ey of super highwaymen and racketeers of high degree; suc cessful corsairs and cutthroats, and cut purses. Like Caesar and Sir Francis Drake, for instance. The Bits man would like to add a word about the lady, the second wife of Philip Glover, Jr., "whose people are only German Immigrants," according to her niece by marriage, quoted above. The Bits man does not know, the lady, or at least has no remem brance of her. But how far back wlU you have to go In any fam ily in the United States to find that Its people were "only immi grants," German or of some oth er nationality? m Not tar. Unless one excepts the Indians. One would hare to go back farther there. But even Ltheir remote ancestors were im migrants, too. From Asia, most students tell us. And, if so, their remote ancestors had a compar atively high state of civilization while our own were living in caves of Europe and killing one another with clubs; or perhaps, some of them, hanging by their tails In the trees and chattering a Ardeth suddenly caught sight of her own glowing eyes in the mirror oposlte and her face flamed.

It was Mark Twain who said he made a study of his ancestral trees, till he came t a hangman's tree, and then stopped, tor he arrived at the conclusion that If others were not hanged no doubt all of them deserved to be. There has been running s great "historic" pageant In Washing ton, broadcasted over the nation al hook-up, done under the aus pices of the United States army, that is the worst abortion of his tory that has been observed lately. It features the fake of ths immigrant wagon trains of 1830, headed from St. Louis, on the way to the Oregon country. There" was no such thing. Not till is years later. The Bits man will ex plain further as soon ss he has space. The 1830 Immigration stuff should give the blush of shame to every intelligent man in the United States. Yet it has had high official sanction. S If you have not seen the fair already, you have missed a pleas ure and neglected a duty. Go to day, if you are in the list. - Note the county exhibits, among the others. They have never been as good or as com plete. The Marlon county and the flax exhibits should make you proud of your section. The same as to those of Polk, amhlll. Linn, Tillamook. Lane, Clackamas. Douglas, Columbia and the other counties. And ss to the filbert ex hibit of George Dorrls, nestor and doyen of that industry in Oregon, and the highest authority in the whole world. He is himself with his exhibit, also Mrs. Dorrls, the youngest woman for her age la Oregon. If you will study this filbert exhibit, you will get a new slant on what a great country we have here in the Willamette valley in all Oregon. Look at the San tiam Irrigation section's exhibit of products ou will get sn idea of what ths Willamette valley will be when there Is water ready to apply to every thirsty acre in the growing months of the dry season. And this is coming, sure as you are a foot high. The best minds of California see this now. Witness the $2,000.00 hotel go ing up In East Portland, project ed byj.a mon who has the vision. S Witness the Increasing number of men coming from California and buying. land In the Willam ette valley. They know what they are about. They realize full well that every additional acre in Cal ifornia, over and above the total of the acres already in cultiva tion, will,, soon or late, go back to the desert. And some of them soon. N There is not enough water in California, from the winter snows of the high Sierras, the rains on the places beneath, and that low ering supply underneath the earth, all put together, to admit of any further expansion. And we. here, have millions of Idle and slacker acres that will have plenty of water for at least sev eral generations yet. And see Mr. Amend's fig ex hibit. He has given the Willam ette valley a new Industry.. He has developed four varieties that do not need ths wasp's sting to fertilize them; and is on the way to a fifth. He is the greatest liv ing authority in his line. A visit at his booth will be interesting as well as inspiring. Wedding Supper Served in Jail; Sheriii Guest ROSEBURG. Ore..
