such an overwhelming victory as two years ago.

Hawley, whose long career in congress nas gainea ior mat
m high and powerful place in thatTody, will also win by a
large majority. His opponent, W.' A. DelzelL courting the
lightning which he hopes may strike his way, has been
carrying oh an active campaign; but Hawley's position
seems secure.
As to the governorship if the result may be predicted
by the amount of money , spent and the noise made, Julius
Meier will be elected. The spacious war chest of Meier head
quarters has financed a big campaign all over the state.
There remains a vast company of voters not so vociferous
as the bull-frog party. It is upon this quiet and undemon
strative vote that the hopes of electing an anti-Meier can
didate rest. While the straw votes have been only of limited
groups, they have disclosed widely different r. 5ults. Bailey,
the democratic candidate, deserted by the Poi eland Journal
and abandoned by many democrats who have gone to the
Meier camp, may draw some strength from disaffected re
publicans. Over the state as a whole it would seem that the
heavy republican vote would make the race one between
Meier and Metschan; and that the way to make the anti-
- - - .a . m sr s
Meier vote effective is to vote ior meiscnan.
i ' There are thirteen propositions to be voted on; alto
gether too many to be submitted to the public. Eleven of j
them are constitutional amendments again an excessive
number. The craze of tinkering with the state's fundamental
law seems to possess us. .
The Statesman on the eve of the election urges all
good citizens to vote. Get a sample "ballot. Study it carefully.
Study the measures particularly. Then vote. And no matter
how the election goes, be a good American citizen and abide
by the result. "
. v f Sets et Precedent
THE state highway commission at its meeting Thursday
announced that it would take over the road around Neah-kah-nie
mountain, a stretch of about twenty mile3. Members
of the county courts of Clatsop and Tillamook counties ap
J pealed to the commission to take over this scenic highway,
which Is only partially complteed, and the counties agreed
to take over the section of the present coast highway run
ning Inland from Cannon Beach behind Neah-kah-nie moun
tain; . '
J This road from Nehalem around the face of the moun
tain and down to Cannon Beach wiH be one of the mo3t
wonderful marine view roads in the world. It is really the
n A aT f rm 1-s a J A. T T
personal acmevemenx 01 o. u. jueea 01 ureas tavern, nean-kah-nie,
former county commissioner of Tillamook county.
We recall back in 1924 camping at this beach, when the
road was only the dream of Mr Reed. With a tractor he
k himself set to work clearing the way of rocks to start the
work. As county commissioner he secured county funds
which were spent on the road around the mountain. Now
he is about to see the fruition or his plans and hopes.
This action of , the commission makes it now a very
easy matter for that body to recognize the North Santiam
highway by placing it on the state highway map. The Mar
ion county court is willing to match-, dollars on this work;
and.no request is made of the state to put up money on the
North Santiam until it has funds in hand to do so. This, be
it understood, is without prejudice to the South Santiam
highway, which is nowjreceiving state funds. Claim has been
made that the commission could not deviate from the old
outline of a road system. Yet the Willamette highway over
the mountains through Oak Ridge was made a state project
by the commission; and now this .ffeah-kah-nie section is
added to the state highway system.
The Marion county court and the Salem chamber of
commerce should present their cause at the next .meeting
of the commission in November, urging that the North
Santiam be put on the state map, making it clear that the
request is not in any way antagonistic to the South Santiam
road, and that no early expenditure of state funds on the
North Santiam segment is requested or expected.
Survey of the Willamette
PUBLIC officials and citizens of the entire valley, espe
cially of the cities located on the Willamette, should
study carefully the report of the Sanitary Survey of the
Willamette Valley conducted by scientists of the engineer
ing station at Corvallis. Generous extracts from this report
are printed on another page of this issue of The Statesman.
The salient facts set forth in the report are, so far as
Salem is concerned:
; 1. The water above Salem la quite free from pollution and
contamination and the river Is a satisfactory source "for onr water
supply, the water of course requiring treatment as it now receives.
- r 2. From Salem down the river is subject to Increasing pollu
tion so that at Just above Portland during low water periods the
dissolved oxygen is so low as. to be Inimical to natural fish life.
1 3. The Industrial wastes from the pulp mill and ilax plant are
far 'more of a problem than the Salem city sewage. These liquors re
dace the harmful bacteria In the water but also lower 'the oxygen
content, endangering fish life, which 4s of Importance because the

During the summer time we
are not concerned especial
ly with ventilation but as
fall and winter

becomes in

problem then Is to provide good
ventilation In order that respira
tory Infections may be prevented.
There are of course other impor
tant predisposing causes., such as
lack of sunlight, improper diet,
obstructions in the nose and
throat, etc. These will be dealt
with later.
What do we mean by good ven
tilation? Fundamentally good
ventilation has to do not so much
with an abundant supply of ox
ygen as was formerly believed as
with aiding the body to get rid
of excessive body heat and to ad
just itself readily to rapid
changes in atmospheric tempera
ture. Every one is acquainted
with the "close day" in which the
ventilation ceema so poor a 1
though the amount of oxygen re
mains the same. This is due to
excessive moisture in the air
which' prevents the body from los
ing heat properly through per
spiration. A person whose .skin is
not in good condition cannot safe
ly make a .rapid change from a
cold temperature to a hot one
without eome danger of HI ef
fects. Many experiments have been
made to determine what consti
tutes , good temperature. It has
been found that good ventilation
must have at least four charac
teristics: First, it must be of a temper
ature not exceeding 65-70 de
grees Far. This is colder than
most people are accustomed to
but it is the most healthful one.
The second characteristic is a
humidity or dampness! of the air
of 40 which means a humidity
about half that of air which
would be fully saturated at that
temperature. As a matter of fact
in this country little attention
need be paid to humidity if the
temperature is kept somewhere
near 65.
The third characteristic of -good
ventilation is a temperature of
the air which does not remain
constant but which fluctuates to
a certain extent up and down.
This helps to stimulate the skin
to protect itself. The activity in
the skin of course ' improves gen
eral tone and circulation.' Every
one has had the experience of
spring fever which is supposed to
be due largely to the mild un
varying temperature which re
sults in lassitude and inactivity.
Thus the temperature should not
be kept at a dead level of 65 but
should fluctuate somewhat. The
fourth characteristic of good ven
tilation is movement. Good fresh
air is not stilL It is always mov
ing. This of course helps in car
rying away body heat which
might otherwise accumulate
around the- body and thereby
cause oppression.
From a practical standpoint it
has been found that the best way
to secure good ventilation for the
home or school is not through
complicated automatic ventilat
ing systems. The simpler and
more efefctive way is by means of
the open window, using suitable
window boards, placed at a slant,
and leaving the upper sash open
about two or three inches at the
top. A thermometer should be
used to tell the proper tempera
ture since most persons Judge the
temperature more by comfort.
And this is often found to be
much higher than 65 degrees un
til one becomes accustomed to the
more healthful cooler tempera
ture. ,
Any one interested in ventila
tion should 'call at the county
health unit office where window
boards are Installed and informa-
LAY SERMON
A NEW PULPIT
"And then If any man shall say te
you. Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, ha Is
there: believe him not." Mark
XIII :21.
There is a new pulpit in the
land, not consecrated by bishop
nor blessed by presbyters. Itx is
the pulpit of the popular maga
zines. Or rather it might be said
of the less popular magazines.
The magazines appealing to
"mass circulation" beware of any
subject bo controversial as relig
ion. Fiction is their forte; or suc
cess stories; or articles on sub-
jects of timely interest. There are
other magazines with a more re
stricted circulation, which pre
sent monthly material which pro
vokes thought, and the range cov
ers philosophy, psychology, econ
omics, politics and religion. Es
pecially religion.
. We may think of this as an ir
religious age. But the number of
magazine articles dealing direct
ly with religion prove that relig
ion still interests people. Old
questions of theology are seldom
discussed, but . the magazine ar
ticles of today penetrate directly
to the very core of religion. Chal
lenging questions are thrown out
by contributors appealing . to all
seekers, after truth and light. :
The magazine is a new pulpit;
and many are those who are fill
ing It. Some are churchmen; oth
ers are ex-churchmen; eome are
non-churchmen. But . they ; are
contributing their thought te the
current literature oa religion and
want the Willamette to become a contaminated stream dang
erous to humans and to fish life. Now, is not too early to
plan to counteract the stream pollution whiofc is reported
for the stretch from Salem to Portland. i -

Ceclle's voice was low and it
shook with anger.
"Don't keep throwing that np
to me making that the excuse
to tyranize!"
"Oh, no one's trying to tyran

was weary. He crossed to her and
put a hand gently on her should
er. "Dear. I know you're all
upset, but please try to be calm.
I'm only thinking for you."
"Calm!" Her face was con
vulsed. "I'm trying to forget the
damned thing! And if X can go
to Coralie's houseparty and for
get it for a while, I'm going!"
"But Cecile,' he said patient
ly, "it isn't that I don't want
yon to have any pleasure. It
isn't even that I don't like Cor

She flung off his hand. "Don't

don't give a single pin for you
or the doctor no, nor the damn
baby! It had no right to come!
I don't want It! It's unfair un
fair!" Two beetle spots barned in
her cheeks. Storms raged la her
eyes.
He fought to keep his own
temper. "Well . . . let's forget
It, dear. I don't want to get you
excited. Anyway we don't have
to decide now."
"Oh, we don't! she mocked.
"Well, we will. IH show yon
I've decided. I'm going to run
down to Coralie's today, and I'm
going alone. And I'll come back
when I please and not before!"
She rang the bell for the maid
and when the girl appeared she
curtly ordered her to pack her
grips.

The preacher of today, has com

fount of religious information

magazine like Harper's, Forum;
Atlantic Monthly in nearly each
issue contain some articles deal
ing with this old and ever-perplexing
matter ot personal reli
gion. The preacher who thinks
that his hearers are accepting all
that he tells them is mistaken.
They may be listening attentively;
but likewise they are reading at
tentively from this other pulpit I
have referred to.
Some preachers may denounce
such "competitive preaching In
the language of the text quoted:
"BeUeve him not." If they do that
they may lose their battle just as
the merchant Who thinks "he can
disregard all competition. The
preacher who will really lead hie
flock will be one who 1s fully
aware ot the "competitive pulpit'
which reaches his owai 'congrega

this competition with words and
truths of greater power and deep
er appeal. - - .

they hear so many contending

his people for spiritual repose

Little by little the surround

He looked at them sardonically.
They gave an Illusion of comfort

always uncertain, became more
than usually capricious. She
made it an excuse for aelf-in
dulgence.
While he was thinking this,
Ken had been idly driving
through the morning sUnlirht
along streets oddly deserted for
Sunday. Now he found, with a
leap of his heart, that he had
unconsciously been obeying old
habit. Half a block away, was
Ardeth's hotel.
A smothered excitement stirr
ed la his mind. The longing to
see her again swept down upon
him. If he could only roll past
the last few months. To be again
where he was before his moth
er's illness. How many times he
had driven down this street on a
Sunday morning to find Ardeth
waiting for him before the ho
tel. Sitting here in the car with
him, slender and lovely. Golden
eyes meeting his own with such
warm frankness. Dear bright
hair the Joyousness of her.
His heart leaped and for a
momSnt he had the sensation
of moving throngh-a dream.
Ardeth that was Ardeth
standing before the hotel ent
rance. Slim white coat, white
felt hat pulled down over her
eyes Ardeth!
He was reaching for the brake
when she suddenly crossed the
pavement.
And then Ken saw, what he
had been too excited to notice
before. Tom Corbett's roadster
drawn up to the curb. Tom,
smiling into the girl's eyes as he
opened the door ot the car. Ar
deth got in and they drove away.
Neither of them had seen Ken.

Ken took his bitter thoughts
over to the duck shack. The
silence of a Summer day brood
ed over the salt marsh. His own
footsteps alone woke a lonely
echo as he walked down the
plank te the little honseboat
basking in the sunshine.
He flung himself on the faded
cushions piled on the rattan
couch and lay there smoking
and staring over the empty miles.
Smell of warm mud and warm
aw-grass. The soft lipping of
the Incoming tide on the planks.
Above all an empty grey-blue
sky bending in aching loneliness.
There was peace of a kind here.
A grey-colored peace, tinged with
resignation.
No resignation in Ken's heart,
though. He was burnt up with
unbearable jealousy at the mem
ory of Ardeth getting into Tom's
car.
Ardeth ... his girl . . . Ev

some six miles, carried by men

way, about It miles up the Wil

nor any wheeled vehicles. Bus
there were many good, swift
boats, and wonderful oarsmen;
and there were plenty of horses.
Ewing Young had helped in pro
