Roman 3:13. If Somewhere Else If the proposed linen mill were only to be located in the heart of that tropic garden of Eden off the coast of Sinalba known as Falmeto del Verde, instead of Salem, there would be a lot of our fellow citizens waiting in line to invest ; if it were in some mythical timber belt promoted by a convicted swindler, good citizens of Salem would be fulling over them selves to buy ; or if it were a wild-cat oil well in Texas or Panama or some other distant oil-less region, or a remote gold or copper mine where gold and copper never grew, how the Salem money would roll in 1 If, instead of being 7 percent preferred stock in a local enterprise designed to build-up the city and develop the country, the investment were in 7 or 8 percent bonds of some shaky foreign nation on the verge of collapse and revolution, how popular the investment would be; or if it were in the high interest bearing securities of some faraway bankrupt community, what a harvest the high-powered salesmen would reap in Salem ! In the past few years, Salem investors have lost enough money in get-rich-quick schemes and fly-by-night frauds to build several linen mills. They have invested enough in foreign securities to make the valley a textile center. They have, in addition, actually financed paper mills in Vancouver, Washington, and St. Helens, and in short have been and are keen for any investment outside Salem. But we cannot build a city by sending money made in it away to create payrolls in other communities, nor by boosting realty prices, raising rents and letting the other fellow do it for our own benefit in Salem. We will have to , cooperate each do his share, throw off lethargy, shake indifference, bury cupidity or herald to the woild that we lack enterprise, progress and public spirit. The linen mill is not asking a donation, nor a gift, but offers an investment in the best security for the rapid upbuilding of the city and permanent development of coun try and state.

Lillemay panse.1 a sleepless night Although many times she closed her eyes and with all her mind tried to go to sleep thinking of Rob, she found that neither sleep nor Rob came to her. Instead the affair of her mother And Hurcld Kennedy could not be dislodged from her brain. Step by step she went over her conversation with Harold until finally she came to the conclu sion that his ambiguity of expres sion In his conversation with her in the afternoon waa only proof of his cleverness "If I did not have the perfect understanding of him that I have his conversation might have meant anything to me," U 11 may mused "Jt might have meant that he was t love with mother or me, but knowing him aa I do, I know he U not In love with either of us. "He Intends to marry one of us, however, and he does not want at this moment to burn either of his bridges behind him. "He knows he will have greater influence over mother and her af f.iirs than he would over me and mine even if I, as he thinks In his conceit, have abto succumbed to his fascination. Consequently he will r.iarry mother if she has enough money left for him to carry on, All night long Lillemay went over the situation, but the morn ing found her further from a solu tion than when she wcr.t to bed. As soon as it was light she got up and dressed and went out on ihe observation platform. Dawn always had a calming ana peaceful effect upon Lillemay. u'hiiA he was in school in Ge neva she had formed the habit of rislr.g early to watch the glorlou birth of each new tiay. There had always been for her ho much promise in the sunrise, it .ituna Ree-mcd to ay, I ' vmi another. ch.inee ino'.her thanes to put all the cares and an noyances of yesterday tenmu and begin anew. Much of her Joy in the eailv mnrnintr jhe had always inou.ni was because she saw first thU great plienonenon of unrwe nmons the mountains of swnzeuanu. "Nowhere cn earth," she uJ to av to herself, "is there as hcou tiful a landscape as thW. Nowhere r lane as I shall live shall I ever get the Inspiring thought that the sun and the hills are stngmg 10 gelhcr. as I do here. Nowhere eh?e shall I ever know without nny doubt within my soul that what ever comes, life is still good. Very different was the dawning that erected her eyes as sne open ed the door onto the observation platform. There was not a sound except the grinding and rushing nf the wheels. Once in a while rhe long raucous call of the enai.io whistle cut the ah. As far ss the eye could see the whole flat vuta through which the train was ?peed ins i-eemed loathe to wake. Even the sun which was rising just be yond the dis'int horizon was only a great brass- hall ansry at its tmpotonce lo brln back Ufa to the earth. Flat reaches of snni stretched before aa far as her eyes could travol. A dull purple have was over all a hato which here and there shook out tta gray cjldneas at the wurm kins of tho sun and turned to faint fad?d rose. Hunches of ra?o bruhh here and there rulse.l dlscouragod and thtihty htuds a If pleading for in right to live. The whole greut desert lay Inert utii awesome as if H hd grown Do Otspalrin to break the cold rciiirnunds of r. master which had ilci-reed it to everUfllng thirst. The discrt made Lillemay feel such a puny thing something aa () liHiecra! and usleits as tho dried tiiinb'.c-weed wh'ch was here and there aimlessly tossing about anion;, the hummocks of sand. Almost Lnco..iclously Lillemay Mrotced her arms out to the re eding lanJscape in which only V.m iing sun aefnu'd ultve and awt Kt. 'I have been wondering, Lille, how boon you woul-l begin again your sun-v.onmipplrij practices." It was Mi -H Norton who spoke.

Jn speaking of conditions in the Everglade state, Frank B. Knofe, a writer in the New York Evening World says: Ono thing that Is giving Impetus to the boom muat he "whinnered." Klorlda li a wide-open State, and fne and Independent citizens like it.

Anyone who wants the sporting lite can haro (t. There are no blue laws no Interference with "personal liberty." Kven Wllllnm Jennings Ilryan, ono of Miami's leading citizens, has not lifted his voice In protest. Hut he does lift his voice every day at a noonday booster meeting in one of Miami's great real estnto developments at so much per "lift." A rival development has Cllda Cray as a counter attraction. Hrynn tor the uplift and Ullda tor the "shakedown." Aa the boom has made Bryan a millionaire, he is not loatlillfr anif TKirwln nrnandaa in hantit nf rfnra iutna nn1 na long as the money rolls in, he will be quite willing to barter dryness for prosperity. Prohibition Is a law that only affects the poor anyway, slipped over without a popular referendum by the trusts and captains of industry, financed by the Rockefellers, Garys and Fords, because a sober serf is more profitable. The rich have all the booze they want and always will. The stricter the law is enforced, the higher the price, and the higher the price the more money and greater incentive for violation, so the supply meets the demand, completing a vicious circle that excludes only the poor. It is no secret, if Oregon wants to get into Florida's class nd become to the west coast what Florida is to the east coast mecca for both the rich and the ioor, all we have to do is to swallow the Florida idea whole.
