Matthew 9:16. For Uplift and Shake-Down Next as a public nuisance to the drives bequeathed us by the war for the support of projects that ought to have died with the war, are the various "weeks" initiated in behalf of welfare and other movements, each of which appropriates itself a seven day period to bask in the spotlight of free publicity. The drives have as objective a shelling out and the special "weeks" are for spreading the preparatory propaganda for the touch. We have a "week" for most every thing now, and a rational organization in its behalf. Some philanthropic person, usually a woman, is flattered or coerced into accept' ing a state chairmanship and she in turn appoints local chairmen, whose chief duty is to work the local newspapers for free publication of the blah, bull and bunk turned over to them in endless quantity. These efforts to enlist mass support through special "weeks" are not confined to proposed better homes, hotter babies, better this and better that, or to clean-up, point-up, brush-up and dress-up, or to inducing greater consumption of apples, raisins, wheat, or what-not, but have been utilized by go-get'em manufacturers to boom sales, and stores are expected to step-on-the-gas to push the especially selected article during the chosen period. We have so many special "weeks" nowadays that the year is not long enough to hold them and they overlap, duplicate and double-up on each other, much the same as our various boards do in their management of state affairs. Life is not only one drive after another but the year is lengthened out for the uplift and the shake-down far beyond the original - 52 weeks. Now Up to Salem Rapidity with which Portland business men underwrote 175,000 in stock subscription as Portland's quota of the proposed Salem linen mill is conclusive proof not only of their confidence in the project but that the metropolis is at last sensing' her duty and obligation to the state, and her recognition of the patent fact that the more Oregon grows, the greater Portland will become. This Portland subscription places the success or failure of the proposed enterprise squarely up to Salem. If the city fails to raise her $300,000 quota, she will have demonstrated that she is lacking in the enterprise, progressiveness and vision that creates cities. She will lose her opportunity to control and dominate a prospective great industry that promises to upbuild both city and state. Many of our well-to-do investors and capitalists have not as yet subscribed a cent to the proposed linen mill, although better situated so to do than many who have gone the limit of their resources. Some of these are heavy investors in industrial projects in other cities, where their money makes possible payrolls and progress. It is to be hoped that they will at least do as much for Salem industry as residents of Portland are doing. Their attitude has led the Woodburn Independent to remark: . Salem is still short of the arquirement of the rcquintte amount of lock subscriptions for a linen mill. We would nUKKrst that Wood bum ba permitted to contribute the balance due and the mill be located here. Tho live citizen of Salem who subscribed could move to this citr. but we prefer that the dead ones remain where they are. But Salem cannot now afford to be placed In the quitter class. Give the Cherrlans a reasonable eicuse to appear In the Rose Festival parade In Ray raiment and with a "llnon mill" banner flvinir. They would not care to reprxent the City of the Dead or the un progressive City of Patches. In fact. Salem has (one too far and must make Rood and possibly has by the time this appears In print In embrac ing a moat fitting opportunity to make It the second citr in com mercial Importance In the stale. Either that or lue the Inritatlon.

For on the steps, cocktail shak er in hand, was the man I'd called Michael, looking up and down tne street like a cat from which a motive hns Jus, escaped. "Sre cne for Njncy!" I naid to myself.
