GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor mid Puuliwhcr
BIBLE THOUGHT FOlt TODAY
Lenyth of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand
riches and honour. Proverbs 3:16.
Despite the Knocker
For some unknown reason, the Oregon Voter, a Portland
periodical of propaganda, published by C. C. Chapman, has
been conducting a campaign of knocking against the proposed
$640,000 linen mill at Salem. Launching a seven page attack
upon the proposition in the issue of April 18, the assault has
been renewed weekly, either directly or by innuendo.
Just why a Portland publication should waste so much
space and energy in an effort to prevent the establishment
cT a new industry at Salem that means payrolls for the cities
and profitable crops for the farmers of the entire Willamette
valley, is a mystery. A similar effort to establish a linen
mill at Vancouver, Washington, has brought forth no word
of criticism, all of which was reserved for the Oregon
enterprise.
Whatever Mr. Chapman could do to discourage investors
has been done. Marked copies of his magazine have been
sent prospective stockholders' all over the valley. That the
effort has uot succeeded better, is due to the correct appraise
ment of his periodical by the public.
The Voter's attitude is typical of the old Portland, the
Portland that tried to hog all the industries of Oregon and
viciously fought the efforts of the little towns to build them
selves up, the Portland that opposed all other harbor develop
ment and prevented rail rate adjustments, that refused
financial aid for Oregon projects and otherwise failed to live
up to the responsibilities of a metropolis.
The Voter's carping criticism and efforts to destroy are,
however, in marked contract to the spirit of the new Port
land of today, whose leading financiers and businessmen are
actively contributing their time and investing their money
in making the Salem linen mill a possibility, proving that the
rorlland of today is not unmindful of her duties to the state,
realizing that as Oregon develops, Portland grows.
Nothing will assure Portland's future or provide a market
for her products better than to build up a vast textile indus
try in the Willamette valley that is so climatically suited for
it, an industry that will bring population and prosperity for
the entire slate.
Bryan the Bigot
William Jennings Bryan is making a fine exhibition of
himself i:i his campaign against evolution, against science,
against knowledge, displaying that insufferable intolerance
that has ever characterized ecclesiasticism. No medieval
pontiff ever thundered against heresy more vigorously than
he and only the fact that the world has outgrown the rack
and fagot-pile of the inquisition prevents the Commoner from
in-oking their assistance to stamp out "modernism."
And what is heresy? Heresy, in Ibis particular instance,
is religious opinion opposed to the doctrinal standards held by
Mr Pryan The modernist is denounced as a heretic because
h" "believes in evolution, which holds that all life originated
from a common source, rather than in the literal interpreta
tion of the book of Genesis and its special rival ion theory.
"The law of Cod is the law of change," yd Mr. Bryan hay
ing finished, formalized and standardized his beliefs would
have them immutable and unchanged for all time, for every
one else, all oilier interpretations being false, his only being
the true gospel "the world is flat and the sun do move.
He sets himself against change despite the fact that the
world is dvnamic, moving, changing, developing, growing and
progressing. "Daily the veils are being lifted from the face
of facts, that Cod is not only transcendent but essentially
immanent." ,
Christ ianitv should not be as much concerned with
Genesis as with the new leslanient. Both Jesus and Paul
were heretics in (heir day and bitterly opiosed by the
Bryans of their time. The real heresy is the departure of
the church from (he teachings of Jesus, the failure to oppose
war and social injustice and bring about "peace on earth, good
will toward man" through living up to the golden rule.

My Ma trimonial
Vacation byvwetDare
PliAXS GOXK VIUN(J
I didn't, l-'urther seareh failed to
reveal it.
I couldn't help wondering wheth
or Nick's friend Loland had u faulty
wense of "Mine and thine."
it was several dtiys before I saw
Nick, who had Bono to Uo.it on on
busncfrt. I kept thinking about
that friend of his, I'hil Loland,
wondering If ho really had taken
my sold mesh bay and Nathalie's
bracelet tho evening ho went with
us to tho dance club.
And if he had, what were we to
do about It?
Nathalie was really di.stre.ssed
about her bracelet, but refused lo
think that Lelund could have tak
en It.
"That's absurd," she Insisted.
"Ho was a very pleasant younj;
man, very well bred, lie's a friend
of the Williamsons, whom I've
known for years, and of the Phila
delphia Laurences. I'm sure you're
mistaken about him, Nancy."
"Well, perhatfta 1 am," I answer
ed, and resolved not to -let her
know how euro I was that 1 was
not mistaken at all. Wlien Nick
sot buck, I told myself, I'd find
out all about this Leland chap.
I dropped in at Nathalie's the
next evening and found him there.
We chatted about tho various clubs
and theaters and things like that
ho certainly seemed familiar
with them all! Ho had given a
little dinner the evening before at
Leonio's, the very .s.ninrt new res
taurant frequented by the Four
Hundred, and tho namo of the so
ciety woman who had acted as
hostess for him was certainly a
guarantee of respectability.
Yet I had my suspicions.
Nick phoned me as soon as he
i;ot back, and I begged him to meet
me somewhere at once.
"Nick, what about this man
Leland?" I demanded. "Is he per
fectly all right, or is he inclined to
pick up thinys that don't belong
to UimYts'athaHe lost a bracelet tit
oveninqr we went to that dance club
with you and him, and 1 lost my
gold nierih bag with the emerald
clasp and 1 can't help wonder-
iC I took
i life-
Why hot wonder
LhemV" ho asked.
"IJecauso I know belter. Hut I
havo wondered about Leland, es
pecially since you told mo that he
hasn't mueh money but goes
around with a wealthy crowd."
"Well, I don't know anything
about him, but I do know that he's
pretty much up against it. I saw
him this afternoon, and ho want
ed to borrow some money. Haid lie
gave a dinner at Leonie's tho other
evening, rather unexpectedly. Vou
know, that place is owned by a
man who gives tho names of the
women who dine there to the so
ciety reporters. He knows lots of
society people and has done pretty
well in getting them there.
"It seems that Leland was alli
ed to dino there the other even
ing by Mrs. Winton, the young
-Mrs. Winton. There wero three
other men and several debutantes
in tho party. When the check was
brought the other men wero darn
ing. She handed It to Leland and
said: 'You'll settle for this, won't
you? The boys always do. Then
you can be host at the dinner
won't that be fun?"
"Tho check ran welt over two
hundred dollars, with the wine and
all. and Leland was pretty well
stumped; hadn't a cent, as he had
been had hit last week in the stock
ma rket."
"Hut why does he try to go with
people like that?" 1 a.kod.
"Oh, just because he likes to. I
guess. And there's ahuM n hope
of a rich marriage Just ahead, you
know. lie's attractive, dam es well,
and young men are U to few
the.-o days.' Ho probably figures
that If ho can last throwu
year he'll get his reward.'
"I think that's disgusting." I
exclaimed. And yet was i y
moro disgu.-ling than tho game th.it
I played? If Virginia had had lu-r
way, I'd havo been angling for a
rich hu.-djand Just as Leland was
angling for a rich wife.
Wo had gone to the Plaaa to
have tea and dance, following vut
my plan of letting Nick's wile's
friends see us and tell her.
What I hadn't counted on wae
seeing tho lady herself. Hho canto
in with two other very pretty sir Is
and sat not far away from us, Sho
...r.u i.miit Ifnllv dressed. an 01:-
i 11 fed 10 looking' thing. She lookuA
as if she d had someone 10 uiko
,.p hr.f I'i'niii tho dav she was
horn, as if she'd never had to won
der about money, never nau 10
a:ik for anything she wanted be
cause it was given to her without
her asking.
I wondered what it would bo
like to fel like that.
.She spoke to mo very sweetly,
..... ik- I know that she hat
ed me. because she thought I had
iNiuyht Nick a heart on tne reoouna
after she divorced him. Well, I
honed she was woriied-lt would
do her good!
"Hadn't you belter ask her to
dancoY" I said to Nick. "1 m sure
she'd like it."
"That's why I'm not going to
u ..iw..-r.i'oil "I'vn Mlvvavs tried inv
best to do what she wanted me to
I think that was one reason why
I lost out wttn ner.
"Well, next time you set a
ehanee, trv the cave man line," I
suggested, "she'll take you back,
you know; she wants to now."
Possible" he replied. "Hut I
don't know that I want to go.
't u'ro very attractive yourself,
Nancy.
