BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
And aso that every man should cut and drink, and enjoy
the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God.Ecclesiastes
3:13. 1
"All In the Record"
As expected, now that the United Stales supreme court
lias unanimously decided the Oregon compulsory school law
unconstitutional, and there is no longer fear of losing an
advertiser or a subscriber by expressing an opinion, the
Portland Oregonian is saying "I told you so" and claiming
that it editorially opposed the measure. It cites a series of
editorials printed the week before the 1922 election as proof.
The school bill was the campaign issue both at the May
1922 primary election and at the general election in Novem
ber. Upon it Charles Hall made his campaign and met defeat
for republican nomination. By declaring for it, Walter
Pierce won the democratic nomination and the governorship.
Throughout this protracted eight months of feverish cam
paigning, in which the school bill and the Ku Kiux Klan were
the vital issues, neither the Oregonian nor the Journal ever
mentioned either subject editorially. Both maintained a
fearsome conspiracy of silence fearing boycott by the
invisible empire.
The week before election the Oregonian printed daily a
chapter of a long-winded academic and diplomatic side
stepping discussion of the school bill, which with praise given
its sponsors, might have been taken as either for or against
the measure, until the last of the series, the day before elec
tion, when it suggested the probable unconstitutionality of
this "patriotically" inspired bill. So gentle, lady-like, and
inoffensive was the suggestion, however, that habitual
readers never knew the Oregonian had taken a stand.
Both the Oregonian and.Journal made fine ethical journal
istic examples of themselves in this school bill-KIan cam
paign by placing profit above principle and failing to fear
lessly fight for the right because it was the right. The
Oregonian had convictions, but it was too cowardly to express
them, but there is nothing to indicate that the Journal even
had convictions. By their silence they helped fan the fires
of fanaticism that swept the stale with warring factions.

My Ma trimonial
Vacation by v Dare
Bill Ewlng was un Ideal hoat.
There w;is always something plan
ned for tho entertainment of the
Jordans and me, yet wo wore al
ways at liberty to tlo ns wo liked.
We bathed in the urf(V. danced,
played bridge and tennis and mah
jong. loafed through the beautiful
sunny day.s.
When wo had been there forty
eight hours we tried to leavo; hav
ing Invited ourselves to be gucste
It seemed all wrong to stay any
longer. But Bill Ewing wouldn't
let us go; ho Insisted that he loved
having us thcro, and there could
be no doubt that ho meant it.
"But I thought that you didn't
like women, Mr. Ewing," I said to
him one morning, as he and I walk
ed down to the boat landing. We
were going sailing, a perfect pas
time for such a wonderful day.
"Who told you I didn't like wo
men?" he asked sharply.
"Oh, I just heard It," I answered.
I didn't Intend to let him know
that Nathalie had told me of his
being disappointed in love, and
hating all women as a result.
"Well, whoever told you was
was misinformed he told me. "I'll
admit that women don't interest
me, as a rule, but well, some
times they do," and he glanced
down at me significantly.
I had found out that he didn't
flirt, so I took that glance for
what It seemed to mean. I felt as
if I had had an electric shock. No
other man had ever attracted me
as he did. I loved just being with
him, hearing him talk, watching
him play tennis.
I told myself that I was a perfect
fool. Why should he care for me?
Yet after that moment I felt sure
that he did.
We went skimming over the clear
blue and green water all that morn
fng; sometimes we seemed to be
flying straight into the sun; then
again it was behind us, and we
dashed along In a golden haze that
filled the world.
We walked very little. Bill Kw
ing managed the boat, and I sat
flat in tho bottom of it, with the
spray dashing over mo sometimes.
1 was glad fliat I'd worn a battl
ing suit really the only thins to
go sailing in!
I wished that I could stay for
ever in this enchanted bit of the
West Indies, idling through tbe
beautiful days and nights. It was
dreadful to think of going buck
to New York, to have Virginia nag
at me again, and to keep up the
pretense of being something that
I wasn't. Playing at being rich
seemed more loathsome than it
ever had before.
I let myself Imagine what life
would be like If Bill Kwing really
loved me, and if I were his wife
instead of Jim's. It would be per
fect to stay there on this magic
if land with occasional trips to
Paris and Monte Carlo! I laughed
at myself when I realized that even
his beautiful home wouldn't keep
me contented, and he asked what!
was so funny.
"Just myself," I answered, laugh
ing again.
"1 don't think you're funny." he
told me. "I think you're one of the
loveliest girls I've ever met. Ij
wish I'd met you long asu j
"So do I," I replied. "Every-!
thing might have been different j
then. ' I
"Everything would have been
better," he corrected me. You
wouldn't have had a husband in
China "
"I hop I'd have had one some
where else," I cut In flippantly. I
was a little bit afraid to let him
go on. "I'd hate to be an old
maid."
"You're jiot old enough for that
You'd never bo ono anyway, no
matter how old and unmarried you
were. But tell me what about
this husband of yours?
I told him about Jim our fall
In love at first sight, and getting
married without letting my mother
know, and about how tilings had
just into an awful tangle after
that, and he'd finally got off to
the Philippines without me, ap
parently caring much more about
another wmnan than he did for mo
"So th.tfs all we're completely
detached, and likely to remain
that way, until one of us decides
to get a divorce, and settle every
thing." I concluded.
"And then what? Another mar
riage? That seems to bo the Idea
of girls today marriage, divorce,
remarriage, digusting!"
He was so positive about. It that
I didn't even try to answer him.
He'd been so awfully nico earlier
In the day, and now suddenly he'd
grown disagreeable. -
I waited a little, and then sug
gested that we go back to tho
island. X didn't like having him
cross with me, as ho evidently was
and I thought that probably tho
best thing to do was just to keep
still, and get home as soon as pos
sible, so that he could talk to some
body else and forgot his grouch
at me.
lie took mc back, and went to
his study. He didn't dine with
us sent down word that ho was
working, and couldn't slop. He

JOURNAL WANT ADS PAY
A Merger Needed
The Grange has an opportunity to start an organized
movement for the merger of the higher educational institu
tions of the state by placing them under a single board of
regents which will conduct them as one institution instead
of rival universities. A similar plan is already in effect in
Kansas, Ohio and other states, with great saving to the
taxpayers. The Grange should, however, make its own
investigation and formulate its own program, for little can
be expected from any committee of politicians, such ns the
governor would appoint, for both the university and college
are in politics.
The Capital Journal, during the past fortnight has pub
lished a series of articles by one of its staff, showing some
of the more glaring instances of duplicated courses and
some of the extravagances as recorded by the catalogues,
briefs and budgets of the two institutions. The series could
be extended indefinitely, for the subject lias scarcely been
scratched, but sufficient has been published to show the need
of consolidation.
As the institutions are conducted now they are out only in
competition in many courses, but the various departments of
each complete strenuously with each other to make a showing
in attendance that will justify more instructors, more equip
ment, more money, with tbe result that both are in danger
of being over-crowded and under financed.
The limit of taxation for higher education in Oregon has
been reached and the two institutions will eventually be
forced, by stern necessity, to adopt some program of union
to continue existence.
