BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Or let him take hold of my strength that he may make
peace with me; ami he shall make peace with me. Isaiah
27:r.
Skinning the Grower
Why is it that Salem growers receive less for their fruit
than growers of other sections ?
Why is it, with shippers paying as high as 8 to 17 cents
in other districts for black cherries, Salem growers sign
contracts (which only bind the grower) for two and a half
cents a pound on delivery, plus whatever the shipper wants
to hand out at the close of the season?
Why was it that last year the grower sold black cherries
for five cents and the shipper netted from ten to fifteen
cents, with all expenses paid, in eastern markets?
Salem's cherries are as fine as grown anywhere, finer than
most. Properly sprayed, they are worth as much or lateness
of season, nearly as much as cherries from other localities.
yet the grower barely gets expenses.
The fault lies with the grower. The shippers and
speculators cannot be blamed. They buy as low as they
can and sell as high. They pay no more than they are forced
to pay, and if they can force the grower to hold the sack,
they will do so.
The grower is at fault for failure to organize and control
his product. The grower will continue to sell at a loss as
long as he signs fool contracts or until he controls his out
put, either by doing his own packing and marketing, or by
cooperation, forcing buyers to pay a fair price.
If the grower doesn't help himself, he cannot expect the
speculator to help him. The speculators game is to skin the
grower.
Playing the Pirate
IMcntVir.g Eugene's effort to steal the proposed Southern
Pacific shops from the little sister city of Springfield, the
Eugene Guard says:
In ihoir efforts to secure location of the Southern Pacific carsliops
anil terminal, in accordance witli plans launched a number of yearH
ago, the people of Springfield are well within their rights. In their
cffortH to ohtnin the shois and terminal for this city, the people of
Eugene are on equally sound ground of right. It is, or should he,
purely nnd solely a question of competition hetween the two cities
for a highly desired prize. There Is no occasion for HI feeling in the
matter, or for charges of ulterior motives or had faith on either side.
We of l-Jugene and Springfield have to llvo neiglihors lo each othor.
Wo ought to keep on neighhorly terms. Kach side lo the present
competition ought to concede to the other fairness of thought nnd of
motive. Tho effort is not in the hands of unworthy men on
either side.
This logic might be good if the Southern Pacific had not
only promised to locate the shops at Springfield, but had
already purchased the site. For years it has been regarded as
a settled issue, when along comes a bunch of Eugene boomers
seeking lo grab the prize, without cost to themselves at
$175,000 public expense, simply because Eugene, being a
large community, assumes she can exert more influence with
the railroad and hog all improvements.
No occasion for nurd-feeling on Springfield's part? There
is every occasion for it. Naturally Springfield objects to
being robbed of her principal asset, especially as any develop
ment in Springfield will react to the benelit of Kugene.
"We ought to live on neighborly terms" says the Guard.
Then Eugene should practice the golden rule in her relations
with adjoining cities and cease attempting to play pirate for
her own aggrandizement through the rum of her neiglihors.
Pierce's Holidays
Governor Pierce must be losing his complaisance and
desire to please. After having proclaimed numerous holidays
for such momentous occasions as the opening of the baseball
season, and observances for such important subjects as "old
friends week," ho has drawn the line on proclaiming July 1G,
the diiy of the Elks parade at Portland, n holiday. He gives
as his reasons:
The declaration of a legal holiday Is a serious matter to business
Interests of the stale. It means finnnclnl loss to many Institutions.
Mills and factories, if closed, suffer loss. Hanks closed for n day
moan Interruption of clearances hihI much annoyance to regulnr
patrons. An extraordinary holiday such as this presents serious
difficulties to the funning and stock Interests of tho stale. The
closing down of the mills nnd fartoriea alone for one extra holiday
would result In A loss of not less than a million dollars.
The governor's discovery is n belated one. If a holiday
entails the loss he declares, he has already cost the state a
good many millions of dollars, for this is the first instance
on record of his refusal to proclaim one. Hut the governor
overestimates the value of his ukase and the power of his
proclamation. It is perfectly safe for him to proclaim nil the
holidays he desires, for nobody pays any attention to them
and business runs along as usual despite them.

Prejudice Blinding
Many to Presence of
God, Asserts Shanks
THE END
Speaking on the subject, "When
the Mists Are Cleared Away," at
the First Baptist church last even
ing, Hev. K. il. Shanks, pustor of
the church, Told the story of two
men. who walked with Jesus on
the road to Emmaus the evening
of the resurrection day. Dr.
Sh.'inkB pointed out that J ecus wae
tho "very incarnate dlety walking
among men.
'Men walk wint Uod and are all
unconscious of His presence. Slow
of heart, devoid of spiritual under
standing, blinded and prejudiced
men go on with weary step and
burdened mind, and do not rec
ognizo tho divine one who walks
by their side. He walks with men
today. If wy could only open our
eyes we could see Him in the poor
and needy; in the little child; In
the humble toilers who are scared,
broken to their taeka; In the pa
tient servant who would not be
able to sign our own special creed.
"How narrow men are. How
blinded by prejudice. How slow of
heart so that they cannot love and
believe. When the day dawns and
the shadows flee away, when we
snail know oven as we are known,
then will we be ashamed of our
own small notions.
"We shall know, and under
stand, when the mists are cleared
away."
The morning service at the First
Baptist church was given over to
children's day.
"Do we take Him 'oven as He
was,' or Is He pictured and de
scribed to us by others?" was the
quory raised by Rev. Thomas
Achoson in his Sunday morning
so nil on at the Jason Leo Memorial
Methodist church. "Have we dis
covered Him ae our own personal
companion whom we may take
aside with us where we may com
mune and walk and live. with Him,
or is He thj medieval, the effem
enute, the mysterious, the ascetic
Jesus of ecclesiatical authority
both ancient and modern?"
Hev. Mr. Acheson also raised the
question whether Christ's "sim
ple, kindly life Is the same prac
tical, effective, eym pathetic and
sufficient guide today as it was to
Hfa few intimate friends' who
took him as he was.
Kev. Mr. Acheson used as his
text, "They take him, even, as he
was, in tho boat." Mark 4:36.
To others, the minister said, He
is a Christ of their own creation,
a graven image, omnipotent, a god,
a creature so far above as to be
quite out of reach. Such people,
he fctated, are chocked to read that
Jesus was tired or that He should
say He did not know.
To some Hp Is merely a con
venience, according to Her, Mr.
Acheson, as to tie one who pray
ed, "Oh Lord, help me this time
and I'll never trouble you again."
Those, he said, seek Him only In
helpless distress when the crises Is
past and tucy never think of Him
again until another arises.

Rev. Carl P. Miller, pastor of
the South Salem Fiends' church,:
chosen his scripture reading for
yesterday morning's sermon from
the third chapter of First Corin
thians, and his text from the 9th
verso. The subjects treated m
First Corinthians are various, he
stated, but all may be classified
under the general theme ot Chrls
tioa conduct. In the third chapter
the apostle was concerned by re
ports of the divisions and Increas
ing contentions in the church.
"He tells them they are carnal,
fleshly, natural men seeking their
own interests," asserted Rev. Mr.
Miller. "Tiiey must change these
too seeking the things God has for
them. There must be a change In
their nature. There must a prep
aration of heart as well as of
miud.
"God not only wants our fellow
ship, but lie wants our service.
Before we can do our best for Him,
there must be a change of heart.
If I am to labor with a Holy God
I nnuit be pure in His sight." The
ideal Is to bo accomplished by
falt'i In JeaiH Christ, the miuiator
declared.
Touching on the theme of labor
with God In the home, Rev. Mr.
Miller advocated training children
to read the Bible and to pray. "If
the children were taught these as
they should be," he . said,
would not "eed so many truout
officers, or curfew bells. In tench
ins the children to obey God's
laws they will obey the laws of the
land.

ROMAN EDITORS ELUDE
OFFICIAL CENSORSHIP
Rome, Italy. Italian newspa
pers devoted to espousing the
cause ot political parties opposed
10 fascism, have Initiated a novel
method of serving their readers
with news and opinions criticizing
the government.
Each tlrm an edition of an op
position newspaper is suppressed
by the censors, a subsequent edi
tion prints a modest Item setting
forth the title ot the article which
caused the suppression. But each
title is significant enough to ex
plain the context of the offending
article.
To the Editor: Your recent
editorial upon "the Mexican
Crisis", and the blundering Kel
logg, struck mo as the logical re.
suit of the present administra
tion's policy of selecting lame
ducks like the "great"' ex-Senator
Kollogg for a position requiring
even greater judgment than that
of tho presidency. Ex-Senator
Kollogg was neither a man of
great talent or judgment, a mere
political upstart, so long as he
held the office by will of the
voters. ,
Being a recent Minnesotan and
one who watched the conflict and
then helped voto in a betler man.
I must say that a man who is
discredited In his homo state is
seldom worthy of a higher office.
Certainly none but a bunch of
political parisltes ot which tho
Republican party is overrun (or
the Democrat for that matter)
would be so lacking in national
wisdom.
Surely it Is not surprising that
our exsenator possesses this gall
(and little else) and lacks the
good "horse-sense" to go with it.
But surely, too, It would be a
shamo for Innocent and better
blood to be split for the political
shamelessncss of Coolidge and
Kellogg?
Is Coolidge as lacking in "horse
sense" or just what Is his apology
for selecting tins shadow states
man? MRS. F. H. KESO.

COOLIDGE EXAMPLE
OF PARENTAL TRAINING
New York, June 22 President
Coolidge was cited yesterday as an
example of the value of parental
training by his pastor, the Rev.
Dr. Jason Noble Pierce, who preach
ed at the Fifth avenue Presbyter
ian church.
Paying a tribute to President
Coolidge's parents who, he said,
reared him under the Influence of
a firm, consistent Christian home,
the pastor credited that home In
fluence rather than herldity for
developing the president into a
man of nbsolute sincerity,
The character of the president
cannot be accounted for merely
by the fact that he was brought
up In a free country, attended a
liberal college or had the oppor
tunities and possibilities of growth
he said. 'Those alone are not suf
ficient reasons. We must go back
to the state in which he was born,
to the home in which he was rear
ed, to the influence of his christ
ian father and the abiding influ
ence of his sainted mother."
