Oily Olson Gushes
The Reverend Doctor "Oily" Olson, of Half Moon Bay,
.Cottage Grove, Eugene nnd other verdant fields where he
exploits jointly oil and religion, with more or less profit to
the exploiter, pauses long enough in his location of gushers
by means of a divining-rod and the sale of. stock in the
same to godly members of his flock, to publish as an adver
tisement in a Eugene newspaper a two column- diatribe
against the Capital Journal for its editorial upon Bryan and
the Scopes' trial, concluding with a bitter assault upon the
theory of evolution.
Now the Reverend Olson knows just as much about
evolution as he does about geology, which is nothing at all,
but having taken the Lord into partnership and being an
adept at skinning suckers, he feels fully competent to assail
and abuse those who differ from him, as spawn of the devil.
Listen to this:
This foollnh writer (the Capital Journal pditor) thinks that he can
cling: to Christ and throw away the Bihicul account of creation. Conic
out of tho brush und declare yourself as an atlielflt. Infidel, skeptic
and arch-enemy of Christ, t lie Bible, and the Christian religion, and
tho churches will moot you in the open and deal with you in the
ltKht of intelligence as llioy did with Voltaire, Ingcrsoli and Under
wood, in their day.
Just which of the two different accounts of the creation
given in Genesis the Reverend Olson refers to, is a question,
but there is no question but that his effusion reflects the
sweet Christian spirit of love, humility and tolerance char
acteristic of those pulpit fundamentalists who in airing their
folly and bigotry denounce and revile those whose cardinal
sin is to hold different opinions from infallible ignoramuses.
But where does Underwood come in?
The Reverend Olson might stand a belter chance of
"selling" his obscurantism if lie pursued the tactics used in
peddling his oil swindles, viz: open the meeting with prayer,
ask the special blessing of the Lord upon his rod and staff
of divination, and when by skillful blending of oratory, oil
and gospel, the purse-strings of the faithful have been
loosened, to the tune of "Onward Christiwi Soldiers", close
with a Glory Hallelujah and Hosannns because there is one
born' Very minute.
Notwithstanding the abuse of bone-heads, the Capital
Journal sees no reason why science can not harmonize with
religion, if not with dogma, and in this connection we quote
from a recent address by President K. W. Chase of the
University of North Carolina, where the teaching of evolu
tion is sanctioned:
Scientific conclusions lut have seemed to ono generation hostile
to religion have been seen by (hone who rnnio nfter them as hut
additional tiwlinmnv to tho wonderous ways of Cod. Who now finds
nthchiln in an earlh Unit Is not fixed, but moves; or denounces the
physicist Tor learning Iho laws of gravitation; or hellevoa that to
Kivo up belief In witchcraft In lo give up belief in tho Bible?
North -Carolina Is a deeply and genuinely religious State. It Is In no
denial, rather is n positive affirmation of Its faith, that It has taken
the stand that faith in Cod nnd the free pursuit of knowledge are
handmaidens each to oarli, that Iho priesthood of science ran he at
tho same time iho priesthood of (he living Cod.
you remember that."
After she had gone Cynthia lay
quite still, wondering, what Louella
meant. What cause would she have
lo remember that I,ouella had
warned her?
"She acts as If I'd done some
thing perfectly terrible," reflected
Cynthia. "How could a man so
broad-minded as Jim come from
such a narrow-minded family?"
And yet, after all, had Jim been
so very broad-minded? Cynthia
tried to defend him to herself. Of
course, he'd gono off to Honolulu
with his mother Instoad of taking
her, and he had acted strangely
but then, ho was very fond of his
mother, and perhaps ho couldn't bo
blamed for letting her manage him
She did not want to admit whatj
was so evident, that Jim's affection
must have waned.
She was htfll curled up on the
choice lounge when Cecilo Malcol
Htrodo breezily into the room.
Hello what a luxurious thing
you nre. My dear, will you forgive
mo for being so nasty tho other
night when I saw you at dinner?
I'm crazy about Noel, too. And to
hco you with him, when he's neg
letting mo so
"JJon t say 'too I'm not In love
with him," protested Cynthia.
We're just good friends."
Ceeile chuckled as she rummag
ed through her pookoU for a cig
arette. "Vcs, I've hoard that story
before. Let mo tell you that no
woman can be 'Jiwt good friends'
with Noel Gardner when she goes
around with him as much as you
do. And if you think he Isn't In
love with you, you're not near as
sensible as I thought you wore.
Anyone could tell by the way he
looks at you "
"Oh, Ceeile, please! Just because
you care for Noel yourself, you
misjudge both him and mo. I tell
you we re just f r f e n ds. No w bo
sensible."
"Oh. have it your own wav!

and she said he waa ordering or
chids for you that made her turn
absolutely green with envy." - i-j
Ab Oie orchids were in a bowl on
her dressing table, Cynthia aaid
nothing, t
Ceeile went at last, nfter vain
ly begging Cynthia to drosa and go
walking with her, and once more
Cynthia was left to her own
thoughts. Hhe began to wonder If
she had maJe a dreadful mistake
In tho way she had acted about
Jim. Perhaps It would have been
better if she had insisted on Join
Ing him when she first learned that
ho was to be away for a long time.
Sho could have gone to him with
out letting him know that sho was
coming; once they wore together.
sho felt sure that he would not

surely ho would believe her.
Noel Gardner phoned to ask her
to dino with him, 'tut she refused,
feeling that she must bo alone.
Vivo minutes later a cablegram nr
rived. She tore it open eagerly.
Word from Jim at last!
"Stay with Louella till my re
turn," she read.
"Stay with Louella, Indeed!"
cried Cynthia bitterly. "Indeed I
shan't! This Is tho last straw!"

BRINGING UP FATHER
By George McManus
Going Ahead?
The progressives of Hie cily council are renewing their
five year Hlrugglc lo provide a modern nuto parking statute
nnd thus take Salem out of the hick-town class. It is to be
hoped that the effort will be successful for the capital city
long since outgrew the now obsolete backing-in system that
years ago was discarded elsewhere.
Great bodies move slowly, which perhaps accounts for the
very deliberate manner and the exlrme caution and care in
which this problem has been attacked. But the five years
that have intervened riucc the head-in measure was first
introduced have given ample lime for reflection and we nre
assured that nothing rash will be put-over.
Probably the awkward backing-in system has occasioned
more unfavorable comment from tourists than nny other
leature or halem. Such remarks as "What's the big idea?"
"Where did you get it?" and "This is the worst we've seen"
nre heard daily as traffic is hailed for a block for some one
to reverse nnd swing clumsily backward to the curb.
Of course there is no sense in it but we do a lot of tilings
simply because of custom and fool laws but we would like to
find out tho name of the inventor of reverse parking and get
Dr. Coe to erect n statue in his honor.
Meanwhile the issue is are we going ahead or going
backward?
