Same Old Story
Below is reprinted an editorial from the Portland Journal
relative to the failure of Portland, one of the richest' cities
per capita in the country, and metropolis of Oregon, to sub
scribe her agreed and guaranteed quota in the proposed
Salem linen mills to develop the textile industry for the state.
It is no fault of the Portland Journal that Portland utterly
fails to live up to the responsibilities of a metropolis, that
she still pays dog in the manger and hog in the trough,
when it comes to upbuilding industry and developing
resources, outside her own city limits, for the Journal has
done its best to awaken the city from her sleeping sickness.
...
We of interior Oregon who raise the food to feed Portland
supply the market for her manufactured products, and the
profit for her jobbing houses, had learned through
years of sad experience the futility of expecting any better
assistance from her than a hot-air, hand-shaking, wind
jamming excursion to discover us every few years. When it
came to money, we had to dig it up ourselves from other
financial centers, for the development of Oregon has been
financed from other sources than the metropolis.
However we had been so frequently assured that Portland
had seen the light and the village of yesteryear, with its
limited vision and self-centered selfishness, had been reborn
and full of the spirit of community cooperation and state
uplift, was just rare-in' to go to the assistance of her tribu
tary region, that, as hope springs eternal, we began to believe
it. We put it to the test and now are disillusioned.
San Francisco capital has built up and developed Cali
fornia and no California town appeals in vain to the city by
the golden-gate to help unlock natural resources or develop
industry. Seattle has always a helping hand for enterprises
in her tributary territory as does Spokane in hers, but
Portland's millions go into her own sky-scrapers or other
ventures within her own limits.
Someday perhaps, when enough new blood and new money
has lioured into Portland's over-flowing coffers, and men of
broader vision have replaced her myopic pawn-brokers, the
over-grown and top-heavy metropolis may realize her mistake
and cease trying to become a city state but recent develop
ments indicate that day is still in the distant future.
However Portland's failure to cooperate does not mean
the abandonment of the linen mill enterprise or of the effort
to create a huge textile industry for the valley. It will
merely force a change in plans. The enterprise will go
forward, perhaps on a slightly smaller scale, and with
necessitated modifications, to a successful termination.
If there is not a new Portland, there is a new Salem and a
new spirit of cooperation in the valley and if Portland refuses
to aid us, we will adopt the old territorial motto and "fly
with our own wings."

One of Noel Gardner's predic
tlonfl was a euocewful one; It was
only a day or two mil 11 Cynthia
once more could lake hoi place In
the world. Tho fact that -ehe had
but little desire to do so did not
keep her friends ami relatives from
insist Ins on cntortalnlnx for her,
Jlrn's second sister, who had hut
recently returned from abroad,
made things even more complicat
ed than tiny had boon before.
She wns dressing for the ten thai
I.ouella hnd threatened to (five
when Noel ' Gardner called her up
8 he had it of; seen him since the day
on which he hnd advised her o
fry to pntqh tilings up wllh Jim.
although each morning he hail sent
hor flowers and had asked for her
over tho telephone. .
She heattated n moment when he
asked it h,e might see her that
day. I
"IT s most tmportant." he ur;;ed.
"I wouldn't ask you if it weren't."
"I could come in to your office,"
she told him. "Would that do 7"
She had felt that ho rebuffed her
at their last meettmr, and had de
cided t" bo cool and polllo In fu
ture so far as It was poHnihlo to ft
man'' who had risked his life lo
save her own.
Very well: I'll he In all day,"
he answered. If he was disappoint
ed nt not seefnK her nt home he
Kave no sin of It.
She stopped nt his office on the
Way to JOuellii's,
I want to nk you If you'll sell
that stork you had me buy from
your mother-ln-Iaw fop you." he
beirtn. aa soon as she had seated
herself beside his desk. j
"Ji y I hadn't thought of sell
ing It," she answered slowly.
"I realised that. But If you would'
I'll be glad to tmy It of you that
is If you don't mind taking part
of the money now and taking my
note for the rest."
Do you want to buy it because
you think I need the money, or be-
causo you want the stock?" she
asked him bluntly.
He did not answer at once, and
she knew that he was trying lo plan
a reply that would hide the truth
from her.
"Well, I've always hoped to con
trol all the stock in tho company
at some time, and the only way to
do that Is to buy It back gradual
ly," he answered firmly. "Of
course, I'd like to own yours,"
'You speak as if It was impos
sible to believe that the stock was
inythfng that anyone would
want," he told her, laughing. "Of
ouiho I want It. I'm sorry not to
pay you in full at once for It, but
you won't have to wait long."
Jfe watched her closely as she
aat without speaking for a moment,
trying to decide what to do. She
could not explain even to herself
her hesitancy over selling the
stock. She had not wanted it in the
first place, hud bought it only so
that her mother-in-law would stop
fussing over having bought it. Yet
now she felt that she mut not
grant his request and let hi in buy
it back.
She rose at length still undocld-
ed.
"I.et mo wait until tomorrow to
decide, won't you?" she aflkod. "X
can't seem to make up my mind
just now."
Well of course I'm eager to
have the thing settled, but if you
insist on waiting "
'Oh, don't think me unreason
able, but somehow I can't say that
I'll let you have it now," she in
terrupted. "I'll phone you the min
ute I decide what to do."
Sho walked to Iiuella'a despite
the fact that she still did not feel
.strong. Sho could not escape from
tho iccliug that there wa some
thing she must know before sho
decided about selling; the stock
that Noel wanted. v ,
Louellu's tea was exactly like eo
many others that she had attended
that she was not at all interested.
It was only when Stanley saunter
ed In, nodded to his wife, and sect
down besldo Cynthia that the af
fair became Interesting. For his
first words after he had greeted
her, concerned the matter that was
on her mind.
"How do you feel now about that
stock you had Gardner buy back
from Madame Leland and sell
you?" he aked. "Oh, the secret's
leaked out don't look bo surpris
ed. But you're not such a finan
cier as you'd supposed are you?"
She stifled her first impulse,
which was to ask what he meant,
and pretended that she knew.
"Perhaps it looks different to
you than It does to me Stanloy,"
she said.
"Perhaps but with that whole
sub-division In the fix It's in now,
with the land right next it sold for
factories, I'm glad I don't own It,"
he replied. "Gardner thought It
was going to be the smartest resi
dential district In town and now
he'll be cleaned out, for he's put
every cent he's got into it. Hope it
doesn't hit you awfully hard."
"Oh, not at all," Cynthia retort
ed airily. So that was Noel's rea
son for wanting her to sell he
thought he could save her money
for iier, somehow, even though he
lost all his! "I wonder if Lou el la
would mind If I ran away now;
I'm still half an invalid."
Louella excused her, and she
made her way to the street. Half
a block from Noel's office ahe dis
missed the car.
Tho office had been closed for
the day. Noel was sitting at his
desk, his head In his hands. He
looked up suddenly as she appear-;
ed in tho doorway. .
"I've decided about that stock, j
Noel," she eald quietly. "May I
come in and tell you what I'm go-I
ing to do?" I
Truth and Purpose
Subjects of Sermons
In Salem On Sunday
Discussing the question, "What
Is Truth," Rev. H. D. Chambers,
rector of St. Paul's church, yester
day declared, "This question Is be
ing asked today by many. The
question today is more difficult
than In the past, because the field
is so much larger." Rev. Mr. Cham
bora took for the text the passage
from St. John, "Pilate said unto
him, What is truth?"
Some who ask this question still
continue to attend church, declar
ed Hev. Chambers, and some have
ceased to attend, and many who
attend are indifferent to it. Others,
he said, seem to have reached the
conclusion that tho religious prob
lem, Important aa It is cannot be
solved.
"Is it to be wondered at," he ask
od, "that this is the condition?
There are so many voices, conflict
ing, differing. So many schools of
thought: so. many differing leaders;
so many sects of many names.
There are the constructive and dee
tructive critics, the many and dif
fering interpretations of the Bible,
the many different doctrines, each
claiming that all others are wrong.
Is It any wonder that people ask,
'What is the truth?' "
No one age or school of thought
reflect the whole truth, he said,
because "we are limited In our
point of view, and subject to!
change. If we could view the whole
subject from all ages we might j
find a better conclusion. j
"Many attempts have been made.
and are being made to confine all
truth to one party or sect, and as
time goes on we see how we nave
failed in any or all attempts to con
fine truth. All contained possibly
some gorm of truth but are, to say
the least, partial. No one age or
school of thought can or does re
fleet all truth.
"Here, then, comes in the
Christian religion, which is not a
sontiment or an emotion, but the
everlasting truth as taught and ex
emplified in Jesus Christ. It is the
Christian doctrine that He lived
before alt worlds, in every age, and
will live forever. Then in this
light we may view the centuries.
Jesus Christ told his followers be
fore He left the world that he
would provide them and their fol
lowers with the Holy Spirit which
should guide them unto all truth.
He seems to be traveling the great
highway of the ages, speaking not
to tho few followers gathered in
Galilee, but to every age, when
multitudes should come from tho
east, west, north and south to sit
at His feet."
"Called For a Purpose," was the
title of the sermon given by Rev.
F. W. Launer of the local Evan
gelical church located at 17th and
Chemeketa streets, Sunday morn
ing. Rev. Mr. Launor used for his
text the 16th verse of tho 26th
chapter of Acts, "I have appeared
unto thee for this purpose, to mako
theo a minister and a witness."
The pastor related how Paul ap
peared before Aggrippa and told
the story of his life as a persecutor
of Christians, and acquainted Ag
grippa with the facts connected
with his conversion to Christianity.
"He made a decided impression
upon Phellx and the court," he
said.
Christ had appeared before Paul
converting him from his former
ways, for a definite purpose, Rev.
Mr. Launer said. First, that he
might be converted and made a
minister. "The world was In need
then, and Is In need now," he de
clared, "of true ministers." Second
Christ appeared to the young per
secutor fn order that he might be
made a witness.
"Every Christian should bo a
witness," said Rev. Launer. "We
should be Imitators of Jesus Christ,
who was the faithful witness.
"God called every one in this
house," he declared, "for a pu r
pose. Thera is not a boy or girl
that does not have a purpose. Will
you give your talent to another?
Will you be ready and willing to
go out in the name of your Savior
and be labelled a child of tho liv
ing God?
"The question becomes a person
al one. Has Jesus Christ appeared
to you? If so he has appeared for
a purpose. Hear Him as He speaks
to you, as he spoke to Saul or
Tarsus centuries ago. 'I have ap
peared unto thee for tills purpose,
to make thee a minister and a wit
ness.' What have you been doing
for Christ?"
