"Without or with offense to friends or foes 1 sketch your ivorld exactly as it goes." ryron. Another Statesman Frederick Steiwer of Pendleton, has announced his can didacy for republican nomination as United States senator. Besides being a resident of Pendleton. Mr. Steiwer is an attorney whose qualifications include being born in Marion county, being a graduate of the Oregon Agricultural College and University of Oregon, of having been overseas and of having served in the state senate. In his announcement, Mr. Steiwer pledges ecomony as every office-seeker does before election, and to "support the splendid administration of Calvin Coolidge." He promises also support for shipping for Oregon ports "but in so doing, will not oppose the president." In other words, as Mr. Coolidge 4s on record against the Shipping Board's policy of developing northwest shipping, Mr. Steiwer cannot be counted upon to oppose this "splendid" program. Mr. Steiwer promises to give special emphasis to "law enforcement" including the 18th amendment, as all the other candidates will promise, but he does not say whether he wHl be the orthodox wet senator voting dry, or become a "militant dry" like Senator Stanfield. since his conversion. He does not say whether he believes in Volsteadism and the turning of the government over to the Anti-Saloon League to run, or whether he favors a modification of the Volstead act to make its enforcement a possibility. The Steiwer statement is disappointing in that "it consists of the customary platform platitudes, with all the insincerity of the professional politician. It is designed to straddle issues and win votes by its innocuousness. There is, nothing original, forceful, sincere or can only be thankful that the party is omitted. The Boomer's Paradise The Florida boom continues unabated. It is estimated that at least 500 persons a day, pikers, prospects and sight seers are flocking to the everglade state, most of them in the expectation of getting rich on of gilded ease. From Jacksonville through southwards, through the semi tinsel stucco towns are springing up as if by magic, town lots are selling at absurdly inflated prices. Gate columns, rows I of palms and macadamized highways are making the east! coast a continuous boom string Florida is not all paradise by any means, neither is much of it beautiful. We quote the recent description of a well- known writer on southern Florida: Thin groves ot pines that have boon slashed and hung with oavthen pots to catch the drip that will be turpentine; lone oaks festooned with gray moss; 'lean and long-horned cattlo knee deep In swamps; mile after mile of unlovely level Innd covered Willi tough grass and scuro palmetto; stagnant river3 whoso block waters nro choked with water lilies: buz-ards: a few long-nosed swine; no fences anywhere; little patches of jungle palms: a boat that is oppressive: rain; un palnted buildings: forlorn cabins: now nnd then a gay stucco liouso built in imitation of Die missions of the Southwest; a few small orange groves; water Hint tnslos of strange minerals; roads rtiade of tiir nnd gravel over crushed stono to delight tho heart of the motorist. Into this region are rushing the boomers and suckers. As long as the tourist stream continues, the settlers can find means of living off them. But when it slackens, tho bubble will burst as all similar bubbles burst for there is no other way in which a living can be made from tho forbidding region whose main assets, sunshine and a salubrious sea breeze, will not provide bread and butter. ECOND WIVE By VIOLET DARE UHKAKGHS AHEAD Tho Phllllj, count ry place, rteeclmrat, was a remarkably beau tiful ono; tho liouso was built on tho airio of n hill, so Hint It over looked a long valley, nnd the Ki'ounda wore spacious. There was a Rolf course, a rifle rane. n swim mine pool that could be one toned for uso in cold weather. Indoor and outdoor lennis nnd handball courts ovorythlnrr that t-ould innlte for comfort and entertainment, An the car In which she rode . awunff u ) the long drive and Marie saw tho low rci roofs of Iiecelnirt ahead oC her, Marie drew a deep breath. Was tho entranco gate through which she had just driven a gate into a new llfo for her, she asked herflclf. The little girl beldo nor was bouncing up and down on tho seat, muldenly childlike, twelve years old ngaln, shedding tho so- phlrttlontion which had so bewilder ed Murio urlng nil the drivo from town. Caroline ran out to the terrace to meet them; she caught her little daughter in her anus and kissed tho child, then held out one hand over Sue'a shoulder to Marie. "I was almost afraid that you wouldn't come," alio confessed. "And I did o want you to, Tliln is going to bo the nlce.t-houc party I've ever had! Delightful people- Rene WlUotighby is here: you re member her, don't you? And the Chnndtcra you know, Catherine Vale; after eho nnd Ilck Vale sep arated ho married Stewart Chand ler. And tho Outons ore coining. Oh, nnd there's one thing more" she waited until Sue had scurried off Into the house, then slipped her arm through Marie's nnd followed lowly with her. "I'm afraid It may be a bit embarrassing for you. I dear, but Billy's staying with some1 people In the neighborhood he 1 and Janny. Do you mind dread fully? Of course, you may not meet them, but if I were you I'd go right ahead Jujit as if nothing bad happened. My first husband Teiepnune 81; Newa 2 Editor and Publisher matter at Salem, Oregon statesmanlike about it, and we blah-blah about the grand old a shoestring, and living a life Palm Beach to Miami and - tropical region, flimsy and - town. and I meet occasionally, nnd wo'ro Just friendly nnd that's all thcro la to It. And after all, It Isn't ns If UNI nnd Janny wore married yet." Mario stopped short; sho felt ns if a Itntfo hnd boon thrust Into her. Sho hadn't counted on tho possibil ity of having to faco Billy ngnin so soon. May bo years later, but not now, when sho's Just returned from getting her divorce In Paris, when sho wasn't oven used to It herself ft would ho too hard! To seo him ogaJn. wllh tho girl who had como between them how could she? And yet. wouldn't It be better to do that, right away, than to put ltnff? It must happen some time, unless sho went some where elso to live. She must puiii mon her pride, foreo herself to have the first hurt over, and then, (he next lime, ft wouldn't bo so bad. "Why, I of eour.'io I shan't mind." sho hoard herself Haying to Caroline; it didn't sound like her own voice, but ot course it must be. "That's the girl! Just faco the whole thing squarely.- nnd it won't bo half so bad as you've feared. Marie, you won't believe mo now. but dome day you're going to look back on this whole experience of leaving Hilly nnd divorcing him and nil that as tho best and big gest thing that ever happened to you. It's making a woman of you. You don't realize that, but It Is. Some day you'll be grateful for It." "Hut it hurts so now!" Marie, told herself, bitterly. All tho heart ache of her break with Wily, nil the hours of suffering that he had made her endure, seemed to come back (o her In one great moment of unendurable pain. She clenched her hands so tight ly that (he pnlms of her gloves split. Their tearing brought her back to herself; she slipped her hands out of them, nnd forced her self to speak lightly nnd as she turned to Caroline. I don't ft I uo to meeting everyone Just now; the trip really tired me," she aald. "Would you mind If I had tea In my room?" "No, of course not. I quite forgot to ask how you feel, how your foot's getting on. Bob said you hadn't hurt it seriously ' "No, just strained the ankle a little," Marie replied; she had quite forgotten that she had hurt it on shipboard, for the moment. "But I do feel that I must rest before din nor." "That's quit all right; I'll send my own maid to you, and have tea brought to your room. I've given you tho blue suite, with tho nice view of the valley; you're going to bo happy there, I'm sure, dear." Caroline patted her lightly on the shoulder. "And put on a lovely frock for dinner I'm anxious to have you look your best tonight." Marie noddod, and followed tho maid who was carrying hor bags up a sido stairway; sho was thankful to go by it instead of taking tho main one, to reach which eho would have had to cross the great entranco hall whero the other guests were sitting. She felt that she must have a little time to her self, to conquor the .rt that had risen In her heart again, and the panic that came with tho know ledge that she was going to seo her husband and Janny again. Would he have changed, since that day when they said goodbye, nearly a year ago? What would he say to her, and what would she say to him? "Oh, I wish I'd stayed In Paris!" she told herself, as she curled up on a chaise longue and stared out of the wide windows, down the val ley that glowed in the aftermath j of sunset.

VflA Sg3& i its i THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON God's Appeal To Man's Reason Is Subject of Sermon by Dr. Shanks "God'a Appeal to Man's hea son," was tho title of the eormon delivered Sunday evening by Dr. 15. H. Shanks, pastor of the First Baptist church of Salem. "In the 18th verse of the first chapter ot Isaiah," he said, "we read those words: 'Come now, let us reason together, uaith the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall bo as white as snow; though they be rod Uko crimson, thoy shall be us wool.' "Taking these words as a whole," said tho pastor, "they seem rather strange. That God should reason such things with me is strange. That there should bo any need of auch reasoning Is strange. That any reasoning should affect tho case Is strange. "There can be no question," ho continued, "about the deep dye of sin. Sin Is disobedience. Sin is un righteousness. Sin is lawlessness. Like the stains of blood on the hands of Lady Macbeth, no effort on our part can clonnse away the guilt of sin. Only God can forgive sin, for sin is against Him, and only Ho can purge it away. Sin carries with It the curse that can be removed by none but God. His promise of absolute cleansing, un til no spot of stain of sin may re main, is conditioned on coming to Him and reasoning. What does this mean 7 " 'Come now, lot us reason to gether.' There are two things to be done. First Is to come. Approach God with reverent awe, and respect and worship. The deep dyed sin ner, if he Is conscious of his shame for sin, will not come in any other jif BHt.m n,M. mcni lH II ? way. "One will not get very far with God until he does realize his un worthy nnd undone condition and his helplessness. It is folly to boast oneself In Ills presence. But the humility needed Is a contrite and penitent heart. "It may bo questioned whether God has much sympathy with tho 'humble worm idea that some folks preach. But n humble and contrite heart Ho will not despise. Como tremblingly, yes, surely, that is tho way. But confidently come. "Confidently, for God proposes to reason the case. He does not In tend to break down man's reason, to set aside man's sense of justice or wound his self respect. Foolish pride needs to be wounded. Wick ed conceit needs to bo cast aside Self complacency needs to be ex posed. But self-respect, reasoning and understanding are never vio lated by God. No man will alt down with liis conscience and God In vain. When God speaks Ho ap peals to the highest sense of justice He asks nothing but right. He de mands nothing but righteousness. He requires obedience to nothing but that will make for our good and happiness. Let us enter the forum with Him. He will not need to reason long, for when He epeaks His voice, His words and His rea son will convince us quickly, and we will bo ready to yield to Him. His holy purpose in this forum is to bring to us the greatest bless ing; freodom from sin. "Happy tho soul that knows sin forgiven, whose record has been made clear and stainless by the supernatural alchemy of His love. Rvery forgiven soul is a witness to tho miraculous, a resurrection from death, a spiritual birth. Dr. C. C. Poling, pastor of tho First Evangelical church of Salem profacod his sermon Sunday morn ing with a short account of his re cent Journey east. His sermon was taken from the text Daniel 6-3 "Because an excellent Spirit was In Him." Dr. Poling mentioned that while on hig trip oast he had visited both his sons, Daniol nnd Charles, speak log in their pulpits, had visited his sisters and preached in Johnstown Pa., In the old Trinity church where he was pastor in years past. Tho church has grown inarvelous ly, ho said, and there are 8 largo churches of the denomination In this city. The reports of the two publishing houses showed a year of great prosperity. Itev. Dr. Poling said he was "glad to bo back in Salem, the paradiso of the west.' Continuing his discussion on the text, "Because an excellent spirit waa In him," he stated that "of all the cconomlums pronounced upon Daniel, this Is the highest and greatest. l does not refer to what he did, but to what he wns. in the depest of all secret chambers of his being The Spirit. 'For there is a spirit in man, nnd the inspira tion of the Almighty giveth it un dcrstnnding.' It can mean nothing less than the whole realm ot mo tive, temper and disposition; the Involuntnry and unconscious man. "In the spirit wo find tho inmost essonce of personality. Histories and biographies of men only can tell us what men have done, but fail to tell us what they have L .en. Tho ego, the innermost man, evndes the limner's nrt and the photo grapher's camera and the writer's pen. The spirit is too subtle and secret, oven when discovered it deflos description. It cannot bo formulated, but wo feel and know. Right in here lies the true being. I What he Is in spirit depends In the main on what he believes.

"In the spirit lies tho quality of the action. God judges men and works by tho spirit of tho worker; hence his judgment Is righteous Wo recognize two aorta of speech: the literal and the spiritual. The latter is usually louder than the former. Tho saying ot tho Scotch man is true. 1 cannot hear what you say because of what you are. Thcro are two outlets and inlets to the man, nnd what surely goes out nnd comes in follows tlte hid den channels." Dr. Poling concluded his ser mon with three inferences: "Firsts, the most potent forces arc tho most noiseless. "Second, that which needs guard ing nnd ennobling is tho spirit 'Keep thy heart with all diligence for out of it flows tho Issues of life.' Wo must scrutinize our mo tives; in fact our only hope Is fi. tho reaction or new birth of the Holy Spirit.
