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.

Tho Phllllj, count ry place,

An the car In which she rode

nor was bouncing up and down on
tho seat, muldenly childlike, twelve
years old ngaln, shedding tho so-
phlrttlontion which had so bewilder

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.

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

have the first hurt over, and then,

"Why, I of eour.'io I shan't

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

Marie, you won't believe mo now.
but dome day you're going to look
back on this whole experience of

and nil that as tho best and big
gest thing that ever happened to

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. "Why did I ever comei

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 fact tho most eloquent speech is
often made null and void by the

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

Dr. Poling concluded his ser
mon with three inferences:
"Firsts, the most potent forces
arc tho most noiseless.
"Second, that which needs guard
