"Without or with offense to friends or foes 1 sketch your world exactly as it goes." byron. For the Shipping Board The Portland Chamber of Commerce has recommended Frank Shull of Portland, manager -of the Pacific Flour Ex port Co. as its republican candidate for the United States shipping board vacancy caused by the enforced retirement of Bert E. Hancy, and Marshall N. Dana, associate editor of the Portland Journal as its democratic candidate, for con sideration by President Coolidge in making the appointment, which by precedent should go to an Oregon democrat. The selections are fine. Mr. Dana is the best qualified for a shipping board job because he knows nothing about ships, his maratime experience being confined to rescue cruises on the lifeboat Uplift, manned by the sob squad. Ip it, he has had some heart-breaking voyages as the maud lin waves dashed high on sentimental seas. This however should not disqualify him, but make him eminently accept able to a president afloat in goose-grease. Mr. Shull will probably not be considered for being in the export shipping business he could not help learning some thing about ships and commerce, and hence becomes inelig ible. In fact, if familiarity with the water barred Salem's own self-starter candidate, "Bath-House Bill" Purdy from consideration, what chance has an honest-to-God shipper on the political seas sailed by the board? Whoever is appointed will have to wear the Cooliilge collar and help destroy northwest shipping or else walk the plank for lose majesty as has been Bert Haney's fate, so it makes no difference who is the accepted and annointed one except to the appointee himself. In this connection, it causes some wonderment, in view of the great administrative and real executive ability that Frank Shull has demonstrated in public affairs, such as res cuing the school situation from the chaos of Klan control, that he is not brought out for higher office, say as gov-, ernor or senator. His superiority to most candidates is ap parent. He would command stale wide respect and do much to restore public faith in public officials. It is not the ship ping board that needs him, but Oregon. A New Warden Having made two failures in his choice of prison wardens, Governor Pierce has appointed J. W. Lillie, former sheriff of Gilliam county and present deputy warden as prison executive. Mr. Lillie is not a professional ''humani tarian" nor a swivel chair warmer, but a practical disciplin arian, who does not believe in making a penitentiary a coun try club. Mr. Lillie has fairly earned the opportunity to be given a chance. Such order and discipline as has existed recently at the prison has been due principally to him. Had he had his way, the tragedy of the prison break would have been averted. He deserves the support of all in his reform ef forts. . Whether the new warden makes good depends largely upon the latitude given him. Divided control and political interference and a useless and meddlesome parole officer can only spell a third failure. But the public can be assured of one thing in case of a break the warden will not flee to his residence for security or hide behind oil barrels, while pris oners shoot down guards, seize weapons and escape unpur sued. It was the prison break and the expose of official in competency following, that forced the reluctant governor to change wardens. First, however, the old warden was given a vacation trip east at state expense as a reward of merit which seems to have become part of the perquisites of slate office nowadays. . Loves Greatest Gift By VIOLET DARE A UKAHTnUHAKING IHiOW Mury sighed with relief as she eank down In a corner of the ele vated train, which was almoBt omit ty. Jler one IhoiiRltt alnco she rose from tho table in the restau rant whero ahe had sal opposite Hamilton had been only to got away, as fust nnd as far as pas-ulblo. Now, fighting bark the angry ton. -a Hint enmo to her eyes, she tried to fuco tho situation. She was as annry with heraelt as alio wan with him. What & fool she had boonl All ready to marry a man ahe wasn't In lovo with, If ho ask ed her, Just because he had monoy, nnd was fairly attractive a man much older than she, with whom alio could have only a few uitorosta In common. She ant there, her face hot with shame, staring down at tho tene ments past which the train rushed. How could ahe have been such a fool, she asked herself angrily What If hor aunt and Hilda I.rwrln had urged her on that shouldn't hnve mattored. She should have had more self-respect, more char acter, than even lo think of marry -. lng Hamilton, it he had asked her. And what must he have thought of herl No doubt ho knew what was In her mind, and had laughed to himself about It. She could not boar to believe that he had thought her the kind of girl who would accept the Invitation he had given her to go to New York with him, aa he had riven it. Oh, surety he had realized that alio didn't un dersanill It took an hour to ride home on the elevated, but to Mary It seem ed hardly more than a few mo ments. Hho wan trying to conquer her feeling of humiliation and hamo. Homo at lastl Sho was glad to walk down the familiar street, to coino to tho big old apartment, lious where sho has lived so long, nnd go In. Her aunt spoke to her sleepily from the front bedroom as she opened tho door; Mary ans wered, and wna tiptoeing down the long hall where her nunt spoke again. "Have a good timer' she asked In a low voico. "Oh yea!" Not for anything In tho world would Mary have admit ted tho truth. Well, It had been a good time, good for her, because It had tnufiht'her something that sho would never forgot as long as sho lived. It had saved her from making thut terrlhlo mlstnke again, She had learned her lesson, she told herself, as she undressed In the dark so that ahe woul 1 not wako Lulu. Once and for all she had learned it, and he wouldn't mnko the mistake again that she hnd made with l'at Hamilton. When sho had got Into bed she gave In to the disappointment that wwent over her, and lay there, sob hlng, bitter over the thought that Ahe wouldn't have the things she hnd thought for a moment she might have. Other girls had all of tltom went abroad, had pretty clothes, good times, without work ing for them. Why couldn't she? She'd never done anything wrong, hnd lived tho best slip knew how, always gone to Sunday school, to EfiP church, been a good girl. And this was her reward to go on grubbing away in a dingy office, day after day, and come home at night to just the same old meals and talks with her aunt tnd bed. Oh, how she wished that Stew art Howe really cared for her, as she wanted hlra tol Well, perhaps he would. Their misunderstanding would blow ovor. straighten Itself out somehow. That was the way things did. She'd see him at the office in the morning, and something might happen then. She fell asleep at last, fairly happy. She was a little Ititii at the office tho next morning. She had ovor- fllept and hadn't got her clothes ready the night before as she usu ally did, and everything had gone wrong. She hurried on, with only a glance to.var.1 Stowart Hawe'a desk. It was still closed. One of tho other girls strolled over to her with somo papers. "Will you make out these re ports? I've got such a lot to do, and you won't be so busy this morning as usual, Mr. Howe won't be here," she said. "Yes, I'll do them." Mary took them, and wafted, hoping she'd ex plain. "He's gone to Texas," the girl' went on. "His father's awfully alck and ho had to rush down there. Took a train last night somebody phoned the office about it, and Gertie was on the switchboard, and listened in. I suppose if his father dies he'll Inherit alt the family money." Mary was off on the wings of dreams again. She'd never thought much about Stewart's having mon oy: he'd never referred to it, nnd a person wouldn't have known from the way he acted that hla people were rich. After all, it was the right thing that happened to you, in this world, if you just lived the right way. It was Stewart she cared for, and always had. And she knew that ho liked her. Sometimes she had been sure that It was more than that. Perhaps, when he came back she smiled happily, and went to work, conscious that the eya of the office manager was upon her, . But Stewart Howe did not return at once. Word came from him tol the president of the company whose secretary told the office manager, who told somebody else, so that he would not be back for at least a month. His father had died, and it would tako some time to settle the estate. ' "He won't ever come back." an nounced the girl whose desk was next to Mary's. "Now that he's In herited all that money, he'll marry ho mo clinging vino of a Southern girl who's never done an honest day's work In her life" which was hardly fair to Southern girls in gen eral! "ana we'll never see him again, unless he strolls In on his way to Europe to let the president meet his wife." Mary didn't want to bollcve her, but could hardly help It. After all, why shouldn't ho do just that 7 Why should he care for a girl like her? She felt as If life held very little more for her, somehow. It would always be dull and disagreeable, as it was then. "I mustn't feel this way; I must do my very best with my work, and mako It amount to something to me," she told herself. "There aren't many Jobs as good as this one that I could get." Sho learned the truth of that statement the following week when alio lost the job, and -had to hunt for another one. Tomorrow A New Man In the Case, Miss Sarah Jeall, a mathematic ian, and the only woman now con nected with the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, has recently completed a book which Is a com plete history of the astronomical work of the survey since 1846.
