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. .

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.
