"Without or with offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." hyron. Proves Nothing A score of men yesterday, in response to a challenge from a non-smoker, hiked 50 miles from Portland to Forest Grove and return. The 60 year old challenger was inspired by the desiro to show the good attained by abjuring cigarettes and tobacco. Two husky non-smokers were first to return, fol lowed shortly by two smokers, after which came the main body led by the non-smoking challenger and numerous smok ing companions. The result doesn't prove anything these tests never do. The huskiest always win. Those who failed to com plete the hike were forced out by blistered feet and sore muscles. Physical condition governs all such contests. The man who overeats has a far worse handicap than the man who smokes. In the law "of nature, moderation is virtue, excess is crime. One man can indulge his appetites excessively with out apparent injury and another cannot even moderately for what is tonic to one is poison to another.. Nature defies all efforts to standardize humanity, either physically or .men tally. , . As no two beings are alike,, no hard and fast rules can bo established for universal observance. Each has to work out his own salvation. All of which shows the absurdity as well as futility of passing sumptuary laws attempting to regulate and standardize people. As Jefferson said --- Millions of Innocent men, women and children, since the intro duction of Giiristiitnily, have been burned, tortured, fined and im prisoned, yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What hag been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools and the other half hypocrites. The Democratic Protest The Democratic state organization has filed a protest with the president against the consideration of Marshall Dana, uplift editor of the Portland Journal, as northwest member of the shipping board. Mr. Dana has never been ac tive in party affairs, his name was suggested by the Port land Chamber of Commerce without consulting the Demo cratic organization, which has waged many a hopeless cam paign and feels a right to a voice in the disposal of the soli tary crumb of patronage that falls from the pie-counter. The action is typically Democratic, for Democrats, like the Irish, dearly love a fight, especially among themselves, and had rather at any time, see the common enemy, the Re publicans, win, than to have victory crown a rival faction. What is the use of keeping the organization alive, paying the bills and supplying the oratory, if the offices are going "to indifferent bystanders? Better by far have a Republican named than a buttinski. This inherent love of the Democrats for a scrap is reflect ed throughout the nation, and the lack of unity accounts largry for the lack of success at the polls. In 1924 the Demo crats had a perfectly glorious time at New York and thereby converted an excellent prospect of victory into overwhelm ing defeat but that was preferable to the Kluxers to having Al Smith elected and to the Anti-Kluxers to having McAdoo thrust upon them. In Oregon there has for years been two factions in Democracy the Chamberlain and the Anti-Chamberlain fac tions, and the hitter's defection in 1920 accounted largely for "Our George's" defeat. But what was the defeat of the party compared to the sweet revenge of the defeat of the opposing faction? Whatever solidarity there may have been among the Oregon Democrats was long ago shattered by the direct primary and its self-starters. Loves Greatest Gift By VIOLET DARE A NKV MAX IX THIS CAS1- Mary was too much surnriflcd And dlHturbcd over losing hep Job iu Lino mum tviiat whs the renwon fop lier (1lAinlin.

She hated tills business of getting ft job; nho had had only three alnce he'd begun to work, but he'd pent enough time looking for work to halo going Into new of fices, being looked over by the ones who engaged new stenographers. 801110 glrbi liked It. Janet Lewi did; she felt that It waa an adven turo that there was no telling whom he might meet In that way. But then, Janet didn't have to work; her father could support her Hho upent all her salary on cloth M and good time. Then, too, Janet didn't want to tny on nt Crnlg mothers, on the chanco that Stewart Howe would come back from Texas before long Thnt made a lot of difference In Mary's case, thounh he wouldn't admit it even herself. She had rather expected that Pat Hamilton would telephone her, after sho ran away from him no abruptly that night when she had dined with him at the Albemarle, He had not done so. Mary was be wildered, not knowing enough about men even to suspect that he Editor and Publisher matter at Salem, Oregon had been amused rather than an noyed at her leaving, had under stood It perfectly, known that she would expoct him to 'phone, and decided to wait until ho en me to town again. Hy that time eho'd bo glad to Boe him again! A girl llko that, living In a shabby apart-ment-houjte of coumo eho'd be glad to go out with him ngnin. He hadn't Intended to take hor to Now York anyway, had just been sound Ing her out. Her nunt sympathized with hor heartily over her position; Mary nlmo.it wished sho wouldn't. For the first tlmo In her lifo oho began to wonder If It wouldn't bo rather nice to live alone, or wth Just one or two other girls. In a little apart ment to do as she liked, manage her own nfrulra have her own latch key, dross as she wanted to. Instead of as her aunt thought she should. That thought urged her on, gave her a new reason for wanting a good position. It took her mind off the humiliation of her experience with Tat Hamilton and the un hap piness caused by hep misunder standing with Stewart Howe. She mnde a list of nds for sten ographer and secretaries from the 'latulfled advertising section, the day after she had been told that flho would be dismissed from Craig mothers tlio week following, and took the next morning to look for work. The first place to which she went waa one In a building rather far from the center of town; the office itself was far less pretenti ous than Crnlg ltiothers! (which occupied a whole floor) and in Its outer room two girls were waiting when she went In. Ono of them wns older than Mary. She looked rather shabby, was plain dressed In a worn blue suit and a small, black hat which looked 0 if she had trimmed It Herself. She looked at Mary anr. iousiy, hufrf turning In her chair to do It. Mary droppod her handbag as she sat down and the other girl picked it up. A few momenta later they were talking together. A girl came out of the Inner of flco, and a man appeared in the doorway for a moment and sum moned tho girl who sat beside Alary. When sho came out, very soon, and the third girl who had been waiting went in, the one who had sat benlde Mary eat down again. I couldn't take the job, It does n't pay enough," she told Mary. "I've got to rent a little before I go on; I've been up since five this morning, and I'm tired to death. Toll mo, do you know anything else that's particularly good anything you don't want, I moan?" Mary shook her head. "All I've got Is a list of ads I toro out of the paper," he said. The other girl nodded. "That'B what I've done, just torn out ads," she said. "I can do better that way than through tho agencies, because I haven't had much regular ex perience. I've been working for my brother, who wrote scientific booka and now he's married married a woman with money, too and they've gone abroad, so I've got to find something else. I suppoo you live hero In tho city, don't you?" Mary said she did. "Well, you've got It better than I have, then; I live out In the sub urbs it takes me nearly an hour to get into town. And I would you mind having lunch with me some where, today somehow, I feel so lonely, and sort of helpless " I'd love to, ' Mary told hor. Then, as tho door of tho Inner of fice was opened again, she said hurrldly "Walt for mo, won't you?" and went In. She liked Stanley Bin it e, the man who wanted a secretary, immedi ately.

America should hold fast to the ideals of those who la'd well its foundations In a proper observance of the hold day of rest, rather than become continental in its practice and standard. "Sunday Is commanded to be a day of rest from labor, a day ot worship and a day of ssrvice to others, it is not intended 10 uc commercialized or secularized or made into a holiday. Commercial ized sports and amusements and unnecessary manual labor" tend to take the sun out ot Sunday rather than make it the bright and happy day God planned it to be.

"It Is not taught In the schools ot men, but only in the school of Christ, it is the rarest of all tho gifts. "Very seldom do we find men who are following closely in the footsteps of tho Master in meek ness and humility; I believe it is tho hardest lesson Jesus had to teach His disciples while Ho was here on earth. On one occasion the disciplos were discussing among themselves us to who would ho the greutcst In heaven; and today wo hear the Game kind of discussion about tho big places. "We are living in a great day of boasting, yet 'pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Some arc proud ot the feathers in their hats and some! arc proud of the rouge on their faces; some are prcud of their fine clothes and others are proud of their old clothes. Some are proud of their education, and some arc proud that they are not proud. "It we would only humble our selves before God, what giants we would be for the Master, and how Christianity would advance In the world, but many Minos our pride hinders the work of the Holy Spirit. "Let us for n few moments look into tho life of John, the fore runner of the Messiah. Jesus said of him, that 'there never was born so great a man as John.' When ho began to preach in the wilder ness, the people out by the thous ands to hear him; finally the priests and the elders of the syna gogue sent men out to usk John who he was, Moses, or Ellas, or the Messiah. He could have said many flattering things about himself but he did not say a word in Ms own favor. 'I nm just a voice,' said John, 'just a mouthpiece of God, crying in the wildernosfl, pre pare ye the way of the Lord.' "Did wo ever nolico the reason Jesus gave for asking the world to learn ot Him?
