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.

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

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. For one thing, he was frank
with hor.

LESSON, TAUGHT
ONLY BY CHRIS!
"There Is m iuison harder to
learn than the lesson of humility,"
Kev. F. L. Cannell of the West Sn-
day. Tho 18 states which have the
best Sunduy laws have S per cent
forolgu-born population. The IS
having the weakest Sunday laws
have 14 per cent foreign born,
while four statetf, Arizona, Mon
tana, California and Oregon, hav
ing no Sunday laws, are reported
to 23 p-Jr cent foreign born popu
lation. 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. Tne
(rrowiue laxltv of Sabbath observ
ance may have some relation to
the increase of crime, the aisre
unect ot authority and the rever
ence for divine things. With the
sotting apart of this ong day in
seven as a day of rest and re
creating tho exhausted minds and
bodies and tired nerves and above
all as a day ot church-going and
worship of God and service to Him,
wil come tho blessing of strength
and Joy from this day as provided
by the Creator in the beginning."

MONDAY,
lem Methodist ctiurcli told his con
gregation Sunday morning. "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? Ho could have,
