IX THE DATS NEWS
These words are written on a
, train that is speeding" westward
' from New Orleans. " Outside are
endless fields of sugar cane, brok
en here and there, by tho sluggish
: waters of a bayou. Tho cane Is In
all stages from fresh plantings to
harvest, and the negro help that Is
doing the labor seems to bex In all
stages save that of industry.
Because of boll . weevil damage,
cane was planted heavily in Louis
iana last year as a substitute for
cotton, very little of which is to be
seen. Because of drouth, however,
the sugar content of the cane is
low this year about half the aver
age and since the sugar planter
is paid for bis cane according to
the sugar content he has plenty
to grumble about.
In Canada It was early snows In
the wheat fields. Here it is drouth
and little sugar In the cane. The
farmer. It seems, has the mater
ials for a grouch wherever he
may be.
The rainfall here has been only
about 60 inches this year,' which
qualifies as a, drouth in this part of
the world, .The average precipita
tion is from 60 to 75.
A. Louisiana man, an occupant of
the same car, has just learned that
this writer is from. Oregon.
"Oregon!" he prattles. "I have
often heard that Oregon l a beau
tiful state, but they say the rain
fall there Is terrific!"
This from an inhabitant of. a
state where 50 Inches, of rain is
looked upon as a drouth, ' and
where 70-odd is nothing unusual.
Whereas at Eugene the average
annual rainfall is only S8 inches,
largely concentrated Into four
tnonthal Can you beat it'
The gifted liar who spread tho
tale back la the '50's that it rains
Jt months in the year In Oregon
certainly got circulation tor hhV
whopper.
Oregon needs to spend about
half million dollars In advertising
to broadcast the truth - about Its
climate. ' We are proud of our
rainfall, which makes us tho only
natural oasis In the vast brown
desert that stretches from the
Rockies to the Pacific, but we need
to convince about 114,500,000 of
the 116,000,000 Inhabitants of this
country that it rains Just enough
in Oregon not perpetually.
Among tho passengers aro two
Mexican section hands, ', traveling
on a Dass and making a splurge.
They have a drawing room forward
In tho observation, car,, and have
also one of these vest-pocket phon
ographs and a collection of records
dealing at length and In intimate
detail with the allogedcharms of
red-hoi mammas. ', v . v.
A petition to provide en ade
quate reward for boiling them in
oil. liberally spiced with tobasco.
would be heavily oversubscribed.
Beside the tracks runs a great
highway not paved, for pavement
down here la one of those wonders
Of which returned travelers tell
with awe but well graveled. It
roaches from the Pacific coast to
,k. .,i and two years ago a year
ago, even It was cluttored with
fllwors beating It breathlessly for
Los Angeles.
Now tho tide of travel tin tans
on wheols, fat women In pants that
fit them not wisely, but too well,
bed rolls, coffeo pots and all Is
sotting hoctlcly eastward. Even In
. arrest boon spaces they zip
by at the rate of one or more to
the mlnuto,
. . it,. ht In the
This train, one " -
West and formerly crowded to the
detested uppers at this season of
the year, is practically deserted. Its
occupants largely returning Pacific
coasters.
Why this startling change T The
answer Is provided by just seven
letters of the alphabet. These let
ters, properly arranged, spell
Florida.
Florida has captured the Imag
Ination of the whole country east of
tho Rockies. It Is the now Kl
Dorado.' It spells sudden riches
to everybody except those who are
already there and paying hotel
bills.
It Is the Promised Land prom
ised fervently by thousands of real
estate offices on the most expen
sive corners, flamboyantly decked
with pictures of tropical Florida.
Tho flamboyance of these offices
Is exceeded only by the language
of the page advertisements In the
papers. And the suckers are In
vading them In shoals, leaving be
hind a golden spawn.
Coral Gables, Miami. Hollywood-
by-the-oa, fabulous profits made
In a day, a boom that never will
and never can bust those are the
golden halt and the poor boobs
are gouging each other's eyes an)
crushing each other's ribs In a mad
scramble to buy, sight unseen, lots
of which they know and care
only that they are "somewhere In
Florida."
Barnum was a great and wise
man..
Apply for a berth to Florida on
any of the beat Eastern trains and
you will be told courteously, but
firmly that It may be possible by
next month to get an upper that
Is, If. you get in your order now.
Tou will be told with equal firm
ness that you can take nothing but
hand baggage, for there is an em
bargo on trunks and household
goods. At Miami there is a pile
of, trunks, roles and boxes as big as
Skinner Butte, all hopelessly lost
in the crush and being added to
momentarily as the frenzied thou
sands pour In, for somehow the
embargo doosn't seem to work.
Enter the smoking compartment
or the club car on any train east
of the Rockies, or edge into the
crowded lobby of a hotel, and by
that act you will be Inducted Into
meeting of the I-Could-Have-
Bought-It-When club. By the same
token, the members thereof will be
assembled In a formal lodge of sor
row, telling each- other In grief-
laden tones how sinfully rich they
would be if they had only bought
when so-and-so pleaded with them
to' buy.
The tales they tell are wild
enough, goodness knows. Swamp
land that last year could have been
had for a song is selling now tor
thousands a front foot. Lots double
in price overnight. Miami, a couple
ot years ago a village,' la now a
city of 300,000 to 400.000. depend
ing on how easy , you tell 'em,
Pikers have become millionaires
and millionaires have ceased to
count it.
When will this epochal boom,
this gambler's nightmare, collapse ?
' That la a favorite topic among
those who own no lots. Those who
have already bought do not ask.
for they know know with the
dead-sure certainty of the fanatic
who sees vast riches within his
grasp that it never will collapse.
never can collapse and will go on
and on forever, amen, because a
great and rch country is demand
ing in loud tones a tropical play
ground at any price.
This writer, being a cynic and
being also from the Pacific coast,
predicts that It will collapse, and
the collapse will come just as soon
as the suckers quit spawning. The
mournful I-Could-Havc-Bought-It
When clubs will give way to even
more mournful I-Could-Havo-Sold-It-When
clubs.
Florida is shy on natural re
sources.' It has no coal. It has
no oil. It has no minerals. It has
no water power, the highest point
In ' the state being only a little
more than too feet. Its soil, for
the most part, Is thin, and sandy,
requiring fertilizer if It Is to pro
duce. It has only., climate, and four
months In tho year climate at that.
They are telling the world In fog
horn . voices that Florida Is the
Ideal all-year resort, but they can
tell that to the Marines. The sum
mers are too hot for a white knan.
Tou can't build a great and per
manent development on the founda
tion of four-months climate. If
you are to build permanently, you
must have fertile soli, timber, coal,
oil, water power, raw materials.
Florida has llttlo or none of these
fundamentals for permanent Indus
trial growth. ". ..
It has winter climate and It has
rroxlmlly to the great and rich
cities of the cold Northeast. It will
always be a favorite and wonder
ful winter resort, but you can't
make permanent such a boom as
Florida Is experiencing on four
months of winter activity.
Sooner or later, the way things
are going, the crash must come,
and when It does come It will bo
a pippin. '
As to the effect on the rarlftc
coast of this moonlit Florida mad
ness with which the Knst ami the
Middle West are strlokon. It l
Undeniably grave for the present
It Is especially gravs as ta Cal
ifornia, for Cull for n In la also n
winter resort and as such Its nose
Is now badly out ot Joint.
Speak of California In tho East
and the othor party to the sketch
listens with a cold and fishy eye
and eventually breaks In to ask If
you know what that corner lot In
Miami you say It Moe-ah-mee
sold for the other day and what It
could have been bought for last
week.
Oregon surfers by reason of tho
fact that In tho East all Interest
and capital for outside Investment
have been diverted to Florida.
They can't sco any othor part of
the country back thore.
But California will survive. Cal
ifornia, entirely apart from Its win
ter climate. Is a great state, rich In
natural' resources. It has found
.Itself Industrially and no longer re
quires the artificial stimulus of a
hcllmato boom. Perhaps it will be
all the better off for getting rid of
the tin can tourists.
Oregon does not competo direct
ly with Florida, and hence Is less
concerned. Very few Oregonians
are speculating in Florida lots, and '
so we can stand by and wait more
or less philosophically for the In
evitable crash.
) In casting about for a man to
guide the city out of the present
financial morass In which It finds
itself, a group Of citizenry has acted
wisely In selecting E. U. Lee. As
a first requisite to fitness Ern is a
business man. well versed In the
Intricate details of civic financing.
He also combines progresslveness
with a broad-mtndel vision of the
duties involved, qualities whlct
are essential to the serving of the
best interests of the greater Eu
gene. As the city progresses we
need men ot strong moral flb-e
and broad menial calibre to direct
its affairs and such a one Is E. 0".
Lee, whs, although x'.jctant to
serve because ot reuons of ill
health, has yielded to the wishes
ot his fellow townsmen, feeling It
his patriotic duty to obey the call,
Along with the railway terminal
as a civic benefit. It now appears
that a film colony is to be tossed
Into Eugene's lap for good mea
sure. Local and adjacent scenl;
environment are Ideal for picture
purposes and climatic conditions
are also declared to be a screen
asset Contrary to general be
lief, New York and not Hollywood
is the largest producer ot moving
pictures. The average annual rain
fall In that state Is 58 Inches; In
Oregon, 36.
Two women have done It. They
held up a South Dakota bank and
escaped with 1500. The lost ves
tige of man's prerogative vanished
in the performance of this act by
the female ot the species.
If It were not for this modern
dancing, a lot of our young peoplo
would nover get any exercise.
The worst thing about a cold
In tho head Is the way the possessor
Insists on broadcasting It.

"Many commentators on public I

who feel that he has since August,
1923, been confronted by a hard

no doubt that the feeling exists

obviously not knowing what tho

nt Ideal conditions. I onco rend
n sermon bv otto of I ho great
preacher of England. One thought
was often rellernled. lie In-tsted
Hint Omnipotence ll.elf must
knock l the door of the human
will Hut what ort of an otnnlpo
teuce Is this? Surely If II wero or.
tlindox oiiiulpoience It could at
least break open the door. Hut
the omnipotence of love would act
otherwise. It might pre.cnl Itself
before the door with oblecls of
desire or It might set fire to the
rear of the hou.e.
There are a million way of en.
terlng man's heart without ti.lng
force, tilvo mo control of all cir
cumstance. In any country, nnd I
will guarantee to regnlnlo Its re.
Ilglon. pattern Its polities, rhnngo
Us thinking. In fact, do almo.t
anvthlng not too greatly at variance
wllh Us past.
Jehovah Klotilin. who sll su
preme above the realm of lime
and apace Is tho only being in the
universe unshackled by the chains
of rlrctiuislnnee. Our version
have well nigh hid the truth, but
the highest ami ttlose powerftll
of earths potentates gladly play
the part tlod n.slgns them though
they know It not. In this Conner
lion, I am reminded of Ilin Infidel
w ho raised his hands ulolt and
dared tlod if there bo a tlod lo
bring It down. II wns a silly Ihln-'
to do for (lod wunts hands raised
against him now end rrfu.es lo
u.e force In compelling obedience.
Yet (lod hn other way quite as
effective and far moro Impressive
thotirh ridiculously simple for ac
coutpllshlng hi purpose.
It happened . that In this rnse
the Infidel was bald headed, and
It also happened that there was
fly bussing about Just as tne
Infidel had hurled hi challenge
and stood walling on hi pata and
without a moment s ronslderaiion
down came the hand la swat the
fly. tlod had answered the fool
according to hi folly. It did not
need omnipotence lo anwer hi
boast. It needed Insignificant weuk.
ness. So wo see how easy It Is to
set the human "freo will" against
llself. He willed to hold up his
hand, but tho tlcklo of a fly was
far nior momentous In bis Ufa
than the existence of Ood. Ono of
the most .coil satisfying and spirit
soothing truths given to Us is found
In Paul's epistle to tho I'hlllpplans
3:13-11. He carrying your own
salvation lulo effect with fear and
trembling tor It Is Ood who la op
erating In you to will as well as to
work for the soke of Ilia, delight.
No Independent sovereign will can
ever bo In harmony with Ood. The
bliss of the future will not arise
from Indepondencn. hut freedom In
the dlvlno despotism. Conscious
accordance with (lod Is the only
liberty; freedom outsldo of this
Is only nn Illusion.
To sum up. There Is only ono
Independent "free" will In tho un
iverse and that Is the will of Ood.
This will during the eons agea
Is manifest In two d I.I I net wnys.
through nature and revelation. Hy
nature, mankind has been placed
by Uod In an environment which
lends It contrary to his revealed
will. Naturally man's harltngo from
Adam dispose It against hi man
ifest pleasure. This is (lod In na
ture working out his will In. Die
reulm of subconsciousness. In or
der to perfect Ills purpose men
must not lie aware that they llvo
and move nnd nro In Him. They
must Imagine that they are Inde
pendent deities, well able to match
their wits and wills with that of
tlietr creator. This I the great
democrntio doctrlnn of self-determination.
The fulso "freo will"
which men claim arises from Ig
norance of Ood's ways and of
their own limitations.
Not renllzlng that Clod Is work
ing ugalnst himself in order to lio
como known, they luinglno that
their will Is Independent of bis.
Not being nbln to annlyzo the In
trlcata processes which linderllo
their own determinations they do
ludo themselves into thinking that
each volition on their part In a
creative act, indeed far more than
that for creation Is not as com
monly supposed based on nothing.
Hut man's will Is Itself a creature
of (irciimslnucen nnd can bo
molded and shaped by tho grent
controller of circumstances to suit
his own pleasuro.
Tho case of Paul Is a perfoct ex
ninplo of what we havo endeavored
to not forth In tho foregoing con
sideration. Tiioro Is a tendency to
rogard his enso as ontlrnly excep
tional. Hut the very opposite of
tills Is the fart. Ho In a pattnrn
