DUNNE SUPPORT GROWING
When the Oregonian said early in the cam paign the
Republicans would have to nom inate a mighty good man
to keep them from supporting General Martin for governor
everyone thought Oregon’s leading newspaper was going
democratic. However, it now surprises everyone by an
nouncing Senator Jot» Dunne is that good m an whom it
will support instead of Martin T hat is a fine compliment
to the Republican's energetic and capable leader.
Since the nom ination of Dunne who is progressive
hut not radical minded, there has come about a unity in
the grand old party that has not occurred In years. Dunne
does uot oppose entirely the so-called new deal of the demo
crats. but he prefers to select m easures founded on com
mon sense ra th e r than political expediency. He has great
faith in the potentalities of Oregon and he proposes to dev
elop her resources along line that will provide employment
but will not build up large indebtedness. He is a forward
looking program.
FAITH IN AMERICA
Faith in America and in ourselves was the real text of
an inspiring address by Merle Thorpe, editor N ation’s Busi
ness. before the thirty-eighth annual dinner of the Indiana
B ankers’ Association. Like other recent expressions of the
country's leading w riters on commence and finance, Thorpe
conveyed a w arning to business not to overdo an attitude
of gloom. With faith regained, he said, there will be a
norm al exchange of what each has to offer the other In
this complex and vital m odern society. And thrift, sacrifice,
and good judgm ent will not be penalized for the slothful
ne’er-do-well and the Irresponsible.”
“We Am ericans." declared Mr. Thorpe, “are impetuous
and im patient, and above all. emotional. Our memories are
so short. Only 5 years ago other nations were sending
commissions, private and official, to study and report And
may I recall to you their findings?”
These, he said, were th at, with only 7 percent of the
e a rth ’s population, the United S tates has more purchasing
power than all Europe com bined; has created and owns
more th an half of the world’s w ealth; consum es half the
world’s coffee, half of its tin. half of its rubber, one-fourth
of its sugar, tw o-thirds of its crude petroleum, and three-
fourths of its silk. With only 6 percent of the e a rth ’s acre
age. this country was harvesting more than half of the
world’s foodstuffs; it extracts 60 per cent of its m inerals;
has developed and uses nearly half of its railways and elec
trical energy, and on Its 600,000 miles of paved highways
operates 92 percent of the entire world output of auto
mobiles.
“After all," rem arks B. C. Forbes, in a rtnancial editor
ial in the H earst newspapers, “the responsibility for bring
ing about better tim es rests Just as heavily upon business
Teaders as upon President Roosevelt. It Is the duty of every
employer, of every responsible citizen, to make the best of
unalterable facts and conditions, and to exert every effort
to keep the country going in the right direction economic
ally and employment-wise.”—N. R. A. News.

The Medford Pioneer Pageant opened this week and is
re-enacting the life of the early settlers. If this pageant
could bring to us vividly the spirit of the pioneer, who came
on foot or ox cart to Oregon.and here made his liv ing from
the native soil amid all kinds of adversity, then the show
will have been of benefit to the people.
The pioneer did not run to his governm ent for help
when he was bothered by depression, drought, pests, wild
anim als or Indians. He fought for himself in a land where
everything was hardship. He had no roads, m arkets, or
factories. The necessities of life even in this depression
are very m uch easier to get than they were in the best days
of the pioneers.
W hat America needs today is more of the intestinal
fortitude of the pioneers.

THE GREAT LIFE
One spring evening some nineteen hundred years ago
a hand of hard-faced men stole out of Jerusalem , crossed
a little valley and made their way into the Garden of Geth-
semane. Armed with clubs and spears, they carried torches
which cast wierd shadows througii the trees, and, though
they doubtless tried to move quietly, the noise of their pro
gress m ust have jangled cruelly in the peace of th at lovely
night. At the gate that opened into a garden on the slope
of the hill stood Jesus of Nazareth aw aiting them. A pa
thetic little company of disciples trembled about Him, but,
a s the heavy steps drew closer and the spear points gleamed
in the flickering light, the disciples melted away until He
was left alone.
Not quite alone.
And there followed him a certain young man, having
a linen cloth cast about hl» naked body; and the young men
(euldl rn or members of the mob) laid hold on him;
And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
These words are our introduction to an im portant his
torical character. The young man who left ills linen cloth
and fled naked was Mark, author of the so-called “second
Gospel.” which, in point of composition, is actually the first.
Before any other mind had thought of it, he conceived the
grand idea of m aking a written record of the works and
words of Jesus.
He was not one of the original twelve disciples; indeed,
he may never have seen Jesus except on th at fateful night.
His m other was a believer. The Iatst Hupper was at her
home.
You can picture the active-m inded boy, lying curious in
his bed in the family room downstairs, overhearing the
wonderful farewell words of Jesus, the final hymn, and the
rustle of preparation for departure. On the impulse of the
moment he jumped out of bed and followed to the Garden.
W hether he was a witness to any of the events of the next
lew days we have no m eans of knowing. We do know,
however, that he was associated for a time with Paul and
later with Peter. Hearing them talk about Jesus, he began
gradually to comj>ose his book. It is a brief straightfor
ward story.
For a time his book was the only life of Jesus. Then a
Jew named Matthew, apparently the same man who had
been a tax collector and was called to discipleship, looked
it over and said to himself; "This book would be much more
useful if it had a lot of Old Testam ent references." So he
made additions, sprinkling his narrative with the phrase,
“th at it m ight be fulfilled as was written by the prophets.”
It is obvious that he was bent on giving the life of Jesus all
the Old T estam ent authority possible.
