IXH!i:i(i HOItV, At a dinner given by the American Unr Association in lienor of Ellhu Root, who recently returned from Russia, Chief Justice Andrew A Bruce of the supreme court of North Dakota was tho principal speaker His speech aroused the enthusiasm and patriotism of tho lawyers present and his speech as a whole was one ringing with patriotism and lovo of his adopted country. He said: "I speak from tho viewpoint of tho foreign born. I, and millions of others like me, came to this country alone and without friends. Wc sponged on all America hud, her free lands, her free schools, and above all her spirit of open hearted comrade ship. She owed us nothing, but she gave us all. We sworo allowance U her flag; her Constitution and her laws. Wo would be miscreants, per jurers and curs if in the hour of her nood we counseled with her eneinh s and were disloyal to her cause." Thero aro many other foreign born American citizens whot.e hearts and thoughts are with and for the Intore.-i of the country whose flug has given them freedom and protection. MORE FOREST BAT TALIONS AUTHORIZED On top of the shipyard strike, th high price of salmon and the wns'o of this valuablo food fish, has come the announcement that A. E. I.afforty will again run for congreas. Portland does not deserve all of these agonies at the same time. It is evident that I.afforty cannot bo so easily disposed of as the fish which wero thrown overboard. Pacifists must read with a lot of satisfaction such twaddle us thl.t from the Berlin Morgenpost: "In America the peaco propaganda grows from day to day, arousing whole classes of the population against one another." What is that but giving aid and comfort to the enemy? cy i j SCHOOL CLOTHES We have Boys' Suits ranging in price from $4.50 to $10.00 All sizes to 18.
