( Welcome home, Dan, tbere la noth-( ign with the boundaries of Oregon too good for you and Arthur Swift You made the fight for honor, tor right and you are entitled to the splendid opinion and pretty compli ments now being showered by a peo ple who entrusted you with a duty to perform. The Evening Observer again rejoic es over the fact that the Eastern Ore gon delegates made good In every phase of that convention which was Impregnated with unfair dealing, with double crossing, with thwarting oi the people's expressed wish and de sire. Boyd and his colleague, Swift, re fused to be parties to crooked work; they refused to disobey the Instruc tions of their state in letter or spirit and as a result many politicians In Or 'gon of the Thomas McCusker type are trying to discredit them. These politicians, cheap as they are, will never succeed, because the rank and file of the voters know what is right politically. The day has gone by when a few can attend a convention, fix up the slate, trade off federal Jobs, nom inate a ticket through trade and traf fic and return home expecting the people to vote for what they have done. In Oregon, at least, every act of a delegate or an official Is scniltnlied carefully and the people pass a right eous Judgment upon such acts. Those of the delegation who were Influenced by federal Jobs and other political trickery must stand before the court of public opinion and take their pun ishment. Boyd and Swift were not of .that stripe. Not only has Wallowa and Ra ker counties a right to feel good over the actions of their sons but the bel ter element of people throughout Ore gon share In that tame feeling. Again we say, "Welcome home, Dan, there's nothing too good In Oregon for you." PATRIOTISM AT rOBTLATD. The Elke at Portland art giving a living example of splendid patriotism. They are upholding the old Bag, and teaching the younger generation what It means to be loyal, and at the aama time having a Jollification the like of! which has not been witnessed on this coast before. Great is the Elks' lodge. It couples the sublime, the patriotic and fun all In a chain of pleasure a chain which means a square deal to all men, a chain whose links sparkle with the good things done by Individuals and omission of the bad. Big men of the nation are always prominent In Elk affairs and Portlanl is enjoying the distinction of having brains In the nation during the grand lodge. Tou occasionally hear someone re mark, "What a fine thing It will be for the northwest to have all these men here for it will advertise the country." Quite true, but at this particular time let us forget the business end et us Join In that spirit of Elkdom and say, "We're glad you came to thi coast because we're glad you came. If you should ever happen back and buy something that Is all right. But rigbt now, we're glad you are here, Bill, we're glad you're here." I01 IIOrSEWORK BT MOTOR It is now possible to do a great deal of ordinary housework by motor pow er, thus relieving much of the drudg ery incidental to keeping house. To those who wonder why mechanlca' power was not applied sooner to wo man's work, as well as In the machine shops where men are employed, It 1? only necessary to explain that not un til the small electric motor was pro duced waa 1t possible to get power in to the house without a great deal ol noise, confusion, inconvenience and dirt. Electric power can be carried all through the house on small concealed wires and Is Instantly ready for wV.nt ever task you wish. The electric mo tor Is an Ideal source of power Inas much as It will give Just as much en ergy as you desire, from the smaller' fraction of a horse power np. It runs practically noiseless, without dirt o: danger, and can be operated by child. It Is surprising when you atop i? consider It, how much work about the home can be tafely entrusted to the electric motor. It will sweep and dust carpets, floors, upholstery, draplngs ( and clothing with the aid of a vacuum cleaner. It will polish the hardwood floor with a floor polishing machine, and it will also polish the silverware and brass work with a small buffing motor. It will wash and wring taj clothes quickly Indoors with the as sistance of an electric fan. It will bant eggs, grind coffe, run the meat and vegetable chopper, turn the ice cream freezer, sharpen knives and it will keep the house cool In' summer with electric fans. It will run the sewing machine faster and better than It was ever run before. It will dry the hair after a shampoo or provide a massage. ( And it will operate the refrigerator, keeping it at Just the right cooling temperature. These are a few of the ordinary things about the home which can be easily, quicmy auu ewuwiuiwii.j uuui with the aid of electric motors. : Those who rode the fast train over the mountains last night know how It seems to ride a scenic railway.

Dr. Woods Hutchinson says the rosy-cheeked country girl Is a myth. But the rosy-cheeked chorus girl will remain so long as the rouge holds out.
