' ' , . Some senators did a lot of grumbling last week because the vote on Secretary West's appointment, supposed to' be secret, got into the newspapers. Senator Dill offered the' opinion that tho senate erred in trying to keep any govern ment business secret, that all senate votes should be public. He is right. There was nothing to be ashamed of in voting sfor Mr. West and if there had been, there's all the more need for publicity. ! The Kiddle bill for the reduction of auto license schedules, ! House Bill 280, appears to be a happy compromise on this question that has caused so much controversy. With only a $10 fee on old Fords and a similar reduction from tho old schedule on heavier cars, and with an additional cent of tax on gasoline, the bill promises relief without threatening the highway program and its revenue. , Automobile owners gen erally will welcome some such change toward a more equit able distribution of the highway costs.

If we hud it within our power to provide for La Grande the best evening's entertainment afforded by all the talent of the Northwest, we cannot think of anything that could bo', betfr mmmore generally enjoyed and appreciated than an after-dinner address by Frank Branch Riley, of Portland, lec turer extraordinary and good will envoy of the Northwest. Frank Branch Riley, who comes here a week from to morrow evening to address a special dinner sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and The Observer, is a true artist as a public speaker and entertainer. Ho thrills his audience one minute with a beautiful word picture and sends them into a roar of laughter the next. He inspires', enthuses, amuses and through it all docs a finished and expert job of selling) nis neurers on tno Northwest, its advantages and its possi bilities. Mr. Riley has for several years toured the cities of the east and middle west singing tho praises of the Pacific North west, his work being sponsored by the Portland chamber of commerce and by private individuals who have become en thused over his power to advertise and attract people to this great, country of ours. On his tour Mr. Riley gives an illus trated Travelogue dealing with the grandeurs of this section, and so popular are his appearances that he has requests suffi cient to fill his entire itinerary 18 months in advance of each tour.. "Riley is an ingratiating, tempting orator, rare humorist. If it does not want to be depopulated this section of the coun try cant of the Mississippi had better see about placing a ban on this singer of the magic of tho Northwest. He is like ly to have its people pouring across the plains with the de termination and eagerness displayed in tho covered wagon hegira, when the whisper of Sutter's gold was heard around the world." So roads an editorial in an eastern paper follow ing a lecture of Frank I S ranch Riley. La Grande is in for a rare treat a week from tomorrow. No charge is to he made except the dinner tickets of $1 each, and the general public is invited to attend. And if the people of this community learn the truth about Riley's artistry, it's our prediction that it will be necessary to hang out the sign, "Standing Room Only," on February 13th. He deserves and will get a capacity crowd. No one who hears Frank Branch Riley will le disappointed. KUZABimi, N.

Mr. Tllden'a present j predicatm-nt seems to .have been j brought about because he waa too ' versatile. As ft good actor and a good fnnis player, It was some times hard to tell where the acting left off and the tennis began, but thst made, no great difference. What really mattered was that the asuoriailon decided Mr. Tl. den's fume as an author was overlapping his fame as captain of the Davis cup team. Tildrn Ingenious : Mr, Ttli) en is as ingenious aa he is versatile. When the courts were closed he took to the stage. Ho withdrew from the ranks of the triple threats and even from the ranks of the double threats. He settled down to a winter with the drama and has enjoyed a certain success. Mr. Tllden would like to play tennis again. Perhaps he will nev er Play aa brilliantly aa before, for a man past no thinks faster than ho moves. Hut he would like to huve his name In the assorlat ion's roster and not lii Its little black book. It ia understood that Mr. Tllden would consider submerging his writing for the privilege. Nobody knows how the ofr-atnge effects will be received. There Is a great deal to be done before Mr. Tltden's cue will be apoken, but most of It seems rather like a pro logue. Mr. Tllden may be Invited out, to take a bow with the cast, he 'may ho Ignored.
