Smith cited several regulatory and

Speaking of treats, it's going to bo a very juicy morsel to
have the old and well-loved chamber of commerce quartet pro
vide, a portion of the entertainment on the occasion of Frank
Branch Riley's visit here next week. ' ' ,
. 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.

j FRANK BRANCH RILEY COMING .
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.

Mr. TiMen Is Versatile. . The off- I
mar effect will probably be quite
good eftecis. 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.

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

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

he 'may ho Ignored. Woivw still,
tho cue for his off-stugfl clatter
