The of the Grand Master was greatly enjoyed Mr. Westbrook is very popular throughout hia jurisdiction, the reason for which is not hard to And. On thia occasion he dealt <mt the uaual numlier of complimentary (?) tributes, Mr. Peterson Iieing hi« chief target. He gave a brief historical «ketch of the 1. O. O. F., referring to the anniversary cele bration of the founding of the Order to tie observed in Portland Thursday even ing. He complimented the local lodge upon their progress and growth. In conclusion he gave a stirring patriotic appeal which was heartily applauded. Grand W’arden Weed gave a brief ad dress, complimenting the lodge on its growth and development and the num ber of young men belonging to it. He turned the tallies very neatly on Mr. Westbrook, to the delight of the audi ence, for however much they love their chief they like to see him get a doae of hia own medicine. The "Star Spangled Hanner" and "America" were sung by the audience, one at the beginning and the other at the conclusion of the program. Perhaps the winning number of the program was the presentation in two tableaux of the song, "lkin't Bite the Hand That's Feeding You," the music of which was rendered by Mrs. Me- Naught, of Portland. Thunderous ap plause greeted this realistic patriotic demonstration. An amusing episode whs provided at the close of the program by the presen tation of a huge pie to the Grand Mas ter, a humorous little spoil accompany ing the gift. For once Mr. Westbrook ' was taken completely off his feet and left high and dry with no words to re ply. A banquet served in the dining hall aliove terminated the evening's festivi ties.

Mr. Dilly made a very stately Uncle Ram, looking very dignified aa he led in the Grand March. A little Hpitx dog however, of evident pro-German sym pathies, took great exceptions to the presence of Uncle Sam, barking furious ly at hia heels. Or perhaps, he thought the tableaux were not yet finished ami \it waa his turn to "bite the hand that gave him food.,’ Over a hundred yearn ago the German philosopher, Kant, said that before world [«-ace becomes an aecompliahed reality three things must happen ; racial hatred must be dissolved, the people must rule in place of the kings, and the world must be politically organized. This waa the text of Hamilton Holt’s discourse before the Oregon Civic league Saturday noon. Mr. Holt is editor of The Independent, New York, and is one of the founders and directors of tiie League to Enforce Peace of which ex-Preeident Taft is the President. Mr. Holt stated that Kant’s first con dition is being met by the schools, col leges and churches of every nation, and that rapidly personal animosity of one race of people for another is disappear ing.
