He says that the better -class of agents will not object to such a law. "I have also recommended," he con tinues, "the question of discrimination in the mater of fire insurance rates and have requested that the Insurance Commissioner be granted authority to inspect and review any and all rating bureaus to prevent unfair discrimina tion in rates between risks of essen tially the same hazards and having sub stantially the saifie degree of protec tion against fire."

Republican Nominee Gives Stirrina Address Before Graduating Class of Brown tJniverslty Secre tary Lane Also Speaks. PROVIDENCE. R. I.. June 21. Charles E. Hughes. Republican Presidential nominee, today told the graduating class and alumni of Brown University that the American spirit was not to be fed in the classroom by such nice balancing that conviction was notorious by Its absence, but was to be expressed "by men who have thought it all out and finally believe in something." "And in that spirit and conviction lies our manhood." he continued. "This is ' not a political occasion, but it is only fair that I say this informal word to you. I had never expected to be in this position. I dreaded the responsi bilities for I know full well the prob- ems that will confront us In America after this war shall end. I know all the constructive power we possess must be drawn upon to meet them and I am here with such powers as I possess, to be placed, if they are desired, at the disposal of our country." Before making his address the nom inee had listened to a speech on "The Spirit of America" by Secretary of the Interior Lane. Mr. Lane said that sad. lugubrious declarations in New Eng land newspapers that Americans were losing their National sirit and becom Ing soft, self-satisfied and weaklings,' had pained him; that the American spirit of achievement was as strong to day as ever and that there had been no .weakening in National spirit or lowering of National ideals since the birth of the Republic. The nom inee took up the train of thought. "I am here," he said, as a member of the class of '81 a class once called the smallest and sorriest In college. We . did not have in those days the things vou have now. We did not have a swimming pool, a gymnasium. macrnificent dormitories. I don t be lieve we had a whole pane of glass in most of our dormitory windows. Why, talk about the American Bplrit tnat s what kept us warm. That's what kept us alive. That's the reason we are "When I come bacK to Brown, i am not thinking of buildings as my shrine. I am thinking of men, college men, warm-blooded, true-hearted American ttiti havlnir freedom of speech and freedom of discussion, men having the canacitv of democracy to aeai witn problems which our democracy is now facing and must settle." Mr. Hughes' address. Intended for the men of Brown University, was de vntort almost wholly to Brown tra Hltinna and to recalling Incidents of 35 years ago, when he attended the university. "I merely want to say mis lniormai worrl to vou." he said, "that as an old graduate, for I am here only in that character, I wanted a draught from the old spring before I plunged into tne tight."

Employers of Portland are coming to the front nobly when confronted with the loss of part of their working force by reason of the mobilization of the Oregon National Guard. Generally, without an exception that has so far come to light, business houses, manu facturers and office heads have assured their men who have enlisted that their positions will be held for them and the fatted calf or its equivalent will await them on their return.
