Bishop Keator declared today that, a? a member of the house of bishops or the church, he was prepared to vote affirmatively on the recommen dation of the special commission of the church, working on the revision of the Episcopal prayer book. "The word 'obey' in the wedding ceremony is useless because it is archaic," the bishop said. "The wed ding service, like the remainder of the Episcopal prayer book, has come down to us from a far time. It must be brought down to date. "Originally, I believe.' the word obey' was meant to signify that the husband should be looked up to as the natural head of the fam'ly.

An optimist, someone said, is a man who receives a lemon and proceeds to make a lemonade. Consequently, de spite the overwhelming- defeat of the democrtaic party two years ago, Cor dell Hull, democratic national com mitteeman, sees victory immediately ahead for his party. Chairman Hull is an optimist. Also the national chairman, who arrived in Portland yesterday morn ing and left for Spokane last night, advised that factions within the party be forgotten; that the differ ent groups pet togrther in peace and harmony. Possibly someone tipped him off to the fact that there are two very antagonistic factions in the democratic party In Oregon, which may have prompted his advice, or, perhaps, rival factions are chronic within the ranks of the 'minority party. Anyway, the national chair man handed out some wholesome ad vice to .the assembled democratic men and women at the luncheon in his honor at the Multnomah yester day noon. Mr. Hull Sole Speafcrr. Although Dr. J. W. Morrow, na tional committeeman for Oregon and toastmaster of the occasion, said there were a number of other speak ers he would like to call for remarks, only Chairman Hull spoke. The na tional chairman pointed with pride and viewed with alarm and predicted a glorious victory for the party next November and also in the presiden tial campaign in 1924, providing dem ocrats organize and work early and late from now until then. Organiza tion is the main thing. Chairman Hull explained, and it is for the pur pose of putting pep into the party organization that he is now touring 10 states at his own expense. As a member of congress. Chairman Hull sponsored the federal income tax, and he was introduced to his fellow democrats yesterday as the man who knows more about income tax than any other man In the country. In discussing the achievements of the party, when Mr. Wilson was presi dent. Mr. Hull made no reference whatsoever to the income tax. Reaction Is Announced. There Is a strong reaction against tne republican party as now con trolled, he declared, and that hon ored party is not today the party with which Lincoln and Grant were identified. He charged that a small group of reactionaries are directing the destinies of the republican party, and pointed a finger of shame at the , Newberry case in the lnited States y senate. He let it be understood that the Newberry case was practically acknowledgement that senate seats are for sale to men of wealth and that party leaders bargain with special interests before elections, and that after elections the special interests and the government are run on a partnership basis. There has never been a time when the democratic party has less to be ashamed of or more to be proud of. deofared Chairman HulL The party . hifs disproved the old slander of the republicans that the democratic party was inimical to business, that hard times came with a democratic administration, and that the party Has no programme. All these allegations have been knocked galleywest. the speaker undertook to prove, by showing what happened when Mr. Wilson was pres ident. Wilwn'i Record Cited. He defied anyone to compare the first years of the Wilson and the first year of the Harding administration and rot admit that Jlr. Wilson had the better record of the two. When the democrats came into power in 1912, they proceeded to show the peo ple what they could do, stated Mr. Hull, and forthwith he proceeded' to enumerate the accomplishments of the democratic administration. For two years after the war, charged the speaker,- a small coterie of republicans engaged in a national conspiracy to discredit the Wilson ad ministration, instead of getting to gether with the democrats and pro viding post-war legislation which the country needed. He charged that no racial, religious or other prejudice was overlooked to stir-up trouble for the democratic party in the White House, and that republicans defeated or delayed very democratic policy for reconstruction. As a sort of capsheaf for his indict ment of tire republican party, Chair man Hull said it has no leadership, policies or programme, and that it is bankrupt in principles and morals. The speech made a decided hit with the sympathetic audience. POSTMASTER WINS POINT Astoria Man to Continue Duties as School Board Member. THE ORBGOJilAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, D. C, April 12. C.
