From Presidential Race Mrs. Bryan Shares Honors and Speaks. fContlneed From First Par. large number of Portland clubwomen and many men as well. Dr. Eat her PobJ-Love'oy presided. After Mrs. Bryan bad bad opportunity to meet the women and men she made a brief In formal address, and sbe proved to the satisfaction of everyono present that there Is more than one orator of ability la the Bryan family. She spoke with an ease and grace that won and held respectful attention. "Mr. Bryan. I fear, tie a monopoly on public speaking In our family. she began humorously. "In the two years and more that we were In- Washington I made It a practice to confine my public utterances to that one great sub ject that pervades the whole social fabric of the Capital the weathrr." She referred then, briefly, to her re cent trip with Mr. Bryan to the Cali fornia expositions and to Crater Lake. She expressed her delight at the thtna-s she saw in California, but was moved even to greater enthusiasm tr her praise of the beauty and the wonders of Crater Lake. She then took up a discussion of the suffrage question, of which she has been an earnest sup porter for many years. Mr. Bryan Eaten. "But It seems to me to be like car rying coals to Newcastle for me to talk suffrage In Oregon." she continued. -1 am a mere novice a theorist while yon women have the practical side of "aJiTs point a disturbing movement attracted attention toward the door of the room. Mrs. Bryan readily detected the cause. -I see that Mr. Bryan baa come, she declared In a complaining voice, but with a smile on her lips. "Now. I don t Ilka that at all. Ton see. our son hss taken to speaking In public, and one . t am nroud to say. le a good speaker, but we have a rule In our family that when one or us .peeks none of the othere shall be pres ent, and I don't like to see the rule broken. But Mr. Bryan continued to Invade the room and took his seat amid the laughter and applause of. the audience. Mrs. Bryan aala took up her suf frage speech and outlined In Interest ing and charming manner her connec tion with the suffrage cause. She said that she haa made It a rule never to complicate Mr. Bryan's political posi tion, and for that reason was a silent worker and a regular contributor for suffrage some time before Mr. Bryan openly espoused the cause. "Men need the votes of women as much as the women need them." was her clostng declaration. Cessseearr ladereea Views. Insistent calls of "Bryan." "Bryan" following Mrs. Bryan's address brought the Commoner to bis feet. "Men seeds the co-operation of wo man." he declared, "and L for one, can testify to the value of a woman's co operation and help. "I am not afraid to have the women UNUSUAL INCIDENTS BOB UP IN PATH OF NEWSMEN Negro.

"He swore something awful." tes tified Special Officer Beekman. who made the arresL "He was going fast and I got In front and made him stop. I called him down for driving so reck lessly, and he let loose a volley of abuse that was extremely Insulting. -Ah knows Ah said some things Ah shouldn't uv, and Ah'm sorry for It." responded the negro, "but Ah tells yeronner Ah didn't know whut the man wus er whut business he had to speak to me. Et wuxn't until Ah wus froo talking to him that he reaches down in his pocket and fishes out his stah. He polishes et npon his trousah leg and flashes et in mah fsce. Then Ah apolyglxes." Long won the sympathy of the court and was discharged on one count, though fined 110 for reckless driving. a Fire Chief Dowel received a shock the other dsy when he received a . ki, A.thl. niirrh.l. of tO- baCCO. which footed .well up above the Sleo mark. He had visions of the dwindling away of a big portion of his monthly salary, and tat down with perspiring brow to figure out how he bad managed to consume such a quan tity of the weed. A close inspection of the bill, however, proved It to have been made out to F. Cllef Instead of Fte Chief.. as he had at first thought. It waa with a feeling of relief that he turned the bill over to F. Cllef, a dealer In tobacco. e e e R. Nakal secretary of the Forest Bu reau of the Imperial Japanese government.- who was In Portland Thurs day. WH have cause to remember this city If for no other' reason than be cause of the warmth of the farewell which he received. When City Commissioner Baker p.iiru n. .-. v. -. - . , Me to bid him good-by with one of those grips for whlcb he Is noted, the visitor cringed noticeably and; gave a yelL Mr. Baker thjn passed Mr. Nakat on to Mayor Albs, wli. treated him to one of those handclasps learned as the result of his successful political cam paigns. Again he waa moved to cry out. After the farewells had been said Mr. Nakat went away rubbing bis right hand. e e e Two boys living In North Portland petitioned Chief Clark In a letter yes terday to restrain the police from In terference In their coasting on the Streets. , -We don't want to break the law. but we thrnk we ought to have a chance to coast on the street." says an extract from the letter. -There are no parks In this part of town. One efneer smllee and tells us to be carefnl. and another talked rough and to:d us that he would take us to the Juvenile Court If he caught us again. May we come to see you snd how yoa our wagons, or In soma way vote on the questions In which I am Interested, but there are some questions M.i.h m r Intarutad in them. I would not want the women to vote. This led him to discuss the subject of National honor and peace and brought forth the declaration that women, as well as men. should have a voice In determining a nation's course on the subject -Of peace and war. - For this reason, he said, woman suffrage will be a powerful factor In preserving the future peaceful relations between nations.

The letter was the boys' response to an effort of police officers to keep the lads from coasting on the street from Twenty-second and Flanders to Twen tieth and Marshall streets, on the ground that the children might collide with automobiles.

(Clark) Williams, Port land, "got married" last week, after surmounting all kinds of difficulties In the way of delayed trains, lost let ters and Inquisitive friends, he bash fully approached A. H. (Rosle) Rosen thal and offered him an Invitation to attend. Now. Rosle and Clark are good friends: so good, in fact, that they can play pinochle for hours and never say a word to each other. Rosie thought for a few minutes, while another hand was dealt, and con tinued to think as the time went on and the hour for the nuptials began to approach. When the time came for Clark to ro. Rosle lighted a cigarette, stuck a Joker card under his thumb nail and whisked it through the air as he blew a cloud of smoke up toward the celling. "No, Clark; better go alone.

Bet ter go alone." see Hsl White and Claude Bristol, news paper men who stir things up at the City Hall, are pretty much landlubbers when It comes to being at sea. They both went with the Oregon Naval Militia on the cruise to California last week. They went as official corre spondents.

Finally he elicited the information from an officer that he waa to have the "transom" for a bed. Chaarrtned. Bristol confided the news to While, as the two began looking around the ceilings all over the boat for a bunk stuck up over some door. The aspect waa too Interesting to the navigators on board and they let the reDorters look. Eventually White asked and learned that he was to have the -wardrooe for a bed and seemed quite content. That night when Bristol waa escort ed to the lounging bench In the petty officers' room, which lounge Is formal ly known as the "transom" on board a ship, he waa visiniy renevea ana ehaarlned. And. when White was tucked away In a nice cot In tbe ward room, where there wasn't a sight of s. wardrobe, he liaewise was relieved. The next day the boys thought they had become acquainted with seafaring terms, and White boldly ventured to Bristol: -Let's go aft." having been In that direction with one of the officers. "Where?" said Bristol. "Ob, aft: no. I guess I'll go up trout." nro BTjypAY OREooyiAjr, roBTjtAirp. -august i, 191s.

PENDLETON, Or., July 19. Portland Chamber of Commerce: Regarding the benefits accruing to the merchants of the North west from Buyers' Week as ar ranged by the jobbing houses of Portland, let me say that the benefits as I see them are many and varied. It not only permits of seeing a wide assortment of specially arranged and specially priced stocks, but at the same time gets the merchants of the Northwest closer to the local wholesalers. It gives an oppor tunity to find out first hand what Is being done by the pro gressive merchants of this sec tion. I.' for one, am learning more and more that closer home connections mean smaller and cleaner stocks and consequently more profits. R. ALEXANDER. CORVALLIS. Or., July 29. Buyers' Week Secretary.

In cereals, furniture, soap and leath er goods, as well as many other in dustries, Portland manufacturers lead the West.
