' -I hare been charged with craft

I know they are false.. If a grand

"Thes false reports,'' continued the

i k Mr. Wghtner ha 'held office as

Jthl office. The Multnomah farm also
was purchased in my administration,
and in a large measure I have been
responsible for the development" of
this unit of the county's property.
"It is; my purpose to continue the

1 "I believe the people of Portland
know me well enough , not 'to; be de
ceived by these report, '' circulated
merely as campaign material. My ob
ject in going before the grand jury
at this time is twofold. First,.! desire
to have this question of honesty set
tled for all time; and second, X do not
propose t wait until the eve of elec
tion arid permit Martin. Reddy and hla
following to spring it at a time when
it might, injure my race, "r
! "X have given my entire time to the
Job -since X have been county commis
sioner. X do not feel that my work is
completed. X have followed the work
of development of the Columbia river
highway helped to vote the first ap
propriation for the beginning of this
i?r eat Improvement, and X have helped
in the 'movement that, will place a
magnificent bridge between this city
.and Vancouver. These works .are In
complete. I feel it myduty to remain
an office until they aire finished. I
am familiar with what has been done
irnd what should be done, and I feel
that my knowledge of the work fit
me for another term."

FIRST ATTACK
UPON BRANDEIS
- J LACKS WEIGHT
(CoHtmued From Page On)
to represent only on aide. Tha com
mission wanted him to look on both
aides, and to take part as an expert In
the protection of the public interest
Thome's charge as it was detailed
was that Brandeis was unprofessional
because he refused to join the extreme
presentation of the shipper's argument
that Thorne thought he should make.
Following bis own course, which his
friends" cay he was free to do, he
mad a statement concerning earnings
that leaned toward the contention of
the railroad, . )
' Judgment Xf Tre.
The real Question . is whether the
position taken by the Boston attorney
P a Ration of confidence reposed
iin him by a client. The friends, of
Brandeis ay it win be shown that hi
1 relation to the case was not like that
of an attorney hired to fight it
through, right or: wrong. Rather, - he
was lo look at matters fairly, and hi
personal 'judgment . was neither to be
abdicated or suppressed. ;
That Thome's attack will b fully
explained - away by later testimony is
predicted, and its first force waa not
heavy. One reason for this is the per
sonality of Thorne. . The . Iowa man,
chairman of the railroad commission
of that state, ha achieved a reputa
tion a a radical on railroad rates. XX
Is perhaps tha' best known railroad
commissioner in the country, and
among his fellow state commissioners
he Is one of the least popular. . -.-'
, .Thome' Xack of Balance.
Somehow, there i a feeling abroad
Hbat Thorne doe not always show the
proper balance, and his onslaughts in
rate cases hav not , always been at
tended With auccfla. This Is 'hecaU
h is alleged to rely too much upon
oratory, and not enough upou the.care
ful preparation of hi case.
r So with Thorn, a accuser ther lsH
naturally some comment a to the per-1
onallty v and characteristic of thj
witness. These ar all things for th :
committee; to consider in reviewing j
what is said Of Brandeia.

STATE'S RIGHTS IS

, BILL, CHILD LAB0
if Washington, Feb. 14. t The doctrine
of stats' .right 1 1 being particu
larly invoked . at this session " of
congress in opposition to two partic
ular linear ofslegislatlon. ; One group of
its dovotees is " composed, strangely
enough, of western Republicans who
oppose the bill for federal eontro
and' leasing of water power, oil, gasi
Coal and other publio land resources.? !
K The other: group of state's rlghteri
is composed of southern Xemocrat)rop4
posed to child labor legislation. , Ther4
is , a. wonderful parity- of logic in- th
argumonts made against the Ferri
water power bill and the .child labor
bin. 'V;-vv!;:; ; . - -
-Xew TTse tat Old Doctrine. :
This situation haa drawn forth comi
ment that the old: master of state
lights, -who advocated it warmly as a
constitutional principle as the result
of conviction, would "look doubtfully
upon their present-day imitator. For
some reason, 'be it coincidence or oth-j
erwlse, the old doctrine seems now to
be doln? duty chiefly in the Interest of
self-seeking " and dividend-making
classes. - - V '- -. -"'"i-
The argument used by the -water;
power representatives and - by their;
leading champions at the famous west-i
m states' conferences in Portland last:
fall waa that western people under-!
stand their own interest better than
anyone else; therefore they should be
allowed to take over water power on
th public ' lands, to be dealt with at
the pleasure of th legislatures of the1
State.'::-' --.v ;
j - Applied to, Child Xabor. - ; i
: Congressman Blackmon of Alabama,!
making a : typical argument on the:
Child labor bilk used this language: i
: "Let us allow the state of Alabama
and th 6ther states of th union to
take care of . their own children and
other affairs affecting the internal;
welfare of their state. We understand
' local conditions 1 in Alabama better:
than the man -from the far east or the
far we, and the man In Pennsyl-j
vania : understands his home . condi-1
tions better than we in Alabama could
possibly understand them. X am in
favor of all legislation tending to pro
tect the children, - but I believe that
this 1 a matter that should be. dealt
with by the state Individually, with
out federal interference."
Theur Xeason for Opposition.
! The southerner were concerned be
cause the child labor bill will make
it impossible to transport in inter
state commerce the products of the
labor of children under the age of 16
employed - in a quarry or mine, or un
der the age of 14 employed In a mill,
cannery; workshop, factory : or manu
facturing establishment, or produced
by children between 14 and 10 work
ing mora than eight "hour In on day
in any occupation, or more than six
day in one week, or between 7 a. m.
and 7. n. m. , " " ' ''
- It 1 worthy of not that th author,
of a motion to amend so as, to per
mit child labor in canneries was Uncle;
joe Cannon, of Illinois. . ;
i Not all the southerners, by any!
means, opposed ..the bill or vote
against it. Conspicuous, southern!

HOT ROLLS AND BAKED FISH
Two Recipe for My Famous
Dishes
Of all the thing that my friends
say X make well I believe the most
famous are my hot rolls "and my baked
rlsh. And. by the way I have found
that rolis just seem to have been in
vented for fish, dinners. .
X want to take you into the secret of
the .goodness of these tvo things, be
cause between you and me, It is not so
much that I am a good cook but be
cause of just one little thing I use
In each case which gives th final
touch that makes them tasty.
Here's my recipe for stuffed, baked
fish. Take either plain bread stuffing,
veal atufflryr or forcemeat, fill the fish
and sew It up. Put a teacup of water
in th baking pan with a dessert spoon
ful of Crusto and bake according - to
thai sise of the fish, from SO minutes
W n hour. -Beuon with pepper and
salt and bake brown, ; . t
. The secret here is the use of the
Crusto. Just this little bit gives a rich
ness without In any way changing th
flavor of the fish Itself.. It makes the
"meat'' of the fish mor moist, which
allows of thorough cooking without
becoming dried up.
Now for the famou rolls. 61ft at
night a Quart of flour, add half a pint
of .milk, a spoonful of salt, two well
t eaten eggs and a halt cup of yeast.
Work it well, cover it, and set In a
warm place to rise. Next morning
work la one and one-half tablespoon
fuls of Crusto and mould the dough
into rolls. Bub over each foil a little
Crusto, fold and bake. -v.
. Her again, you will find that it Is
the Crusto that makes the rolls extra
delicious. --.
Indeed. X hav found that Crusto is
the ideat shortening. It is better, I
find, for baking, frying and cooking
for all things I used to use lard or
cookinc butter for.
You can get Crusto at most any good
grocery -I wouldn't be without It if I
were you., it Is very inexpensive end
comes in tight tins (straight sided,
friction top sanitary containers that
feet possible condition cleanly and'
convenient). -It comes in several dif
ferent sues for your convenience. If
rour grocer can t suddIv vou I ad
vise writing to "Crusto.'1 Houston. (4)
