Gladys Brockwell. one of the newer
stars of the silent drama, gave a good
account of herself at the Majestic
theatre Sunday in "To Honor and
Obey." a domestic photoplay with i
"punch. The action centers abou
Wall street and deals dramatically
with two brokers fighting for the fu
ture of one man's wife. The vivid
personality of Miss Brockwell Is well
suited to Lorrle Mollis, a girl who
marriage has been unhappy. Her hus
band aeises upon a sacrifice which she
has made for him and distorts it Into
falsehood, which mortifies her. The
result Is the inevitable divorce, from
which the husband comes forth to con
tinue his way to ruin, and the former
wife to work out her own salvation in
a factory, and later to find happiness

the production. Both are exceedingly
good-looking and wear their clothes
with distinction. "The Amazons" will
remain at the Columbia until Thursday.
"Oh Trial" Powerful Play
A sensational courtroom scene is the
big feature of "On Trial." That a pow

carefully produced, does not need a

by the enthusiastic reception of Sun

Washington, Aug. II. (WASHING
TO BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
A stiletto is not a nobler weapon
than the bludgeon, thinks Senator
Chamberlain, and he refuses to differ
entiate between legislative assassins
because they operate with different
kinds of weapons.
Senator Gore of Oklahoma discov
ered the Oregon senator's opinion on
this point, and he discovered it quick
ly, after he had suggested that the
senate conferees on the food bill
should have "recede" tattooed on their
foreheads because they reached an
agreement In conference that did no.,
meet with Gore's approval.
Senator Chamberlain was angered by
that remark, and he made a quick retort
Oore Xs Ketaaked
"Mr. President." he said, "there is
not much in this conference report
that the senator from Oklahoma thinks
is right. As a matter of fact, while
he Is tattooing Into the forehead cf
senators who receded the word 're
cede.' there might be tottooed In the
senator's forehead and la the fore
heads of some others the word 'ob
struct.' "
Senator Chamberlain wen,: ahead to
make plain Jus tbe methods adopted
by Senator Gore to obstruct, ela and
defeat the food MIL Becausi he vras
opposed to the bill. Gore retiied frim
the management of the bill in the
senate and Chamberlain took control.
Yet whn the bill was passed and the ;
time came for appointing conferees,
Gore asserted his right as chairman
of the agricultural committee to tsad
the senate conferees, and he atten ;ted i
in conference to prevent an agreement
by standing out against the president,
against the house confsrees, and
against all argument to retain the
'smelling" committee to nqulre into
war expenditures.
yeouliar Methods a '.own
These were the stiletto metiods to
which Senator Chamberlain referred
as he proceeded:
Mr. President, there m two ways
to obstruct. One is by tue use of a
bludgeon, and the other la by thj
use Of a stiletto. It Is true, as tho
senator says, that when this bill
was Introduced in the senate It was
introduced by me at his request, but
there has not been a time since I
did so that the distinguished chair
man of the committee (Gore) hae
not used a stiletto whenever he had
an opportunity to do so.
While the bill was committed by
him to tar charge on the floor or
the senate, because ha was opposed
to it, the senator absolutely main
tained control of the committee; and
when the conference committee was
appointed, if you please, the senator
undertook to name the members of
ths conference to suit himself and
his -views, out of the usual order and
contrary to ths manner of appoint
ment under ths practice of tue
senate.
Chair Zs Assumed
"Then when the conferees met the
chairman of ths, committee, although
he was known to be hostile to the
bill, although It was known by me
and other members of the committee
that he opposed It from the time it
was introduced to this very moment,
took charge .of ths conference as
chairman of the committee and ob
structed in every way possible the
prompt consideration of the bill.
"1 had rather be charged with
following in the footsteps of the dis
tinguished president of the United
States In the conduct of this war.
crawling, if you please, on hands and
knees in order to win the same, than
to stand in opposition to him and to
be continually consorting, conspiring
and treating with the enemies of the
commander In chief of the army and
navy of the United States."
Senator Gore, In reply, sought to
avert the force of this stinging
arraignment, but he admitted the
facta in the Indictment, saying:
Oore Admits Charge
"I was opposed to this measure.
I was In favor of the senate Amend
ments. (Notably the board of three
for food control and the congressional
smelling commltee, which President
Wilson denounced.) The imputation
of obstruction cannot be laid at my
door.
'I felt I ought to retain In the
measure the deliberate will of the
senate as expressed here by repeated
votes and by overwhelming majori
ties. I did not recede; I did not be
tray the trust committed to me by
this body.
'I did take charge of the confer
ence committee. 1 felt then and X
feel now that I was quite as well
qualified to represent the senate, its
wishes, and Its amendments as tne
senator from Oregon, who had fa
vored ths measure without senate
amendments. Tne history and re
sults of the conference Justified this
conference and this conclusion."
Warren Breaks Away
Oore stated the fact- when he said
he did not recede. After the president
had asked the senate conferees to re
cede. Chamberlain, Smith of Gorgia
and Smith of South Carolina voted to
do ma, while Gore, Kenyon, Page and
Warren voted not to do so. The finl
honor of receding and breaking the
deadlock belongs to Senator Warren, a
veteran Republican from Wyoming.
The senate clash between Chamber
lain and Gore was useful because it
helped to illuminate the course (ior
has pursued in harrassing the admin
istration. While ostensibly staiisinc
aside in the senate so Its win migut
not bo obstructed, he seized Hie oppor
tunity to go into conierence with the
stiletto, where he came veiy nearly
undoing all that had been accom
plished.
- Oklaho man's Flan rails
There comes a time in the history
of all big legislative measures when
somebody has to recede, or there would
be no law. The house passes a bill; -the
senate writes it over, and the con
ferees of the two houses Sit down at a
round table to work out an agree
ment, One house yields at one point,
one side at another.
Gore, who was hostile to the bill It
self, went Into the conference stiff
necked. He would have wrecked .the
bill, if he could by insisting upoa
amendments to which the house would
never have agreed, and to which ta
president was opposed. Because tha
conferees of the senate finally did
yield on these points, ,he came bacic
with the boast that he had no: re
ceded; had not "betrayed" his trust.
Thus, while Reed of Missouri played
dilly-dally in the open senate, Uor
lay in wait to knife the bill when it
came into conference.

Defense
In order that men, machine power and capital of the country may be utilized by our
Government during the war, merchants, as well as the buying public, are urged to
curtail all unnecessary service and eliminate all waste.
f
H. L, Corbett, Chairman State Council of National Defense:
Sir : In the present emergency it is absolutely necessary that the country's resources be
ised to full advantage to aid in carrying on the war. This requires that all unnecessary serv
ices shall be eliminated in retail trade as well as in other lines of business. The Commercial
Economy Board has made a careful investigation of 'the economies that are possible in the
delivery service of retail stores. This shows that a large number of men and vehicles can be
released for military or other service that is essential to the welfare of the country.
The Board points out, therefore, that delivery service in retail stores can be very sub
stantially reduced immediately by restricting the free delivery of small purchases by elimi
nating special deliveries, and by other means. Not more than one delivery a day should be
made on each route.
The Board urges, furthermore, that the acceptance of returned goods be reduced to an
absolute minimum and that all non-essential operations in each store be eliminated.
There is such urgent need for men and equipment in other work that the country cannot
endure the waste that is occasioned by the abuse of the return goods privilege and accommo
dation deliveries of small purchases.
We trust that we may have the co-operation of your association in making these correc
tions immediately effective. These changes should be introduced as early as practicable, cer
tainly not later than August 1, 1917. The Board will use every resource at its command,
including the co-operation of the State Councils of. Defense, to assist in making these changes
effective. , Yours very truly,
COMMERCIAL ECONOMY BOARD OF THE COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE.
J)
In compliance with the request of the Council of National Defense, as it here
with appears, let the citizens of the City of Portland and the State of Oregon fall
in line and assist our Government by responding as promptly as they did to the
Liberty Loan and Red Cross. As chairman of the Oregon State Council of De
fense, I suggest the adoption of the following rules, as suggested by the Council
of National Defense, to take effect not later than August 20:
0
1 Not more than one delivery a day.
2 Not to accept or offer goods for return after 48 hours.
3 By carrying parcels with you when going to or from shopping.
4 By not purchasing merchandise until reasonably sure it will be kept.
5 By avoiding C. O. D. purchases whenever possible. ;
6 By bringing back, personally,-" returnable goods for credit
7 By shopping early in the day to distribute business more evenly.
Will you demonstrate your patriotism by making it a National American habit
"CARRY IT HOME AND KEEP IT?"
