Thousands here are asking them- l Selves why, in this time of agony tand travail, a senator of the United States, whose position gives his utter ance prominent display in all news papers, has attempted to deceive his countrymen and belittle the efforts ar saying to themselves that If Sen ator Lodge is false in his statement s to ships, in what other statements may he not also be false.

It is enough, if men in high office think they must fight the gov ernment in this time of war, to bear no false witness and speak truth only, That is what honest men do and patriots do. 1 Senator Lodge's statement is splen dld German propaganda.

We may win the war for permanent peace. Or we win it merely as an introduction new wars. President Wilson has ken . round that no peace will 00 wrj to Enforce Peace takes the same stand.

It Is not a conven- tion of war-weary pacifists. Quite the contrary. It isf a convention "to sustain the purpose of our people to fjght until Prussian militarism has be?n defeated and confirm opposition to a premature peace.' , But the convention has also an- other purpose. It aims "to focus at- tention Qn lhe only advantage the American people are hoping to gain Jfrom tne war namely a permanent peace guaranteed by the league of nations."

March 29.By abstaining recoru vote on tne Borland amendment the house of represenUUVes saved many of Its members from em- barrassment. Some of the SI i who voted irom a record vote on the Borland against It on a vote by tellers would find It difficult to explain to the folks at nome why they are willing to main-! tain a seven-hour standard for govern ment clerks tn Washington, when labor elsewhere supports an eight hour day. Most of the business of the house Is transacted in committee of the whole house, which facilitates the procedure. A roll call cannot be had In committee of the whole Questions fought out there, however, may be voted on later by a demand for a separate vote. On the Borland amendment no roll - call was demanded. The vote . on Its adop tion on a rising vote was 121 to S3. Upon a demand for tellers the victory was repeated. 138 to 88. Most of the Democrats voted for it and most of the Republicans voted against It The Oregon delegation divided equally. Rep resentative Binnott supported Borland, while McArthur was counted against the amendment. Hawley was not vis ible from the press gallery during the voting. The Borland amendment fixes elsrht hours as the minimum for government work. This Is the only respect In which 11 cnanges existing law, under which the government clerks have had the Beven hour minimum. Clerks may still be required to work longer hours than tne minimum if their chiefs require them to do so, and for this extra work receive no extra pay. Under the same section with tha Bor land amendment, however, the house voted for a general Increase In pay for government employes. This gives every clerk $10 a month more, where the sal ary Is 12000 or less. One of the features of the senate de Sb Sfe bate was the opposition of Senator Reed to the norland amendment.. Both Bor land and Reed live in Kansas City. Mo.. and both are Democrats, but their ideas of the public service are quite different. jne raot mat Borland has gained some distinction as the chamnlon of an ets-ht. nour a ay seemingly made Reed ajnbl-1 tloua to lead the opposition in the sen ate. Reed nearly always speaks as an anti. His chief amusement Is to attack tne rood - and fuel admlnistratlona. W he never he finds a few spare moments ne suomlts remarks on Hoover and Gar- mm. The Borland feglalatlon does not af fect the holiday and sick leave allow ances possessed by the government clerks. They will In any event con tinue to have one month's vacation, and they will have 30 days more If they are sick. "I presume they are all honest about being sick," remarked Senator QaUlnger, "but plenty of them get that additional month. Some of them, to ray knowledge, go to Europe during those two months and take other trips abroad." BREWERS CALLED KAISER'S AIDS Chicago Correspondence Christian Science Monitor That the German-American alliance has cooperated with tha TTna Brewers' association in opposing prohi-4 '"" " spreaaing enemy propa ganda is the charge, made by the Dry Chicago federation. The allegation Is of particular interest when considered In the light of statements made before sub-committee of the senate Judiciary committee, which is considering the ad visability of revoking the alliance's charter as a measure of public safety The Dry Chicago federation's case is presented In a pamphlet Just compiled by William J. Johnson, and the part re lating to the German-American alliance is presented under the sub-title, "Ger man Brewerlsra," "The two great menaces in the world today." reads the charge, "are German militarism in Europe and German brew erlsm in America. German brewerism Is the American wing of kalaerlsm. A foreign foe Is at our door. Forty-eight per cent of the saloon keepers tn this country are xorejgn born; 34 per cent are children of foreign-born parents; only It per cent are native whites of native parents. Most of the breweries are owned by Germans. By a camou flage of holding companies they some times seem to be in the hands of others, but where you trace ownership, to its source, we taproot is usually German.

That city was not pleasing and they went to Iowa, their former home, where Mr. Nelson had for some years been a trav eling salesman for a hardware house. Mr. Svenson died about this time and It became necessary for Mr. Nelson to return to Portland where, he says, he expects to remain. "It was 11" years ago," Mr. Nelson states, "that Mrs. Nelson and I first set foot in Portland and immediately became fascinated with the city, but we had . beard so much . about.
