in the Blackstone hotel conference that
picked Harding as the Republican nomi
nee at Chicago, ; Ratification by the
Tennessee legislature would mean that
the women of New Hampshire and Con
necticut i would vote . in November i and
Brandegee and Moses have excellent
reason to fear that they would suffer
thereby Inasmuch as both of them, can
didates for reelection, have consistently
opposed : woman suffrage, i Senator
Harding wil not be the means of, de
feating these friends of his if he can
avoid it' But he finds himself between
two fires, the plain righteousness of the
suffrage, cause on the one hand! and
Moses and Brandegee on the other.
il want to let the peoeple of the coun
try know that Harding could save the
situation for suffrage by coming here,
taking his coat off and pushing the
amendment through his party caucus
In accordance with his party ; platform
pledge and his own?' personal utterances.
The Democrats could not afford to kill
! the amendment If Harding Bhowed the
iiepuoiicans to do soim lor it. w
would be forced to remove the; obstruc
tions. Let Harding act now or confess
to the country' f that he would rather
protect Brandegee and MoBes than win
political freedom for the women of

where county prisoners are : worked on
the rockplle, evidently appreciate the
Institution, as it has Just been disclosed
that seme have been making night trips
away from the place-j-but they always
return. .
It was discovered a Tew days ago that
through clever work of ' some " of the
prisoners a large padlock was soi filed
that vlt would give a resounding click
when the key was turned on the prison
ers but would later yield to their ma
nipulations so that they could walk out
in the darkness. It is said that night
after .night some of the trusties have
taken advantage of this knowledge and
left the -stockade for visits outside, al
ways returning before j daylight. Ope of

IN AFFAIRS URGED
Sounding an appeal for the great

of the recently organized engineer
ing council, membership In which; is
one of , the liveliest contested Issues
of the American--society of civil en
gineers now holding its fiftieth an
nual convention at the Multnomah,
President Arthur 'P. Davis, director
of the United States reclamation ser-
vice addressed the assembly Tues
day' morning. ' " ' - ' !
The real issue is, whether or not the
society shall take its proper place among
human activities or gradually .decay and
become an obstruction -to progress,' pre
tending to- fill a niche which it does not
fUl. The demand for broader activities
is from the country at large and the op
position to the society i taking up civic
or welfare work comes from three or
four of the large cities. " ' j " ;
COKDITIOX STATED:- . '.'
"The two distinct issues involved in
the present meeting are, 'Progress Ver
sus Stagnation and 'Democracy Versus
Centralized Domination..' Measures of.
great importance to the world, to our
country j and to our profession demand
immediate and vigorous attention, and
it is imperative they have behind -them
the unified efforts of all organised en
gineers ef the country. - ---m
"The present , high cost of living j Is
due not to production,, but distribution,
and while much Is to be desired in the
way of accelerating and cheapening
production, these arts are so far ad
vanced and their certainty of Improve
ment is so great that they may be dis
missed as secondary' to the -greater
need for a more equitable 'distribution
of the things produced. It Is not he
who produces most that receives most.
Social and economic progress ' have not
kept pace with material progress and
the time has come when the discrep
ancy must be bridged over, for further
Increase of production unless accom
panied by a more reasonable distribu
tion is likely to become a menace rather
than a blessing. -
ISSUE -IS -TAKEN - ; (
President Davis attacked the state
ment that government operations can
not be as efficient or as economical as
those under corporate control. j
"Where government operations are not
as economical and as efficient as other
activities ' it is somebody's fault," he
said. "The fault should be located , and
removed. It should not be condoned
by the statement that it is inevitable.
Political favoritism or any other kind
of favoritism should be eliminated from
public .service.' s
The .convention was opened by J, C.
Stevens, president of the Portland sec
tion.. Addresses of welcome were given
by Governor". Olcott and Mayor Baker,
and a short talk was made by F. H. Mur
phy, secretary of the Oregon Technical
council, preceding the annual address of
the president. , ' (
The business session of the society was
held Tuesday afternoon with the main
contention centering arouund the amend
ments to the .constitution concerning the
association's entry Into the engineering)
.council. Election of officers is also to
'take place.
Tuesday night dancing will take place
in the grand ballroom of the Multnomah
for the. civil engineers and their guests.
The remainder of the week will be de

. D'OIIer explained Chat the legion had
grown from little -more than an Idea in
a comparatively short period to a giant
organization with more than 10.000 posts
and. close to one. and one hair million
members.- I
Such growth, he declared, had never
been achieved by any other organization
and was the result of proper Ideals and
tihe fact that the legion was planned
along practical lines. '
The purpose of the! legion, declared the
national commanderj is to keep alive the
spirit of service to the country which
fired American soldiers to great deeds
during the war, and) to further the com.

! The legion was called upon to meet
Its first tent, he said. In the year after
the men returned from service, when it
took up the combat against revolution

the legion on that Issue was so clear,
he declared, that the radical element
was checked. The legion members muff
