Vive hundred visiting Dokkies took part In the lodge reception j at the armory last night, the i guests of the Salem members of j the Dramatic Order, Knights of t Khorir.san. This is t:;e sunshine j branch and the funny-bone of the I Knights of Pythias lodge. There is small doubt that they proved It, last njght. Portland sent more than 200 j members, most of them in uni torm. A Dokkie uniform may be any kind of a cross between a rainbow and a paint factory and a Jags tailor; with an Arabic slant and a hilarious voice and a piercing eye for the bizarre and ear-grabbing and throat-cutting in shades and fabrics.

It was the most brilliant event of its kind shown in Salera in a very long time. Order Is Pat Hoi Ic. Following ibe parade a drill was put on by the Portland patrol that made machine drilling look like a ilind man milking a kick ing cow to Virginia reel time. They are real drillers. those Portland patrollers.

The explosions were heard all over the city, and the flags that floated out from the bombs as they burst high in air, were seen by thousands. Justice Harris II curd During the afternoon, from ? until 4:30, speaking was held at the Commercial. Liberty and High street intersections with State street. Hundreds gathered around every one of the speakers, to hear the brief pointed arguments ex plaining the loan bill. The aggre gate of listeners to these after noon addresses is placed at sev eral thousand. The big meeting of the day. however, came at night, when Justice Lawrence Harris of the Oregon supreme court, spoke fro mthetruck platform at Liber ty and State. The judge delivered a powerful argument for the mea rure. firt explaining its legal soundness, and then giving an impassioned plea for its approval as a matter of justice and patri otic duty. Those who will remem ber how the Judge drilled in the "Old men's guard" druing the war will never wonder why he speaks with fervor on the question of patriotic duty. His address was' of the kind to make men go up and vote two or three time, know ing the cause would justify the numerical Indiscretion. Window Wins f'lieern Walter C. Winslow spoke from the same platform, in what friends say is the greatest address of his career. He had the crowd cheer ing as if they had just won an other victory for humanity which doesn't seem such a bad guess at that. The parade of the D. O. K. K. order fitted finelv into the eve ning speaking. The varl-colored uniforms, and the great K. P. band, helped to brine and hold the crowd, and the lodgemen joined in to make them stay to hear the argument. Several thousand peo ple were in the crowd that surged around the speakers, and cheered their sentiments to the echo. Walter Denton later visited all four of the movie theaters, and was fivon Ihe privelepe of a five mintile address In each, to explain the loan bill and its patriotic ob ligations. In f'liurhei TmIm'.
