LABOR TO PARTIZAXSHIP At the national' convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers, held at Houston, Texas, last week, reso lutions framed by tne close or ganization of . Democrats . aiid Socialists in charge of the delib erations of the convention, were passed,' declaring -that "Warren G. Harding, President ot the United States, has1 shown himself to be a consistent" and unrelent ing enemy , of organized labor in particular and of the' working classes In generai" and commit ting tbe organization to opposition to President Harding's reelection. The editor of the official magaz ine was instructed to use the col umns of the paper to attack Pres ident Harding and his adminstra tion. A resolution predicated upon falsehood thus culminated in an attempted prostitution of a lab or organization to the partisan political ends sought by certain leaders of the organization, more anxious to play politics than to serve the cause of labor.. The ' statement that President Harding has 'shown; himself to , be a "consistent and unrelenting eh- rem of orgahtzed 'labor" and "of tne, wording classes m general" is so preposterously untrue that it fails of-Us owa-w-eght, As;S newpaper pilbllsher i President Harding has been for years an employer of ' organized labor, lie is an honorary "member of ine Typographlca, union His fair ness 'to and consideration of his employes, has been, clearly shown by the testimony of the men who have -worked with and for him. Indeed, President Harding is him self as much a workingman as any of those who framed up and put over these resolutions. The rank and file of the rail way brotherhood membership is waking up to the fact that the Democrats and Socialists who have forced their way to the leadership of these organization have abondoned the original and legitimate aims of organized labor and are. seeking to convert these unions into political blocs? to be delivered wiU jbvhese Readers The Readers of the railway Taper tm the "World t-All.fl .lit l. 1. . . -VUO.

The selfish, ambitious leaders guilty of this perversion of un ionism, are running these -organizations upon the rocks. " They have declared war on a po.itical party which, at the last- general election cast two-thirds of the votes. They have served notice on the country that membership in one of these organizations must carry with it affiliation with eith er the Socialist or Democratic parties. This betrayal of unionism will soon react upon the heads ot those guilty of it. It will be re sented by hundreds and thous ands of union men who decline to be considered dumb driven cattle under the lash of autocrat ic machine bosses.

"FLOATED IXTO CONGRESS ON A STREAM OP SOUP" Editor Statesman: Miss Alice Robertson, a spins ter of mature years and pronounc ed opinions, famous for the pos session of a skull filled with good horse sense and also because of being congresswoman from one of, our leading, commonwealths, haa been in town the entire week hob-f nobbing with some of . our elite.

Genevieve prompt ly spent it for candy. She was going down the street munching away at it. when she chanced to look up and saw a couple of girls coming down the street. One of them .was Cor delia, a friend of hers, and the other girl was a well-dressed stranger. : Then she remembered the can dy, the peeked in the bag. There were two pieces left. So use in saving' them fox Cordelia and Ltr friend. She stuffed them quickly in her mouth. 'r!k- The-two girls were up-to hrfT. -Hello. said Cordelia. Gene vieve. I want you' to meet niy cousin.

She had forgotten that Jhe.twojpieces were cmmel&v :: E'-'r " is. doubtful if any of her merited popularity among the highbrows has come to her because of the desire of these worthies to profit by the saune by having it applied to their modes of living, but rath er of their desire to share in the notoriety which comes from an acquaintance with a real live con gresswoman, be their relations cer so remote and obscure. Miss Alice told her admirers that she is now and has always been a very plain if not ordinary woman whose greatest ambition Leems to have been to do some thing useful in the" human hire tit industry. And when she be gan to look about for some real avenue in which to vent her am bitions decided to become a cook, somewhere she had heard that the easiest and most successful ay to tame and civilize man and to lead him into the paths in which he should go- was to feed the brtjte. Accordingly, she launched out into the restaurant business. Her activities were ap preciated and without doubt very successful, for she declares her self that she floated into con gress on a stream Of soup. Miss Alice is a good cook and when asked what is the most important step m the education of a girl today unhesitatingly declared, "learn to boil a potato properly." Doubtless she meant this to a? ply in a symbolical as well as literal sense. For the boiling of plain potatoes is an accomplish ment that few of our present day flappers can pretend to do, yet how needful i3 this art for. the happiness of the ordinary family. Symbolically, learning to boil a potato is Miss Robertson's way ot stating plain truths poetically, and by it she doubtless intended to rmpress upon her hearers the importance of doing the common things of liie properly. Evident ly she took this way of telling the Liothers of our city the very im portant duty they owe the com munity in teaching their daugh ters how to conduct a house or derly and in a business like man ner without which knowledge they can never hope to attain domestic happiness, or the state and city reach their highest des tiny. . "-- Without doubt President Hard ing showed admirable Judgment when he selected Miss Robertson to act as his representative to Portland' during the rose carni yaji' ' Perhaps he could not have made a better choice. Flashy congressmen, sedate j senators, profound judges or fiery orators have their, place in all public func tions and produce their effects upon the peoptd among whom they fraternize, but for. the real effects of, the worth while on the mothers of Portland and Or egon it is doubtful if anything that could have been said or done by the above array of talent could work greater good upon the women folk of this generation. taone of whom take life too ser iously, than the trite sayings and old fashioned ideas of the pro prieties as outlined and taught by Miss Alice Robertson, congress- woman from Oklahoma, and though that state may select as her successor a fiery orator whose capabilities may enthuse and thrill thousands, yet it is doubt f.uil if his efforts would result ia any more good to the common people. tf the state than would this plain woman whose greatest desire is to be a good cook. E C. BRACKMEY 796 Flint Street, Portland, Ore. The above is gladly given space, for the plain truths which Con gresswoman Alice sought to im press upon Oregofl women are im portant truths And while the editor would not detract one iota from the Just fame of our mothers and grand mothers, for the concocting of thingd culita.-y ' like our mothers used to make," the editor must say that Cue above writer is alto gether too cynical and too sweep ing in his remarks, when he al ludes to "the boiling of plain po tatoes that few of our present day flappers can petend to do." and to the "women folk of this gen eration, none of whom take life loo seriously." It is not so. No one has de fined just what a flapper is; but in this part ot Oregon the great "majority of our women take life a seriously as they should. They are the berry pickers and stem- niers, very largely; they render the greatest aid to the fruit grow ers In gathering their crops; and the- hop growers, too. They largely "man" the canneries and other fruit packing and preserv ing concerns of Salem ' .And they are the home makers here And they do know how to boil plain potatoes properly, and they are. on the average better cooks than their -mothers before them. And they bgin early. ' The junior high schools of Sa iem teach' cooking and the pre paration of the supplies that go Into the kitchens. If Mr. Brack- ney could have gone with the Sa lem Rotarians to the junior high in the Washington building sev eral weeks ago. and partaken with them of the meal prepared by the young girls of the domestic sci ence class, he would have con cluded that the generation of good cooks in this part of Oregon. is not running out, and not likely i run out. The fact is. the younger cooks, trained along up to date lines in the domestic science departments of our schools, do" better with less mater ials to work with than did their mothers before them. They le.rn to provide and prepare foU that is better for keeping wetl and fit the human body; with more attention to calories and vitamines and the elements of food that are necessary for build ing for brawn and brain. The younger cooks will raise families that will be stronger and live lon ger than the older generations, and that will be better fitted to perform their tasks and to enjoy themselves as they go along life's pathways. The Brackneys who live in the past should get a better squint at the present. Ail the good tbidgs are not in the past. The orld is growing better. People enjoy themselves more than they used to do; but they live longer. The average' length of life is in creasing, and destined to go on increasing. If the world had remained old fashioned, Congresswoman Alice Robertson would not have had a chance to be elected to the nation al legislature. Her stream of soup would have kept her in the kitchen.
