More About the Oyster
UR shafts of criticism prompted by the Portland Tele-
J gram's effort to .make Yacmina bay a haven for the
culture of the oyster, even at the expense of the spruce mill
at Toledo, have brought a reply in the editorial columns of
the Telegram. Our criticism, thinks the Telegram editor, is
because of a lack of appreciation of the oyster as a table del
icacy. 4f the editor of the Statesman had lived in Balti
more or had dined in a restaurant in New York, opines the
irritated editor, then w might even rally as a recruit to
mollusk-adorned banner of the Telegram.
Right, we never lived in Baltimore ; and perchance if we
had we might detest the bivalves harvested on the shores of
the Chesapeake. The "local color might be offensive. Nor
have we tested the skill of New York s famous chefs de cuis
ine in the preparation of oyster dishes. Ah, but we have
done better than Baltimore or New York ; we have livedjn
Olympia in the days when Doane's restaurant flourished.
Olympia, be it known, is the home of the famous Olmpia
oysters, those tiny fellows far more choice than the most
select blue points from Baltimore. And Doane's was famous
from Seattle to the St. Francis for its one dish: "Doane's oy
ster pan roast." Envious chefs might try their best to rival
the dish that brought Doane his fame, but they all failed. At
-last even Doane's was closed, its old weather-beaten frame
building giving way to a characterless chain store building.
Then we knew something of the oyster houses of Se
attle? the Lion on First Avenue, and Don's on Yesler Way,
good places too for a fry or a stew. And the chef at the Col
lege Club there serves an entre of Olympias, crab meat, et
cetera, that is a poem in food.
But our knowledge of and relish for the oyster goes far
ther back than-that, back to the oyster stewtof a winter's
night in Iowa. Or an oyster supper, when a bod-sled load of
merrymakers follows the whitened trail into the country or to
a neighboring village for an old-fashioned oyster supper. Do
you not recall it; brawny men, florid-faced from their unac-
customed tasks, dipping g&ierous ladles of oyster stew from

it is not that we love oysters the less, but that we love the
spruce mill payrolls the more. We note that Toledo has sus
tained a rate of growth one of the most rapid in the state
in the past decade. That growth is the result of the spruce
mill development. That mill is of far greater importance to
the prosperity of Lincoln county than the tiny beds of oy

south of Portland, and I had my

Singularly enough, I do not recall

came in sight of it is as plain to

"The Resolution Against Bingham
ITIHE senate's resolution of condemnation against Senator
X Bingham of Connecticut we set down as too severe and nothing doing in that line in my
altogether unnecessary. Senator Bingham is one or tne most
capable and distinguished of the members of the former "up
per" house. He explored the jungles of tropical South Amer
ica. He served as professor m Yale university, he served in
the army ih Mexico under General Pershing. He was an
aviator in France, during the war. Withal he is a high type
of man and Citizen. Yet this is the man who is branded with
senatorial censure because of what he confesses was prob
ably a mistake in securing as an aide in tariff hearings one worth striving for anyway!

ciation.
We are impressed with the hypocrisy of it all. Norris,
et aL do not hesitate to take the legislative hand-outs of
walking delegates for farm organizations. Even the presi
dent with a half billion dollars at his disposal for farm relief
invites the farmers to name the men who will spend it. The
anti-saloon league has likewise stood' in loco senatoris on oc
casion. Senators have accepted fees from the league for
lectures": and to a finely discriminating sense of ethics this
may be as reprehensible as Bingham's engaging of Eyanson
for aid on tariff legislation.
The, resolution itself admits that Bingham had no cor
rupt intentions. If he had not, then the error was one of
judgment only and does not merit the heavy rebuke the self
righteous Norris imposes. Under the sanctimony of farm
relief senators have appropriated hundreds of millions,
would now overhaul radically tariffs for the benefit of the
farmer: but when a senator from a highly industrialized
- state makes an earnest effort to protect his own constitu
ents'. that seems to rate almost as high treason, and "tends
to bring the senate into dishonor and disrepute."
The resolution itself heightens our contempt for the
Norris claque.

By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner of Health, Jfev York City.
O short a time ago as 1900 there was much concern as to wh ther
or not the food supply of this great country would last. Ominous,
warnings were sent out for the conservation of food. This hardly
seems possible when you look around today at the markets glutted
not only with the necessities, but with the lux
uries and delicacies for serving on the table.
Today raw foods In this country exceed all
expectations in the efficiency of their production.
Machinery is utilized in many marvelous ways.
Wheat comprises one-third of our energy food
and it is produced under the greatest efficiency.
It is said that each bushel of wheat represents '
about thirty minutes of man labor. This effi
ciency in the production of our raw materials
needed for food leaves much leisure because
with this efficiency came higher wages and fewer
hours for work.
0 American food standards have men, but we
hear little about the high cost of living. As a
people we are less and less concerned about the
need of food, clothing and shelter. We have
lost all fear ox a shortened food supply.
It has been said that "the more vigorous and
long-lived the race the better utilization can it make of its natural
lesources. The labor power of such a race is greater, more intense,
more intelligent and more inventive." . , . . .A , .
One of the most important ways of maintaining vital efficiency
Is to conserve our natural resources '
sugars and fats. Add te your diet
preen vegetables, fresh and stewed
fruits. Exercise freely In the fresh
air and practice deep breathing-.

Many families In America have
arning-s which leav considerable
margin for other things than the
necessities of life. This may ba
spent or saved..
Although the cost of living has
risen to soma extent In the past tew
years. It is relatively stable. Rising
wages have brought with them lei
sure. This increasing leisure has a
direct bearing upon the health of the
people. Increased expenditures are
made for goods and service. It tends
te create new needs.
Considered from the health stand
point, this Increased leisure brings
with it less fatigue and more outdoor
life. Sports of all kinds are Indulged
in and benefits are derived for mind
and body.
But there Is another side. In
creasing leisure presents new prob

us physically unfit.
A wise and Judicious use of lei

Yesterday's fashions are not the fashions of today. Noraly
are fashions in dress constantly changing, but our daily habits

Conveniences have been invented and placed in use and life
