Conspicuous evidence of capacity for this kind of leadership has been somewhat lacking as yet on the part of the inside steerers. Not that any very bad knots have been tied, but things do not hitch as well as they might. It really is from the opposition camp that the ablest floor leadership so far has sprung. There's Bean of Lane county he handled the big road bonding bill on the floor with splen did ability, getting some help from the organisation whips, it is true. But Bean can hardly be counted as In side the councils of the speaker whose ! election he opposed ti!l the eve of ! !h session. Bean, of course, doesn't get drunk. X THU CAIA OK TTIK BVSII.

The reor ganization of the committee bas highly displeased the pro gressive end with the result that George W. Perkins is com plaining to the skies. On the subject of the com mittee's reorganization this in teresting comment is by the Christian Science Monitor: It must be clear to those who hav? taken an interest in th: week's meec. tag of the executive committee of the National Republican Committee, in New Tork. that a great deal more tkan perfunctory courtesy must be ex tended to representatives of the pro reiivp element before the breach thai held accountable fur the losg of two president. al e!ec vltmed. As a matter of fact, the ex- fcatlv committee, as at present con stituted, is an insuperable bar to par ty unity, for it reflects, in personnel ud in sentiment, the "Old Guard" domination, to the elimination of wfcieli progrewivism stands commit Ved. It us a matter of common knowl edge that the progressives who re tained to the old party in the last cunpaigTi, on invitation, and on the strength of a promise that, In due. fjtn, their demands for -ertain re forms In the organization would be tnpMed with, are not represented in ay true, sense on that committee. It may be added that there is slight chance for real pro gressives to be given genuins recognition in the republican party for Borne year3 to come. The G. O. P. has been so close- mentary command that is valuable in handling a turbulent assemblage, for he is learning by experience, and al- Brownell has superlative ability as a persuader of Individuals and assem blages; also he Is without a peer in the house as a parliamentary tactici an. By sheer ability (certainly not by reputaUon) he Is weaving an in fluence that bids fair at times to b controlling. Irrespective of the wishes of the steering committee. Brownell'8 fine Itatian hand has r.ot lost its cunning with the years that have elapsed since he retired, discredited, after having served eight sessions In the state senate. la is now an old war horse, but the smell of battle makes his nostrils twtlch and his ears stand erect.

He knows Just what to do to get extended mention in the Portland dallies pub licity that advertises to the state his interest in constructive economy and his ability to get reiults while the In siders dally and fail. His voice Is a bit husky compared with its one time tarltone brilliance, but when he warms up It rings clear and persua sive upon attentive ears, for all sit in rapt attention when he declaims. ' He talks to the new members like a kind father, who wants to see them re-elected. Can it be that the old fox ' will enchant all the young crows until they drop their bones? j Some more who do not get drunk' are: j Thomas of Jackson oounty is dem onstrating considerable quiet effici ency, but like Bean, he is of the Bean camp. Crandall of Malheur county made the best speech of the session so far brief, eloquent. Impressive but he doesn't seem to be in anyone's camp and his Influence aside from that one effort has not appeared. Burdlck of Central Oregon and Ritner of Umatilla are clear-headed and active in floor work, but their voices are weak. Eaton of Lane has been ominously o.uiet. j Seymour Jones of Marion has been active and influential as one outside i the breastworks. Mrs. Thompson continues charm-' ing. tactful and delightfully influen-1 tlal, but obviously not cut out for rough floor work. j Button. Button, who will the leader be? Is the puzzle so far in the house,-; and unless strong leadership develops in the Btanfield camp, the adroit Prownoll may round up the uneasy. upon after several months of consideration. "We want all the help and advice we can get from wo men's clubs and from all the housewives of the land before we promulgate any fixed sys tem," said Mr. Caminetti. "By endeavoring to standardize the various kinds of work in house holds, by truly dignifying household work, a field will be opened to thousands of wo men and girls who hitherto have stayed away from it." Who w ill say that he is not i tions can be upon the right line? Is it not well known that social reasons, rather than economic, keep women from the field of house work? Wrhy is a household employe a servant any more than any other employe? A merchant does not call hi" clerks and bookkeepers ser vants nor does a farmer cal his workers by that term. Why should the ar of ho1lekeep,'r',' which vitally concerns hu man happiness be singled out for treatment that often bord ers on contempt?
