TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1917
The legislature has closed. As
Mark Antony said of Caesar, "the
evil that men do lives after them, the
good Is oft interred with their bones.
and so It is, perhaps, with legisla
tures.
But we do not speak Just here of
the late lamented session lu any dis
paragement, or to discuss its larger
deeds and apparent misdeeds. Rath'
er Is it our purpose to remark in
passing upon the record of our local
representatives.
Mr. Burdick, of Redmond, has
come through his first legislative
session with distinct credit. He has
proved himself capable, likeable and
balanced. He voted on the common-
sense side of nearly every question
and won the confidence and respect
of his fellow members. From a local
standpoint he has played fair and
has worked with bis joint represent
ative, Mr. Forbes, for the best inter
ests of this territory.
For Vernon A. Forbes, of Bend,
this was a third session. He entered
it with the advantages of experience
and prestige; he has emerged from
it with a record which is second to
that of no other, member.
As discerning a judge of legislative
efficiency as C. C. Chapman, of the
Oregon Voter, who has been at the
capital throughout the session, says,
"Forbes Is the smartset man in the
lower house." That is praise worth
having, and pralee well deserved in
jhli Instance.
Mr. Forbes made good. .The re
cord of his votes is worth examining.
It stands the test, both in state-wide
matters and where local affairs are
concerned. For Deschutes county
he certainly "brought home the ba
con,'1 and in all things labored dili
gently for his constituents.
Here, in detail, is what Mr. Chap
man says about Representative
Forbes In a recent issue of the Ore
gon Voter, while discussing county
division questions:
"The Deschutes county boosters
are succeeding in getting the legisla
ture to ratify a county division. There
was a vote, and on the face of the re
turns Deschutes county was cut off
from Crook county. Fraud was al
leged, and the case is now in the
courts for determination.
"But the enterprising people of
Bend, the county seat of the new
county, are not satisfied to let the
courts take their course. They are
ably represented by Vernon A.
Forbes, who Is so strong in the
House of Representatives that he car
ried the hill through and probably
will get it through the Senate.
"Forbes is the smartest man of all
the active floor leaders in the lower
house. He is quick, experienced and
resourceful. He is making his big
fight for Deschutes county, add is
strong enough to get favorable action
in the upper house."
He was strong enough. The vote
in the Senate was unanimous.

HIGH SCHOOL TO BE '
DEDICATED FRIDAY
FORBES, OF BEND.
(By C. C. Chapman, in Oregon Voter)
For sheer ability it is doubtful
whether any debater on the floor of
the house can be classed with Forbes,
of Bend. When he fails to carry Mb
point, it is because he outrages the
finer feelings of many members by
his cavalier contempt for moral con
victions. But he carries nearly ev
ery point he fights for, and when
he loses temporarily on the floor, he
wins later, as a rule by his quick
work in organizing the house to re
verse itself.
I have never coddled Forbes, al
though his abilities have compelled
my admiration. But I believe in
"giving the devil his due," and I
will say this that Forbes' word in
a political promise is absolutely re
liable; he does not straddle; he plays
his kind of a game square. While I
cannot bring myself to believe that
he is ever unselfish, I must admit
he is forceful, consistent, courageous
and some scrapper.

(By United Preaa to The Daily Bulletin)
NEW YORK, Feb. 20. The steam

carrying contraband to brave the
German blockade since the break in
German-American relations, which
sailed from this port on February 9,
is due in the submarine zone on her
way to Bordeaux today.
The Orlean is a 6000 ton freight
steamer laden with contraband for
the French government. Whether
news will come today that she has
been sunk without warning by the
Germans, remains to be aeen. The
Orlean sailed unarmed, unstriped,

The company of 200 children that
recently enacted Grimm's fairy tale
"Snow White" in the picturesque
surroundings of Northern Ohio, were
trained for three months. Before the
picture was made, the children pre
sented Wlnthrop Ames' -version on
the stage. The representation was
hailed as an unusual artistic success
and when the run was concluded, re
hearsals were immediately started
for the film production, the story
having been adapteeV for the scroen
by Director Charles H. Weston and
William Ganson. Rose, the well
known author.
This remarkable film will be
shown at the Grand Theatre at two
matinee shows, the first at 2:30 and
the second at 3:45 Thursday after
noon, Washington's birthday at the
Grand Theatre.
The shortcomings of the stage were
appreciated as Boon as nature's own
settings were substituted for the
painted scenery. In the picture-play
presentation, scenes are shown that
would amaze the Brothers Grimm
themselves.
