Dryness Out of Wetness How dryness comes out of wetness as well as good out of evil is succinctly set forth by Senator Robert N. Stanfield, the wet statesman who voles dry, as an aftermath to the inter esting exhibition he staged on a recent Sunday afternoon when some mean minion of the law pinched him for drunk enness. His stenographer was at the time feeding him in a Maker cafe, a performance evidently not sanctioned under eastern Oregon laws of hospitality, where it is permissible to iced babies in public but iyjt United States senators. The stars that Stanfield saw when the Baker policeman Tracked his nut with a gun, were so bright that he mistook Ihem for a great light. Convinced of the error of his way, .Hanfield has put the demon rum behind him and promised to sin no more; he has donned the white robe of parched puritanical purity and joined the front ranks of the ex-tanks enrolled among the "militant drys" of the Anti-Saloon League. The senator who fell victim to the laws he passed to regulate the other fellow, thus describes the miracle of his desiccation : What is It that those political enemies would lllie to have the people of my native slate believe or me? They would like to spread the belief that I am opposed to prohibition enforcement, despite the tact that my entire voting record on that question both in lhe Oregon legislature und In tho United States senate, gives testimony to the contrary. Very well, then, 1 accept the challenge and I shall ltence lorth not only continue to vote for prohibition enforcement hut I shall inililnnlly uphold it as actively as the most pronounced "dry.'' J he host defense to the charge that a man drinks Is the conviction In tho minds of the people that the men so charged never drinks on any occasion. This reputation will ho my answer hereafter to any repeti tion or attempted repetition of the Haker affair. I nm sure that the persons who involved me In the unpleasant publicity that attended the affair two weeks ago at Baker little thought that the ultimate result of their unworthy effort would be to ninke a militant dry out of me. That was probably the thougght that was rarlbest removed from their minds. Nevertheless, that Is exactly tho result that they have accomplished. And, ns I think It over, I find myself saying, "Well, I am glad of It." And so, ns I said before, good lias come out of evil.' In this remarkable effusion, Senator Stanfield, after crying frame-up and denying drunkenness, virtually admits the truth of the charges against him, promises to reform, to dry himself up as well as dry others up hereafter. The treat ment he received seems rather crude, but to have been quite effective. Now if other wet statesmen that vote dry are cracked over the head publicly, he may have plenty of com pany on (he mourner's bench. In spite of Stanfield's frantic efforts to win dry support, the Anti-Saloon League has announced that it will oppose his candidacy. His announcement that he will hereafter be a militant dry has lost him the support of those opposed to pro hibition without conciliating the offended drys. Playing both ends against the middle exposes his insincerity and leaves him without support worthy of the name a fate that ought to overtake all hypocrites in public office. At any rale, there will bo many dry eyes ut Stanfield's political funeral, which threatened at one time to be a wake. ing heraelt on the pluno. Now that they had itartod at last, had begun this new adventure, she had re solved to tuke whatever came. An dy didn't want her she could cling to that now. She had torn up the kodak picture of htm and thrown it away before she started. After all, she could stop at Reno on the way home, If she liked and if Andrew vas relaly willing to let her go. One must accept modern life as it came "till death do us part" was being crowded out of tho marriage ceremony nowadays Tomorrow ileu'itl J.ooks Aheud.

JAP EXPERT TO TEACH RICE EATING IN U. S. The Husband Tamer By Violet Dare a inrrim ri'P Gregory Hewitt put through hbi plana with haste Hint n.stouishod Patricia, nnd left even Keith nghaat What Impressed her even more than the wny In which he Juggled lilt business uffulra, however, was tho fact that he convinced Carol that she could leave tho baby at homo with hia corps of mimes, nnd Bo Jaunting off to the Pacific coast without worrying about hlnv Two weeltii rushed by. weeks full of event but not of Interest for Patricia, although she seemed full of ze.it to the others. Keith had but little time nowndays for Isobel Drake; ho was bnUy ar ranging his affairs so that he could be free to go on the momcntou western trip. There were luncheons nt the club nnd nt the vnrloii: charming homes that made up the club colony, women s lum-heoiut, nt which tho (Tucsts frankly envied Carol nnd Patricia. There were dinner) and dunces, where Patricia Wiin the center of the Interest; knowing of her frlendsdiip with flregury Hewitt, the men flocked n limit her; alt hough they vould not have admitted it, they wanted to know h:it this ymmg woman was like who could Interest so In fluential ft man as lie was. Hut to Patricia it was nsbi-:i and sawdust. Andy h.id rallied her of his arrival, but he hrtdn't written.

All three were Uugh Intf. Patricia wept bitterly over it nnd tore It In halves, and then hid patched them together again. "Thin Is Just what 1 nerd," she fold herself. 'Tvs got to top niop (117 nnd be sensible. Andy end 1 had onr romance, and now It'.. over, lie's got to have a wire who can etnnd the constant round of entertaining that ho likes. I can't Atnnd It.

Hut jthe slept with (he kodak picture beneath her pillow. Some times sho could fortet the two wo men it showed, and when she look ed nt It during the night by the light of the lamp on the beside table, could see only his beloved fHee. It wns only when she was with Gregory Hewitt that she could for got the ache at her heart. Ills per sonality was so dominating, so win ning, thnt no woman could well think of nnyoue but htm when he was with her. He made no further reference to tils hope of marrying her, realizing that to do so would mean her swift withdrawal from htm. He was con tent to let that wait until he could come to her with definite plans. And Patricia, hoping that he had abandoned tho Idea, took what Imp pines who could find as tho days whirled Mvirtly past her, nnd wrote carefully worded letters to Amlrow telling htm of Hewitt's promise to retain him as hi attorney a little later, telling or Keith's plum for the railroad and the mines, and of the western trip. Her pride kept her from writ ing him what she wanted to ay kept her from telling him how much she loved him. and begging 11 (ii to let her Join him. Hut flic was glad when nt Inst the day of departure arrived, and a)c and Carol and Keith Joined Irenory Hewitt at tho railway tation, and were escorted Into his private ear.
