Mutual friends have told me that you are a candidate for re-election as Republican National Committeeman tills year, and I am constrained to send just this word of Appreciation for your splendid service on the committee all the time that I was chairman. Your election as vice chairman of the national committee was the fullest possible evidence of the committee's gratitude to you and their confidence In yonr great future , usefulness to the committee and to ' the party.

Until that time I solicit your continued support. R. H. JONAS. EDITORIAL from the MORNING 0REG0NIAN Jilt. WILI JAMS FOR COSNnTTEE MAN Will H. Hays, who hut lately re tired as chairman ibf the republican national committee, pays tribute in a telegram to the service performed to the republican party by the com mitteeman for Oregon, R;ilph E. Wil liams. Mr. Hays should know. His testimony may be accepted as some thing more than a mere polite and formal expression of approval, to be expected from one memher of the or ganization for another; for It Is sup ported by the entire committee, which, not many months ago. by the unanimous vote of the representa tives of forty-eight states elected Mr. Williams vice-charman. He is the oldest member in point of service, and It Is obvious it Is not denied by anyone that his standing with the heads of the republican party Is very high. The national committeemanship la a party Job. It pays nothing In sal ary but it carries many responsiblli I ties, and calls for work. Its rewards I are. of course, recognition of leader ship, and the prestige and influence that go wth it. Mr. Williams has ( been the committeeman for Oregon I or fourteen years, and ib a candidate i 1 for re-election. There Is no good 1 reaon why he should not be elected; I there are good reasons why he i js!::;ukl be, the most obvious and un - answerable of which is that he has a Inch plate with the committee, is on terms of Intimacy and confidence i with the national leaders of the re- I publican party, is in line for the na-1 ttn;:al chairmanship, and can, and doubtless will, perform service which I no new man. whatever his qualities, . can possibly perform. The Oregonian is reluctant to in- . terfere in the contest for national 'committeeman; but the advantages "to the republican party In Oregon of Mr. Williams' election are so plain that It feel that it should point them out. The Beaverton Times is not dead. Although you may rave seen its obituary In Its would-be successor, the slur was- unmerited and 111 be comes the one who uttered It. We sold the Times to Mr. Walker the day before we left Beaverton, at a price which he agreed to and on his own terms. He did everything but pay down the money. But a,s soon as we were conveniently out of the way, he began at once to make plans to take the field without the trouble of carrying out his agree ment to buy. Then, to give color to his proposed scheme and to establish a sort of alibi, he wrote us offering 26 per cent of theprlce he had agreed to pay, and that not In real money, but Just his note. We telegraphed him that we would take just half of what he agreed to pay if he would make It cash. He didn't reply but comae to you with a sneer about the Times lacking proper burial and asks you for two dollars that he may start a new paper. What do the people of Beaverton want? A legal paper that has stood the test of years, that is established for legal advertising and with the outside advertisers, or a new ex-1 periment? j Education In Toys.

Man Hot Unlike Lower Animals. Darwin says that wiping is a habit that "must have been acquired since man branched off from the common progenitor of the genus homo and of the nonweeplng anthropomorphous ape." This assertion causes us to ar rogate to ourselves one more point of difference between us and the lower animals, until we reud on and find an account by this same author of an Indian elephant, which, when held cap tive, sobbed bitterly while tears rolled down his face.

When the same engine baa been heated to operating temperature, tbli clearance will have decreased 75$, or to 11000 of an inch. Likewise, s main crankshaft bearing having a clearance of about 11000 of an inch when cold, will show a decrease in this clearance at operating temperature to less than JK1000 of an inch.

The right My at all operating temperatures For this reason Zerolene oils have at all engine temperatures exactly toe required body to splash and flow freely into the fast-moving, mail-clearance bearings to provide an ad equate film of lubricant Because of thetr "oiliness," Zerolene oils cling to bearing surfaces, and at the same time ofler in themselves a minimum of resistance to the engine power going to the driving wheels.

"Nan Is such a dear girl," Daisy said, "1 do wish Bhe would take a little more lu :ereat In men. 1 reully cutiuot bear to think of Nun living alone all her rluys. And she Is so provoklngly distant." Don smoked rumlnatlngly. "Like my friend Bob," he remarked. "Now take Bob, good honest fellow, kind, gentlemanly and successful In business yet, a woman hater." "Ob 1 1 shouldn't call him that ex actly," Don's wife defended, "It's Just that Rob Reynolds has bad so muny fussy females In his own family that he Is cautious. You know, yourself, you would bate to risk being tied for life to anyone resembling his married sister. Then, too, Bob is satisfied In bis profession, so he Just 'steers clear.' " "Hut he needs a sympathising un derstanding companion," Don insisted. Daisy sighed. "No more than my lone, lovely Nan needB a protecting uushund." she replied. Then the two Involuntarily smiled. "If we could manage a meeting be tween them," suggested Daisy. Don shook his bead. "Can't be done," he answered decisively. "Bvery time I invite old Hob out he stispiet. the niutch-ipkit.g propensity of the happily married, and refuses." Daisy iiuiHled. "1 know," she aiilii, "Nun ta Juki that way. 'Who else Is coming? slie will ask me di'ilantly." Tlie Hie enn'kleii on, Daisy slipped over tn the friendly arm of her mis hand's dmir and still snt gazing uimli tuiiVL'ly into the rosy depths. "Dim," sliv Hiiid hi last, "while we are In New York next week will y.ti, ask itolt to drop Into the flat occiihIoii ully ami see that things are all rij;lit? "Good Idea." Don heartily areud. "Hob will enjoy looking after your fernery, Daisy; you know he is an ad mirer of yours." Bob was well pleased to oblige his friends. The thought of an uninter rupted evening among Donald's well ehonen buoks was inviting. He htted the latchkey which his friend hud bestowed upon him and entered the deserted vestibule. AH was In readi ness for bis coming, us Don hud said. As he switched on the living-room lights he suw a dish of polished red apples on a table beside the (i reside chair. Heveral new pieces seemed placed for bis selection on the rand piano. tie hastily shut off the myriad lights as he dropped to the hearth rug, leaving the golden shaded lamp aiune for his use. And as Bob bent to build the fire he discarded his coat. From u rear room came crooulngly the chirp of a bird. Bob arose, Don had not ! mentioned the added care of a bird, and here he. Bob, had allowed two days to elapse before visiting his friends home after their departure. The tiny creature might be suffering now for want of food. Softly, on the thick rugs, Boh made bis way in the direction of the bird's mtirmurlt gs. The cage hung tn a high kitchen win dow, and standing upon a stool before the cage was a girl. The bright lights of the white kitchen fell upon her bronze-gold hair ; and presently, bb though sensing his presence, the girl turned abruptly, and losing her bal ance fell with a startled cry directly Into Bob's outstretched arms. It seemed tbat be had anticipated that fall from the moment the girl turned her white face toward blm. A quick stride found him at the side of the high stool. It took him some time, however, to realise that the young woman's alarm was occasioned by bis own presence. Then Bob, holding her and vainly endeavoring to reach the faucet in or der to dampen her forehead with re viving water, wondered vaguely how In the world this strange youns. wom an came to be In the deserted apart ment which Don assured him was locked against intruders. For a mo ment the dizzy thought assnlled him that he had mistakenly ectered the wrong apartment. Then the pale faced young woman found voice, "I don't know," she said, "what you are doing here." She surveyed Bob's coatless ligure. "But if you are a bm-giHi-, won't you pleiiBe go?" "Burglar!" Bob gasped. He realized that the young woman was endeavor ing to free herself from his close sus taining graxp. Also, tlmt a must be coming mse color had banished the ashy whiteness and that her affright ed eyes were now glinting dangerous resentment. "Burglar!" he repented. I "Why I came to look after the ferns. , Don asked me to. I'm Jiis friend." I The young woman, sinking down on i a kitchen --hair. snared at him. "Not." ( she awked mockingly, "the paragon I Boh KeynoldsV I" her tone was ex 1 pressive, "have heard of you. Daisy made me promise to look after her ' bird every evening. 1 am Daisy's I friend." j "Not," mimicked the man. "the rare ly perfect Nan? 1 have heard of you." i And when it so liaiipeuud not many : weeks later that Hob Reynolds proud ! ly untiomiced his engagement to the 4 two friendly cnnaplriitors, krt. laughed. "Hob had to tuke me." she reproved Daisy, "l'ou fairly threw me at his head." "Meaning," said Nan's lover happily, "that you, my dear, dropped promptly into my arms." t. 1111. by UcClun Newapeper Syndicate.) Dot and carry, dot and carry ! Bob's crutch struck the stony ground am lifted, as In regular swing be skipped down the hill road In bis own eccen tric way, one shoulder lifted by the crutch, the other drooping with the bend of the well knee, "Have a ride?" The sweet voice rang above the chug of the engine as the automobile came to a sudden stop. "Going to the village? I'll give you lift" She spoke ' in a careless, com radely voice, as though every day she took In unknown cripples and landed them at unknown destinations. "8ure I" be cried, deftly lifting blm. elf through the door to the back seat of the touring car. Doris Berkeley didn't offer to help. She released the brakes and slid Into the road again. "Where to, oh prlnrte?" "Golf linkB," he replied. "Golf! All right; here goes." The road was winding, now through woods and now along cliffs dipping to the river1. The car ran with an occasional catch, "Brake out of order? (Jan I help?" Bob Randall listened. "Knock lhg, Isn't she? Oh, all right. 1 didn't mean to butt In; go on, please." Doris laughed. "I am sensitive about my driving, I suppose. I've had HI luck all day; now do you dare ride with me?" "To the death;" Bnld Bob, more sol emnly than he Intended. Inwardly he was swearing at his wooden leg and luck generally ; but he did know the value of a brave front, and Used It. With all the money in the world, had he a right to ask any woman to marry half a mini? The da.Hh and simp resnhitlun that had made him a remarkable aviator gave him many a jolr as he limped through his days, by denilinj! on a future course sure to please his glorious spirit, only to Hud It Impossible to his maimed body, however expert be might become In the use of imiKeiiliift limbs and tools. So, with his heart and soul insisting "Tlinu art the girl," his mind and will clumped down the lid of de sire with the iron of fair play. "There! It's Jammed again I Oh can you Jump? You can't, of course!" Doris tugged at the wheel In despair but It would not move. "We're going over I'm sorry " and she held the wheel as the fence crashed with the impact. The car pitched at right angles Into the top of a tall sapling, and slid, jerked, buzzed, down its bending length to the beach beneath, stopping with the front wheels In the water. The slide of 20 feet was, thus broken, not more exciting than a good loop-the-loop at the park, but the girt felt the grip of responsibility before there was time for fear, and the man cursed his Impotency to help as a roan who was not a wreck a thing an idiot might help. To be strong and useless 1 what a pain! All was still. Doris unfolded from the bottom of the car where the drop landed her, and peeped over the seat, "What? Aren't you dead? Thank heaven, though I've little right to even speak of heaven, after risking your life this way. How could I guess It would Rd so? It did It this morning, and lauded me In the ditch, but the garage man said it was all right now," "Turned t too hard, that's all." Bob unscrambled the real and the artificial of his belungings and crept from the car. Holding by the back wheel, he handed her the crutch. "Can you vault? If you can, yon won't get wet I don't know how we will get out of this.' He looked up the sheer face of the cliff, "but first, let's get out of the machine, anyway. Sure, you're all right?" "Why, they're alive!" "Not after that fall! The voices came Incredulously from above their beads. Leaning over the- rail, two scared faces took account of conditions be low. "Can you walk?" "Sure!" called Bob, "if we had a chance." He looked up and down the rocky shore dubiously, "How Is the car?" "It looks all right; wet, of course." "Well, wait, and we'll get ropea and things from the garage." When the climb was made with the aid of engines and pulleys and many strong arms and Ingenious minds, two people rather shaken now that It was over, sat In the back seat, the girl smiling tremulously, but finding cour age in the face of the man, "Do you sllll want to go to the golf grounds." she sniu. "Well under the clrrtimstnnces " "Say," broke In a gruff and practi cal voice, "thut engine would go if It wasn't wet. As it is, we're going to tow yoiP' otne; take the wheel, one of you !" "Sleeting adjourned," whispered Bob, as he helped Doris over to the driver's seat. "There's to be a happy ending, isn't there?" She flinlleil noil leaned a bit on his shoulder as she passed. "Yes adjourned " she said, and he braced his youd foot against the Iron rail, and dreamed strong dreams as they went uu their way.
