The proposed lecture tour of Sec retary Bryan has caused a great deal of adverse criticism upon the part of his political opponents, many of whom take the extremely narrow view that anything which cmcnatcs from the Commoner should be censured. It is therefore refreshing to read the following from the pen of Senator La l-'ollctt: "Secretary Bryan is the subject of a violent outburst of criticism be cause he is filling a number of lecture engagements contracted for before he became a member of President Wilson's cabinet. "The country has confidence in the integrity of Mr. Bryan and it is not ready to believe that he will cheat the government on his services. To do his best work as secretary he ought to take some time to recrea tion from the onerous and exciting duties of his great office. Every president and every cabinet officer leaves Washington for a few weeks during the healed term, One goes lo Oyster Bay, another Berkely, an other to Cornish, another to Yellow stone Park, another to the seashore. "Mr. Bryan goes to the Chautaun.ua platform. It is his recreation. It is not a discredit to iiim that he finds vast audiences eager to pay to hear his inspiring oratory. His lectures arc not partisan. He is a great preacher. Every man and woman, boy and girl who hears him is the better for it. He is entitled to spend his vacation time as best suits him, He will not neglect the duties of his important office for any personal advantage." DIFFICULT TO ANSWER. In commenting upon the suit re cently brought against Governor Wesl by the attorney general for the al leged unlawful use of the money in the revolving fund of the slate pen itentiary, the Oregon Journal very properly asks why the same techni cal oltjci-tion was not raised hy the Republican press against Itoweriuan, Chamberlain and others who have held the position of .jovrninr prior to the election of Wet. The uiies tiou is as pcrliiicut as it is dittu'llli to answer. SENSIBLE ADVICE At a luncheon given in honor oi Franklin K.

MOVEMENT LAUNCHED FOR EXHIBIT' AT EXPOSITION Commercial Club Starts Move ment At Regular Weekly Meeting Last Night. Meeting last night, the Albany Commercial club started the move ment for a joint meeting of represen tatives of the various commercial or ganizations in the Willamette valley at Salem during the Oregon State Fair for the purpose of providing a Willamette valley exhibit at the Pan ama exposition. The usual monthly bills were al lowed and a letter from Senator Chemberlain was read by Manager Stewart, indicating that the erection of the proposed federal building will be delayed for some time. The letter was as follows: C. H. Stewart, Secretary Albany Commercial club, Albany, Oregon. My Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 18th instant, in reference to the public building at Albany. The fact that the construction of this building under previous plans and specifications, was postponed, in hope that an additional appropriation might be made, has necessitated its losing its place in the supervising ar chitect's office, and it now stands at or near the foot of the list of build ings to be designed, advertised for, and constructed. It becomes neces sary now to prepare new pltfis and specifications, receive new bids, and go over the whole proposition again. The supervising architect's office is at least three years behind with its work. I have heretofore attempted to have them take up one of our public buildings out of regular order and place it near the head of the list, but have found that it is impossible to ac complish this. The reason for the stringency of the rule in this regard is to be found in the fact that each one of the innumerable buildings pro vided for from time to time finds champions in each of several com munities. Each town thinks it oc cupies a most important place on the map, and each town insists that there are public reasons why it should be made an exception of and considered first by the supervising architect's of fice. It has, therefore, been found impracticable to have these buildings taken up out of order. The architect's office ought not to be behind in their work. Its chief claims, of course, that congress fails to "ive large enough appropriations to furnish a sufficient force to do the work. Measurably this is true, but in the final analysis, in mv opinion, the trouble lies with the office itself, in preparing new plans and specifica tions for each of the many oublic buildings, when as a matter of fact one set of plans and specifications ought to be made to do for a great manv towns widely separated geo graphically and in interest. ( In order to meet this congested sit uation I have introduced a bill in congress which 1 shall endeavor to press at the coming regular session and which will authorize the employ ment of additional help by the super vising architect. In the meantime, when the deficiency hill comes up for consideration, some of us who are in terested in having this work expedit ed will endeavor to have a temporary appropriation allowed that will help to relieve the situation. I assure vou that I have not lost sight of Albany, and there are other I towns in our state in the same posi ' Hon notably Roseburg and The ! Dalles. It U because I have felt that ' these towns oucht to have their nuh- lic buildings completed that T intro- I mu'c1 thet m 1 ,n nycstioii. Nothing ' yo" c 111 uo tMcrc w" hasten matters jor relieve the situation. Do not think i for a moment that Albany is alone 1 in growing impatient. The same con- dition exists in every town in the United States where an appropriation na heen made tor a public building. With kindest personal regards to you and to all my personl friends in Albany.
