If Lloyd-George bad resigned with torn thee, the war would have been greatly advanced. He was prevailed up on to remain but evidently at the end nf last, week, he found the state of torpidity and self-satisfaction of his 'oMeagiios in the face of his repeated set-backs impossible to a man of his visum and patriotism. Of those col leagues, writing as I am an article -which will appear in some 800 American and Canadian newspapers, I prefer only to say that they were men who wouldn't believe the war was coming when it did, and who hadn't an idea of its tremend ous portent for our race. In tuy Own newspapers I have spok . on much more plainly so plainly in deed, that I find myself occasionally the best abused man in the country. Wheu last week Lloyd-George decid ed to smash the party machine wherein he was entangled, he toot his courage in both hands. I do not believe he had any personal ambitions in the matter at air. Events made him prime minister a position almost as powerful as that of your president. But his desire was that this distinction should be conferred on another. - Indeed for some hours, it look ed as though it would be the Scotsman, Honar Law, rather than the Welshman, Lloyd -George.

Those three, with Lord Derby, have produced a miracle whereof all the world is talking. In a few days they have formed a government marred, it is true, by inclusion of some notable former failures, but enriched by the brains of business men and new politic ians. The greater part of the work was done by Lloyd-George himself. He is constntly referred to here as the "Lit tle Welshmnn," but he is not at all "little." You probably have his por trait before you. His head is not that of a little man, mentally or physically It is the head of a man in which the sparkle of genius is combined with Cel tic energy, and intense industry. ' Is Tireless Worker. During the greater part of the week he has been at the war office until three in the morning, returning to the dif ficult task of trying to make a com posite national government six hours later. I do not often see him, but I did just before he made his decision and he then appeared tired looking older than his 5.'i years. Within a few hours of his telling Asquith he could no longer re main iri his company, he looked 10 years younger. I have seen him at two other crisis of the war first when he got the shells which the government and the army had forgotten to provide; second, when he nearly oh, so nearly accomplished the unification of Ireland. On each of these occasions, as during the past week, the man revealed him self a human dynamo. Every every is focused on the immediate task at hand. He combines the persuasiveness of the I Irishman with the concentration of the American and the thoroughness of the Englishman. I His critics say he tires too quickly at ! his task.

He doesn't seem to have settled hours for his meals. Dur ing the past week his diet seemed to consist principally of cigars and tea, but I believe he takes breakfast usually, additions to this meal over-winding one or another. With the diffic-.lt but necessary hu man units in a proposition which he is dealing be has the unusual gift of gen ius that of getting other people to do things- Ofter the people to do things. Often they are the right people but not always. Making a government, I suppose is the same the world over, but making a real war government, such as we are making, is not quite as easy a task as handing out places to hungry politicians in peace times. Lloyd-George tried to the best of his ability to gather around him representa tives of all that is best in British life. Distance aud circumstances alone pre vented inclusion in his cabinet of men like Lord Shaughnessy of Montreal, or W. H. Hughes, prime minister of Aus tralia. He has had to do his picking and choosing with lightning rapidity, be cause iB war time, the value of time is quintupled. Will Win the War. The government he has formed will last, but it needs pruning. It contains too many of what are known in the Uni ted States as "has beens. " It is cum bered with too many fossil representa tives of a past age. None knows exact ly how they got there but I think 1 know the reason. This quick determin ed, energetic Welshman is a little too kind hearted. Nevertheless, he had formed a govern ment which will cause rejoicing through out the empire, especially among the soldiers facing their third winter in the trenches. At the beginning of the wi!k, his po litical opponent didn't seem able to make a government. Now they think his wont last. I Wd a different opin ion. I believe he will be the head of the ijOVPTiiment that wins the war. brings settlement of the Irish question, and maintains the essential factors good a iipmni E TEAL KIRKPATRiCK NAMED Continued 111 Health Cause of Resignation Successor Is From Dallas Oorernor Withycombe today re ceived and accepted the resignation of John B. Teal, County Judge of Polk county, and appointed as his successor K. C. Kirkpatrirk of Dallas. The new appointment becomes effective as of noon today. Mr. Teal 's resignation eoines as a result of continued ill health. He has held office for four years, his term expiring January 1919. Mr. Kirk patriek is a son o Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick of Lebanon. He has been a resident of Dallas for about thirty vears, is a sue ccssful business man; and is at pres ent mayor of Dallas. Mr. Kirkpatrick was nominated by President Taft as United States mar shal for Oregon, but a democratic sen ate refused to confirm the nomination. "Spooks" at the Grand This Sunday Night Materialization of the spirits that in habit the world just beyond the senses is what Dr. Eddy proposes to make the main portion of his psychic demonstra tion this Sunday night at the Grand. It is said Dr. Eddy has accomplished much in the occult world that is unbe lievable to him who has not seeu his demonstrations. It is said be has been mentioned in connection with the chair of experimental spiritism that is to be established at the Smithsonian Institute at Washington. Instead of calling for the dim cabinet and shaded lamp, Dr. Eddy is said to give his experiments in the full glare of the lights and in front of the committee. Besides the psychic demonstrations that Dr. Eddy makes manifest, if is said he brings the spirit land before the spectators so that those who came to doubt go away convinced that there is more in the psychic world than would appear possible to the man who does not look below the surface. Among the many manifestations prom ised will include slate writing, material ization and de materialization, floating tables and chairs, and similar phenom ena. will between the people of the English speaking nations of the British empire and the people of the United States- CHEESE FACTORY PRO CHESSES Evergreen Cooperative cheese factory expects to be in running order by March 1, 1917. Contractors Dahl and Son, in spite of the heavy rains and wind storms, hav. been keeping their men constantly at work. The factory is to have steam power and heat. The main floor is to be 28 by 64 feet. There will be three other rooms, store supply and work rooms, in te main' flo;r will be vats which are expected to handle from 4,00 Oto 5,000 pounds of milk each day. It' for any reason it would be desirable to have a creamery instead of the cheese factory, the machinery which is being shipped from Portland is so arranged that it may be used equally well for that purpose.

University Notes "Social Service of the Church" will be the theme of Dr. C. G. Doney's ad dress next Sunday evening, December JO. at Jason Lee Methodist church. His topic deals with the matter of making the church of greater practical helpful ness to all classes of people. Dr. Doney 's address is to be given under the aus pices of the Jason Lee Service Circle, an organization just formed "for the pur poses of promoting the practice during the week of principles preached and taught on Sunday. No further free public lectures of the Willamette faculty members will occur until January 22. At that time Dr. John O- Hall, professor of social sciences, will lecture on the sociological topic, "Rem edies Against Poverty." To fill the vacancy recently made by the resignation of Mrs. U. G. Shipley and Miss Marv Reynolrs from the Y. W. 0. A. advisory board. Mrs. R. L. Math ews and Mrs. F. H. Thompson were re cently elected to the position. Although welcoming new members, the university women greatly regret the absence of two such firm frieuds of their organiza tion. According to the last issue of the Wil lamette Collegian a club has been form ed among red headed students at Ober Hn college to be designated as the Or der of the Golden Fleece- Rome agitat ors in favor of such an organization in Willamette has been heard, but as yet no definite plans have, been launched to sponsor it. Inasmuch as such favorable reports are being heralded from the music, hall when the ladies' club members rehearse, Director F. W. Chace has decided to hold the initial concert of that club early in February. This marks a new era in the history of this musical organiza tion inasmuch as the annual concert is rarely held before the latter part of April or early in May. Dr. Chace has been quoted as saying that "the ladies' club this year is the strongest Willam ette has had in many years." Such as sures a brilliant concert for all lovers of good music at an early date. The repertory will be new in the way of chorus numbers and obligato work and possibly will include selections on the. pipe organ by Dr. Chace and other students of the conservatory. In addi tion to violin and piano selections it. is highly probable that some talented out side singers will be obtained especially for that concert. The personnel of the club as selected by competitive tryouts is: First so prano, Ruth Spoor, Carrie Cooksey, Lola Coolcy, Lela MacCaddam, Grace Slier wood, Alberta -Goulder, Margaret W'ble; second soprano, Ruth Winters, Glenn Teeters, Louise Benson, Lucile Met 'ally, Violet Maclenn; first alto, Carolyn Sterling, Maude Maclean, Ve nita McKinuey, Vcbna Baker; second alto Beatrice Donnett, Ruth Hodge, Pauline I.iska, Freda Campbell. Of much benefit, and delight have been the regular morning chapel hour services of the past week for a generous amount of inspirational worth has mark ed the brief morning intermission. On Monday -Miss Lela MacCaddam sang Tasebenmaeher ' delightful lyric, "But terfly Time. Dr. Doney gave several helpful talks and Mrs. Charles Parks of the city Y. M. C.

Owing to the complete absence of the little green caps, university freshmen are not as conspicuous by their presence in the Capital City these days. The en actment of the rule is suspended by student liody action until Washington's birthday on which date they must again be donned and worn until Mayday.

Hubbard Enterprise. THIS IS THE INSURANCE CARRIED BY SKOVGAARD, THE DANISH VIOLINIST ON HIS LEFT HAND I C imlng to The Grand Dec. 22, with a ' Hew York Metropolitan company I Tom Kay Metamorphoses Into Comedian in "The Dictator" There have been a lew notable in I stances in this country where prominent actors have turned politician and made j goo at it. Perhaps the best known and' most recent cast of tan kind is that of Julius Kahn. United States congress-1 man from alitornia, who netorc en tering the political game was an actor, and a passably good one. But as far as anvone knows at least up until a month ago no prominent politician in tins country has ever turned actor. Now, however, the miracle has come to pass, and to the Honorahle Tom Kay treasurer of the state of Oregon, be longs the unique distinction of being the first big government official to blossom torth as a lull Hedged thes pian. What is this all about F Listen! Tom Kay is one of the bright partic ular sta -s who will shine in Richard Harding ')avis' internationally famous farce i' ...edy success "The Dictator", which the CherriHns will stage at the Grand theater on the evenings of De cember 14 and 15. with an all-star cast of Cherrian actors. The Honorable Mr. Kay plays the part of Corporal Manuel, the revolutionary hero of the Central American republic of San Manana. whrc the action of the play takes place, and where revolutions arc the principal business of the government Kay Knows How Mr. Kav was wished into the all-star cast of "The Dictator" by the late King Bing Deckcbach, who is the man ager of the show, and who, after care fully examining the part of Corporal Manuel, declare, 1 that the versatile state treasurer wns the only man in town who could plav it. Corporal Man uel is a politician of the first water. He changes his politics every time a revolution occurs, which in San Manana is about once a month. King Bing said that although in real life Mr. Kay did not actually do this, yet he had enough experience in politics to know exactly how it should be done. In the play Corporal Manuel is also an expert poker player, and the king, who, by the way, is not exactly an am ateur at the great American pastime, gave it as his expert opinion that no one on the Cherrian roster was so well qualified to "put over" the big poker scene in the third act as the amiable Mr. Kay. The late King Bing's estimate of Mr. Kay's ability as a play actor has turned out to be absolutely correct. At the cloee of the first rehearsal, a month ago, James Mott, under whose expert direction "The Dictator" is being stag ed, solemnly declared that Tom Kay was the worst actor in the world. Since that time, however, all has c hanged. It did not take the Honorable Tom long to grasp the real significance of the part, and when he did grasp it bo threw into it his whole heart and soul. The hidden spark of dramatic genius which has remained so long hidden in the breast of Mr. Kay and which no one except Frank Deckcbach ever suspected AURORA HOP NOTES The Henry Bccke lot of hops (Dp Foon renter) was sold last week to the Wolf Hop company at 10 cents.
