SOCIETY Because of her unusual position as the 'only woman in the Twenty-ninth legis lative assembly of the state of Oregon, am the first woman to preside over the j horse of representatives from the speak ier's chair, Mrs. Alexander Thompson vesterday received a telegram from the New York World asking for her opinion on the great crisis that now confronts the nation. The telegram reads as fol lows: ".Mrs. Alexander Thompso, State j Capitol, Salem, Ore. Will you kindly wire collect 10U words your view of the international crisis ami the duty of American men and women. The World." In reply to this request Mrs. Thomp son sent the following: "The American nation is a peaceful j nation. Never has it takeu up arms ex eept in defense of right. Never has it drawn a sword except at the behest of 'Teason. Never has American blood been ehed except in a just cause. The fact that we are not recognized as a great military nation assures the world at j largo that we love peace. Since the beginning of tho frightful war in Eu rope the United States, through its matchless leader, Woodrow Wilson, has stood for pence with honor and while assuming an attitude of sympathy for stricken Kurope has steadfastly pre served a neutral position. "Prudence would dic tate that this po sition be maintained. But the exigenc ies of the present grave crisis which confronts the nation seem to call for a reversal of our attitude. Clouds and dnrkness are around us; our nation's honor is at stake, and this is no time tor petty fault finding and criticism. The president, I believe, has taken the only honorable stand possible under the circumstances. His position in the mat ter calls tor patriotic ami loyal support of every man and woman in America today."

Several representa tive business men of Portland were present to speak against the measure being reported back to the house fav orably and others pressed the matter lor a favorable report. Rev. G. L. Tufts, superintendent of the weekly day of rest league, spoke in iavor or tne mil anu said that its provisions did not apply to the sale of drugs, medicines, gasoline, or other nec essary articles, nor did it apply to the members of any religious sects who ob served another day than Sunday. He declared it was framed to aid the husinessman who is shut up in his store six days of the week and mostly sev en. He asserted that man needed one day of rest in seven as it would pro mote the public, health and give men a chance to enjoy their families. He said it aided public morals and that one clay of rest was needed to preserve the welfare of the country and insure its prosperity. Rev. H. G. Thurston, of the Seventh Day Adventist church, denied the right under the constitution to legislate in this manner. He quoted an authority that, stated that "governments have no right to punish a citizen whether he professes a religion or none." How can a religious standard be set up and then punish those who disobey. The burden will fall on the non-Christian. He said the power to legislate was over things temporal and uot over things spiritual. Ho said the proposed legislation was wrong and against the highest instincts of man. He declared all Sunday legis lation a result of pagan Rome. Carl Gregg Doney, of Willamette uni versity, took up the cudgels in favor of the Sunday closing law and declar ed the opponents of the measure were tryiug to raise a religious issue that was not in it. The measure was intend ed to aid the poor man, the worker, who is compelled by force of economic necessity to work seven days in the week. He quoted the historianMeauley who said that it was because of the observance of Sabbath for over 300 years that our civilization was firmly founded. He declared that one day of rest is written in the bible of human nature and that the product of the man who works seven days is less in quantity and poorer in quality. He said the men work not because their employers are hardhearted but because they are press ed to the limit. He said it was not re ligious legislation but humanitarian. Dan Kellaher of Portland, charged that the people did not wish Sunday (dosing, that in Portland they voted it down by large majorities. He cited elec tion figures in Portland and showed that 10,297 voted for Sunday closing and 23,502 against. In California, he said they voted Sunday closing down by a vote of 290,674 for and 457,890 against. He declared that people all over Oregon from, the ranges of the eastern part to the cities of the west ern did not want such legislation. Other speakers against the measure were J. E. Dunn of Portland; W. T. Hume, ex-district attorney for Multno mah county; C. E. Monroe, president, of the Independent retail grocers league of Portland, and Mr. Hayward, a Sev enth Day Adventist. Mrs. Ada Wallace XTnruh, noted pro hibition worker, spoke in behalf of the bill, and Rev. Tufts closed the argu ment. Regarding a statement of Rev. Tufts concerning certain amendments up before the people in Portland, Dan Kellaher point blankly charged that it was an untruth, and Rev. Tufts de clared his statement was made on the authority of one who was supposed to know. The committee took the matter un der advisement.

Except for a few known pro-German newspapers and those representing the clerical party, the whole Spanish press is a unit in approval of a firm course by Spaiu, at whatever cost. Knthusias ; tic approval is voiced of the course tak- en by the I'nited States. "Humanity should be grateful to the I'nited States," declared K) Pais in an editorial typical of the general attitude of the press. American Ambassador Willard at Madras has been in the closest touch with Premier Romuiiones during the last few days. Madrid dispatches today did not indicate whether Spain has yet prepared formally to answer frcmcnt Wilson's invitation to all neutrals to join with America. Presumably such action awaits Germany's receipt of the note which Spain will send today. PUT CREAM IN NOSE AND STOP CATARRH Tells How To Open Clogged Nos trils and End Head-Colds.

Adopted at Salem, Oregon, February 5, 1917. Rest Day Rallies Held Two bills now before the legislature the one day of rest in seven (S. B. 146) and the Sunday rest (H. B. 22) bills were discussed Sunday by Dr. G. h. Tufts of Portland at ihe Leslie M. E. church in the morning and at the South Salem Friends church at night. In discussing these measures, Dr. Tufts said in part: "Tho laws or health demand that all workers shall have one dav of rest in seven. Medical science teaches that he who labors every day will shorten his life by ten years on the average. Vet there are sonic 30.000 seven day per week toilers in Oregon. They are on the street cars of Portlanl and Salem. on our railways and other public util ities, in our work shops and factories, in our stores, homes and hotels, and in many trades and avocations of the peo ple. Our text declares that, 'Six days may work bo done, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holv unto the Lord.' "As far as practicable the weekly rest day should fall on the clay set apart by the people as their day of worship, whether it be Saturday or Sun day. There is no need of mercantile bus iness being conducted niore than six dav of the week. The proposed law gives the Jew and the Adventist their choice of Saturday or Sunday closing. All others will be closed on Sunday, the common American rest day. This will promote the public health, the do- U, G. Shipley Co 145-147 N.

A WOMAN'S VOCATION One of our modern writers has said, "A woman is as efficient in business as a man when she is." The reason why sometimes she is not so efficient is that her health may fail. But the wise business woman knows now what to do when attacked by the ailments peculiar to the so called "weaker sex." That, greatest of all remedies for woman 's ills, Lvdia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, has been (freeing women from such ail ments for forty years. Try it, if yon suffer from such an ailment, and in sure competency and efficiency in the business world.

PAY-LESS AS WELL AS PAIN-LESS DENTISTRY THAT'S PROTECTED No greater evidence of the solid character and good faith of the Painless Parker dental organization can be found than in the strength of the guar antee given every one of its patients. The hop-skip-and-a-jump tooth-tinkering carpet-bagger couldn't offer any such assurance to his customers, and be justified in making that kind of sweeping promise. There are twelve Painless Parker dental offices in the United States, two in Oregon, one in Wash ington, eight in California, and one in Brooklyn, N. Y. Any individual who has had dental work done in any one of these offices is entitled to follow-up work on the operation, free of charge, in any of the twelve offices he may care to visit. In other words, if any hidden fault in our dentistry comes to light, every one of our offices are eager to remedy the defect without cost to the patient. On top of that, we urge our patients to call at least once every six months and have the dental work given a thorough examination so that the job may be always kept up in first class shape. Think what this means to you ! Your tooth work furnished you at the lowest possible figure, esti mated on the basis of A-No. 1 dentistry. Your work done by specialists, all of whom " are, or course, regularly licensed. And, after that, your teeth watched regularly examination and consul tation free, and no charge made for putting old work in good condition. What value is there in the guarantee of an individual dentist, who promises you, say a blanket ten-year pledge that his tooth-carpentry will be protect ed? He may move away, or quit his trade, or die. And then where are you? They make a big hul abaloo about my conducting a dental organization of nation-wide scope, with scores of dentists aid ing me in the different cities where I have offices. But it helps a lot when you move from your town to another to discover the Painless Parker office in the new place ready to see that your chewers are all in good working condition. Think it over!
