OUR COMMERCIAL RIGHTS

UT is to be noted with graft
fication that the Wash
ington government has at
last dispatched to Great Brit
ain its note Of protest against
the unwarranted and illegal
treatment that has been ac-
corded our commerce by that
country.
We are among those who
had hoped that this would
have been done before now
but the administration un-
doubtedly felt that there were
good and sufficient reasons for
delay, particularly to the end
of avoiding any suspicion that
we were trying traffic with
Germany for our unquestioned
rights.
There was never a doubt
that the protest, in due season,
would be made. The admins
tration has done what was eX-
pected of it the country over,
and while the text of the note
has not been made public, there

The cold facts seem to be
that from the standpoint of
the two big parties the results
Tuesday amounted to a draw,
if they mean anything at all.

flowing toward Europe. What
will it accomplish? Those who
are going to the old country
are mostly foreigners Of course,
but they have had a taste of
our life. Those who have
been here even a few years

cannot find across the waters.
When they get back in the old
country will their hearts be

will they find satisfaction in
war and warlords and a vic

FROM THE PEOPLE
THE BABY HOME.

Portland. Ore. Nov. 3, 1915.
Editor East Oregonian:
As you may know, there is an in
stituuon in Portland called The
Baby Home, which was incorporated
tweniy-six years ago and which has
done most excellent work, as we be-
lieye in the care Of babies under three
years Of age This institution Is sup
ported In part by the state Of Ore
gon. but the principal support has
come from the citizens In and about
Portland although the inmates Of
the Home are brought 10 us from
every county in the state. We re-
ceiye no pay from the father or
mother who places the child in the
Home as in doing so We would re-
ceiye nothing from the state Some
times they show their appreciation By
making small donations
The expense Of running the Home
is about $1,000 per month. There
are sixty babies there, superintend-
ent, seven or eight day nurses, one
night nurse, one laundryman and the
yardman. our premises occupy about
three acres in the outer portion Of
the city just south Of 9unnyside.
We are not in debt but we have 10
raise about $3.50 each month to pro-
vide salaries Cthe officers Of the board
receive no pay). food, heating, light
ing and necessary appliances about
the Home, costing us last year 1856
per month for each child This you
may think is a high figure, but We
are under state supervision and sub
ject 70 state inspection, and the state
insists on the most modern appli-
ances. experienced nurses. and every
/ thing that tends to the latest system
in the care Of babies As a result
these little ones, although coming TO
US poorly nourished and sometimes
Of poor parentage. soon grow into life
and activity and are adopted out in
TO good homes where they become ex.
cellent citizens.
In the twenty-six years Of our ex-
istence as a Baby Home we have car
ed for more than 1900 Of these little
ones.
Our death rate is the lowest Of any
, institution Of its kind in the United
States.
The average number in the Home i;
sixty The average number received
each month is ten, and the average
number given out either for adoption
or returned to one or both parent,
Is about the same.
Our desire is to give some sort OF
publicity to these facts that the peo
pie throughout the state Of Oregon
may know there is such a valuablr
institution in their midst. and tina
they may feel and cooperate in thu
work Of IT,
At our last meeting ii was thought
a letter might be addressed to eaci
Of the more influential journals Of
the state asking that on Thanksglv.
ing daH We be given a shower; not Z
shower Of rain but shower Of smal
things necessary for the Home sucf
as clothing food supplies, includinl
flour. fruits ielles. etc, or none,

may prefer to send checks in smal
amounts. any Of which would be verl
acceptable at this time The Home
is n-sectarian.

aid you may give US, we are.
Very truly yours.

inadequate for present needs and there is serious talk

for building up the church to its present high stand

in business clothes and met people the street in
way that made them like him and love him. The
whole city suffered when Taubman was called to the
