I1cA4O Dill anu LcI cI DUCK
were the slogans of the Elks who met
in National Convention at Portland,
Oregon, June 9th to 18th. Ordinar-
lily we wouldn't touch upon the sub
ject Of the National Elk meeting, as
the 'doings' we're properly chronicled
throughout the country by the daily
press; but there is one phase of that
monstrous gathering of the antlered
fellows we feel called upon to dis
cuss in justice to the wearers of the
purple and white.
"Elkdom-in simon-pure essence
means goodfellowship; naturally,
when the boys meet in state or nat
ional convention, it is a signal for
the throwing aside of all Formally
and good-fel,owship reigns supreme.
Thus, the keys of the city are ever
rendered to them and it's a case Of
open house so long as the guests
remain. We have never known of an
instance where the Elks have taken
advantage of the open-hearted well
come extended to them by any city.
The Portland meet was the first nat.
ional gathering we ever attended,
and we are glad that we went and
glad of this opportunity to say a word
in defense of Elkdom-just a bit of
personal observation which makes us
proud, indeed, of the fact that we
wear the emblem Of the B. P. o. E.
Portland, like every other city
where the Elks have gathered for an.
nual conclave, said boys, the town
is yours" T%hirty-ive thousand Elks
with their ladies flocked to the great
city 'on the Sound and from the fall
Of the gavel to the last note of the
closing ode, goodfellowship reigned
supreme. During each day, the ses-
sions of the Grand Lodge and the var
ious features of entertainment pro-
vided by the hospitable Portlanders,
we'll took up the time. But at night,
when the city was ablaze with cleo
tricity and the countless bands made
merry music, high carnival held full
sway. The immense hotels and bril-
liant cafes were jammed' with hand
somely gowned women and we'll
groomed men, whose spirits were thor
oughly in tune with the gay music.
Everywhere everybody was happy.
When the Pendleton bunch blew in
on their mustangs, with their broad
sombreros and hairy chaps, and start
ed the happy cry, Let er buck!' there
was no mistaking their goodfellow-
ship, and from that time on Hello
Bill and Let 'er Buck ran neck-and-
neck for honors in the bursts of en-
thusiastic Elkdon.
THAT the lid was of in Portland
during Elks' week there is not the
slightest doubt, and it would be folly
to say that the privileges of an open
town we're not abused, and that there
was not considerable evidence of
rowdyism and disgusting, drunken
revelry. But we go on record, now
and here, and challenge any contra
diction of the statement, that the
rowdyism and drunken %revelry DID
NOT COME FROM THE ELKs, but

with the possible exception of the
city and county tax levy for 1915. II
any advertiser doubts this statement,
he may have his money refunded if
he can discover who has it. If you
don't believe the Booster is the best

Her participation in the war on the
side Of Germany would equallze the
struggle. The question for Italy is,
Which of the combatants will give the
higher price? Italy wants Trieste and
the Trentino from Austria, and Savoy
and Nice from France. Austria is I'M
willing to part with the great port Of
Trieste and France cannot bear to
give up Savoy and Nice, which are now
French no the heart. Hence the neu-
trality of Italy.
But how long will Italy sit on the
fence? All the factors here are in
favor of the Allies: Italy hates Aus
triasand would much prefer Trieste and
The Trentino and ports in Albania to
Savoy and Nice; italy has more to
fear too from the fleets of the Allies
bombarding her coast towns than
from an invasion by Austria
But II the Germans have been able to
offer more to the Turks, why should
they not offer more to the Italians?
1t Is said even now that the money
necessary for the mobilization OF the
Italian troops has been provided by
Germany, and whether we believe II or
not 1t is at least on the cards that
Italy will ait length decide to fight
with her whilom allies. II Italy joins
forces with Germany and Austria the
struggle will at once become even and
the issue Of the war will he indefinitely
postponed.
Whatever Italy does or refrains from
doing the price Of the remaining neutra
States is going up steadily, On which
side Of the fence will Bulgaria come
down? And Rumania and Greece?

which side then will Bulgaria and Ru-
mania and Greece enter the conflict?
1t is probable, | think, that Bulgaria
will fight on the side Of Austria and
Rumania on the side Of Russia, while
Greece will oppose Turkey in order to
get part of Macedonia and the Ionian
Islands from the Triple Entente.
And when these States are drawn into
the quarrel, the value of Holland will
have increased to such an extent that
her neutrality will become almost inn
possible. Germany and Great Britain
will bid against each other for her sup
port, and no one can say how she will
decide; or rather everything will depend
on what course The war takes in 1915.
Three months ago no American would
