Much of Wednesday was given over
to sightseeing trips up the Columbia
river and salmon lunch was served
at Bonneville. In the evening the
Dramatic Order of Khorrassan held
their parade and other eeremonfals
which proved to be the big hit of
the entire gathering and was even
termed it's chief feature.
Election of officers and selection
of the next meeting place were the
features of the Thursday sessions.
A pleasant diversion took place at
a meeting Thursday evening of the
Modern Order of Phoenix. The lodge
members. having ascertained that
Leader Charles Hustace, Jr., was
about to become a benedict, in APP
preciation of his services in the lead
ing chair of the lodge for the past
two years and also as a token of per-
sonal friendship, presented him with
a silver tea set, at the same time
coupling the gift with their best
wishes for the future happiness of
Mr.. and Mrs" Charles Hustace, Jr.
Although, taken completely by sur

A remarkable tribute to the quality of Crisco
was received from the chef of one of the fore
most hotels in the United States.
For some time he had been buying Crisco in
moderate quantities. When without warning
his orders were more than doubled a Crisco
representative called to see what had happened.
It was found that while formerly the chef had
been using, Crisco only for pastry and other
fat Obtained from his meats, he had decided after
experimenting with Crisco TO sell the meat fats

THE DUTY TO BELGIUM

A recent critic Of the Belgian re-
lief movement observed that the con-
querors Of Belgium were morally
bound to succor its people; If they
would not do it, the allies Of Belgium
would; in any case it was not the af-
fair of the worlds charity to do it.
1t is a strange view. The truth is,
Of course, that the Germans ought to
care for the Belgians; but the truth
also is that they have not done and
will not do it; they have taken from
the Belgians even the little they could
raise, for the larger part, and left
them to the mercy Of the outside
world. The allies are willing enough !;
indeed, the people of England and
the colonies have done SO much more
for Belgium, in proportion to num-
bers, than have the people of the
United States, that the contrast is
calculated rather to shame this
great, rich, peace enjoying country.
But they cannot do it all; they would
not be allowed to dc it all if they
could; for if they were attempting to
do it all, there would be every rea-
son to presume that yet a larger
share of their charity would be APP
propriated by the Germans.
If there is any one problem con-
nected with this wars fearful re-
suits, on which it would seem that all
humanity ought to be able to agree,
it is that the Belgians need aid from
whoever is able to give, and ought
to have it. To stop for a week doing
everything possible for them, would
be TO let hundreds of them die OF
starvation while the question of re-
sponsibility for their condition was
being ACCIDENTALLY debated. 1t is
about the coldest-blooded proposal
that could we'll be imagined.

GETTING NEAR THE FINISH

The opening Of the Chicago con-
vention is only two weeks ahead; yet
there has been no time when uncer-
tainty about its proceedings was
more profound than>now.
Every day makes the situation re-
semble more closely that Of 1888,
when the national convention bal
loted long time and at last pro-
duced a winner as leader Of its
ticket, in Benjamin Harrison. That
convention managed to keep its bal
loting going on until the counsels Of
all elements had been taken,
weighed, and digested; then it did
the thing that the party situation
dictated as desirable.
Whether the forthcoming conven-
ton will be able to hold off nomi-
nation until there snail have been
equally complete canvass Of the
whole situation, can only be conjec-
tured. Mr.. Justice Hughes by
carrying Oregon unquestionably
strengthened himself; perhaps he
has brought himself into the dan
gerous posture of leading candidate
against whom all the others will feel
compelled to unite in order to pre-
vent his success on en- early vote.
The situation is complicated by the
fact that there are two possible
nominees who may require to be
watched closely by their opponents,
in Hughes and Roosevelt. 1t is an
unparalleled and unprecedented sit
uation that the convention faces q
fortnight from its formal opening.
Meanwhile, what has become OF
the assurance, repeatedly given, that
Congress would finish it's work and
get out Of Washington before the
conventions? .

DOING THE DISTRICT HARM

In the Republican primary to
choose delegates from the District to
the national convention. one ticket
received, according to the returning
board, 5,614 votes. the second
strongest polled 1903. Yet the cleo
tion board has accredited the candi-
dates who received the smaller vote,
on the ground that wholesale frauds
tainted the rights Of those who on
the face Of the returns were over
whelmingly chosen.
Without presuming to Judge the
merits, which will be studied and de-
cided at Chicago, it is to be said that
this sort of thing hurts the District
very much. 1t gives Congress and
the country a notion that utter ire
sponsibility is the rule as to all po-
litical affairs here.
OF course, such things would not
happen under a system that gave the
people real and full political rights,
properly guaranteed and guarded
But the chance of gaining such
rights is injured. by demonstration of
such scandalous levity as marks
about every effort at primary here

THE SENATE AND MR.. RUBLRE

There are two nominations pend
ing before the. Senate, which bring
out sharply the folly Of the whole
Senatorial attitude toward the con-
firmation Of Presidential appoint
ments. One is that Of Mr.. Brandeis
to be a justice Of the Supreme Court;
the other is that Of Mr.. Rublee to
the Federal Trade Commission.
In the case Of Mr.. Brandeis,
charges have been made, dealing en-.
tirely with the fitness of the nomi-
nee. There is especia, and very par
ticular reason why the Senate should
investigate and inform itself about
them. The Constitution requires II
to do SO; for it states that "the Pres
ident shall nominate. and by and
with the advice and consent of the
Senate shall appoint = y" The
Senate cannot give advice without
knowing what it is advising about.
But in the case Of Mr.. Rublee an
entirely different situation is pre-
scented. There is no charge Of his
unfitness for the position. There is
no general or considerable opposition
to him on any public ground. He is
really opposed by just one Senator,
Mr.. Gallinger, on purely personal
grounds: he is personally objection
able" to the Senator from New
Hampshire.
Thus, If Mr.. Rublee shall finally be
rejected, it will be for want Of the
consent of single Senator. 1t will
be setting UP the wish or the preju-
dice of one Senator as superior to
the conviction Of the Senatorial ma
jority and Of the President. w.
It would be, particularly, the
height Of folly IL Mr.. Brandeis
should be confirmed and. Mr.. Rublee
rejected. 1t would be rejecting a
man against whom one Senator
urges a personal objection, and ac-
cepting a man against whom half
the Senate entertains sincere and
strong convictions. 1t would make
the Senate the laughingstock of the
country; for it would demonstrate
that the merely personal considera-
ton is paramount to everything else.
The charge has been made in the
past that the Senate was a "rich
mems club" It has redeemed itself
in recent years from the charge Of
being a erich mems club" but II it
shall allow one Senator's blackball
to kill q deserving and perfectly
proper candidacy for national Of
fee, then indeed will it have proved
that it still adheres to the strictest
of club rules and subordinates public
interest to personal prejudice.
