court here this morning by the
board of examiners of the state
bar association recommends the
admission of Lee Roy e. Keeley to
the practice of law in Oregon.
Kelley has been negotiating
for admission to the Oregon bar

to the United States supreme
court in a suit against the mem
bers Of the supreme court to COM
pei their recognition Of his right
to practice law in this state. This
case was decided by the court
adversely to Kelley only two
weeks ago.

his past experiences upon which
he was debarred from practice in
this state and asked for recon-
sideration of his case. The COM
mittee which today recommends
his admission to the bar consists
of Oscar Hayter, Roscoe Nelson,
George A. Pipes and Thomas S.

Peking, Jan. 30.-(By Associat-

the British and American dele
gates, should be accepted.
While it was felt to be import
ant that the problem of the Port

justed, 1t was realized that this
could not be done without set
tlement of the Shantung railway
question, and that therefore it
was unwise to refuse the proffer-

at which they were 70 return to

Mr.. Roberts delivered what was
generally characterized as the
most impressive address ever
heard at the local club.
Always, as soon as a man be-
comes, in a measure, successful,
the city beckons him." Mr.. Rob-
erts said. THAT will never do.
gentlemen Our big men must stay
In the country. We cannot mass
together or, without question, the
death blow to our country, our civ
1lization, will be struck. It has
been so in the past and it will be
SO in the future.
What are the conditions SIR
rounding our boys aC the present
time? Let me tell you. We are
giving more attention to our stock
than we are to our children. Right
now, if there is something wrong
with your stock you can send to
Washington and get a man to in
Vestigate and to give you advice
But you can't get one to look at
your boys-the greatest asset
you've got"
The consequences Of peace form
ed the subject to which Mr.. Rob-
erts gave several minutes of his
time. Sherman's utterances, hay-
ing TO do with the hellishness of
conflict was reiterated by the Y.
M. c. A. man who declared that
the great general was speaking of
reconstruction as well as of battle
when he made his observation.
Country youths were contrast
ed with city boys by Mr.. Roberts
who, at the present time, Is en-
deavoring to secure country work
ers for the Y. M. c. A. when you
speak to a group Of boys in a large
city, they give you their respect
full attention but they are listless
they are old young men," Mr..
Roberts said. why? Because
their lives are made up of a series
of soul stirring events-for them
there is nothing new; they are
sophisticated-ultra sophisticated
already they have found out
most of the surprises life has to
offer.
Recently I talked in a small
community in Oregon. There were
many country boys there-large,
husky youths who had come for
considerable distances in order to
be present. Perhaps they were
bit awkward, possibly they were
MT so well groomed as the city
boys-but in them, gentlemen,
was something on which to build.
1t is on such men as they will
make that our country must de-
pend in the future"
Efforts are being made, wher-
ever possible, to secure country
Y. NJ. c. A. workers who are
trained athletes and who may as
sist the boys Of rural districts to
play the games which city youths
learn, Mr.. Roberts said. It will be
the duty Of secretaries to be 'in
the know wherein the boys are
concerned, to assist them with
their personal problems during
the period Of adolescence, and to
encourage them to secure as much
education as is possible.
Tonight Mr.. Roberts will speak
in Silverton.
