The services of the men who hav'
been brought here as speakers befor'
the Mens'sClub of the Congregations
church are not for sale. They are no
professional lecturers. They came II
response to invitations that were based
upon the clubs objectives, as ex
pressed in the bylaws, I'VE aim tc
stimulate intellectual and moral activ'
ities."
The list of such. the result of this
clubs work, is an imposing one. This
year the members, and others who
were invited to the meetings, heard D.
Soils Cohen, Wallace McCataant, DIR.
Penrose, Judge j. P. Cavanaugh. Dan
J. Malarkey and Judge Stephen b.
Lowell. The thought they represented
is as varied as the sections from
whence they came.
Last year the club heard B. F. Ir-
vine, editor of the Oregon Journal, and
Rabbi Jonah B. Wise.
If the Dalles had offered money for
these men there would have been no
response. They are high in their re-
spective professions, and unlike Will
lam Jennings Bryan, whom Edgar b.
Piper felicitated last night. they have
no time to go on the platform to in
crease their emoluments.
The Mems Club is, and at the same
time is not, a seetarian organization.
1t is sponsored by the Congregational
church, and usually meets at the
church, but its membership is unIimit-
ed to that faith. A broad policy. the
broadest possible, in throwing open
has been adopted, and this
has been wise for there are men who |
would not participate were the activi- |
ties solely of seetarian character.
The breadth of this functioning is in |
iicated in the divergent beliefs of !
those men who have spoken before the |
club. ID. Soils Cohen and Rabbi Wise ,
are Jews. Judge Cavanaugh and Dan
are Catholics. OF one other |
man who addressed the club recently, |
although he does not publicly profess |
It. it is known to his friends that he is |
a man of no faith; an atheist in fact.
These things do not hurt the church.
They strengthen it for the church is
thereby publicly stamped as a tolerant
and there is a greater
Gaming toward tolerancy today than
aver before.
At the banquet last night, MIR. Piper,
speaking along political lines and ad.
hitting the standing Of the Democratic !
party said:
1--WE need both sides. No one wants
all to think the same way. We criti-
;ize the means. but the general ends
sought are the same"
This preachment of tolerancy for
parties applies precisely to
he churches. The Dalles Chronicle.
The keeping of hotels has long since
graduated from the category of casual
md leisurely occupations into the rari-
led atmosphere of big business.
A modern hotel is an impressive and
institution, offering more
lnds of service than the inn-keeper
4 an earlier day would ever have
reamed of. Where once it was enough
or the owner of a hotel to meet guests
n an affable manner and to 'set a
ood table, " today he has to be an ex-
cutive, an organizer, an originator.
Great corporations own chains of ,
otels and make it difficult for eompet-
tors to keep up with them in multiply {
~ the refinements of luxury. /
1t is, therefore, not easy for the {
Oom clerk or the head waiter to step !
irectly into ownership. The neces- Z
ary knowledge is too elaborate to be
aimed without special training. Plans.
was announced recently, have been
lade for making a four-year college
)urse in hotel management available 2

Ig into his position, the new hotel :
an will be the product of university 8
aiming" the official of hotel mems u
Isociation said the other day.
This is part of general tendency on Il
e part Of great business organiza- g
Ons to concede that only the univers- '
y-trained man can hold up his end in
II modern economic organization.

Practical experience is still far from Al
