When Portland, Oregon, relaxes for e moment from its strenuous com- tition with. Portland, Maine, the far lestern city usually compels the at- tion of the entire United States. br at such instances great happenings e very likely to be ‘writ on the turn- g page of Time angd the nation must peds see what is to be inscribed. apsing into one of these happy at- udes not long ago the Oregon Port- nd unearthed a minister with a essage, a doctrine he flung forth om his modest pulpit in the Ore- onian steadfastness but withal a bit f philosophy that will reverberate round the world from now until the ar in Burope is over and then on lown the aisle of Time until the crack f Doom’s Day sounds over the hori- on. 1t is a delicate piece of advice ent forth to the young sgirls of the ation and of the world. flo with their selecting mates for their journeyings through these somewhat azy and misty passageways here be- ow. First of all, the pastor starts out with an admonition. “Don’t be in a hurry to get married-—know the man you marry—but; above all, marry a p,’ are his opening remarks and ,4 It has to | we hasten to ‘“second the motion.” No girl should be in a hurry to get married. Especially at this time of the year when if she waits but a few weeks longer there will. be hundreds, | yea thousands, to whom she can pro- | pose under the cloak of leap-year. | After setting up his ‘‘Stop, Look and Listen” sign on the road to matrimony the pastor, we had almost forgotten to record his name—Dr. W. B. Hinson— delves into the really interesting part of his discourse and sets forth the kind of a man a woman should marry. And when all the frills and furbelows have been taken off the poor unsuspecting man, here is what is presented: He - must be worth while morally. If cor- nered he would not lie, or bite, or bait or bribe. He should not have a brow on which nature had written “Nobody Home,” or “Rooms to Let.” He should be spiritually, physically, and intellectually a man. And fur- ther, he should not be a tailor’s model nor wear a tle loud enough to rival a circus band. Whether he be a tall man, a short man, or whether his physical adornments and attractions run to the lean and lank or to the stout and stubby the pastor does not say. All he wants him to be is a man, a real live honest-to-goodness man. Harking back to the days when the husband of Xantippe, poor old Socra- | tes, poured out philosophy the while he | evaded copious quantities of dishwater hurled by the shrew, the FPortland, | Oregon, paragon of pastorship brings from the dust of oblivion the ancient proverb, “Marry in haste, repent at leisure.” Pointing out the necessity of care in selecting a mate he warns that ‘“you have to walk a long road together when you’'re married,” a long, long journey that has no ending but death. And there are many sad miles on this long road. “Happily married as you may be, some days will be/dark and dreary. There will be sickness, sorrow, disappointment, cross pur- poses along that road, and for those sad miles a woman needs a man walk- ing along beside her,—not the carica- ture of a man.” Bringing the pastor’s remarks out of the somber solemnity of clerical garb and dressing them in the carefree clothing of the motley merrymakers should say that whatever brass bands play on that | long, long road which he describes know but one and only one tune: “It’s | a Long, Long Way to Trip With | we Harry.” THE CONGRESS OF THE NATION. Because the present session of Con- gress will be the melting pot from which must come the vital issues for the next presidential campaign, there is more interest being evinced in its workings than has been attendant upon the national legislators and con- gressional proceedings for some years. The contests that will be staged in the | two houses of Congress during the stormy days ahead will make history. | The Federal Administration will ever | have its policies buffeted and about the arena by partisan foes look- ing for political advantage. Thi Congress will produce big men if 1 men are ever to be produced in this country. There never was a more fit- ting time, a more auspicious occasion. The entire nation is on edge and men who have previously paid no attention | to national politics are watching the every move of their representatives at Washington, the men in the Senate and the House. This is true in every village, hamlet and city in the coun- try. And, as if to add more zest to the political battle, the electors of the Union were fortunate enough at the | last polls to so distribute the honors among the two great parties that a close contest must inevitably place over all big questions It is in the House of Representatives that this condition is so manifest. There are in that body 229 Democrats, 197 Re- publicans, six Progressives, one Inde- pendent, and one Socialist. There is one vacancy, caused by death. kicked take From | that political line-up it is seen that the Democrats have but thirty-three plurality over the straight Republi- | Anytime these latter gentle- | men wish to join with their Pro- gressive friends, and others, or vice versa, in battle array against the Jef- fersonian tribe, the plurality of the democrats will be immediately hewed down to a scant twenty-five. Granted there may be at times dissention in the ranks of Democracy and a few sheep go over to the Republican side, there will be a dead-lock at will. The work of the Democratic leaders is all cut and dried. mittees will have a good winter's work ahead of them, for any measures they present to the House must be very | carefully edited, pruned, cut down, dressed up, made presentable in the very best fashion. There can be no rough-riding in this session of the sixty-fourth Congress. And, it is a good thing for the country at large | that this is so. For this above all times is when the nation must have its interests looked after. With an almost perfect balancing of political power such as holds forth in the lower chamber of the national Congress cans. | The chairmen of com- | Henry when he gets bac | hamton | le | cossities OF THE OSCAR 2.

Believing their long years ~f wedlock have qualified them as ex- perts on the subject, they have drawn ur the following recipe for marital happiness—and the Chicago “Tribune’ prints it: “1. Love each other all the time. Iicep silent when she wants to argue. 5. Keep silent when he wants to argue. 4. Use good common sense in times of depression. 5. Don't blame your husband when he’s doing his best. 6. Don't scold. 7: Have a few children playing around the house.” This married couple have lived up to the seventh of their command- ments, and now that their own young- sters have grown up they have seven grandchildren and four great-grand- children. And we notice this detail of the recipe: these rules are applied to both parties, not just to one of (hem.

But out in Ohio they breed with a genius for invention, and Hudson, Ohio, has produced a man who has applied his mind to the o) ster opening problem. This is the result. He began with a well known adage, “Music hath charms to sooth the savage breast”” Having tried to open his Blue Points (or perhaps they were local “Ovster Points”) he dis- covered that unless one has had some practice he is likely to bang a thumb or amputate a finger in the process. Belleving that in its native haunts the Oyster was a savage and taking it for granted that therefore it must have a breast, he decided that by putting two and two together he ought to try music on the sulky ani- mals. So he set a pan of oysters in front of his $15 phonograph and let loose a rare collection of ragtime. Low and behold, his ingenuity was re- warded. The bivalves immediately opened their shells and submitted kindly to removal to less exclusive apartments. This information he has not sought to turn into cash so the men does not object to havine it passed about by the press.
