THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, MARCH 19, igiP, TAFT APPEALS FOR PARTY DISCIPLINE CAMERA AT A. Y. P. IS REPUTED TO HAVE SNAPPED TAFT AS HE ADMIRED PRIZEWINNER OF CATTLE EXHIBIT. 4 Hope Expressed That Mem bers Will Have Sense to "Keep Platform Pledges. PEOPLE WILL SEE IN END ? .. ....omwMmAK It I f s-z&zs In Roelwister Speech President Tells VThy Friends Have Called Him Bad Politician legislative Plan Ib Outlined. 'ROCHESTER. N. V., March 18. Presi dent Taft tonight. In an address efor the Rochester Chamber of Commerce, again appealed to members of Congress to sacrifice their individual opinions that the platform promises of the Republican party might be fulfilled and hoped the party -trould show that It has "the sense and the discipline to meet its responsi bilities." The Impression had got abroad that th President might have something to. say tonight on the acute situation In the .House of Representatives at Washington but this was-his nearest reference to the ' subject. Party Pledges First. At one point of his speech, which was devoted entirely to the, legislation he had recommended In the last few months, the President further declared: "If this Congress Is to be treated as a Republican Congress, these things ought to pass in fulfillment of party pledges. After this is done, it does not matter what happens at the next elec tion. We will have done something; the country will be grateful, whether it thinks It ought to express this grati tude in the immediate future or not."' Mr. Taft was Interrupted constantly by applause, and when, toward the end of his remarks he declared with gre.'.t emphasis that he had tried as Presi dent to do what he thought was right, rather than those things that would bring political strength, the audience of nearly a thousand business men stood up and cheered for several min utes. Right Is Best Politics. The President spoke with great earnestness throughout. He declared that he had been told he was no poli tician and dire things had been pre dicted. He believed, however, that in the end the people would find the mees urs recommended to Congress were right and that right, after all, was the very best of politics. Mr. Taft's greeting tonight was the most demonstrative he has had In his recent travels. He was followed as a speaker at the banquet by W. C Brown, president of the New York Cen tral Railroad, who paid a glowing tribute to Mr. Taft and told of the progress and stability that had come to the business world since his inau guration. President Taft summed up the things he declared had caused some of his advisers to characterize him as a bad politician. Tariff. Always Party Danger. First, he said, there was the tariff law, and a new tariff, bill always de feats a party. ' Second had come the corporation tax, bringing with it the enmity of every body directly or indirectly Interested in the more than 400.000' corporations affected. Third, there was the "alleged" postal deficit that had been charged to the carrying of magazines and periodicals at 1 cent a pound. That was "bad politics because It arrayed all the mag azines and periodicals against the Ad ministration." Fourth Congress reduced the duty on print paper 30 per cent, instead of putting It on the free list. This offended the newspapers. And last of all, the postal savings' bank bill had turned all the bankers against the Administration. Friends Too Timid. "So," he continued, "my friends don"t see just where we are coming out. But I am confident in the end the measures will approve themselves. The troubles we most fear are those that never come. The measures promised ought to be adopted, not because they will give us political strength, but because they are right. And if they are right, the people will find them to be right and that it is cthe best politics in the end." The President referred to the measures he hoped Congress would adopt at this cession In the following order: The bill amending the interstate com merce law. The bill for postal savings banks. The anti-injunction bill. The statehood bill. The conservation bills. Difficulties Are Told. After he had explained briefly the pro visions of these measures, the President continued: "One great difficulty about being Pres ident, and I assure you there are a great many of them, is. he is the titular head of the party and Is made responsible for the laws adopted by the party, al though he has had nothing more to do with them than a recommendation at the beginning and the power to veto at the end. He is held responsible for the promises made by the party. "And if, in' his enthusiasm and desire to fulfill the party pledges and to help the country, as he thinks he goes about and consults all the interests so as to recom mend a fair law. and makes suggestions to Congress and some Congressmen differ with him, he Is held up as a tyrant try ing to force his views down the throats of unwilling Congressmen and unwilling Senators. Parties Are Essential. "And sq he is in a bad fix. On the one hand It Is said of him he Is not doing what he ought to do and on the other hand he is trying to frighten an unwilling Congress to do what it does not want to do. "But this is a government . of party. If it were not a government of party, we might as well go out of the govern ment business, for we will never get lliead without parties. How are you going to give expression to the varying views of ninety millions of people and put them into the form of legislation to be Agreed upon by a majority ot your Rep- 'At V v,, 1 i .fl''' w' , - i , - riCTURK S1ID T( BE UTHKM1C, SHOWS THK PRKSIUENT, DR.

"Team Work" Called For. "Therefore, we have to have what is known on the football field as teamwork. And the. party has to get together the extremes on one side and the extremes on the other and both must sacrifice something of their individual views and get the thing through and that is what 1 am hopeful our Congress will do. "That they may differ on details of the various bills is to be expected. But if they are really in favor all of them of enacting useful legislation, then they must be willing to sacrifice some of their views that there shall be a compromise measure of real improvement and a real step forward to show the people the party which has assumed responsibility has the sense and the discipline to meet It by subordination of smaller views to the great question of human progress. Tariff Vindicates Itself. "It Is now more than a year since the present Administration began. We had promised to revise the tariff and we did so. The operation of that law during the seven months it has been in exist ence is vindicating the pledge we made for it. A comparison with the preceding law shows the new law to be a good revenue producer, shows a reduced per centage in rates of duty and an In creased percentage of articles on the free' list. Business has increase and prosperity is here. Conditions are all that could be hoped, according to the measure of the business man. How long this condition will last, how much it will be affected by the construction to be put on the anti trust law, will not be known until we have the decision and learn what real effect the decision will have. Expenses Cut Down. "We have been trying to cut down expenses at Washington. The esti mates for the next fiscal year are $48, 000.000 less than the appropriations for the current year. In the navy we cut down $10,000,000, but saved enough to con tinue the policy of two battleships a year until the completion of the Panama Canal. That was one of the dearest poli cies of my predecessor the one he thought the most of and I would have felt the keenest regret to have depart ed from it in the- first year of my Ad ministration. "I would like now to direct your at tention to the legislation which I hope to get at this session of Congress. First and most important are the amendments to the interstate commerce act." Commerce Court Explained. The President then went into detailed explanations of the bill, which he-said he felt was not generally understood. He explained the necessity of a com merce court to hear appeals from the Interstate Commerce Commission. First of all. It would expedite action, he said. 'The one thing," said the President, "which disgraces our civilization today Is the delays of criminal and civil Justice. These delays always work in favor of the man with the longest purse. Hence they work in favor of the railroads rather than the shipper. The cvommerce court, by avoiding- convenient delays of the past, will be a long step toward that regulation of railroads which we have been looking for. "A second provision of the bill allows carriers to make traffic agreements among themselves subject to approval of the Interstate Commerce erimmisBion. My predecessor, in his every message to Congress, recommended this. The provision does not permit, pooling. It al lows that which the railroads have to do anyway, whether the law forbids it or not. I am in favor of allowing the railroad, if run rightly and Justly, to run within the law." UNCLE JOE WILL NOT QUIT (Continued From First Page.) Smith, Payne, Dalzell and other party leaders were not taken into the Speaker's cofidence when he started to announce his ruling, and that they engineered post ponement ,of the action and adjoured until tomorrow in hope of persuading the Speaker to standpat, in the belief that they could patch up a compromise with insurgents before a vote Is taken.

MIRAGES DELIGHT FAMILY Egyptian Soudan Phenomena Prove Interesting to American Trav elers on Trip From Khar toum All Are Well. WADIHALFA. Egyptian Soudan. March 18. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and his family arrived here tonight from Khartoum and boarded the steamer IbLs for Shellal. Shellal lies 150 miles down the Nile at the head of the first cataract and near the great Assuan reservoir dam. It is adjacent to Philae, where the temples of Isis and other works of interest to archaeologists are located. Today's Journey over the government railroads was a pleasant one despite the invasion of the private car by sand from the desert. All members of the party are well. Busy Day Spent In Writing. Mr. Roosavelt snent a busy day in. writing, arranging the final details of his European tour and . discussing Egyptian, and Soudanese questions with Sir Wil liam Garstin, who had much to do with the planning of the Assuan dam. Throughout the day the train traveled j the dreary desert with only occasional hills to break the monotony of the sandy . waste. Several times beautiful mirages , appedrea in iiie uiLt.iii. v,uivnn velt and the members of his family were greatly interested in these phenomena. A glorious sunset terminated the day. Middleton Bey, director of railways in the Soudan, who is traveling on the sa-me train with Mr. Roosevelt, assisted in the construction of the desert railway. He has been working in the Soudan for 13 years. Mr. Roosevelt's European itinerary has been definitely determined upon with as much exactness as it is possible to make in advance and was first an nounced today. The former President will arrive in Rome on April 3; in Paris, April 21; In Berlin, May 8, and in London on May 15 or 17. In several instances Colonel Roosevelt will arrive at one city on the same day that he leaves another, but counting each portion of the day as a whole day, it may be said that he will spend a week In Paris, a week In Berlin, four days in Rome, three day8 each In Genoa, Vienna and Budapesth; two days In Brussels, The Hague and Christlania, and a day In Rotterdam. Hamburg. Copenhagen and Stockholm. . Early April Day's Trip Outlined.

The Austrian capital will be left- two days later, and two days given over to a visit to Budapest, the Hungarian capital. On April 20, the Oriental Express will be taken for Paris. The programme provides for a, visit to Brussels on April 28, and Colo nel Roosevelt may remain over one day before proceeding for The Hague, in which case he will remain at the home of the Peace Tribunal until May 1. On the latter day, an hour's stop will be made at Rotterdam, and Hamburg will receive a flying visit on the day fol lowing. Copenhagen should be reached late In the afternoon of May 2, -the de parture for Christlania being made that night. The stay at the Norwegian capital is In doubt, but will probably be from May 3 to 5. permitting Mr. Roosevelt's arrival at Stockholm on the evening of the latter date. Colonel Roosevelt will return to Christlania in time to sail on May 8 for Germany and he is due In Berlin on the following day. The date of his departure from the German capital is in doubt, but he ex pects to leave there on May 15, arriv ing ia London, on the following; day.

But if all the world were bache lors and bachelor-maids, and lived in hotels, the advertiser's problem would be infinitely more difficult. , On many purchases for a woman's own use men have an important influ ence; but there is scarcely anything which a man uses which is not suscep tible to woman's influence. Did you ever know a man who long continued wear ing a style of collar which his wife persistently "knocked"? Did you ever know a daughter who could not "tease" the building of a new bay window ?
