Way Made for Harmony. In a word. President Taft ha ceased to be the "titular head" of the Repub lican party and today Is manifesting his purpose to be the actual leader, lie will remain, of course, aa he ha been. President of the whole people; b-it this duty doe not conflict who the responsibility which rests upon him of bringing order out of the chaos In the ranks or hts own party. He pared the way for harmony last Sum mer In hi appeal for t.ie election ui nroa-resslres aa well aa or sianu- patters." and In his announcement that In tue matter of patronage both wines of the party would be treated exactly 'Ike. He has let it be known he would be content with the selection or senator Cummin, of Iowa, se leader of the Hnate in place of Senator Aldrlch. of Rhode Inland. He Is not wedded to Kiank Hitchcock. Postmaater-l.encral. as chairman of the National Republi can committee. Indeed Hitchcock an nounced Ions; asro that he had re- Unril. but he seems still to oe in con trol of the committee. Hot h Factions to Confer. The President desires "progressives" as well as "standpatters to can ii iw White House and confer with him about matters of aeneral legislation, and be fore the session Is over there will bo a genera.) conference at the hlte House In which representatives of the two fac tions will participate. Whether one Is lor or asainsi air. Taft. he must give him credit for a tenia! and magnetic personality and for sincerity of purpose. It may be ex pected, therefore, that the contact he will have with his fellow Republicans will b productive of party benefit. Hut It Is not the Intention of the i-resNiem to etoo there. He proposes to lay down a sound platform of Republican conduct, upon which all Republicans can stand. It will be a clutrorm which, in -Mr. Taft'a Judgment and In that of his ad- -xlsers. will be approved bv the people generally: and In tiow of the defeat the Republicans sustained In recent elections and the Icsxons thereby taught. It Is be lieved practically all of those who may lte opposed to the President and his ideas will be In a frame of mlnrt to make con cessions and sink their differences upon matters of major moment. Mo.uico Work of .Month.. The platform the president favors will re described In the anniuil message he s now preparing. Although he has com pleted only a portion of that document and will not sopend his slgnaturo to the final pace before the lapse of some das. the work of preparation has been one of mnnv months. Tlie prominence the tariff issue as sumed In the recent campaign would seem to Justify the President In devoting a great part of his mess.iKe to m discus sion of his purposes with respect to a further revision. He Is being urged to rive the Republicans another churue ti amend the law. eotne of his advisers want him to recommend the creation ef a permanent tariff commission in stead of the temiorary t.tr;it ooara which he himself created under authority contained In the Aldrlch law. TAKT The tariff will be dealt ith by Mr. Taft In his message, but he still not recommend any present modifications. or wilt he advle transformation of tT.e tariff board Into a commission. In the first place, lie is satisfied the board as It at pre-vnt etuis Is capable of per forming to the fu'l the important duties Intrusted to It. He has not got to the point a here be favors a commission which suail make a tariff law. He reojiies. moreover, that to recommend anything of the kind would be to throw another bomb Into the disrupted ranks of his party. Hoard to Contlnuo Work. It Is his desire that the tariff board shall continue Its work of Investigation. When Its conclusions have been reached, he expects tlicni to be the result of ex haustive labor and careful Judgment, and to be such that If adopted they will work for the benefit of both capital and labor and the prosreriry of the country s a whole. He will transmit these con clusion to the next I'oRgrcss. The President M not recommend the enactment of the bill he favors for the Federal Incorporation of business enter prises doing an interstate business until sfter tie Supreme Court has given Its decisions In the Standard Oil and to bacco trust caaes. That he adheres to the general principle of this reform Is not to be doubted. On the part of some of tae Insurgent there wa opposition to a few of to feature of the bill draft ed by the Attorney-General relating to this sub'ect. but the President believe these objection have been met and that the latest draft of the measure will meet alih general support.

One of the Highest European Authorities on Eyes Highly Indorses Thompson s Method of Sight Testing "The new ideas of yesterday built the great business of today. The new ideas of today are build ing the great businesses of tomor row. The only businesses the only men who rise above the dull level of mediocrity are those who originate, who use the origi nations of others, who are seeking and applying new plans, new methods for doing greater and better work. Men who succeed do more than detail work they create ideas that give them more power. "No great invention, no great organization, no great work of art or of industry, was ever achieved without the courage and the strength to leave the beaten track. "Anyone can follow the old pre cedence in the old way. Anyone can jog along in smug and com placent self-sufficiency. Anyone can roll along in a rut. The men who have the courage to jolt out of the humdrum of routine, rise from the commonplace to con spicuity and are leading the way to change and progress. "Every new machine, every new process, every new plan or scheme or system or principle, is a tool in the hands of the man who can use it. Every original thought or device is material for the business building of tomorrow. "Mechanical equipment is a matter of purchase. Professional equipment is the result of study, acquaintance of conditions, appre ciation of what you need when you need it. While I admire mod esty, I feel it is my right to tell you that thousands of satisfied patients back up my guarantee of satisfaction. I have the profes sional equipment, as well as the mechanical." 1.7 " - V t' y'':iii-'y JB i: y:-:: I ;::;: -i-ja ai.s:" j I I 1 Year in Portland and the Largeat Practice in the Pacific Northwetl MR.

Bruxelles, Le 7 November, 1910 Direction 1 Rue de L'Eveciue 19 Bruxelles PROF. A. RICHARD Mr. R. A. Thompson, Portletnd, Oregon, U. S. A. Dear Sir: I have been practicing as an eye spe cialist for many years, have kept well posted on new methods, etc., but never have I seen anything to equal the instantaneous method perfected by you while in Berlin. Having seen this system demonstrated upon several of the worst cases of eye strain in my practice, I am convinced that this is the simplest, easiest and most accurate method of eye-testing discovered. With this new method you are master of the situation. It is not only new, but a century ahead of the profession. I wish you would mail me a copy of your lecture on "Eye and Nerve Measurement, and I will remit on receipt of same. Yours truly, PROF. A. RICHARD, By Commendation from such a distinguished specialist is most gratifying, particularly so because it comes unsolicited "Much of the- success of the present and future generations depends on the eyes. Artificial conditions have swept in where natural conditions once held sway. Narrow streets and tall buildings have taken away the broad thor oughfares, the shaded lanes, the long, uninterrupted ranges of vi sion. The majority of office workers no longer work by open windows; they labor under the glare of the electric light, filled with rays that beat a tattoo of destruction on the sensitive eyes. The eyes of the world look into a certain amount of danger. The means of protection are in my hands. Is it wrong for me to tell the people that I know how to apply them; that I expect a fair return for the services I can give them that they cannot give them selves? "In other words, is it wrong for me to advertise? I should say it is wrong for me not to adver tise. If I did not advertise I could not hope to get my share of busi ness and enjoy the privilege of exercising my knowledge and skill. I would be a failure. "In America it is a crime to be a failure. "To those critics who will say that it is not dignified to adver tise and that one should wait un til business comes to him, I will quote a few words of wisdom told me by William Jennings Bryan, who is the second best advertised man in the United States. He said: 'The man who tries to at tract business without advertising is like the young fellow who throws his sweetheart a kiss in the dark. He knows what he is doing but no one else will.' "When I was preparing this ad. I had a feeling that there would be at least one person who would say that he never patronized an optician that advertised. IH ad mit that person doesn't, but there are thousands who do, and it's the thousands that count and not the one.
