speech boforo 7000 porsons gathered
to hear him In tho Greek theater on
tho university grounds today, Presi
dent Taft dwelt particularly upon the
relations of tho United States and
tho Philippines, and expressed tho
opinion that popular government la
tho host form of government possl
bio, for tho reason that tho wholo
pcoplo know bettor what la best for
tholr Interests than tho comblnod
tow.
"Tho modern trond of everything
is toward specialization. Tho fiusl
nose of running a government is easy
to ono who Is not doing it. Thero
nro difficulties and frictions that aro
not Been by tho general public. These
obstacles, difficulties and frictions
aro not appreciated by the critics.
Tho criticism directed at government
officials, howevor, do much to lift
tho government and the peoplo to n
hlghor nnd moro enlightened plnno."
In referring to his government of
tho Philippines tho President Raid::
"Ono thing which is an outgrowth
of tho policies is tho Justice which
wo have nt last granted tho Philip
pines, by giving them free trade with
America."
In concluding Taft said:
"When r left tho Golden Gate for
my post In tho Islands I llttlo know
that I was on my way to tho presi
dency of this country. A person
would never ballove that the road to
tho presidential chair stretched out
10,000 mil o to tho tropics, but that
Is whore it landed me.
Tho "residential party arrived at
the Southern Pacific station at Rerko
ley promptly nt S a'clock. As Tnt

by tho rheors of 20,000 citizens wait
ing there to gt a first view of him.
"With his hat in his hand, the chief

member of tho first Philippine com
mission, lauded the President, and
spoke highly of Taft's work whllo In
the islands. Professor Moses was
followed by Mayor Beverly Hodg

With the famouB Taft smllo light
ing his face, tho President rose. Sim
ultaneously every person In tho audi
ence Jurajed to their feet and shout
ed -ntlniBlastlcally, whllo the Fili
pino constabulary band played "Van
kee Doodle."
The President spoke for nearly a
quarter of an hour. His speech was
full of pralre for California, which
he t'eolared to be one of tho "garden
Fpo'B. of th,e world," and many times
ho "as compelled to pause while the
peoilo manifested their appreciation
of his remarks.
At the conclusion of his address
Taft was hurried to his machino and
the party whirled away to the athlete

PRESIDENT
MET BILL
GRIMES
Tho Hon. Bill Grimes, of Coos Bay,
got tho most cyclonic greeting of any
ot tho callers. When he was present
ed at tho Portland hotel, by Dr. Rich
ardson, who married an Oklahoma
girl, tho President's fnco lighted up
with ono of his thousand-cnndle
power smiles, and ho grasped Grimes'
hand, anil said: "Hello, Grimes'
Hero's tho man who carried the first
district convention in the United
States tliat Instructed tor me. Tho
fourth district of Oklahoma." After
qulto a talk Grimes mentioned that
ho had a frlond in Oklahoma that
nooded a llttlo looking after. Said
Taft:
"Call my attention to him when I
got back, and I will try to do any
th'ng that you wnnt done for him."
Aftor Grimes loft tho group, tho
President turnod to them and said:
"Thoro's tho kind of man I like. He
comes out and says he's for you, and
delivers tho goods."
A Portland paper has the follow
ing about tho receptien:
Among those who called on Pres
ident Taft yesterday, and who found
a roody recognition from tho Presi
dent, was Colonol William Grimes,
of Coos Bay, the man, who, as chair
man ot tho Republican central com
mittee of Oklahoma, carried that
state for Taft at tho last presidential
election. Colonel Grimes arrived on
he Alliance yesterday mvrnlng from
Coos Bay, and, though delayed thr'-c
days by a mishap to tho steamer, ar
rived in time to meet tho Presldont.
At tho Oklahoma convention Colo
nel Grimes d literally turne
the tide started by tho Roosevelt cow
loy delegation for Roosevelt and
saved tho day for Taft. Ho could
have had tho governorship or prac
tically any other offlco in tho state,
but declined them all and returned
to Oregon. Colonel Grlmos had been
secretary f state for Oklahoma for
two terms, and was prominent In
Southwestern politics.
Dr. Richardson, Taft's personal
physician, who traveled with him,
married a daughter of Congressman
Dennis Flynn, of Oklahoma. Colonel
Grimes managed Flynn's campaigns
for several years. He and Colonel
Grimes aro close friends.
F. G. Fritz, Onconta, X. Y., writes:
"My little girl was greatly benefitted
by taking Foley's Orlno Laxative and
I think it Is the best remedy for con
stipation and liver trouble." Foley's
Orlno Laxative is mild, pleasant and

"Whnt do you think Colonol

BIRD DOGS
WILL HAVE
THEIR DAY
Beginning tomorrow, tho full

northeast of this cltV for places In
tho second nnnual flold try-out ot tho
Oregon Flold Trial club nnd dog train
ers and ow'nors throughout tho state
will bo In attoudanco.
E. S. Mungor tho woll known
trainer, is hero with a fow dogs to
enter tho contest. Among Mr. Mumj
er's collection Is "Rex." Rex is tho
proporty ot Homer Smith, a Saloni
man, and Is a beautiful spcclmont ot
tho bird dog family.
Tho present moot will bo tho first
over held In this city. Tomorrow
morning tho dogs will be Btnrtcd op
poslto tho fair grounds and will
work off toward tho northeast, and
sper: Is anticipated by tho Satom
Bporttirnf-n. Dog owners from Wash
ington, Orognn and California will bo
horo t wltnoss tho field trial meet.
A flold trial Is a raco fcotwoon bird
dags, so called, and the dog thnt
wins must have brains, as woll hcols.
He miust. display his knowledge, ot
how to hunt, must show tho Judgoe
that ho knows where to look tor
'jlrds, and can handle them nf v
Pndlng them? An I ho mutt, 't pos
sible, lid moro bt'tU than his rival,
Speed and stamina aro necessary,
but a brain and a good noso are
equally Important. A dog that Is
simply a fast, wide ranger, with plen
ty of clash and, but of llttlo "bird
senro," has llttlo chanco of winning,
popular opinion to tho oontrnry not
withstanding. And hero Is whoro tho
tost of the dog ownora thomselvos
comes In. Tho puppy may soem to
huvo hunted admirably at home, and
ho may havo handled tho first trial
In winning form, but when tho keen
eyed Judgos, who nro tlmo-experl-onccd
bird hunters, and know bird
dogs thoroughly, tako In tho pros
pective hunting qualities of tho pup,
thero may bo "nothing doing," and
tho many months ot trnlnlng must
bo repeated again, with still moro pa
tience. Flold trials nro generally followed
on horseback- Tho dogs to start In
the raco tomorrow will bo picked this
ovenlng, when tho entry list Is closed
and tomorrow they will bo run In

let run until tholr hunt is flulshod.
and. then they will be brought bnck
