MAN SAVS BEST AdDUKSS WAS NOT HEI'OHTEI). HnvihK served it the Philip pines under William Howard Taft fifteen years ago, when the ex-presldent was gi'vernnr of those islands, George Corhianc of this city had a g'reat per sonal, interest in hearing Taft's Port land address this Week and In meet ing him again as an -old friend. i Speaking to The Observer, Mr. Cochrane, who returned yesterday 'from Portland, said that the best speech the ex-president made in Port- , land was delivered at a luncheon given in honor of the parly of distinguished i visitors and was not reported in the i press. His publlij aiidrtuw was mora calculated to appeal to popular senti ment, and was a fine effort, according to Air. Cochrane, but at the luncheon ho gave a particularly practical tulk ! on the question of the league of nations. ".Mr. Taft put- the proposition of a league of nations on three or four bases," says Mr. Cochrane. "The first one, he said, was 'What were we fight ing for?', and he says, 'You say we were fighting to make the world a de cent place to live in and a place safe for democracy, and I say, how can we do so unless the world is so or ganized that every little upstart ra tion like Serbia cun not become -re sponsible for a world catastrophe? Therefore, there must be a league formed amnr.ft the nations of tl.e world, which is the Only wny through which the novver to prevent war can :be exerted.1 "Speaking of the question of 'How can tho league be mganized,' Mr. Taft declined that it must be dbnc In such that none of the notions in - I could go to war without fi.st res .ig to arbitration: and the vent not only other nations in the lei.uue, but any other nation in the world stnrting another war, even ir war itself should be required to bring the relraclory government under con ""l. ' There are two means by whico wnr can ue prevented, Mr. nut mul. Ont k hy physical and the other by ec..,K-i,..cal force.' He went on to say th.V,.the physical means had nlrv.d:.- hkii irien in tne recent war. J ne Covenant of Paris, . prosented by President Wilson, is along that line, !; ... 1 T 'L1" lh.e uriy.t'ays the Vfnt'7 "Miv-iun OtftH Witn another arptt- ment that has been launched against the , proposed league of nations, -that the league would be unconstitutional because it would restrict the liberties of nntlons. To this Mr. Taft replied limb tin liberties of nations should be restricted the same as are the acts of man, but as the-cave man Is hamd from modern society, so fliould the nation or government that adopts the principles of the cave man be denied admittance to the Society bf civilim-d nations. There In nothing in bur con stitution either for oi against the ma king of such an alliance, according to Mr. Taft, and the understanding be tween the United States and Canadf.. on the basis of which the frontier be-, twren those two countries has re-joroiudy prosecuted in the courts.

'We promulgated the Monroe doctrine and we have found that it has done a treat deal to pie vent war,' he said. 'This covenant will pot perhaps prevent, war, but k will make it a remote possibility.

However, if the delinquent takes immediate cor rective action, and it is clearly estab lished through Investigation that he did not wilfully violate the law, the bureau allows him to compromise his liability to specific penalty by tender ing a nominal sum of money.
