I There is a Real Difference" Cream of tartar, derived from grapes, is used in Royal Baking Powder because it is the best and most healthful ingredient known for the purpose. Phosphate and alum, which are de rived from mineral sources, are used in some baking powders, instead of cream of tartar, because they are cheaper." If you have been induced to use baking powders made from alum or phosphate, use Royal Baking Powder instead.

New York THE FASHIONS With the bright, crisp October days here, New York seems more alive than ever, and the fashionable thorough fares of the great city are filled with crowds in new attire which is exceedingly smart Everyone wants new clothes when autumn comes, and everyone seems to have new clothes. , so beautifnl are they in the rich, warm colors and so wonderfully soft in texture. Without being heavy or, I j r slu''''u, The long top coats and one-piece dresses which are worn under them, strike one as being of most import ance this season, though tailored suits are also well represented. The coats look so warm with their large high collars that button snugly to the neck. Many of them are made of fur or fur cloth, which may be had in such good imitations that only a very experienced eye could tell the difference. The materials for coats Jit rfx ml w this season are simply irrosistable; shown here developed in serge and trimmed with rows of braid in differ ent widths.

It is trimmed with dull gold embroid ery. The skirt is quite long and weighted with a deep band of beav er fur. A high beaver collar and cuffs of the same finish the neck and sleeves, while the front has a soft velvet vest and a touch of the same velvet appears on the loose girdle of Georgette which is arranged below the normal waistline. Another charm ing one-piece frock was of light blue chiffon velvet with skirt gathered to a long body. Narrow gold braid trimmed the body, and the skirt had two wide stripes of gold braid hang ing at either side of the hips.

Among the very newest materials are Bolivia cloth, a rich warm fabric with a sheen; and burella, a soft open weave somewhat like homespun but but very much more attractive and finer in quality. In addition to these. there are the more well known wool velours, wool plushes and wool velvets as well as many other fancy coatings. A pleasing note in the development of the new coats for fall is the use of bright-colored linings. A very hand some imported coat of navy blue serge had a bright cerise lining which showed when the fronts were rolled open. Glimpses of it also were seen in the lining of the collars and cuffs Other charming combinations that have been seen in the way of linings. are brown with light blue, and black with cerise. . Like the coat in the illustration, a great many models show the straight closing down the front with gracefully curved lines at the sides, the back and sides are belted. Some models, however, are, on the contra ry, very full at the back and have no belt at all to confine the fullness which starts at the neck and increases as the coat lengthens. Fur collars are particularly good style this fall. Hudson seal, beaver, kolisky, fitch, skunk and rabbits are the pelts most used. Very often the cuffs are of matching fur, too, but in many inst ances only the collar is of fur. Quilting a New Idea A vevv novel idea that has been brought from Paris is the quilted effect on suits; and even waists have heon made in this stvle. The quilt ing is done by machine-stitching in pretty designs rather than in straight lines, and the effect is so different from anvthinir else that it has been very much admired. Satin and silk suits are made with dep bands of multinc at the edees of both skirts and coats. Another way of using the quilting idea is in touches on col lar, pockets anil cuffs. Some quilted waists are intended for sports.

In the minds of republican poli ticians and editors there is consider able confusion with respect to mod ern American-Mexican history. Some of them seem to think that the Mex ican problem is the creation of the democratic administration, that it is a "Wilson problem." The truth is it is America's problem, and it was as much a Taf t problem as it has been a Wilson problem, and in the event of Mr. Hughes' election it would be a Hughes problem. It is very likely that as Mr. Wilson handled the prob lem much as Mr. Taft did, Mr, Hughes' method of handling it would not differ materially from that of Mr, Wilson. Let us take a glance at the record, Mr. Taft became president on March 4, 1909. Within twenty months 'after Mr. Taft's inauguration, trouble in serious form broke out in Mexico, and during the balance of his administra tion this trouble continued. On November 8, 1910, there was rioting in Mexico City. The Ameri can flag was destroyed, the windows of American residences and business houses were broken. A street car containing American school children was stoned and the son of the United States ambassador was assaulted. These disturbances continued during November 9th. On November 10th there was riot ing in Guadalajra. The American flag was burned and windows of American banks and stores were brok en. These disturbances continued two or three days. On November 10, 1910, there was rioting at various points in Mexico, American consulates were wrecked and the records of the consulates were destroyed. On November 18, 1910, the Madero revolution broke out and from that date there was general disorder in Mexico. On March 7, 1911, twenty thousand United States regulars were mobi lized along the Mexican border. On April 13, 1911, Mexican forces took Agua Prieta, opposite Douglas, Arizona. In Douglas, Arizona, three Americans were killed and five were wounded. On April 4, 1911, Mexican forces again attacked Agua Prieta. Half the town of Douglas, Arizona, was under the fire of Mexican guns. On that occasion seven Americans were wounded. Governor Sloan of Arizo na called upon President Taft for the protection of Americans. The presi dent replied declining to take mili tary action. On October 10 and 11, 1911, Mexi can rebels attacked and captured Juarez. One thousand American troops patrolled the American border and in El Paso, Texas, five Americans were killed and seventeen wounded. On May 12, 1911, Secretary of State Knox sent to Mexico City a note denying that the United States in ended to intervene. On March 29, 1912, rifles were sent to the American legation in Mexico City for the protection of American citizens. American colonists in north ern Mexico flocked across the border, and there was great damage to Amer ican property by Mexican mobs. On April 14, 1912, the state depart ment warned Madero and Orozco against further outrages to Ameri can lives and property. That all occured prior to the pres idential election of 1912. On December 4, 1912, President Taft, in a message to congress, de scribed his Mexican policy, which was practically the same as Mr. Wilson's has been, and he called it the policy of "patient non-intervention." On February fl, 1913, there was an uprising against the Mexican govern ment in Mexico City. Many days of street fighting followed. Several hundred Mexican civilians were killed, including two American women. It was in February, during Presi dent Taft's administration, that Ma dero was killed and Huerta demanded recognition; but there was no recog nition of Huerta and no intervention under the Taft administration. On March 15, 1911, a few days more than two years after Taft was inaugurated and about two years be fore his term expired, President Taft addressed a letter to the chief of staff and declined to do the very thing republicans are now denouncing Pres ident Wilson for not doing. Following is an extract from Pres ident Taft's letter: "The assumption by the press that I contemplate intervention on Mexi can soil to protect American lives or property is, of course, gratuitous, be cause I seriously doubt whether I have such authority Indeed, as you know, I have already declined, without Mexican consent, to order a troop of cavalry to protect the break water we are constructing just across the border of Mexico at the mouth of the Colorado river to save the Im perial valley, although the insurrec tos have scattered the Mexican troops and were taking our horses and sup plies and were frightening our work men away." On April 17, 1911, the governor of Arizona sent a telegram to the presi dent, reading in part as follows: "As a result of today's fighting across the international line, but with in gunshot range of the heart of Douglasf five Americans were wound ed on this side of the line In my judgment radical measures are need ed to protect our innocent people , It will be impossible to safeguard the people of Douglas unless the town be vacated." To this telegram President Taft replied as follows: "The situation might justify me in ordering our troops across the border but if I take this step, I must face the possibility of greater resist ance and greater bloodshed, and also the danger of having our motives misconstrued and misrepresented, and of thus inflaming Mexican popular in dignation It is impossible to foresee or reckon the consequences of such a course; and we must use the greatest self-restraint to avoid it. I cannot therefore order the troops at Douglas to cross the border, but I must ask you and the local authori ties in case the same danger occurs, to direct the people of Douglas to place themselves where bullets can not reach them, and thus avoid casu alty." The only difference between the Wilson policy and the Taft policy was that Mr. Wilson called it "watchful waiting," while Mr. Taft called it "patient non-intervention," (See Message 1912.) On November 26, 1910, the Out look, which became famous by reason of the fact that Theodore Roosevelt was its contributing editor, had an editorial calling attention to "the anti-American demonstrations which have lately taken place in Mexico," in which "great student demonstrations were made, mobs broke windows in buildings occupied by Americans, at tacked newspaper offices favorable to Americans and attacked street cars containing Americans." On March 25, 1911, the Outlook said that "events in Mexico are very confusing" and on April 22, it declared that Mexico presented "a serious state of affairs." It was on April 29, 1911, that Sen ator Stone, a democrat, insisted that President Taft be authorized to em ploy whatever force might be neces sary to restore order in Mexico. Sen ator Root, now one of President Wil son's most bitter critics, said that a threat of force would be "to reverse the policy of the United States and take a step backward in the path of civilization." Senator Lodge, repub lican, and another bitter critic of the Wilson administration, said that President Taft would not ask for force until our diplomatic methods had failed. It was on April 29, 1911, during the Taft administration, that the New York American (Hearst's) said, "Through a laggard and chicken- hearted president, American threats of intervention have become the laughing stock of the regulars and in surgents alike." It was in February, 1913, during the Taft administration, that the New York American (Hearst's) referring to the Mexican situation said, "One hundred or more of American citizens have been slain," and it asked, "Does anyone think that Germany would have endured this outrage for a day ? Does any man believe that English warships would not already be bom barding Vera Cruz for a similar out rage upon English citizens?" The Mexican situation under the Taft administration was so serious that in its issue of September 21, 1912, the Baton Rouge, La., Times said: "The American flag is only a rag in Mexico. El Paso, Texas, and other border papers expressed similar sentiments. All of which goes to show that the Mexican problem is an American problem rather than a democratic problem and that it was as much a problem under Taft as it is under Wilson, and would be as much a prob lem under Hughes as under Wilson or Taft.

Team Fails to Appear The first football game of the sea son advertised for the Oregon City Athletic club failed to materialize. The club management scheduled a game with the South Portland team, but the latter called the game off. Then a game was arranged with the Overlook team of Portland, which failed to appear at Canemah field. As a last resort the team divided and with other recruits played an exhibi tion game. The score for the scrub game was 16 to 3 in favor of the team representing the club. Marriage Licenses Marriage licenses were issued here on Saturday Jby County Clerk Iva Har rington to Evelyn M.
