Pkb Wesk, 10 Cbxts COLONEL FIGHTS PEACE, SAYS TAFT CONTEST CLOSE TO BE EXCITING MANY ARC LIGHTS TO BE INSTALLED ML ANGEL EAGER FOR RAILROAD PRESIDENT ASSERTS ROOSEVELT AND DEMOCRATS EMAS CULATED TREATIES SEVERAL MEN CANDIDATES ARE DETERMINED TO OVERTAKE MISS McCORD COUNCIL PLANS HAVING OREGON CITY RIVAL "GREAT WHITE WAY" . - THE NEW DRESS. CLACKAMAS SOUTHERN DIRECT ORS ARE URGED TO CHANGE ROUTE PROPOSITION SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED APPEAL MADE FOR "SQUARE DEAL" Predecessor Accused By "Fighting Chief Executive" Of Mis representation Bosses Are Opposed COLUMBUS, O., May 8. President Taft charged here tonight in a speech in Memorial Hall, that Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt, his campaign man ager Senator Dixon, of Montana, and Democrats in the Senate were re sponsible for the 'emasculation' of the arbitration treaties with Great Brit ain and France, and that, in .conse quence of their action, the compacts were so changed as to be of doubtful utility. These treaties, the President de clares, would have made wide steps toward universal peace; would have signalized a movement for a univer: sal arbitral court and were as progres sive measures as ever wre suggest ed to the American people. "For some reason, unknown to my puzzle-witted brain," said the Presi dent, "Mr. Roosevelt opposed these treaties and by these men who sup ported that opposition, his manager, Mr. Dixon, and the Democratic votes In the Senate, those treaties were so emasculated that it is difficult to see whether they contain anything of val ue which ought to be ratified into treaty. My idea of progress, and of the hignest progress possible, was in those arbitration treaties, because I saw in them a step toward a univer sal arbitral court to which any nation in the world might resort in order to solve a controversy that it might have with any other nation, and until we get such a court, war will not disap pear. "This was a decided step toward that end, as progressive a measure as ever has been suggested to the American people." Mr. Taft continued his attack to night on Colonel Roosevelt, taking up more than a dozen subejcts that Col onel Roosevelt has referred to in his speeches against, the President M. Taft openly accused Mr. Roosevelt of misrepresentation and misstatement, said that in many actions for which his predecessor now charged him he had been influenced by Mr. Roose Telt's advice, and asked the people of Ohio to give him a "square deal."

G. Kindler 7,200 SStSS$SSS3$SsjSS3 The contest manager was reliably informed Wednesday that all the can didates in the Morning and Weekly Enterprise automobile contest, which will soon come to a close, were doing their oest to land the Ford touring car, offered as first prize. While Miss McCord still leads in' the list publish in this column there is considerable doubt as to whether she is in reality the leader, for it is known that sever al of the contestants are holding in reserve many blocks of ballots. This, however, is their affair, and their plan of campaign. It they win by strategy it will prove that they ex cel in ingenuity, which is something not despised in this age, when men succeed by matching wits. The Enterprise contest is a beauti ful one. With only one girl candi date, and that one so far as is de finitely known in the lead, it is not believed that the men, chivalrous as they are known to be, will let her win without a struggle. Chivalry, of course is one of the finest attributes of man hood, but in this age when the' women are competing with the men in every walk of life, it would be absurd for the men in the automobile contest, to give up and say," Well let the girl have it." And she is not the kind of a young woman who expects such con sideration. In fact the contest man ager finds Miss McCord to be posses sed of the real fighting spirit of the good natured kind of course and she would hesitate before accepting even such a valuable prize as an automo bile without working hard for it. But she realizes the race will be to the finish, and she is doing her best. What she is endeavoring to do is to get such a lead that it will be impossible for any of the others to overtake her, re alizing all the time that her position is far from secure. So if any of the other candidates think, and the con test manager knows they do not, that she, will rest on her laurels the few remaining weeks of the contest they are badly mistaken. However, it is a fact that she has made a thorough canvass, has obtained aid from virtu ally all her friends, while several of the others have not. If such is the case it will be much easier for them to obtain votes in future than she. Then, too, someone will get the sec ond prize $100 in gold and even if you lose the car this prize will more than repay you for your work. .There isn't much time left, so it behooves all the candidate to do their best from now on, and the contest manager is confident that they will. PAINTING POLES AIDS 'CITY BEAUTIFUL' PLAN The electric light poles in the city are being painted, and the telegraph poles will be painted soon, in accord ance with a resolution introduced in the council by Councilman Tooze, which was adopted by a unanimous vote. In presenting the resolution at the first meeting in April, Mr. Tooze called attention to the fact that the contracts with the companies called for the painting of the poles, but they had been somewhat derelict in the matter. The resolution provided that unless the companies painted the poles the city would have the work done and the cost would be subtracted from bills owed them by the city. The painting of the poles will add much to the attractiveness of the city. T ELECTS OFFICERS The annual business meeting of the Christian Endavor society of the First Presbyterian church was "held in the church parlors Tuesday evening, the following officers being elected: President Miss Mable Tooze.

DIVISION UNPOPULAR, Wr- " . 1 SAYS JUDGE BEATIE "I did not meet a man who favored county division," said County Judge Beatie who returned Wednesday from a trip to Sandy, Bull Run, Boring and Damascus. "In fact all the men I talked with were strongly against a partition of the county, and said it would be against' the interests of all sections I am confident that if a vote were taken in the Eastern part of the county it would be two to one against division." Judge Beatie, who has visited var ious parts of the county in connection with bridge and road work, said that the same sentiment existed at High land and Colton. GEORGE M. LAZELLE OF George M. Lazelle, of Twilight, was injured a few days ago while assist ing a lineman repair a broken wire. A part of a stump hurled by a blast had broken the wire.
