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."

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.

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.

, And City Fathers In Grand
Chorus Say, "Let There
Be More Light!"
As a result of the efforts of the
Mayor and several members of the
city council Oregon City soon will be
one of the best lighted cities in the
state. At a recent meeting of the
council, several members, including
Mr. Tooze, suggested that inasmuch
as the city had grown a great deal in
the past two or three years and many
streets had been improved more arc
lights should be Installed and others
should be moved to more desirable
locations. Mayor Dimick and the mem
bers of the council made several trips
of inspection in automobiles with the
! result that it was decided by a unan
imous vote to give the city a better
service. The electric company has
been notified of the work that is plan
ned and the lights will be installed at
once.
The incandescent light at Eight
eenth and Moss Streets in Greenpoint
will be replaced by an arc light on a
pole sixty feet high. Lights will be
installed at Ninth and Center streets,
Third and John Adams Streets, Thir
teenth and Center streets, at Wash
ing street and the Abernethy, at Elev
enth and Jefferson streets, at Twelfth
and John Quincy Adams streets, at
Twelfth and Van Buren streets, Twel

Madison, on Molalla Avenue between
Everhardt & Hall's store and Welsh's
Lumber JYard. The light at Tenth and
Taylor streets will be removed to
Ninth and Taylor and the light in
front of Mrs. Chase's home on the
bluff will be moved to Sixth and High
streets.
The light at Eleventh and Jefferson
will light the canyon at Eleventh
street and the one at Twelfth and
John Quincy Adams street will be of
great benefit to persons living near
the high school.

OREGON CITY'S BIG
Offer Will Be Good News To Resi
dents Of Molalla Country
Who Will Reap Great
est Benefit
A delegation of prominent citizens
of Mount Angel Wednsday made - a
flattering offer to the directors of the
Clackmas Southern Railway Company
to have the line pass through that
city. The offer wos considered at a
meeting in the evening, and while no
decision was reached, the directors
expressed themselves as highly grat
ified over the proposition. The de
tails will not be made public until it
is decided whether the route will be
through Silverton or Mount Angel.
The delegation that made the prop
osition was composed of Joseph J.
Keber, banker, Fred Schwab, Henry
Berning, who is a stockholder in the
company, and J. W. Ebner. These
men, who explained the proposition
to the directors, said that the citizens
of Mount Angel were determined to
have the railroad, and ; would exert
themselves to the utmost to get it.
The southern terminus of the road
will be Salem and the route will be
through either Mount Angel or Sil
verton. The citizens of Silverton are
just as anxious to obtain the railroad
as .their friends in Mount Angel, and
the rivalry for the prize is keen.
The information that Mount Angel
is willing to aid in building the road
will be good news to the residents of
Molalla and the rich territory sur
rounding that city, which will reap
the greatest benefit from the improve
ment. The directors say the road is
assured .and it will only be a few
months until trains are running from
this city through the rich Molalla
valley.

and aro unable to be away from their
work on other days it was decided
to have the picnic-July 4.
