LEADERS PUZZLED
OVER HIS SILENCE
Politicians Worried Because
Roosevelt Doesn't Talk
Against Third Term.
IS HE PLAYING SLY GAME?
Knowing Field Is Against Taft,
President May, by Master Stroke
at Convention, Throw His
Strength to the Secretary.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Oct. 8. Why docs President
Roosevelt remain silent whenso many
Republicans are talking about forcing
him to accept a renominatlon? If that
question could be authoritatively an
swered every Presidential candidate in
the field would tinou how to size up
the political situation. But so long
as the doubt exists none, unless It be
Secretary Taft, Knows what to think
or what to expect.
So far as the country knows, thp
President Is standing pat on the declar
ation he made Immediately following
his election. Never has he varied that'
declaration in the slightest degree In
anything he has said publicly, or In
anything he has authorised others to
ray. Yet the President can not be.
and Is not, unaware that many Repub
licans are clamoring for his renomina
lion; some seeking to persuade him
to change his position; others, like
Bpnator Bourne of Oregon, demanding
that he be renominated regardless of
what he himself may wish or desire.
It Is admitted, after having been
many times demonstrated, that Presi
dent Roosevelt Is as accomplished a
politician as any man in either party,
but he does not play politics according
to old rules. He has rules and methods
of his own, and while peculiar to him
self they usually lead to success. True
friends of the President take him at
his word, and sincerely believe that
he will rupt accept another nomination
tinder any circumstances. Why, then,
does he not reiterate his declaration
and put a stop to the agitation?
Throw His Support to Taft.
That the President has some definite
purpose' In permitting this sentiment
to continue can not be questioned, and
from the fact that he is intensely
anxious that Secretary Taft shall be
nominated, it is reasonable to suppose
that the President expects in the end
to turn Roosevelt men to Taft. Even
Eenator Bourne, who will not admit
that any other man than Roosevelt Is
in the running, declares that he stands
for policies rather than men. If other
Republicans take a similar position it
may be that the President will later
appeal to them to regard his personal
wishes, relieve him of embarrassment,
and support the one candidate above
all others who stands for the identical
policies advocated by -President Roose
velt himself. "
Republicans who regard the Presi
dent as a man of his word are much
inclined to the opinion that the Presi
dent does not check the "third term
talk" because he believes that later
on he can throw his support to Taft.
There are others, but they are not
Iriends of Taft, who declare that the
President cannot" deliver to another
the votei that he himself could have
if he should declare himself a can
didate. Asked why, they always an
swer that the American people will not
be dictated to, even by Roosevelt.
The situation Is a remarkable one.
Here la a President so popular that
he could, by merely saying the word,
have a renomlnation that would be
equivalent to en election, for no one
will claim that Roosevelt could be de
feated next year should he be nomi
nated. Yet Mr. Roosevelt has said
most emphatically that he will not
accept another nomination. Because of
his popularity It Is only natural that
some men should favor his renomlna
tion. Yet, If the President will not
take the nomination, and if the people
overwhelmingly indorse his administra
tion and his policies, why should they
be- unwilling to support the candidate
most intimately associated with the
policies that have made Roosevelt pop
ular, and the one man among all the
candidates who, in the opinion of the
President, would continue the policies
now generally approved? The argu
ment that the people will not be dicta
ted to is hardly adequate; it does not
fit the case. The President will not
undertake to dictate; the most he is
apt to do Is to let It be known that he
regards Mr. Taft as the most available
man for President because Taft, more
than any other candidate, will adnere
to present policies and continue the
reforms now under way.
Taft Close to the lead.
When the campaign really opens and
the various candidates for the nomination
Bre actively engaged In the battle for con
trol of the convention, the charge will be
mads that Taft is not strong in his own
right, but because of, the support of the
President. Yet Tate's whole career has
demonstrated that he is not a follower
but a leader. His record will bear com
parison with that of any of the so-called
independent candidates. Compared to
Taft Fairbanks is a mollycoddle. He
takes no initiative; he has never been
. identified with any forward movement by
our Government; he Is no leader. Can
non has been- a leader and a dictator in
the House of Representatives, but Can
non has often been compelled" to capitu
late to the Roosevelt Administration,
whereas Taft has been in close harmony
and has worked with it. Cannon may be
Independent, but he Is not always victori
ous In his Independence; seldom so when
he crosses swords with the man who
shaped the policies that make the Admin
istration so popular.
Knox Is given moeh credit for his prose
cution of the trusts while he was Attorney-General.
Yet Knox performed the
service imposed upon him by President
Roosevelt, and he succeeded for two rea
sons; the Roosevelt programme was based
on right, and Knox, being at the head of
his profession, had the ability to carry
through the Roosevelt programme to suc
cess. The career of Knox as Attorney
General was no mors creditable than,
and not as well known as. the career of
Taft In the Philippines, In Panama, or in
Cuba. Therefore Knox enjoys no advan
tage over Taft. The only candidate who
can claim absolute Independence is Gov
ernor Hughes of New York, and Hughes
la the only candidate likely to step be
tween Taft and the Presidency. Hushes
does not have the support of the Presi
dent because the President believes Taft
is betU-r able to fill the Presidency. Taft
has had more experience In National af
fairs; hi in closer touch with the Adminis
tration, and needs lees schooling to carry
on the work now under way. Hughes is
equally fearless and equally independent.
In fact Hughes has never bad the ap
pearand of being dependent upon the
President;' though the President was
largely responsible for the selection of
Hughes two, years ago. But Hughes'
success as Governor is in no way attribu
table to support from the President; his
record is entirely of his own making, and
it Is a matter of common note that tie at
tained success by applying to New York
state the same general principles laid
down by President Roosevelt In the coun
try at large. He Has taken care of the
Interests of the people, and has under
taken to punish those who have been op
pressing the people.
Chance Yet Xor Hughes.
Conceding that the President will not
accept another nomination and admitting
for the sake of argument that Taft is
really handicapped by reason of the fact
that the President wants him nominated,
the convention is most likely to turn to
Hughes, for. in the opinion of the public,
Hughes is the type of man who would
generally advocate the identical policies
that have made. Roosevelt a success, and
he would stand by those policies regard
less of what anyone else did. There Is
general confidence in Hughes because of
the manner in which he has conducted
himself in New York state. He has been
tried out and has made good. In a gen
eral way, he is a man of the Roosevelt
type, though because of differences of
opinion on local New" York matters, he
and the President have not worked in
harmony of late. The President, while
applauding the success attained by the
Governor, does not regard him as favor
ably as he does Taft, and fair-minded
Republicans will admit that the President
has had exceptional opportunities to Judge
of the respective' qualifications of the
two men. It is therefore difficult to
fathom the pretended belief of some Re
publicans that the Republican conven
tion will never nominate a candidate put
forward by President Roosevelt. Even
these men admit that Roosevelt could
have the nomination for the asking; why
then should not a convention so favorable
to Roosevelt be willing to accept his
judgment as to the various candidates,
particularly when everyone knows the
President is so deeply interested In seeing
the policies of his administration contla
ued throughout the ensuing administra
tion. The President would never have
turned to Taft had he believed that
Hughes would more faithfully adhere to
present day pollpies.

Republic, Father Charles Springer, cZ
New Era, and other distinguished
guests. Rev. A. HHlebrand introduced
the speakers with happy remarks, tak
ing occasion to say that the .day would j
be the most memorable in his life. He
spoke feelingly of the memorial and
the incidents that led to its establish- ;
ment and the singing of thd "Te Deum" '
by the pupils followed. The first
speaker was Mayor Cau field, who eulo
gized McLoughlin's memory and advo- ,
cated the formation of a society, em- !
bracing the people of the Northwest,
having for its purpose the establish
ment of a second monument to the
man, whose loyalty to his employer,
the Hudson Bay Company, cannot be
called into questions.
Rev. William McGee, who received his
early education at St John' s school,
compared the old institution with a little
child, whose development had been steady.
growing up In the beautiful surroundings
of Oregon City to be strong. He said
the McLoughlin Institute was the Phoe
nix of St. John's School, and looked for
ward to a splendid future for the insti
tution. "This fine building will perpetuate the
memory of McLoughlin by education in
a way that brass and bronze could never
do," sata Rev. Joseph Gallagher, presi
dent of Columbia University. "Our pres
ident is after the greatest lntellecte of
the land for the purpose of answering In
a way they . should be answered. This
awful question of graft would never have
sprung up If our people had been prop
erly educated along moral and righteous
lines." Rev. Gallagher urged the liberal
support of the Institute. "You will never
regret," said he, "the few dollars you
have spent In , the -education of your
children. The system of education that
does not carry religion with it is de
fective, and it does not run far enough
for the great public good."
Hon. W. D. Fenton, president of the
Oregon Historical Society, said that in
the observance of the memory of Mc
Loughlin, Catholics, Protestants and men
of no religion should unite. "You show
wisdom," he declared, "in building a
monument that lives and breathes today
and it will live."
State Senator Joseph E. Hedges, as the
representative of Governor Chamberlain,
said that the greatest menace of this
country is the noticeable lack of gaining
wealth by honorable pursuits, but there
has for" several years developed a more
wholesome sentiment along these 'lines
which, if it lives, will make the perpet
uation of this Nation inevitable. There
is no power like that gained in the strife
of the soul along with the ignoble. .
Archbishop Christie's Remarks.
"It has been my great pleasure," said
the venerable Archbishop Christie, "by
solemn prayer and sacred ceremony to
dedicate this building in memory of the
great and 'illustrious John McLoughlin.
especially because he was a Christian
man, and the principles of Christianity
actuated ami governed his every action.
My mission Is at all times to cause to
be ereoted buildings where our children
may be educated to be good citizens. The
principles of honesty, virtue and morality
are taught in the schools of the North
west, and wherever our church Is erected
we must have a temple of science clef
by to train and educate the soul. I con
gratulate Father HHlebrand, the good
sisters and the people of Oregon City
who have contributed toward the erec
tion of this building in which the' child
ren of Oregon City can be called together
to teach them the everlasting truth and
to fit them to be just and upright citi
zens." Mr. Holman was referred to by Father
HHlebrand as a man to whom tne people
of Oregon City and the entire North
west should be grateful for his history
of John McLoughlin. Mr. Holman de
livered the main address of the afternoon
and said in part:
Address of Frederick V- Holman.
Ws have corns nere today to witness the
dedication of an educational institution
named in honor and In kind and affec
tionate remembrance of Dr. John M-rLouRh-lln
the Father of Oregon one of the best
and noblest of men.
Fifty years ago, on the third day of Sep
tember, 1857, this man the greatest of Ore
gon's citizens, the greatest of its bene
factors, the greatest of its humanitarians
died tn this city, near where this building
stands, a martyr to his principles and to
bis humanity. It Is given to comparatlvely
few men to be long remembered, after their
deaths, in books and tn histories. Still
rarer is the man long held in grateful
memory, and whose good deeds are treas
ured in the minds and in the hearts of those
who personally knew him and of their de
scendants; and whose fame is kept alive
In the traditions of a people as well as
in its histories. Such a man Is Dr. John
McLoughlin.
It Is hardly necessary at this time to give.
In more than bare outline, a recital of the
life and deeds of this grand and noble man.
For lack of time I cannot, in this address,
even mention some of his noble acts.
He was born October 19, 17S4. tn Parish
La Riviere du Loup. Canada, about 120
miles below Quebec on the south side of
the St. Lawrence River. His parents were
of a high laas. His father was an Irish
man and his mother was the daughter of
a Scotchman, a retired officer of the British,
regular army. His father died while Dr.
McLoughlin was a boy. He was brought
up In the family of his maternal grand
father. He was educated in Canada and
Scotland and partlv in France. He be
came a physician, although he did not long
practice his profession. But It gave him
a title which became, and will continue
forever, a part of his name. In the early
pioneer days of Oregon, and until his death
and afterwards, he was respectfully and af
fectionately called "the good doctor1 and
"the good old doctor" by the Oregon
pioneers.
Dr. McLoughlin's Religion.
Tr. McLoughlin was always the friend
and supporter of the Christian religion,
without regard to sect or denomination, as
well as of schools. Out of his lend claim
In Oregon City he gave lots to the Meth
odists, Presbyterians, Cong re rationalists and
Catholics. He gave eight lots to a Cath
olic Sisterhood, and eight lots to the Clack
amas Female Protestant Seminary.
Rev. Francis Norbert Blanche t, after
wards the first archbishop of the diocese of
Oregon City, was one of the two first
Catholic priests who came to Oregon. In
his hook "Historical Sketches of the Cath
olic Church in Oregon," Archbishop Blanche t
aays :
"It Is but Just to make special mention of
the Important services which Dr. John Mc
Loughlin though not a Catholic fcas ren
dered to the French Canadians and their
families, during the fourteen years he was
Governor of Fort Vancouver. He It was
who read to them the prayers on Sunday.
Besides the English school kepr for the
children of the Bourgeois, be had a separ
ate one maintained at hi own expense, la
which prayers and the catechism were
taught in French to the Catholic women
and children on Sundays and week days,
by his orders. " He also encouraged the
chant of the canticles, tn which he waa as
sisted by his wife and daughter, who took
much pleasure in this exercise. He visited
and examined hia school once a week.
He U was who saved the Catholics
of the - fort and their children from the
dangers of perversion, and who. finding the
log church the Canadians had built a few
miles below Fairfield, la 1830. not properly
located, ordered it to be removed, and re
built oa a. large, prairie, its present beauti-
fui site, I
When He Joined Catholic Church. !
i
Dr. McLoughlin's parents were Catholics J
and when he was 15 vears old he was bap- I
tixed by a Catholic priest. Afterwards, and
up to the year 1841. Dr. McLoughlin was a I
member of, at least he affiliated with, the
Anglican Church. In 1842 he became a
member of the Catholic Church and con- j
tlnued a consistent,. exemplary and steadfast I
member of that ehurch until his aeatn. it
was truly said by J. Qulnn Thornton, one
of Oregon's early pioneers, a Protestant, In
speaking of Dr. McLoughlin, that "as a
Christian he waa a devout Roman Catholic,
yet. nevertheless. Cathollo in the largest
sense of that word.
There has been some Question as to when
Dr. McLoughlin joined the Cathonc Church.
Commodore Charles WHkes, of the United
States Navy, was at Fort Vancouver in
May, 1841: In his narrative he says that
at that time Dr. McLoughlin. although
treating the Protestant missionaries with
great kindness, was then a professed Cath
olic. This shows that Dr. McLoughlin was
then attentive to the usages and tenets
of that church. The matter has now been
settled, I think, beyond dispute. For this
I am indebted to the kindness of Rev. Jl.
HHlebrand. Pastor of St. John's Church
at Oregon City. The original "memoranda"
of the establishment of the original Cathollo
mission In Oregon kept by Archbishop F. H
Blanchet are new a part of the archives of
St. John's Church. A copy of a part of this
memoranda, given to me by Father HHle
brand. la as follows:
"When they F. N. Blanchet. V. O.. of
the diocese of Quebec and Rev. Modeste
pemers, assistant missionary arrived at
Fort Vancouver (in 1838). Dr. John Mc
Loughlin was chief factor and governor of
the Hudson's Bay Company, west of the
Rocky Mountains and in charge of said Fort
Vancouver. Said Doctor was then a
Protestant. About September (1842) he
begged to be received In the Holy Cathollo
Church. On the 18th of November, he
made bis adjuration of the Protestant
Church and his profession of the Cathollo
faith and his first communion at Fort Van
couver at midnight mass of Christmas of
the same year, 1842, and was confirmed
afterward."
Highly Honored by the Pope.
In his protection of Smith and his com
panions, and the recovery and the restora
tion of the furs: in his welcome to travel
ers and rival traders; in hts kindness to and
protection of the missionaries; in his rescue
of the humble Japanese sailors ; and in his
salvation of the early Immigrants, Dr. Mc
Loughlin was actuated as a Christian and
by the broad spirit ot humanity, and with-,
out regard to the race or to the' raifk or '
station in life of those he helped.
It was a high, but a well-deserved aonor,
when. In 1MH. Pope Gregory XVI. made
Dr. McLoughlin a Knight of St. Gregory
the Great, of civil crade. Yet such was
the humility of Dr. McLoughlin, that while
he accepted the honor. I do not know of
an instance where he used the title, or
boasted of it.
Let there be praise and commendation
of those who planned the erection of this
institute and of those who contributed to
Its erection; especial credit is due to Father
HHlebrand, who originated the Idea and has
with untiring energy carried it to comple
tion and who gave the institute its name.
It is particularly fitting that this school,
and these ceremonies, Bhould be here, in
Oregon City. This city was named by Dr.
McLoughlin. It was here he lived and suf
fered. It was here he was aspersed and
was desoolted. It was here he died a
martyr. It Is here his body has lain burled
in an honored grave for BO years In the
same block of land on which this institute
stands. It Is on a part of his land claim.
By the dedication to his name and memory,
this Institute becomes a sacred monument
on hallowed ground. This monument will
assist in preserving his fame. But it cannot
make his memory more dear to true Ore
gonlans. That is treasured in their hearts.
It Is a heritage which will be transmitted,
as a precious thing, to the remotest genera
tions. In the dedication of this Institute to
day let us dedicate ourselves to the good
and lofty qualities of Dr. McLoughlin. Let
us strive to emulate some of his virtues.
If we fail, we shall have the benefit of
our endeavors even In our failures. Let
us cultivate, if we but feebly Imitate, his
humanity even if it result In nothing better
than a more kindly feeling for our fellow
men. Inspiration of the Monument.
To the pupils and students who ' attend
here there will always be the inspiration
of the life and character of Dr. John
McLoughlin. The name of this Institute
will call to their minds the high ideals
of hts virtues, of his kindness, of hie s-en-eroslty,
of his hospitality, of his philan
thropy, of his humanity, of his mastery of
himself and of others, of his proper obedi
ence to those in authority over him. and
also of his obedience to the higher laws
of God and of humanity when his obedience
otherwise would have conflicted therewith.
There will be before them his example of
duty, well and faithfully done under dis
couraging and distressing circumstances: of
doing right because it Is right, without re
gard to the consequences.
Today comes to us, all the stronger, the
feeling of what Dr. McLouvhlin was and
what he did. Today we more fully ap
preciate what he accomplished in laying the
foundation of Oregon; and we feel, that al
though dead, hts spirit still lives, and his
example Is helping to make a better and
a greater Oregon.
In speaking of Dr. McLoughlin It Is dif
ficult to refrain from extravagant eulogy.
His noble life makes us almost forget that
he had any of the weaknesses and imper
fections incident to human beings. His vir
tues stand pre-eminent. Let us not deify
him, but give to him and his memory their
proper weed, for he hud. and freely exer
cised, the God-like qualities with which he
was endowed. He exalted not himself. He
did not pose as a model. He was human,
but he was a manly man, and his heart was
full of loving kindness. He recognized right
as it was given him to see it. and he acted
accordingly. He saw hts duty as a man
and he was not afraid, nor dtd he shirk, but
quietly and effectively he performed It for
the duty's sake and not for his own glori
fication. To this Xoble Man. to this Great White
Chiff, to this Good Old Doctor, to his
Savior of the Oregon pioneers, to this great
Humanitarian the Father of Oregon be
honor and nraise for all time.
CONDUCTOR IS ASSAULTED
Hobo Logger Tries to Beat Up Con
ductor Young and Is Thrashed.
CASTLE ROCK, Wash., Oct. 6. (Speo-lal.)-i-An
unprovoked and cowardly as
sault was made on Conductor Young, of
train 34, from Portland, while the latter
was at the depot here at 2 o'clock this
mornlngr. A big. roughly dressed fellow,
who appeared to be what Is called a
"hobo" logger, had been on the train
bound for this place, and had conducted
himself In a very gross manner In the
presence of the lady passengers, but on
being reprimanded by Conductor Young
he subsided. He waa heard to make
threats, though, against the conductor.
When the train arrived here he and a
companion alighted, and when Mr. Young
came from the station building he was
assailed by a string of abuse and dirty
epithets. He paid little attention to the
fellow, but went about his business.
However, when he partly turned around
to signal the engineer to go ahead the
thug etructo him a powerful blow on the
neck, which cut a long, deep gash, but
fortunately did not knock his victim
down. Young, who Is also a large, power
ful man, quickly turned on his assailant,
and after smashing his lantern over his
head, proceeded to thrash him In the
most approved style. The tough, how
ever, put up a game fight, and was about
holding his own, when the express mes
senger and others started to Young's as
sistance. The assailant and his compan
ion took to their heels. The brakemen, it
is said, made no move to assist their
chief.

precautions on the trip down to Mem
phis to bump a goodly portion of them
Just to show they were there. The
President's safety was not endangered,
It is explained, because the good steam
mer Mississippi is of the flat bottom
variety common on the river and could
not be turned over by a little gentle
rocking. The President when he
landed at Memphis, It is stated, was
familiar with the location of a large
number of the obstructions to naviga
tion between that place and Keokuk,
Iowa. His experience is declared to
have increased his interest in the needs
of navigation and that, of course, was
the object sought In giving him a few
harmless bumps by a pilot who could
dc the Job without getting stuck fast.
