Roosevelt Is entered as
the Nest President.
CONCORD, N. H.t Feb. IS. Secretary nt
War Taft had a few spare moments from
the time of his arrtval.in New Hampshire
thin afternoon until a late hour tonight.
He was met at Boston early In e morn
ing by a committee of the Taft Cluh of
Concord and driven to the State House,
where, he was received by Governor
Floyd. A reception at the Bagle Hotel
followed. This lasted an hour and at
1:30 P. M. Mr. Taft was entertained at
luncheon by the Taft Association of New
Hampshire, at which 100 members were
present. At 2 o'clock he addressed a
mass meeting.
Phoenix Hall was well filled. As Mr.
Taft arose to begin his address some one
in the gallery cried: "Three cheers for
our next President,'" and the hall rang
with the response. '
Mr. Taft's address was what he termed
a "Short History of he Republican
Party." He Bald, among other things:
"The time has come when the Dinglcy
tariff should be re-examined with a view
to Its revision on a purely protective
basts."
Republican Party One of Expansion
Secretary Taft said the Republican
party is the party of expansion and
world-influence. "For the time we are
an Asiatic power." said he-. "We cannot
remain isolated and it Is our business to
see that our world-influence is good."
At this point, for the first time in his'
speech. Mr. Taft mentioned the name of
President Roosevelt.
"No man ever has made so much for
righteousness and peace among nations
as has Theodore Roosevelt," he said, and
a ftorm of applause broke forth. Fur
ther applause greeted his statement of
the belief that the Nation was behind
the President In his foreign policy. With
reference to the Pacitlc voyage of the
fleet Mr. Taft said:
"With the Orientals it Is necessary to
fill the measure of the eye, in order to be
convincing. It la no one's business wh.ere
that' fleet is going." This wntlmcnt
'pleased the audience greatly.
More Entertainment Follows-. .
' following the mass meeting the .Secre
tary went to Manchester, where he was
the guest of honor at a reception given
by. the Derry field Club and shortly, after
ward was entertained at a dinner. Fol
lowing this function the Secretary and
Ills, party were driven to the Calumet
Cluh. where a reception as held. Mr.
Tttft then went to the state armory,
where he was received with honor by the
'National Guard and Spanish War Veter
ans. He made a brief address to the sol
rllirs and then left the armory for Me
chanics Hall. Here a public meeting was
held and Mr. Taft delivered his second
,'extended address of the day. At the close
of the meeting-he became the guesf f
Governor Floyd, who took him to his res
ilience for the night. Tomorrow the Sec-
.retary will leave for Nashua.
TAFT SPEAKS TO THE CROWD
Goes Out and Addresses Those Who
Cannot Get In Hall.
MANCHESTER. N.' II., Feb. IS. When
Secretary Taft arrived' here from Concord
today hundreds were at the Btation 'to
greet him. His principal address wm
made at Mechanics' hall, where over 1500
people had been unable to gain admission
to the hall and Mr. Taft insisted on going
out and talking to them for 15 minutes.
Speaking from an automobile, Mr. Tat
congratulated Manchester upon the thrift
of the city, where, he had learned, not
withstanding the financial panic, the
working people in the mills were now re
ceiving pay for full time.
He then re-entered' the hall. When Mr.
Taft stepped to the front of the stage
he was applauded for several minutes.
His address wa almost Identical with the
one delivered at Phoenix hall. Concord, in
the afternoon.
TRUSTS, TARIFF, RAILROAlS
Bryan Says These Are Issues of the
Coming Campaign.
COLUMBUS. O., Feb. IS. William J.
Bryan, in an interview here today, said:
"I can't say just how much President
Roosevelt's attitude has had to do with'
the present financial disturbances. If his
investigations or recommendations have
tended to squeeze the water out of wa
tered stock the blame should fall not
on him but on those who have watered
the stock. My criticism would be that
he did not commence soon enough to
storm the fort.
"The great questions to share the at
tention of voters in the coming cam
paign, I believe," said Mr. Bryan, "are
the trusts, the tariff .and the railroad
questions. But one issue runs through
all of these, however, and that Is, shall
the Government be administered In be
half of all the people or for the benefit
of a few of the people?"

LAND GRANT BLIGHT
(Continued From First Pajre.)
which it has received. It has already re
alized approximately '4,500.000, and now as
serts absolute ownership to property the
assessed valuation of which is $18,000,000.
" Grant Thwarts Own Purpose.
"At the expiration of 40- years after
the enactment of the grant, 2,000.000
acres of the lands granted are vested
in a single proprietor, with no pub
lic ' obligation and virtually controlling
the commercial destiny of a large
portion of Oregon. This Is the
very evil which the provisos of tho
grant were destined to avert. Yet that
condition now exists, with the assertion
of a legal right to make it permanent.
"'It is confidently believed that sub
stantial remedies exist in favor of the
Government. It Is the purpose df the
Department of Justice to enforce these
remedies. It is respectfully Suggested,
however, that discussion of their form
be deferred for presentation before the
court to which the cause shall hereafter
be addressed."
SENATE DEBATES LAND GRANT
Fulton Leads In Movement to Have
Suit Begun.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 18.-The fact that
the Department of Justice has made all
preparations to begin a suit to enforce
the terms of Government land grants In
the State of Oregon waa brought out in
the Senate today, when Fulfon, of the
committee on judiciary, reported a resolu
tion authorizing the department, to bring
such suits and asked for its immediate
adoption. Hcyburn asserts that Hundreds
of millions would be found to be involved
If the proceeding were made general. The
resolution was generally discussed by
Senators. the only objection urged
against It being based upon the idea that
the Attorney-General waa now empow
ered by law to do all that is sought by
the resolution.
During the discussion Fulton announced
that the ' department was ready to pro
ceed and merely wanted the authority of
Congress to meet any possible question
that may be raised against the legality
of, the proceedings.
No Doubt of Violation.
The resolution also applies to the exant
made for the construction of -a telegraph
line from Portland to Ontario' and Mc
Mlnnvllle,. Or., under the act of May 4,
1S70. The resolution authorizes the Attorney-General
to ascertain and enforce
all the rights in favor of the United
States, if it appears that the lands are
forfeited to the United States by the vio
lation of the -conditions of these acts.
Fulton -said there was no question that
the roada had violated the terms of thes
grants, as the violation had been admit
ted before the-subcommittee. . .
Tillman explained that he had intro
duced the original resolution In view of
what he had learned while on a visit to
the Pacific Coast. He was satisfied rail
roads are now holding land from settle
ment .worth millions of dollars.
The propriety and necessity of passing
such a resolution was questioned by For
age. Fulton did not personally believe the
resolution was necessary, but the Attorney-General
wanted it and he thought It
should be passed. ' .
Congress May Forfeit Grants. '
Nelson said the Supreme Court had de
cided that the forfeiture of such grants
could be enforced either in the courts or
by Congress.
"This resolution," he said, "is merely
an expression that Congress prefers to
have the court take action. Congress
could only declare absolute forfeiture, but
the court of equity could say to the
railroads that If they proceed to comply
with the terms of the grant their grants
would not be forfeited." . ji'
Heyburn said ((he same conditions re
ferred to in the resolution exist; in all
land-grant states, although only Oregon
Is .referred to in the resolution. For 40
years the railroads- he said, had refused
to comply with the terms of these grants.
The settler could not proceed against the
railroads to force them to comply with
the terms of their grants to the land, be
cause the proceeding could only be
brought by the Government, which gave
the grant.
"This question," he added, "Involves
millions of acres of land, worth hundreds
of millions of dollars."
In reply to a question by Dixon," Hey
burn said ho thought the same limitation
existed In the land grant of the Northern
Pacific Railroad. Dixon, Fulton and Nel
son did not agree with him In that state
men. ' ,
The resolution, drawn by the Depart
ment of Justice tp satisfy any doubt that
might be raised as to its authority to
proceed against the railroads, was offered
as a substitute for the resolution recently
offered by Senator Tillman. The resolu
tion was placed on the calendar under
objection by Senator Galllnger, who
thought It could not be disposed of to
da?. The resolution directs the Attorney
General to prosecute suits to enforce the
rights of the United States pertaining to
land grants made to aid the construction
of railroads and telegraph lines by the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company In
California and Oregon, involved In the
act of July 25, 1S66, and to the grant
made to aid In constructing a military
wagon road from Coos Bay to Roseburg,
Or., under the act of March 3, 1S59.
Fulton is confident 'that he will secure
the early adoption of his resolution. The
resolution as introduced is satisfactory to
the Department of Justice, although con
tention was made in the general debate
by Foraker, Nelson and Heyburn. whd
say that suit may be Instituted by the
Department of Justice without the direc
tion of Congress. Senator Fulton believes
the objections will' be withdrawn and the
resolution adopted.

Why are there so many high priced patent coffee
pots on the market ? Read any of the advertise
ments. Listen to the arguments set forth by the
people who sell these. They will tell you that
their mission is to extract the poison that abounds
in every coffee and to thus give you a clearer,
better tasting, more healthful beverage. "
.When you buy
I mm
you don't have to use a fancy coffee pot or percolator,
we have taken out the poison bearing, bitter tasting
element from the best coffee we can buy. This is the
part of the berry that when it comes in contact with
boiling water undergoes a chemical change. There is
liberated an active, harm-doing, disagreeable tasting
substance that is not only injurious but detracts from
the natural delicious coffee flavor.
"With "Purl-tan-ated" Coffee we have done in the first
place that which the manufacturers of coffee pots at
tempt to do for you at the time you brew the beverage.
When you use "Purl-tan-ated" Coffee you can brew it
in anything even a sauce pan. It is just as good, too,
warmed over the next day as when you first made it.
This is a subject worth looking up.
