ALLIES STRIVING
TO PLACATE TAFT
Men Who Most Bitterly Op
posed Him at Chicago Will
Work for Ticket.
BUT MOTIVES ARE SELFISH
Foraker Fears for Seat in Senate
and Cannon Dreads Loss of
Speakership Knoi and
Fairbanks Look Ahead.
OREGONIAX XEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 4. The allies'' who, at
the Chicago convention, were opposed to
inn., oui ncomeseed in his nomination
rather than force a Roosevelt stampede.
ni give me itepuniican ticket hearty
support in the Fall campaign. Some will
support Taft out of party loyalty; others
win taKe an active part in the campaign
In the hope that by so doing thev will
win the good graces of the Republican
candidate.
The first of the allies to announce his
support of Taft was Senator Foraker.
of Ohio, Taft's bitterest enemy. No soon
er nan the news of Taft s nomination
reached ashington than the Ohio Sen
ator gave out an Interview Dlednin him
sIf to faithfully support the ticket.
Foraker was moved to make this expres-
Bivn iiujn einuus motives. first and
foremost, he wanted to placate Taft in
the hope that Taft would not undertake
to prevent nis re-election to the Senate.
Secondly. Foraker has hopes that some
time in the future he may be chosen hv
a Republican National convention to lead
the party in a Presidential campaign,
and therefore he must remain loyal.
iniraiy. r oraKer is usually found with
the party organization on partv ones
tions. and in times when the party line
is clearly drawn.
But the main reason why he was so
prompt in announcing his intention was
to give forth the Impression that he was
through making war upon Taft, and that
he expected Taft to reciprocate.
Knows When to Be Good.
No one who knows Foraker believes
that he will remain in -a peaceful turn
of mind if he is re-elected to the Senate,
and Taft is elected to the Presidency.
In such event Foraker would be as much
of a thorn in the side of the incoming
administration as he has been in the
side of the ftoosevelt administration. But
Foraker knows when he must be good
and he realizes that now is one of the
times. He would have the utmost diffi
culty being re-elected if Taft should
openly oppose him in Ohio; therefore he
courts the good graces of the Republi
can nominee, and for the time being- is
wining to eat out of his hands.
SVhether Taft will make peace with
1-oraker or whether he will undertake to
prevent his renomlnation has not yet
been announced. Taft has not com
mitted himself on this interesting ques
tion. Speaker Cannon, in declaring his loy
alty to the Taft ticket, is prompted by
much the same motives that stirred For
aker into declaring himself. Cannon las
not been close to the Roosevelt admin
istration: in fact has been getting far
ther and farther away from year to
year. When the Chicago convention met
there was a vast chasm between Cannon
and the Roosevelt-Taft forces. Now that
the Taft people have shown their
strength, Cannon thinks it is high time
to make peace, for he Is to be a candi
date for re-election as Speaker, and the
friendship of the President would be of
great assistance, Just as the opposition
of the administration would be a serious
obstacle.
Cannon Rank Partisan.
Cannon, nevertheless, is a rank parti
pan. He bas always been a Republican:
always voted the Republican ticket, and
would do so this year, no matter who
was nominated. But he promises to do
more than vote, and the extent of his
enthusiasm can be safely taken as a
measure of his concern over his own
campaign for re-election as Speaker of
the House. If Cannon ta.kcs off his coat
and "whoops it up" for Taft it will be
a safe guess that "Uncle Joe" is pretty
badly scared.
None among: the "allies" will give
Taft more enthusiastic support than
Senator Knox. The little man from
Pennsylvania bad the good sense to
know that his Presidential boom was
never worth anything, unless the con
vention should become deadlocked, and
lie dirt not look for a deadlock. From
the first he did nothing to force him
self to the front: his boom was entirely
in the hands of his friends. Being1 a
comparatively young man, Knox knows
that tiie reform wave, rampant for the
past few years, will not continue for
ever, and when a reaction sets in there
may be less antipathy to a man' of his
type than exists in the public mind to
day. Moreover, he hopes, by his course
in the Senate, to disabuse the public
mind of Its present idea that he is a
"corporation" man. When these changes
come, Knox may loom up as a formid
able candidate for the Presidential
nomination.
Knox Admirer of Taft.
Entertaining such views, it is very
natural that Knox should give hearty
support to the Taft ticket. But aside
from this, Knox is a great admirer of
Taft, and is one of his personal friends;
not as close as many, but yet on inti
mate terms with the nominee. It will
give him great pleasure to see Taft
in the White House, and he is going
to do his utmost to bring about a Re
publican victory in November. In
time to come Taft will remember and
reciprocate, if the opportunity pre
sents. That is the Knox theory.
As for Fairbanks, he would support
any candidate who might be put up.
He still regards himself as a Presiden
tial possibility, and he wants to have
his record regular. He has always been
an active campaigner, and If he should
let up in his enthusiasm this year, it
would be charged against him that he
was disloyal to his party ticket, and
that ghost would rise to plague him
four years hence. Fairbanks Is what
is known as a practical politician, and a
practical politician is always looking
to his own future political welfare.
Fairbanks, of all the "allies," has no
excuse for keeping out of the cam
paign. When the fight opens up in
earnest "Buttermilk Charlie" - will be
one of the first men to take the -stump,
and he will be one of the last to come
in in November.
Hughes Looking Ahead.
It is understood that Governor.
Hughes, of New York, is looking ahead
four years, thinking that he may then
stand a real chance of being nominated
That is a very important reason why he
will be prominent In his support of the
Taft-Sherman ticket this Fall. In New
York State Hughes Is not regarded as
a good party man; as Governor he has
shown a partiality for Democratic
appointees in many instances. Never
theless, if he is ever to be nominated
for the Presidency it must be at the
hands of the Republican party. And
that is sufficient incentive to the Gov
ernor to get in and help out the ticket
this year. He win be on hand when
the time comes.
Senator La Follette, notwithstanding
nis Kepuoiican colleagues In the Sen
ate have listed him as a Populist, wants
to show the country that he is a Re
publican at heart, though he believes
himself far ahead of his party. So he
has announced his purpose to support
the ticket, reserving to himself the
right to denounce tb platform. La
Follette's support will not make many
votes; in fact, he may lose more than
he makes. But nobody would under
take to tell La Follette what to do. so
the Taft managers will let him pursue
his way, without interruption or sug
gestion. La Follette thinks the reform
wave is going to continue to increase
In volume, the people b'-come move end
more radical in their demands, and he
has figured it out that by 1912 there
will be a healthy demand for a dema
gogue of about his dimensions. That
may account for his attitude this year.
United After Convention,
But regardless of the motives that
actuate various leaders of the late
'allies, it is a fact, well recognized
by politicians of both parties, that Re
publicans do their fighting before and
in the convention; after the ticket is
named it is the ticket of all factions.
Seldom is this rule broken, and to its
faithful observance is due much of the
success of the Republican party in re
cent years. It would have been the
same had the convention nominated one
of the "allies." Even the most can
tankerous opponents of Taft do not
want Bryan elected; so they all join
hands to bring about his defeat.
Right after the convention it was
said that Governor Cummins, of Iowa,
because he was not named as Taft's
running mate, was going to raise all
kinds of trouble. Cummins, after a
week's deliberation, announces his in
tention to give the ticket his heartiest
support. And Jonathan Bourne, who
did his utmost to offend Taft, In the
hope of promoting the Roosevelt stam
pede, has announced that he, too, is fr.o
ing to help elect Taft. When Bourne
Joins the Taft movement, the way la
open to any man.

Boston Transcript.
Miss Gertrude Holland Wren has just
received the Perelra medal from the
Pharmaceutical Society of England. This
medal is looked upon as the blue ribborr

SENILITY. IH ARMY
Major Woodruff Says Promo
tion Is Too Slow.
PLACES AGE LIMIT AT 60
Says Xo Man Should Be In Service
Beyond That Age Points Les
sons from the Late War.
Raps the General Staff.
PINE CAMP, June 29. Senility in the
United States Army Is a topic of conver
sation .in Pine Camp today. The cause
of It all is an address delivered to the
Regular and National Guard officers by
Major Charles E. Woodruff, Medical
Corps, U. S. A., in which Major Woodruff
said that an application of the Osier
age-limit theory would be a great thing
for the American Army. Major Wood
ruff said an Infusion of young blood
would benefit even the General Staff, and
said that a First Lieutenant at 26 who
was not a Captain at 30 years ought to
be retired as too senile for active duty.
The history of the Spanish War, he said,
was blotted all over with senility.
Major Woodruff is known among med
ical men as the author of the work on
the effects of tropical sunlight on white
men, while among military men he is ad
mitted to be one of the greatest living
authorities on sanitation. Hie lecture to
the Pine Camp officers was part of a
work that has been in preparation 14
years. It will appear complete in the
September Issue of the Journal of the
Military Service Institution. The speaker
said in part :
"in time of war the defective officers
eliminate themselves through the sur
vival of the fittest. Like the pugilists,
they are replaced by younger men. In
times of peace, however, when there is
no occasion to use the brain in those
war problems which require such Quick,
accurate thinking, and when it Is easy
to sink into a quiet routine, dangerous
senility is not noticed.
Ideas Come Before 40 Years of Age.
"All discussions of the subject are re
markable In that they fail to distinguish
youthfulness from what might be called
originality. It would be a sad privation
to lose the work accomplished by men
over 40 indeed an Irreparable loss but
civilization would not be set back, for
their youthful thoughts or discoveries
would remain. Others would continue
the work on the lines laid down.
"About everything In use in the Army,
from guns to methods of drill, Is the in
vention of a man who was less than 40
when he conceived the Idea. Yet through
the slowness of promotion in times of
peace an officer does not reach a place of
authority until he has passed his creative
period. A young Lieutenant or Captain
conceives his idea before 40, and carries
it Into effect. If ever, some time before 60.
"Ericsson's Monitor met with more op
position in Washington than it did in
Hampton Roads. Electric lighting was
kept out of the Army for years on the
senile plea that it was still In the experi
mental stage. Every improvement In
sanitation has met the same kind of op
position. "It is said that a long course of train
ing in obedience fits a man to commond.
It is one of those popular delusions which
are the opposite . of truth. An enlisted
man at 40 is helpless as an officer, and
similarly an officer, too long a subordi
nate. Is unfitted for higher command.
The necessity is therefore urgent for the
more rapid promotion of men into the
upper grades before they are ruined in
the lower.
"As 25 is the age at which real useful
ness begins, it is the age at which the
captaincy should be reached, and if a
Lieutenant Is not promoted by 30 he
should be retired as too senile for his
place. From 2R on, for 15 years' It should
be the place to obtain and utilize all an
officer's ideas, and for 20 more work
him to his limit and pile up his responsi
bilities while he has the power to sup
port them. Every year of the subordi
nation of a lieutenancy after 30 destroys
efficiency as a commander of men.
Xo Man Should Be Over 60.
"Captains failing to be promoted at 36,
Majors at 40. Lieutenant-Colonels at 45,
Colonels at 50, and Brigadier-Generals at
56 should be retired, and no one in the
Army should be over 60. Retirement at
60 years would no doubt deprive us of the
service of many an active, valuable of
ficer, but It would be of incalculable ben
efit in eliminating some dreadful material
and making us as progressive as the Jap
anese, when It is customary for the father
to retire in favor of the eon as soon as
the latter is able to carry on the busi
ness. "Such rigid rules would no doubt be
unjust to a few, but not one-thousandth
part so unjust as to have them Jumped
by the favoritism, inevitable In selection,
no matter how many the restrictions
placed around it. If we older men are the
Judges, how can w possibly help favor
ing those seniors who agree with us and
frowning upon those who have new
Ideals? Selection by a board of seniors
would have thrust Von Moltke, Grant
and Napoleon into civil life as young
men, even though the boards were under
triple oaths. In other words, 'selection'
selects the orthodox unless the aged se
lectors are more than human.
"If the third and fourth decades are
storehouses of ideas, however, the fifth
and sixth are dynamos of energy, and
we should pile up their responsibilities
and work them to a frazzle knowing full
well that It Is work and not revolutionary
Ideas that is to be got out of them. But
It should never again be boasted, as it
was in 1S98, that a future war is to be
fought by old men. It is too early to
analyze that struggle, with its dreadful
record of senility But no one In war
should be over 45. and that is the ideal
to which we should strive, though it can
never be reached in peace.
"The facts prove that the age at which
the President should be authorized to
retire officers peremptorily and against
their will should be 65. and not 62, years."

From the mouth of the Columbia River

Bandon Business Men Raise Fund

BAXDOX, Or.. July 5. (Special.) The
business men of Bandon are raising a
fund for river and harbor improvement
work, independent of Congress. A lagoon
near the mouth of the Coqullle River
deflects a considerable volume of water
from the channel, lessening its scouring
efficiency and causing the formation from
time to time of a sand bar. The money,
of which a considerable amount has been
already subscribed by public spirited cit

owners, will be used to build a break

the main channel and keep the sand
washed away.

t
Is MY FEE in
Disorder
No other physician employs a like method
and so thorough is my work that there need
not be the slightest fear of a relapse Into the
old condition. It is not a question of whether
you can be cured, but whether you will be
cured. Don't wlt until it is too late. My
method Is perfect and quick. The cure is ab
solutely certain. I use NO KNIFE, cause no
pain and you need not be detained from your
work for one day. I especially solicit those
cases where money has been wasted on electric
belts and other appliances.

The Scientific Treatment of Weakness
Dosing the system with powerful stimulants and tonics in an effort
to restore functional visor can have but one final result: The condition
is rendered worse than before. -Weakness" is merely an indication of a
low form of -inflammation in the prostate gland, and this Inflammation
is but aggravated by stimulating remedies that excite temporary activ
ity. I employ the only scientific and fully effective treatment for "weak
ness," which effects a permanent cure by restoring the prostate gland
to a sound and healthy state. I obtain complete results In every case
I treat.
Those in any trouble suffering from SPER- i
MATORRHOEA. LOSSES AND DRAINS.
