".A picture of days when stately ahtpa Bhall carry the rich products of the central states from the Or fat Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico through a. deep waterway, returning with products of no value, was conjured up today before the delegates and vis itors to the third annual convention of the Lnkp-to-GuIf Top Waterway Asso ciation by able speakers, headed by Wil liam H. Taft. Today's utterances '-rere authoritative, for they came from Secretary Eaunders of the association; president Hllam KavanauKh, head of the organization; C harles H. IVneen, Governor of Illinois, who spoke of the first link of the great waterway the Chicago drafnaxe canal, and W. H. Taft. who had general super vision in Washington of the building of the Fanama Canal until he resigned to become the Presidential nominee of tire Republican party. Voire Like Auto Honk. The convention opened at 10 o'clock with a prayer by BWthnp Samuel Fallows, of Chicago. .Mr. Kavanaugh then de livered his annual address and Mr. Saun ders read his report. Mr. Taft. smiling, somewhat hoarse, clothed in a plain business suit, entered the stage, preceded by Mr. Ieneen. The orchestra strurk up "The Star Spangled Banner and the crowd, which had been slow In coming but now filled the big auditorium, cheered and waved small American flags, which had been given to every visitor, upon entering the hall. Mr. Taft. as he arose, prefaced his prepared speech with an apology for his hoarseness, saying: "Gentlemen, 1 must apologize for my voire. f it sounds like the honk of. an automobile, tt may Ik? familiar to you. but not particularly agreeable to you on that account." He continued: Walorwajs Too I-n.ff Neglected.

We find that the enormoua Increase In the production of our people in ail lines of activity has outstripped the ability of our srat railroad systems, ex tensive and efficient aa they are. to trans port them. We find that during; the ten years ending with I'.aift the Internal commerce of our country has Increased H per cent, while railroad tranfrtMton facilities during the S3in time have im-reased only 2l er cent.

How to Solve Problem. Transportailon. then. Is the question of the hour. How can we solve it? We must have rvcouree to our waterways. No nation h. i been favored with so magnificent a sys tem of naiahle lit ken and rivers, reaching In th-1r proldentlal distribution every sec tion of the great valVy lying between our east and weet mountain ranges and of the aiopes from these to their respective coast. If we Imprvve these In accordance with a well defined, pmgrvaslve policy we shall. In conjunction with our great railroads and other forma of transportation, keep race w tth tha Industrial and commercial advance ment of our country. 1 am not unmindful of the great expendi ture of public monev which the prosecution of such a policy alll entail. The expense of carrying an article from the place where It is to the place where It Is wanted must be added to Its cost, whether it be In Its raw or finished state. Therefore Its cheaper car Ttaae results In a saving. The cost of trans portation bv water being about one-sixth of that bv rail, a great saving, apportioned be tween the producer and consumer, and hence among all the people, would follow.

Bryan will make an address and In the afternoon the principal speaker will be Gifford Pinchot, chairman of the Na tional Conservation Commission and Chief of the forestry Bureau at Washington. RIVAL CANDIDATES MEET (Continued From First Page.) characterized his opening, remarks. He said, in part: . "I think I can see oigns of progress In politics. When I first began to run for President, there were no occasions of this kind. I think I note a larger charity, a broader liberality and a more kindly feeling than has sometimes pre vailed in the past. Here the chairmen of the respective committees meet will ing, even In the heat of a campaign, to pauoe for a. moment In the giving out of estimates. Here the treasurers of the respective committees suspend for a moment the Investigation of the busi ness of those who send in checks. We shall carry away delightful recollec tions of this occasion, for, whatever the election may show, we may remem ber one occasion when we were treated with equal consideration. "I am glad to meet at this board one who has been honored by his party with leadership in a great campaign. I am glad to testify to my appreciation of his abilities and his virtues. If I am successful, the victory will be the greater to have been won from ouch, and if I am defeated, the sorrow will be less to have been defeated by such." Vses of Corporations. Mr. Brjan spoke of commerce as the great molding force in the worm ana said that society had largely gained through one of the great inventions that has been made largely for the enlarge ment of commerce the corporate en tity. ''The corporation," he said, is a step In advance. It enables people to do things together what people could not do alone. It relieves those who co operate of the embarrassments of part nership and It substitutes larger opera tions and thus facilitates the work of exchange and none who has estimated with intelligence the usefulness of-the corporation will for one moment think of destroying the power that the cor poration gives- for co-operative efforts. "But In every new step In advance responsibilities come. When the railroad took the place of the turnpike, laws were necessary that were not In the highway, but society, recognizing that the railroad had become a necessity, ad- Justed Itself to the railroad and then proceeded by legislation to correct wnai- ever abuses might arise in the manage ment of railroads. And so society, ac cepting the corporation as an established fact, is proceeding to enact such, laws as may be necessary to make the corpora tions serve the purpose for which they were created, and I am sure that the members of this association, this asso ciation, organized for the promotion of the city's interest, for the development of the citizen's commerce and for the advancement of the city's good, recog nizes that with the large power that cor porate action gives, restriction Is neces sary. Man and Corporations. "There is a difference between the corporate man and the natural man. There Is a difference In the creation. God made man and placed him on his footstool to carry out a divine decree. Man made the corporation for a ma terial purpose. When God made man, he did not make the tallest man much taller than the shortest, and he did not make the strongest man much stronger than the he weakest, but when the law creates the corporate person, that one man may be made a hundred, thou sand, tep thousand, a million times stronger than the God-made man. When God made man, he set a limit to his existence, so that If he was a bad man. he could not be bad long." The Introduction of Mr. Taft was as follows: "In the fortunes of war we acquired alien and subject races. Our Government assumed to lead them to the lofty emi nence of an American. Vgr the accom plishment of this purpose the President sent to the Philippines a typical citizen and an eminent counselor: a man with the courage of his convictions. He accomplished the high purpose of his mission, winning both the confidence of his countrymen and the love and grati tude of a nation to be. Success and honor have crowned his every effort In an active life as citizen. Jurist, peace maker and Cabinet officer. Through all his career and In our Insular possessions he has stood for the Integrity of his Gov ernment and the majesty of right. Gen tlemen. Mr. Taft." Mr. Taft. whose rising was greeted with another outburst of violent cheer ing, prefaced his prepared speech with a few Impromptu remarks, which created laughter. He said: Taft Stirs Bryan's Smiles. "I have only begun to run for the Presidency and I am glad to begin when the political amenities of the campaign are better understood. I am exceedingly glad to meet my disting uished opponent and fellow-guest and to forget the rivalries and disputes of the campaign In this inspiring hospi tality. And I reciprocate in every way and to the full his kindly and courte ous words of respect and good will. With him, I have receutly been sub jected to a considerable strain. . But the experiences of today have been al- most more than I could bear. One non-partisan speech is pretty much of a bore (Mr. Bryan led in the merri ment), when you are in other kind of practice. And to have to make three Inside of nine hours, I submit' to my distinguished fellow-guest and oppo nent, Is cruelty to any man." (Laugh ter.) Mr. Taft discussed Inequalities in the administration of justice, saying: "All our institutons are now being subjected to close scrutiny with a view to proving that some of them should be radically changed. The chief attack Is on the Institution of private property and is baned upon the inequalities In the distrlhuton of wealth and of human happiness made apparent In our system. I believe that the institution of private property next to that of personal liberty has had much to do with the uplifting and with the physical and moral im provement of the human race, but that it is not inconsistent with the rights of private property to impose limitations -upon its use for unlawful purposes and that this is the reform needed, rather than the abolition of the institution itself. "An evil which is likely to grow in importance Is the Inequality between the poor and the rich growing out of the delays in the administration of Justice between Individuals. A defect in our system is seen in the unequal burden which the delays and expenditures of litigation impose on the poor litigant. The reform must be reached through improvement in our judicial procedure." With the conclusion of Mr. Taft's speech the banquet ended. The candi dates shook hands cordially and parted, although they were delayed in leaving the hall by a rush of guests, who wished to obtain their signatures. IIOOSEVELT IX DEXIAIi AGAIN Says He Will Not Take Stump for Taft Hears Good Reports. WASHINGTON. Oct. 7. President Roosevelt told Senator Hemenway to day that he did not consider it neces sary for him (the President) to make speeches in support of Mr. Taft. The President said he had received numer ous requests to go on the stump, but he had decided not to accede to them. The President conferred on the polit ical situation with William L. Ward, Na tional committeeman for New York, Sen ator Hemenway and S. W. Mulvane. Re publican National committeeman for Kan sas. Both Senator Hemenway and Mr. Mulvane told the President everything was favorable for Taft In their states. Mr. Ward announced that Secretary Boot will deliver an address In New York on Otober 31 and that he Is try ing to induce the- Secretary to make other speeches In favor of the Repub lican ticket. DEMANDS FAVORABLE LAWS (Continued From First Page.) less attention. The speaker was accorded frequent ovations. Reads Speech Carefully. There waa no attempt at oratory. Stubbs read carefully from a manuscript and without gesticulation or emphasis. He gave the railroads' view of the fight which had been waged for the regulation of common carriers, and he told hid hearers that if they were not Ignorant of the essentiality of railroads to their being, the fight would have been less bitter. Money for railroad improvement and building would come when the fight ended, he said, but not before, for In vestments of every character were paying a higher return than railroads, with the result that capital was seeking other and more certain and profitable channels. HARKIMAX'S RAILROAD POLICY Stubbs Delivers Message to Trans- Mississippi Congress. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 7. Asserting the rights of unborn generations of Americans and censuring the policy that has squandered with prodigal recklessness the forests and lands, the waters and the minerals upon which the future prosper ity of the West depends, half a score of speakers today placed before the dele gates to the 19th Trans-Mississippi Con gress the records of consumption and waste established by the pioneers and their sons In the West, and pointed the way to economic conservation and reme dial legislation. Except for a brief period allowed for introduction of resolutions, many of which were presented, the entire day was devoted to addresses of this character, some Improvised upon the call of President J. B. Case, but the majority constituting the regular programme and showing, by careful compilation of facts and figures, the time expended In then preparation. Men of Light and Leading Speak. . The Governor of one state, the Attorney-General of another, the president or a university and the traffic director of a great railway system succeeded one another upon the platform and each from his own particular standpoint paid his tribute to Western America and Its people and indicated some step onward, some short-cut-avenue in the way of des tiny. Interest and earnestness of the largest attendance of the session was manifested throughout the extended se ries of addresses by an unflagging atten tion and discriminating outbursts of ap plause at frequent intervals. The reception accorded the address of J. C. Stubbs, traffic' director of the Har rlman lines, who arrived lest night from Chicago to. convey to the congress the regrets of E. H. Harriman at his inability to attend and to assume the place on the programme reserved for Mr. Harriman, was the feature 'of today's deliberations. In the course of his remarks Mr. Stubbs reviewed, frpm the days of earliest con struction, the Intimate associations ex isting between the extension of transpor tation facilities and the regions they re claimed from the wilderness. His clear cut references to the Panama Canal, to the merchant marine and to other sub jects which the Trans-Mlsslsslppl Con gress has adopted as- Its own problems impressed many of the delegates with the belief that the sentiments expressed were inspired by a sincere desire on the part of the transportation interests of the country to co-operate in the plans for Western advancement. Mr. Stubbs spoke on "The Relations of the Railroads to Trans-Mississippi Terri tory." Declaring he was a substitute, In asmuch as he had been delegated by Mr. Harriman to take his place on the pro gramme. Mr. Stubbs said in part: There have been committed to the man agement of Mr. Harriman. as you all know, certain railroad systems which serve, in large measure, this trans-Mississippi region. Included in these is the original trans continental line that mr.de by the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads. It should have been dubbed the "Trans-Mississippi Line." Probably those systems repre sent the largest investment of money of any productive enterprise in all the terri tory within the United States lying west of the Mississippi River. They are also the largest Individual employers of labor. Di rectly and through these employes, they ara tha greatest consumers of the farm, forest and factory. Further it may be said that the sale of transportation the product of these enterprises invites the custom and supplies in some near or remote way an es sential need of every inhabitant of the ter ritory served by them. It would seem to follow that whosoever Is charged with the management of these railroads should be, personally or through close associates, net only acquainted with but alongside of and In touch with every movement that makes for the good, the growth in material wealth and the happiness of the people In these far Western States. These are the reasons why Mr. Harriman accepted the Invitation to be nresent. and they furnish the excuse for sending me here. Mr. Harriman greatly desired to come. He planned to do so. Less than ten days ago he was forced to give it up tt has seemed to me that the men are Malaria is due to impurities ia the blood -which destroy the rich, healthful qualities of the circulation, and reduce it to a weak, watery fluid. The body is then deprived of its necessary nourishment and strength, and is unable to resist the countiess disorders that assail it, and the general system suffers in consequence. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills and slight fever are frequent, while the sufferer loses energy and ambition. Boils, skin eruptions, and some times sores and ulcers follow when the blood becomes deeply polluted with the malarial germs. Both a tonic and blood purifier are needed to cure Malaria, and S. S. S. is best fitted for this work. It is the most perfect of all blood purifiers and at the same time an invigorating, healthful tonic. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation, and removes every trace of impurity or poison, and gives to the blood the health-sustaining qualities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and per manently because it removes from the blood the germs and poisons which produce the disease, and while doing this tones np and strengthens every part of the system.

Custom Regulations ) Lipman Wolfe & Co. offer Friday, the greatest sale of long kid gloves ever . held in Portland; 8, 10, 12 and 16-button lengths, every pair is genuine French kid; perfect quality new gloves. In this lot are no lambskin gloves, so called kid! no seconds and no soiled gloves, such as some stores are accustomed to use in glove sales in order to meet price competition. Every pair is of the quality you buy regularly at $3.50 and $4.00 a pair. Every pair of these genuine French kid gloves wag made at Grenoble, France, by oinTof the leading kid glove makers of the world, but we are not able to state the name of the manufacturer because it would hurt his regular business, and because he is represented in Portland by an exclusive agency. His large Portland representatives were not able to purchase the immense quantity of fiiielndgIoves in this sale lot, although the price was extremely low, on account ofheiFhopeless overstock of gloves of all kinds. So the maker turned to Lipman, Wolfe & Co. to dispose in Portland the largest shipment of real French kidgloves at the lowest prices known in twenty years.

It's the biggest opportunity of the CJOl Q C Fall to buy a suit at the sale price of 4p4TC-4 too numerous who do not understand or who refuse to recognize that railroads are property, entitled to the protection as wel. as being subject to the restraints of the law. Under our form of Government super vision and regulation by law might be ex tended to anv other industrial pursuit if the people willed. It has been applied to rail roads because of their mopollstic nature and the wel-proven fact that transportation in this country Is absolutely necessary to the well-being, the Industrial life, of the people. Hence these agencies of transportation must be restrained and regulated, lest the power they naturally exercise be used to the iurt rather than the help of the people. But fun damentally the right of supervision and regulation does not go to the extent of prac tical management, nor should it limit the rate of profit below that which other In vestments of labor, skill and- money com monly yield. Such agencies as this Congress can, and I hope will, be effective as a means of dis seminating the truth concerning the carriers- rights and needs as well as the rights and demands of the people. It goes without saying that our endeavors must be honest. I firmly believe that 'they must be co-operative. Lines Must Be Improved. Th transcontinental railroad lines. rather the one described as having been first completed, as you all know, was built by the aid of the General Government. The United States advanced large sums of money to the company, which promoted and built these roads, but do you know what is true Is that the last dollar of those ad vances has been returned to the Government with Interest? I welcome this opportunity to say that my people do not object to the improvement of the rivers, the harbors, and the water ways of this country. That work belongs to the General Government and ehould be done at whatever cost wherever tnere is a substantial need. Not Hostile to Panama Canal. I beg your further indulgence to make this statement also. that, so far as I know, and I ought to know, neither Mr. Harriman cor his associates have antagonized the build ing of the Panama Canal Personally I wish It had waited on the rehabilitation of our moribund merchant marine, which I believe ought to be the next great endeavor of our people; but the Panama Canal was inevitable for many reasons. It had become a National enterprise and no one would regret more than I and my associated the failure of that project. Rates Will Be Finally Settled. Railroad rates in thiB country, as a body, are very low, much lower than In any other country. Upon the average they have yielded" smaller returns to investors than any other productive industry that may be com pared fairly with the railroad service. Not only most of the states, but the Congrese, has taken a masterful hand in regulating and restraining the charges of railroads, so that manifestly the public Is amply pro tected from extortion and other forms of In justice. The pirating of one railroad's busi ness by newly-eone-tructed rivals that has been practiced in the rast will not be possi ble in the future. Vhat may be regarded C! CUF5.ES Long Kid Gloves v: $1.98 as unreasonable rates by shippers or unjust ly discriminative rates by a community will In due couree be passed upon by commissions and courts and In the not far distant future, as measured by the life of our Nation, we shall have a system or body of rates that will not provoke bitter contention by ship pers and carriers, though the usual contention between buyer and seller will not ceaee. , Many New Roads to Build. But with all possible Improvements In the existing railroads, the material development of our Western States will require and de mand much, very much, new construction. The physical problems are solved. The building waits only on an eaeier muney mar ket and the revival of business, which ts sure to come if you and those who must construct and manage these roads are co operative In a good business senre. One of the most striking declara tions of the afternoon was that of James F. Callbreath, Jr., secretary of the American Mining; Congress, who, In the course of a lengthy address on the subject of "Mining and Conserva tion of Minerals," said in part: "Until a few years ago the reduction of refractory ores was in the hands of various smelting Interests, so com peting as to keep charges on a fairly satisfactory basis. But the possibili ties were too great to be neglected. The so-called 'smelter trust, the American Smelting & Refining Com pany, has since been organized and successfully operated. During the three years ending April 30, 1908, it made a net profit of $29,304,324 upon a capitalization of $100,000,000, two thirds of which was water. I want to point out to you that the Standard Oil Company, through its most powerful agency, the American Smelting & Re fining Company, today controls 75 per cent of the best brains In the metal lurgical world; 75 per cent of the facil ities for ore smelting, and, through mines already owned, .75 per cent of the future gold, silver and copper out put In the United States. What do you believe will result when the Stand ard Oil extends to these metals the control exercised over products for which there are substitutes?" The speaker criticised the Federal Government for failure to assist in protection of the mining industry ajid urged the importance of a National bureau of mines. Northwestern People in X'cw York.
