President Taft. closed one of the happi
est and most delightful visits of his life
late yesterday afternoon, when he board
ed hist special train at the Union Depot
and depa rted ' f rora Portland, southbound.
He said as much himself, and with un
- mutajtabie sincerity, as he stood on the
observation platform of his car and bade
- - farewell to those who had assembled to
eW him on his way.
"It has all been delightful, I cant
thank you enough for the way I've been
treated. I've never had a happier visit."
he said not' once, but rrAny times, as
he stood shaking hands with friends and
officials.
Tnft Bids City Farewell.
Until the departing train was lost to
view he stood on the platform, smiling
and waving back at those gathered about
the depot grounds. He seemed loth to
go. and It was not until the tram had
passed onto the Steel bridge that he
turned Into hies car. The President took
with him from Portland only the happi
est memories. His choice In selecting
Portland for the longest stop of his
itinerary. New Orleans alone excepted,
was Justified.
The final day of the President's Port
- land visit proved eventful. Little had
Oe to leave him to his own wishes. But he
seemed anxtous to get about In the sun
shine of another perfect Oregon day, and
far less t:.ne was spent by him In his
apartments than had been expected.
Many Callers Are Keceived.
During the morning he received many
callers friends, officials, citizens, repre
sentatives of the labor unions and politi
cians. These he met in his private reception-room
and talked earnestly with
them of the things that hiterest and af
fect Portland and Oregon generally.
He dined with parties of friends and
- officials at breakfast and dinner, attended
4 church in the forenoon, addressed the
Catholic school children of Portland at
Et. Mary's Academy, and laid the cor
nerstone of the First Unlversallst Church
In the afternoon. It really bordered on
an arduous day, but the President en
Joyed It all and left the city looking
fresh and fit."
How Morning Was Spent.
He was up at 8 o'clock had a bath,
looked over the Portland papers and at 9
o'clock breakfasted with representatives
of labor organisations and a few friends.
Returning to his apartments at 10
o'clock, he remained for 55 minutes re-
celvlng callers.
At 10:55 o'clock he walked across the
street from the Portland Hotel to the
First Unitarian Church for the regular
services. An automobile was in waiting
for him. but he was Impelled by the de
lightful morning to walk. An immense
throng of people had gathered In antici
pation of his appearance, and he was en
thusiastically greeted. There was no ef
fort, however, to get inside the police
lines and crowd about him.
State Officials at Luncheon.
. brief and effective sermon was
- preached by the pastor. Rev. W. G. Eliot.
Jr.. and immediately after the service, at
12.16. the President walked back to his
apartments where he received a few
callers and attended to pressing official
correspondence until 1:0 P. M.. when he
was guest of honor at luncheon in -the
west grill of the hotel. The luncheon
was attended by state elective officers
and a few invited guests.
At 1:10 o'clock he entered an automo
bile and was driven to St. Mary s Acad
emy, where a pretty scene awaited him

LINCOLN. Neb., Oct. S. (Special.)
The University of Nebraska makes it
clear that it does not desire the patron
age of tough, swaggering students.
who are conspicuous more for their
loud clothes and actions than for their
scholastic abilities.
Neither does the University desire
the commonly-known "sissy" students,
who run largely tq plr.k teas, but who
rarely startle the world with their
knowledge or usefulness. -
Chancellor Samuel Avery outlines the
kind of student the faculty most de
sires In a crispy speech. He said the
university intended to have less of
frivolity and more real study and manhood-making.
The chancellor called attention' to
the fact that no poor student had ever
brought discredit upon the university.
He welcomed these earnest boys and
girls who were willing to do any hon
orable work while getting through
school.

WORLD NEEDS JUDAISM
Former Portland Habbl Utters Ti
rade Against Mingling of Races,
Basing Plea on Loss to World
of Jewish Race Thereby.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3. (Special.) Rev.
Dr. Stephen 3. Wise preached this morn
ing at the Free Synagogue in West
Eighty-first street on intermarriage. Dr.
Wise took most emphatic ground against
the Intermarriage of Jews and Christians.
"Intermarriage is not a problem It Is
a fact," he said. "And it is not as
serious as some think. In the Scandi
navian countries, in one out of every
three or four marriages of Jews, it is
an intermarriage with a Christian. Among
the Jews of Germany about one In Ave of
the men marries a Christian and about
one in six of the women. In the United
States the proportion is very much less.
"It has been said that if there were to
be a great increase in these intermar
riages it would eliminate the prejudice
against the Jew. It would do more. It
would eliminate the Jew.
"But my objection is based not merely
on that account, but on fear of the loss
and hurt that would accrue to Christen
dom and to Christianity as a. result.
Christianity usually loses the Christian
In such' a union and almost never gains
the Jew. In marriage there should be a
maximum of oneness, a minimum of dis
similarity and indifference. And then
there is the danger to the children who
are the fruit of intermarriages, the dan
ger - ttJki coroea-Jrom having no fixed
spiritual home neither here nor there.
"I am opposed to the passing of
Judaism. Christianity itself needs this
great spiritual world force which we may
continue to be. I am opposed to Inter
marriage, not because I am anti-Christian,
but because I am pro-Jewish and
also pro-Christian. I respect Christianity;
I honor a Christian and I also favor the
conservatism and maintenance of my own
people." '

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Oct. 3. Arrangements have been

SHOPS ARE T0J3E DOUBLED
Western Pacific to Spend $1,500,
000 In San Francisco.
SACRAMENTO, Cal.. Oct. 3.-Special.)
Reports have been received here to the
effect that the New York office of the
Western Pacific has sent back plans of
the railroad shops to be built in Sacra
mento with instructions to prepare speci
fications for buildings double in size.
The original plans called for an expendi
ture of $750,000. while the proposed shops
under the new scheme will cost $1,600,000.
By spending that much more money
In the local shops it is apparent the
Gould line expects to have no other ex
tensive point for repairs west of Denver.
Further Indication of the move, as ad
vanced by local railroad men. Is that the
Western Pacific contemplates running
lines up and down the state.
