A Tomorrow morning the President will

At Del Rey. Sanderson and one or two
other places the President made brief
spe.hea to the depot throngs.
The fa?ehn:sh and cactus of the west
ern part of the state gave way as the pa
rade advanced to meiquite bushes and
finally to pasture lands and cotton fields.
The President's train was one of the 14
specials running Into San Antonio ten
minutes apart. Most of the trains were
filled with troops returning to Fort 9am
Houston from duty at the meeting of
President Taft and' President Diaz yes
terday. The President accepted and dedicated
the chapel at Fort Sam Houston tonight In
his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of

who participated were: Bishop Johnson,
of the Episcopal Church: Bishop Forest,
of the Catholic Church: the Rev. Samuel
Marks, and the Rev. J. B. (leaver,
president of the Ministers Association
of San Antonio.
The President took this as a further in
dication of his view, that the churches
are growing closer together, on the com
mon ground of the Fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of man. He alto
complimented the work of the Regular
Vln his speech at Del Rio the President
saia:
"I suppose you are interested in irri
gation. This Western trip has Impreased
me with the need of irrigation. We are
exhausting the land of the East, and
the hlRh price of farm products and
everything of that kind is explained by
the fact that we are using up most of the
land, and unless we can expand our
territory by making that which has here
tofore been a desert useful, we are up
against it."
At Fort Sam Houston the President
said In part:
'I would desire to say that an excep
tional circumstance has contributed to
ward the erection of the Army post here,
and one that speaks wonders to the peo
ple of San Antonio and for the Army of
the United States stationed in this beau
tiful city.
"Visiting here convinces me that the

have been taken into your society.
"The supporters of the Army do not
come quick enough or often enough' to
their defense. They do not defend the
Army of devoted men like they should.
I don't think we can afford to . reduce
the Army at all. Some statesmen see a
threat when the talk is mad"? to Increase
the Army. I will leave it to the people of
San Antonio to say If they fear that the
free institutions of our country are en
dangered by an efficient army of 3X,000."

DRYS HIT TAGGURT
Groom Governor Marshall for
. Democratic Leader.
SALQ0NS ARE DEALT BLOW
Temperance Cause In Indiana Will
Be Advanced, With Democrats
Joining Republicans on
Local Option Issue.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 17.-(Spe-cial.)
Antl-ealoon Democrats' of Indiana
have started a movement to make Gov
ernor Marshall the Democratic leader,
and thus supplant such men as Tom Tag-g-art,
State Senator Fleming, of Fort
Wayne, 'and Crawford Fairbanks, of
Terre Haute. Taggart has been the close
friend and ally of the saloons for years.
Fleming Is a heavy stockholder in a
brewer', and Fairbanks is a brewery
owner.
It was largely through the influence of
these men that the Democrats arrayed
themselves almost solidly against the
local option law In the last session of
the Legislature, and bttt-for the convic
tions of few members of the party
would have secured the repeal of that
statute. The Governor was not in sym
pathy with the effort to repeal the law,
but refused to take any hand In the
fight, saying merely that the Democratic
platform had declared for township. and
ward locaf option, but had not declared
against county local option. Those who
were close to the executive believed that
he would have vetoed the repeal bill had
it. been passed. , but a few Democrats
saved It and the question was not pre
sented to him.
Ever since the Republicans took such
advanded ground against the saloon, be
ginning with the Nicholson law In 1S95
and ending with the enactment of the
local option law at a special session one
vear ago, many Democrats have been in
sympathy with them on this question.
But the one thing that the moral ele
ment in the Democratic party in Indiana
lacked was leadership. On the . other
hand, the wet element was never Inac
tive, and when delegates came to state
conventions or Senators and Representa
tives came to meetings of the Legisla
ture, it usually managed to have a major
ity on the saloon side.
This was the condition of affairs in the
party up to the time that Governor
Hanly ordered the famous raid on Tag
gart's and Lee Sinclair's gambling dens
at French Lick and West Baden.
The confiscation of thousands of dol
lars of gambling devices at TagGart's
resort made a profound impression on
the minds of many Democrats.

GUEST.
GREGORY. Texas. Oct. 17.-Speeial.)--This'i.s a photograph of the n ew ranch house "La Quinta." owned
bv Charles P. Taft, where President Taft will make his headquarters during hla hunting trip in Texas. U
Quinta" is situated three miles from Gregory, Texas. The President expects to find an opportunity here or
en'ertalning a number of close friends, including several members of his Cabinet, --mo will go to Texas to
meet him. The new ranch house is a thoroughly modern 'building, with half a dozen bathrooms, gas,
electrlcltv. etc. The President will occupy a suite of rooms on the second floor. Extensive preparations
have been made by the ranch managers tor a big wildcat hunt and. though tha President hlmsqlf does not
Indulge in shooting to any extent, many of his friends expect to find great sport in hunting the game,
which abounds on the extensive ranch. . ' '
On Broad Acres of Brother Charles'
Estate Much Diversion in Way of
Golf, Hunting and Dinners Is
Arranged for Executive.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. 17. Fol
lowing a day's visit in San Antonio, tjie
President will leave for his brother's
rancli at Corpus Christ! for four days or
rest. Then he will make, In quick suc
cession, stops at Houston and Dallas, on
his way to St. Louis.
On his brother's ranch the President
and members of his party will have an
opportunity to relax after their strenuous
trip. Formalities will be eliminated as
far as possible when the President goes
ranching. On the ranch he is expected
to join In a hunt for wildcats.
He will visit for the fira time the
town of Taft, named in his honor, which
now has a population of 600.
On his long journey from El Paso to
-San Antonio there was ample escort
for Mr. Taft. Notable in this escort
were 100 members of the Interna
tional Club of San Antonio who haye
chartered a special train for the trip to
and from the border. Mr. Taft is an hon
orary president of this organisation, and
so is General Dlax.
The programme at San Antonio i still
subject to slight modifications, although
the feature of the President's visit to the
historic old city will be the acceptance
of the chapel and library, located within
the confines of Fort Sam Houston.' This
building is designed to furnish a place of
recreation for officer and enlisted men
at all times, both on week days and Sun
days. Mondav will be strenuous for Mr.
Taft. He will start the morning with
a review of all the troops at Fort
Sam Houston at 8:30 A. M, Shortly
after this ceremony Is completed, the
President will return to the center1 of
the citv, where he will be presented to
the populace He will be welcomed to
the city by half a dozen speakers.
This ceremony . will be followed with
a noon luncheon, at which the busi
ness and professional men will be the
hosts. At 5:30 o'clock the President will
be the guest of honor at a formal ban
quet. This is expected to consume at
least the two hours preceding Mr. Taft's
departure for his brother s ranch at Cor
pus Christ!.
For months preparations have been un
der way for the reception at the Taft
ranch, near Corpus Christi. In the four
days that he"rema!iu on the great estate
known as "U Quinta". he will have
golfing, hunting, fishing, and a chance
to admire the fine cattle his brother
Charles has down there, which will be
paraded before him by the proud man
agers. Thus for four days the capital of the
United States will temporarily -be lo
cated at Gregory. Texas, one of the small
towns on the Taft property.
His visit there will be broken only on
one day.' when 'he goes to Corpus Christi
to address the delegates of the Inland
Waterways Convention, to speak to the
residents of that city, and probably at
tend an old-fashioned oyster roast. The
people of Corpus Christi will not go
strong on formalities, merely inviting
the President over as a neighbor.
The President will leave his brother's
ranch Friday night, October 22. at .7:30
o'clock, making an easy run to Houston,
where he again starts his "one-night
stands." Houston is to be a brief stop.
He will arrive there at 7:10 A. M., leav
ing at. 10:30 A. M.
The programme at Houston Includes a
breakfast by the prominent business
men, after which the President will make
a public address. Probably all the school
children will be massed at the depot to
welcome him. Many of the residents of
Galveaton will join in the celebration at
Houston. Galveston is but 50 miles dis
tant. From Houston the President is to make
a daylight run, and the probabilities are
that he will make several brief speeches
at some of the larger places before
Dallas, the - North Texas metropolis, is
reached. The Dallas Chamber of Com
merce will send a delegation of 100 busi
ness men to Houston as an escort to
the President while traveling to their
city. The President will reach Dallas
at 5:30 P. M., October 23. A half-hour
later he is to make an address at the
Dallas fairgrounds, which is the home of
the largest state fair in the South. Fol
lowing this address he will be briefly
shown the fairgrounds, and then return
to the city, where a banquet will be
served.
The President will remain In Dallas
over night, leaving for St. Louis October
24 at 8:30 A. M. Dallas will probably be
his last stop in Texas.

HAD QUIT WORK
READY TO GIVE UP IN DESPAIR
Restored to Health By Vinol
- "I was sick, run-down and finally
had to give up work. After trying
a number of remedies and several phy
slclans, I was just about ready to give
up in despair. I saw Vinol ad
vertised and decided to try it,
and It has done more' good for
me than all other means combined. It
has built me up and restored my
strength until I now feel twenty years
younger, and am able to attend to my
work again as usual." Job Jeavons,
1036 Llnd street. Wheeling. W. Va.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
6uch cases is because it contains tonic
iron and all of the strengthening
blood-making and body-building ele
ments' of cod liver oil, but no oil.
Vinol is unexcelled as a strength
creator for old people, delicate children,
weak, run-down persons, and after
sickness and is the best "known rem
edy .for coughs, colds and bronchitis.
We return your money if Vinol fails
to give satisfaction.

During the month of September, for

Not more thsn ten years ago one of

houses of the trade.
Since . establishing ' its business in
Portland there has ' sea rrely been a
month that din not witness a shipment
to Eilrs Piano House of more than
one solid carloHd of Chickerlngs, both
grands and uprights.
The great and almost revolutionary
principles uoon which the big business
of Kilers Piano House was founded
were quick to gain recognition, and to
dav more than seventy per cent or the
piano trade in Oregon and Washington
is conceded to Kilers Piano House.
Before -Kilers Piano House was es
tablished the sale of good pianos wan
restricted and. indeed, wonderfully
limited. The aim of dealers then, as it
is and must of necessity be with a
great many dealers now, was to sell as
few -.131108 iis possible and to secur
on each individual piano sold as high a
profit as could possibly be obtained.
Kilers Piano House methods meant
entirely the reverse, for they made it
possible to furnish high-class planoa
at a price within Ihe reach of a home
of even t lie ordinary Income.
The introduction of carload freight
rates, the employment of the so-called
'harness' method of shipping pianos In
special cars without boxes, which at
f rst was a patented device exclusively
employed, bv Kilers Piano House; tha
grcttipHT .instruments from factories at
first -hand, and the elimination of th
many middlemen and jobbing houses
who at Snn 1'rancisv.o and other places
exacted exorbitant profits and commls-.
sions, as they do in several Instances
todav; the doing away -with all
chicai.ery, trl -kcry and unsavory meth
ods with which the trade was en
cumbered, the estnbllshment of a one- .
price selling policy, meaning one prica,
and tnat the lowest, to each and every
bu er. no more oeing asked and no
les's being accepted, and the dozens of
monev-sp ving facilities employed by
KlU.rs Piano House, all contrived to
help bring about the popularising of
the piano, and made possible the estab
lishment at Portland of the largest
concern of lis kind.
The sales last year of Etlers Plana
House exceeded J5.000.000. and they,
will exceed 13.500,000 this year.
