TARIFF STAND IS UPHELD
Colonel In St. Louis Speech Extols
Republican Commission System.
Opening Campaign He
Scores Antagonists.
ST. LOUIS. Oct 11. Theodore Roose
velt denounced the Democratic party In
New York a an "unholy alliance be
tween W all street and Tammany Hall
. here tonight, and Incurred the enmity
of the Democratic party in Missouri by
calling It "the party that supports spe
cial Interests and privileges."
Colonel Roosevelt also defended the
position of the Republican party on
the tariff. He did not discuss the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law. saying that
he wished the people to look forward
and not backward. He said the party
was united on the doctrine that the
tariff should be such as to equalize the
cost of production here and abroad, and
that it should be regulated by a cora-
He said that, under the present sys
tem it was impossible to obtain satis
factory results, and added when
the commission system was established
there should be Governmental super
vision to determine whether the work
men were getting the benefit thy were
supposed to have from the tariff.
In reference to the tariff. Colonel
Roosevelt said:
"As to the tariff, it seems to me that
the situation is much clearer than some
people would have us believe. I fully
admit that there was a time when, if
our opponents had acted with reason
able wisdom, they could have made us
trouble. But they let the opportunity
slip by and did not act with reasonable
vMom. , .
-The Republican party la united on
the doctrine officially set forth In lta
National programme two years ago,
that the tariff shall be such as to sub
stantially equalize the cost of produc
tion here and abroad. As the cost of
production is mainly labor cost, thU
means primarily that the duty should be
great enough to continue to give to our
laboring men that higher standard of
wage, without whjch there cannot be a
higher standard of living, which pri
marily distinguishes the American
wageworker from the wage-Workers of
all other countries.
Protection Victory Seen.
"Now. not only Is this the doctrine
f the Republican party, but I believe
tt Is the doctrine of the overwhelming
majority of the American people. I
do not believe that any section of the
American people at present seriously
advocates free trade or a tariff for reve
nue only. I most, emphatically do be
lieve that If any such Issue is raised,
there will be an overwhelming deci
sion In favor of the policy of such
measure of protection as that above
outlined.
"Now the question Is how to accom
plish the purpose thus explicitly de
clared. It seema to me. and I think
that more and more tt seems to the
people of this country, that the methods
hitherto obtaining In making all tarlfTs
for a great many years past, are In
effective In correctly and Justly ap
plying the principle as outlined above.
Tariff Commission Wanted.
"We wish to give proper protection
to each given business, and above all, to
the workmen In each given business,
is a matter of right and Justice, and
not as a matter of favor or preference
and above all. not give proper protec
tion as a matter of f.ivor or preference
obtained by log rolling.
"Therefore, we feel that there should
be a tariff commlss'on. composed of im.
partial experts, amply equipped for ob
taining, not merely from the state
ments of interested parties, but by
eui h Investigation as will satisfy them
that the facts are accurate. Information
that will enable Congress in each given
case to establish the measure of pro
tection necessary to carry out the prin
ciples above set forth. "
"Moreover. these Investigations
should form a programme, each suc
cessive report being treated on its mer
its, so that each schedule can be re
vised by itself In accordance with the
facts developed by this commission of
impartial experts, and without any heed
being paid to any other consideration
than the Justice of that particular case.
This will prevent log rolling, and it
will also prevent the lar-reachlng dis
turbance of business which necessarily
comes when all the schedules are re
vised in a lump.
Investigation Is Advocated.
Finally. I th'nk It should be the duty
of some Government body at any time,
to fnvestigate conditions In any par
ticular industry to see whether the
working men do actually get the benefit
that the tariff Is primarily created to
give; that Is. to see that the laborer
gets his full share of the benefit of the
protective tariff in acordance with
what I firmly believe to be the purpose
of the American people.
"By enacting Into law such a policy
as that above outlined, we shall, on
the other hand, do away with the danger
of Injury to American industries which
would follow If they were left wholly
without protection from foreign competi
tion, and on the other hand, would make
It sure that the laboring man gets the
benerit of the tariff primarily enacted in
Ms Interest, do away with the favoritism
and log rolling which under present con
ditional seem inevitable In the process
of tariff making and mske It certain that
the amount of protection granted In each
case Is the amount actually necessary to
cover the difference in the cost of pro
duction here and abroad and not so
exclusive as to represent improper
favoritism to any special group of men."
Speech Opens Campaign.
It was Colonel Roosevelt's first fpeerh
In the present campaign. The great coli
seum was crowded to the doors with a
throng which cheered him frequently.
He began Ms speech by commending
Governor Hadley as "an upright and
fearless public servant."
New York Bonrbons Scored.
"In New York state our opponents
call themselves the Democracy." he said.
-Trey have not the slightest relation to
any historic National party bearing that
same. For in New Tork what calls It
self Democracy consists In reality of an
wnholy alliance between Wall Street and
Tammany Hall It is enough to make
Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee, and Tom
Benton, of Missouri, turn in their graves
to realise ' what the organizations are
that claim to be their spiritual heire ami
representatives at this present day.
"And aa it is In New Tork, ao It la
here In Missouri, the genuine party of
the people, the party that stands for
popular rights, that stands for all the
people. Is the Republican party; and
the party of reaction and of Bourbon
Ism, the party that represents the spe
cial Interests and special privileges. Is
the party that arrogates to itself, for
sooth, the name of Democracy."
Continuing his excoriations of the
New York Democrats. Colonel Roose
velt referred to Murphy as the boss of
the party, who dictated what was to be
done. This, he said, was arranged in
Murphy's room and the candidates
came, "hat in hand," for their orders.
He then referred to "our antagonists"
as the party of all the special inter
ests. He continued:
Party Tactics Jarred.
"A. party that nominates Mr. Bryan
as a radical one year and Mr. Parker
as an ultra-conservative next time,
and then Mr. Bryan again, and then
waits to see if somebody won't carry
an election somewhere so they can
nominate him again that party has
forfeited the right to respect and sup
port of Independent citizens who seri
ously wish well to their native land.
"We have a -coherent policy. We
have had difficulties. We are settling
them, not by a compromise of princi
ples, but by coming together on a plat
form which is one of high principle and
also one of proved efficiency. We ask
you to support us. We ask you to
support us in Missouri as in New York,
because we preach the same doctrine
In Missouri and in New York: because
what I say to you tonight is exactly
what I should say in every state in
this union."
Colonel Roosevelt will leave it I A.
M. tomorrow for Peoria, 111., where he
will speak to the Knights of Columbus.
ROOSEVELT TAKES TRIP
(Continued From First Page.)
bounded forward pver the-grass, as the
guardsmen released it
Colonel Roosevelt gripped the rail
hard and looked straight ahead. The
aeroplane skipped over the field for a
few yards, then lifted its nose Into the
air. rising easily.
Members of the party that had gone
to the field from St. Louis, with the
Colonel began a mad hunt for him.
"Where's Colonel Roosevelt?" they
asked, running up to the guardsmen.
"He's up there." one of the guards
said, pointing to the airship.
Crowd Silent With Fear.
The aeroplane sped quickly around
the field at a height of less than 100
feet. It was th first lap of a mile
and a half before the crowd was con
vinced that it was really Colonel
Roosevelt who was Hoxsey's passen
ger. When the machine swept past the
grand stand the Colonel leaned forward
a bit and waved his hands. The spec
tators were too frightened to call back
to him. and the crowd was silent,
watching the aeroplane with intense
excitement.
The engine crackled and spluttered,
hurling the aeroplane forward at a
speed of nearly a mile a minute, but
from the ground it looked as though
It was traveling comparatively slow. It
sailed so even and smootMy.
At the end of the second lap Hoxsey
dipped his planes and the aeroplane
descended easily, landing as lightly as
a feather a few rods from the grand
stand.
Colonel Wildly Cheered. ,
When the people were convinced that
he had landed safely they cheered
wildly and the guards had all they
could do to keep the crowd from break
ing Into the 'field and sweeping down
upon the Colonel.
Colonel Roosevelt's first act was to
reach for Hoxsey's hand and shake it
vigorously.
"It was great: First-class: it was
the finest experience I ever had." he
declared. . "I wish I could stay up for
an hour, but I haven't the time this
afternoon."
Governor Hadley. with a long sigh
of relief, stepped up to the Colonel and
conducted him to his automobile. They
rode down the field past the cheering
crowd, and then started back ifor St.
Louis.
Walter Brooklns and A. I Welsh,
the latter on an endurance run. fol
lowed the ex-Prcsldent's party In the
aeroplane, while Alfred Le Blanc In Ms
Blerlot monoplane, led the automobile
procession. The aerial escort contin
ued for almost two miles from the avi
ation field.
On the trip to St.. Louis. Colonel
Roosevelt stopped to make a short
speech whare a great crowd had col
lected at the courthouse.
From Clayton the Colonel drove Into
St. Louis and went to the State Fair
grounds, where several thousand school
children were waiting to hear him
speak.
"I have had a great time in St. Louts
today." he said. "It seems to me that
It Is a wide-awake town. It Is the
only place that ever put me up In the
air," and then he told the children of
his flight.
More than 70.000 men are employed on
the flohlnx fleet of Canada.
CHURCH
ASSAILS
FALSE DOCTRINE
Presbytery Objects to Taint
ed Men in Foreign
Missions.
NATIONAL BOARD ATTACKED
Local Branch Demands Definite Ac
tionWordy Dispute Follows and
Minority Report Is Includ
ed in' Measure.
Men of unsound doctrine are not
wanted In the foreign mission field by
the Portland Presbytery and this opin
ion was transmitted yesterday to the
National Presoyterlan Foreign Mission
Board following a lengthy conference
yesterday of the local presbytery In the
Rose City Park Churchr
The question was brought by the re
port of a committee on foreign missions
which held the National Board as
evasive In Its answers to questions In
this connection. Several months ago
the Portland Presbytery sent an in
quiry to the National Board, asking
that men tainted with raise doctrine do
excluded. The board was asked to ex
ert its Influence to prevent such a con
dition. The answer was received and was
read yesterday morning, but it did not
answer the questions asked ana seemea
evasive to the members. The commit
tee on foreign ntlssions recommended
that the answer be returned with the
request that the board make definite
answer.
Rev. C. W. Hays made a strong argu
ment against this action on the grounds
that the local presbyteries ordain the
ministers and are responsible for their
soundness of doctrine and that It was
r.ot the business of the foreign mission
board to inquire into the doctrinal fit
ness of the men sent Into the foreign
field. Rev. William Parsons, of the
Third Presbyterian Church, contended
that the foreign mission hoard should
inquire into the doctrinaff fitness of
missionaries and said that there were
cases where unfit men had been sent
to the foreign field. Rev. Robert Mc
Lean, of Grants Pass, who was a mis
sionary In South America and also In
Porto Rico, declared that the presby
teries could not be trusted to ascertain
the doctrinal fitness of candidates for
the foreign field at the ordination, and
gave Illustrations of men who were un
fit being sent out with the stamp of
approval from the presbyteries. He
held that It was the duty of the foreign
mission board to pass on the theological
as well as physical, mental and moral
fitness of men Intended for the foreign
field. Independent of the presbyteries.
The motion to ask for a more definite
answer from the Foreign Missionary
Board was carried by a large majority.
Rev. C. W. Hays. Rev. E. M. Sharp. Rev.
W. S. Gilbert and several others asked
that their names and negative votes be
rr.s'ie a part of the records of the pres
by cry, which was done.
Kjv. William Parsons, who advocated
the passage of the motion, said that the
action would give Portland Presbytery
a National reputation and' that other
presbyteries had expressed to him sat
isfaction last Summer that Portland
Presbytery had taken this up.
Rev. Otto Hofner. pastor of the
Bethany German Presbyterian Church,
was ordained In the afternoon. Mr.
Hofner was first subjected to an ex
amination In open presbytery as to his
religious and educational qualifications.
He will be installed as pastor of Beth
any Church Sunday, November 13.

ance was larger than usual on the last
day.
Emmett Precinct won the first prize
of $150; Roswell, second, $100, and
Parma, third, $50. The display of fruit
In these preoinct exhibits was an eye
pener even to the Canyon County peo
ple, while Eastern people who visited
the fair were astonished at what they
saw.
Individual farm exhibits and indi
vidual displays of vegetables, grains,
grasses, honey, etc.. made up a. show
such as seldom is gathered In a county
fair anywhere.
Two years ago a building especially
for women's work was erected and this
was filled to Its capacity with art and
needle work.-drawings and water colors,
preserved and canned fruits and speci
mens of the culinary art. This year
a "Merchants' Hall" was erected and in
this the business firms of the city dis
played their wares, dairy and farm
machinery being most prominently dis
played, though one or two department
stores bad artistic exhibits.
A large display of poultry was on
exhibition, nearly 500 birds being
shown. Most of them were high-class
fowls and In good condition for the
season of year. The stock show, which
has always been a strong feature, was
the best In the history of the fair.
In cattle, the feature that attracted
most attention was the herd of Here
fords, owned by George Chandler, of
Baker, Or., that stopped here for exhi
bition on their way to the Boise fair.
His aged bull weighs almost 2600 pounds,
and Is remarkably smooth and well
formed. There was also a good showing
of local Jersey and Polled Angus cattle.
One of the finest herds of Poland China
hogs In the West, owned at Payette, was
shown, while another herd of the blacks
and two of Duroc Jerseys and one of
large Yorkshire made a strong hog show.
While the grounds purchased three
years ago are not yet paid for, the di
rectors of the association are so well
pleased with the results this year that
plans are already under way for a num
ber of new features and a greater fair
next year. A dairy building will be
erected, part of it to be used for apiary
exhibits; new horse stalls built, and much
more comprehensive and liberal premi
ums for horses and other stock offered.

Young Defendants Say They Took

Daughter Host at Party. .
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Oct. 11.
(Special.) "We thought we were going
to, a party that 'Tootsie' was giving,
and we did not know we were stealing,"
was the plea put up by four of the five
children accused by J. II. Vail of rob
bing his store Sunday, and among
whom was his own daughter, Viola. The
children were arraigned this morning
in Justice Court, Vail appearing as
prosecuting witness.
The defendants, none of whom was
more than 12 years of age, disagreed In
their story. Four of them, the Frank
children, three boys and a girl. Insist
ed that the Vail girl had invited them
to a party in the room over the store.
They said they went with her to the
store and . secured the viands for the
"feed" and on her invitation helped pre
pare the spread.
The vail girl denied this, saying they
had suggested it themselves. However,
owing to the youthfulness of all the
accused children. Prosecuting Attorney
Smith recommended that the case be
dismissed, giving as his belief that no
wrong had been Intended. Judge Mc
Klnney then let the little defendants
go. Impressing their wrong with a lec
ture that brought tears and profuse
promises of good behaviour.
