A I listened to President Taft at the
Armory last night I could not help con
trasting bis remark with hi speech
some five yeara if, from the urn,
flatform. He was Secretary of War at
that time, and hta theme waa the Pan
ama canal. He then displayed the
am logical and analytical powers of
peech at ha 414 last night, having the
faculty of mak!n hie every remark
understood by even the dullest listeners.
In tha fire Intervening years ha has
not changed much In appearance. He
Jooks scarcely any older. Ills eye Is as
bright, his cheeks as rosy, his smile
incrartattng and contagtoua now as
then. His step Is sprightly, with no
evidence of wearlnees; his cares seem
to elt very lightly upon his shoulders.
To say that the President Is a great
and wonderful man would he to make
a statement that history must prove.
We of his friends who have confidence
tn h's ability and Integrity, who believe
that his name will go down In history
aa one of our greateet Presidents, know
that we muat leave the eatimate of hla
works for lafer feneration, for no
rr.an is fully understood, any more than
Ma works, during his life at least dur.
In hta active life.
I have seen all of the presldenta since
frank Pierce, hut I waa but a email
K)r and scarcely remember how ha
looked. I hare a distinct recollection
of tha campaign of 1SS. when Bu
chanan waa elected, and cannot help
contrasting It with the rampalrni of
Ister years. The hard cider flowed like
water around tha polls, and whisky
could ha had for tha asking. And yet
the day of election1 passed off about as
quietly, and tha vote cast waa Just aa
honest, aa under the stringent lawa now
prevailing In Oregon.
One of the slogans of tha campaign
was Ton have poked oe and pierced us
and now you want to buck ua.M While
tha campaigns of those days were In a
great measure seasons of vilification,
they were also seasona of great good
nature among the voters, even as they
were during tha Taft campaign.
Baa Jarfaed la Life.
To show how futile it would be to at
tempt to Judge President Taft now. one
has but to refer to tha campaign of
1 t. and to tha abuse heaped upon
Lincoln, not only during the campaign
but for awry later day of hla life. My
environments were all of tha Demo
cratic order tn those days, and I
Imagined Old Aba waa aa Ignorant
boor, totally unfit tn become the Prea
Ment of a great Nation. Nor did these
views change nntll I waa old enough
to form oplnlona of my own. untram
meled by my surroundings. But none
of us of those days understood Lincoln,
pot even his closest party friends. Wa
did not have tha slightest conception of
Ms wisdom, of tha softness of -his na
ture, of his goodness which waa akin
to Ood'lcesa Hence I do not think any
of na ran wholly understand any of our
Teat men during their activities.
f never saw Lincoln alive. I looked
trnoa his face as ha lay la state In tha
City Kail at New Tork. when there
were bo abuaa and no words of harsh
ness; nothing but lava and grief and
tears. Indeed. It would have gone hard
with anyone during those April days In
there or elsewhere In the country,
kad tha slightest word been said against
the great emancipator.
I want to Waahlngton soon after
Johnson was eworn In. on tha morning
of April IS. lUl. and waa In that city
during tha atrenuotia daya of hla In
cumbency of tha high office of Presi
dent. And It la atranga when wa now
look back at It to see to what lengths
Ms enemies went to curtail his powers.
Perhapa If Pre.ldent Taft ahould re
move one of his Cabinet officers, as
Johnson endeavored to remove Stanton,
and ha should barricade himself In his
office, and Con areas side with tha one
attempted to be removed, there would
civil war In tha country ones again.
Those were parlous times, and Preal
dent Taft ran be thankful that ha haa
not had to stand the fires that Johnaoa
at nod.
And looking bark now. after 4S
years, we all aee that Johnson waa not
the vile being that he waa held up to
be. What he attempted to do with
those who had worn tha gray, as well
as those who set the blue, might have
been done by Lincoln with perfect
safety. But those days were days of
themselves, never to be. let us hope, re
peated In this country.

At the l-nneechment trial of Johnson
It Is said that this or that Senator cast
the crucial vote. But the facta are
often misstated When the name of
Waltman T- Willey. of Wt Virginia,
was called, one of the last on the roll.
Ms vote was the deciding one. and ha
cast It for Johnson. I later came to

Arthur then came In. and It can bs
aid without controversy that ha mads
a safe and ablo President. In many
waye he set a model for ail of those
who came after, for he was a polished
gentleman. He was a bachelor, but
tha functions of the White House were
never mora fittingly observed than
during the term of "Chef Arthur.
vN hen tha next campaign came along
he was a candidate for re-election, and
bout tha moat foolish thing aver dona
by tha party waa to defeat him for
nomination. On tha first ballot he re
ceived IT votes to IS4H for Blalna.
On the fifth ballot Blaine was nomi
nated, receiving Ml. Arthur 207 and
Edmunds 41. And that nomination
Bounded tha death knell of the party
for a time at least, for Cleveland was
sleoted over Blaine.
Perrapa of all of our Presidents none
were misunderstood more than Cleve
land, la' many ways he resembled
Taft la physique. In mental poise. In
breadth of views. But he waa set
down by at least a majority of our peo
ple aa a dogged, headstrong and dis
honest man. No ohe contended that
he gathered any bribes or unfair finan
cial gains himself, but that ha know
ingly allowed Carlisle and others to do
so. And yet It Is now conceded by all
that ha was not only a thoroughly hon
est man. but one of tha ablest, moat
conscientious and nnest patrlota who
ever sat In the Presidential chair. Mr.
Taft wtll ha fortunate Indeed If pos
terity rives him as high tribute as wa
as a Nation now pay to Cleveland.

Cleveland cam In again for four years

And then came Roosevelt for the

He came to the Presidential chair
better equipped than any of hla prede

able one. Some of his decisions while
upon the bench are aimoat classical In
their Inrlstvenets and clearness and
fsirness. He bad been Secretary of
War. and knew well the workings of

When Andy Johnson "swung around

VANCOUVER. Wash, Oct. 11. (Spe
cial.) President Taft arrived In Van
couver at 4:25 o'clock this afternoon,
remained here 15 minutes, delivered an
address about the Panama Canal and
received greetings from 6000 persons
who gathered at the union depot.
John P. Kigglns. Mayor of Vancou
ver, joined the Presidential party at
Kalama. At the depot were Colonel
George K. McGunnegle, commanding
officer of Vancouver Barracks, and a
regiment, of the First Infantry, and
Lloyd Du Bola, president of the Com
mercial Club.
An Interesting feature of the Presi
dent's addreM was tha translation by
Thomas P. Clarke, auperintendent of
the Slate School for the Deaf, of the
entire speech Into the sign language
for the benefit of 125 deaf pupils who
were granted the honor of standing Im
mediately In front of the President.
The First Infantry discoursed music
as the train arrived, and the soldiers
asslted the Vancouver police, led by
John Eecrlst, Chief, and Ira Cresap,
Sheriff. In handling the crowd.
Earlier In the afternoon a reception
committee of three Congressman
Hawley. from Salem; Ralph Williams,
National comJmtteeman, and A. F.
Statter, formerly Assistant United
Statea Treasurer arrived and met
Colonel McGunnegle and other mem
bers of the reception committee. Colo
nel McGunnegle, who Is one of the
Portland reception committee, . accom
panied the party to Portland. The
First Infantry band was given a spe
cial car attached to the rear of the
special train.
The crowd was enlarged by 2000
'schoolchildren from the city schools,
125 from the State School for the Deaf.
200 from the Providence Academy and
40 from the State School for the Blind.
It was the first time any of the blind
pupils had ever heard a President of
the United States speak.
In the Superior Court, where a man
Is on trial for his life, a. recess was
taken that the spectators could hear
the President, and the postoffice was
closed from 4 to 5 o'clock.
As the President's train began to
back up on the sidetrack the crowd,
seeing the President on tho rear of the
last car, began to cheer enthusiastic
ally and many threw their hats Into
the air. President Taft bowed and
smiled his appreciation.
Once before Vancouver greeted a
President of the United States. That
was when President Hayes and Mrs.
Hayes visited tho city In his Adminis
tration, from 1877 to 18S1. Mrs. Jo
sephine Scheule. a pioneer of Vancou
ver tAiliv recAlIed the timet when
President Hayes and Mrs. Hayes drove I
past her home at Eighth and Esther
atreets. where she yet lives.
Colonel McGunnegle. in command of
the First Infantry, resembles President
Taft greatly. . When In Washington,
D. C. recently. Colonel McGunnegle
was walking near the White House and
was stopped by a woman carrying a
baby tn her arms- He was dumfounded
and complimented when the woman
asked for the honor of having him kias
her baby. When asked why he should
do so. the woman asked: "Why. you

He pulled on his gloves as he descend

on Fifth street the President stood
up erd waved his hat to the applauding
multitudes- His smile never left him
Sometimes his face would beam cheer
fully . down upon tho crowds on one
sice of the street while his right hand,
holding his silk hat, waved a greeting
to those on the opposite side.
From tho windows of high buildings
eame shouts of welcome. Tho President
tr.'ed to reach all these with hia smile.
Street urchins Jumped up and down,
clapping their hands and even they did
not fall to attract the Presidential at
tention. At Sixth and Flanders streets a num
ber of women stood on wagons. They
waved handkerchiefs and " shouted:
"Hello, Mr President." He.' doffed his
hat and smiled.
From nearly every window of the 13
story . WeJls-Fargo Building smiling
faces protruded. The President's eye
took in the remarkable spectacle and
with a wide sweep of his hand he
showed his appreciation of the tribute.
At Sixth and Alder streets a crowd of
boys blew. tin whistles and by other ar
tificial means made a noise that al
most drowned the blare of the trum
pets. Women waved flags from every win
dow of the big Meier & Frank build
ing. 'Mr. Taft did note fall to notice
this display of patriotism. The park
In front of the Federal building at
Sixth and Morrison streets was opened
to the public Long before the parade
approached It was . packed with hu
manity that sent up a mighty cheer as
the President passed.
By the time the parade turned from
Morrison Into Tenth street the execu
tive evidently had grown tired of work
ing his arm and head in recognition of
his many greetings, and took a seat.
But he continued to. bow cheerfully.

65 Years Young
Does a Harder Day's Work Than
Ever After Stomach Trouble
Vanished.
Read this Interesting letter:
"I suffered many years with In
digestion and rheumatism and tried
many home remedies, patent medicines,
and doctor's prescriptions, but would
only get relief.
I have friends who were cured of
stomach trouble by MI-O-NA tablets
and this Induced me to try them. I
bought a box at the Hoag Drug Store,
and after a few days, I noticed a big
Improvement In my condition; my food
would not sour on my stomach or bloat
me; the stiffness seemed to leave my
Joints, and made me unconsciously step
lively. My friends all spoke of how well
I was looking.
I bought three more boxes of MI-O-NA
tablets and took them exactly as direct
ed, and I can truly say that they have
made a robust young man of .me. I am
6B years old, and can now do a harder
day's work than in my younger days.
I hope you wll publish this letter, so
others who suffer as I have can also be
benefited." W. S. Sneed. 1229 N. Mis

DISTRESSING CASE
OF HIVES CURED
Body Covered with Large Red Marks.
Face Also Affected. Cuticura
Ointment Eased Skin Right
Away and Completely Cured.
"I retired one evening and after sleeping
a couple of hours was awakened by a burning
sensation all over the upper part of my body.
It was just simply temoie
and made it impossible for
me to sleep the rest of that
night, so I had to sit up all
night changing my position
every couple of minutes.
As the hours went by it
grew worse and soon I
started to scratch myself.
When daylight arrived I
saw that my body was
covered with large red
marks about an inch or two apart. My
face was also affected. I stayed home that
day and went to see a doctor. He told me
that I must have eaten something poison
ous, and I had the hives. He prescribed a
medicine and also gave me some ointment.
" As the days went by I steadily grew worse,
the marks changing from one part of my body
to another. Tho medicine and ointment were
of no use, and I felt greatly disappointed
until one evening by chance looking over the
papers I saw the Cuticura Remedies adver
tised. I immediately procured some Cuticura
Ointment and applied it to my body. I could
hardly believe it, but it seemed to ease my
skin right away. I kept on using the Cuticura
Ointment for a week and can say that it
certainly was the finest preparation I had
ever used. It completely cured me, and I
have not been troubled since-" (Signed)
