I care not what other body of men shall be presented to you. I am confident of this, that no matter what may beset this country, you may point to the Knights of Columbus as your most devoted sons and supporters. (Applause.) Allow ma a'so to ssv If they were not they would be recreant to their duty as cltlsens snd as sons of the great Catholic Church. Once more. then, on behalf of th Knights of Columbus of tha United States. 1 welcome you." President Taft then aald: "Your Grace. Reverend Archbishop, and members of tha Portland Council.

I think I know what tha Knights oi Columbus are. Yoa ar organised foi tha purpose of giving greater mora' force In tha lives of yourselves and those whom you can Influence to tha principles of the Roman Cathellc Church, and one of tha flrst principles and tenets of that church la reverence for constituted authority. (Great ap plause) But this. Instead of being a reason why you cannot be patriotic, loyal sons of tha United States, willing to yield up your lives. If occasion calls for It the fact. I ssy. that youi are members of the Roman Cathoilo Church la assurance that you ara such patriotic sons. (Great applause.) "You live In a country where all re ligion and religious worship ara free. You live where the state supports no church and where there Is no state church. But I do not have to tell you. as I sometimes hava to tell those abroad who don't understand our sys tem, thst the fact that the Constitution does rot recorntse a state church Is far and away from being an Indication that wa do not favor churches In this country and do not give them the high est encoursgement. and do not feel they are essential to the life and well being of the country. (Applause.) But It Is and I believe that you Catholics, with Protestants, Join In the view that the church which haa no state support on the one hand, and does not have a state officer poking his nose around Into church control on the other. Is much ssore able to flourish like a green bay tree than any church In a country where the state exercises some control and where politics enters Into control, t Applause. ) "It has been my good fortune to get Into touch with the hierarchy of the Catholic Church In the aettlement of questions In the Philippines, the hier archy of thla country and tha hierar chy of other countries, and tha Pope hlmee;f. and therefore I feel aa If I knew Catholicism better than those who nave not had my experience, and as If I knew what shall I call It? the energy and enterprise you can find In a church which lives In a free coun try with no state church, aa compared with the church which Uvea under the shadow of government and must suf fer In soma degree with Ita relations with the government. "In the Philippines wo have had to separata tha church and tha State. There It presents a serious crisis for the church, because tha people of the Philippines have been used to State support of their church, and have been leaning on State support rather than upon themselves to support the. church. The presence of the church In these Is lands la so Important to the standing of the people, and the encouragement of constituted authority and to the whole maintenance of civilisation there that 1 am very hopeful that the prob lem la to be worked out. difficult as It Is. "We must ba patient, because the burden your good religionists have to bear, who have gone out from here to act aa archbishops snd bishops and prleMs. you can hardly realise unless you have talked with them. I know. They have my utmost sympathy In their work. 1 hope they may aucceed. and train their parishioners there to a better understanding of the life of the church, which means a greater burden upon them, and which. If they take It up. wilt make them better cltlsens and better Catholics." (Applause.) WHISKY OF KENTUCKY Production Has Ranged From Sis to Sixty Million Gallon a Year. Bon forts Wine and Spirit Circular. Trade In the Kentucky whlskys waa good In 17. '(0 and 'SI. and had pro duction been held down to 10.000.000 or ll.OOO.noo gallons It would have con tinued good for a number of years. But during the seasons of ISM and 'SI the output In Kentucky amounted to over C0.ooo.onn gallons, and the tre mendous surplus that resulted from so great a manufacture bung over the market for a number of years, and In some rases whlskys were sold for little more than the tax to the Government. After the limitation agreement of ISM we had most excellent trade, and had our distillers kept production down to figures corresponding with what they were taxpaylng, as was dona In Pennsylvania and Maryland, we would have had a long period of prosperity, but with a consumption estimated at only about ll.tno.OOa gallons a year they produced In lKSt SS.000.000 gal lons. In lt.00O.00 gallons. In '11 31. OOO.ao gallons. In '! 11.000.000 gallone and In '11 41.000.000 gallons. Then came the panic of Itll and eery dull trading for several years fol. lowed, ao that In 117 the total pro duction In this state amounted only to .Ttl.OOO gallons. This very limited production was followed by another very limited rrop In 19. amounting In the latter rase to a little? over 11. 00'VOOO gallons. These small crops brought a sort of equilibrium and trade began to Im prove, and In 1S Kentu. kv made 1. 700.000 gallons and In 110 II.

Closes Offer or 9342,000 for Block Between Yamhill, Tay lor, Tenth and Eleventh. John W. Blodgett. a wealthy timber man, of Grands Rapids. Mich., hsa pur chased from the Portland Library As sociation the half block on Stark. Sev enth and Park streets, paying S400.000 cash for the property. The offer was accepted by the directors of tha asso ciation at a meeting held Wednesday. The transaction waa negotiated In be half of Mr. Blodgett by John A. Keat ing, vice-president of the Lumbermen's National Bank. By tha terms of the sale Mr. Blodgett agrees to lease the property to the association for two yeara on a basis of ( per cent on the purchase price knd It will continue to be occu pied by the Public Library during that period. Immediately after closing the deal, the directors of the association made a tender on the Ladd Estate block, bounded by TamhllU Taylor. Tenth and Eleventh streets, agreeing to pay 1341, 00 for the property. In a atatement Issued by W. B. Ayer, president of the association. It waa announced that plana will be prepared at once for a large and elaborate library building. Balldlag Feand Inadequate. "The directors of the association hare realised for some time the present li brary building Is Inadequate for the needs of the public," said Mr. Ayer. "In making our plans for a large struc ture and a close-in location, we had two problems to overcome. One was the sale of the present library property at a price which would enable us to acquire a full block. The other ques tion was that we realised that we should have at least two yeara In which to prepare for and build the new library structure.. The difficul ties were overcome when Mr. Blodgett agreed to pay $400,000 for the half block and to allow ua to occupy the property two years or until auch time aa we could erect the new structure. "The location that we have sefected. In our opinion, ta admirably suited for the new llbrsry. It Is only one block from the Morrison-street carllne and Is close to the business district. The new structure will be modern in every respect and will be large enough to ac commodate the demands of a city much larger than the present else of Port land. We expect to begin on the new atructure as soon ss practicable." Mr. Blodgett has been Interested In Oregon for 2& years and Is one of the largest property owners In the state, possessing timber holdings and other property. This Is his first Investment In Portland resl estste. He Is one of the principal stockholders of the Lum bermens National Bank and Is . Inter ested In the Booth-Kelly Lumber Com pany. Great Faith Jeea la Port 1 as d. Mr. Blodgett haa great- faith In the future of Portland and the Investment In Portland realty was made with a view to the future. Since the Publlo Library will continue to occupy the site for two years. Mr. Blodgett has msde no plans for Improving the half block. It Is situated, however, in the track of Portland's present business growth snd the Improvement will doubtless be of a substantial character. It Is the opinion among realty brok ers that the half block purchased Mr. Blodgett Is worth between S450.000 and 1500.000. By the fact that Mr. Blod gett was able to pay all cash for the property. It Is conceded that this con dition had much to do with the action of the directors of the association In providing Immediate means for- the erection of the new library, and In sell ing the property at an attractive price. Mr. Blodgett haa been In the city the past 10 days, leaving for his home at Grand Rapids yesterday morning. HAMMOND FOUND GUILTY Eleven Men and One Woman Find Verdict In Murder Case. VANCOUVER.
