the archbishop here?" He was ansured
tat the archhlsfccp was coming, and
la the meantime Ir. Smith extended a
hnrtt welcome, saying:
-WM.e his grace la comlna. your
honor. I wish, la behalf of Portland
ranch of tha Knights of Colorohus to
emtend a hearty welcome and to as
ure yoa that as Cathoilo cltlsens w
respect yon aa a man and as our Chief
xecatlve more than we can express."
Aa .- friaitA waa speaking. Arch
bishop Christie sppeared and shook
bands with tha President.
-It affords ma very, very much pleas
ure. Indeed." said tha archbishop "to
extend you welcome on behalf of thla
local body and on behalf of all tha
Knights of Columbus. Tha Knlghta or
Columbus In the United States number
nigh to 100.00". and. Mr. President. I
am quite safe In saying to you this
evening that In that body of men you
have your most loyal subjects. 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.
Knlghta of Columbus: I am vary grate
ful to you for this most cordial recep
tion and for tha kindly expressions
that hsve fellen from the lips of tha
archbishop and your presiding officer.
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. TOO. 000
gallona The next crop, however,
amounted to ovrr 10.000. 0fli gallons;
then Kentucky dropped back to :.".
Oon.ooo gallons: then up to .'i.eon.ooo
gallons: then back to :J.ooo.t00 gal
lons: then up to 30.0 l0.0oo gallons, and
In 1904 Kentucky made 2.00.000 gal
lon: In 1107 Kentucky made 18.000.
noo gallons, and then Kentucky dropped
back In lluS to 14.000.000 gallona In
10 Kentucky made 17.000.ooo gallons:
In 110 Kentucky msde 14.500.000 gal
lons, and In 1911 Kentucky made nearly
44.M00 gallons.
During the last six or eight years
the consumption of Kentucky whlskys
has very largely Increased, due to the
bottling In bond law and to the pure
food law. and where normal tax pay
rents in 1J04-10S ran but a little over
Zt). 000. 000 gallons per annum they ran
In '1110 to ll.eoo.ooo gallons and In
1111 to 11.740.000 ga'.lcna.
bo great an Increase In the demand
for a commodity as tias been exper
ienced by the manufacturers of Ken
tucky whlskys Is calculated to develop
extravagant antlc'pat Ions, and these
manufacturers can hardly be blamed
for giving ear to some of the predic
tions thst have been made that the
demand la a few years will amount to

LIBRARY SITE SOLD
John W. Blodgett, Grand Rap
Ids Man, Pays $400,000.
NEW PROPERTY. IS SOUGHT
Association, Immediately After Deal.
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.
