I The name of Theodore Roownlt fell Into the background under the enthu , !ra that a message from President , Taft brought forth, at the Lincoln ban , quel atven by the Republican Club at ' toe Multnomah Hotrl last ntjrbt. The applause for Taft swallowed up that for Koosevtlt so thoroughly that It was only after repeated proposals that a , toast was riven for the ex-president. Taft's lter regretting that he could sot be present at the banquet and wish ing; success to the Republican Club, of which he Is an honorary member, was followed by a standing toast and a burst of cheering that fairly made the chandeliers tremble. C. A. Lock wood followed the reading of Taft's letter with a similar 01 from Colonel Rooae ' veil. "Roosevelt! Hurrah!" cried several su-afterlng roles, and In an Instant , C. W.

A pandemonium of cheerins followed. and. finally. In a long pause that suc ceeded It. l'r. IL W. Co proposed three , cheers for Roosevelt. Hisses were , heard In some parts of the ball, and after an Instant of hesitation the men I rose to their feet and save the three - cheers. i A second sensation, which brought ' enthusiasm again to the highest pitch. ' was the announcement of the birth of a new republic in China, and the re- eetpt of m message of greeting from the Toung China Association of Port land. t blares Ckildrea Appear. ' George L. Baker made the announce ment unexpectedly, as the toastmaster was preparing to call on the first ; speaker of the evening, and Instantly after he finished his announcement a group of Chinese school children psssed through the banquet room distributing among the guests copies of the procla- I xnatlon of the Republic of China, printed In patriotic red. whit and blue ; under the auspices of ths Young China ' Association of Portland. "The United States of China sends greeting to the United 8tates read a message handed to the toastmaster. "and begs to offer a toast to the greet emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. (Signed) Lee Qulnn. president of the Young China Association, for Dr. Sun Tat Ben. President of the United States of China." Lee Qulnn himself was brought for ward and Introduced to ths guests, who clamored vigorously for a speech. "All I can say. gentlemen." he said, extending his bands toward them, "is that I hope our Republic in China may take Its model from your great re public" w Hepatite CbeeredU - Members of the Republican Club rose In their places and. amid cheers, toasted the advent of the new republic and ex pressed their hopes for Its future great ness and success. Judge Uelvln C George, president of the Republican club, with a short ad ore a announcing the purpose of the gathering to commemorate properly the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, in troduced the toastmaster of the even ing. Colonel James Jackson. Before Colonel Jackson Introduced the first speaker. Wallace McCamant introduced a resolution favoring an initiative law making Lincoln's birthday a legal holi day in Oregon, as It already is In many other states, and a rising vote unani mously adopted the resolution. Charles W. Fulton. In his address on "Abraham Lincoln." declared that cele brations of the birthdays of such great National characters should not be con. lined to ths membership of any on I arty. , Liacela la Extolled. "We derive our greatness, not from the heroes of a party, but from those who are the heroes of a nation. No one political party can claim as its sole heritage the lives and the achievements of ths Nation's great men. True, the Xxmocrata may wsll be proud of Andrew Jackson, and es pecially so because User are so few things In the history of our country of which they can be proud. (Laugh ter). But. after all. these men who have been the moving forcea In the building of our great Nation ar not the property of any party but of the people as a whole." Rev. John H. .Boyd, telling of the hardships experienced In the South during the period of the reconstruc tion, many of ths scenea of which he wttneased. declared that the 8outh would today return cat every election a substantial Republican majority, bad Lincoln lived and bad hla policy of reconstruction been carried out. C. A. Johns, of Baker, touched flrst en local political conditions following a speech by B. F. Mulkey. on "Lin coln as a Statesman." II decried the situation that had com In the state as a result, hs said, of ths misapplica tion of the Oregon system of legisla tion. Life as Lawyer Reewaated. Speaking on "Lincoln as a Lawyer." John II- McNary pointed out that Lin coln's liking for tti law was early demonstrated In the Interest he took in law books while yet a young man. Mr. McNary recalled that It was the perusal of a copy of the revised stat utes of Indiana that first awakened Lincoln's Interest In the profession of the lsw. It wss not. however, any thing that Lincoln did as a lawyer that endeared him to the American people, the spesker said, although he had the same qualities that ho afterwards dis played as President. Heewgalttoa of Cklaa Asked. At the close of Mr. McXary's ad drees a resolution was presented asking that the Oregon delegation in Congress be asked to use its efforts to procure speedy recognition by this country of the tndependenec of the United States ef China.

"It Is natural and It Is th rule that with most people ss time passes by ths memory of them fsdes away and we forget them; but there a few men. and Lincoln was one of them, whose fame grows steadily with the years. It Is Inspiring to think of all the trials with which he had to contend and which he overcame. The greatest trslt of his character was his sublime patience. No word of censure ever passed his Hps, no cruel words against his enemies. It has been so well said that Lincoln be lieved that our Government was worth preserving. He gave his time and his life that the Union might be preserved and. acting nnder his guidance, thou sands and thousands of American men went dowa to death to ssv this Na tion."

Prohibition Leader Says Issue Is Gaining. CHILDREN ARE ADDRESSED One-Time Candidate for President Will Spend 30 Days Speaking- In Oregon Problem Will Be Slot Squarely, lie Says. "Never before In the history of the country was the time more opportune for making converts to the cause of prohibition than today," said Eugene W. Chsfln. of Chicago. Prohibitionist candidate for President in ISO 8. at the Perkins yetserday. "Th people have seen th utter usolessness of local op tion as a means of treating with the liquor question and are now coming to se our way of destroying the liquor business. "Th recent decision of the I'nited States Supreme Court, declaring liquor to be a commodity for purposes of transportation from on state into in other, in effect denies to every state th right to reg-ulat th shipment of liquor Into its borders from any other state. Our only remedy under this ruling In fighting the liquor traffic is to elect our own lawmakers and take our flgbt direct to Washington. Caaspalga OrgaaJsed Harly. "Never before this early in a Na tional campaign has the Prohibition party been better organised or had more workers In th field. "W ar naturally looking for some man as our Presidential nominee who may decide to leave on of the old par ties, having satisfied himself that the reform w advocate Is never to be gained through his party organisa tion. There ar such men In both the Republican and Democratic parties. For Instance. Oovernor Glenn, Demo crat, of North Carolina, is a Prohibi tionist, but he can never hope to bring about the destruction of the liquor traffic through his party." Mr. Chann yesterday addressed over 1000 high school students, speaking st each of th three high schools. He also spoke before th Ministerial Associa tion at th Y. C C. A. and delivered two lecture at th Taylor-street Meth odist Church, making six addresses In on dsy. Th subject of his -lecture last night wsa "Government by Politi cal Parties." Pradeats Hear Address. "My reception by the high school students today wss the most satisfying I ever experienced," said Mr. Chatin, after making his third talk at the Washington High School. "Th num ber of young people addressed was not only the grestest I ever appeared be fore in on day. but their attention waa especially marked and courteous. In speaking to these students I took up the question of public health and discussed the subject under the heads of consumption and drunkenness. These two diseases take away more human Uvea annually than any other two dis eases or scourges. Every year 100,000 persons die of consumption, while drunkenness claims the lives of 150,000 souls. "I then showed the effect of alcohol on the human system, treating this part of the subject entirely from a scientific standpoint. I waa formerly superintendent of the Washlngtonlan Home, in Chicago, and for some-time had over 8000 drunkards under my rare. This ga me every opportunity to make a study of alcohol and Its aw ful toll on human life." Mr. Chafin is a well-preserved man of CO years and has remarkable en durance as a public speaker. In his campaign for the Presidency In 1908 he made 600 addresses in 10S days and traveled from Portland. Me., to this city. He is now devoting 30 days to the causo of prohibition In Oregon and delivers from one to six adrdesses every day. Mr. Chafin will speak at Hlllsboro to ay sod at Saiaia tomorrow.

PROTEST BLOCKS ACTION WO PROGRESS MADE OX FI.YIXG STREETCAR FRANCHISES Properly Owner on Seventh Street Object lo Double Track Pro vision Which Is Asked. When officials of the Portland Rail way. Light & Power Company asked the street committee of the City Council yesterday to include In a general fran chise covering 40 streets a clause pro viding for a double track on Seventh street from the Broadway bridge to Morrison street and a single track from Morrison to Jefferson, there was a storm of protest from Seventh-street property owners, which resulted in the committee adjourning for a week with out making any progress In the fran chise controversy which has been go ing on for about four months, and which is holding up a large number of extensions proposed by the railway company. The request for the Seventh-street franchise was Introduced by Vice-President Fuller, of the company, who de clared that the proposal is the last to be made by the company on Seventh stret. ' "If the city does not want to accept this proposition, the only other thing we will accept Is to throw out of th general franchise all requests for Seventh-street franchises," said Mr. Fuller. This was followed by a storm of re proach from J. B. Laber. J. C. Beck and J. C Friendly, representing the Seventh Street Property Owners Association The Seventh-street franchise has been one of the main controversies. At first the railway company asked for a fran chise on that street from the Broadway bridge to Morrison street and refused to consider meeting the demands of the property owncs. who insisted that the double track continue from Morrison to Jefferson. The whole proposition was threshed out 'before the commit tee and a vote was taken to force the company to take a franchise from the Broadway bridge to Jefferson Street or none at all. The request for a single track right from Morrison to Jefferson Is consid ered an attempt to counteract this ac tlon. Objection is made to th proposi tlon on the ground that no provision is made for the schedule of cars to be operated and also because there is de mand for a double track between Mor rlson and Jefferson. J. B. Laber. a Seventh-street prop erty owner, declared, that the railway company did not want to act fairly in the proposition, wishing to take In the franchise only what met the company's selfish desires and turning down th rest. J. C Beck classed the company as a child that has always been able to get what it wanted without trouble and which stands In the corner and cries when It is refused something it wants. Words were getting hot be tween the property owners on one side and Vice-President Fuller on the other when Chairman Baker of the commit tee pounded for order' and postponed further consideration for a week, dur ing which time the company and the property owners will be given a chance to get together. The Seventh-street proposition may result In the railway company refus lng to accept the blanket franchise. In asmuch as it is the announced Inten tion of members of the committee to require the company to tike the blan ket franchise or none of It. EX - POLICEMAN CANDIDATE T. J.
