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

' enthusiasm again to the highest pitch.

Lee Qulnn himself was brought for

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

- Members of the Republican Club rose
In their places and. amid cheers, toasted
the advent of the new republic and ex

speaker. Wallace McCamant introduced
a resolution favoring an initiative law

"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

Lincoln lived and bad hla policy of

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,

played as President.

One-Time Candidate for President

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

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.

Merely Scared Annojrer.

619 Poplar street, says he was attacked
last night by two men near Eighth and
Mill street, that one of his waylayers
drew a knife and that the other fired
three shots at him when he took to his
heels. The police believe Boland has
been annoying foreigners living In the
vicinity and that blsuik shots were tired
to frighten him.
The shots aroused the entire neigh
borhood, and although the two men
were watched by many persons as tlie
stood beneath an arc light after the
shooting, no one ventured to accost
them. The men remained there 15
minutes, while excited neighbors tele
phoned for the police. Just before
policemen arrived the men departed.

We could not aford to so strongly
endorse Rexall " 93 " Hair Tonic and
continue to sell it as we do. If we
were not certain that it would do all
we claim it will. Should our enthu
siasm carry us away, and Rexall "93"

to the users, they would lose faith in

quence our business prestige would
suffer.

ly fall out or if you have any scalp
trouble, Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will
promptly eradicate dandruff, stimulate
hair growth and prevent premature
baldness, you may rest assured that we

93 " Hair Tonic gave entire satisfac
tion in ninety-three cases. It has been

ferent from other similar preparations.
