COMMITT TARIFF SHOULD BE REVISED mnimnjninmtnnnmtnm:n?mmmmmnutijj; Taft Says Party Must Take Up Matter When Next Presi dent Is Elected. HIS SPEECH AT COLUMBUS Would Follow Work Begun by Roosevelt Receives Great Applnuse. ? Columbus, O, Aug. 21. W H. Taft, secretary of war, tonight made what he was pleased to term his ' political confession of faith" at Me morial hall. Tho auditorium, which has a seating capacity of over 5000 people, was packed to tho doors and several thousand others were unable to gain admittance. Tho Secretary spoke under the auspices of the Buckeye Republican Club, and the address was notable from the fact that it is regarded as the platform upon which he will make his campaign for the Republi can nomination for president. Mr. Taft made no formal an nouncement of his candidacy, but he was Introduced by Governor Harris as the next president of the United States, which was the signal for a prolonged burst of applause. Special Interest was manifested in Secre tary Taft's utterances on tho tariff. He reiterated hls.prevlous declara tion in favor of revision, and declar ed that It would be both unwise and unsafe for the republican party to fall to pledge Itself to revise the Dlngley bill as soon after the presi dent's election as possible. Mr. Taft also declared himself In favor of Imprisonment of Individuals responsible for violations of the anti trust laws and the giving or accept ing of rebates as more effective than fines. His defense of President Roose velt's politics evoked enthusiastic applause. of the music is found and its grateness fully expressed by. j one of the most modern pianos and players combined of them alL THE NEEDAM PLAYER PIANO ESTABLISHED 1854 aa H n !S Points a player purchaser should jj know before buying will be fully it explained to you H P Universal Trackerboard and Music Co with a library of 1 0,000 select-1 ions A piano player is not complete g V JaTlG and 7T nfiGHANlGAL ORI row RtP CHONB tlBJI. Try a Times Want Ad. SUMNER DOINGS. .j. .$..$. .J. .J. $ Sumner, Or., Aug. 22. Seeing Mr. Frank Fay Eddy's communication in yesterday's issue of the Times I would like space in your valuable paper for a reply. I have traveled over the Coos Bay wagon road when the road was by far worse than it is at the present time, and did not call It an exceed ingly rough trip. Of course I did not expect the comforts of a sleep ing car but was well treated all along the line. The road is in better con dition now than It has ever been. The only rough piece of road being down tho Coast Range. Mr. Eddy seems to think that tho stage com pany should keep a fine waiting room and a small "nigger" boy in readi ness to wash his weary feet when ho arrives in Sumner, and also a palace car to bear him over tho one mllo stretch to the boat landing. Mr. Eddy says that it took them one-half hour or more to awaken two sleepy individuals in Sumner. That is not so as the boatmen are always awake as soon as tho stage arrives and are dressed and ready to start as soon as the mail is changed. Mr. Eddy seems to blamo the stage com pany for the fog that settles over our beautiful valley and Bay as he says ho was "borne through the chill fog banks, across the marshes to a damp and uncleanly launch." If Mr. Eddy can blow away tho foe or invent a machine to do so wo will either give him a position or buy one of the machines. He also called the launch Sumner a damp and un cleanly launch". I suppose Mr. Eddy oxpected to find several fine berths aboard tho boat of which he could have his choice. Tho launch Sumner Is open for Inspection at any time. Ho says that they were lost and adrift on tho bay. It happenB that tho launch Sumner has gotten out of tho channel and struck tho mud only two times during the pnst two months and then during tho very foggiest weather. Perhaps Mr. Ed dy can show us some things about navigating when tho fog Is so thick that you can't see forty feet ahead. I think It would bo advisable for Mr. Eddy to hire some Japanese coolies to convey him in a litter over tho road tho next ttmo he comes "Over land via Hoseburg."
