Although It may ba admitted that if there wera no otner racie man , thoae atated In tha article upon which - to base an opinion. the conclualon : would b correct, yet there are ao many other important facta which ahould be iaidered. It may b emphatically aa , certed that It would ba unbualneaallko for Mr. Harrlman not to build tha Cooa bay Una. "While admitting that freight ratea to Cooa bay and all aouthern Oregon . rltlea will be greatly reduced through water competition, yet the Increaae In bualneaa between all way atationa and '. over 'the extension to the aea would bo ao greatly accelerated, ..

The entire east has been -'plastered over with copies of three' letters which are calculated to ' throw light on the claim that Judge Taft all along was against compromise . with Henator roraKer. Tne claim ac companies these letters that because it was f resiaeni nooseveu wno gave out the alleged Taft letter claimed to . have been written months before Hearst emosad Koraker as a Standara Oil at torney, and because Judge Taft after ; the, alleged writing of the letter refus ing tna .forager compromise publicly appeared with Foraker at Toledo and announced tnat oe and too senator were friends, therefore Taft atanda on Insecure ground in claiming that he was against e oralcer. , X Taft's Xjettas. - The litters are: - Lettfr alleged to hava been written by TaJu July 20, 1907; "My Dear Mr. Vorya I don't care for me preaiaency ir it naa to coma witn oompromtse witn Henator Koraker." Letter from Foraker to Taft written and printed June Is. 10: "Dear Mr. Secretary Although I fear It may do vn welcome and misunder stood, it Is nevertheless my pleasure to avail myself of the privilege to send you heartiest congratulations and wishes for success in November." Letter written by Taft June II and . printed on that date: "Mr Dear Senator I assure you that . your kindly note of congratulation gave ma the greatest of pleasure, and I thank you for It from tna bottom of my heart. I have never ceaaed to remem- oer inat J owe to you my tirat eubei stantial start la public life, and that liT , came without solicitation. with my beat wlrhe, etc." Tbe president said it was a matter Vf common notoriety" that Haskell was onoectAd with Standard Oil: vet It was a matter of record that Foraker waa attorney for the oil truet. Much cajHtal la made in the middle west and the east of the fact that, in asmuch aa the president said thee Sarts were of common notoriety, yet udge Taft appeared with Foraker at Toledo, declared he and tha enater were frienda, and Foraker waa- an ' Bounced to speak and preside over the aatlcnaj cos vent Ion of Republican cluba. It la aiao cited that.
