1 1 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, f. WEDNESDAY EVENING; NOVEMBER i, 1908.; 3 ' NEW; MISTRESS OF WHITE HOUSE WOMAN OF MANY GOOD QUALITIES RS.VV. H. TAFT'S "Wife of President-Elect De- scribed as Cultured and Eefined. - No woman wai ever called upon to 'till the difficult and exacting position of mistress of the White House who was better! prepared and equipped for her task than is Mrs. Helen H. Tart, the wife of resident-elect Taft. She Is a woman of culture and refinement and of many accomplishments,, possesses un usual tact social finish and. above all, a 'large measure of sound, common sense.. For a number of years she has lived in Washington as one of the most distinguished women of the official clr cies and the training which she received during that time will undoubtedly prove of great value to her as mistress of the ' wane ouse. Tery Attractive. Personally. Mrs. Taft Is Quite as at tractive as she la from an intellectual point of view. She Is fair, slender and girlish looking and; no one would sus pect from her appearance-that she has ' a son old enough to be In college. She is frank and vivacious, unpretentious, and yet possessed of raarketf dignity of bearing d the self-poise so necessary to a woman in her exalted position. Sho ' is always cordial, a rare accomplish ' ment among society women, and . pos sesses an excellent memory for persons and names, an invaluable gift for. the ' wife of a political leader. The new mistress of the White House was Miss Helen Herron, daughter of the law partner of the late President Haves, when she married William H. Taft in Cincinnati In 1886. She wa a bright and talented girl with a passion ' for music. 'In addition to a good educa- tlon, she received an excellent training In music and through all her life music has ever been her favorite wcreation. She Is not only an accomplished pianist, but possesses.a thorough knowledge of the theory of music and an extensive ac quaintance with the best works of mu sical literature. Hsr Flaoe In Society. ' ' Although, probably, better equipped for a -high social position than most women holding Important positions in . . American ocleJy, .Mrs: Taft .is by no means a typical "society woman." Ever tfince her husband entered official life irt Washington and even before that, twhen he was still holding a Judgeship MOh!o, Mrs. Tart has made it her study and aim to fill to the best of her abil ""ity the position Id society Ho which she 'was entitled by virtue of her husband's official rank. Her natural talent and the Intellectual tralnWg of her girlhood days made the task easier for her and . her inborn tact helped her to avoid the pitfalls so disastrous to inexperienced and but Indifferently equipped women In official society . ' ' , ' Nowhere is the new mistress of the White House seen to greater advantage 'than In, her home circle, the supreme test . for the sterling qualities of any woman, no matter, what her position in society. She is devoted to her husband and her children, takes Intefest in every ' thins pertaining to hep domestio estab lishment and Is considered a model housekeeper. She does hot consider It ' below her dignity to attend to her house hold duties and devotes great personal care to the proper conduct of her do mestic" establishment. No woman in - Washington society ever knew better than Mrs. Tart how to add a wholesome end refreshing domestic charm to.her so ial entertainments. No matter how formal the function may be, Mrs. Taft as the hostess makes all her guests feel that they are received at her home, not In a hotel parlor or a public hall. She ' knows hetter than mest women the se cret of making her guests feel at ease, without vulgarizing the tone dominant of her hospitable board. . Accomplished atuslclaa. i: Of her family and her own affairs Mrs. Taft speaks with well-bred discre tion and sparingly, while she shows re markable skill and tact in drawing out her visitors by manifesting sympathetic Interest in their ntfalrs. Her home, wherever she may be, is always filled with 1 that Intangible charm which rrln-i from the intellectuality; reflne- ; ment and exquisite artistic taste of the 'hostess. Mrs. Taft, like her daughter Helen, now studying at Byrn Mawr, is an Episcopalian, but she is broad minded enough not to allow religious differ ences of a serious nature to arise be- tween her and her husband, who belongs to the Unitarian church, although he - frequently attends services at the Epis copal church with his wife. jlUGHES GRATIFIED OVER BIG VICTORY ' United Pres.

THINKS ORIENT POOR MARKET Tacoma Editor Says Asiatics Eventually Will Be the Only Competitors. .. - t . Frank B. Cole, editor of the West Coast Lumberman of Tapoma, who re cently returned from a trip to the ori ent, upon his return delivered a lecture before the Tacoma chamber of com merce, in which ne dealt extensively with the possibilities of the develop ment of American trade lh China and Japan, Mr! Cole also told many inter esting facts concerning, the customs of the Chinese and kindred races and made valuable observations as to the com mercial development in the Hawaiian islands. In part. Mr. Cole said: "A traveler usually forms quick con clusions. This seems to. be an almost universal weakness of those who visit strange lands. Doubtless many travel ers wish they had seen more and talked less. A well known Indiana senator no doubt would be happy if he had writ ten of Russia's advance after. Instead of before, the war. As I will probably De aeaa ana my wire married again De fore my statements can be disproved. I feel safe in expressing an opinion and even venturing into prophecy. 1 am satisfied that the orient, in so far as we or our children are interested, will be more of a competttor than a customer. Beyond that period, let some unborn merhber of the chamber of commerce prophesy. "China and Japan are the two nations that, in the popular concept, are to be great customers of ours, and that many ships will be going to and fro freighted with our productions. From all I could learn and see, these hopes and dreams are not well founded. On the ship I sailed to, China on, about 3,000 tuns of freight were carried to Japan and l nina, hut on her return voyage she Drougnt tacK about ll.ooo tons. This was an exceptionally lurge returning load, but light cargoes to tile orient are ljo unusual occurrence. ITatives So Wot Buy. "The natives of thos lands are not customers to any great extent of the productions or our country. It t? the Europeans and the Americans living in those lands who demand tho eoods n manufacture. Some dny the lone her alded awakrnlng of the orient mav eome, hut with the awakenine will also come the skill to cater to new-burn needs. "Eery ship that comes from the ori ent brings to this country feed manu factured in the few flour mlll.s In the orient. There Is practically no demand for it In that country, as tattle and horses are seldom seen. In Shanghai a great flouring mill stands idle. It was built at cost of J100. 000. Its promoter committed suicide because of his fut ure to make this plant a success. ".Manchuria' wheat fields this vear are giving an output of 40,000,flOo biish eis, while there will be an increase in Its acreage for next year and then the next year. It .is only a question of a few years when the flour of Puget vund will not be wanted on the other side. There is a great boycott on in China against the Jananese. hut j atfainst our own country seems to have 'run"s course. So acute is the feeling against anything Japanese that even higli C'litnese offirials have difficulty at times In securing the delivery of mail to whirh Japanese stamps are af fixed. 'While I was In Hongkong a mer chant was lined 13.000 for bringing In Japanese goods, and he paid the fine rather than suffer the loss of business that would follow his failure to oby the order -of his fellow craftsmen. Yester day the daily press told of .attacks on merchants In Hongkong and the looting u iiitir mki'ks nereiusi uiey were car rying Japanese goods. Missionaries Are Unpopular. . 'lt IS hard tO find ncorwl wnnl ennlt.. hy Europeans or Americans for the missionaries. The. missionaries know ims antagonistic, spntiment, but accept it as one of the features of their work In talking with many not interested in missionary work, one will find the same general criticism of them ami-thai lu. Kir. jraii mucn or tnis is tinnier evident, out rrom th standpoint of re sults apparent to the ordinary business man and traveler, the work of the nt century does not seemr to have been a success, a am repealing what I heard frequently. In some- cases there exist ed positive antipathy to the' missionary Missionaries, usually have their flnnnnt salaries -inoreafted rW9 for each child born in a family.- What the I actual pa. suits of monetary , encouragement of multiplication is, I cannot sav, but it is allea-ed in: the orient (hut rM. on.n tation is more than the ordinary mi sj t-Minary can rcjist, i is even aMSerted that in cae rflie family tree susoends fruitage, recourse is sometimes had to adoption for revenue only. "All China is now open to missiona ries. The Chinaman would be very glad to see his country not only free of them, but free of all white faces. He wants his own country to himself. He, in the vast majority, has no sympathy with the Christian religion. "Evepywhere one travels in the orient, he runs across the exile the man who looks backward., to Europe or America. His one dream is that he will get back some day. Many of them are employes of large companies, and they count each day off as one less, separating them from a visit back to what they still call home. ; Field-Drisler.
