parallel between Taft and Lincoln and
compared the troubles of the civil war,
which Lincoln had to face with tha
numerous issues In national politics
winch at tha preaent tlma huve tha at-
tention of Taft H said:
"fha American peopl are fair
cnbugh to recognli a rood man In a
great place doing- hl duty without fear
or favor. Tha present occupant of tha
presidential ciiair la a truly great man
I might aay th greatest that the
halr haa had during tha laat quarter
or a century. - The American people
recognizing this, should renominate and
re-elect William Howard Tart" 4 .
After concluding his. remark 'Id
eulogy or President Taf t. Governor
Hughea directed hla attention to the
Republican party. He declared that the
party ought to purge Itself of tha un
desirable element In It, ;,-
rieada for lUform.
The governor made a strong plea for
better government. Baying that tble waa
not the time to stand in awe of dis
closures. H reiterated the words of
the president In regard to tha impossi
bility of having an absolutely perfect
party. It la necessary to rid the party
or the dishonest men who are a dis
credit to the people aa well as to the
party of which they are membera.
Speaker Cannon, who waa Invited to
the dinner, sent the following letter:
Tf I could give you a sentiment for
this occasion it would be the patience
of Lincoln and the great and lasting re
sults from the exercise of that rare
quality of human nature, coupled with
sober common sense, in a period of In
tense excitement which James Russell
Lowell describes In these words:
" 'At first he was ao alow that he tired
out all those who see no evidence of
progress except In the blowing up Of
the engines: then he was so fast that
he took the breath away from those who
think there Is no getting on safely while
there , is a spark tof fire under the
boilers.' . .. . .1,-' :'-!,. tv' v
Cannon Urges Kiddle Coarse.
"Tour president and mine, who la with
you tonight Is a. worthy successor of
Lincoln, and he la called upon to ex
ercise aome of the patience that char
acterised Llncoln'a administration, espe
cially In youc great metropolis, where
extremes In advice are always In vl
dence, and particularly at thla " time.
when there are so many illustrating the
conditions described by Mr. ; Lowell
nearly half a century ago. ,
"Here IB a toast to Taft!
"May he continue to disappoint both
extremes, and in patience and soberness
work out the policies of the great ma.
Jorlty of the people who placed this re
sponsibility on him, heeding neither the
demanda of those who want to blow the
engine nor the fears of those who would
have the fire under the boilers put out.
And I have confidence In hla ability to
do If . .v .

SHERMAN EULOGIZES
LINCOLN IN SPEECH
AT GRAND RAPIDS
United Prr-w Leisr Wlr t
Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. 12. At the
Lincoln day dinner here, tonight Vice
President Sherman, In an eloquent eu
logy of the martyred president, said
-"Greatprsldents hava '-come- and
gone; great generals have achieved vic
tories that have moved the world to
praise and thanksgiving; great states
men hava gathered for us fruita of poll-
lies ana uureia or world respect, which
nave given us momentary , pride and
moved us well nigh to national egotism.
But above and beyond all In the proces
sion or the great men of our past his
tory stands Lincoln.
"Lincoln, not seeking greatness, yet
tne greatest or an; Lincoln, tried by fire,
tempted by calls of what seemed hu
manity; Lincoln, the gentle, yet holding
true the course of the ship of state
amid the moat fearful carnage of strife
ever Inflicted, his heart glowing with
sympathy and sorrow and hla gate long
ing for the sight of the olive branch of
peace hid by the tempestuous clouds of

LIJCAL OPTION
IS BRYAN'S PLEA
(By tha International Xews Prvlo.) - ,
Lincoln, Neb. Feb. 12. William X
Bryan has come out for county option
In Nebraska. He takea steps In advance
of this and declares Democracy must di
vorce Itself from the liquor Interests;
because an alliance with the saloon can
generally be regarded as an alliance with
vice. The saloon, he says. Is constantly
used to debauch politics and to prevent
the ; intelligent consideration of public
questions. The liquor, interests, he de
claresf made .themselves odious at the
last session of the Nebraska legislature
by preventing: the submission ,of tha ini
tiative and referendum. Jr ; ; ;
Mr. Bryan's pronouncement will ap
pear as an editorial in the forthcom
ing issue of bis Commoner under the
heading, 'The Liquor Question in Nebraska."

occasion was used aa a vehicla to boost

party, several of the, speaker strain
lng the pages of history to draw from
the life of Lincoln the lesson of party
regularity. , i f
Only one ' speaker touched upon the
dangers of the aggreaslona of organized
capital. This was T. J. Clceton, who
touched s Roosevelt key when he said
that the nation is no longer threatened
by chattel slavery, but needs men of
the character and quality of Lincoln to
remedy by law the dominating Influence
of concentrated ' capital. -. He was re
warded with fair applause, but not In
such volume as greeted former Senator
Charles W. Fulton in extolling party
rule. And no one mentioned the nam
of Roosevelt '
On of th feature of the evening
wa a long letter from George II. Wll
Hams, regretting, his inability to , at
tend the banquet but voicing hla ad
miration of Lincoln and declaring that
Lincoln, In opposing a fusion of Re
publicans In Massachusetts with any
other party except on Republican terms,
afforded an example of party regu
larity. , .

titude of the . granges In opposing the
assembly plan, saying, that they in ef
fect have declared they will' support any
man, no matter who or whet In opposi
tion to an assembly candidate. He
said he 'could not believe that aay con
siderable number of Republicans en
tertain any sum reelings..' . sucn an
Idea, he said, would reduce the party
from orderly aytum to a scramble for
office. -; ;-
The letter from Williams was read by
W. H. Galvanl, who also read tele
grams of regret from Private Secretary
Carpenter for President Taft., another
letter through th medium of a private
secretary from Postmaster General
llltohcock, and personal letters from
Congressmen Ellis and Haw ley. .
Fulton, In' his address, touched on
the necessity of ' political ' parties . and
majority rule.. He said that whetfevef
majority rule Is sacrificed It will carry
the party to ruin as sure as' the sun
rises, After arousing wild applause by
his appeal for "government by the mi
Jorlty, through their representatives,'
he remarked that he was not to make
a political speech and relapsed Into th
topic of his speech. ; :;
Judge Butler and Charles th Carey,
two other speakers, also gave sidewis
boosts for th assembly. , S. C Pier,
president of the Union Republican club.
presided and Introduced , the speakers.
A splendid banquet was served befor
the floodgates of oratory were turned
loose, and the speaking did not begin
until 10 o'clock. , '; v.
Ex-Senator Fulton began by portray
ing the trying situation that confronted
Lincoln In responding to "Lincoln, the
President," cpmparing the situation at
the opening of ills term with that of
Washington at the beginning of th na
tion's : history. Waablngton, he said,
possessed th confidence and veneration
of all the people.1 Lincoln came , to
power with some renown from his ex
traordinary addresses and his debates
with Douglas, but he did not possess
any. considerable experience In public
life, lacked the advantages of close as
sociation with the public 'men of the
time, and only, a few had' any concep
tion of his great ability and fewer still
had confidence in his capacity to pilot
the ship of ; Stat through th . tem
pestuous sea that confronted It .
The " speaker declared that , had u
convention that nominated Lincoln for
seen, what : violence would result from
the election of a Republican president
It would hava named any one of several
others, 'and ' the nation felt reassured
that such men as Seward and Chase
were selected for the cabinet Yet Se-
ward showed hla Incapacity for the
presidency - when, on month arter the
administration had been '- m power, tie
wrote a letter i suggesting that- th
UJnlted States provoke a conflict with
some other nation to distract attention
from the threatened Civil war, It was
Lincoln who rejected the proposal and
prevented a lasting stain on national
honor. , . , t - ' - .
After his diversion on political par
ties, Fulton paid a fine tribute to the
martyred president declaring . that Jils
the. most splendid figure in history,
He compared the fame of Xlncoln to a
comet which brightens as it nears the
un, brightening ever as time wheels
onward, and said that whatever future
history , has In store, no nobler name
will be written than the name of Lin

In the absence of B. F. Mulkey of
Jacksonville, who was to 1 have talked
on "Lincoln, the Statesman," A. C Mars
tera of Roseburg took the subject and
spoke briefly, commending Lincoln for
his devotion to honest Ideals and cen
tralization of government
"Lincoln, th Man," was , treated ky
Thomas 3. Cleeton In an ornate addreia,
He sketched th career of th great
emancipator from the days of humility
and ehill penury to days of power. ; He
declared Lincoln to be inexplicable from
the early setting of his life, and gave an
eloquent summing up of the war presi
dent's sterling qualities of character, ?
Circuit Judge. R. R. Butler of Condon
made the hit of the evening by his elo
quent word picture of 'Lincoln, the.Ora
tor." He drew an illustration from the
addreas at Gettysburg as compared with
th scholarly speech of Edward Everett
on the same occasion. He sounded a
note of "party solidarity" from th ca
reer of Lincoln, and shied an oratorical
brick at those who "play th part of th
wolf In sheep's clothing." .
' Judge Butler caused a . laugh at the
outset at the expense of Judge W. N.1
Gatens, saying he was about to begin
with "Fellow Republicans," but, having
noted the presence of Judge Gatens,
would change and say' "Fellow non
partisans."" - ', A . . ' -

Madame Yelba at Glee
. - . Club Concert
If you attended tha. annual concert
of the University of Oregon Gle club
at th Bungalow last night you listened
with Intense Interest to the contralto
solo sung by the dainty young lady,
whose nam the program told you was
Francis D. Curtis. You wer delighted
when she, Jn th course of her song,
reached a not at least three higher
than hlgn "C." You wer Interested.
but It seemed Strang to you that aha
should be a member of a boys' glee
club and mandolin club. i v
A closer glance at the program and
you found, however, that you had. In

who, through the aid of a good makeup,

him as were th, Salem, Eugene and all
the other ernes wher "tha club haa
given Its performances. , ? ;
Curtis Is a gradute of Portland High
school. While at high school he knew
nothing about his ability to impersonate
the members of the feminine part of
the world and it was not until Pro
fessor Glen, th leader of the gle club,
caught him laughingly taking off a
girl's dress that bis ability In that
line become known. - Sine then it has
been found- out, however, and has been
developed under th dlreotion of Pro
fessor Glen, - - . . ' , , ,
Curtis' act Is now one of the best
on the glee club program. Assisted
by Raphael Geisler of Portland, and
Kenneth Martin of Klamath Falls, he
also helps make up th "Falsetto trio."

by Juvenile Judge K. C. Bronaugh, Ed
Horner, aged U. Fred Samson and Les

living with their parents in Woodstock,

little pie. . i . . . .j - ..
The boys admitted having1 fwice
broken Into tha horn of Mrs. George
Shelby, who lives in the suburb. With
the knowledge that Mrs. Shelby was out ;
of th city, the boys broke Into . her
home several wek ago. They , gorged
themselves with pi and preserves and
wer all ill. : , ,
When Mrs. Shelby discovered the rob
bery and that the evldenoe was -eaten
up, she circulated the report that there
after she would sprinkle rat poison on
all food left in th house during her
absence. . Though they heard the re
port the boys could not resist break
ing Into, th house about a week ago.
Luscious looking plea and cakes lay on
the pantry shelve. - Fred could not re
sist "the -temptation and took a large
mouthful of c&ke. But befor h swal

him on th back and mad htm spit It
