: rieased With the -Exposition. -
f
Far from being the fire ater which
the opposition press throughout the
country had pictured him, Benjamin
Ryan Tillman. - senior United States
senator from South Carolina, la a man
of calmness and slow utterance. At
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Henry
W. Hughes:1124 East Davis street,
yesterday afternoon, he told of the tri
umphs ' of Pemocracy ;n subdued : and
almost reluctant manner. Only when
asked . to talk about President Wilson
did he become enthusiastic and then
he declared no man has more com
pletely the confidence of the American
people than this man of judgment, dig.
ulty and power. . :. , ..-
Much Fleased "With Exposition.
--'"Senatbr .Tillman. Mrs. Tillman and
Mlfcs Tillman arrived Friday evening
from the south. ; They had ' inspected
the Panama-Pacific exposition . in a
leisurely: and titoirough manner after
having coma fromi the east by water
and threaded the -Panama canal. On
i the subject of the exposition the sen
ator was inclined to be voluble, de
claring " that the' Canadian and Cali
fornia exhibits alone are of sufficient
worth to Justify the expense of a trip
across th a continent.
' ' "t didn't? hare much opportunity to
meet people," . explained the senator.
But everyone I did talk politics with
waff Confident President - Wilson has
been 'growing in f strength constantly
, since the ' Interchange ; of diplomatic
notes wittr Germany has been going on.
lie should be reelected next year by a
; larger majority than in 1902.
Ja has shown himself to be a man
Of calmness.' with a definite program i
in mind which he Is working out in a
dignified way. '
I Bees' Progressives la West. V
find the Bepublicans In Oregon
are of a much different type than our
.Republicans back east," continued the
senator. "They are broader, more pro
gressive, have the idea that the party
after all Is merely, a means of secur
ing the best possible government
rather, than aa ant end of itself. Other
" wise, they would not have reelected
f George Chamberlain last fall and would
' not have elected Harry Lane when the
state is so largely Republican.
; "Now, back eaat, v It would have
.taken a : gigantic political upheaval to
allow the election of a Democratic sen
1 ; ator In a rock-ribbed Republican .state.
: It's Just in line, though, with the whole
! I spirit of the west. - The country is
'. ; young and has hardly begun to touch
j- Its native ; resources. ; Oregon Is (.re-.-'inarkably
fortunate oecause it baa Its
i full share of these resources, together
t 1 with' a scenic setting -that cannot be
. s j surpassed. : .
Notes Big Improvements Here. .
' "Portland has. undergone many 1m-
i. provcments ' since I ' was : here ' before.
.That was in 190?, Just, after the San
. i Francisco earthquake and fire. It was
an amusing thing to me then to watch
. the rivalry of Los Angeles. Portland
rand Seattle in struggling to claim all
, ' the Transpacific business lost by the
s 'ruined city - But - Ban . Francisco
- 'tame back' and kept the business the
- other cities -wererfighting -over?; iyy
i After tarrying in Portland for a
Week or ten days the senator and his
i ' family will go to Skagway, Alaska
for a "glimpse of ; the rugged scenery
! -of the Lynn canal. Last year Mr. Till-
i man's - son, accompanying ' Engineer j
' - des. saw this interesting bit of Uni
. ted States and described it so vividly
; , that he fired the cariosity of his sire.
Will Bet urn' to Portland.
"Jm may not : get out this way
; again." Senator' Tillman explained,
"and s I don't ; want to die without
having seen the. best things in my
lative. country, i After we have seen
this region, i we , will come back to
Portland ; for another week or two
i and then go east over -' the Grand
i Trunk.
' . The senator Is now 68 years old.

Marsbfleld. Or,, July 17. A decision
given , by ; Justice C, . Pennock here
In 131 K horn case has caused some anx
iety on the part of .owners -of such
ornaments. -. -sl
Pennock found Jordan- Schapers
guilty of violation of ' the law, and
lined, him $50 for having In his pos
gessioit a pair of Klk horns which it
was shown' had been killed by his dead
brother In . 3 10 ands which were in
Schapers' possession before 1913, when
the present law went into effect.- -
Notwithstanding this, Pennock held
Schapers guilty - because he .; had the
horns. He 'holds that there Is- no
qualifying clause in the law. It is
taken that anyone -- owning elk horn?
la subject to the eame prosecution.
--"Alfred Bayhe gathered 19 pair of old
horns,' claiming he was to , use them
at the Elk's convention In Los An
geles. -C One pair he secured from
Schapers. The state game warden
has ordered - Deputy Game Warden
Thomas, of this -place to ship all the
horns to Portland - .

Aa Apostle of : Sdncatlozu -
Mr. Tillman is a- staunch Demo
crat, Before, that, however, he is an
apostle of ; education, :, . of the . ; doc
trine . that everybody! should be given
a chance. that the ; world owes its
inhabitants the opportunity, : at least,
to take . advantage of the resource
she has ..spread forth.
i That is' why ha j entered politics
In .the- first place away back In
1886. He had come to the conclu
sion that his home , state was not
sufficiently equipped with good
schools of the kind that are of
actual benefit in developing the re
sources of the commonwealth. , - The
first fruits of the agitation he
started -was the founding of the
Clemson Agricultural and ! Mechan
ical college at Fort Hill, John D.
Calhoun's old home. - Such . a , . re
sponsive chord did this -school sound
that the Democrats put him forward
in 1890 . as a candidate for . governor.
He waa elected by a big majority
and reelected in 1892.' His admlnis
tration was featured by - the passage
of the state dispensary law for the
control of the liquor traffic by the
state and -the establishment of an
other college, the Winthrop.' Normal
and Industrial ' School for Women

next in line -for Mr. Tillman, and he
was elected by the legislature over
General Butler after a county-by-
county campaign that t developed Into
one of . the most bitter political
flabts In the history of the south.
. He was reelected in 1891 and 1907
without any opposition at all. and
again In 1913. His term, according
ly, rups until . 1919. -
t, Waa a Parmer Once. ,
.. Senator .Tillman bore the : sobriquet
of . "Pitchfork" during the - volatile
days of free silver in the senate.
This was ' given him partly because
of his agricultural ' pursuits, 'because
Wrwas a farmer before he ma much
of anything else and partly because
of 'his uncompromising stand on po
litical 'questions -that made him one
of the senate's masters of satirical
invective. TiC'.:-''-' i ' '

ber of automobile trips around Port
land during- his visit and plans were
being discussed for an expedition
over ';. the Columbia River highway
