THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL 18 THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 1918. PORTTANO.: DRECOTI. I - ,1- V 'PORTLAND BEST CITY X' .'jf .'? SAYS A. L MOHLER - DURING STOP HERE 'Railroad Chief. Leaves for the East but Says He Will Not lilGo to Work Yet, BUSINESS IS LIKE STREAM -it yrtmia. Be sad to mr ihttrAi- wy t Torrent ," W Tor : m$t Im of Vnlom ysclflc. r '; r , !A. I Mohler tr not yet ready to go i r bck to work. When he quit the pres ' Idency of the Union Pacific and Ore ' iron 8hort tlne railroads he determined to rest absolutely for at least aix . montha. The six months had not ex pired last night when he pulled out of Portland for the east, and no he de ' clared that he was still resting. !";- . It was with extreme reluctance that the railroad chief left Portland for 'Denver last night. He had been pending- several weeks In shooting and - fishing along his favorite haunts of : 'the lower Columbia river. , i ;: "ForUand Xs Best City." "7 ..j.m coming- hack," he said enthu- 'slastlcally. "For averythtng that . makes life worth living. Portland Is " - the beet city In the United States. ' . When I was here with the O. R. ; K. company the city had only 0,00 people. It has made of Itself a real , ;:. city now and It Is only beginning. If - I had a 1 of extra money, I'd come here and buy property, A: "Disaster cornea quickly, but the good takes Jong to achieve. When the v, ' ' depression came, It hit hard and fast. - ' Portland has long since passed the low : : point. and la on the upturn and with ' the building of ships and the operation ''"' Of ahlps out of the Columbia river, a ..' new and more solid basis Is established ' . which will make of the prosperity com ing a more stable prosperity." Mr. Mohler compared the- fluctua , tlona of business to a stream. "Sometimes the stream runs low, dwindling down to a mere rill. Then tha rains from above come and the snows melt and the stream becomes : ,;' a torrent. It would not be well for the stream always to be a torrent, but ... it Is Just as sure that Portland's Stream will become a big river again as that tha nnows .on the mountain - .peaks will melt and fill the Co ? iumbla." Bast Lengthens Life. , Mr. Mohler said he probably would get back Into harness some time ' but h doesn't have to. By taking the six months' rest he feels that he will be rood for eight or ten years more of the same active life that has characterised the last 45- If he hadn't taken the reat, however, It might be - otherwise, he said. ; He wouloS not aay what plans he . has In mind after the six months' period Is over. ': ''I could go to work any time I . ' wanted to, though," he added. The railroader had excellent luck ' with bis gun and rod, he said, which ' ; he (declared not remarkable, because 1 be has made the outdoors bis . hobby Just as others have made a bobby of olf. 4 . "I couldn't play golf a man can't ' really forget his work 'while he Is ?s at that The lonly object In having aport is to forget That's why I hunt V and fish." .-"V Mr. Mohler Is going from Denver to "' Texas and will wind up in North ; v'; Carolina.

BIG CROWD APPLAUDS AT HANLEY'SUTTE ES Wilson RidiculedWith Slani and Sarcasm and -Hughes Lauded as Wonderful Man, Advertised as the "female edition of Billy Sunday," a reputation which her command of slang- and biting sarcasm enables her to live up to, Mrs. S. B. Hanley of Medf ord drew a crowd which far overtaxed the capacity of 4h Eleventh street theatre last night The crowd alternately laughed and ap plauded a talk In which Mrs. Hanley "panned" the Wilson administration mercilessly and lauded Charles E. Hughes to the sky as a "man whom it would -take a psalm from the Bible to fittingly describe." "I am Just crazy about this man Hughes; he la so grand, so noble, so much of a man." she declared in the course of & eulogy which followed hard on the heels of a denunciation of Woodrow Wilson aa a "wishy-washy who must have been right on all ques tions at some time as be has been on every side of everything that has ever come up." Mrs. Hanley ran the full gamut of Republican campaign arguments, en tertaining ber auditors mightily wltb her snappy way of putting things.

She used tha art of mimicry In picturing- a Wilson supporter as aa apol ogetic squeaky-voiced .sort of person and a Hughes supporter as an erect, full-voiced and very wholesome indi vidual. - , She insisted that the only food leg islation passed by the WU son admin istration are the rural credits and the federal reserve laws, but that these had been ' thought out and prepared by the Republicans In advance, leaving- nothing . but their enactment, which had been forced on the Demo crats by publlo sentiment created by the. Republicans. Child labor legislation, she declared, was urged by Hughes when he was governor of New York nine years ago and was tha pet hobby of Albert J. Beverldge when In the senate. She insisted that the president had forced the law through for merely political purposes. Wilson 74, Hngbes 10. A straw vote taken on No. 19, O-W.
