THE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDITORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAROH 17, 1010,
TAFT OFF ON A
25.000JLE TRIP
Much Speculation Is Indulged In as
to Nature of AddressesExecu
tive Is to Make Speech in New
York Soon.
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 17.
President Tnft began an eight-day
2500-milo trip Tuesday when he left
Washington for Chicago, and poli
ticians are intensely interested in
tho journey becnuso ho will awing
hack through Now York and make
three speeches in that state, which
just now is in n seriously complicat
ed political situation.
Whether tho president will seek to
pour oil wn tho troubled waters or
come out flatly in favor of the re
forms indorsed by Governor Hughes
-and Senator Root is a subject of
speculation.
The first speech in New York will
be in Rochester and then he will
proceed to Albany, the state capital,
and sceno of the present legislative
inquiry and general political mixup.
In view of the receut open clash
"between tho state Republican organ
ization on one side and Governor
Hughes, Senator1 Root and their fol
lowers on the other, the announce
ment that the president is going to
nter the arena in person arouses
intense interest here.
Taft let it be known that he in
tends to talk politics while he is in
New York and intimated that what
lie will say will be worth recording.
The recent events in the political
situation in New York are looked
upon here as of great national im
portance, especially to the Republi
can organization. "The split in the
party in the Empire state is a seri
ous matter at this time to the con
gressmen who hope to be re-elected
next fall.

Storm of Protest Is Expected When
Negotiations Between Japs and
Rusians Are Completed Masses
Still Bitter.
ST. PETEKSBUltQ, March 17.
that a storm of protest against tho
Russo-Japaneso alliance, hinted at by
the blploruitlsM, is believed certain
to como when tho compoltlou of tho
negotiations aro announced.
Teh foreign office today diplomat
ically evaded any statement regard
ing the actuar negotiations, but un
official dtspat-ihea from Japan de
clare that tho alliance has boon com
pleted. These dispatches havo been suffi
cient to ralso a popular clamor a
gainst tho allianco that shows that
any official x announcement hero Is
cortian to bring troublo for the offi
cers of tho foreign department.
Tho masses of people, still bitter
over their doteat in tho war in tho
Far Bast, and holding a lasting en
mity for tho Japanese are strongly
opposed to any "understanding" be
tween tho two powors.
It is feared that the situation will
bo seized upon by leaders of rovol
t'onary porties to stir up a still fur
ther discontent which may end In a
new rctgn of terror.

THE BOOKLESS MAN.
"The bookless man does not un
derstnnd his own loss. He does not
know the leanness in which his mind
"is kept by want of the food which
he rejects." So also is a bookless
town, a town without a library. Such
a town can suffer its interests in
God's universe to shrink until they
reach no farther than its eyes can
see and its ears can hear. There is
nothing like a public library of good
books to break for men the poor
hobble of everyday sights and
sounds by which men are tethered to
a little worn round.
Medford's citizens will take tho
only sure way to prevent such n
-miserable plight by boosting for the
library. E. F. J. J

The case and convenience with which so
many delicious dishes may he prepared in an
electrical chafing dish make a strong appeal to the
young wife as well as the seasoned housekeeper.
She has found that a chafing dish affords not
only a quick and economical means of preparing
impromptu repasts, hut also that it enables her to
prepare on the dining room table many dishes that supplement and
round out the bill of fare previously prepared on the kitchen stove.
If you do not possess one of these useful articles, or arc using one
of the old style alcohol burners, come in and sec the new General Eleo
, trie chafing dish. No fuel is required, consequently there is no flame;
smoke or soot to guard against. It can he tlscd in any room where an
electric lamp socket is available. It is sanitary, convenient and safe,
It is handsomely designed and finished, and makes an ideal gift.
