: ory of Roosevelt. t t '
The. yearly love feast gathering of
the .republicans of Jackson county,
the annual banquet of the Lincoln
club, held at tbe Hotel Medford last
night and attended by 300 persons
from all parts of the county, many of
whom were women, was the usual
brilliant gathering with much speech
ttaktaf and music.
Altho the assemblage was gathered
primarily to do honor to the memory
of Lincoln lastenight, the memory
and achievements of Theodore Roose
velt Bhared with those of the great
emancipator president. All breeds
of republicans were present stand
patters and Dull Moosers, reformed
atandpattors and reformed , Bull.
awuuaorn, uu null iciuiuinu uuw w.
both kinds.
a Partisanship Ronipant :
Altho peace has not yet been for
mally declared the fact that fighting
Is ended resulted in more partisan
ship last night than at the two pre
vious banquets, and the brethren took
. off that kicking straps and the. soft
pedal at times to take a fling at the
democratic administration. Notably
was this shown several times dhrlhg'
the address of Judge Wallace Mc
Camant of Portland, the chief orator
of the evening. ........ ...........
There was no modesty either of
speakers and telegrams of congratu
lations in telling of what a wonderful
party the republican party 1sA was
and will continue to be. The banquet
room was no place for democrats. ,
The big dining room was' beauti
fully and patriotically decorated and
over the speaker's table were hung
large photographs of Lincoln and
Koosevelt. Judge McCamant's elo
quent address was devoted to Lin
coln's lite and achievements, and
Colonel H. H. Sargent's masterful re
marks were confined to the life, and
achievements of . Roosevelt; These
were the two main addresses of the
night.-. -.. '
' ... Election of Officers -. ,

democratic: ticket straight."
. Judgo McCamant's Address .
,, In his address, whrcn aroused great
enthusiasm; Judge McCamant . ro
' fdrrcd to Lincoln as the, most illus
trious of the founders of the'repulUU
ah party and spoke of the service
. renUer.ed' by Lincoln In converting
the people, of the west of the free
noli doctrine which was the chief
tauet of the republican party in its
E AT
LOVE FEAST
early history. The spoakeY spoke at
length of Lincoln's clear vision and
courage In the months 'intervening
between his election and his inaugur
ation. A contrast was drawn botween tho
conduct of the war and navy depart
ments under Lincoln with their con
duct under Wilson. A comparison of
Wilson with Lincoln was said to be a
comparison of tho phrase-maker with
tbe orator, the opportunlts with the
constructive statesman and the man
of ability with the prophet.
The speaker referred to the Cop
perhead activities of the democratic
party during the Civil war and con
trasted them with the whole-hearted
loyalty of the republican party In the
world war. He contended that in all
the history of representative govern
ment no opposition party had given
such loyal support to a war as that
given by the republicans in 1917
and 1913.
The speaker also referred to Mr.
Lincoln as a master of the poetry of
oratory, claiming that the Gettysburg
address and the second inaugural
vere from tMa polnt of v(ew th9 fln.
est orations In the English language.
Sargent's Tribute to Roosevelt
' "Theodore Roosevelt was very hu
man, and consequently had some Ira
perfections; but compared to hta
great qualities of courage, forcetul
ness, patriotism and moral force
these Imperfections were so Inflnltes
stmal. that even to mention them
would be like one to point to the
molo.hUls pn both sides of Mount
Shasta in a description of that great
mountain," said Colonel H. H. Sar
gent. , 1
"Courage) was the keynote of his
life. He never feared to do what he
belleved' tobe right and Just. He
always had the courage of his on
vlctlons. 'He was', says Colonel E.
M. House, 'the one virile and coura
geous leader of his generation and
will live in hlBtory as one of our
greatest presidents.'" . . -.
'He was perhaps the most forceful
personality .the world has ever
known. In this respect he surpassed
even Andrew Jackson and Napoleon.
''It was my privilege to be with
Roosevelt a year ago at Princeton
University and to listen to one of his
Intensely interesting speeches. He
spekthen of his great desire to lead
'a division to France and of the grief
the refusal had caused him. He said
id' his forceful woy: 'I wanted to go.
I tried to go, but this Is a very exclu
sive war and I was blackballed, so to
speak.'
'However he sent all his sons and
himself by. speech and pen did bo
much at home to promote war senti
ment, ,to rouse the sentiment of
American people, and to encourage a
virile and robust Americanism.
,-The- war is over and he is dead.
His son Quentin is dead. Roosevelt's
body consecrates the soil of America,
and his son's that of France. Their
fame is immortal and their names
will be associated with the great
world war for all time.

LARGE AUDIENCE
WITH WAR TALES
A largo audlenco at tho Puge last
night was completely captivated by
Irvln S. Cobb, the noted humorist,
Journalist and war correspondent,
now rapidly winning tamo as a lec
turer or platform entertainer, who
told stories about tho great . wur
based on personal experiences and
gave generul comments and recom
mendations based on tho big world
struggle -
' Many In the audience, in tact the
major portion, went to the lecture In
a somewhat doubtful mood, thinking
that Cobb, whose writings are gener
ally admired, like most humorists
and noted writers of the past, would
prove a frost as a lecturer or talker.
However he was an agreeable sur
prise with his homely but likeable
personality, strong voice delicious
humor, southern drawl, genoral
shrewdness and horse sense, com
bined with his ardent Americanism
and ability to express hlmaolt and
easy stage presence despite the fact
that he does not use gestures.
' Speaks as Ho Writes
The secret of Cobb's success as a
lecturer outsldo of his having some
thing to tell and knowing how to tell
It Is the humannoss of the man and
his unostentatiousnosa. He lectures
or talks as he writes, a delightful
mixture of humor, keen wit , and
pathos. He was just Irvln Cobb last
night. ..
It takes an artist to keep an aud
ience In practically continuous laugh
ter while at the same time describing
greweome sights and anecdotes of
war, and all the time Instilling Into
his hearors knowledge worth know
ing and patriotism. His diction was
perfect and a treat in itself, to say
nothing of his splendid perorations
and metaphors.
Cobb uttored the best praise of
the average American soldier as
shown by the work of the American
army in France that has yet been
uttered In Medford,- Illustrating this
by his own personal observations
during several battles on the western
front. He paid especial tribute to
the American negro soldiers and thetr
fighting qualities, and his anecdotes
told In perfect negro dialect con
vulsed the audience with daughter.
Wants Huns Punished
Dwelling on the aftermath since
the armistice was signed, and the
terms of peace now being arranged
Cobb said that while he was not as a
general thing vindictive and had
compassion for a fallen too, but In
view of. Germany's violating all the
rules of civilized warfare and of tbe
horror and cruelties she Inflicted he
hoped that" all these things would be
kept -In mind in drawing up peace
terms in order that the German peo
ple should suffer suitable punish
ment ' :
' With regard to Germany's plea
that the allies send her food Cobb
said he hoped that not an ounce of
grain would be sent into Germany
until every baby In the allied coun
tries had been fed. He condemned
sentimentalists of this country who
advocated sissy treatment towards
Germany by the victors.
Also Cobb condemned - the unpre
paredness of this country for war
and scored the work of noted paci
fists before the war, and said that
we would have been much better off
had we listened to tbe preaching of
preparedness of that great American,
Theodore Roosevelt, whose voice is
now stilled in death. '
; Mr. Cobb was briefly and appropri
ately introduced by Lieutenant Col.
E. B. Kelly. ' .
