Nat Americans. He Asserts. , , Former President William Howard Tali,' who, was enroute from Portland to San Franclaco, during the train top at the Southern Pacific depot at : 20 o'clock Tuesday afternoon ap peared on the platform of his coach to greet the assembled crowd, ban tered the assemblage for a moment or two and then launched Into an earnest tire minutes address, briefly setting . forth the League of Nations peace plan and the benefits to mankind that would result there from, dwelt on the horrors of war and the scientific progress fast being made In the art of destroying human lire by the wholesale, and pleaded with the people of Medford to study ttrto the plan and give It their united support. . The crowd that warmly greeted the former president was smalt toiri lHrntielyrnot numbering over 300. including the train passengers, as no notice had been given that he was to pass thru tho city and only a few cit iaens knew of the coming of the dls- Ana until be began ms speecn those assembled did not know wheth er or not Mr. Tatt was kidding them. Ie was in excellent humor. - Asks About Ruin fia. this Medford." Jocularly In quired the former president as he stepped out on the platform amid ap plause,: with his well known smile. He was assured unanimously that it was the very self-same old town. "Yes, well do you still maTte riim here?" This sally went over the heads of .the assembled Lincoln club, few realizing that -Mr. Taft was making a play upon the fact that Medford, Mass., was years ago fa mous as a rum-making. and rum-shipping point. '. .. . ' "1 say, do you make rum here?" repeated Mr. Taft. . -r "No, we get it at Hornbrook over the California line," several persons answered, thinking that the ex-president was really after InformaMon- r Then in response to - urgent re quests for a speech Mr. Taft said: I made my speech back there a stop or two at what was the name of that town now?" . : . .. , . Joshes With Crowd '" ."Grants Pass," queried the crowd in unison. , . .'''.-. . "I really don't know" Mr. Taft as serted while there were also shouts of Roseburg and Eugene, and again a chorus shout ot "Grants Pass." "Is that where Flannigan lives?" suddenly and anxiously inquired Mr. Taft. - The crowd did not know who Flan nigan was but shouted back a chorus of "Yea." "But Flannigan's sister lives here" titiotited hack several of onr brightest citizens, and then followed a united chorus of "Give us a speech. Dropping his banter and becoming serious, tremendously serious ' and grave Mr. Taft launched forth into his rapid fire informal speech, wuico was a gem in its common sense and lofty statements and pleading. -' It briefly; set forth the needs of the world plan to enforce peace and the .necessity of stopping warfare, i i Pleads for League i -' In speaking of the horrors of the world war and the scientific progress in wholesale killing inventions Mr. Taft said that in the next great war a poisonous gas would be invented that could kill whole communities or districts at a time. VYou who oppose the League -of Nations, are partisans, not Amer icans. Be big enough and'" broad enough and American enough, to foe-, got partisanship and stand for the welfare ot America and of humanity urged Mr. Taft. He made It plain that the league's plan was a non-partisan one, -'-and pointed out that the United. States was the greatest nation of the world and should assume the responsibil ities and burdens ot that position now that , we entered actively - Into world affairs; a position into which we had been forced. "Shall wo assume our new bur dens In the world's affairs or return to our policy ot Isolation, grow fat and lazy, and be forced again active ly Into world affairs as we were be- : .fore. . "We had better take this league of nations plart br we will he-forced to take something which will be much worse.: A stitch In time saves nfne .' ' Mr,' Taft praised the good work President Wilson has been doing in , bohalf of the league of nations plan uhd said that we should stand unit edly by him In the great effort. He : also urged that we wake up and get busy In urging our senators and con gressmen to stand by the league of nations idea when it Is embodied in the peace terms and comes before congress for ratification. --Mr. Taft talked until the train started to pull out and retired into his car amid the cheers and applause of his hearers. He shook hands with all-who approached as long as it was iN WELCOME TO B0VS0ETHE65TH Medford was conspicuously on the Portland nnd Oreiron man Mondav durinc the wcloouiitur celebration -in honor of the't)5th artillery with 25 of her stalwart sons of UiiU famous command mnrcbinir with the organiza tion m tho unrnde. her mayor imxroh- inc nt the head of the pnrude with Colonel Kerfoot. commander of the 05th, and Mayor Baker of Portland. and" with Mrs. Gates ridine incog nito at the extreme bead of the pro cession with the chief of police of the stato metropolis. , "It was a magnificent home coming to. the state for the Orecon bovs of the 65th," said Mnvor C. E. Gate9 who with Mrs. Gates arrived home from Portland this morning. "There arc only 25 of the Medford and Jackson county bovs of the 3.1 who went orisinallv to France with the 65th with that command now. the others having been either sent to their homes elsewhere from Camp Dix. or having been transwerred dur ing the war into other organizations. Our bovs are nlll well, fat nnd happy at the prospects of soon getting home. Two Weeks to Walt "As near as I ran learn it will be two "Weeks vet before the 65th is de mobilize! at Cnmp Lewis and the bovs can come home. . f?'Thcv nro brimming over witli their wonderful experiences in Frnnco and with the bie receptions nnd honors the 65th has encountered since arriving in this country. It was difficult nt Portland to draw from their talk on their war experiences, ns there was so mucVcoine on in connection with the celebration. I talked briefly with nil the boys. We probably can't get much out of them about their part in the wsr-'nntil they have arrived home and settled down ngain to humdrum civil life. 'I shall never forget that wonder ful scene when the regiment arrived in the Portland depot and relatives from "nil over Oregon clasped their ioved ones. It would wring tears from the eves of the most hardened to see those mothers and soldier sons clinch and kiss and bane on. It was a. sight, too. to see the boys and their eirls meet. Such kissing and hugging in public, and oblivious to the crowd of thousands. It "was worth go:ng miles to see. - 1 'Two of the 65th soldiers were without relatives and friends nnd felt rather desolnte nnd overcome with the sight of the many loving reunions. ?iB.als-POft-Of them said to his com rade in unfortunate environment: Well, old sweetheart, we'll have to love each other.' And then thev went to it with kisses and bugs." . .;:,' Parents Surprised ' Mayor and Mrs. Gates hai tho sur prise of their lives not only to see their son. Sergeant George Gates, with a heavy French mustache, but also wearing a military cap or hat of French invention. Several months ago he wrote to them that he was growing a mustache and declared he would bring it home with him. He kept the pledge, but now tbnt he has made eood so far he' will probably have the hirsute apendage shaved off at Camp Lewis, as it is figured that he would never have- the nerve to show up in Medford wearing such a thing. A number of the other Medford boys of the 65th also had similar mustaches which thev intended to spring at home, but losing their nerve WAS AFRAID TO GO ON TOP OF HOUSE Painter Was So Weak Could Hardly Walk Gains Twenty Pounds by Taking Tan lac . "I will cheerfully ten anyone, who Is looking for something to build them up, that Tanlac certainly brought me out of the kinks," was) the characteristic statement made by John A. Meyers, house painter and decorator ot Iteardan, Washington, while In Murglttroyd's at Spokano, recently. "I can't say that I suffered any particular pain," he continued, "I Just had no appetite and got into a terribly run-down- condition. I be lieve I could have gone a week with out feeling hungry. What little I did eat was forced down and seemed to do me no good, as I lost weight and strength all the time. I had got ten down to almost skin and bones and was so weak that I was actually afraid to go up on a house to paint. My energy all left me and I had got ten to where I couldn't hold out to do a whole day's work. "I -had read about Tanlac being fine lor people In a run-down condi tion, and I now know for myself, for it has put me in shape to where I have already gained twenty pounds. And speaking of appetites, I've got the best one I ever had. Meal times come too slowfor me and when they do get around I hardly know when to quit eating. I have gotten my strength and energy back, too, .and now I can do as much work as any man my ago. I had been losing ground two or three years and noth ing ever hit the spot until rgot Tnn lac, ao It certainly Is the medicine for me." ' Tanlac Is sold in Medford by West Side Pharmacy, in Gold Hill by M. I). Bowers, in Central Point by Miss M. A, Mee, in Ashland by J. J. McNalr. I hoy bad them shaved off tit Ctuup Dix. . Immediately after the reroption of relatives at the depot the 'Parade started and Mnvor Gales tit the in sistence of Mnvor linker nnd Colonel Kerfoot consented to march with them nt the head. In the meantime Mrs. Gates hud been Kt in the crowd from her im.ibnnd. Mayor Gates, who hap pened to know the Portland chief of police asked him to find her and look out for until niter the parade. Not only did tho oli'cf find Mrs, Gates but bo took her into his auto which led the nnrndo.
