PORTLAND. June |. - Portland
formally and officially opened her
second annual Rose Festival at high
noon today with the welcome 10 Rex
tbrcgonps the King, whose royal
fcntry into the city was heralded by
the booming OF salute from the
guns OF the cruiser Charleston and
the gunboat Yorktown, now in the
harbor. The salute was Immediately
taken up by myriads Of shrieking
whistles from craft in the harbor
from mills, factories and other plants
along shore, from ships bells, and
other din-producing paraphernalia,
Upon the formation OF the royal
procession at the Stark street slip,
where Rex FIRST set foot on Portlands
hospitabic shores, there was a blare
from a squad OF trumpeters, and there
was much shouting and applause from
the throngs OF spectators who had
gathered at the City Wharf to bid the
King welcome.
Rex was arrayed in all the regalia
and war paint that any jolly mon
y arch OF any mythical realm, such as he
reigns over, might desire, He was at
tended by Lord High Chamberlain
in the person OF Max Micker, though
his own majestic identity will stand
unrevealcd for the next five days.
Two royal pages also attended his
majesty They were Herbert Barren
stecher and Harold Mayer, two fine
built lads Of Is, also attired in fitting
costume, They are the sons Of Chas
Barenstecher and Alexander Mayer,
respectively. No time was lost in
getting the royal cavalcade under
way, with the following formation:
Platoon Of Police
Picked Band of 50 Pieces
Three Companies OF Cadets From
the Hill Military Academy.
Rex Oregonus, Mounted on the Ken
lucky Thoroughbred Rex
Mcdonald, Jr
Royal Encourage, Mounted.
Portland Hunt Club, Mounted on
Decorated Horses.
Rex was mounted on the handsome
Kentucky thoroughbred, Rex Nc.
Mcdonald, Jr,, and the fancy charger
was decked up in rich and gorgeous
hued trappings, When all was ready
the king raised his scepter, the sig
nal for the procession to begin its
journey. The parade passed up Stark
street between lines OF humanity on
both sides OF the street, At Sixth
the procession turned southwark,
moving out to Yamhill, thence down
to Fourth street, south to the City
Hall, where a short halt was made.
With brief but impressive cere-
monies, Mayor Lane turned the keys
OF the city over to Lord High Cham
berlain, and with flourish the caval-
cade moved on, counter-marching on
Fourth to Alder, out Alder to Park
street, where the parade disappeared

There will be no looke-warm en-

platform Should the convention

Of acceptance will contain his pledge

already inaugurated, and to earnestly

"A Strong Republican protest

The letter President Roosevelt
wrote a Montana man, in which he
youched for Judge Taft, has had
the opposite Of the effect intended.
Mr.. Bryan's reply was convincing and
made clear the fact that Judge
Taft should speak for himself, II
he expects to be considered serious

ABOUT ADVER7Is1NG4N NO. &
The Dollar That Cant
Be Spent


Every dollar spent in advertising is not
only seed dollar which groDs a profit for the
merchant but is actually retained by him even
otter he has paid it to the publisher.
Advertising creates good will worth the
cost Of the publicity.
1t actually costs nothing. While s,G
funds it does not use them up. It helps the
founder Of business to grow rich and at the
same time Keep, bis business from not dying
when he does.
Il eliminates the psnenel equation. Itper.
pctuates confidence IN the itors and makes i
possible for merchant to withdrew from bssi
sen without having the profits Of the business
vihdraww from lin. It changes name to
an inrtitatien- an institution that will sarvios
after the death Of its builder.
It is really an insurance policy which costs
nothing pay, premium each year instead Of
calling for one, and renders it possible to
change the entire personnel of business
without disturbing its prosperity.
Advertising renders the bH,insu stronger
than the an-independent Of his presence. Il
permanentizes systems Of merchandising, the
track of which is left for others to follow.
A business which is not advertised must
rely upon the personality of its proprietor, and
personality in business is decreasing factor.
The public doe, not sOant to knoso the man who
owns the store-it isn't interested in him, but
in his goods. When an unadvertised business
is sold it is only worth as much as its stock of
goods and fixtures. There is no good will to
be paid for it does not exist-it has not been
created. The name over the door means MOTH
ing except to the limited stream of people
from the immediate neighborhood, any Of
whom could tell you more about some store
ten miles away which has regularly delivered
its shop news to their breakfast tables.
Ii is as shortnghed for man to build a
business which dies whh hi, death or ceases
with his inaction as it is unfair for him not
to provide for the cOutH lance Of its income to
his family.

We often hear the deposit guaran-
ty law objected to for the alleged
reason that It would give the poor
banker equal show with the good ban
In this connection 1t is interesting
to read the words Of an Indiana bank
er in recent letter, a man who is
honest and intelligent enough to see
and admit that such a law would be
just and right. This banker, writing
from Muncie says:
In making deposits safe by guar
anty We do not detract from nor dis
turb any superior qualifications that
any banker may have. His personal.
ity, long service, and all existing
advantages, are maintained and the
banker himself has the same incen.
tive TO excel in competition. The
assertion that this plan would lead
to and open wider the gates for dis
honest practices. Is erroneous; for
the same opportunity exists today
and 1t Is occasionally practiced, in
which event the dishonest banker
makes no discrimination, having no
mercy on his friends or foes; so the
knowledge that his depositors funds
were safe would not influence him
one way or the other.
There is class in this country
whose interests are to be consider
ed. 1t is compromised of every kind
OF provident people, from the wealthy
down to the frugal laborer, who by
economy and thrift have saved some.
