BRYAN AT

The Post-Intelligencer, republican,
says the crowd that assembled to hear
Mr.. Bryan at Seattle, was probably as
large as that which heard the presi-
dent. The Times, Independent, says
the Bryan crowd was larger. Since
their eminences OF the tall tower say it
is a matter of Mr.. Bryan's voice and
gseture. the Seattle incident mounts
to the Importance of u ripping event.
the United States, the greatest office
known in human affairs, is more pO-
tent in attracting the interest of peo-
pie and drawing them together tnan
any other agency Yet, we hav it
from their eminences that this presi-
denCy, this position paramount in the
world, is skinned to death by Mr..
Bryan's voice and gesture. Indeed,
does it not seem that their eminences
have themselves been carried away by
Mr.. Bryan's voice and gesture, and
tina possibly their judgments are tenn
porarily out of gear?
To most men Of calm judicial tenn
permanent. Mr.. Bryan's power in
drawing audiences is sequel to that
demonstrated truth that he is be-
loved by millions. kindly regarded by
other millions, and his sincerity doubt
ed by few. The charming amiability
that stands out in his every address,
his abiding faith in his country, his
trust in the masses and his gentle
courtesy to his political opponents
even when combating them, are traits
that through Is years Of public life
have won him an admiration of which
there is no parallel. This, with a pow
erful mentality and a standing as a
citizen that have brought him into
guestship and contact with the great
i'll all lands explains the secret of why
men of all classes are delighted to
sit i'll his presence when Mr.. Bryan
is a speaker. If it is mere voice and
gesture that does 10 all. their emf
pences have a secret worthy Of pat
cnt, and worth millions.-Oregon Jour
nal.

the past year said he favored hard
surface pavements in preference to
macadam, and had always been so in
clined. Mr.. Whiteman said he believed
the macadam laid her was as good as
could be made with the rock available
and under the specifications in force,
and said thai he had no criticism to
make of any one who had been identi-
fed with the improvement.
Property owners. however, in view
of the fact hat the newly-macada-
mixed thoroughfares are being sadly
neglected, feel that they are not placed
on an equal basis with those taX-pay-
ers in improvement districts where
hard-surface pavement with a mainte-
nance fee, has been laid. just what
action is to be taken is as yet a matter
of conjecture, but it is o improbable
that a monster petition, signed by
property owners in macadam districts,
will be presented to the council, ask
ing that the soft-Surface streets be
given the same attention tina the city
provides for asphalt streets upon ac-
ceptance.

were Alabama, California, Ohio, North
Dakota and Wyoming. These by
amending theid action. or any five
others that have not yet acted, would
be sufficient.
We doubt the accuracy of this con
clusion. The senate might fine in
fromalities in other petitions, it
might hold that the necessary num-
Der OF states must act with practical
s~imultaneity. And finally, if ali
failed, what power exists,
and where, to compel the senate to
act? Might senators not say:
What's the constitution as be-
tween friends?" But if more states
will adopt the Oregon method, or will
send enough more men like LaFollette
and Bristow to the senate, the amend
ment will pass that body without pc
titions from two thirds of the state
legislatures.

is ~expending $50 900 in the erection OF
a banquet hall, 71x72 feet. in the patio
of the federal building. h decora-
tions of the reception and banquet
halls are magnificent.
From the Juarez banquet hall.
PRESIDENT Taft will be escorted to the
Chamber of Commerce building in Ell
Paso. where he will be rendered a re-
ception by the Ohio society.
From the Chamber Of Commerce he
will be given a five-mile ride in an
automobile over paved and macadam
streets and roads to the Ell Paso
Country club.
In the golf courses the president
will find something unusual at Ell
Paso. Instead of plodding over a green
course the president will hike over
gravel dotted with greasewood.
After returning to the club for re-
freshments, he will be rendered a re-
c~eption by the Yale alumni from all
over the southwest. The president
probably will find time for an inspec-
ton of the military post and then will
be escorted pack to the city.
While President Taft is being en-
te~rtainel on the American side in the
afternoon the citizens of JuareZ will
be entertaining their president. Presi-
dent Taft will leave FL Paso about
O'Clock this evening, and President
Diaz will start soon after that hour
on his honeward trip to Mexico City
Every precaution was taken to pro-
tect the two presidents. Secret ser
vice men, city detectives. soldiers and
police co-operated and it is confidently
] expected that the day will pass with

ner no less hearty. Bands crashed a
noisy salute and the players were able
now and then to make themselves
heard above the glad acclaim of the
populace. Troops saluted their COM

anthems Of the two republics.
After the separate receptions at FL
Paso and Jaurez, President Diaz cross

guished guests viewed a gorgeous
pageant which passed the reviewing

tary of both republics were at the
mead of III parade, and these were
followed by civic and fraternal organ
izations of both Ell Paso and Juarez
and by thousands of school children
from the two cities.

the Ohio society Of Ell Paso, with its
membership of 800. the members OF

LADY IN THE COUNTY

Aumsville, Ore, Dec. I've have
the oldest lady in the county living
here, in my opinion. Grandma Smith
was SO years on the 29th of Novem-
ber. She came to the county in 1S46
and has been widow for over 20
years, her husband having been
Henry Smith. She is the mother of
seven children, eight having crossed
the river. She is active for her years,
and regular attendant at the Chris
tian church. Mrs. Smith is still a
companionable person, and takes a
lively interest in everything. l have
been her friend for over 40 years.
