PRESIDENT TAFT ISA
CONFIRMED GADABOUT

Washington.-The village s5ssips
here have Delivered the verdict.
Neighbor Taft is a "gadabout." Not
mild "gadabout," who gads a little
now and then. but a real all-wool-and-
a-yardwide "gadabout," who is on
the go all the time. And if you don't
believe it look at the record
The White House hearthstone has
been singularly deserted since the
Taft regime began. When he is not
travelling outside of Washington. din
ners, parties, balls, banquets, conven-
tions, the theatre, social and business
gatherings of all kinds, drag the
presidential presence from the exc
cutive roof-tree, and the said pres
ence seems not to be averse to being
dragged away. On the contrary it
seems to enjoy it.
Probably two-thirds of the "occas-
ions" have demanded speeches. i'm
promptu or otherwise. Several mill
lion words of public speaking have
been turned out by the president in
the last year. At least two nights a
week, when he is in Washington, the
president attends the theatre Often
he first takes in the play, and after
wards hurries away to some other
function, a dinner. or dance. Is it
strange that the luxuriant mustache
that hides-or reveals-the famous
Taft smile is growing gray?
Probably no other president ever
put the physical effort into gadding
about that Taft does. Certainly he
holds the record for continuous pera
formances. Three engagements in an
evening with two speeches to deliver
is no uncommon thing for him.
Besides all this, President Taft does
real days work every day. He is
UP at for a half hours hard exer-
else with his physical trainer, who
puts him through a strenuous course
OF setting up" drills and shadow
boxing before the days business be-
gins. From $50 until 2 he is at the
executive offices, grinding out a grist
of handshakers, and handling execu-
tive business and legislative callers.
| At . a short hour for luncheon and
/ he is back on the job until six. From
then until 1870. he usually takes his
daily walk hurrying back to the
White House for dinner, and to pre-
pare for the strenuous evening, with
its theatre, dinners and speeches.
| All this is wearing down the avoir-
dupois of the executive, but the ones
who are getting nervous prostraton
over it are the Sercret Service men.
To them the present program means
work almost without end. Hundreds
of petty details must be attended to
every time the president goes to the
theatre or takes walk. and it is up
to the quiet complacent walking
arsenals to do the work. Just now
they are thinking fondly Of the luxu-
rious Roosevelt days, when hard work
consisted Of a Is or 90 mile walk
through a rain storm. or a 80 mile
horseback trot, and it did not in
volve six nights a week of social
functioning.

JUNKET TRIP WAS
A SPLENDID SUCCESS
WALI4A WALLANS WE'RE
ENTERTAINING HOSTS
Coed Cheer and Harmony Features OF
Long Days Junket-People Favor
Publicity Plan-an Except j. p.
Neal,

II was a we'll satisfied brigade of
boosters that returned to the city on
the Commercial club special at 7
o'clock last night after a strenuous
day with the people of the east end
and of Walla Walla- Though some
what tired by the hard days trip and
by the entertainment provided by the
Garden City folks and others along
the line, the best of feeling prevailed
among the junketers for all realized
that the trip had accomplished some
thing for Pendleton and for Umatilla
county
Publicity was the watchword of the
junket trip and everywhere the party
stopped the waiting people were told
of the plan for organizing a county
publicity bureau to work for the
greater settlement and development of
all sections OF the county. 1t may be
truthfully said that the proposition
was cordially received. Copies OF the
petition for a vote upon the subject
were left in all the towns within the
county and the leaders in the differ
ent communities agreed to have the
petitions circulated.
Walla Walla Entertained.
The great feature Of the trip yes
terday was the splendid reception ac-
corded the delegation by the hospit-
able people of Walla Walla. When
the special arrived in the Garden City
at noon it became apparent at once
that Walla Walla was waiting with
open arms to receive the crowd and to
repay Pendleton for the courtesies
shown the Garden City people when
they were in Pendleton.
At the depot the Walla Walla band
played welcoming air as the train
arrived and a string of autos was in
readiness to care for the ladies. The
parade from the depot to the banquet
room where lunch was served was
through streets lined with welcoming
banners and pennants.
Following the luncheon and until
$50 the members of the party were
driven about the city in automobiles.
Visits were made to the Blalock farm
where artesian wells spouted their
streams high into the air, to the pen
itentiary and to other points Of in
terest about the city.
When the party left Walla Walla
it was with the most cordial feeling
for the people of that live and pros
porous city.

The Milton Meeting.
At Milton the meeting was held in
the new opera house and it was at
tended by some OF the most promi-
nent men of the two towns. though
the attendance was not as large as had
been anticipated. Hon S. D. Peter
son, president of the Commercial club
Of Milton, presided and welcomed the
delegation to that city. In behalf of
the junketers ]. R. Raley spoke brief
ly and then Judge S. A. Lowell was
introduced for the principal address
Of the meeting. In an eloquent talk
Judge Lowell presented III an appro-
pirate way the broad purposes of the
expedition and put particular stress
upon the fact that in advocating the
establishment of a publicity bureau
Pendleton is not moved by selfish mo-
tives, but is out with a genuine at
tempt to aid the progress and devel-
opment of all sections of Umatilla
county. The applause which follow
ed the conclusion of Judge Lowell's
address testified to the endorsement
of his sentiments and likewise to the
personal popularity of the speaker
with the Milton people and with his
own delegation.
One Jarring Note.
The only discordant note at the
Milton meeting, or Of the entire day
for that matter was struck by ]. P.
Neal the Freewater attorney and the
leader of the move to divide Umatilla
county. None Of the previous speak
ers had referred to the issue of coun-
ty division and the meeting had been
marked by general good will. Mr.
Neal, however spoke in a sarcastic
vein and showed a feeling of rancor
that was out of harmony with the
spirit of the occasion. The incident.
though, was treated lightly by men,
bers of the delegation. especially so
after local people at Milton had ex-
pressed regret over the occurrence.
Weston and Athena Loyal.
At Weston and Athena all of the
speakers manifested loyalty to Una
tilla county and made 1t plain that
the move for division had no friends
in those two little cities For Athe-
ma this declaration was boldly made
by B. B Richards, president Of the
Commercial club and the cashier of
the First National bank
At Weston a big banner had been
strung across the street, near the
public fountain, and it bore the le-
gend:
Weston is for Umatilla county and
the Eastern Oregon Normal School ="
The Weston speakers included s. A.
Barnes, Mayor Turner and Clark
Wood and all voiced loyalty to Una
tilla county as it now exists. Colonel
Wood made an eloquent Plea for the
normal school and was heartily ap-
plauded. T. C. Taylor and W. L.
Thompson led in giving three cheers
for the eastern Oregon normal.
The Band Was There.
On the trip the local delegation was
accompanied by the band and at all
the points visited the band led the
professions and the music did much
