THE PRESIDENT
Now Enjoying Himself in
Washington State.
Says Panama Canal Will Be
Opened July |, 1918.
Surprise to All and Great Tribute
To American Engineers.

Seattle, Wash, oct. 9-This was
President Taft's fourth night ashore
since he left Beverly on Sept. IS. for
his long trip. In the a days he has
been out, the President had granted
himself shore leave" over night from
his private car only at Erie, Pa, Mar
quette, Mich. Omaha and Seattle The
President has stood the trip we'll and
is looking fit and fresh.
Mr.. TAFT spent the day travelling
south from Bellingham. Wash, a little
more than % miles from the Canadian
line to Seattle. He stopped at Buring-
ten, Mount Vernon and Everett, maxi
ing brief speeches in each place. To-
night he spoke in the armory here. As
in the eastern part of the state last
week. large crowds turned out IL greet
him. At Bellingham the folk for miles
around had driven in to see the Presi-
dent. At Bellingham. Mr.. Taft pre-
dictcd the opening Of the Panama
canal by July /, 1913; said that Cana
da would be sorry she had not adopted
the reciprocity treaty and talked about
conservation.
Speaking Of the opening Of the
Panama canal, the President said h
would let the people Of Bellingham
into u little official confidence"
IF nothing untoward happens" he
said, you can count on the compile
ton of the canal not latter than the
first of july. 1913. 1t has only been
promised on the first Of January, 1915
and if il is not ready until then, YOU
must not say that anybody made q
promise that il would be completed be-
fore. But OF course man proposes and
God disposes. 1t Is possible that some
thing viii happen down there in the
way of slides and delays that may
continue until the first OF January,
1915, but | don't want you to have any
unpleasant surprise. ! don't want YOU
to have heart disease if you learn that
the first steamer goes through on the
first of July. 1913'
Mr. Taft said it made no difference
what policy was adopted in regard to
the tolls or management of the canal,
because the people were certain to see
that arrangements were made II make
it profitable to ship goods through the
waterway.
There is one topic that I had in
tended to discuss with YOU said the
President. but our neighhors across the
border a week or more ago seemed 70
make it past history. But / think you
will agree with me that in doing so
they made a mistake. Had that trea-
~ gone through it would have been
greatly beneficial to both countries.
Now I think we know 4 iittle more
on this site than they do on theirs,
because we are an older country. ATT
er some years of experience, il is pos
sipe that they Will come 10 take the
right view. but whether that be so o.
not. If they don't grow as rapidly as
we do and as rapidly as they might
have grown, they cannot say il is our
fault"

AS a parting word to the Chris
tian citizenship of Tacoma last
night Gypsy Smith told them to
get behind Commissioner Petit.
There was no evasion, no dodg-
ing, no ifs nor ands but a clean
cut out and out endorsement or
the man in the city hall who
against fearful odds is making Ia
coma the cleanest morally it has
ever been in her history.
Gypsy Smith has been studying
Tacoma ever since he came, 1S
days ago. He found what Tacoma
citizens know, that with an honest
commissioner of safety trying TO
enforce the law and his oath of
Office, a mighty combination of
Royal Arch-vice syndicate-big-bus-
incss and subsidized press is at
work to thwart his Efforts, and
create such a situation and arouse
such prejudice as will enable the
combination to win I'm the coming
election and turn back tile hands
on the dial of progress. ..
With mayor asking, Does 1t
pay to butt your head against a
stone wall?" when Commissioner
Fettit asks for support and en-
forcing the laws against vice and
the saloons, and two commission
ers standing with him to defeat
effective work, Gipsy came to
Fettits aid.
Get Behind Petit.
Get behind the man who is try
ing to clean up Tacoma" he told
his 1000 hearers last night while
the great tabernacle rang with ap-
plause.
Don't you pray THY kingdom
come and then vote with the
brewery"
For ten minutes the great
preacher hammered this doctrine
into that great audience until
there was not a man or woman
present who did not know what
he meant.
He gave the Christian citizen
ship of Tacoma to understand he
expected 1t to apply the religion
he has been preaching at the bal
/. lot box next spring.
Told Life Story.
Gypsy Smith closed his engage
ment in Tacoma with a lecture on
his life.
He told how he, as a gypsy boy,
lost his mother, how his father
with five little ones in his covered
wagon, with no knowledge of re-
ligion, with no knowledge of a BIZ
ble, yet felt a longing for some
thing he did not have and finally
went to London to get it. He was
converted In mission. The chill
dren followed hfs example and
when 16 General William Booth
took the gypsy boy to make an
evangelist" of him.
The collections here amounted
TO about $4,000. The expenses
of the local committee were $5,-
010. Half of the collections GO
ITO the Gipsy Smith London COM
mittee, so the guarantors who
backed the project will have to
pay about 35 per cent. of their
guarantee.
