TALKS TO DEAF
President Taft Has Unique Ex-
perience at Vancouver.
Also Addresses School Children
at Olympia.

Olympia, Oct. 1.-THE Taft special
reached the capital of Washington on
time. The president was driven with
Governor Hay Immediately to the
capitol. Before making his principal
address to several thousand persons,
Mr. Taft stopped to exchange court
estes with several hundred school
children. He put several questions to
apparently that they could not ans
Wer. Who is this with me?" inquir-
ed the president, turning to Gov. Hay.
I'VE don't know, SIR answered a
ed. well, he's your Governor Hay,
continued Taft with a laugh. Yes,
sir dutifully echoed the children.
The president spoke on the capitol
steps. He chose the tariff vetoes for
his subject and explaining how the
bills came before him, declared that
reciprocity lis a dead issue-at any
rate a dead issue at present.
Its pretty hard nowadays to tell
who is a Republican and who is
Democrat, said the president in be-
ginning his speech. The president
congratulated Washington on the pro-
gressive legislation, that has been
adopted in the state, and said that he
was especially interested in the work
mems compensation act, subject now
being considered by special commits
sion appointed by congress-.
While the president was speaking,
the body of H. A. F'airchild, public util1-
ties commissioner of the state, who
died Sunday was lying in state in me
capitol. The crowds were unusually
silent during the presidents speech BAT
members of the party did not learn
until later of the presence so close at
hand of the body of one of the state S
best liked officials.
Later the president was driven to
the executive mansion where he receiv-
ed the state officials. He was the guest
at luncheon of Governor Hay.
