st. Louis, Sept. 23.-"When a de-
cision hits me between the eyes the
only thing to do is to sit still"
That was President Taft's sum-
mary today of how he feels over the
Canadian situation. The president
spoke at a breakfast given him here
today by the Mercantile Club. In
troduced by Governor II. S. Hadley,
of Missouri, the president said:
81 am sorry to announce that my
reciprocity policy is not going
through. l observe that the dis
tinguished speaker of the house is
engaged in discussing who is respon-
sible. Well, I am content with Can
ada's decision, and | do not suppose
it makes any difference who is respon-
sible. / am familiar enough with
supreme court decisions that | know
that when l get a decision that hits
me squarely between the eyes the
only thing to do is to sit still
Il had great hopes Of carrying the
reciprocity agreement, and am con-
vinced that it would have greatly
benefited both countries. But ma
iority of the electors in both coun-
tries did not coincide with my views
All I can say now is that 1t was a
party issue except insofar as max
ing me responsible for putting
through something which did not
pass is concerned"

The LAST DAY
OF Conference
ASHLAND NEXT

When the question of selecting a
place for the holding of the next
conference came up before the Ore
gon annual conference this morning,
the ministers for the first time dur
ing the session, opened the flood
gates of their oratory-threw them
wide open and so excessive was the
flow of language that the previous
question had to be moved to stop it.
Three towns entered the field for
tt-FOrest Grove, Ashland, and Cor
wallis, and if the rosy pictures paint
ed Of them by the preachers this
forenoon were true, they excel in
convenience, grandeur and beauty
all other towns in the world. Spec
lal stress was made by the orators
on the fact that the towns were
dry Ashland seemed to be a lit
tie drier than any of the others, and
the fact was emphasized and it won.
Bishop Moore after the previous
question had been moved, remarked
that he had found out that a great
many preachers lived in dry places.
ParSOn Vindicated.
indicating DR.. John Parson of the
charges preferred against him, but
declaring that in at least one in
stance he had been imprudent, the
committee appointed to investigate
the case, submitted its report this
forenoon. The committee remained
silent as to the matter in which he
mad been imprudent, but fearing the
newspapers might color it up, were
1t not specifically set out, the confer
ence amended the report by saying
that It consisted in writing a letter
saying that the congregation in a
church at Fairbanks had no objec-
uon to a saloon being located near
church in that town.
In quiet way newspaper report
ers were raped by some of the
members of the conference, and
Bishop Moore punctuated the re.
marks with the statement that in his
nome town when the case came up
ne had been bounded by a reporter
VINO seemed to be looking for some
thlng bad and that he had a sharI
talk with him over the telephone.

VIII Tackle It Tomorrow.

Colfax, CAL, Sept. 23.-When the
first rays of tomorrow mornings
sun tinge the summit of the Sierra
Nevada mountains aviator Robert
G. Fowler will make his second at
tempt to conquer the steep slopes OF
the range In his $4,000 trans
continental flight. Equipped with
a more powerful engine the aviator
is brlm full OF confidence in his
ability to combat the outlaw winds
which sport about the steer
canyons and gorges OF the higher
slopes, and which buffeted his
biplane about like a toy today.
Fowler states that his failure To
cross the mountains today was due
solely to the lack Of power in his
engine to carry through the air
currents. He flew rs miles from
Colfax and when still 25 miles from
Summit, was caught by the bolster.
Gus mountain gales. which tossed
him about as II his machine had
been a small boat struggling to live

tain side, where the air was much
calmer, but his engine refused tc
carry the plane through the rarlfled
atmosphere. To cross the noun.
tains without a stronger engine was
impossible.
Descent meant the wrecking Of his
machine, with good chance oi
death. He clrcled about in the all
several times in an attempt to fine
a route by which he might get ovei
the range, but when the sun dis
PEELED the clouds and he saw the
lofty crests Of still more mountains
rising behind the lifted curtain, The
aviator knew that nature had woT
and turned back.
The engine to be used tomorrow
will be of much greater power ant
Fowler is confident of success.

The denial is believed to be au-
thoritative.
Wickersham especially objected to
the statement in the alleged inter
view printed in the World quoting
him as saying; "The steel trust is
plainly combination in violation of
the law" The Encouragement put
in a busy morning telegraphing peO-
pie concerned in the matter here to
the effect that he had not made this
statement.
Wickersham stated that there are
100 trusts which will have to re-
organize and that he is willing to
give them plenty of time to do so.
If they do not, he said, they must ex-
pect dissolution actions and criIhi-
nal suits affecting the directors to
be forthcoming.
The Encouragement emphatically
reiterated the statement that he will
not resign.

COMMERCIAL
STREET CAR
DOES A STUNT

One of the South Commercial
street cars did little stunt of its
own this morning at the corner. Of
Commercial and Ferry, and directly
in front of the Journal office. The
car was northbound and probably
tired of the numerous kicks about
the service on South Commercial, or
ashamed of its part therein, sudden
~ decided to quit. Taking pattern
after the national Republican party,
the opposite ends of the car failed
to agree. The front truck, like the
stand-patters, stuck to the main
track, while the hind truck took the
La Toilette switch and struck out
down Ferry street. Still like the
good old party, the trucks couldn't
disrupt the body, and when they got
at right angles to each other, they
both stopped.
A truck team was hitched on to
the La Toilette end, but it proved
only a sort of U'Ren proposition
and accomplished nothing Then
another car was hitched on, but 1t
was a single truck sort Of Prohibi-
ton car and the Progressive" truck
refused to respond to its blandish-
ments and persuasion. Finally, the
big rock hauling engine was hitched
on and dragged the recalcitrant
trucks back onto the main line, and
pushed the whole down to the car
barns 1t might be to carry the
simile to its natural conclusion, that
sent Democracy, for it illustrates
about what the party will accom-
plish at the next election, get the
! old reliable onto tn emain track and
lpush it to safety.
