Bill Hanley, who everybody in Ore

the Governors special train.
Like all good citizens who go to
Washington, he visited the White

President Taft. Press dispatches say
that Mr. Hanley's quaint philosophy,
so generally enjoyed here in Oregon,
delighted the president, and the two

President Taft is a mighty fine
fellow" said Mr.. Hanley afterward.
"He was especially good at making

Second-There is not a weak
