Executive Advises South to Help Pass

servation Policy Is Also Upheld
by His Successor.

Augusta, Ca, Nov. president Taft
yesterday played at golf with his host
in Augusta, Major Joseph b. Cumming,

the Georgia Carolina Interstate Fair;
rode through the streets of Augusta
amid the cheers of his "fellow citi-
zens'' and left the city at Z. NJ. for

call upon the president at the golf
links on his invitation by Ty cobb, the
baseball player, the extreme cordiality
of the reception of the president in his
winter capitol" and the good fellow
ship extended to his encourage, were
the features of the day.
In his address at the fairgrounds the
president touched upon a number of
matters of national Importance. The
Keynote of his address was national
sanitation, that a national board of
health should accomplish for the nation
| itself what the nation had accomplished
for others in Cuba and Panama.
The president also talked ship sub
sidy and suggested that the plan mer-
tied the support of the South-espe-
clally OF cotton manufacturing states
like Georgia and South Carolina Mr..
Taft Is speech in part follows:
| 1t seems to me that the most i'm
portant subject and the most important
collection of subjects is that which re-
ates to the conservation of our nat
ural resources. Unless we can secure
uniform state cooperation, uniform
state legislation with reference to the
preservation of our forests and the
equalization of the water, which falls
from the clouds, and the preservation
of our soil from being washed out to
sea, we shall not be able to carry out
the program set for us by Theodore
Roosevelt, which to every thoughtful
man must commend itself as of the
highest Importance to the safety and
preservation of our nation.''
Regarding national sanitation the
president said:
We now have various bureaus in
Washington which have functions con
neeted with the suppression of dis.
eases and the study of the different
diseases, but they are scattered and
they need to be united in one bureau
which shall direct its attention to the
study of questions of health under all
conditions prevailing in this country
so that by the circulation of the knowl
edge obtained it may enable the people
to live hygienic lives.
"Now it is true that the health Of
the citizens is directly committed t,
the state, but it is also true that tn,
question of agriculture is committed
, by the constitution to the state. Never
theless the agricultural department ha
found much that it can do to assis
the agriculture of the country.
