 and gone, and in the brief space of an hour and a half his memorable call has marked a redletter event in the history of PrescOtt-an event that will be a vivid spot in the lives of the seven thousand cheering citi- zens and the one thousand iubilant children who saw and heard the chief executive of the nation.
 It was only for ninety minutes that the president was the guest of the Queen City of Arizona, but there was crowded in that short period many features that not only made the entertainment itself an unqualified success, but probably will be stamped indelibly upon the memory of the president.
 Impressive Events.
 There have been many and other parades which the nations chief has headed but none where enthusiasm and patriotism were so prominent when comparative numbers are con- sidered. That legend token of Hassa- yampa water by Chairman Morrison; the presentation of the Masonic em- blem transformed out of a Yavapai county gold nugget, and the informal reception at the Yavapai club, where he greeted the representative citizen ship of the city, are all incidents that cannot fail to impress the president in the future as bright spots in his long eircuitous journey across the con tinent among the millions of people over whose material destinies he pre- sides.
 His Speech a Sermon.
 And if President Taft was pleased with his reception at Prescott, and there is no doubt that he was-as he both publicly and privately expressed that sentiment-Prescott in turn was pleased with the president. That ex- pansive smile, fortified by some 300 pounds of jovial, golf-hardened hu- manity, at once won the favor of the people, and his straightforward talk, distinguished by rare good sense, and punctuated by g sermon on the re- responsibilities the electors in framing q constitution, created confidence, adS miration and host of friends among those of opposite political faith. All over the city last night praises re- sounded for the presidents speech, not particularly because he emphati- eslly declared that he would do all in his power to confer statehod upon Arizona, but principally because by his elear-cut sentiments in regard to the solemn duties of citizenship in con neetion with the framing of the new constitution.
 Insight Into His Character.
 But there was one incident that oc- cured of which but few had knowl- edge. Just before the president spoke, Captain A. W. Butts, chief of the secret service, spoke to the mounted patrol that were guarding the ropes, and said: "Let down the ropes and bring the people close to the stand" Turning to the Journal-Miner repre- sentative, he explained. "The presi- dent wants the people as close to him as possible.
 That one incident more than any other, served to illustrate the true character of William H. Taft. It show ed not only his confidence in the people of Arizona; his lack of fear of being struck down by an assassin af- ter scanning the faces of the throng before him, but also revealed the man himself and the spirit that actuates his policies.
