nifty which overlook the national
capital on Inauguration day, however,
has created such general public de-
mand for change in date for the in
auguration that the prediction of CON
grcssional action on this question
seems to be general
The continued existence of the ma
uonal conservation commission seems
10 be assured, Notwithstanding the ac-
ton Of congress which has bee in
Icrpreted to discourage the continu-
ancc of this body. President Tart
ioaa. con serred with the joint com
mittee of representatives of the ma
uonal and state bodies of this organi-
zation. The position of the executive
is said to be that the commission
was appointed by President Roosevelt
as consulting body on the question
OF the conservation OF the natural re-
sources of the country and that the
states indicated their Willingness for
co- operation by appointing consulting
committees. That such an arrange
mcnt can be carried on without con-
gresslonal approval ana without red
eral expense, seems to be the decision
reached.
President Taft's second day at the
White House was one of handshaSing
and glad words. Delegation after
delegation was received. His meth
ods IN the art of mixing" were
to be different from
those of President Roosevelt Mr.
Tart takes much more time than did
MS predecessor in making the ac-
of his callers, and insists
on knowing not only Their full names
put their residence ana matters ol
family history
The result is said to be that it re-
quires as much time for him to meet
zen men as 1t did for MI Roosevelt
To greet hundred.
