SAYS Mr.. TAFT IN SPEAKING
ON CONSERVATION OF
RESOURCES.
HIS POSITION is OUTLINED
Will Recommend a Bond Issue TO
The Amount of Ten MiIlion-sal-
Iinqer Had a Seat on The Plat
form.

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 29.-In a
speech here Tuesday President Taft
made it clear TO what extent he feels
himself bound to carry out the Roose-
welt conservation poncies. In a more
general way the Presidents declara-
ton NAV be applied to the various
other inheritances that he received
from the Roosevelt administration. He
said:
There has been a good deal of dis
cussion il the newspapers as to the
attitude of the present administration
toward the general policy of the con-
servation of resources, and some very
unfair and lot of altogether UNI
founded differences have been drawn.
The truth is my administration is
aledged to follow cut the policies Of
Mr.. Roosevelt in this regard, and
while that pledge does not involve me
in any obligation to carry them out
unless | have congressional authority
10 do so, it does require that | take
every step and exert every legitimate
influence upon congress to enact that
legislation which shall best subserve
the purposes indicated
In other words, the President serves
notice that he will carry out the
Roosevelt policies in so far as they
may be authorized by law, and he puts
the burden for making the fulfllment
of his predecessors policies possible
sQGarely up to congress.
Mr.. Taft makes it apparent that
some CT the reclamation projects un-
dertaken in the Roosevelt admins
tration are, in his opinion, beyond the
authority of law and that he will do
nothing toward completing them until
congress has acted. He announced
that he would recommend the authori-
cation of $10,000,O00 bond Issue by
the federal government to carry these
projects to completion.
The conservation program which the
President will recommend to congress
also includes important suggestions In
reference to the disposal of the gov
eminent coal, oil and phosphate lands
and of the water power sites on the
government domain. The President
would separate legally the surface
from the mineral contents of the land
and either dispose of the mineral de-
posts outright or on a basis of royal
ties. He would, however in every
case make the disposal subject to a
forfeiture restriction and in this way
would insure the public against a mo-
nopoly Of ownership or prices. rs to
the private control of water power
sites the President adopts a liberal
view, but instead of giving them away
as in the past he would make them

CHURCH CLASHES
WITH THE STATE
THE FRENCH CATHOLICS WARN
AGAINST PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
PENALTIES PRESCRIBED.

PARIS, Sept 29.-The French Epis-
copate has issued pastoral letter
warning Catholic parents In France
that the teachings of the public
schools jeopardizes the faith of chill
dren. The letter condemns especially
co-education, saying that the mixture
of the two sexes is contrary to mo-
rality end UNIV orthy of a civilized peo-
pie.
Continuing, the letter announces
that the sacraments of the church Will
be refused parents who allow their
children to attend the interdicted
schools. God rather than man must
be obeyed" the communication de-
clares.
The Temps expresses the opinion
that this letter is a declaration OF
war against the principle of neutral
instl uction and therefore a deplorable
error, which will only ALLEVIATE the
sympathies of the friends OF public
education in France and possibly fur
nish new weapon for the real enc
mics of the church

and a game dinner there. The auto
mobile ride and the dinner were the
most interesting events for the Presi-
dent. At the latter bear meat, grouse,
wild duck and many other delicac1es
from the forests of Washington were
set before the President. Indeed,
there is reason to believe the Wash
ington game laws were stretched
about as hard in this city as the au-
tomobiling speed regulations have
been in other places.

Moral Home Training VS.. Schools.
After prayer by Rev. c. H. Ricketts,
of Greeneville Congregational church,
Principal N. L. Bishop of the Central
school district spoke upon the topic,
Moral Training in the Home VS.. the
Public Schools. Superintendent Bish-
op said he was disposed to quarrel
little with the wording OF his topic,
thinking it better to say Continued in

that was the case when the home
was Christian one, but there were
so many that came from nom Chris

upon this point. know of nothing so
ruinous to both soul and body as the
use of intoxicants.
II we devoted cne-half OF the time
and energy to the home training OF the
youth that we do in attempting reform
and reclamation of the criminal, we
should, 1 think, get infinitely better
results.
Parental Debts to Children.
The final speaker was Rev. r. G..
Miller of Hartford, district secretary
of the International Reform bureau,
whose subject was The Parental Debts
to Childhood. In opening he spoke In
great appreciation Of all that the
preceding speakers had said. One of
the most important debts owed to the
child, said the speaker. was the debt
Of authority, but it seemed to the one
often most neglected. Training In a
moral, physical and spiritual sense
ought to begin at tho earliest time.
There is next the debt Of companion
ship, to be exercised not only by
mothers but by fathers also. Our
ideals and thoughts must be impressed
upon our boys and girls by compan-
ionship with them. How many of Us
find little time to spend with our
boys. Third is the debt Of character
that parents owe their children. These
boys and girls are good imitators and
God pity the boy who doesn't think
his father is the best man on earth
or the girl that thinks the same Of
her mother. Our lives must be con-
sistent, there must be genuine Chris
tian character. Thou must be true
thyself il thou the truth would teach"
Finally, we owe to them the duty of a
Christian character. Without this and
is never completely fulfilled.

lowed by the solo, AS | Wandered
