TAFT RAPS EDIEoR
IN BERKELEY SPEECH

BERKELEY, Cal, Oct. 5.-Speaking ir
the amphitheatre of the Greek theatre M
the University of California, President
Taft said:
Things look different sometimes to the
engineer at the throttle and the profess
sor in his university in his chair or the
editor in his sanctum. The government Is
q compromise and we must try to get the
best we can out of it.
I'm other words. we must play the
game. If they will not go where he would
lead them, then he must play ball with
them and follow them"
OAKLAND WELCOMES HIM.
From Berkeley the president and the
members of his party proceeded in auto
mobiles to the X. z. Y. Route Inn, in
Oakland. where the official welcome of
that city was extended by Mayor Mott.
At the inn detachment of the Thirtieth
United States Infantry had been drawn
up, to salute the president. and a compa-
ny of marines formed part of his escort
in combined military and civic parade.
At Lake Merritt the parade halted long
enough for the president to make a brief
address. The official schedule provided
that the party board the revenue launch
Golden Gate for the trip across San Fran
cisco Bay at 11:25.
The official parade in San Francisco
was followed by the laying of the corner
stone of the new Young Mems Christian
association building. President Taft later
prepared to attend a reception at the I'm
ion League club then to retire to his ho-
tel for a brief rest in preparation for the
banquet in his honor tonight.

PLEA FOR THE sEMINoLEs.

Making a plea for the Indians OF
the Everglades of FlOrida-the peO-
pie who yet live in spite Of the ad-
vancing civilization Of the white man
In the Businesses Of this virtually I'M
explored territOry-Rev. Irenaeus
Trout recently accomplished good
work for his cause. says The Savan-
nah Press.
Mr.. Trout recOunted the manner OF
life in the Everglades Of the Sem
inOles, among whom he is working
in connection with DIT. Golden. an
English physician who has lived
among them for a number OF years.
They make their home at a settlement
owned by the Episcopal Church. This
Is a reservation Of $50 acres. and as
yet Il Is but little developed. The
church has been limited In its means
for the work. and while the two men
have accomplished a great deal in the
way OF gaining the confidence OF the
Indians. and getting them interested
I'm the life Of the white man, progress
has been hampered because Of a lack
of funds TO turn the land 10 account.
This tract Is 70 be converted into
a farm 20 be cultivated by the In
dams on shares by way OF teaching
them 10 farm. The Rev. Mr.. Trout
points out the fact that Il will not
be very long until the Indians viii
be compelled to give up hunting and
their wild way OF living, because the
Everglades are being bought up by
sugar syndicates and the State Is car
rying on the work OF reclamation.
The remnant Of the tribe remaining
I'm the Everglades has firmly refused
aid from the Government or TO live
ON a reservation. and the plea tina
the missionary makes Is that Il Is IN
cumbent upon the white man TO edu
cate them into ways OF usefulness
so that they may become self-suppor'
ing when they are hnally forced L
leave the 'glades.
No Offering was made, but III

says: Even though the sundry civil

tial salary item Of $4,000. Mr.. Taft
will be little or no better provided
for I'm this respect than Mr. Roosevelt
has been for a year or two. In this

PHILANTHRoPIc JUDGE GARY,

when Judge Gary. the head Of the

peared before the Committee OF Ways

pany does not care for maintaining

very well AFFORD TO get along without
IL. but tariff reduction will drive the
smaller steel concerns to the wall. Il
was only philanthropy. so he tried to
make IL appear. that induced him TO

Germs.
Now the same Judge Gary has start
ed a trade war, OF which Il Is thought
will bring ruin to some of the small
companies. Does the Judge cOntem-
plate coming to the rescue Of these

be crippled and commit another act
Of philanthropy by gobbling them up

Col Bryan now talks as II he would
again like to run for President. Real
ly, We think Il Is about time for him
to practice riding his trick mule and
give the Democratic party a rest He
will not again have the Solid South
back Of him either In convention or
at the polls. The immense vote Taft
received in Georgia at the last cleo
ton showed that the delegates from
that State represented their consti-
tuents In opposing Bryan for the nOmi-
nation. He no doubt received as
many, II not more electoral votes than
any other Democratic candidate would
have received at the last election, but
the people who compose the masses
of the party viii not again blindly
follow his leadership. and he may as
well make up his mind that he win
not be President Of the United States.

THE PISTOL ToTER.

hN ANAANNAAn NAAANAN W 80
OF carrying concealed weapons is TAX
en- from the February number Of Uncle
Remus-the Home Magazine-and is
from the pen OF Don Marquis:
There is too much pistol tOting'
and too much palliatiOn OF pistol tot
ing all through the South. The mere
possession of a deadly concealed
weapon has a certain psychological
effect upon the most conservative OF
temperaments. Upon even a stranger
the feel Of a pistol is likely to breed
the desire to use the pistol.
In most human beings, with aver
age advantages and average education,
this desire to feel that one can kin
IL one choOses-this cheap love Of
the spectacular-passes away rather
early in life; or Is reserved for a
more legitimate and recognized exer-
else on the side Of law and order. or
in war time, or In some dangerous
calling. But the tough nature does
not care whether Il Is exercised on
the side Of recognized authority OF
not, II is simply its exercise that such
a nature desires. He wants % see
himself in a heroic attitude.
II have no doubt that many OF the
night riders went into the thing just
because Il gave them an opportunity
to ride around the country at night,
in a silly masquerade with guns in
their hands, and in their egotistic
hearts that satisfying feeling that they
belonged to a band that runs things.
IF the young men in the rural COM
munities, and even In some Of the larg-
er towns throughout the South, can
not be convinced that habitually to
carry a pistol-unless upon occasions
when one is really needed-is a fool
ish thing to do. they can at least be
convinced that IL is an expensive
habit The laws against carrying con-
cealed weapons are good enough. all
that Is needed Is their general en-
forcement by the proper authorities.
"Duelling has been frowned on In
this country for several decades, but
Il would be better than such street
killings as that Of Carmack, in Nash
VILE, or that Of Gonzales, In Columbia,
a few years ago. In a duel each par
ticipant at least has something like an
equal chance, but when the pistol
tOter' goes after his man IL Is not
with the idea Of giving him a chance
for his life.
IF men Of influence and a certain
degree Of prominence, like the COOpers
in Tennessee, and the Tillmans Of
South Carolina, tote deadly weapons
with which TO settle their personal
difficulties, II these men Of a class
who are supposed TO have had certain
educational advantages are pistol
toters. how then are the inhabitants
OF the Reelfoot Lake district, the Ken
lucky and Tennessee and Georgia
mountaineers, and the youths Of the
narrow inland villages all throughout
the South, who are lacking In OppOr-
tunlties and position, 20 be taught tho
lesson that pistol tOting' Is a vain'
foolish, criminal and contemplate
habit?"
