TAFT is OUTSPOKEN
FOR CONSERVATION

Chicago.-The following letter, said
to be President Taft's first authori-
tative utterance on the conservation
of National resources, was received
here by A. w. Shaw, editor of bus
mess mans magazine.
''The conversation of National re-
sources is a subject which will prop
erlv claim from the present adminis-
tration earnest attention and appro-
priate legislation. The necessity for
comprehensive and systematic i'm
provement of our waterways, the pre-
servation of our soil and of our for
ests. the securing from monopolistic
provisional appropriation the power
in navigable streams, the retention OF
the undisposed coal lands of the gov
ernment from complete alienation
all these matters are vitally important
to the people Of the United States
and to your constituency, the business
men of the country.
without the resources which make
labor productive, American enterprise
energy and skill would not in the past
have been able to make headWay
against hard conditions. Our chill
dren and their children will not be
able to make headway if we leave to
them an impoverished country. Our
land. our waters, our forests and our
minerals are the sources from which
come directly or indirectly the liveli-
hood Of all Of u.s. The conservation
of our national resources is a question
Of fundamental importance to the
United States and to the business men
today"

MISS FRAKER WINS
HON0RS IN THE EAST

The many friends Of Miss Mitylene
Fraker the talented vocalist of this
city, will be glad to know that she
has been winning additional honors
in the east. The following concern
ing a recital given by her is taken
from the Minneapolis Sunday Trib-
une:
A recital of especial interest was
that of Miss Mitylene Fraker, pupil
of Willard Patten, at Studio Arcade
on Wednesday evening. Miss Fra
ker's program covered a wide range
of vocal literature, from the florld
embroideries Of Rosgini to the mod
ern classics OF MacDowell. The ar
rangement of the selections was ad-
mirable, the more recent Italian num-
bers being grouped in a sort of Sc
quence; three songs by Metcalf
formed another group, and three by
representative women composers
made a very effective feature of the
evenings entertainment.
Miss Fraker's voice, a broad, mel
low contralto Of ample compass, was
perfectly adequate and her interpre-
tations very apt and interesting. That
her singing has been successful else
where the following extract from a
letter written her by Mrs. Fryberger,
former president Of the Thursday
Musical, will attest:
"Of those who appeared upon our
program yesterday none were more
artistic in their work than yourself
Your voice is rich and beautiful and
your use Of It shows much intelli-
gence and understanding of your art"
Miss Fraker leaves in a few days
for her home in oregon. She is all
ready engaged for concerts and re-
citals in Portland, Baker City, Walla
Walla, Pendleton, Spokane and Couer
d'Alene, and will be one Of the SOLO
lists at the great Northwestern Bap-
tist convention this summer in Port
land.
Assisting in the program were Miss
Magdalen Olborg. violinist, and Mrs.
Liela Stevens Lane at the piano, each
doing her work excellently. The pro-
gram was as follows:

of Sheba) .......,...... Gounod

PRESIDENT TAFT PRAISES
BASEBALL AS GAME

Pittsburg, Pa, June ALI doubts
concerning President Taft's opinion
of baseball were dispelled yesterday
when the president stated that in his
opinion baseball was the cleanest, the
finest and the manifest sport in all
Christendom.
Baseball appeals to me as the one
clean sport" said the president,
"There is no jockeying, no finn
flammng. no chicanery, as in some
other sports-horse racing, for in
stance. I enjoy baseball, and espe-
cially did I enjoy yesterdays contest
between Pittsburg and Chicago"
This endorsement of the national
game was uttered during a general
talk at the residence Of It. K. Laugh
lin. Jr., where Mr.. Taft spent Sunday.
During the discussion the president
reiterated his dislike for the bunting
game. Several times Saturday when
a hit meant a run and when the bat
ter was ordered to bunt the president
gave signs Of impatience.
81 believe" he said, "they should
hit It out. I like the games where
there Is plenty of slugging, as / be-
lieve the sporting writers call it."

Through an official act of the Church
of the Brethren in Pennsylvania mem.
bers of the sect who wear gold rim.
med spectacles and eyeglasses are vir-
tually called heretics.
The Brethren, or Dunkards, as they
are commonly called, have always been
opposed to all forms of ostentatious
display. In the rural districts the
members Of the church adhere faith.
fully to the old-time regulations, es.
chewing all ornate features of dress or
architecture.
Those who go to the cities and es-
tablish churches there have discon,
tinued many of these customs. The
men wear neckties and watch chains,
which the older rural members re-
garded as denominations. The city
churches have organs and stained glass
windows, which are not tolerated in
the rural churches.
In matters touching the conduct OF
the members the Dunkards are not
governed by set rules, but merely by
the general sentiment of the church
expressed from time to time In its con.
ferences. The only authorized creed
Of the church Is the Bible, and upon
the literal Interpretation of various
passages of Scripture are based the va.
rtous customs Of the church, such as
the baptism Of adults in a running
stream, the opposition to warfare and
litigation, the wearing Of the plain

sary ornamentation be discontinued
and that the sisters wear the prayer
cap during religious services"
The question of a paid ministry has
been source of much perplexity to
the church. Originally ministers were
chosen from the membership of the
congregation and served without pay,
continuing their previous employment.
The city churches found such methods
impracticable and to maintain their
work were forced to pay their pastors.
Officially this Is termed a supported

Americas Cocoa Con.umption.

The imports of crude cocoa into the
United States in the calendar year
1908 amounted to 97,419,70O pounds
valued at S12,999,S36 The imports the
year previous were 912,147 pounds
less, but the total value was s2155..
743 greater. In other words the mar
ket value of the cocoa imports dropped
from 171a cents per pound in 1907 to
13 1-3 cents in 1908. The United
States Is the largest consumer of CO.
coa the world output of which is
about 340,O00,000 pounds. The leading
countries supplying the American mar
kets are the British West Indies
which sent 27,945,S71 pounds in 1908
while 17,026,116 pounds came from
