THE MORMON TABERNACLE

Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 29.-In
the pulpit of the famous Mormon tab
ernacle in this city, where four years
ago Theodore Roosevelt, then president,
preached a long sermon on right living
and the duties of good citizenship,
President Taft yesterday faced an
audience which, he said, inspired him
to try to follow in the footsteps of his
predecessor and deliver a preachment.
Mr.. Taft did preach a sermon-text
and all. The immense audience in the
flag-draped edifice, the splendid must
cal program of operate n patriotic
selections, the encoring as President
Taft passed, and the quick response of
the audience to points which he en-
aeavored to impress upon his hearers,
inspired him, the president declared,
with higher thoughts of country and
patriotism.
The presidents sermon was an APP
peal for amity between the people, for
attributing the best rather than the
worst motives to the action of others
when possible to do so n against the
harboring of hatred or animosity.
"A soft answer turneth away wrath,
but grievous words stir up anger" was
the text Mr.. Taft selected from the
book of Proverbs.
h sermon was a homely utterance,
largely made up of a relation of stories
to give emphasis to the points.

SENATOR CARTER IS
PRESIDENTS cHAPERoN

Taft arrived at silver Bow junction,
several miles outside of Butte, at $50
q. m. He was greeted by Senator
Thomas NJ. Carter. The train was
switched to the Butte, Anaconda & Pa
ciflc railroad for the run to the famous
'Washoe smelter near here and the
president alighted at the very threshold
of the immense plant.
1t was Mr.. I'aft's first view of a cop
per smelter of his size and he ex-
pressed great interest in the work.
From the smelter the party proceeded
In motor cars to Anaconda, where. after
q parade through the city, the presi-
dent made a brief address. Leaving
here the party was scheduled to arrive
in Butte at 1910 a. m.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 29.-When Presi-
dent Taft arrived in Butte this morn
ing he found a city eager to welcome
him, the streets gay with bunting and
nothing in sight to mar his reception.
He was welcomed at 1880 at the depot
by a big reception committee, and
waiting autos took his party over the
line of parade mapped out several days
ago, and after his speech on North
Montana street, opposite the court
house, he was Whisked away to his
train and started on the journey to
Helena, where he was welcomed by
thousands of Montana citizens at the
state fair grounds.
When the parade. headed by the
president, reached the speakers stand,
former Senator Lee Mantle introduced
the president to Mayor Nevin, who, in
D few words presented MI. Taft to the
throng. AS in other cities. the school
children formed a feature of the greet
ing to the president. The children all
carried flags and saluted the chief ex-
ecutive as he passed in his motor.
Labor Troubles Are On.
The troubles between the Western
Federation of Miners n the organi-
cation of the engineers in the mines
caused a change in the original pro-
gram. 1t had been planned for Mr..
Taft to spend some time in the mines
and smelters here, bu when the labor
difficulty became acute last week, the
committee changed the arrangement so
that a part of the time was spent at
Anaconda, where the smelters were
visited and examined.
Both the sheriff and the chief
of police added many men to their reg
ular forces, and the town was thor
oughly policed by men in uniforms and
plain clothes.
P~recaution Unnecessary.
These precautions were unnecessary
as the labor troubles had practically
been adjusted, and the hundreds of men
who were idle We're expected to be back
ito work tonight.
l. No doubt the visit of the president
was a factor in postponing the return
to work until tonight. Throughout the
controversy there had been bad feeling
between the factions. out this seemed
to have disappeared, so that nothing
occurred to mar the pleasure of the
presidents visit.

PINCHOT TO
REMAIN IN SERVICE
Taft Declares Intention to
Garry Out Roosevelt Con-
servation Policies.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 29.--As a
result of several long conferences with
Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot here
President Taft Saturday caused to be
issue a statement in which it is de-
clared that never at any time during
the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy has
the president intended to reflect upon
Mr.. Pinchot, and in which Mr.. Taft
takes a more forward stand than ave
In avor OF the Roosevelt policy for
conservation of natural resources.
The president indicates that what is
to be done in the way Of reclamation
of arid n must be done within the
plying to congress for such confirma-
tory and enabling legislation as will
put the Roosevelt policies on the firm
est possible basis.
Mr.. Pinchot, before leaving tonight
for Washington, also issued a state
ment in which he makes public a por-
ton Of President Taft's letter written
to the chief forester at the time the
letter to Secretary Ballinger was die
tated. The president said he hoped
Mr.. Pinchot would not find reason in
the Ballinger letter for resigning.
II shall not resign" declared Mr..
Pinchot.
Il believe in equality Of opportunity
and the Roosevelt policies, and 1 pro-
pose to stand for them as long as I
nave the TO stand for any
thing"
Mr.. Pinchot's statement was shown
to the president before it vas given Out.
The presidents statement follows:
I'm view of the published statements
that the letter Of the president to Sec
rotary Ballinger was to be considered
In some way a reflection on Mr.. Pin
chot. h president today authorized
the publication of the following:
"That at the time he wrote the letter
to Secretary Ballinger he also wrote a
letter to MI. Pinchot, assuring him
that the conclusions stated therein were
not intended in my way to reflect on
him; that the president deemed Mr..
Pinchot's continuance in the public
service as of the utmost value; that
ne expected to continue the Roosevelt
policies as to the conservation OF re-
sources, including the reclamation of
arid lands and preservation of our for
ests and the proper restriction in re-
spect to the use of ZOE lands and water
sites, as we'll as the improvement of our
waterways, and to ask for
such conf1rmatory and enabling legisla-
ton as would put the execution Of
these policies on the firmest basis, and
that he would deem it a great loss il,
in respect to the matters with which
Mr.. Pinchot had been concerned, the
administration should be denied the
benefit of his further service"

Boost Delaware Farm Lands.

Soil and other experts sent here
by the American Agriculturist have
published a very optimistic and en-
cOuraging opinion of the coming
value of farms on the peninsula.
The matter is of such interest to
every farm owner and prospective
farm owner in Delaware and the
adjoining peninsula counties that
it may cause a decided increase in
land values this autumn.
The Agriculturist publishes a
chart Of the peninsula and few
Maryland counties on the other side
Of the Chesapeake, together with a
key to the value per acre of all
farm land as is now being sold at
public sale
1T will be noticed, says the
Agriculturist, "that in some cases
prices are reasonably high; that is,
upward Of SIS to SIoo per acre. |
But that is usually due to nearness
to some good town.
"In other places extremely local |
conditions add to or depress prices.
These figures have been compiled |
from official sources and are believ-
ed to fairly represent per acre price
at which farms can be bought.
"The comparatively low value of
farm land on both shores of the
Chesapeake bay should attract to
those neighborhoods thrifty, pro-
gressive, hard-working people. In
most cases the land is fairly good
and responds to good agriculture.
In view of the amount of plant
food actually present in most of
these soils and conveniences OF
these lands to market by rail and
water, it is the deliberate opinion
Of American Agriculturist that great
Of these farms are worth
twice the figures quoted.
THAT is to say, farms can be
bought for SIS to $50 per acre al
most anywhere in the above region,
Under good husbandry, will pay
good wages for the labonand man
lgement required, and on top of
hat will yield an actual net profit
up to twenty per cent yearly on the
;apital invested. Any such return,
If course, means that the land is
worth double the price quoted, or
N the basis Of FIVE to ten per cent.

Irritation and Good Roads.

J. C. Osgood, honorary vice president
for Colorado of the seventeenth ma
tional irrigation congress, which will
meet at Spokane, Wash. Aug. 9, re-
Gently wrote a letter to the secretary
Of the board Of control in which,
among other things, he said:
II think a good roads convention
would add greatly to the interest OF
the coming congress, but 1 go further
than wanting merely good roads. I
want the very best roads. and / be-
lieve that the people of the irrigation
states have a claim on the government
for large expenditures in the building
Of the principal roads through the
mountainous and sparsely settled Sec
tions Of the country equal in charac-
ter to the best roads Of France, Eng
land and Germany"
