Governor Kitchn, in introducing the

wanted Mr.. Taft to know that the
south was his country, as the north

In his address President Taft, in
emphasizing the need of forest pres

I'VE have reached time in the his
tory of this country when if we would
have timber at all we must pursue the
common sense course of treating 1t in
such a way that it will reproduce it
self and of cutting it in such way
that we shall not destroy it altogether.
We must preserve it from disastrous
fires. You have within the boundary
of your state a gentleman named Van
derbilt who has gone before anyone in
the science of forestry, and | conErat-
uate you on having that example,
that thereby you may formulate laws
which shall preserve 10 you the timber
of your state, continue your wealth
and prosperity and form a model TO
other states on the preservation OF that
which God has given you and pre-
served to this moment.
