HONOR GUEST AT BANQUET

San Francisco, Oct. 5.-After spend
ing the entire forenoon in the cities
of Berkeley and Oakland, across the
bay, President Taft was welcomed to
San Francisco this afternoon by
throng which lined the walks in
some places ten deep along a line of
march extending over nearly three
miles of the principal streets. The
school children of this city, Oakland
and Berkeley gave their joyous cheers
for the President, and, as in most of
the other cities Mr.. Taft has visited
on this trip, were one Of the prom
inent features Of his reception.
Visiting three cities and spending
three-quarters of an hour on San Fran
cisco bay, the President had a busy day.
AS he was crossing from Oakland Mole
to San Francisco, the army transport
Thomas was setting sail for the Philip
pine islands, and by the Presidents re-
quest, the revenue cutter Golden Gate,
on which he was a passenger, was
drawn up alongside the big vessel,
whose sides were lined with soldiers
and the families of officers. On the
| bridge Of the transport the Philippine
COnstabulary band, which played at the
| Presidents Inauguration in Washing
| ton, was with him recently at Seattle
and was present this morning in the
| Greek theatre at Berkeley when he
made an address in that classic amphi-
| theatre, was drawn up and was play
| ing Hail to the Chief as the President
shouted across the water to the khaki
clad soldiers: Goodbye, boys. 1 wish
you a pleasant voyage"

Answered With a Cheer.

Answering cheers came back to the
President The propeller of the trans
port began to churn the water into a
foam, ripping wave spread from the
bow as the vessel, gay with flags,
gained Roadway and the President
looked wistfully toward the Golden
Gate.
Does it make you feel homesick, Mr..
PRESIDENT" asked Captain Butt, his
aide, who himself had seen long service
in the Philippines.
Indeed it does" replied Mr.. Taft;
land 1 would give anything if I were
going with them"
The President never loses an oppor-
tunity while on the coast to speak a
good word for the Philippines, and he is
always sure of a responsive apprecia-
ton. Referring to his own experiences
at Manila, in one of his addresses today,
he said: You never can tell what the
future is going to bring about. 1t

House to go out 10000 miles into the

Arrived in a Fog.
The President reached the shores of
San Francisco bay early this morning
with typical log hanging over the
cities that front the harbOr. Before II
o'clock, however, the sun had burned
its way through the gray mist clouds,
and when the President reached San
Francisco at o'clock the day was one
of blue-skied splendOr.
Berkeley had the honor of being the
first city overlooking the bay to well
come the President. He was driven in
an automobile to the Greek theatre of
the University of California, where he
was greeted by Professor Bernard
Moses, who had served with Mr.. Taft
in the Philippines. The President made
a brief address in which he declared
that ideals in popular government were
a splendid thing to cultivate, but that
the man at the helm must be content
with a compromise, must accept his re-
spOnsibilities and play the game, -
whether he succeeded in bringing the
people to follow him or had to follow
the people.
From Berkeley the President went to
Oakland and made an address to an
outdoor throng of several thousands.
In both Berkeley and Oakland he re-
ceived a hearty greeting from crowds
lining the sidewalks of the long lines of
march.
