PRESIDENT TAFT'S TOUR
Enthusiastic Thousands Greet Him
On His Western Trip.

Making hi3 way still further to the
west, President Taft arrived in Den.
yer Tuesday afternoon and at night
in the D yer auditorium where
year ago Mr.. Bryan was nominated
as his opponent in the presidential
race, faced crowd that in its noisy
welcome and continuing enthusiasm
recalled some of the scenes of con-
vention week.
The President instead of discussing
the conservation of natural resources
took up the subject of the corpora
ton tar.
He strongly urged that all the
States should adopt the proposed
amendment to the constitution, how
ever, to make an income tax possible
in time of need.
The President Tuesday night de-
clared that the corporation tax was in
itself the best form of income tax
that could be levied and pointed out
that it contained many of the best
features of the income tax law Of
England.

DIR. COOK AT n. Y. BANQUET
Makes After-Dinner Speech in Which He Gives
Credit to Others Rather Than HIMSELF
Takes Lesson From the Wild Man.

New York, Special.-Cheered by
thousand zen and women as he en-
tered the banquet hall on the arm of
Rear Admiral Winfield Scott SchLey
(retired), Dr.. Frederick A. Cook told
his story Thursday night before the
most brilliant audience that he has
addressed since he left the court of
Denmark.
While there was no official repre-
sentative from either State or nation.
the assemblage was cosmopolitan and
enthusiastic. Crowded in the great
ball room of the Waldorf-Astoria
they toasted the Brooklyn explorer
and listened attentively to his recital
in the form of an after-dinner ad-
dress.
Among those at tie tables were ex-
plorers, some of whom know the dan
gers and suffering of the Artic zone
almost as well as DR.. Cook himself.
Men of science were there also, but
the address was not technical.
Commander Peary's name he did
not mention except at the end of his
speech, when he said:
"There is glory enough for all"
After due greeting for the ovation
DR.. Cook said
"The key to frigid endeavor is sub
sistence. There is nothing in the en-
tire realm of the Artic, which is
impossible to man. If the animal fires
are supplied with adequate fuel there
Is no cold too severe and no obstacle
too great to surmount. No importan,
expedition has ever returned because
of unscalable barriers or impossible,
weather. The exhausted food suppl,
from a limited means of transporta
tion has turned every aspirant from
his goal. In the ages of the Polar
quest much has been tried and mucl
has been learned.
Most Important Lesson.
"The most important lesson is tha
civilized man, if he will succeed, must
bend to the savage simplicity neces
sary. The problem belongs to mod
ern man, but for its execution we
must begin with the food and the
means of transportation of the wild
man. Even this must be reduced and
simplifed to fit the new environment
"The effort of getting to the Pole
IS not one of physical endurance, nor
it fair to call it bravery; but n
roper understanding of the needs of
ne stomach and a knowledge of the
--mits of the brute force of the mo-
tive power, be it man or beast.
"The conquest was only possible
with the accumulated lessons of
early ages of experience. The fail
ures of our less successful predeces-
sors were stepping tone to ultimate
success. The real pathfinders of the
Pole were the early Danish, the
Dutch, the English and the Morse.

Pueblo, Col, Special.-The Presi-
dent landed across the Rocky Noun
talns Thursday morning. For the
first time he Travelled through the
grand canon of the Arkansas, where
at one place the half mile deep canon
is so narrow that there is not room
for the track and the river, and the
former has to be carried over the
rushing waters by means of a hang
ing bridge, suspended by cables en-
beded in the rocky walls of the
chasm. The eleven-mile ride through
the canon was made by moonlight.
At the entrance overlooking the
valley of the Garden of the Gods,
with the Rockies in the background
and dark clouds playing tag with
Pixies Peak, Mr.. Taft expressed his
admiration of the view with unre-
strained enthusiasm.
At Pueblo the President was driven
at the head of long procession of
automobiles to the State fair grounds
to face another exuberant throng
and to make a brief extemporaneoua
speech of appreciation.
In the pulpit of the famous Mormon
tabernacle in Salt Lake City where q
years ago Theodore Roosevelt, then
President, preached long sermon OIL
right living and the duties of good
citizenship, President Taft Sunday
faced an audience which he said in
splred him to try to follow in the foot
steps of his predecessor.
The President s 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 and not to
harbor hatred or animosity.
GA soft answer turneth away
wrath, but grevious words stir up
anger was the text Mr.. Taft Sc
lected from the book of Proverbs. The
sermon was largely made up of a re-
lation of stories to give emphasis to
the points.
From the tabernacle the President
was driven to review about twenty
thosand school children. At one
point along the line a thousand or
more children had been arranged in a
living flag, red, white and blue caps
and capes serving to outline the ma
tional emblem.
Thence the President proceeded ia
