senate in getting together to map out the
program for the many sessions that must

Of the house ways and means commit

PRESIDENT WILL VISIT SALT LAKE
ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER
Expects to Start From Beverly, Mass on the 18th and Head
for Denver, This City and Seattle.

Washington, July 9.-President Taft
today while en- route to Washington
gave an outline of the tentative plans
for his trip through the west and south
this fall.
The president has abandoned all idea
of visiting Alaska this year, largely
owing to the fact that Mrs. Taft will
not be able to go with him. Upon his
arrival here today the president re-
ceived word from Beverly that Mrs
Taft was rapidly improving in health.
She went for sail yesterday, and the
cool weather Of the northern shore OF
Massachusetts is assisting in her re-
cuperation. The president feels. how
ever, thai it would be too much of a
strain upon his wife to ask her to go on
the long western trip this fall, which
will occupy about two months.
Will Start Sept. is.
As soon as the tariff bill has received
the action Of the president, Mr.. Taft will
leave Washington for Beverly. He will
remain there until Sept. 15-his fifty
second birthday-when he hopes, if Mrs
Taft continues to improve, to begin his
western journey. The president will
head directly from Beverly to Seattle,
stopping for brief visits en- route at Den
yer, Salt Lake and Spokane. After Wis
iting the Alaska Yukon Pacific expOsi-
ton, the president viii swing down to
the southwest, stopping for a time at
Portland, where he will be the guest Of
Senator Jonathan Bourne, and proceed
ing thence to San Francisco. where he

Francisco. the president will go direct
to Los Angeles, where he will stop for
several days with his sister.

ditorium, the National Education asso-

Dr. Henry 3. Favill, N. D., Of Chi

Voters League was the principal speaker
tonight. His subject was Should the

Basis of Integrity.

Physical health is the basis of mental
and moral integrity. The question of pub
lie health is the most vital question con-
nected with the social and moral progress.
This involves. however, an intelligent
broadening of school activities to the
point of correlating through the school
the social activities of its contingent COM
munity.
The relation Of the school to the child
during the formative period of its life
(the period during which the child is re-
ceiving its growth. mental and PHYSICAL
puts beyond question the obligation to
establish this idea"
This was the argument made by Dr..
FaviU in his contention that the school Is
the guardian of the health of the child.

Conferenee VIE Taft.

Senator Aldrich this afternoon had an
extended conference with President Taft.
who had Just returned from New Eng
land.
The president questioned Mr.. Aldrich
concerning many of the anne ndments to
the tariff bill made by the senate, but
It Is said that he did not CTiticise any of
the proceedings in that body except the
acceptance of an amendment to the cor
pOrtatiOn tax provision, making it appli-
cable TO holding companies. The infer
ence gained by Mr.. .Taft's callers today
IS that he would not sanction the adOp-
ton Of an amendment taxing the net
earnings of corporations unless the ut
most caution is taken to prevent double
taxation
After the conference with the president
Mr. Aldrich said that it might be neces-
sary to entirely re-draft the corporation
tax provision in conference.

Labor Day.

The rain Monday made the
proposed Labor Day picnic and
ball game impossible. All that
was done by way of celebration
was the playing of a few selec-
tions by the Lexington band and
the colored band on the court
house porch just after dinner and
speaking in the court house and
the consuming of a considerable
amount of alcoholic beverages.
The idle throngs sought refuge
from the rain in the emporiums,
and also refuge from care. There
were two pretty good f%ree-for-alls
in Block AZ and near the public
hitching rack. The public parade
in the morning was short, but sew
eral private animal professions
were put on.

Death of Georqa DODGE.

George Dodge died Sunday at
4 a. m. at the county farm near
Wellington He had been in poor
health for more than a year and
his death was no matter of sur
prise.
Mr.. Dodge was born in Iowa
and was about 65 years old. As
d boy he came to Lexington and
practically all of his active life
was spent here. He was a bus dri-
yer and was employed at various
times by the transfer company,
j. c. Young, ST., and the ferry
company. He was engaged in driv
ing the bus between here and the
Junction when his health failed
him. He was then sent out west
by some of his friends in the hope
that he would be improved, but
he was not bettered and returned
to Lexington. Then those who
should have cared for him and
furnished comfort during his last
days left him and he was forced
TO become a charge of the coun-
ty. The dreary sadness of his last
Few days is something hard to
contemplate. He was a very kind
man himself and was honest and
upright in all his dealings with
Others. His earthly end was not
9 fitting one.
The funeral was held at the
farm Sunday afternoon, conduct
ed by Rev. r. T. Mansfield of thi
city. Burial was in the yelling
ton cemetery.
