in the White House. He left the
capital on August with the cheers
of crowds ringing in his ears, and
he returned tonight to the same

objective point was the White House

could get away from the brief ad-

his automobile and was taken i'm

Arriving at the White House, he

his final speech this afternoon, Taft
prefaced his preliminary statement
with some recommendations that his
Arst annual message to congress
would contain, which included rec

sources, and the reclamation of arid
land. He added that the demand
for products of the soil was greater
than the supply because of our rap
idly growing population, and stated
that the acreage must be enlarged.
The president spoke of the great
amount of valuable coal lands and
of the many valuable water power
sites, and also mentioned the mil
lions of acres of phosphate which
the government owns, and stated
that they are of such peculiar value
that it seems wise that the govern
