step in this direction by compelling all

policy had done much to develop tho
industry In Canada, as the mills in
Michigan. where the lumber cut in

Quebec proposed to adopt similar
policy and he hoped that New Bruins
WICK would follow along the same line.
He was opposed to the export of pulp
wood.
He also favored tenure to the lessces
of timber limits. The policy of th,
United states had been to dispose al

the Amey girls parents to allow him
to pay attention to their H-year- old

would be liable to answer to charge

than kidnapping. The two came here

Ludlow Center, where several state
wards have been furnished a home.

A PERSONAL STATEMENT.
President Tells How 1t Feels to Be in
White House.

Newark, N. j., Feb. 23.-President
Taft prefaced his prepared address be-
fore the Newark Board of Trade here
tonight with personal statement of
his feelings after being year in the
White House which brought the audi
ence to it's feet with cheers. He took
occasion to pay his respects to the
newspapers, saying he was going home
to Washington and would avoid them.
Ex-Governor Franklin Murphy. in
introducing the President. predicted
that the President would make good
and he himself took a fling at the
newspapers.
Il had not intended to say anything
on the subject of my first year in the
White House." said the President, but
after what Ex-Governor Murphy has
so graciously said l cannot refrain
from personal word or two.
Il told him l wanted to make good a
year ago. l am not so certain of do
ing 1t now. He said something about
newspapers. When the newspapers
are prone to criticize and sometimes
unite in hammering your administra-
ton, treating it sometimes with con-
temptuous disdain and sometimes with
ratronizing friendship. it is hard to
overcome the feeling that perhaps you
ought to begin all over again.
In view of all that, to have receiv-
ed the welcome which 1 did today
and which l believe to have been sin
cere-gives you a little hope that per-
haps the newspapers don't carry in
their pockets all of public opinion. and
that perhaps the American people are
able to see through something of
hyperciticism. something Of hysteria.
and something of hyprocricy and to
have a real sympathy with the man
who under considerable responsibility,
is doing the best he can.
They say that sometimes demon
STATIONS are misleading, but am go
ing to believe as have said that your
reception today and tonight is sincere
and I am going to take the fattering
function to my soul as I go back to
washington, and avoid the newspa-
pers."
