Rochester, n. Y, March 1S.-Presi-
dent Taft received noisy greeting
when he arrived in Rochester. at 1
o'clock this afternoon. The streets
from the Center Park station of the
New York Central Railroad where he
detrained to the Zenra hotel were
crowded with cheering throng. The
President seemed deeply 10 appreciate
the demonstrative welcome and had his
silk hat off almost constantly acknowl-
edging the salutations of the throng.
Escorted by a company of the militia
and Naval Reserves he rode in a flow
er -decked automobile to the hotel,
where after a brief rest he appeared
on the MesZanine balcony and made a
brief address to the crowds in the lob
by. After referring to the fact that the
last time he was in Rochester he was
candidate for Office, the President
said: r ..-,
since that time have been elected
your President, and if anyone here
thinks that 1t is an easy fob let him
try it, 1t is not easy to get there, my
friends. and not ensy after YOU get
there" ~ 70 'A
Tho President spoke feelingly 'of The
death of Rep. James Becker Perkins,
whose home was in this city.
Leaving Chicago at II o'clock last night
President Taft did not rise until after his
train had passed through Cleveland this
morning. In response to Geographic re-
quests he appeared on the rear platform
and made brief speeches at AsItabular,
Ohio, Erie, Northwest, Dunkirk and Bat
tavia- The train stopped but few mo-
ments at Buffalo and there was no
speech AT each of his stops the Presi-
dents remarks were little more than a
greeting to the crowds at the depot
The President was rather annoyed To-
day at stenographic error which crept
into the report of his conservation speech
at Chicago yesterday. Anxious to give
credit to Clifford Pinchot for his great
share in the conservation movement, the
President referred to Mr~Roosevelt who
was inspired by Clifford Pinchot to that
wonderful activity of mind and body with
reference to the conservation movement
The stenographers made it read: who
was it inspired Clifford Pinchot." etc,
leaving an inference which was Just the
reverse of what the President said.
After spending the night at the Seneca
hotel, Mr.. Taft will leave early tomor.

In the second place had come the cor.

In the fourth place Congress reduced
the duty on print paper only 80 per cent
instead Of putting it on the free list. Thi,
offended the newspapers.
And last of all, the postal savings bill
had turned all the bankers against the
administration

see just where we are coming out. But
l am confident that In the end these
measures will approve themselves. The
troubles We most fear are those that
never come. The measures that we prom
Used ought to be adopted not because they
will give us political strength, but be-
cause they are right And If they are
right the people will find them to be right
and that's the best politics in the end"
The President referred to the measures
he hoped Congress would adopt at this
session in the following order:
The bill amending the interstate COM
merce lawA
The bill for postal savings banks.
The anti-injunction bill.
The statehood bill

Figure on the laundry bills Unless
one has some one who viii do up your
shirt waists. choose materials that DO
not need starching, preferably those
that need not be I-oned. Wash crepes
that necd only be shaken out after
washing are excellent for the girl who
wears white waists 10 work.
PonEees or wash silks are a good
choice for summer wear, and If Sc
Iected the color Of the skirt are as cool
as a white waist and need less frequent
washing. Cashmeres, yelling, chsllis
and wash flannel are a good choice for
winter use
The girl who lives on Htsle cannot af-
ford the luxury Of white underwear
that must be washed, starched and
f-oued once a week, AID at least two
complete sets. Instead, choose gauze
combinations. You can have the con-
