At Rochester late last night the Presi-

ments.
Mr.. choate introduces President.
( Introduced at the tuberculosis Con-
I gress by Joseph H ChOate. President
Taft said in part:
AS an original proposition a movement
like this would strike one as the result
rather Of enthusiasm than OF real hope FOR
betterment. because the details which are

possible 10 expect fruitful result And
yet We ought 70 look about 20 other expert

people OF the state Of New York that they
have made such progress In this matter.
I We look 10 YOU 10 help as out In every re-
garu in this nation. You have got the

What Asrieulturai Department Is Doins
NOW. I am far from saying that that
view ought 70 keep Us at Washington from
doing everything possible under the fed
eral Constitution 20 help along this and
Ike movements IN other states. We have
an Agricultural Department. and we ars

farmers. by the results Of our research
how they ought 20 treat the soil. and how
they ought 20 treat the hog. and how
they ought % treat the cattle and the
horses. with a view 20 having good hog,
and good cattle and good horses.
Now. there is nothing in the-COnstitutioI
specially about hogs or cattle or horses
and II out OF the public Treasury al Wasa
ington We can establish a department FOR
that purpose. II does not seem 70 be a Ions
step or a stretch of logic TO say that We
have the power 10 spend the money in
research 10 tell how We can develop gOO5
men and women. Some OF our enthusiast,
ccnservators Of natural and national re
sources have calculated how much the liz

think il necessary 20 resort 20 that hnan-
. cial calculation in order 20 justify the saw
ing Of human life. such as can be accom-
pnshsd by the results OF tie research and
advice that viii proceed from a bureau q,

and circulating the results Of its investi
gati2n through the country.
Hopes SeOurse Will Be Conquered Seen
The President closed by expressing the
hope that by 1915 or late this grea,
scOurge Of mankind shall! be conquered
as malaria and yellow fever have been. %
Mr.. ChOate called attention 10 the fac,
that the publicity phase" OF the tuber-
cuIOsis campaign in this state outside OF
New York City had been started here
with the aid Of Governor Hughes TWO
years ago. He added,
To was the frst genera! alarm II has
been followed during the last two years
by "a system OF work intended 10 arouse
popular interest. best described perhaps
T as an eduCatiOna. crusade.
