This program has been under daily
development, but President Taft has
been enjoying 4 very easy week, a sort
of studied effort at contrast possibly.
He concluded his literary labors on
promised speeches, gave attention to the
callers Who came on public business,
and devoted the rest of his time TO
swatting the little white pill over the
hills OF the Myopia Club. His game has
been poor all the week. He could not

TALKS
To CANADIAN PAPER
Had Recommendation From
Governor Frear to Show
Abroad.

VANCOUVER, August 80. - With
scheme for the immigration of Russians,
who will settle on the prairie lands of
Canada after giving a guarantee that
they win farm and not drift into cities
to swell the labor market, A. Perelstrous
arrived in the city TODAY from Homo
lulu via Mexico. He will interview the
government and railroad officials before
returning to Honolulu on the Zealandia.
Mr.. Perelstrous comes with letters of
recommendation from Governor Frear
of the Territory of Hawaii and other
officials. He has been a resident of
Hawaii for the past year, having been
in charge of the immigration of Rus
sian settlers and laborers. He arranged
for $500 Russians to 90 to the Hawaiian
Islands. Mr.. Perelstrous in an inter
view said:
1.-The idea which I have to talk over
with the Canadian government and rail
road officials is the importation of Rus
SLAMS who will settle on your vacant
lands. The people | took to Honolulu
are now doing well, but they are essen
tally a northern people, and the dis
| trict of the Volga is where | propose
| to get the immigration from for Canada

before anything else, and the vast prai-
| ries of Canada should provide room for

abiding and thriftv-who are not Duk-

prepared to bring to Canada are good,
| clean people. They want nothing more
than a chance to make home for them
| selves. and they are splendid farmers
! They viii quickl yadopt the ideas and
methods of the country, and will spend
/ their money here, for it is in Canada
| they win make their homes. In this
respect they differ from Asiatics. who
send the money they earn out Of the
country. | want to emphasize the fact
that my people viii not crowd the labor
markets. We don I want them to 90 to
the cities, and there is little fear that

way to Vancouver, and President Dia7

Mr., PereIstrous was for nine years an
official Of the Russian government, a
civil engineer by profession He built
the drydock at Port Arthur and the
dock at Dalny, and he was also respon,
sible for the Notifications at Port Ar
thur and Nladiyostok. After the wal

was largely incidental and that, While
the President discussed some matters VI

about originating or abandoning any
important litigation IN that district

the New York County Republican com
mittee for the part that gentlemaf
pIaved as between the President and the
ex-presIdeut. 1t was noticed that Mr.
Griscom . visit to President Taft, after
the latter sent his letter explaining the
situation wish reference to the election
of a temporary chalrman Tor the STATE
convention at Saratoga, did not ma
terialize The truth is that President
Taft had no desire TO see Mr.. Grlscom
and. while nOmInaIly wI!h the cause OF
ex-President Roosevelt, does not Tee
like bearing hand at all IN the Ne"
York strife He has had few words
about the Ohio situation IN recent days
but not with Ohio politicians. The
word brought him from his own state
is not at all encouraging and RepupllcaI
affairs there seem going from bad tC
worse. In the course of few weeks
the President will probably make lily
ing trip to his home in Cincinnati ano
stop at the residence of his brother
Charles F. Taft, for short while. Thus
he will be able to get into touch with
political affairs and, perhaps, be able tt
cheer the workers up "a little.
A few days ago the President attend
ed the only public function of the sum
ner at which he meets the people OF
Beverly face to face. That was the
having of cornerstone for the new
NJ. c. A. building which is to cost, Will
its site, 100000 There was a turning
out of several thousand people for the
occasion. which occurred in the middle
Of the afternoon.
The President made happy speech
telling how he had laid Y. NJ. G. a
cornerstones at Dayton, Omaha Seattle
Hongkong. Shanghai and Manila anc
pleased the Beverly folks tremendously
by telling them that he intended te
make the North Shore his summer home
for 1.-TWO more years at any rate. ,
Then he took up the silver trowel and
spread the mortar all around the corner
stone. This was task that occupied
him for several minutes as he insisted
upon doing the work very thoroughly
He paused only once to inquire
"Where is the mason, where is my
boss9' and when the mortar was ready
he helped lower the stone down over the
copper box containing the deposits OF
records.
The President was the first contribu
tor to the building fund and has showr
considerable interest in the enterprise
He goes out to meet the people OF
Beverly only once year and the laying
of the cornerstone was chosen for the
occasion. Last year it was at a re
union of the Grand Army veterans Of
the Essex county association.

Can Not Be Done.


As proposition for the advancement
of the . New Nationalism, the Presi-
dent alluded to two items in this plank
as at variance with the Constitution Of
the fathers. 1t is conceded among law
yers that the federal government can
not enact child labor laws, except for
the District Of Columbia and the terri
tories. The subject was threshed out in
the senate at great length a few win
ters ago. Senator Beyeridge, who
aspired to establish great reputation
as a constitutional lawyer, stood forth
on the proposition that the federal gov
eminent could enact child labor laws,
but he was so terribly ousted on that
proposition that he has since dropped
pretense to legal lore in that direction.
The congress refused to enact any child
labor law-for the states-and only en-
acted provision for general investi-
cation by federal officials.
The President also allowed that the
comprehensive workmen 5 compensation
acts would have to be passed by state
legislatures, unless the Constitution was
amended. He had little spirit for at
tempting himself to revise or reWrite
the Constitution. He had attempted
one amendment, that making an income
tax law constitutional and his difficult
ties in achieving it are already pretty
well understood by the country. More
than year has passed and hardly half
dozen states have vet ratified the
amendment 1t virtually may be rati-
fed. but not for some years at least
Still Remembering the Maine.
There have hapv s~F.f 1,s.r
The last week, although the subjects
discussed have been less political than
usual. The President is mapping out in
his mind considerable work for the cabi-
net at his meeting with them i'm Wash
lngton the latter part Of September.
Several matters that have been brought
up at Beverly In preliminary way
have been postponed for final or further
consideration at Washington.
Que Of them is the raising of the
wreck Of the battIeship Maine in Ha-
vana harhor. \ few days ago J. F.
Q Rourke. a construction engineer Of
New York City. called at the Presi-
dent S cottage and explained plans for
rather novel operations in that connec-
ton. He made a very favorable i'm
preston with the President and it Is
probable that Mr., o 'Rourke will be
commissioned TO undertake the work.
Congress ha, appropriated $1,000
toward il, but this viii not be enough
| unless Mr.. 0 'Rourke can be given as
slstauce by naval tugs and other means
which the government has at its dis
po~al. The President IS having a search
made Of the law to ascertain whether
! there Is any legal obstacle to his en-
/ pioyment Of naval ships for such task.
! Mr.. 0'Rourke 5 idea IS to build a
! eotterdam around the wreck and IN
| side OF this to construct machinery for
| hitting II by cables. He proposes to
place seventy strong cables under the
WEecS and by the use of jacks to
