WASHINGTON, May 2s.--(Special Tel
egram )-When President Taft leaves for
New York tomorrow night he starts upon
a series of journeys which will set new
mark in presidential oratory He does
not go forth panoplied to smite the in
surgent and the tariff knocker in his lair;
neither does he go to round up votes and
chide the delinquent voter. His missions
are to he those OF knowledge giving. He
will impart to the graduating classes
great truths which may or may not help
them when they are lined up on the
greater gridiron of life Brief respites
will mark the erudite junkets.
AS the president sits amid the splendor
of graduating halls and learns that, be
yond the Alps lies Italy, and that Caesar
was really and truly a greater fighter
! than Napoleon, he will establish new
epoch in the lives Of the presidents.
| But first of all, President Taft will go
| to New York to review the Memorial day
parade on Monday. Late Monday he will
be back in the national capital preparing
for his second trip, which starts June 2.
Talks to Young Women.
The frs commencement grafton deliv-
| cred by President Taft will be at the
young women's school at Bryn Mawr,
the following day he will deliver a noon
day speech at the graduating exercises
of the Ohio Northern university at Add,
o. with the plaudits of Ada still ring
ing in his ears the president will be hur-
ried to Detroit in time to speak the same
night. The speech in Michigan may en-
body some politics. for Senator Burrows
| Is said to be meeting some opposition up
that way.
On June President Taft will be shown
! the beauties of Jackson and Monroe,
Mich from the quarter deck of an auto
mobile, and the evening of June will
again find him back in the district of
i Columbia.
| On June IS two orations will be delivered
Iby the president TO graduating classes
lOne will be at Villa Nova college in Penn
| sylvania and the other will be at Idncolr
college, an institution for negroes not far
from Villa Nova An automobile will con-
vey the president from one school to. an
other.
AT villa Nova an honorary degree ot
doctor of Jurisprudence will be conferred
upon President Taft. Four days later

mater, Yale, and witness the commencement
exercises in which his son Robert viii
dS dl OLdlOIs 1hc Idle COHl
mencement exercises will be the most In
teresting of all.
VIII Listen to His Son.
Presldet Taft always speaks with grea
feeling at Yale, for his love for the schoo
is very warm. Doubtless he will lister
with keen interest to the speech of his sol
and the judgment Of the president upoI
his sons forensic ability will be sought
for as an arbiter Of the qualities OF orator!
the president stands without a peer. Evei
the democrats admit this.
A dinner will be given at New Havel
for the president, after which he will go t
New York So far as the schedule is mad
out now, these are all the commencement
exercises the president will attend. How
ever. few more dates may be added earl!
in June With the broad syInpathles whcl
are one of his chief characteristics, Presi
dent Taft delights TO speak upon sucl
, occr sions. He even excels former Presiden
> Roosevelt on such speeches.
