President Taft's arrival in Rochester at
o'clock yesterday afternoon gave the
town its first presidential guest in eigh-
teen years. Gen. Harrison was the last
to visit it, in 1892
Mr. Taft was met at Buffalo by Mayor
Edgerton of Rochester, who promptly
showed him to a crowd of thousands at
the depot here. The naval militia. using
full charges of powder. saluted him
with twenty-one guns. and then the pa
rade through the town, to the Seneca .Ho-
tel, a regiment of the guard leading, was
begun. The President rode in Hover
bedecked automobile.
From the mezzanine floor of the hotel
MIR. Taft spoke briefly to crowd OF 800.
He expressed regret at the death of Rep
resentative James Brock Perkins. He also
said in the course OF his talk:
IF any one here thinks that is an easy
lob, let him try 1t. 1t is not easy to get
there. my friends. and not easy after you
get there"
The trip to Rochester gave the people
of several towns a chance to cheer Mr..

Compared to Roosevelt.

For the first time since he was elected
President Taft sat through speech
which by innuendo compared him with
his predecessor, Col. Roosevelt, to the
latter's disadvantage. The speaker was
President w. e. Brown Of the New York
Central Railroad Company.
From the depths of disastrous in
dustrial, commercial and financial de-
preston" he said, ''in eighteen short
months the country. has been led to the
highest tide of prosperity, In which the
farmer the merchant, the manufacturer,
the worker and the railroad all share
in a fairly equitable degree"

If It Is Republican.

The rest of the Presidents speech was
devoted to the poor politics with which
his critics charged him. He said Of the
topics he had discussed that they were
party measures.
IF the Congress is to be treated as
a republican Congress- he said, they
will pass. 1 am hopeful that they will
We have done something if we do what
we promised to do
He said that If the platform pledges
are lived up to; If the republican idea
predominates, the record will go before
the people and their vote will tell wheth-
er the administration has done right or
wrong, "And that. said President Taft
in closing, lis the best politics of all"

was filled with members of the chamber

Credit to Pinchot.

The President was rather annoyed
at a stenographic error which crept into
the report OF his conservation speech at
Chicago Thursday. Anxious to give credit
to Clifford Pinchot for his great share in
the conservation movement, the President
referred to Mr.. Roosevelt. who was in
spired by Clifford Pinchot to that wonder

reference to the conservation movement"
The stenographers made II read: WHO
was it inspired Clifford Pinchot," leaving
an inference which was just the reverse
Of what the President had said.

Should "Get Together"

The President next declared himself in
favor of party regularity. He condemn
ed dissensions in Congress over less
important Matters He hoped they
would get together" and that if they
really favored helpful legislation they
would show the people that the party in
power has the sense to subordinate lesser
matters and get together on the things
that the people really want.
He called on Congress to play as do the
big elevens on a foot ball field-show
some team work"
The President spoke of the postal saw
ings bank bill and the bill to limit the
injunction power of the federal courts.
He took up the bill to which President
Gompers of the A. +. l.. has objected
He dismissed the objections by saying
that the administration had not tried to
please any particular interest.
I'm getting a little tired of hearing
people say that we ought to see II a
thing ought TO go through" said the
President. Il am in favor of consulting
every interest to see what it's interest
is
Next the President defied his critics,
and the big hall rang with cheers
Mr.. Taft next took up the conserva-
ton question.

ROCHESTER,, March 19.-President
Taft last night told an audience OF 1900
people in Convention Hall, the guests
of the chamber Of commerce, what the
Congress of the United States should do.
The republican party. if it controls
Congress- said Mr.. Taft, should pass
first the interstate commerce bill His
accent was on IF it controls Congress
He then explained his bill, the ad-
ministration bill, for the regulation OF
railroads. 1t is the one in which he is
most interested. He declared the amend
ments he proposed would prevent some
of the scandalous stock manipulations
with which you are all familiar" His
reference was to the stock acquisition
feature of the railway bill.
The President told his audience that
because he had been trying to recon-
mend law that would be fair to the
people and to the interests" he had
been criticised by some congressman who
differ from him and regarded him as

are taxpayers when they pay their
