DEFENSE OF VETO
IS TAF1'S THEME
President Again Explains His
Reasons, This Time to Au-
diences in Kansas.

Cherryvale. Kan. Sent. 25,-Pres-A
fdent Taft again challenged Will
lam Jennings Bryan to produce an
example OF. restraint of trade which
wouid not come within the perview
of the supreme courts Standard Oil
n American TOBACCO decisions, in
a short address from the rear plat
form Of his a here today.
The president characterized the
comments of Mr.. Bryan and 10Th
er gentlemen on the two decisions
as glib" and declared that IL they
could produce an instance of re-
straint of trade which would not be
inclu1ed in the meaning of these
decisions he would yield to the criti-
cisrn. The trust problem, the pres
ident said, through this decision is
reaching n nearing a solution"
independence, Kan, Sept. 26.-Presi-
dent Taft received a most friendly
greeting during his tour Of southern
Kansas today. Both at Coffeyville,
where he spent two OF the forenoon
hours, and at this place, MIR. Taft was
greeted by great crowds, excursion
rains from outside communities help
ing to swell the throngs.
The president chose the vetoes of the
tart I bills for his ilene today, ana re-
ceiyed an attentive hearing. He de-
clared he did not come to Kansas to
apologize for having exercised execu-
.s.s=.Ees:
list and the cotton tariff bills. but
merely to explain to the people face to
face. MI. Taft said his vetoes were
the result of deep seated conviction
declared anew that the tariff board
should have an opportunity to report
before any of the schedules of the ex-
listing laws are touched.
Picturesque Escort.
Mr.. Taft's day in Kansas began pic
turesquely. At Coffeyville he was met
by an escort of 200 horsemen uniformed
and peaked hats. They were the rep
resentative business and professional
men of the city. The president spoke
at the Plaza in Coffeyville in sight of
the bank that vas held up by the no
torious Dalton brothers many years
ago..
In the presidents escort was Jack
Cloehr, a determined looking mar with
curly black hair and dropping black
mostache. He killed W. of the Dalton
boys in the round up that followed
their last escapade.
The president will make IL speeches
before reaching Kansas City tonight to
address the National Conservation con
gress. Tuesday and Wednesday will
also be spent in Kansas. Then will
follow a two days swing through in
surgent Iowa.
Talks On Divorce.
The president spoke on the need of
uniform laws in the state for subjects
that annot be regulated by the federal
government. The president laid spec
ial emphasis on the need of uniform
marriage and divorce laws.
Its very AWKWARD said the presi-
dent. for a man to be married on one
side of a state line and not on the
other.
The trouble is when a man or wonl-
an feels that he or she has the option
to gain a separation and then conduct
themselves so as to lead to a breach.
Now we ought to have some uniform
law that would stiffen up and strength
en- the marriage laws. 1t is possible
to make divorce difficult and prevent
collision in obtaining it,

Makes Opening Talk On
Waste Of Soil.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 26.-Plain
words We're used by speakers at the
opening session of the third annual
National Conservation congress here
today in pointing out that the contin-
uation OF present day farming methods
win result calamitously for the coun-
try. MOI only a change in the treat
ment Of the soil, but of the country
people as we'll was urged. Only by
lettering social conditions OF the farm,
1t was declared, could the young per-
son be kept there. About $500 dele
gates attended the opening session.
Gov. Herbert S. Hadley. of Missouri,
in welcoming the delegates to the state.
urged advanced agricultural methods.
He asserted that fully 40 per cent Of
the land in this country is being
farmed SO that its productive quail
ties are decreased.
Henry Wallace Talks.
Henry Wallace, Of Des Moines, pres
ident of the congress. in replying to.
b welcome assailed the farmer as a
soil robber and pleaded for more scien-.
tiflc farming. He cfsed thai land in
the United States produced crops, but
one-half3
poorer Ian in Europe. In his plea for
a back to the farm" movement and a
betterment of social conditions in the
country, he said the cities uses up
men and families az it uses horses"
The solution Of the high cost of liv-
ing problem lies in better farming
methods, he said.

ma of the executive committee, deliv-
cred one of the responses to the well
coming speeches. Mr.. White will make
his principal address on Wednesday,.

address by Judge Ben b., Lindsay, OF
Denver, on THE Country Child VS.. the
City Child" Routine business occupied
the greater part Of the remainder of the
morning n afternoon sessions.
Lindsay on the Children.
Citing the fact that more than 2,000,-
600 children are born in his country
every year, Judge Lindsay told the DEL
egates that 100000 children annually
are brought into the courts as depend
ent and delinquent, and 1t was his belief
that it was the duty of the national
Legislature to pass a bill providing for
the establishment Of a children's bu-
reau in the department Of commerce
n labor.
The government spends annually
millions of dollars investigating the
have a somewhat analogous bureau
with the welfare of the child life of the
nation it would be doing no more for
them than we are now doing for cattle
and hogs"
The Judge pointed out that the va
rious activities that have grown out
of the cry '.Back to the soil" to promote
the pleasure, advantages and opportu-
mites Of farm life have not checked
the onward march to the cities.
unless some new and unexpected
change shall come, 1t is reasonable tc
assume that the nex generation will
find more than half the children of this
country in urban communities he as
serted.

uific farming as the only means by
which the cost of living can be reduced.
