PRESIDENT TAFT'S SPEECH
AT GEOGRAPHIC DINNER

We in this country depend upon the
generosity of our millionaires for doing
the things that we do not think the gov
ernment ought to do, and I suggest that
one very useful place in which to spend
the income from these $1O.000,00O funds
that are being distributed with such law
ishness would be a scientific survey in
the Philippines.
Another thing 1 congratulate the Ma
tional Geographic Society upon is that
Congress Is taking slow steps. but hope
sure steps. to recognize in an appropriate
way the man who went to the north pole.
You who are scientific members of tnis
society understand the value of what he
did, and all of us who have read can un-
derstand the tremendous labor that he
undertook and the amount Of inconceiv-
able endurance that he had in winning
that place which, when We find it, does
not seem to be particularly useful except
by way of satisfying what had thereto
fore been a most dangerous curiosity.
I sincerely hope that Congress will rec
ognize the fact that Commander Peary
has done something of which every
American ought to be proud. and which,
if he had been an Englishman. or Ger
man. or a Frenchman, would have been
long ago recognized by a promotion to
some permanent honor and by something
more substantial that would have en-
abled him to enjoy that honor without
working.
My friends. 1 did not intend to make a
speech any more than Ambassador
Bryce. but I cannot close without max
ing a remark or two in respect to some
thing in which the National Geographic
Society is certainly interested. because
when it is completed it will change
geography and it will make the Atlantic
and the Pacific oceans very much the
same. Ambassador Bryce visited Pan
anna two or three weeks before l did
He sent me some suggestions with refer
ence to geological Investigations that
ought to be made there. and having the
power without consulting Congress. to
order geologist there. I did it. and he
discovered a condition of things on the
isthmus that will certainly be most in
teresting to biologists. and is certainly
most valuable to us in the construction
of the canal with reference to the slides
that may be anticipated in the deep cut
at Culebra.
I am glad to be able to say that that
work is going on. and that certainly be-
fore January. 1915. l hope quite a number
of months. we shall have straits going
through the isthmus for the canal will
be 800 feet wide in the narrowest part.
and will in almost all of its length be
500 and 1.GC0 feet wide. We shall have
straits there that shall carry out the
idea that was conceived in the time OF
Charles V. when the isthmus was first
discovered.
1t has taken 400 years to carry out that
idea. and it must thrill the. veins and
the nerves of every American to go down
there and see that work and realize what
this country is doing there with the aid
of its army engineers and with the or
Eanization which moves as one machine
through forty miles to cleave that 18TH
mus and make it an instrument of COM
merce between the oceans. I thank you.
The Washington herald., 1911-01-15
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies, and Gentlemen I
the Geogr aphic Society:

Mr.. Chairman. Ladies. and Gentlemen of
the Geogr aphic Society:
1t is always a great comfort to be at
a meeting presided over by Gen. Wilson.
He conducts it as military man. l have
always thought that even the Speaker
might learn something from Gen. Will
son.
l am very much honored to be made a
member of the Geographic Society. l. do
not think I deserve it, but not for that
reason will l decline the honor and the
membership.
One of the things that has been i'm
pressed upon my mind tonight and last
night and the night before is that !
have discovered another method of vast
ing the resources of the world. l have
listened i'm this hall to the denunciation
of the nations who are engaged in plung-
ing the world into bankruptcy by their
ornaments. but | venture to suggest that
there is another way by which the ma
tions are Fastening this result. and that
is by too much banqueting. | suggest to
the Geographic SocietY-at least to those
who are engaged in earnest research
that they make certain statistics as to the
amount of money! won't add as to the
amount of nervous drain upon the brains
of speakers-that is wasted in banqueting.
1t is all right if you only have to speak
once a month. but if your position is
such that you are expected to respond
every time that you are invited to a
meal, you may perhaps SympathiZe with
what ] am saying.
One has a constant regret for what he
loses as he sees the opportunity pass by
in life. AS l stand in this presence and
look at Mr.. GroSvenor l am constantly re-
minded of the valuable information that
he is giving to the public through the
Geographic Magazine that 1 have to pass
over because ! do not have time to read
il: and if this association is maintained
for the purpose of carrying on that maga-
zine, l am sure it can justify its exist
ence.
The British Amba SSador has referred to
a number of places to which the Geo
graphic Society might direct its attention.
/ wish to add two nore-one is Sumatra
and the other IS the Philippines. We are
doing a good deal in the Philippines in the
way of attempting to develop that coun-
try. but there is a great opportunity for a
scientific survey of the islands with re-
speS to a great many data that would
give exact Information that We do not
now have.
In the enthusiasm of desire to do
everything in The Philippines at once. I
suggested and urged the passage of a
bill for the appropriation of $l0,000.00o to
make an investigation in those islands
and make them complete according to
scientific ideas. But after I had found a
great deal If difficulty in getting two or
three millions out of the government fer
the purpose of helping us along with our
education. and with other things / con-
cluied that that sort of survey was in
the nature of a luxury. and might be post
poned for many years. But luXurieS are
to he reached through private contribu-
ton.

champagne over the bow of the new
battle ship named for that State and
Sc mt it gliding gracefully down the ways
into the Delaware at the yards of the
New York Shipbulding Company here.
On the stand with Miss Macon were
high officials of the Navy Department
and officers of all grades. resplendent in
their uniforms, as we'll as a sprinklinS
o. Washington and Philadelphia society.
Owing to the hurried arrangements made
for the launching, the State Of Arkansas
was not officially represented.
The ship has a displacement Of 5000
tons. the next in size being the British
battle ships Conqueror. Monarch, and
Orion. each having a displacement of
- 800 tons.
When completed, the vessel will carry
an armament of twelve Finch guns as
4 main battery. and will have more
power and destructive force than any
vessel in the navy. 1t is even question
able whether the new 27,OcO-ton battle
ships authorized at the last session Of.
Congress will have so powerful a bat
terry.
The Arkansas will be equipped with
the military fire control masts, which
have become a feature in the navy since
these maSts withstood the test of gun
fire on the monitor Florida some years
ago The vessel will also be equipped
with apparatus for carrying 400 tons Of
fuel oil.
In length over all she will also ex-
coed any other. being 554 feet; her
breadth at the load water line being -
feet She will have a bunker capacity
of $500 tons, independent of the 400 tons
in the oil tanks.
The crew of the new vessel will in
clude l,G30 men and S6 officers. exceeding
by 100 the number of men carried by the
largest battle ships of our fleet to-day.

The earliest mention Of Robin Hood In
literature is by Langland. in the middle
of the fourteenth century. not 10 years
after the date given for his death. and
the manner of the references makes it
plain that ballads concerning him were
then familiar to all.
The theory that Robin Hood was no

supported by an alleged epitaph over

As We see him in the old ballads, it is
