| Week 10 salt Lake. Hc spoke inst
TO the old people in the Tabernacle in
the forenoon. his theme very appropri'
ateIy being world peace We say
appropriately because tho minds Of old
! people turn more naturally 10 peace and
against strife than do tho minds of
those who arc Young. In this speech
the President very naturally referred
explicitly TO bis unreserved arbitration
treaty defending it powerfully, and
showing conclusive reasons why 1t
should be approved bv the L. s. Senate,
in spite of the fallscious objections
urged by Senators. Ii is a speech which
he has delivered elsewhere. and always
TO the satisfaction of those who hear
it, The President went into an analy
SIS OF the Senate opposition. showing
| that this opposition is not we'll founded.
and that. in the interests OF the peace
Of the world and the advancement Of
| humanity. il is time TO end strife with
war. and for all the civilized nations of
| judicial arbitration, and complete sep
aration from the archaic barbarism of
battles. The speech was received with
the hcartiest approval; and the Pres
ident has every reason to be satisfied
with the warmth of his reception by the
old people in the tabeynaclc.
From Temple Square the President
went 70 the Alta Club, whore he took
luncheon, and INDUCED in pleasant rem
iriscenccs of his experiences In Manila,
following this by eulogium of the view
had from the top of the Utah Hotel. He
Justly explained that this view gives the
KEY 10 the whole idea of what was
found here in the original conditions,
and Of the great things that have been
wrought from the first TO conquer the
arldness.
AT Fort Douglas. where the President
next proceeded. he was received with
military houors, and referring TO the
coming departure of the regiment TO the
Philippines. expressed his feeling that
he would like nothing better than to
go along And felcitously referring
TO the possibility of his not succeeding
himself, he said. 81 am going to bc
relieved from duty next year, think,
so | may get a chance.
From the Fort tho President proceed
cd 10 the Fair grounds. where, IN a
speech before as many thousands as
could be admitted, he defended his We
toes Of the wool bill. the free list, and
the combined cotton, chemicals, and
metals tariff measure. As 10 the first,
he reiterated his points made in his
message vetoine il. that the wool revis-
ion did not take into consideration the
facts in the case, and was so defect
i've in its revenue producing quality
that the treasury would have a dark
outlook if il had become law. AS to
the free list. the defeat Of the rcciproc
left us absolutely up in the air on
that proposition. His veto of the cot
ton, steel, and chemical combination
bill WIS so absolutely convincing that
everybody acknowledged its force, even
those who had voted for the bill no
longer being willing to defend it. As
a matter Of fact, the vetoes themselves,
however. are their own strongest pos
siblc vindication, save only as 10 the
free list. where the action Of Canada
on reciprocity which has been had since
the veto was sent in, absolutely de-
prives that proposition of any defense
whatever.
