Defence of Court Cheered.

President Taft never made a more elo-
quent or more effective speech than that
he made in Salt Lake city last night
And when, in his defence of the SUI
nreme Court Ire said: Il love judges and
love courts which stand rigidly TO their
duty FOR such j court typifies here on
earth ny ideal of what We shall meet
hereafter in heaven a just God" there
was a moment of silence and dramatic
intensity, followed by thunders Of sp-
piauso. for all Who heard him realized in
how large = measure William Howard
Taft had in those few words revealed his
own character and his ideals. When.
moment later. he explained how the do
crees Of the court against the Standard
OIL and the Tobacco trusts would be en-
forced. and referred 20 the glorious use
OF the right OF injunction" and how it
could be- used TO remedy evils and bring
about Justice there was another out
burst OF applause.
The President had a remarkably en-
tnusiastic reception in Boise. Four thou
sand children were in line. and sppar-
entity The entire population lined the
streets, while twenty thousand more
surrounded the stand in the public
square.
Governor Havley although a Demo-
GRAFT introduced Air TAFT in cordial
terms, saying that the recent executive
order. issued al the request Of the Gov
ernor and OF the Attorney General Of
the state, whereby 100000 acres Of the
public domain had been released from
the forest reserves. had "endeared Pres
ident TAFT 10 all the people in Idaho"
The President spoke OF the relations
of the government TO business, taking
much tho same line as bee did al salt
Lake city last night and at POcateIlo
this morning. His points We're cordially
appauded particularly his defence Of
the supreme Court against such attacks
as that made recently by Mr.. BRYAN.

Governor was left undisturbed. though the
batteries adjacent We're silenced.
The Turkish soldiers gave proof OF eX-
traordiuary courage Frequently they OK
posed themselves unnecessarily. II appears
from statements made by prisoners taken
that the Turks did not at first realize their
inferority. Tie government OF Constant

in them the conviction that Italy was an
insignificant country. weaker than Greece.
When they saw the imposing feet assem-

the Tobacco cases as two great dccis-

They wore two of the greatest trusts
that existed. and in the working out "
