SIR ROBERT BADEN-POWELL'S
SYSTEM OF TRAINING RECRUITS

SAN FRANCISCO, March 6.-Sir
Robert Baden-Powell, whose military
achievements in the South African
war won him his promotion to lieu
tenant general in the British army,
arrived here yesterday on his way to
visit Australia and New Zealand
The distinguished traveller told last
night at the Fairmont some of his eX-
periences in training recruits in the
British army, and in the training OF
the Boy Scouts along the same lines,
Responsibility has been the key
note of my work." he said. In the
South African campaign ! noticed
that men who had been trained to be
perfectly good soldiers in time OF
peace were very helpless when put
on their own resources in war. Sen
tries would walk their posts with the
same excellent military appearance
as on parade grounds. They would
challenge a Bushman in the proper
formula, but the Bushman found no
difficulty in sticking a spear through
the sentry.
when they were given their ra'
tons they were as likely as not to
mix the -four with water and drink
it"
1t was from these observations that
new system of training recruits
among the British has been adopted,
with the sanction of the King.
"Our method in teaching cavalry
recruits Baden-Powell said, mo
longer is to put them at once in the

FATHER M'QUAIDE'S ELOQUENT
TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT TAFT

SAN FRANCISCO, March g. Enthu-
siasm for President Taft found an
other outlet yesterday afternoon at a
meeting of the Taft Progressive Re
publican League of California, held in
the ballroom of the Palace Hotel 1t
gave additional expression to the
faith, loyalty and love Republicans of
California have for the one to whom
Father Joseph p. McQuaide gave the
name of The Man on the Hill" and
to whom Emmett Phillips of Sacra-
.mento referred as Our most majestic
American"
Words loyal to the President were
spoken by several who addressed the
meeting, but none more loyal than
those of Mrs. Abbie f. Krebs. presi-
dent of the Womens California Taft
Republican Club, who was present as
a visitor and who was invited by
Chairman Charles NJ Belshaw 10
make a short talk.
Says Women Are for Taft
A delegate from the body of the
house had just made a motion %
amend the report of the committee ION
organization, that women might be
included in the citizenship of the
league. 1t received no second, and at
the outset of her speech Mrs KreDs
said she was sure the ladies with
whom she was associated would pre-
fer to work alone, at least until such
time as every detail of their own Or
ganization had been perfected and
they were sure of themselves.
I'VE women are not standpatters. "
she said, neither are we progressives.
We know but one thing, and that is
to work, first, last and all the time,
for the denomination and election of
President Taft I know but one road
tic the White House, and that is the
one he has taken. He is an arbitrator
and a great man of oeace; he under

hands of a riding master, but to give
them horses and let them teach them
selves to ride for the first four days.
After that a riding master joins them
and gives his suggestions"
Following this Baden-Powell be-
came interested in training boys on
the same lines of individual RESPONSE
bility, until finally he was relieved
from active service in the army OF
the King in order that he might de-
vote himself to the latter work.
We do not care so much for num-
bers,' he said last night. we have
10000 in England now One OF the
largest organizations is in Chile. and
in Japan companies are being
formed"
When asked if he expected a strong
movement toward world peace from
this movement, he said that he did
not Immediately.
The nation that stops building bat
tleships from motives of economy is
likely to get into trouble" he said,
for some time to come, and until we
have learned the wisdom of settling
our difficulties by pacific agreement
and when that time comes it will be
pretty near the millennium"
This is Baden-Powells first visit to
San Francisco, He will be enter

night, at which the speakers Wilt be

Professor Willis recommended that
the act be taken up piecemeal and
diagnosed. Each phase should be
considered separately, he maintained,
in seeking for an adequate substitute
for it. He insisted that generalities
be avoided, and placed himself on
record as opposed to an all-powerful
commission as a big business tri-
bunal He urgeu that a definite and
specific substitute be framed, He
also referred in his paper to the pat
ent laws, which he termed made
quate and inherently weak He de-
clared that they furthered trusts, in
that monopolies bought up patents
and held them idle as means of
snufFiing competition.
James A. Emery Speaks.
James A. Emery, counsel for the
National Association of Manufacture
ers, spoke on the subject, Labor Or
CARNATIONS and the Sherman Act"
He declared that labor unions as well
as capitalistic combines should be in
cluded in the scope of trust legisla-
ton. He declared that the beef pack
ers in Chicago had as much right TO
combine and fix prices as have labor
unions to combine to obstruct or stop
the movement Of commerce.
This government cannot confer
upon one class of citizens the right to
form combinations" Mr. Emery said,
"and do acts which remain unlawful
and criminal when done by another
class of citizens. If the doorway of
special privilege is opened to the
trade unionists, it would offer equal
passage to every leader of disorder
who brought his followers to its
threshold. The Mormon cannot plead
his religious creed for exemption
/ from the law against bigamy, nor
should its convictions of the recti'
tude of its action Justify the issuance
to organized labor of a permit to halt
trade until its demands are granted
or ruin the trader who rejects them.
Others Talk on Trusts.
Gilbert NJ. Montague of New York
attacked the trust situation as q
medium working against the man Of
small business. If business is to be
conserved, he says, adequate and spe
cifc substitute for the Sherman &C
must be framed.
