PAY TRIBUTE
| TO. MAJ. BUTT
President Taft Attends Memorial
Services Held at
Augusta.

Augusta, Ca, May 4-President Taft
and Augusta paid tribute today to
Maj. Archibald w. Butt, the presi.
dents personal aide who was lost in
the wreck of the Titanic.
Augusta was Maj. Butts home and
for several hours today business was
practically suspended while memorial
services were conducted in the grand
oprea house. Flags were at half mast
on most of the public buildings, and
thousands of persons crowded around
the opera house anxious to hear Presi-
ident Taft speak.
Other speakers on the program in
addition to the president were Maj.
JOS B. Cumming of Augusta, and the
Right Rev. Thomas F.. Gailor, bishop
of Tennessee.
President Taftsreached Augusta at s
o'clock this morning. He was break
fast guest of Mayor Barrett. After
reception at the Commercial club
this afternoon he left for Wash
ington.
The president was visibly effected by
the tributes paid to Maj. Butt. There
were tears in his eyes as he called up
memories of the man who was his aide
ever since he entered the White House
and who had travelled thousands OF
miles with him.
Mr. Taft made only short speech
but became near breaking down twice.
"Never did / know how much he
was to me until he was dead" said the
president. Lacking nothing of self
respect and giving up nothingh he owed
to himself, he conducted himself with
a singleness of purpose and to the
happiness and comfort of the president
who was his chief. To many fine
qualities he added loyalty and when
he becameione,of my family he was as
a son or BROTHER
Mr.. Taft told how he met Maj Butt
first in the Philippines and later as
aide to President Roosevelt. He dwelt
on Maj. Butts devotion to Mr.. Roose-
and himself.
sit has always seemed to me,' said
the president, "that Archie never mar
rie:' because he loved his mother so;
the greatest sorrow of his life was when
she left him."
MIR. Taft concluded with a word
more as to Maj. Butts spirit of self
sacrifice.
"Self-sacrifice," said he, ''had be-
come part of his nature If Archie
conld have selected his time TO die. he
would have taken the one God gave
him."

PENURlOUS POLICIES.

Commissioner Edwards of New York,
discussing the penurious policy of

1T reminds me of Grimes. Grimes,
you know. was rich Pike county
farmer. One dreadful winter day he
was discovered on a lonely mountain
path digging away like mad in the
frozen snowdrifts. Though it was
zero weather, Grimes was stripped to
his undershirt, and amid the white
snow clouds flying from his shovel he
could be seen all red with effort and
dripping with perspiration.
What in the world is he doing?"
a traveller asked, as ne looked with
awe at the great holes and tunnels cut
by Grimes in the snow.

which he received an honorable dis

He reenlisted the next year in the
