He vas not a scholar merely; he I f ^ was a man of the world. He had traveled, was familiar with the i life of courts, was on terms of intimate friendship with many of the most distinguished persons of his day. He had a commanding intellect, a literary style which was the envy and admiration tfiaafifil of the learned. He knerw law as well as he did theology, French as well as he did Latin. Hie grasp of a wide range of subjects, as well as his attention to detail, wen-e things to marvel at. Add to these an Inexhaustible patience and a bulldog tenacity of purpose, a vivid human interest and an amazing capacity for work, and "we begin to understand how it <was that this penniless and sickly foreigner, who came to Geneva in the first instance so utterly unknown and without prestige as to figure in the records merely as "a Frenchman." ended by setting his stamp ro ineffaceably upon the place that It remains there even to our own day.

No greater deluslon ever crept Into a human brain than that wanton extrava?rr3ggfagjs gance Is Justified on the ground that it gives employment, for the demoralizing and debauching influence of it all upon those uselessly employed infinitely outweighs any possible good it may do. ^ It is true that many poor women, girls and children are enabled to eke t out a miserable existence by spending years of precious time and energy AV working upon a piece of lace embroidery or a thousand-dollar gown to be worn only once or twice by a rich woman. But Is there no better destiny for human beings made in God's image than to wear their lives out and ruin their eyesight, as is done in numerous instances, in making that which appeals only to the vanity of women, many of whom. In all their lives, never earned the equivalent to the food which they consume In a single month? The vulgar flaunting of wealth, which we see on every hand, is a constant suggestion, a perpetual temptation to the poorer classes to strain every K nerve to keeD ud auDearances.

I PRESIDENTjrwfrTOUlfj Enthusiastic Thousands Greet Him 1 On His Western Trip. After making one of the longest J jumps of his trip and traveling for { twenty-five hours through Oregon and i the northern half of California, Pre*- 1 ident Taft arrived at Sacramento, j Cal., Monday night at 7:10 o'clock. ? The President was entertained at din- t ner, was taken for an automobile ride 1 through the city and made an address in the State Capitol grounds. j He selected for the principal feature of his speech the conserva- ? tion of natural resources, in which he < declared anew that before many of J the Roosevelt polities of conservation can be carried i::4o effect, confirmatory and enabling legislation must be 1 secured and he pledged himself to US9 all his power to induce Congress to pass the laws necessary. As he was crossing from the Oakland to San Francisco the army transport Thomas was setting sail for the Philippines and by the President's request the revenue cutter Golden Gate, on which he was a passenger, was drawn up alongside the 1 liitr vessel the oi.lnc ? ?-? lines with soldiers and the families of officers. < On the bridge of the transport the ^ Philippine constabulary band was ! Irawn up and was playing, "Hail to ^ the Chief' as the President shouted ^ icross the water to khaki-clad sol- * liers: "Good-bye, boys; I wish you a 1 pleasant voyage." * Answering cheers came back to the President. i "Does it make you feel homesick, t Mr. President?" asked a member of ] the President's party. i "Indeed, it does," replied Mr. i Iaft, "and I would give anything if j 1 were going with them." 1 One of the most pathetic incidents \ of the President's trip marked his i stay in Berkley. He passed in re- i view of the pupils of an institution i for the deaf, dumb and blind. The i tribute of flags waved with unseeing ?yes, of silent nods of the dumb, and 1 cheers from the blind deeply impress- < .J i 1- _ * 1 l-u me I'resmcni. ! An all-day sta.ee ride over thirty- j four milps of mountain road brought 1 President Taft Thursday night to this i little sierra retreat, eight miles from j the entrance to the Mariposa grove of 1 big tree.4 whither the Chief Executive 1 started at sunrise Friday. j News that mountain lions were in j festing the park held out hope of ad- i venture for a time, but not even the i tracks of one were seen on the road. The President declared that Thursdav was one of the most enjoyable days ] of his life. It was the first glimpse of ] the Yosemite and the impressive sur- | foundings, Uie bracing mountain air. ? the freeddm from speech-making all j < contributed to the pleasure of the first | day of roughing it in the Sierras. j < His constant coach companion was t j John Muir, the noted naturalist and i ] c xplorcr. | ] He alighted from the stage during a j ] portion of the trip and walked a mile ! j or more up the mountain road. It I , gave him a splendid appetitie for the t picnic luncheon of fried chicken, pota- | toes, fruit and jfdlv served in the j 1 Grouse ercck pine forest. ! ] The President arrived at Glacier ( Point Friday evening. The drive from ] Wawona. where lie sjvit tlio forenoon ^ visiting the Mariposa big tree groves,' ( was over twenty miles of mountain | , road and the President was ready for' ( lied immediately after dinner. He arose before dawn and started for the seqnoia trees in a dense fog, which quickly cleared, however. He was 1 deeply impressed with the immense i trees, especially in the upper groves. He was photographed at the base of 1 the "Grizzly Grant," the biggest and t oldest tree in the world; and he was 1 snapped in the stage as it passed through the trunk of the Wawona, one of the largest of the forest mon- j archs. * The President 'a speech at Fresno, ( Ca.. Sunday was in reality another J Sunday sermon, the third he has preached since his trip began. His text, quoted from memory, was * "He Who Conquereth Himself is Greater Than He Who Taketh a * City," and from it the President drew 1 the lesson that popular government ' must always be a failure unless it is based upon sound common sense and ^ the self-restraint that goes to make the good loser. He drew an anology ( between the American people in this < respect and those people who in their j attempts at self-government follow j an election with a revolution. On his way here President Taft at- ' tended morning service at the Prcsbv- i terian church at Merced. t A feature of the President's visit j ( to Fresno was the presentation of , good will from the Japanese residents. , "We hail you, sir, as the honored , Chief of a great nation which we } are triad is on the friendliest terms , with ours," they said, "and we also rejoice that our beloved country, | Japan, has the honor and great priv- I ilejfe of reciprocating such" fraternal f regard."
