R few opportunities came for him to
•"\u25a0lasp i!»" hands of 'TS men who had
*rath»Tod in the old Edwards mansion
'n lj!n»' street, selected as class headr
i \u25a0.(Uartors. fur he was immediately es
."orteii to Woodbridpe hall for the cor
porat/on meeting, then into the com
nioi'.s to spoak.to the young men who
wer«t about to be given their law school
sijoc-pfkins, and finally to Col legre hall,
where the medical school exercises
\u25a0vcr'e held.
Taft reached the city at 1 o'clock
unaccompanied. Mrs. Taft and Master
Charles Taft having- reached here on
sn earlier train and gone to the home
in Prospect street of Mr. and Mrs. "W.
W. Karnam. whose guests they are to
ho until Thursday. Taft was met at
the station by a delegation from his
\u25a0 •lass, and after exchange of greetings
he stepped into an automobile and was
whisked away to the Edwards house,
where about 40 "78 m^n -were ready to
errtend a welcoming hand.
CHKKBED BY ALIMM
Aft*>r a short stay Taft went to
\u25a0Woodbridge hall, where the corpora
tion was in session. He left this meet
ing a little later, walked across the
campus to the commons and, passing
in. was met with a cheer from those
who first got a glimpse of him. His
tdvent was. just at the conclusion of
• Rn 'address by ex-Senator Spooner of
Wisconsin.
The entire alumni rose and cheered
the secretary. Later on Taft spoke to
the young men. who In cap and gown!
«<at at a long table In front of him. |
The secretary subsequently returned 1
to the corporation meeting and at its
conclusion donned the robes of a doc
lor of law and walked to the law
school. As he -entered the auditorium
John TV. Foster was making an ad
dress, but the audience arose and
cheered wildly.
PAt the close of these exercises Taft.
companied by President Hadley and
escorted, by the faculty of the medical
school, walked to College hall, where
lie attended the exercises. Oti the step
of Osborne hall were gathered groups
of Yale merj back to their reunions.
\u25a0 most of thoin in fantastic garb, and
those lustily cheered him. At College
• liall the secretary was joined by his
brother, Horace L». Taft of Watertown,
\u25a0 < "onn., " who accompanied him? back to
Wood bridge hall when the exercises
cv«re ended. This, fn effect, ended
Taft's first official day at Yale.
Ui\ E« ADVICE TO LAWVEUS
At i' 1*"1 *" luncheon of the alumni of the
law school Taft was greeted wi|h
• liters. During. his address he, said:
The administration of <Timinal law of
the countrs is defective. Members of
the l>ar <1'» noi recognize that their
duty *s not only to the court, but to:
tlieir clients at largp. ' A lawyer is
i»«>T jtistiiied in r<»sartjngrT to the tricks
"of a pettifogger just to indicate that
i -.if man sitting beside him is his
. '!i<--nt. Wo are having a general moral
.\u25a0-.-ivak'-ning. and the members of the
i-.;ii- need that awakening just as cer
tain as men in other walks of life.
• We cannot afford to sacrifice every
thing for success, nor permit loyalty
t*. a client to carry one beyond the
line marked by duty to the court. If
you have opportunity to take criminal
«;ises, to become a prosecutor, take
i hern, for criminal law develops the
recognition of the importance of .facts.
I venture to say that -when presenta
tion of facts is needed, the men who
have had experience in criminal cases
>liow greater skill.
PP c "ecrctary Taft and General Wright

TAFT WILL FOLLOW
ROOSEVELT'S PATH
Gives His Conception of Duties
and Requirements of
NEW YORK. June 22.— Secretary.
William H. Taft has written the fol
lowing article on his, conception of the
presidency for th£ current issue of Ol
iier's Weekly:
In the four years that I have been a mem
ber of ilie cabinet 1 have become familiar
eiiouvu with the responsibilities and burdens
of tlie presidency to know that no man can
afford unduly to seek that great office. If be
is attracted Ijf honor and power alone, without
the Lop* of, being useful, he Is unworthy of
the honor and unfit Tor the use of the power.
He must prefer for \be sake of his own peace
or' mind never to be president to being a poor
president. Confident that the platform on which
li" stands is for the best i lntarest of tbe na
tiau. tie Is untrue to himself and his supporters
if he tloi-s not fight valiantly for election after
he accepts the leadership. But of course he
must draw the line at any compact which will
nut leave him free of promises and of the coa
tro! of any faction.
Tbe president's duties, clearly outlined by the
constitution, have grown broader In their in
terpretation with the growth of ' the country.
He should be in the prime of years, health and
vigor. Tbe capacity for hard work is a bet
ter equipment than genius in mastering the es
sentials of all tbe departments of the govern
ment and undergoing the strain of countless
Interviews. He should look not only to those In
office, but to those out of office, in all branches
of private activity, for information and opinion,
that be may arrive at the truth when he" Is
surrounded by the conflict of Interests which
come to him with the fair words of the special
leader.
LOVELIEST MAX IX LAXD
In many senses, though tbe most sought
after, be is tbe loneliest man in tbe United
States. Elected directly by tbe people, tbelr
representative bead, from them. In the sober
thought of the majority, he will get bis best
counsel. Though Indifference or preoccupation
with private affairs may keep them from at
tending primaries or scanning closely either
candidates or measures, they can center on the
president as their instrument for the expression
of their wishes.
He should be always near tbe people in
thought and as near them in person as his
position will permit. In common with the peo
ple, he is human and he must ask their charity
for his mis takes. When they have ceased to
helieve in his sincerity and uprightness of pur
pose his is a cheerless task. Once convneed
that be has divined and hi carrying out their
real wishes, neither elated by any outburst of
applause nor diverted by any outburst of cen
sure, he must proceed unwaveringly, always by
lawful methods, to the accomplishment of the
popular will.
Fnnn Washington- he may learn nobility,
fortitude and forthrightness. Lincoln's life and
*!>«>e<-b<»R must be bis tsource of inspiration when
lie is misunderstood.' and' he has to say to
himself "patience and cheer." It !s easier since
we Jia<i Lincoln than it was before to be a good
president. He set a standard.
PEOPLE XVllilj RESPOND •
it remained for Boose velt tcr prove how the
P«>ople will respond to a strong, true leader
ship, wlirn the hour has come tor great re
form's. The policies which tie Inaugurated must
be continued and developed. They are right
and thoy are the policies of th« people. Kor
that reason his successor !nay well disregard
aDy charge of laok of originality if he does
not make an entirely new program of his own.
A president at this time hasvpnrk before him
clearly «J«'fin»d. The enforcement of the law
oqually against high an«l low. the powerful and
weak, should be his first thought. The danger
to our country- from laxity or favoritism in
this Is the greatest one we have to face. Tbe
conservation of our national resources and their
development for the us* of alt along the lines
of equal opportunity, too, must command bis
Immediate attention. It should be his aim to
give high tone to bis administration, as Presi
dent Roosevelt has. by surrounding himself by
men of prominence, enthusiasm in public in
terest and of the cleanest and most effective
methods.

practical seclusion today and to a great
extent free from official cares President
Rooseveft. at Sagamore Hill spent the
hottest hours reading and attending to*"
only such official business as required
his infmediate attention when Secretary
Loeb called. Late in ,the day the pres

A movement is afoot among some of
the citizens of the village to petition
the president to ask Secretary Taft to
make a speech to the people when he
visits the president at Sagamore Hill
this week. -.~- . . .
The president will have nothing to
say regarding the report from Boston
that he has interceded with President
Eliot of Harvard university In behalf
of the two members of Harvard var
sity crews who were dismissed, f He
will neither affirm nor deny the matter.
From Secretary Loeb nothing could
be learned regarding his possible an
pointment by the subcommittee as
chairman of the national committee.
It is believed that, during Secretary
Taft's visit some course of . action in
the matter will be decided upon.

CROWD LAUDS TAFT
Largest Assemblage in South
Berkeley Cheers With
League Leaders i
BERKELEY. June -22.— William, H.
Taft and James S. \ Snerman '.were
cheered to:the echo tonight in Lincoln
hall. South Berkeley, when Francis ?J.
Heney, : Frank Devlin of -Vallejo; state
president-, of . the Lincoln-Roosevelt
league; vMax Thelen and; Friend' W.
Richardson spoke, to the largest ' t crowd
which ever gathered In ' South Berkeley.
It was "the ratification' of .republican
national convention's choice: of "candi
dates for the presidency, and vice presi
dency.
The policies of Roosevelt were ex
•tolled by /the speakers, who. said 'that
Taft, the standard bearer of the repub
lican party, would not only carry out
the Roosevelt policy, but .".would rise
above his platform and * Inaugurate ;.ad
dltional reforms for the benefit of the
people. • -"\u25a0• \u25a0
- Francis J. Heney struck the keynote
of the meeting by declaring that, the
people, not the railroads, -should con
trol the; government.
HEXEY WIXS OVATION
Heney >»s received with, tremen
dous applause when he denounced
Herrin as controlling the' state legis
lature and his pernicious in
fluence to the legislative halls of the
United States congress. "
"The direct primary is the will of
the people, which will fr.ee us from the
slavery of the corporations." declared
Heney, and his words were greeted
with enthusiasm. -
"We will/ then be the sovereigns of
the country and not Herrin* and the
gang who are under the domination of
the railroad power. Taft will carry
out the policies of Roosevelt in this
and other matters, v He will , preserve
for the people of the state of Califor
nia those magnificent .'waterfalls which
generate power enough to do-the work
of thousands of men., '^-j'
"The electricity thus generated will
be one of the greatest factors in mak
ing California the foremost state in
the union. It will force the railroads
to come to time; it will f orce : the
Standard oil company to lower its rate
for the prices of oil, "and will stop the
rebating habit."
CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE
Frartk Devlin, who -followed Heney,
paid a tribute to the leaders on the na
tional republican ticket by j declaring
that their election by the convention
was not the choice of Roosevelt, but
the choice of the people whom Roose
velt served.
"It is the policy of tho party and not
the men who represent the ideals of the
republican party. Tt is the manhood
and womanhood of the United States,
and ours will be a glorious victory at
tho election in the fall when Taft and
Sherman, whom we indorse this evi
ing, are the choice of the people at th*
polls." \u25a0» ;
Max Thelen, secretary of Uie Berke- j
ley Lincoln-Roosevelt league, and ;
Friend W. Richardson, who organized
the first Taft club in California, made
brief addresses, predicting victory for
the republican standard bearers. .

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
SACRAMENTO, June ' 22.— Governor
Gillett today appointed W. J. Jamison

the death of Judge B.N. Smith. 'He
also issued a commission to T. L. Lewis
to fill a vacancy on the superior bench
of San Diego county.
Governor Gillett did not find it an
easy task to appoint a successor to
Judge Smith. For weeks he had been
searching for a man for the position
and had finally decided 'to name Whea
ton A. Gray, formerly of the second
district appellate court of/ San • Fran
cisco. He offered the positfon to Judge
Gray, but this morning he received a
letter from: the San Franciscan declar
ing that he could not accept. The news
that the Judgeship was offered to Judge
Gray will be a surprise to many of
Gillett's friends, as Gray was appointed

Unworthy Candidate Jor
I"/-.-. ' - ' -.i ...... \u25a0
COLUMBUS. Ohio. June . 22.'— Attor
ney General Wade H. Ellis, who was a
member of the resolutions committee
of the republican .national ; convention
ahd y chief ;; author ,-. J of ::- : the:',; platform
adopted, in a statement tonight' replies \
to i criticisms of the ' platform . made by
"William J. Bryan; and denies emphati
cally that the draft" of the platform as
published" before^ the convention .was
changed "with the ( Intention "to ; dis
1 please or. disappoint the president or
Secretary Taft." The. attorney; gen
eral's statement; in part,' follows: .'.
'-Of i the seven omissions he J (Bryan) refers to.
six are .In no • sense \u25a0 issues before the • people at
this , time, \ nor has there been any . attempt . to
make them such by the J administration.' nor by
any influential element in -the party. >The seT
enth \u25a0 concerns Injunctions. Upon - this ' subject
Mr.- Bryan's criticism exhibits hfs nsual reckless
ness of statement and readiness .to assume tbat
hlf> own lack . of . information might be ,the pre
vailing condition. ..' ' \u25a0"
UNWORTHY A CANDIDATE
' The charge that the republican declaration j
with respect to the use of the writ of Injunction j
was designed to "deceive the laboring men," Is
unworthy of a candidate for the presidency. -and
the further charge that „ this • plank , merely, de
clares 1 the. | existing law, and will give, no relief
in, those cases in which there lias been an abuse
of ." direction or the apprehension of it. Is un
worthy of any lawyer who ; has .examined this
question. The anti-Injunction resolution •Is \u25a0 a
frank, clear statement of the republican party's
position on a question on which others have been
attempting to deceive labor. .
\u25a0 The. sole basis of any rational complaint as to
the \u25a0 issuance \u25a0 of injunctions « in labor cases has
been the use of the writ without notice and the
long delays In some Instances which . have inter
vened before a hearing of the case. - The present
statute does not require any notice at all before
the granting of a temporary order, and It U
entirely within the discretion of the court to
postpone the bearing to any time the Judge may
see fit.
. The Ej republican plank simply \u25a0 declares that
notice shall always be given . unless an Irrepa
rable , Injury . will result . from '•\u25a0 delay and In
that case there shall be a speedy hearing-pro
vided. In other words,: the' platform declaration
Is designed. to give assurance that what Is/now
the- general practice in the . federal courts shall
be made universal by statute in order, that here
after no cause of complaint or misapprehension
shall remain.
This may not satisfy. the extremists on either
hnnd. but it was not expected to do that. < It
will meet the approval of every right thinking
man. whether an employer or an employe. . N6
party can lose 'by ' bravely , taking a stand for
what -is right. • whoever complains. Just- as none
"•;< ii profit by taking a stand for what Is wrong,
whoever applauds. .;.,',
WILL RESENT ATTACK
Mr. Bryan objects further to tht. phrase In
the injunction plank which proclaims confidepre
in the integrity of the courts. It is true, per
bapß, that the vi-onvention which Is yet to meet
at Prnver. rather than that. which has Just ad
journed nt Chicago, should express faith in the
Integrity of the courts: but In tl^w of. tUc
Democratic attack in 189fi and the fact ithat
the same forces .which .then . controlled that
party, are once again In supreme command, it
would seem entirely appropriate" for the re
publican party not only to t remove • any pos
sible *-au«e of • complaint . in . the: use of the
writ of Injunction, but to make^it clear . Miaf.it
will resent again, as it did in ISP6, any attempt
to assault the 'Judiciary. ~ \
~AII tbat any one vrants is that powers of the
federal . foiirts with respect to,. th»»- use of -the
Injunction shall be RccuratHy defined bj statute
to the ; piul tliat all. occasion for oomplalnt In
labor eases, which haply liavr b**>n rare in the
pa»t." shall disapppar altogether ' In tbe futurp.
The republican .. plank ; points . to • s simple and
straiehtforward way of achleTln)? this purpose.

Wherever this has . not j been 5. attained already

is - free •of disadvantages, but of \u25a0 the two own

satisfactory. -'.."."'' \u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0 \u25a0-: ,
Our . constitution and laws are / especially \u25a0 un

.' Foreseeing:: this and 'realizing that the only

close a copy of this law. I also inclose a copy
