President Roosevelt in vetoing the bill to
allow homestead settlers in the Kiowa pas

with view to establishing town sites held
that as the Interior Department had es-

OF the land to settlement it would be unfair
to the Indians to permit other town sites.
He vetoed the bill giving military status
to Patrick Coniin. who did civilian service
for the army during the civil war, because
1t required classification of records and con-
ferred favor on one Of a legion of camp
followers without any warrant whatever"

get a competent man. She did not see the

WHAT THE o N WORE.
81 Course the Story Teller Didn't
Really Mean just That.

A gentleman recently returned from
that quiet little Maryland resort,
Ocean City, has a tale to tell Of con-
ditions that ire really sensational.
And the worst Of 1t was that he did
not know they were sensational at all.
He was out calling the other evening,
and the conversation started with the
shirtwaist man, who. the returned
wanderer said, was to be found in
great quantities at the summer resort.
Then he told about the habit every
body down there had contracted Of
going without hats. This Is the way
he told 1t to an interested company:
"You see everybody down there
going about just the same. The men
never wear coats; they 60 about In
just their shirts and trousers, and the
women are just like them"

In Joplin was late there were 1900
persons at the station here.
Secretary Taft secured a good
nights rest and started the day Mon
day morning by addressing a throng
and talking principally on the trusts
and rate legislation. The city was
crowded with visitors, who had come
from various parts of Missouri and
from across the line in Kansas. Later
Secretary Taft was escorted to Webb
City, a nearby mining town, where
after luncheon he delivered his Sec
ond speech. Along the. trolley line
between the two cities he was cheered
by good sized crowds, made up in part
of zinc miners.
Early in the afternoon the party
started for Carthage, Mo, the county

Secretary Taft spoke a third time.

here. While on his way from Okla

unfavorable comments on what the
people believed was the meaning of
his Oklahoma speech in criticism OF
