DOWNWARD REVISION
INTO PRIVATE LIFE
PARTY Is COMMITTED TO ISSUE
SAYS PRESIDENT.
Taft Is eeseged by Delegation Of
20 Congressman, Who Declare
Their Political Lives Are
In Jeopardy.

Washington, D. C.-The White
House was stormed by delegation
of twenty-three Republican congress
men, who spent an hour and a half
with the president telling him their
political lives depended on the protec-
ton Of raw material. 1t has become
pretty generally known about the cap
ital that the president favors the free
entry of hides, oil and coal, and ma
terial reductions in lumber, etc.
Many of the congressman who COM
posed the delegation represented the
south. They told the president they
had been elected on the theory that
they would protect raw materials in
which their people were interested
and that If the party failed to do this
their districts would return to the
Democratic column.
Mr.. Taft listened patiently to all
that was said He chaffed the con-
gressmen good naturally at times.
Representative Hayes Of California
made a speech in favor of protecting
iron ore, for instance, but the presi-
dent said he suspected Mr.. Hayes of
being interested chiefly in lemons.
The range of the discussion cover
ed every variety of raw material and
when it was all through with the
president stated his position, declaring
that the Republican party is commit
ted to a downward revision; that he
has never had any other idea of the
Chicago platform, and that he person
ally promised a downward revision to
the people. This statement is inter-
preted in some quarters here as a di-
rect notifi cation to the conferees on
the tariff bill that if the measure they
finally agree upon does not constitute
a material reduction in specific du-
ties the president will exercise his
power of veto.
Protection Is Paramount.
He said he' felt strongly the call of
the country for a downward revision
within the limits of the protective
principle, and he hoped to be able to
respond to that call as he heard it, as
well in the interests of the party as
of the country.
The spokesman of the visitors were
Representative Young of Michigan,
who dwelt on the necessity of placing
a high duty on iron ore; Mondell OF
Wisconsin, who was particularly in
terested in coal; Gains of West Vlr-
ginia, speaking for coal and iron;
Langley of Kentucky, for coal and
lumber; Cowles of North Carolina,
for lumber; Austin of Tennessee, for
coal, iron and lumber, and Hayes OF
California.
Mr.. Langley put the matter square
" up to the president as a question
of political expediency. I'VE come
from Democratic states, some OF us,
said Mr.. Langley, but we are elected
as Republicans who believe in the
protection Of the raw materials. II
we fail to protect our constituents we
will be revised downward'-into pri-
vate life"
President Taft remarked dryly that
he was as much interester in Repuo-
lican success as any one could be.

A CLOSE SHAVE
Many of Them Happening Every Day
 but Soon Forgotten.

Close slaves would be of more fre- quent occurrence but for the tender faces of many men, which will not per init of shaving often. Heretofore, nothing has been said in these columns about poslam, new skin discovery. in connection with It's use after shaving. It's publicity and sales have been con- fined almost exclusively to it's remark able properties as an eczema cure: it stops the itching at once and cures the worst cases in a few days. While the application of poslam after shaw ing is one of it's minor uses, such as for pimples, the complexion, etc, shavers will find it a revelation, as it does for abrasions, roughness and severe scrapings what 1t does for all manner of skin difhculties-heals and cures in few hours. It is the only article possessing real antiseptic and curative value that has ever been ex- plotted for this purpose, and will soothe and tone up the skin as no toilet prep aration could possibly do.
 Poslam can be had for 50 cents at any reliable druggists, particularly Jacobs Pharmacy, who make a spe- cialty of it. Or the Emergency Labo- ratories, No. 32 West Twenty fifth street, New York city, will send a trial supply free by mail to any one who will write for 1t. This is sufficient to show results in "A hours.
