PRESIDENT TAFT'S VISIT.

The visit of President Taft to
Colorado has been a pleasure to
everybody. Before they knew
him by his picture. Now they
feel they know him personally.
He is big man and possesses
big personality. And along with
it an immeasurable fund of good
nature and humor. He appeared
to all, the embodiment of an
American citizen-as high trib-
ute as could be paid to any man.
He uses the word "Good!" in
stead of Delighted"
When coming by Leadville,
though the hour was three O'Clock
in the morning, crowd had come
out on the spur and cheered and
clamored until the President got
up from sound sleep, dressed and
smiled on them. In relating the
experience afterward he said:
Il can't tell how good that sleep
was, but the gentlemen all knew
me, for they called me by my
first name. l just had to get up
and meet them"
At Montrose there was no can
opy over the platform from which
he was to address the crowd.
On taking his seat he removed
his hat. The sun was shining
with such glow as can only be
felt on the Western Slope this
late in autumn and someone up
in the grand stand shouted:
''Tell the President to put on his
hat" After being introduced
Mr.. Taft said: with your per-
mission, ladies and gentlemen,
will take the advice of that good
Samaritan in the grand stand
who told me to put on my hat. "
And with his big head covered
with a common, dusty Derby, he
told the people how pleased he
was to be with them. his aston
ishment at their resources, his
satisfaction at the progress of
the reclamation, said he was an
optimist and admonished: BE
lieve you will succeed-if you
don't believe that you will sue
ceed you never will succeed. "
Also: DO not fear a jolt.

received one today at the hands
of member of your reception
committee, who questioned my
identity. l had grown to believe
that everyone could pick me out
in crowd. When a.man is in
danger of getting to believe he
occupies the whole. horizon. a
jolt brings him back to the COM
mon sense level"
At Glenwood Springs the Pres
ident was invited to bathe in the
pool. He replied: mot in pub

If you desire to get people at a
distance interested in Delta coun-
ty, there is no better or surer
way than to send them the INDE-
PENDENT. Not just one copy,
but. if you have a party you
particularly desire to impress,
subscribe for the paper for six
months and have it sent to him.
This paper will give him more
reliable information, more Delta
county resource argument in
those six months than all the
circulars, letters, pamphlets,
maps; than all the press agent
reports to foreign newspapers
and magazines would supply in
half lifetime. They are writ
ten as news of a new land and
its m arvel lous, manifold re-
sources, and the man who reads
the INDEPENDENT for six months
will know something definite
about Delta county.

There are lots of people in this
busy world who don't care a
snap which discovered the North
Pole, Cook or Peary, or if both
or neither of them discovered it.
1t is to many like Roosevelt's S
hunt in Africa. Whether he shot
a jack-rabbit or a jack-ass don't
occupy the mind of the busy
people who are forced to work
and sweat and plan to earn their
bread and butter. Idle readers
long for sensations and these
things are calculated to give
them their fill. That is about all
there is to it.

spending it all in one place.
There are educational institutions
everywhere that a little aid to

Millinery Opening at Roofs.

AS announced in last weeks issue
of The Dispatch the fall millinery
opening at W. P. Roofs store is now
on, having began yesterday. The
crowds have been enormous, and the
charming and bewitching little milli-
ner, Miss Brown, has been the hardest
worked person in town. To attempt
to describe the hats on display would
take too much space. Suffice it to
say, that there are on display at this
store hats of many colors and shapes,
more varied and beautiful than the
soft, pretty colors Of the rainbow.
There are styles and shapes especially
adapted to every form Of beauty and
loveliness under the Gun, and you will
have no trouble in being suited and at
the same time you will have that feel
ing of satisfaction which only comes
to those who buy their hats at Roofs.
But we forgot to mention those
beautiful suits-something never be-
fore heard of in a Lexington store
ladies' suits, misses. suits, children's
suits, yea, suits for everybody. The
prices are most moderate.
The new millinery aud suit depart
menta w. P. Roofs is credit to the
town of Lexington. and is the equal
of any millinery and suit department
of the greater department stores in
the larger cities and towns of the
South.

case of John Black, i, the result of the
first efforts of the State II the alleged
graft cases. Whatever the final out
come of these eases, there has been
enough told to convince any reasona-
BILE mind that there has been a lot OF
wrongdoing in connection with the
operation of the liquor business ID
this State. There has been enough
light turned on already to disgust the
people of the State with the handling
of the liquor business in any shape or
form, and it should have it's weight
with the next legislature. The people
have heard enough to convince them
of the fact that the handling Of liquor
in any manner is dangerous and should
be prohibited. It is now up to the
gentlemen who make our laws to give
the people a Statewide prohibition
law. How any man can stand for the
sale of liquor by any county, state or
individual in view of all the rotten
ness that has been brought out, we
are at a loss to know. Whether any
of the men yet to be tried are con-
victed or not, the verdict has been
