A large part Of the report is devoted
to public lands. a long and heated
controversy has been raging concern
ing the policy of the new administr;i-
ton relative to our national resources
The Secretary covers the points in dis
pute fully. He refers to the liberal
and rapid disposition of public lands
Under the existing statutes and lax
methods Of administration and regrets
that we. as a nation, were so tardy to
realize the Importance of preventing
our national resources passing into

and vigorous prosecutions of land
frauds. through Secretaries Hitchcock
and Garfield have restored a salutary
respect for tho law. and the public
nina has rapidly grasped the import
ance of safeguarding the further dis
position of our natural resources in the

AS regards power sites, the report
says that If the federal government de-

public domain, 1t can only do so by
limitations imposed upon the disposal
of power and reservoir sites upon the
public lands the waters of the streams

their appropriation and beneficial use.
The Secretary therefore recommends
that Congress enact a measure provld-
ing for the classification of all lands
capable of being used for water power

the following conditions:
THAT the title to such lands be re-
served in the federal government. and

Good Reason Why "6ootIesser" Want

Taking a Drink.

Il was at a little station in the

the Oklahoma man, when the through
express pulled in. AS soon as 1t
stopped a little seedy-looking man
with a covered basket on his arm, hur-
ried to the open windows of the
smoker and exhibited a quart bottle
filed with a rich, dark liquor.

He sold another bottle to a big
buck Indian with the same words OF
warning, and found three other Gus
toners before the train started.
"'You seem to have a pretty good
thing here for a %bootlegger,' l said 10
him when the train had disappeared,
but I can't see that it would make
you run any more risk if these men

RUSSIAN CAFTAN MUCH LIKED
Practical Fashion Has Been Eagerly
Taken Up and Made a Sea-
sons Mode.

.EN % N. I H
One of the newest and most practi-
cal of fashions that are being adopted
is the Russian ~caftan, a coat-like gar
ment which Is similar to that worn by
Tolstoy, the great Russian author, in
pictures, with which we are familiar.
The coat has a round or square
neck, a slightly bloused bodice part
and a straight bottom edge that ends
Just above the knees. 1t is confined
at the waist line by a satin belt; or,
to make it more realistic, a silk cord.
The edges Of the coat are bound
with satin; for winter garment, bands
of fur will be used. The fastening is
of ornamental or perfectly plain but
tons and satin cord or braided but
tonoholes.
This style may be developed to the
extreme, but In its simpler form is
more dignified.
The style promises to be a popular
one for smart fall and winter cos
tunes. Frocks Of wooden fabric, with
blouses of net and silk and a caftan
OF the material trimmed with satin in
a harmonizing tone, or, what is safer
yet, black, will be in good taste for
the well-dressed woman.

have heard her. She sprang to her
feet and an angry color dyed her
cheeks.
I'm sorry I've been so slow to un-
derstand you, Roland" she exclaimed.
Its evident we are not suited to each
other. The best we can do isis to
forget we've ever been engaged"
Roland stood up and looked at her,
pale as she was flushed. do you
mean our engagement is broken?" he
asked.
Here is your ring!" and she tore
1t off and handed it to him.
IF your love for me cannot stand a
slight disagreement, Alice, doubtless
you are right"
He looked at the ring and then put
1t slowly in his pocket. Alice turned
away and began to arrange magazines
on a table. A moment or two passed.
Then Roland, without another word,
strobe down the veranda steps and
mounting his horse, which stood
hitched at the foot, galloped off.
Alice listened to the beat of the
hoofs until they died away. Then she
went slowly into the house and up to
her room. She felt as though she were
carrying a great weight, and almost
staggered as she reached her door.
Tears blinded her as she entered.
The perfume Of the roses he had
brought her that morning sw~eetened
the air. There stood his photograph
manly, handsome, with the smile in
his eyes that she knew SO well.

BORDERING ON THE UNKIND

The city man on his vacation at

coined the rain one day because now
he could appear in that suit of yellow

Thus attired, and with a pipe slowed

him amusedly. The city man in the

seafaring mans scrutiny, and laugh
ingly gave himself a hitch, looked

The old shellback looked him over
carefully again, but never cracked a
smile. But after a long silence, as ii

From a review of the results OF the
first half of the campaign tour of the
United States on which President Taft
is now engaged this Illuminating para
graph is taken:
THE president has acknowledged
that he accepted a tariff bill that fell
short In some Of its details Of the
pledges of the party. He did this, as
he has said, for the sake of party soil
darity. He did 1t to save the rest OF
his program of legislation, to which,
in his opinion, he and the Republican
party are as firmly pledged as they
we're to the downward revision Of the
tariff"
The innocent bystander will recall
the perfervid declarations made by
numerous members of Mr.. Taft's party
to the effect that the Republican party
was pledged to downward revision"
of the tariff, He will search the pres
ent tariff law in vain for any evidence
that the customs schedules have been
generally lowered. And the. he will
wonder what the outcome Of future
recommendations of the president will
be il he, in days to come, accepts on
other subjects statutes as little to his
liking and as foreign to his pledges as
is the tariff bill he approved "for the
sake of party solidarity"

may be becoming with a hat.

"Patrjotic Considerations"

In his message to congress at its
next session Mr.. Taft will urge the
enactment of a ship subsidy law. He
is going to do this because his obser-
~vations have convinced him that the
country is ready to try such a law.
We fear that he has mistaken the
noise Of the shipbuilders' lobby at
Washington for the sentiment of the
country.
At the last session Of congress the
Hon. Gustav Kustermann Of Wiscon-
sin, in answer to the eloquent appeals
to the pride and patriotism Of the
American people made by the ship
subsidy %grabbers, maintained that

can people, will get will be the glory
Of paying a few million dollars a year

The three hats illustrated here are
entirely different from each other.
Each one is typical of one of the three
distinct CLASSES of millinery-the
dress hat, the "semi-dress" hat and
the utility hat. Millinefs usually
distinguish these classes by the terms
dress hats, trimmed hats and tall
ored hats.
Fig. l is an example of the dress"
hat, which we are all prone to call a
pattern hat. 1t is a chamois colored
felt trimmed with marabout down and
coque feathers; not an extreme ex-
ample of dainty and fragile millinery,
but too light and too elaborate for
ordinary wear The time when one
hat had to do service for all occa-
sions, is long past. This hat and 9TH
ers of its class are out of place for
general wear. If one can only afford
a single hat, she must turn her face
resolutely away from this character of
millinery.
"A trimmed hat which will be very
generally useful is shown in Fig. 2.
1t is of black corded silk trimmed with
a very large bow made Of black taffeta
silk, having the ends fringed out. The

LABOR NOT HELPED
VOTERS AWAKE TO FALLAcY OF
HIGH TARIFF ARGUMENTS.
Results Have Proved That Wages
More often Co Down Than Up I'm
der Excessive Protective Rates
Cost OF Living Increased.

There was a time when American
wage earners were asked to believe
that employers are forced by an
economic law to divide equitably with
their employees the special profits re-
sulting from high tariff.
In this way the Republican party
always claimed to have a mortgage
on a large share Of the labor vote.
Workmen were supposed to support,
without question. the party that main
tanned high wages ven at the gener-
al expense of American consumers.
Even this wages argument is out
worn and ~discredited wherever the
tariff is in~telligently discussed. The
labor vote. in manufacturing centers,
is no longer deliverable by high tariff
politicians. Wage earners have dis
covered that more often wages go
down under a robber tariff than up.
And the reason is simple. The high
tariff landlords merely flood the coun-
try with European pauper labor when
the wage scale goes too high to suit
them. American Workmen are given
the alternative of accepting European
standards of living or subjecting their
families to idleness and starvation.
Worse than this. the price of LIES
necessities to the American workman
and his family continues to mount I'M
der high tariff. He is caught between
the upper and neither millstones. This
explains the uncertain character Of the
labor vote. as compared with former
party alignments.
And it is as certain as day that
when real friends Of the people are
put In nomination for the next con
gress, the nations br~eadwinners will
atone for past errors by soothing at the
old Republican campaign slogans.

go out often and who feel a dressier
model unnecessary. 1t is a beautiful
hat for church wear. Worn with
bright, dressy gowns, it will serve for
a multitude of social occasions. In
fact a hat of this character is very
generally useful and comes nearer to
answering all requirements, than any
other sort.
In Fig. 8, a tailored hat is shown.
The shape is nobby and mannish and
is covered with plain taffeta silk
shirred onto the frame, This and
similar shapes are shown covered with
the MORE and corded silks which are
found on all kinds of millinery this
season. For these hats the trimming
is of the very simplest character. 1t
| amounts to only a finish of some sort.
A band and fiat bow of velvet, kid or
ribbon. Sometimes a buckle or other
ornament is used. "a simple rain
proof feather is not out Of place, but
the best effects are those in which
feathers and flowers are conspicuous
by their absence. This is the hat for
the tailor-made costume for the street
and for travelling. In the estimation
Of many people Of excellent taste and
judgment, it is the sort of millinery
which should be worn at church. 1t
is smart, in~conspicuous and well
made, like a tailored gown. Those
hats that are made Of plain silk are
easier to keep from dust than the
shirred varieties. In passing it should
be remembered that hats must be
busted with very soft brushes Oh
wiped off with a scrap Of plush or vel
vet. Nothing is quite so good as
piece of silk plush for keeping mil
linery clean.
