ROOSEVELT IN DENVER
He Addresses 10000 People in the

Theodore Roosevelt visited the CITY

and did more smashing than he has
done since he was president. Before
the state legislature, convened in spe.
cial session, he criticised two de-
cisions handed down by the supreme
court of the United States. In the
Auditorium, before a crowd of 10000
persons, he gave his most advanced
views on the subject of observation.
deploring the backwardness of the
east and praising the west for the
strides it has taken.
Roosevelt did not attack the admin
istration. In fact he did not refer to
1t by spoken words. He ignored Taft.
and he omitted any reference that
could possibly be construed as an en-.
dorsement of what the administration
has done The reclamation service.
which has been something of bone
of contention between the conserva-
tionists and Mr.. Taft, Roosevelt
praised. He said that because of its
clash with certain private interests II
has had to pay the penalty of its serv-
ice to the public.
1t was in the chamber of the house
that Mr.. Roosevelt shouted that he was
against the muckrakers who accused
a man unjustly, that ne will go the
limit in condemning the writer's of the
public press who tell untruths about
political and saocial conditions. The
only man more noxious than the cor
rupt public official according to the
colonel is the corrupt newspaper and
magazine writer.

HARMONY PLEA MADE
BY PRESIDENT TAFT
Republicans Are Urged to For.
get Differences.

A most urgent call for all Re-
publicans to forget their differ
ences after the nominations Of their
party have been made and to unite in
trying to elect Republican nominees
and thus insure the further carrying
out of platform promises is made in
the letter which President Taft has
written for use in the Republican cam.
paign text books. The letter. ad.
dressed to Chairman William E. Nc
Kinley of the Republican Congression-
al committee, at their Headquarters
was given out. 1t virtually takes the
place of party platform in the cam
paign for congress this fall.
Only brief and guarded reference
is made to any faetional strike within
the party and that in the very begin
ming Of the letter. Assuming that
party candidates will have already
been selected by the time his letter is
published, which, however, is not the
case, the question will be, says Mr.
Taft mot what complexion of Repub-
licanism one prefers, but whether it
is better for the country to have the
Republican party control the legisla-
ton for the next two years and fur
Their redeem it's promises, or to enable
a Democratic majority in the house
either to interpose a veto to Repub-
lican measures or to formulate and
pass bills to carry out Democratic
principles"
Only twice does the name of Mr..
Taft's predecessor appear in his let
ter and that in reference to conserva-
ton. To Mr. Roosevelt Mr.. Taft gives
the credit for arousing public inter
est in the subject. A large part of the
letter is a summary of the legislation
of the last session as evidence of the
desire of the Republican party to full
fill it's promises. Among the meas
ures yet to be enacted and for which
he asks the return of Republican
majority Mr.. Taft places the measure
to curb the injunction power.
He says that the Democratic sub
stitute would create a privileged class
of lawless workmen and would seri
ously impair the power of the courts
of equity to do justice.
The regulation of stocks and bonds
of railroads, a ship subsidy measure
and national board of health are
other promises which remain to be
kept, the president asserts, Those
who wish for such legislation, in de-
scribing which Mr.. Taft uses the word
progressive, should vote for Repub-
lican candidates, the president insists.

GOOD NEWS
Every Sufferer From Catarrh
Coughs, Colds and Sore
Throat Should Read 1t.

So many hundreds of catarrh vic
TINS who have taken the HYOMEI
treatment, have written US letters
thanking us for publishing our meth
Cd of taking the HYOMEI vapor treat
ment in connection with the inhaler
that we gladly publish it again.
The vapor treatment is especially
recommended in stubborn cases of
chronic catarrh of long standing, but
remember that the inhaler should be
used daily as usual.
This is the simple vapor treatment
and only takes five minutes of your
time before going to bed. Pour a tea
spoonful of HYOMEI into a bowl of
boiling water, cover head and bowl
with towel and breathe for several
minutes the vapor that arises.
You will be surprised at the result
of this treatment; it makes the head
feel fine and clear; you will sleep bet
ter and that stuffed up feeling in the
head will gradually disappear.
This same method will break up the
worst cold in the head or chest in
one night.
A bottle of HYOMEI costs SO cents
at druggists everywhere. If you want
the complete outfit, which includes the
little hard rubber pocket inhaler, the
price is $1.00.
No stomach dosing; just breathe
HYOMEI and cure catarrh and all
diseases of the breathing organs.
