President Taft Does Not Mince
Words in Talking with Them
about Postage.
ACKNOWLEDGES THEIR POWER
Possible to Delay Passage Of
Present Measure but He Will
Push Bill till It Be-
comes a Law.

Washington. March 1.--Maga zine
editors and publishers from various
parts Of tho country called on Presi-
don't Taft to-day to urge further in
vcstiga :ion into the postal rates that
their publications rhorlc pay. The
President welcomed the visit OF the
publishers. whose spokesman was T. j.
Zimmerman. editor of System. ard IN
answering them declared thnt os long
as 10 was IN office ne was "goire
ahead to bring about n proper adjust
ment" of magazine rates.
You NAV bc able % defeat the pres
ert proposal" the President told them
These things arc frequently capable
OF defeat for time, but as long as
have ANY power l am going TO rec
ommend the consideration Of this
question until It IS settled. II Is not
in the slightest spirit Of hostility 10
he magazines that I have made this
r'"omH sndation. but because ! am re-
sponsihle for the government Of the
United states and the administration
of it,"
Delay is always victory for those
who are seeking to avoid payment of
what is due the government. Certainly
| the adoption Of the present amendment
will only fix an additional charge for
! one year; will secure attention from the
magazines and bring about adjustment.
There have been suggestions by those
friendly advertisements that | have seen
covering whole pages that tho motive
OF Mr.. Hitchcock and myself is to get
even with somebody. Well. n man who
| has ordinary common sense does not
seek the hostility and the continued hos
| tilty Of an interest as powerful as the
magazines He only goes into fight OF
! this kind from a sense 0f duty"

Season of Extremes in Millinery

There Is no gainsaying the fact that
this is season Of extreme millinery.
Every hat that comes from Paris
proves the assertion, and many Of
the American-made models-patterned,
with discreet modification, after the
PARTISAN hats-are much more charm
ing and wearable than the ultra-French
types.
But 10 matter how extreme a Par
1sian hat Is, it is sure TO be smart and
distinctive upon some woman-provid-
ed the woman who chooses II is of the
type for which IL was originally de
signed
Feathers are the fad, and many are
the ways the milliners have found to
use expensive ostrich plumes.
Every woman loves a feathered hat
and the secret OF It is perhaps that
such hat Is almost invariably becom-
ing. The pretty face is rare indeed
ehat does not look prettier beneath
nodding plumes, and even the plainest
are softened and ideaIized by hat
over which rich plumes droop grace
fully.
Just now feathers are bent and twist
ed and split in all manner OF curious
ways Some of the pIUmes are split
up into quilts, the plumes being left
quite straight at the ends.
Two or three of these split, uncurled
plumes are laid over each other, slant
ing backward across the crown Of the
hat. the ends being covered al front
with nat bow or some sort of fancy
ornament. Sometimes an ostrich
wreath surrounds the hat and above
towers 2 stity wired plume Some
times two plUmes are used, back to
back, the tips, unwired. spreading
apart at the top.
