President in Denver Oct. ,

President Taft has announced that
he will speak at the auditorium in
Denver October third. The Public
Lands Convention managers have
announced that they will extend their
convention over until that date.
President Taft has not indicated what
his subject will be but it is fair to
presume that he will at least outline
the federal policy on conservation
II the convention people have charge
of the auditorium on that date Pre-
sident Taft will address convention
stacked against him because the en-
tire purpose of the Public Lands
Convention has been to convene an
anti-administration POLITICAL assem-
bly,. If, on the other hand, a general
committee of arrangements has
charge of the auditorium on that day
and it is throw. open to the public
he should face a gathering OF repre-
sentative western people. Such should
be the procedure. The public lands
convention will have ended three days
before, save for the fact that it has
purposely been strung over in order
to gather and hold crowd, using the
president as the drawing card. The
convention has no right to manage
the auditorium that day and its man
agement should be in the hands oil
non-partisan Colorado citizens
Whatever may be the result as to
the management of the building in
which he speaks. if the president dis
cusses conservation. he will not have
as his audience merely those who are
directly in front of him but he will
| have the people of the entire west.

ONE DAY ONLY

These are the Doctors you no
doubt have read about. While you
may not know them personally, you
may know them by reputation or
through some OF your neighbors,
they have treated.
The remarkable success of these
talented physicians in the treatment
of chronic diseases has aroused much
enthusiasm in the Northwest.
This is said to be and no doubt is
true, one of the most able specialists
organizations of its kind in this sec
ton of the country, and must be a
successful one from the many rood
results they are getting.
The United Doctors licensed by
the state OF Colorado for the treat
ment of deformities and nervous and
chronic diseases OF men, women and
children, offer to all who call on them,
consultation, examination, and advice
free
1t is specially requested that mar
ried ladies come with their husbands
and minors with their parents.
The name, United Doctors, is what
it implies, union of specialists
twelve in number that have gotten to-
gether for the treatment of chronic
and nervous diseases. Not to be I'M
derstood that they treat all diseases
that the human body is heir to. They
mean to be very careful in selecting
and taking cases as they want good
results, which means good returns in
the way OF their patients recommend
ing them to others.
They estimate that over eighty per
cent of the patients now coming to
them, come from recommendations
of those they have treated.
They do not treat any acute dis
eases whatever, their time and atten-
ton being devoted to such diseases
as follows:
Diseases of the stomach, intestines,
liver, blood, skin, nerves, heart,
spleen, kidneys or bladder rheuna-
tism, sciatica, diabetes, bcdwetting,
leg ulcers, weak lungs and those af-
flicted with ng-standing. deep seat
ed, chronic diseases, that have baf-
fled-the skill of the family physicians,
should not fail to call.
According to their system no more
operations for appendicitis, gall
stones, tumors, or goiter. They were
among the first in America to earn
the name of the "Bloodless Sur
geons," by doing away with knife,
with blood and with all pain ip. the
successful treatment of these danger

New Statesmen Are Economical

I'm this new house of representatives
4 there are number of members who
have come here with full realization
OF the fact that they are one-termers.
They know that according to all hui
man probabilities they will not be re-
turned, and so they propose to make
all they can out Of two years in Of
fee. No expensive hotels for them;
on the contrary, they are figuring how
they can live on their mileage and
clerk hire, and save their salaries
The result is that the superiutend-
ent of the house office building has
had hard work to keep members from
putting cots in their Offices for Sleep
ing thsre. 1t is said to be a fact that
some Of these "clcse" congressman
have insisted that they be given the
right to move their trunks into the
house Office building and sleep there,
though they have not yet proposed do
ing light housekeeping.
Speaking of committee rooms, the
shift caused by the change in the po-
litical complexion Of the house has re-
suited in embarrassment to some of
the members who have been in the
habit of taking their nips regularly
during tho day.

Cans Fathonn Fight ON Mormons

Young, the prophet, was their leader,
so that in addition to having the
names of Gil CT them carved upon the
stone q statue of Young stands, life
size, at the top Of the monument.
There is no religious significance to
the statue or to the proposition to
engrave the likeness upon the silver
service, Senator Smoot explained to
Secretary Meyer, although it happens
that the pioneers were Mormons.
The senator alzo stated that the
committee having in charge the selec.
ton of the silver for the battleship
and the designation of the design, is
composed of Mormons and non-Mor.
mons and they are unanimously in
favor of engraving a picture of the
monument upon the service. The re.
suit of the senator's talk was that
Secretary Meyer will stand pat and
not interfere. To all who protest he
says that the silver service is a vol.
nntary gift from the people of Utah
and the department has no right to
stipulate as to the design. The same
attitude was assumed by the depart.
ment when the people of Mississippi
presented to the battleship of that
name silver service with the like.
ness of Jefferson Davis, president OF
the Confederacy, engraved upon it.

yYT HINGTON-That a member of
w congress spends his days in work
ing for or against such momentous
projects as tariff reduction, Canadian
reciprocity, appropriations for this or
that and other kindred subjects, is, to
the popular mind, precisely what he is
sent there to do. But that he also
consumes a goodly portion of his work
ing day in receiving or avoiding wom-
en-, will be, perhaps, a more or less
surprising statement to the average
voter.
And yet-don't censure the con-
gresham for doing SO. Nine out of
ten times he's more eager to dodge his
feminine callers than to see them.
This business of basking in feminine
smiles and being sought after by
Milsdy Fair may be all right in story
books, but it doesn't go in congress.

would prefer the farm upon the good

would be that he could go to town any

G ENATOR REED SMOOT of Utah,

church, in spite Of al the attacks he
has weathered since his advent into
public life, cannot set used to the
campaigns waged against his religion.
The protest against placing the like
ness of Brigham Young upon the sill
yer service that is to be presented to
the battleship Utah by the citizens of
the state caused Senator Smoot to
make a call upon the secretary of the
navy recently and explain to him the
facts in the case.
The proposition is to have engraved
upon the silver service a likeness of
the pioneer monument that stands at
the head Of Main street, Salt Lake
City. This monument was erected at
the very spot where the pioneers of
that state, 142 in number, camped
when they went into that wilderness
to carve out new empire. All of
them were Mormons and Brigham

more for their farms than thew coule

built. In some cases the advance was
even more. The incrc ase in taxation
was hardly felt.
One Of the prominent residents OF
the township, in commenting upon the
Improvement, said that the building Of
the roads exerted a powerful influence
upon the lives of the people of tho

is the same story everywhere; in every

the experience of building, using and

In the last analysis it will be found
that the building of highways adds to

the many advantages that grow out OF
