Is William Howard TAFT OF Ohio, that
n this case he was President of the
United States.
Yet, with 1t all. he expressed him
self in way that would not offend
and yet in way that would make
every person within the sound OF his
voice respect him for his position
even IL they did not agree with him
Those who felt before he came that
he was not a strong character have
no reason to continue in the idea
of the president.
Whatever else he may be. he has
his views and is not afraid to ex-
press them, and he has the courage
to go into what might be called hos
tile territory and. instead OF abusing,
of trying to show those to whom he
talks that there are others besides
themselves to consider. In other
words, there are ninety million peo-
pie who must, as far as possible. be
satisfied.
The Lands convention is over. As
expected, it was dismal failure. In
stead of having seven thousand in
49, .z~.f-~, <oopad Nth
1872 delegates in the convention. 1t
never polled $50 votes on any subject.
As also expected. it adopted resolu-
tions crIticizing the federal govern
ments policy OF dealing with the pub
lie domain. In doing this 1t offered
the President OF the United States
one Of the cheapest insults the mind
OF man ever conceived. After inviting
him to discuss the questions at issue.
the convention adopted its resolutions
before hearing his views on the sub
ject. President Taft was not slow to
take advantage OF this acuon ana III
a gentlemaniy manner he let the del
egates know that 1t would have been
more courteous to have given him .
hearing before adopting the resolu-
tions.
From the very start the Lands con-
ventIon was bound to be n failure
Instead OF being the broad-guaged
convention that was intended, Gov
ernor Shafroth changed the call 50
as to exclude practically everyone
who believed differently on public
land questions than does the gov
ernor. In other words. he made of g
Democratic gathering. Naturally.
1t failed OF It's own deceptive work.

before the Lands convention, the
leading Republicans of the state, the
commercial men of the state.' the
railway trainmen who were in ses-
sion in Denver and many other minor
organizations. His visit means much
for the success of the party next
fall. With one accord the people say
that, to use slang expression, he
"made good" Perhaps his most inn
portant address was before the Lands
convention. There he discussed the
public domain, which, of course, is
one of the leading issues of the west
In this discussion he took the posi-
ton that the entire government own
ed the public domain; that the west
ern states were more deeply inter-
ested in its disposal than the states
OF the east; that while mistakes have
been made in the disposal Of the pub
lie domain in the east, the entire peo-
Pile, both east and west, are disposed
to. as far as possible, rectify those
mistakes by the careful disposal OF
the western domain.
He maintained that the clash that
is now in existence between certain
residents of the western states and
the federal government over the dis
posal and handling of the domain has
resulted as much from contrariness
on both sides as from anything else
He maintained that there was suf-
ficient good Judgment among the
masses of the people both in the west
and in the east which. when put TO
the test. would settle this question
right.
His plea was for compromise be-
tween the two forces. He advocated
the give and take proposition and
maintained that as president of the
entire country his desire was to get
the two factions together. In the
water power question he suggested
the handling of this by the states, but
with the understanding that II the
states were in any manner negligent
toward the welfare of the public IN
their handling OF the same that the
control would revert back to the ma
tional government.
II will be remembered that the
lands convention invited him to ad-
dress that convention on the public
domain questions. The convention
finished its work and adopted its res
olutions the day before he arrived
The president expressed himself on
this in a manner that those who
framed the program will not soon
forget.
He called attention to the fact that
they had invited the President OF the
United States to state the views Of
the federal government on the ques-
tions under discussion at the con-
vention and he felt that those in
charge of the convention might have
awaited the presentation OF the fed
eral governments side OF the ques-
tfcn, after they had invited the pres
dent to state that side. before they
adopted their resolutions. It may be
well to state here that 1t was the
Shafroth element In the convention
that forced the adoption Of resolu-
tions before the president had been
heard. This element felt that 1t would
be impossible to adopt the resolu-
tions II desired If Mr.. Taft had stated
the federal governments side OF the
case.
There is one thing in connection
with President Tafts trip that vii
be remembered, and that is the fac
that he is not afraid to state hi
views on questions. He told the peo
pie of Kansas and Nebraska that th'

down.
By midday the fair is over and the
peasants start homewards, driving the
cattle before them. The sheep and
pigs have mostly been sold to butch
ers from the neighboring towns, and
are treated with little consideration,
being expedited on their way with
many cruel blows and kicks. A pig
that is thoroughly refractory is seized
by the tail and one ear, stuffed into
a sack and slung over a mans back,
head downwards, as giving less trou-
BILE in that position. Turkeys and
ducks, painting for water, are packed
into hampers SO small that one Won
ders how many Of them will survive
the journey.
On the way through the town a
good deal Of the money taken at the
fair is laid out at the booths.
Carts that have come filled with
calves and pigs return laden with
terra-cotta pots for oil and wicker
covered bottles for wine. It is the
chief holiday and merrymaking of
the year to many of these simple
minded, hardworking peasants.

looking over the seething mass of

struck by the bright effect of color
prevalent everywhere. The simmer
ing mass of hundreds of milk white
oxen waiting patiently to be sold,
their heads gay with scarlet fillets and
tassels, the women in blue skirts,
white linen shirts and gay handker-
chiefs, the children in crimson or
scarlet petticoats with white sleeves
and headgear and large green and red
umbrellas, all help to make a vertable
feast of color.
Besides the huge horned oxen so
priced for farm work, there are milk
white cows, and calves with large,
pathetic eyes, whole fiocks of noun
tain sheep, under the care of an old,
gray-bearded herdsman in goat-skin
coat and buskins, leaning patriarchaI-
ly on a long staff. There are black
and white goats tethered to stakes
and necessarily butting one another,
while shy little girls try in vain to
keep refractory pigs in order. Hard
bargains are driven on "scudi." an
outsider usually acting as go-hetween.

used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every IN
stance, | always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case IN
particular was that OF a lady friend
Of mine who, when child, was af
flicted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not go to school as the disfigure-
ment looked terrible. | told her to get
at once a set Of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use Of only one set she was
perfectly well.
"a grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one Of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall Of the year. They used to
be 50 painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her
l have also seen them cure children
of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and I used the Cuticura Oint-
ment. 1t made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas 1t was quite stiff before
I began to apply the Ointment.
Last May l had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side Of the nail was edging right
down in the side of my toe. l cut
the nail out of the cavity it made and
Of course applied the Cuticura ONT
ment to the part affected. It soothed
1t and in less than ten nights it was
all healed through constant use Of the
