PRESIDENT IN DENVER
Tells State Committee He Hopes
for Republican Success.
At Public Lands Convention Taft
Meets Crowds Who Oppose His
Conservation Policy.

Denver, Oct 4.-President Taft told
publican party. Speaking to the men,
bers of the Colorado Republican state
central committee and other members
Of the Republican organization here.
he said he was very hopeful that when
the voters of the country should re-
alize the party's intention to fulfill its
promises to revise the tariff along
scientific lines, that those Republicans
who withheld their votes in the last
congressional election would return to
their places and continue the party in
power.
In another speech President Taft
told an audience of 10000 western
nti-conservationists at the Public
Lands convention that he disagreed
with their attitude to the administra-
tons conservation policy.
He said that their opposition to con-
as was the extreme conservationists'
desire for more restrictive legislation.
The president simply applied the
middle of the road" policy to the con-
servation question. He pointed out
that it would do them no good to
abuse people and pass resolutions
Said he:
81 am the president Of the whole
people and what | am trying to do is
to get you together. 1t isn't talk. it
isn't abuse, it isn't undertaking that
accomplishes anything 1t is getting
on that counts. 1t is the real deI elOr-
meEt of the country that we are
after"

Jersey, recently told his hearers; 1.-The
people, who have been excluded part
ner, are taking part in the business Of
running the government. We are act
ually taking the liberty of assuming the
direction of our own business
In making this statement, Governor
Wilson sounds the ketnote of the pres
ent progressive movement. No longer
are the politiale machines to indorse
candidates and provide policies and
platforms. The people are casting the
bosses aside, are doing their own think
ing, naming their own candidates and
generally taking hand in the running
of the business of the city, state and
nation.

Condenser people brought about twenty
young men out from Milwaukee during

according to the manager, is the most
serious one the condenser people have
to contend with. Through the sum
mer months students in the schools
supplied this need to great extent,
but with the opening of the school year
it has been necessary to look elsewhere

7 PIN IS LATEST NOVELTY
Many Little Annoyanees Are Avoided
by Use Of This New In

A novelty m pins Is the T pin.
which in place of the age-long ia
miliar little knob at the top has at
the head end of the shaft and set at
right angles with 1t a short crossbar.
making 1t T pin.
Often It is diff1cult to thrust an old
style pin through number Of folds Of
paper or through fabrics or other ma
terials: and the head of the pin sinks
into the finger tip and hurts that; and
when the pin has finally been set into
place the material pinned Is liable to
work up around its head.
All these things are avoided by the
use Of the T pin. which with its cross
bar head gives surface upon which
greater pressure can more easily be
exerted, making the pin easier to use;
while when It has been set In place
the material cannot work up over tt
T pins are made in various sizes,
and finished In various colors. for all
sorts Of domestic uses; and there Is
also made a T pin that Is called the
wrypeck, this for bank and ONCE use.
The whyneck T pin has at the top.
the head end of the shaft, a little
curve, the crossbar being at the
curves end. A pin with this little
curve In It can be thrust through
bunch of papers to lie fiat in them,
horizontal with them, while the cross
head does not stick up above the top
paper. but lies close and fat upon 1t.
across the opening where the pin was
thrust through.
It might have seemed that the age
long familiar pin was just pin and
that so It would always remain, In the
future as 1t had been in the past. al
ways Just the same; that nobody
would ever think Of such thing as
trying to invent new pin, but here
now in the T pin Is a novelty in pins.
