TO REMOVE ELECTORS

Drop COlOnel's Men.

D Hiles, chairman of the Republican
national committee, issued a statement
today covering the alleged agreement
between TAFT representatives ana VIII
liam Finn, representing Col. RoOSe-
Welt in Pennsylvania Mr.. Hilles said:
We have received a proposition
from Mr.. Finn in which he has offered
TO withdraw the Roosevelt electors
from the Republican ticket and substi-
tute Taft electors in their place The
offer was made by Mr. Finn in Phila-
delphia last Wednesday to Henry G..
WATSON, Republican state chairman,
and William T Tilden. president of the
Union League club, of Philadelphia"
Mr.. Hilles said that, according to
Mr. WATSON, Mr. Finn said that Col.
Roosevelt at Chicago had placed him
IN charge of matters il Pennsylvania
and he was willing TO erase the Roose-
Welt names and replace them with rep
resentative Republicans who would
vote for president Taft
He said that before he could do
this he must obtain sigma lures of a
petition naming Roosevelt electors on
requires three percent of the total vote,
Mr.. Finn estimated that it would take
nearly the whole month of September
to prepare the petitions.
I assume that Mr.. Finn is able to
do this and that he will do il in good
faith" said Mr.. Hilles- Our only OBJ
lection to Films Republican state
ticket now is that il has names of
Roosevelt men on it as electors With
those removed we would not oppose
any of the rest of the ticket"

TELLS FARMERS
VETO rs NECESSARY
Says It Is Duty Of President
to Exercise the Power
FearleSSlv.

Columbus. o.. Aug. 29.-President
Taft publicly explained today his ex-
ercise Of the veto power. In his speech
to q great crowd of farmers on the
state fair grounds here, he declared
that a president who did not use the
veto power when he thought it should
be used proved himself a coward.
Some of my friends say" said the
president" that if a king had used the
veto power as I have, his head would
drop in the basket But I am not
king and that is very different. The
president has the power. and IL is his
duty If he does not approve legislation
to veto It. He must use the veto when
his conscience tells him, whether his
head drops in the basket or not II
presidents are men-and most Of them
are-they will exercise the veto when
they think they ought.
Look over the veJoes of other presi-
dents and show me the bad ones, and
] will show you more made good Our
forefathers thought that it was well
to have one man who would represent
all the people and who would be able
to tell all the people when he saw leg
islation that he did not believe was
good The veto is an excellent thing
Ny friends who criticize me forget
that 1 was elected just as they were
and by a good many more people than
they were"
The president spoke to the farmers
Of legislation which congress had en-
acted for their benefit and promised
that other legislation would follow.

ROOSEVELT MAKES
ATTACK ON PENROSE
Also Pays His Respects to
John D. Archbold in His
Vermont Speech.

Bennington, Vt, Aug. 29.-An attack
on senator Penrose of Pennsylvania and
John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil
company, was made here today by Col.
Theodore Roosevelt in opening his
Vermont campaign. He assailed Mr..
Archbold and senator Penrose for their
testimony before the senate campaign

said, they let Mr. Archbold go OF to

Mr.. Archbold and senator Penrose
testified that Mr.. Bliss had attempted
to blackmail the Standard Oil company.
Mr.. Archbold did not complain because
he was blackmailed. What he COM
planned of was that he did not get the
goods. PenrOse testified that he tried
to blackmail the Standard Oil COM
pany by saying that if it did not con-
tribute, il might incur hostility in GER
tain quarters As the senator has ad
mitted what he has done he should be

The colonel said that today he had
met James r Garfield, who was a mem

MIN that at the time the Standard Oil
company contribution was supposed to
have been made the government had
been investigating the oil company for

said, and the result of il was to show
that whether or not the oil corporation
did contribute. it had no influence with

system is to be manipulated, and no
Republican administration, no Repub-

borrow money on the kind of securities

THE OLD AND THE NEW.

In the days of our colonial grand
parents tallow candles were the stan
dard light and the young girls of the
household were carefully instructed
in the details of their manufacture.
We have retained the form of the
old iron candlestick with it's tallow
candle rod, and the matchbox, snuff
ers, extinguishers and tray are gone
In their place we have in the base
of the candlestick small electric bat,
terry with wires taking the place of
the wick running up to a tiny lamp
with a tungsten tilament capable OF
giving an intensely bright light, On
the candlestick handle or base is ?
small switch for turning on the light
which may be subdued or hidden if
desired by having the lamp at the cen
ter of an artificial flower

ARTIFICIAL DAYLIGHT PRODUCED
WITH MAZDA ELECTRIC LAMPS
$50 oo,OH ,,,,,,&N,,
AND COLOR WINDOW.

Aside from the distribution and diff
fusion of natural daylight there is
one great consideration, and that is
the ability accurately to match colors
in daylight All luminous sources
emit some or all of the following col
Ors: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange
and red. The color of the light which
we see on viewing the source is the
sum of the various amounts of colors
present In daylight these colOrs are
present in nearly equal amounts.
For the accurate matching of colo-s
a light source which has all the col
ors present in the proper proportions
is essential. One simple example will
suffice to illustrate the point. Purple
consists of a mixture of red and blue.
1T is obvious that when purple is
viewed by light source deficient in
blue rays it will appear red That is,
only the red is reflected to the eye be,
cause there is present no blue light
to be sent back to the eye. On the
other hand, if the purple cloth is
viewed by mercury-vapor light it APP
pears blue because red rays are alb
sent.
A source has been perfected by E.
Ives and M. Luckiesh which produces
artificial daylight. This consists of a
proper arrangement of colored glasses
which are to be used with incandes-
cent lamps. These lamps have an
over supply of red rays, and the func.
ton of the glasses, which have been
prepared with great care, is to absorb
this excess and transmit only light
which is of the same composition as
daylight. These glasses can be at,
tached to any Mazda lamps and are
convenient and useful, OF course
there is a loss of light, but when ac,
jcurate color matching is to be done
a proper source is desired at almost

GOOD READING LIGHT.

Have you good reading light?"
This is an important question which
the Illuminating Engineer assumes
that 80 people out of 100 would be
compelled to answer in the negative,
Why?
The reason why good reading lights
are so uncommon is not so easy to
give, Perhaps the best explanation
may be found in the well known pro-
clivity of the human mind to accept
without question the things it is most
familiar with, and to turn to the I'M
familiar and remote in it's efforts at
improvement. 1t is only within very
recent times that it has been posi-
BILE for every one to have an artificial
reading light that is practically as
good as daylight and we are still
clinging to the customs of our ances-
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-03-23

tors who had nothing better than the
candle and the little oil lamp; so that
we continue to accept poor light as
a sort of necessary evil which we can
endure smilingly or otherwise, accord.
ing to our humor.
If electric light is used in a dome
over the library table, the dome should
be arranged to take single Mazda
lamp which should be fitted with a
prismatic or opal glass reflector, and
the lamp itself should be what is
called bowl frosted i. e., have the
lower part of the lamp bulb frosted.
A sixty-watt Mazda lamp will give
ample light under all ordinary condi-
tions, and will use no more current
than a single sixteen candle-power
carbon bulb.
