CONSERVATION OF
NATURAL RESOURCES
I
Far Reaching Policy for the Good
of All the People.
Republican Party Uncovering Vast
Wealth and Making Home Own
ing Easier Each Year.
An extremely important feature of
the constructive Republican policy is
the national movement for the conser
vation of the natural resources of the
country. This measure lias been orig
inated by the present Republican ad
ministration and. like the homestead
law, the national Irrigation act and
other measures for the benefit of the
whole people, its influence is destined
to be far reaching and productive of
great good to the home builders of the
< ountry.
The National Conservation Commis
sion as it exists to-day is an outgrowth
of the Inland Waterways Commission
this Commission was appointed by
President Roosevelt in March. 1907. In
his letter creating the Waterways Com
mission the President uses this lan
guage: “That the Inland Waterways
Commission shall consider the relations
of the streams to the use of all the
permanent natural resources and their
conservation for the making and main
tenance of prosperous homes.”
Home Building for the People.
The inquiries of the commission along
the lines indicated led to the proposal
to the President on Oct. 3 that lie call
a conference on the general subject of
the conservation of the national re
sources of the nation. Among other
reasons mentioned for this movement
g| their letter to the President stated:
"Hitherto our national policy has been
one of almost unrestricted disposal of
natural resources, and this in more lav
ish measure than by any other nation
in the world’s history: and this policy
i of the federal government has been
shared by the constituent States. Three
consequences have ensued: First, un
precedented consumption of natural re
sources: second, exhaustion of these
resources to the extent that a large
part of our available public lands have
passed into great estates or corporate
interests, our forests are so far deplet
ed as to multiply the cost of forest
products, and our supplies of coal and
iron ore are so far reduced as to en
hance prices: and third, unequalled op
portunity for private monopoly, to the
■xtent that both the federal and State
sovereignties have been compelled to
enact laws for the protection of the
people.
"We are of opinion that the time has
nuie for considering the policy of con
serving these material resources on
which the permanent prosperity of our
country and the equal opportunity of
all our people must depend; we are also
of opinion that the policy of conserva
tion has so marked an advance on that
policy adopted at the outset of our na
tional career as to demand the consid
eration of both federal and State spon
sors for the welfare of the people.”

this letter he said: •‘Recently I declared
there is no other question now before
the nation of equal gravity with the
question of the conservation of our nat
ural resources, and I added that it is
the plain duty of us who for the mo
ment are responsible to take inventory

been banded down to us. to forecast the
needs of the future and so handle the
great sources of our prosperity as not
to destroy in advance ail hope of the
prosperity of our descendants.”
This conference was held, President
Roosevelt presided and the practical
conservation work was properly
launched.
Taft to Direct the Worlt,
Mr. Taft is thoroughly in sympathy
with this movement to build more
homes for the people and to make them
more attractive. He is one of the great
Americans who typify iho independence
and the constructive genius of the
American hour- builder. There is an
innate desire in the heart of the Amer
ican citizen to own a home. Mr. Taft
recognizes the inherent yearning of the
people apparent 011 every page of his
tory to own in fee simple some portion
of tlie earth. The desire is as keen to
day as it ever was. Of ail our wealth
producing class, the farmer needs a
home most. He must have land. He
should by all means own it. His farm
need not be so large as some suppose,
but it should belong to tbe farmer,
not to some one else. This is not only
self-evident because of the advantages
to tlie farmer, but because of its ad
vantages to the nation at large. It is
the corner stone of our national life,
it lies at the root of all true patriotism
and all social improvement and con
tent.
Give a man a home upon the soil,
and you have made him a patriot who
will defend your institutions at the
ballot box or on the battlefield. Mr.
Taft proposes to o]>en the door to our
vast natural resources with the Re
publican key of national conservation.
This is a most hopeful augury of the
future. When the people have easy
access to the mud and can fully utilize
our great natural resources, most of
our other troubles will settle them
selves. The property owner is a con
servative man who loves his family
and his country. Let the property
owners bo as numerous as ]H>ssible.
Let tiie good work of home-making con
tinue under Taft and Sherman.
The Future Growing Brighter.
We are entering upon a new and mo
mentons era that calls for the highest
qualities of constructive statesman
ship—such as Taft has so impressively
demonstrated he possesses. This revela
tiou to our people of the wealth at
their very doors is characteristic of tht
watchfulness of the Republican party,
and the work must he firmly and intel
ligently directed to reach its highest
possibilities to the citizen. We are
planning not only for ourselves, hut
for future generations. We are the
forefathers of a mighty future in a
mighty land. If we arc equal to our
duties and opportunities we will make
homes west of the Mississippi river for
a hundred million of the freest men
and women who ever walked the earth.
We are living in an age of mighty
achievements. The great canals and
reservoirs for constructive work for
irrigation in the arid region, the Pan
ama canal and other mammoth projects
will soon stand as completed monu
ments to the constructive genius of our
people and this age. The future is
potent with still grander undertakings
which will ill a few brief years, tinder
Republican direction, stand as accom
plished facts.

I Hue* Too I*roNperoan for One Kan
nu’ Farmer, He Savs.
: A Saline County farmer, who came
I to the country in the early days and
I accumulated six or eight hundred acres
of farm lauds, who lias raised lots of
wheat and corn and always voted the
Republican ticket, national, state and
county, declares that he is going to vote
for Bryan this year, says the Saliua
(Kan. i Journal. His argument is a
peculiar one and from a Democratic
standpoint is a good one. Mr. Farmer
says he is land hungry and wants more
Kansas lands, but because it is too high
he is unable to acquire it. He declares
that tlie price of wheat is too high, and
likewise the price of corn. With a low
er price on wheat and corn and other
farm products the price of farm lands
is bound to decline and when the price
has been reduced he will be enabled to
purchase more farms.
Mr. Farmer says the election of Bry
an is sure to reduce prices on every
thing—wheat, corn, rye, alfalfa, oats,
hogs, poultry and farm ha i ds and the
laud itself.

Mr. Bryan said at Kingston that

to the exhaustion of the free capital

Pointed Question* Regarding the

The professed friendship of Bryan
and the Democratic party for labor is
being relentlessly exposed. During the
last few weeks the veil has been torn
asunder and Bryan and his platform 1
maker. Haskell, have been thoroughly
exposed to the world.
"That Bryan's record as a "friend
of labor’ is the flimsiest of all public
men in this line there can he no possi
ble doubt." declares The Labor World
of Pittsburg. “lie lias never been any
thing else than a talker and he has
talked so natch that lie has espoused
all shades and angles of the great la
bor question without performing a sin
gle act in the interests of the wage
worker. He is just the same Bryan
to-day that he ever was and the other
night in New York when asked to deny
that he ever made the statement that
American working men were ‘public
beggars,’ he refused to answer it. He
made the statement when fighting in
Congress against the demands of the
■ .ass Workers' Union.
Bryan Doe* Not Aimwer Qnentions.
"A number of the most direct and
important questions on his attitude to
ward labor's real interest have been
submitted to Itryan and so far he lias
not condescended from bis pedestal to
offer a definite reply. He has been
asked: ‘Are you aware of the fact that
since your nomination, and your in
dorsement by tlie executive officers of
the American Federation of Labor, the
governor of Alabama, one of your
friends and allies, has used his power
to crush the labor organizations in
that State, placing troops at the dis
IMisal of the mine owners, and will
you, now that the matter lias lieen thus
brought to your attention, publicly re
pudiate and condemn Governor Co
mer's hostility to organized labor? This
is by all means a most vital question
to every trade unionist in the country
who intends to vote next November.
"The following questions have also
been submitted to liim:
“ ‘Is it not a fact that at the present
time, in the State of Mississippi, in
the city of Vicksburg, to be exact, the
meinliers of the unions concerned with
the river shipping are on strike, and
that the Democratic administration of
that city is trying to break the strike
by sending honest, law-abiding strik
ers who refuse to “scab” to the chain
gang?’
"Assuming that you are ignorant of
these facts at present, will von not. as
leader of the Democratic party, make
immediate inquiries upon the matter,
and. if you find the facts to he as
stated, will you openly and unequivo
cally condemn the Democrats of Mis
sissippi who are resjionsrfble for those
conditions and repudiate them?
Haskell the t'nion Hnuter.
“‘Is it not a fact that vour intimate
friend. ex-Goveruor Haskell, national
treasurer of the Democratic party
i now resigned) was the first presi
dent of the Muskogee Citizens' Alliance,
a secret organization patterned after
the Citizens' Alliances of Messrs.
I’arrv and Bust, and existing for the
sole purpose of opposing trades union
ism and boycotting union men. so that
every cent which a union or member of
a union give to your campaign is sent
to one of the most notorious and big
oted union haters in America?
“ ‘Is it not a fact that Mr. Haskell,
as president of the Citizens'Alliance of
Muskogee, sent out over his own sig
nature a resolution calling upon mem
bers of the Business Men's Alliance
(another union-hating association) to
bind themselves to discriminate
•against any and ali labor union men”
* * * *‘t0 check the contemptible
fanaticism of trades unionism.”
* * * and to boycott all union men?
‘•‘Is it not a fact that the worst in
junctions against organized labor e/rer
issued by the courts of this country
have come, many of them, from Dem
ocratic judges, such as Justice Free
man's injunction in 1900 against the
International Cigar Makers' Union, en
joining them from even approaching
their employers to seek a peaceable
settlement, and from publishing their
grievances; Justice Bookstaver's/ in

which no eloquence, which no rhetoric

“‘As a linn! question. Mr. Bryan, ad

Gomiirrt' Sian lor Taft.
Evidence is plentiful that the effect of
Gomjiers' attempt to influence labor for
Bryan is not very productive of results.
Au illustration in point occurred at a
noonday meeting in New York of the
Commercial Travelers’ Republican As
sociation. John W. Armstrong, an or
ganizer for the International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers, who was
sent to Maine by President Gompers to
make speeches for the Democratic State
ticket, came out for Taft and Sherman.
In his speech he said :
"The men whom I have met and con
versed with in the American Federation
of Labor are, us a rule, of the opinion
that it would be unwise to support Mr.
Bryan. The election of Mr. Taft means
the resumption of business upon safe
and sound lines. I have au abiding
faith in the intelligence and loyalty of
the workingmen to vote for Taft and
the party and principles that made it
possible for our workingman to occupy
the eminent position he does, as com
pared with tiie position occupied by the
unfortunate brother in the Democratic
South, where the Democratic party has
opposed the enactment of factory laws,
child labor laws and the organization
of workingmen.”
Vice President Philip Davis and Sec
retary S. T. Ingram of the Central La
bor Union of Terre Ilaute. Ind., issued
a statement repudiating the announce
ment that Saiuuel Gompers is to speak
in Terre Ilaute under the auspices of
the central body of organized labor.
Vice President Davis said: “Members
of the Central Union are divided on
party lines, and for this reason it is
not just that the union should invite
Mr. Gompers to make a Democratic
speech. Let him come at the instance
of the Democratic central committee.”

A proposition to indorse Itryan in

taries of the committee said that such
a resolution was a joke.
The action of President Gompers of
the American Federation of Lai>or in
aiding Bryan's campaign is repudiated
by James Duncan, second in command
of tiie organization, in a letter made
public Sept. 28. Mr. Duncan, who is

NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC PLAT
FORM.
"New York World Sayn It I* Framed
in tlie Interest* of 1*1 ntoeracy.
(From the New Y'ork World.)
Mr. Mack must share the amazement
of the World over a pretended Demo
cratic platform which, while reiterat
ing "iis abiding faith in the princi
ples of Democracy as against plutocra
cy.” is framed in the interests of the
very plutocracy it professes to de
nounce.
It is a platform for the protection
of Wall street gamblers; for the pro
tection of insurance criminals; for the
protection of traction thieves; for the
protection of Ryan-IIarriinan stock-job
bers; for the protection of rich tax
dodgers ; for tiie protection of preda
tory corporations. It is a betrayal of
Democratic principles; it is a betrayal
of the Democratic party; it is a be
trayal of the Democratic masses.
Standing before the people on such
a platform, and on such a platform
alone, no Democratic candidate could
be elected to office either in New York
or in any State north of Mason and
Dixon's line. Fortunately for the
Rochester nominees, most of them
have public records which give the
lie to Murphy's corporation resolutions.
Methods Contrasted.
Mr. Bryan says be would extirpate
trusts, root and branch. If Mr. Bry
an’s language is more than mere rhet
oric and lie means to seize the prop
erty, to divide it up and sell it in
pieces, and dissemble the parts, then I
am not in favor of bis method of deal
ing with trusts, because I believe that
such large combinations legitimately
conducted greatly add to the prosperity
of the country.—Hon. Wm. H. Taft, at
Columbus, Ohio.
Growth ot Industries.
They tell us that a protective tariff
was only designed for infant industries,
that we have outgrown that infancy
and are no longer in need of the duties
that enabled us to get them started.
We have grown, it is true. Our greut
industrial concerns are monsters now,
but let me tell you. as the boy said
who waited till be bad grown up be
fore tackling a youthful opponent, tha
other fellow has grown up too.—Hon.
j James S. Sherman.
Archbishop Ireland for Taft.
Archbishop Ireland has come out In
an indorsement of the candidacy of
William II. Taft for President. In an
interview the venerable prelate said he
was openly in favor of Mr. Taft’s elec
tion. and he denounced what he termed
demagogic attacks on capital and cor
porations. “Corporations that offend
the law should be punished,” said the
archbishop, “but to raise an outcry
against them simply because they rep
resent commerce and property is in mj
opinion ieiseiess and unjust.’"
CROCHETED WAISTCOATS
A* AUTUMN FANCT WORK.
CROCHETED waistcoats are succeeding hand-made
cravats as presents for one's brothers and intimate
men friends. The waistcoats are particularly accept
able to golf players and men who enjoy outdoor sports
during the crisp autumn days.
Striped effects seem to be favorites in these hand
worked waistcoats, two colors of wool being used in either
broad or narow stripes. The easiest way to crochet one
is to work it lengthwise in two sections, one being the re
verse of the other and then leave the shaping to the tailor.
A medium sized waistcoat is about 12 or 13 inches
across the widest part and twice that in length. If the
wearer is very large then the proportions should be ar
ranged accordingly.
A thick wool is the most satisfactory to work with,
as it goes faster and makes a very warm garment Silk
may be introduced in the pattern with good effect, or the
waistcoat can be made of two colors of Berlin wool.
The quantity of wool required for an average sized
waistcoat is 12 or 14 ounces of the dark or the principal
Miaue ana tnree or lour ounces oi tne ngnt shade. It is always wise to pro
vide plenty of material for the first waistcoat, or any crocheted garment, as
the quantity needed often depends upon the worker. Some women crochet
looser than others and use up more of the wool. A rather tight stitch is best
for a waistcoat, so that if one is inclined to crochet loost* the work should
be watched carefully as it progresses. *
Use a medium sized bone crochet hook and begin with a chain of the
darker wool, making it 25 or 26 inches in length; double crochet the first
row in the dark, then turn and in the second row work crochet into the upper
stitches, or front ones beginning with one dark stitch in double crochet; at
the next stitch draw the light colored wool through and finish the stitch with
the dark wool. Repeat this rotation, using the double crochet stitch and
dark and light wool to the end of the row, then break off the light wool and
make the next row in double crochets with the dark wool, slipping the crochet
hook into the under or back threads.
C ontinue this order of stitches and follow the same arrangement of dark
and light wool until the required width is crocheted. This will make a strip
tor one side of the waistcoat and the other is made exactly the same.
An attractive and quickly made waistcoat in which another crochet stitch
was used was made of dull brown and red wool, the first row after the 25 inch
chain was made being worked with the red wool, working a double crochet
into each stitch of the chain and on the next row working the double crochet
into the under stitches. The next row differed in color arrangement, though
the stitch remained the same. This began with a double crochet in the red.
then a double crochet in the brown and so on, alternating until the end of the
row was reached.
At the fourth row, instead of turning and working back, the wool was
broken off and the work started at the other end and a double crochet worked
into each upper or top stitch of that row, using the red wool. By repeating
the second, third and fourth rows in their proper order till the strip was 14
inches wide, this section of the waistcoat was finished, as far as the crochet
ing was concerned. The other half was merely a repetition of this arrange
ment of stitches, making a strip of equal size. The work should be watched
carefully as it progresses, in order to see that both sides are alike and that
the rows are kept even, not first tight, then loose, and so on.
TRACES OF DIRECTOIRE STYLES.
Point That Is Quite Noticeable in the
New Fall Models.
The woman with the seeing eye is
observing every day traces of direc
toire styles in gowns that are far
from directoire gowns. Here and
there is some suggestion of the ex
tremes which set the world of fashion
astir a few months ago.
The sketch shown here is of a new
! fall model. It has the high directoire
collar and fancy braided trimmings.
The coat model is one of the newest
styles. The general effect is one of
extreme looseness. It is long and full.
The sleeves are of the latest mode.
They are made with an undersleeve
coming down over the wrist. The
whole suit is broidered in a scroll de
sign with self-tone soutache.
The Classical Bandeau.
The chaste and artistic simplicity
which is the characteristic feature of
the jewelry of the moment is nowhere
seen to greater advantage than in the
classical bandeaux now so fashionable.
A lovely design is a crescent moon of
diamonds and attendant stars poised
on a simple bandeau, while another is
surmounted with a conventional de
sign of the Roman period.—Tattler.
Book for Menus.
The various menus served at lunch
eons and dinners are so soon forgot
ten by the hostess that she is often
apt to repeat the menu for some of
the same guests. To prevent this,
the woman who entertains might buy
a blank book and into it write a list of
the guests entertained and the menu
served, together with a word or two
about the decorations. In this way
she has but to look over the list to see
what she served when certain guests
wrere entertained. After a few months
or so the book would prove valuable
for suggestions.
Pocketbook Atomizers.
For the woman who travels or who
shops in the city on a dusty, warm day
there is a pocket atomizer which she
can carry around with her. It has a
screw arrangement which keeps the
perfume securely inside, no matter
how much the rubber bulb may be
pressed.
Women who are taking long motor
rides are carrying these filled with
pungent cologne. Nothing so refreshes
the face and wrists after a dusty ride
as a spray of aromatic cologne that is
not too sweet.
SATIN ROSES FOR GOWNS.
Ornament Innovation Is the Work of
French Designers.
The French designers have been us
ing satin ribbon flowers for some time
as a means of trimming.
This has brought about the fashion
for extra large roses made of ribbon
and put on a skirt or the center of a
bodice.
These roses are quite effective on
all-black costumes and are gratefully
welcomed by the women who wear
black and do not know how to vary
the gowns.
Satin roses may be applied to net.
to chiffon, to grenadine and also to
soft liberty cloths.
They are rather heavy and elabo
rate for coat suits, but they are quite
smart for house gowns. Possibly
they look better on velvet than any
other fabric.
A black velvet one-piece frock which
is to serve for smart afternoon oc
casions fastens down the left front
from bust to hem with satin but
tons.
The huge satin roses on padded
stems form panels up the front, back
and sides, the panel at the back run
ning under the belt up to the shoulder.
There is a single rose in the front
of the bodice. The long wrinkled
sleeves and the gathered yoke are of
i black tulle, unlined and untrimmed.
1 FOR A LAVENDER LUNCHEON.
Serve a Custard in the Way Which Is
Here Described.
For a lavender luncheon try a cus
tard flavored and tinted with grape
juice, making sure that the latter is
absolutely unfermented. Heat a quart
of milk in a double boiler, add half
a cup of sugar. When dissolved, stir
in two tablespoons of grape juice and
directly after this two tablespoons of
rennet extract, which you can buy at
any first-class grocery. Turn into a
large glass bowl, which has been wet
with hot water and is sitting in hot
water. This will prevent the crack
ing of the bowl.. As soon as the bowl
is cold enough to handle lift out of the
water, wipe and set away in ice box.
Serve with whipped cream, in which
candied violets, minced nuts and pul
verized sugar have been beaten. Or
you can turn the rennet into a mold
with a tube center, turn it out very
gently and fill the hole left by the
tube with whipped cream. As rennet
is very difficult to handle, it is safer
to pour it directly into the glass dish
from which it is to be served.
Colored Shoes.
It is in the perfection of each little
detail that the success of the ensemble
depends, and footwear is undoubtedly
one of the most important items and is
a point especially to be considered in
river toilets, as when stepping in and
out of a boat the shoes come into spe
cial prominence. Colored shoes of a
delicate champagne, blue or gray are
proving very strong rivals to the
brown ones so popular a short time
ago and are worn with the fashionable
white ribbed silk hose. White suede
shoes and buckles to match are also
much in evidence.—Tattler.
Lighting the Dining Room.
In this, of all rooms in the house,
the lights should not be glaring. Soft
and subdued, but not dim lights should
be used in the dining room. The ta
ble always looks more appetizing,
dainty, and pretty when the lights are
soft and shaded then when they are
hard and glaring. A soft light has a
quieting and soothing effect upon the
nerves while a hard light is not only
trying on one's nerves but is hard on
the looks. A shaded light is always
the most kindly.

that proved to be of such promise that
a goodly sized camp immediately
sprang up around it.
The two principal mine owners
were, respectively, an Irishman and
a Jew, and as a compliment to these
leading citizens the camp decided to
leave to them the bestowal of a suit
able name upon the new communi'y.
There followed many conferences
between the two. none of which result
ed in an agreement. The Irishman
stood out for a name that would sug
gest his native isle, while the Jew was
Just as insistent, on his part, for a
name that should be suggestive of the
chosen people. This deadlock con
tinued so long that the rest of the
camp grew restless, and finally insist
ed that there should be a compromise.
So the new camp was called “Tipperu
salem.”—Lippincott’s.
HE REMEMBERED.
“And did your uncle remember you
in his will?”
“Well, he remembered me, all right,
but that was why he didn't mention
me in it.’
SKIN TROUBLES CURED.
First Had Itching Rash—Threatened
Later With Blood-Poison in Leg—
Relied on Cuticura Remedies.
“About twelve or fifteen years ago
I had a breaking-out, and it itched,
and stung so badly that I could not
have any peace because of it. Three
doctors did not help me. Then I used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent and
began to get better right away. They
cured me and I have not been bothered
with the itching since, to amount to
anything. About two years ago I
had la grippe and pneumonia which
left me with a pain in my side. Treat
ment ran it into my leg, which then
swelled and began to break out. The
doctor was afraid it would turn to
b’ood-poison. I used his medicine
but it did no good, then 1 used the
Cuticura Remedies three times and
cured the breaking-out on my leg. J. F.
Hennen, Milan, Mo., May 13,1907.”
Filial Devotion.
A southern congressman tells of a
darky in a Georgia town whose best
quality is his devotion to his aged
parent.
Once the congressman asked Pete
why he had never married.
“Why, boss,” explained Pete, “Ise
got an ole mudder. I had to do for
her, suh. Ef I doan' buy her shoes an’
stockings she doan’t git none. Now,
boss, you see ef I was t' git married
I'd have t’ buy ’em f mah wife, an’
dat’d be takin' de shoes an’ stockings
right outer my ole mudder's mouf.”—

Australia’s Wild Oysters.
Oysters are sometimes regarded as
dangerous but they are not usually
considered savage. A Queensland

NO GUSHER
But Tells Facts About Postum.
“We have used Postum for the past
eight years,” writes a Wis. lady, “and
drink it three times a day. We never
tire of it.
“For several years I could scarcely
eat anything on account of dyspepsia,
bloating after meals, palpitation, sick
headache—in fact was in such misery
and distress I tried living on hot water
and toast for nearly a year.
“I had quit coffee, the cause of my
trouble, and was using hot water, but
this was not nourishing.
“Hearing of Postum I began drink
ing it and my ailments disappeared,
and now I can eat anything I want
without trouble.
“My parents and husband had about
the same experience. Mother would
often suffer after eating, while yet
drinking coffee. My husband was a
great coffee drinker and suffered from
indigestion and headache.
“After he stopped coffee and began
Postum both ailments left him. He
will not drink anything else now and
we have it three times a day. I could
write more but am no gusher—only
state plain facts.”
