Cheyenne, here to see what you fellows can do on the hurricane deck of a broncho," Theodore Roosevelt said as a group of cowboys, the hardest riders in the west, gathered about him, mounted on their horses. And he saw all that the' Wild West of today had to show in the way of skill and daring and said that' the spirit of the-west was still alive. As Col.

Roosevelt watched the cowboys at their work, heard the Indians yell and saw the familiar sights of more than 20 years ago, when he was a plainsman, the spirit of it all came over him again and he climbed down from the flag-draped reviewing stand and mounted a big white horse. He galloped around the half-mile track at Frontier Park and past the crowded grandstand, while cowboys yelled, Indians gave their war whoop and the rest of the crowd joined in a tremend- ous shout. He dismounted after one lap, smiling his delight, and went back to his place to see the rest of the fun. No Formality About It. There was no formality about Roosevelt at Cheyenne.

keynote speech for the congressional campaign became known here. The President will favor further revision of the tariff. While he is still convinced that the Payne-Aldrich law is the best tariff law the country has had up to the present time, he has reached the conclusion that there is room improvement. Mr. Taft does not propose that business shall be upset by another wholesale revision, but he will recommend to congress that individual schedules in the tariff system be taken up separately and disposed of on a scientific basis.

The new revision is to be based on the findings of the tariff commission as to the cost of production at home and abroad. Only a fair profit is to be allowed the American producer. "Extortionate and unreasonable" profits, the President declares, are to be tolerated no longer. The President has stated the facts and has outlined his position in detail in the letter he has sent Representative McKinley of Illinois for publication in the Republican congressional campaign book.

The time of making it public has been left to the judgment of the committee. Political observers regard this move as about the shrewdest that has been made during the present administration.
