T. is now in the city visiting the Order and reports a great success in every part of the State. This order stands at the head of all others in its wise laws and the carrying out of the same. The Grand Lodge buries all their dead and gives a policy of $125, at the death of each member, who dies in good standing. The Order has purchased a home for aged U. B. F. and S. M. T. for which they paid cash, $5,000. It is located at Hannibal, and they have on hand today a cash balance of $16,000. The present officers of the Grand Lodge, have served four years and under the constitution all must vacate and let others come in and take charge of affairs. All these laws were enacted under our Past Grand Master Willis N. Brent during his administration and the same have been carried out. Candidates for Grand Master are: S. E. Howard, Independence, Mo.; J. H. Williams, Columbia; Wm. H. Harvison, Jefferson City; C. C. Hubbard, Sedalia, Mo.; Dr. J. T. Caston, Jefferson City; and a dark horse.

For Grand Treasurer some man from St. Louis should have that office. Kansas City should have the Deputy Grand Master. In looking over the field of the Order we believe the different places should go to the person or persons that have shown their zeal for the up-building of the Order, not a lot of doctors, preachers, teachers, editors or politicians should fill any of the places unless they have shown an interest in the advancement of the Order. Lock well to the entries of all candidates. Announcement. I beg to announce that I have established offices and will be engaged in the general practice of the law in the Wright Building, northwest corner of Eighth and Pine streets. JOSEPH M'COY. See Dr. T.

I told her that I was lame, and had not money enough to buy a L—a—R—J—.

We trust it will not be long until she has entirely recovered. Principal Agee, of the Garnett school, has handed in his resignation and expects to take up general soliciting and real estate business, which will afford more out door life and be conducive, he hopes, to better health. A grand reception will be given to the grand master, S. T. Pettigrew, Friday, June 21. All brothers and sisters invited to attend. The attendance on that occasion should not be less than 800. U. B.

To the Citizens of the State of Missouri: On February 13, 1907, fifty delegates representing ten counties and the largest cities in the state, assembled in the state house in Jefferson City to enter protest against the separate car law which had already passed the state senate, and to appeal to the reason, liberality and good judgment of the railroad committee and other members of the house of representatives who were present, to keep the proposed bill from becoming a law. We are thankful to say that the better judgment of that body prevailed and we have been spared the humiliation to which our people are subjected in many of the other states. The success which attended our efforts upon this occasion indicates clearly that, with organization throughout the state and discreet management, we can do much toward creating a healthy public opinion in regard to all matters bearing upon the interests of our race. The Negro is under criticism; he needs defense; his civil and political rights are in jeopardy; he needs protection. For these reasons the delegation adopted a resolution while assembled in the A. M. E. church, Jefferson City, Mo., February 13, 1907, instructing the president and secretary of that gathering to invite a solemn convocation of the people of Missouri through their representatives, for the purpose of considering the advisability of a permanent organization. The meeting is hereby called to convene in St. Louis, Mo., opening in Central Baptist church, July 10, at 9 a.m. and closing in St. Paul A. M. E. church, July 11. All religious denom- HENRY R. TAYLOR, DEAD, WAS A SCOTTISH RITE MASON. Henry R. Taylor died at his home, 2656 Morgan street, Thursday, June 6. He was one of the oldest citizens and also caterers in St. Louis and had lived here over 60 years. He was born at Jefferson Barracks in 1843, and was, one might say, a life time resident of the city. He was Past Master of True Blue Lodge A. F. and A. M., a Knight Templar and a prominent member of Star of the East Consistory Scottish Rite Masons. He was also identified with the Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, and United Bros, of Friendship and was for ten years president of the Caterer's and Watiers' Club of which he was the founder; he was formerly treasurer of St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, from which he was buried Monday, June 10, under the auspices of the Masonic Order. Midnight services were held over the body last Sunday night by the Scottish Rite Masons at St. Paul Chapel. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Cornelia H. Taylor, one daughter, Mrs. Eva Taylor Hopsen, and two sons, Henry R. J. and Leslie M. Taylor. A brother, John Taylor also survives him.

A brain storm may be only an unusual number of "thought vibrations" converging into a vortex. San Salvador has disbanded its army. In other words, the government told the man he might go home and raise bananas. A Connecticut fisherman claims to have seen a red-headed red-evil-fish which stood on its tail and hissed at him. Too much bait. A Chicago University professor thinks that "Americans are too blood-thirsty." Move to amend by excerpting the word "blood." Dr. Philputt says there are more good wives than good husbands, but maybe he is only judging by the volume of conversation. To think of their calling that poor Spanish prince "Alfonso Pio Cristino Eduardo!" The boys will probably call him Pi, for short! If German scientists have really discovered a cure for tuberculosis threest of the world will applaud their de liberate methods of study. Grandfather Gould may have thought tennis frivolous beside money-making schemes, but young Jay Gould thinks it is just the racket. Mark Twain may be expected to have a lct of fun with the Detroit official who has declared that one of his stories is "literary junk." Henry James says that he has never heard an American woman say "thank you." Poor fellow, what bad company he must have kept in his native land. "Do something different every day. Get out of bed with a different leg first every morning." Thus Julian Hawthorne, who evidently expects us to remain in bed after the second day. A South Carolina paper opines that "the tone of a bullfrog is the sweetest note in nature's music." There's no accounting for tastes, as the old woman said when she kissed the cow. Sir Frederick Treves says that London fogs must be abolished to save the lives of the people. Send for some live Yankee and he will find a method to concentrate them and use them for irrigation. John L. Sullivan's definition of a mollycoddle—a guy who says "fudge" when he ought to be sending right and left to the jaw—is unnecessarily prolix. A guy who says "fudge," would be sufficient. The nation is given to understand by the action of the president in waiving a cabinet meeting to jump hurdles that physical exercise is as important toward good citizenship as the exertion of gray matter. There was quite a mystery about the bridal of Miss Terry, who, in spite of her spinister prefix, is now making happy a third husband. The poet must have had her in mind when he said, "Time cannot wither, nor custom stale her infinite variety." Brave as Kuroki is, he cannot fail to see manifold reasons, in America, why he should have the welfare of his own country in mind when he says that he hopes the bonds between the United States and Japan will be strengthened with the passing years. When a man gambles and doesn't win, and then speculates and loses a few times, his gig is fully persuaded that he does it on purpose to keep her out of that exalted station in life where she would be such a bright and shining ornament. It never occurs to her, says the Nashville American, that she might dazzle a tew where she is at. Taskeegee institute now owns 2,000 acres of land, 83 buildings, dwellings, dormitories, class-rooms, shops and barns, live stock, farm implements, etc., all valued at $55,000. Besides, it has 22,000 acres of public lands granted by congress, valued at $125,000, and an endowment fund of $1,275,000. The institute now has over 1,800 pupils in all its departments, and is growing every year. In a railway carriage, perched an a cliff overhanging the Severn, near Bridgnorth, England, lives Henry Hudson, a man who has traveled extensively, published more than one novel and written for scientific magazines. He adopted his strange mode of life partly from a love of nature, says an English correspondent. He builds coracles, which he sends to Norway, and has invented socks made from wood, which are being considered by the British military authorities. Mrs. Roosevelt has chosen to ally herself with that part of society which goes in for uplifting. She has sedulously avoided the merely frivolous. Her name is on the list of patrons of art and music. She is pledged, when her husband leaves office, to aid in the establishment of a national academy of art and of a national conservatory, both to be supported by government funds. It is understood that she wishes to go down in White House annals as the most intelligent and conscientious collector of historic china who has ever graced the stately mansion. W. M.

JUDGE'S CHARGE WAS FAIR It Was the Sentiment of the Opposing Lawyers that It Was as Evenly Balanced as Could Be. San Francisco—A jury of twelve of his peers has declared Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz guilty of the crime of extortion as charged against him by the Oliver grand jury. The jury was out just one hour and thirty-five minutes. They elected Charles E. Capp foreman and at once proceeded to an informal ballot. This was cast verbally and stood eleven for conviction, one for acquittal, Juror Burns, a shoemaker, casting the dissenting vote. First Formal Ballot Was Unanimous. Then the twelve men began a discussion of the evidence, which lasted for nearly an hour. At the end of that time the first formal ballot was cast. It was a written ballot and was unanimous for conviction. The jurymen issued this statement to the press immediately after their dismissal by the court: "In justice to Juror Burns, it should be explained that he did not vote for acquittal because he was dissatisfied with the evidence or believed there was any doubt of the defendant's guilt. Two forms of verdict were given to the jury, and the consecutive reading of these momentarily confused Mr. Burns. As soon as he understood the matter he cast his vote with the other eleven and the verdict was accomplished." Mr. Burns approved this statement as correct. Even before Judge Dunne reached the synagogue, hurried thither by an automobile, nearly a thousand men had gathered in Bush street and were clamoring at the doors to be let in. They were kept out until the twelve men had been brought in and seated. As Judge Dunne reached his chambers by a rearway, the crowd surged into the building from the front. Then there was another wait of five minutes. The mayor came promptly in his touring car, Metcon, and Fairall, Barrett and Drew accompanying him. They pressed down the aisle and quickly took their accustomed seats at that end of the counsel table farthest from the jury. The Last Day's Work. The morning of the last day of the mayor's trial was taken up with Mr. Campbell's closing address to the jury for the defense, a speech of great vigor. The afternoon from 2:30 until after 5 o'clock was consumed by Assistant District Attorney Henley in a fiery closing speech for the state. The reading by Judge Dunne of his charge to the jury occupied the best part of an hour. Throughout all the afternoon the unprecedented crowd that filled every seat and nook in the audience room and galleries of the synagogue sat or stood tight wedged, tense and unweary. It was the sentiment, equally expressed at bith sides of the long table where the opposing lawyers sat, that Judge Dunne's charge was as fair as nicely balanced in the scales of judicial indifference as a judge's charge may be. QUIET DAY FOR ROOSEVELT. Indulges in None of His Favorite Pactimes First Day of Vacation. Oyster Bay, N. Y.—President Roosevelt spent the first day of his vacation without indulging in any of his favorite occupations for recreation and exercise. He did not go for his customary morning horseback ride; he did not exercise with the ax at the Sagamore hill woodpile; he did not take a row in Oyster bay. Aside from the three hours he was occupied with Secretary Loeb in the dispatch of official business, he spent the whole day in arranging household belongings. Lightning Kills Illinois Man. Mount Vernon, Ill.—James McCoy, aged 24 years, was struck by lightning and instantly killed during a thunderstorm that prevailed here. His clothing was torn off and the bolt charred portions of his body from head to foot. Five Killed in Earthquake Santiago, Chile—A severe earthquake was experienced at Valviva. Several buildings and the railroad bridges there were destroyed and five persons were killed. Favors Central American Federation. Mexico City—The following cable dispatch was received from President Zelaya of Nicaragua: "The revolution headed by Dr. Alfara has assumed significant proportions. He is in favor of the confederation of Central American republics." Suffering from Bakers' Lockout. Warsaw, Russian Poland—This city is suffering from a bakers' lockout, which promises to be the beginning of a general anti-socialist movement.

Editors comprising the Missouri State Press Association will soon be the joint possessors of a camping, hunting and fishing ground, unless the sentiment diminishes which marked the closing minutes of the forty-first annual convention at the Laclede ho- el Friday. The movement was start- ed by President Philip Gansz of the Macon Republican, who painted in such glowing colors the delights of a spot in the southern Ozarks, where the streams purl and the trees mur- mur, and the pen may be laid aside for the fishing rod and the shears for the gun, that the editors fairly shouted when he had finished, and made a mo- tion that a committee be appointed to take up the matter and report as soon as possible. President Gansz will an- nounce the committee within a few days. W. T. Curtis’ Newport Buffet, 2323 MARKET STREET. Wines, Liquers and Cigars. The Brunswick Saloon, G. W.

WHAT'S THE USE. The republican party managers, during the campaign last fall, were prolific in their promises to the Negro voters as to what they would do for the Negroes if they would only turn out solidly at the polls and help defeat the democrats. The Negroes, accordingly, dfl everything within their power, worked earnestly and without intermission to render every aid, and by their 10,000 votes put the republicans in charge of the offices. The republican office-holders and managers have since shown themselves to be as barren of performance as they were prolific of promise. They have very generously (?) given us $ \frac{1}{4} $ of one per cent of the appetitive places, when, according to the vote we cast, our allotment should have been 16 2-3 per cent. Our carpet-bagger chairman of the city committee, in discussing the claims of the Negroes, remarked: 'Oh, let the Negroes wait; there are plenty of white men to be placed.' By this class of men have the Negroes been buncowed, and will continue to be buncowed just as long as such men are managers of party affairs. Municipal positions formerly held by Negroes, even under democratic administrations, are, under the present conditions, thought to be, by this young political Napoleon, too good for the Negro, and he has provided an extra janitorship or two instead. In this manner has the party's pledges to its most loyal adherents been redeemed. By these actions we are expected to become enthusiastic and hold ourselves in readiness to rush to its rescue in the time of its need. Well, maybe we will, but again we say WHAT'S THE USE. We present this week a number of middle age and old ladies. Next week we will fire out about 26 women who are in the forties and fifties, who say they are only 30. Watch out for them. One young woman about 48 said if I published her name, she would throw vitriol in my face. All right, old girl, when you throw it you will suffer the consequences. Next week we will give about 25 more names of those who claim that they are not more than 30. We will let the public judge. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS. The B. Y. P. U. financial rally program was well rendered last Sunday and the sermon of Dr. Geo. W. Gaines was one of the best that was ever heard in the First Baptist church before; in fact, the many good things that were said by the reverend gentleman will stand as a blazen monument in the hearts of those who were present for ages. Very sorry that his sermon can not be given in full at this time. The collection amounted to more than $11.00. A revival of two weeks' duration was started last Sunday night for the purpose of gaining souls for the Master. It is hoped that the meeting will be a great success. Rev. R. H. Cole has for his assistant Rev. Harris, an evangelist of note, who is doing his very best to make the meeting a glorious success. Miss Imeilda Davis, daughter of Mrs. Clara E.

Almost 4,000 People in Attendance at His Picnic of June 3. Most Notable Feature of the Picnic Was the Large Number of Prominent People in Attend- That Harry Denny is the most popular manager of picnics for the Colored people was again demonstrated on the afternoon and evening of June 3, when he drew an attendance of 3,465, among whom were such prominent people as Miss Curtis, Mrs. Holt, Mrs. Reddle, Mrs. Grace Jackson, of New York; Mrs. Lilia Sharp, Mrs. Mamie Avent and company, Miss Johnnie Yopp, Miss Oaks, Mr. Pitts and wife, Mr. Weaver and wife, Mr. and Mrs. L.

Blumfeld, also some of the leading ladies of the American Beauty Club, Mrs. Julia McGinnis, Mrs. Mahala Denny, Mrs. Clara Pierce, Mrs. Lulu Smith, Mrs. Ida Smith, Miss Mamie Harris, Mrs. Anna Youbanks. The ladies of the American Beauty Club were entertained by Messrs. Charles Ming and Will Sanders. There were a large number of the prominent people in attendance whose names the reporter did not obtain, but nevertheless they were there. The picnic was a very orderly one, a fact which has been commented upon a great deal. Several, of Louis Nolte's deputy sheriffs found their way to the grove, as well as a number of other well known men of their coterie. The day was ar ideal one and the weather was all that could be desired. Messrs. Willie Smith and S. P. McGinnis were kept very busy looking after the comforts of the great crowd, and extended cordial greetings to everyone, and especially did they perform their duty well toward the beautiful ladies in attendance. Samuel Woods, the general manager of the C. C. E., under whose auspices this picnic was held, has endured himself in the hearts of the members and his associates for the success achieved in advertising this picnic, and promises to do better the next time. He is already making preparations for the picnic to be given on July 1 at Bloemecke's Grove under the auspices of the C. C. E., of which Harry Denny is the president. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Rev. J. L.

Artless Appeal That Touched the Heart of Jefferson Davis. Humor lightens everything, even grim war. Jefferson Davis, with all the weight of a losing cause on his shoulders, could yet spare time to appreciate and respond to an artless appeal. The incident is related by Capt. Sutherland. Among the numerous papers received by the confederate president, the following turned up one day: "Dear Mr. President—I want you to let Jeems C. of Co. onth, 5th South Carolina Regiment, come home and get married. Jeems is willin', but Jeems Capt'in he ain't willin'. Now when we all are willin' 'cept Jeems Capt'in, I think you might let up and let Jeems come. I'll make him go straight back when he's done got married and fight hard as ever. "Your affectionate friend," and so forth. Mrs. Davis, telling the story, adds that Mr. Davis wrote his directions in regard to the matter on the back of the letter. They were: "Let Jeems go."—Youth's Companion. CHOICE OF TWO EVILS. Request That Was by No Means a Compliment for Papa. A New York scientist, the father of a large and growing family, has his troubles. One evening his youngest was holding forth in her best style. The mother could do nothing with the child, so the man of science went to the rescue. "I think I can quiet little Flora," he said. "There's no use humming to her in that silly way. What she wants is roal music. The fact that I used to sing in the Glee club at Yale and sang well, too, may make a difference." Accordingly, the professor took the child and, striding up and down the room, sang in his best manner. He had not finished the second verse of his song, when a ring was heard. The door was opened, and there stood a girl of 14, who said: "I'm one of the family that's just moved into the flat next to yours. There's a sick person with us, and he says, if it's all the same to you, would you mind letting the baby cry 'instead of singing to it?'—Success. Senator Morgan a Model Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama, occasionally writes magazine articles which involve a great deal of research, but he uniformly refuses to accept pay for them. In the course of his career many railroad passes have been offered him, but he never accepted any either for himself or any member of his family.

The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red Blood and Performs Wonders as a Tonic for the Nerves. Why are nervous people invariably pale people? The answer to that question explains why a remedy that acts on the blood can cure nervous troubles. It explains why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are also for nervous people. It is because of the intimate relation between the red corpuscles in the blood and the health of the nerves. The nervous system receives its nourishment through the blood. Let the blood become thin, weak and colorless and the nerves are starved—the victim is started on the road that leads to nervous wreck. Nervous people are pale people—but the pallor comes first. Enrich the blood and the nerves as stimulated and toned up to do their part of the work of the body. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make red blood and transform nervous, irritable, ailing people into strong, energetic, forceful men and women. Mrs. Harriet E. Porter, of 20 Liberty avenue, South Medford, Mass., says: avenue, South Medford, Mass., says: "I had never been well from childhood and a few years ago I began to have dizzy spells. At such times I could not walk straight. I was afraid of paralysis and was on the verge of nervous prostration. Then neuralgia set in and affected the side of my face. The pains in my forehead were excruciating and my heart pained me so that my doctor feared neuralgia of the heart. I tried several different kinds of treatment but they did me no good. I was also hurt by some of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I found that they strengthened my nerves. I took several boxes and felt better in every way. There were no more dizzy attacks, the neuralgia left me and I have been a well woman ever since." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are invaluable in anxia, rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and fevers and in sick headaches, nervousness, neuralgia, and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.

THE PRESIDENT TO EDITORS Roosevelt Delivers a Notable Address at Jamestown, Va. Speaks Before the Delegates to the National Editorial Association---Touches Upon Important National Questions. Jamestown, Va. -The following is the address of President Roosevelt before the National Editorial association at the exposition, here. It is of course a mere truism to say that no other body of our countrymen wield as extensive an influence as those who write for the daily press and for the periodicals. It is also a truism to say that such power implies the gravest responsibility, and the man exercising it should hold himself accountable, and should be hold by others accountable, precisely as he occupied any other position of public trust. It is also the responsibility your duties to-day, save that I shall permit myself to point out one matter where it seems to me that the need of our people is vital. It is essential that the man in public life and the man who writes in the public press shall both of them, if they are really good servants of the people, be prompt to assail wrongdoing and wickedness. But in thus assailment, there are two conditions and wickedness, there are if unfulfilled, harm and not good will result. In the first place, be sure of your facts and avoid everything like hysteria or exaggeration; for to assail a decent man for something of which he is innocent to give aid and to every scoundrel, while indulgence in hysterical exaggeration serves to serve the statement of truth. In the second place, be sure of your judgment on conduct and not on the social and economic position of the individual with whom you are dealing. There are good and bad men in every walk of life, and their being good or bad does not depend upon whether they have or do not have large bank accounts. Yet this elemental fact, this fact which we all know, is the fact that each of us of the people whom he himself knows in his business and social relations, is often completely ignored by certain public men and certain public writers. The men who thus ignore it and who attack wickedness only when found in a particular class are always unsafe, and are sometimes very dangerous, leaders. Distrust equally the man who has been wicked, the vicees of rich men to attack and the man who confines himself to attacking the sins and shortcomings of rich men. It is a sure sign of moral and mental dishonesty in any man if in his public assaults upon iniquity he is never able to see any iniquity save that of a particular man, and that whether he is able only to see the iniquity of his finance and oppression in the rich or the crimes of envy and violence in the poor. So much for what I have to say to you in your capacity of molders and guides of public thought. In addition I want to speak to you on two great movements in our public life which I think occupy no inconsiderable part of the human men in the near future. One of these is the question of, in certain ways, reshaping our system of taxation so as to make it bear most heavily on those most capable of supporting the strain. The other is a question of utilizing the natural resource of the nation in the way that will be of most benefit to the nation as a whole. Need of Foresight In utilizing and conserving the natural resources of the nation the one characteristic more essential than any other is foresight. Unfortunately, foresight is not usually characteristic of a young and vigorous people, and it is obviously not a marked characteristic of us in the United States. Yet assuredly it should be the growth of our nation takes the long look ahead; and no other nation is growing so rapidly as ours or has a future so full of promise. No other nation enjoys so wonderful a measure of present prosperity which can of right be treated as an earnest of future success, and for no other are the rewards of foresight so great, so plausible, and so easily foretold. Yet hitherto as a nation of foresight we have with an eye single to the present, and have permitted the reckless waste and destruction of much of our natural wealth. The conservation of our natural resources and their proper use constitute the fundamental problem which underlies almost every other problem of our nation. We must make an adequate material basis for our civilization we can not maintain the institutions in which we take so great and just a pride; and to waste and destroy our natural resources means to undermine this material basis. During the last five years we directed our directions in the government service to get our people to look ahead, to exercise foresight, and to substitute a planned and orderly development of our resources in the place of a haphazard striving for a better future. This has been made through several agencies. In 1902 the reclamation service began to develop the larger opportunities of the western half of our country for irrigation. The work includes all the states from the great plains through the Rocky mountain and is conducted with the clear and definite purpose of using the valuable water resources of the public land for the greatest good for the greatest number in the long run; in other words, for the purpose of putting upon the land permanent home upon which we use it for themselves and their children and children's children. There has been opposition, of course, to this work of the reclamation service; for we have been obliged to antagonize certain men whose interest it was to exhaust for their own temporary personal profit nature opened through use, so as to be conserved for the permanent common advantage of the people as a whole. But there will be no halt in the work of preserving the waters which head in the Rocky mountain region so as to make them of most use to the people as a whole; for the rocky is essential to our national welfare. Operations of Land Laws. The public lands of the United States should be utilized in similar fashion. Our present public land laws were passed when there was a vast surplus of vacant public land. The chief desire was to secure settlers thereon, and continue to exactly how the lands were disposed or in detail. In consequence, lax execution of the laws became the rule both in the land office and in the public mind, and land frauds were common rule when a system originally designed for the fertile and well-watered regions of the middle west was applied to the dryer regions of the great plains and to the mountains and the Pacific coast. In these regions the system lent its character to one of the hands of the government, without passing into the hands of the home maker. The department of the interior and the department of justice joined in prosecuting the offenders against the law; but both the law and its administration were defective and it should be changed. Three years ago a public landlord decided to scrutinize the law and the facts and to recommend a remedy. Their examination specifically showed the existence of great frauds upon the public domain, and their recommendations for changes in the law were made with the design of conserving the natural resources by putting it to its best use. Attention was especially called to the prevention of settlement by the passage of great areas of public lands into the hands of a few men, and to the enormous waste caused by unrestricted grazing on the open range; a system of using the natural resources by putting it to its best use amounts to putting a premium on its destruction. The recommendations of the public lands commission were sound, for they were especially in the interest of the actual home maker; and where the small home maker could not utilize the government should keep control of it, so it could not be monopolized by a few wealthy men. Congress has not yet acted upon these recommendations, except for the repeal of the iniquitous lieu-land law. But the recommendations are so just and proper, so essential to our society, that they will surely ultimately be adopted. In 1891 congress authorized the president to create national forests in the public domain. These forests reserves remained for a long time in charge of the general land office, which had no men properly trained in forestry. But another department, that of agriculture, had been created to manage the words, the government forests were without foresters and the government foresters without forests. Waste of effort and waste of forests inevitably followed. Finally the situation was ended in 1905 by the creation of the United States forest service, which has stopped the waste, conserved the resources of the national forests, and made them useful. The forest service managed on a coherent plan, and in a way that augurs well for the future. The mineral fuels of the eastern United States have already passed into the hands of large private owners, and those of the west are rapidly following. This should not be, for such mineral resources are scarce, but people. Under private control there is much waste from the shortsighted methods of working, and the complete utilization is often sacrificed for a greater immediate profit. The mineral fuels under our present conditions are as essentiae to our prosperity as the forces always in our direction, different than that the supply is definitely limited, for coal does not grow and trees do. It is obvious that the mineral fuels should be conserved, not wasted, and that enough of them should remain in the hands of the government to meet the people and the need for or extortionary profit far as that can still be done. What has been accomplished in the regulation of the great oil fields of the Indian territory offers a striking example of the good results of such a policy. Last summer, accordingly, I withdrew most of the oil from disposal, and asked for the legislation necessary to protect the public interest by the conservation of the mineral fuels; that is, for the power to keep the fee in the government and to lease the coal, oil, and gas rights under proper regulation. No such legislation will ultimately get it. Preserve Mineral Resources. In addition to treating aright for the benefit of the whole people the forests and the mineral beds, we should similarly try to preserve for the benefit of all the people the great stretches of public domain, some three hundred million acres in all, which are unit for cultivation by present methods and valuable only for the forage which they supply. Most forage is harvested by grazing of cattle, sheep, horses and goats, without restriction or regulation. When population has increased, as is now the case, such utter lack of management means that the public domain is turned over to be skimmed by men whose only concern is to get what they can out of it at the moment, without any regard to whether or not it is ruined so far as the next generation is concerned. In other words, the range is not so much extensive as by abuse and an incident conflict and bloodshed frequently arise between opposing users. With the rapid settling of the west the range is more and more overgrazed. Moreover, much of it can not be used to advantage unless it is fenced, for fencing is the only way by which to keep in check the absence owners of normals in the pasture by abusing utterly destroying the pasture and leaving a waste behind, so that their presence is compatible with the presence of home makers. Prevention of Frauds. For several years we have been doing everything in our power to prevent fraud upon the public land. What can be done under the present laws is now being done through the joint action of the interior department and the department of justice. But fully to accomplish this task, we must further legislation and especially of a sufficient appropriation to permit the department of the interior to examine certain classes of entries on the ground before they pass into private ownership. The appropriation asked for last year to grant the department have put an end to the granting of private domain, while it would have prevented any need of causing hardship to individual settlers by holding up their clauses. However, the appropriation was not given us, and in consequence it is not possible to secure, as I would like to secure, the natural resources of the public from fraud, waste and encroachment. So much for what we are trying to do in utilizing our public lands for the public; in securing the use of the water, the forage, the coal and the timber for the public. In all four movements my chief adviser, and the man first to suggest the use of the water, proved so beneficial, was Mr. Gifford Pinchot, the chief of the national forest service. Mr. Pinchot also suggested to me a movement supplementary to all of these movements; one which will itself lead the way in the general movement which he represents and with which he is accurately identified for the conservation of our natural resources. This was the appointment of the inland waterways commission. The inability of the railroads of the United States to meet the demands upon them has drawn public attention forcibly to the use of our waterways for transportation. But it is obvious that this is only one of their many uses, and that a planned and orderly development is impossible except by taking into account all the services upon open access and upon this ground that the inland waterways commission was recently appointed. Their duty is to propose a comprehensive plan for the improvement and utilization of those great waterways which are the great potential highways of the country. Their duty is also to bring together the points of view of all users of streams, and to submit a general plan for the development of open access and upon this ground that the inland waterways of the United States. Clearly it is impossible for the waterways commission to accomplish its great task without considering the relation of streams to the conservation and use of all other natural resources, and I have asked that it do so. Here, then, for the first time, the orderly development and management of natural resources is presented as a single problem. One by one the individual tasks in this great problem have already been undertaken. One by one in practical fashion the methods of dealing with them were worked out. National irrigation has proved itself a success by its actual working. Again, actual experience has shown that the national forests will fulfill the larger purpose for which they were created. The subject have come to see that the solution of the public lands question lies with the home maker, with the settler who lives on his land and that government control of the mineral fuels and the public grazing lands is necessary and inequitable. Each of these conclusions represented a movement of vast importance which would confer benefits upon the nation but which itself are connected together into one great fundamental problem—that of the conservation of all our natural resources. Upon the wise solution of this, much of our future obviously depends. Even such questions as the regulation of railway rates and the control of corporations are in reality subsidiary to the primal problem of the preservation of the natural resources that nature has given us. If we fail to solve this problem, no skill in solving the others will in the end avail us very greatly. Now as to the matter of taxation. Most great civilized countries have an income tax and an inheritance tax. In my judgment both should be part of our system of federal taxation. I speak diffidently about the income tax because one scheme for an income tax was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court by a five to four votes; and in addition it is a difficult tax to administer in its practical workings, but care would have to exercise to see that it was not evaded by the very man whom it is most desirable to have taxed, for if so evaded it would of course be worse than no tax at all, as the least desirable of all taxes is the tax which bears heavily upon the honest as compared with the dishonest man. Nevertheless, a graduated income tax of the proper type would be the best permanent feature of federal taxation. I hope that one may be devised which the supreme court will declare constitutional.

Five acres of land near Manchester have been purchased, and large works will be erected for its production. United States Consul Reports. Our Queer Sense of Humor.

In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of variegated thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes.

When he had a case on, we used to go in droves to hear him plead. “I remember to this day a story that he once told in court in a case where he was showing how, with a good motive, one might still do a lot of harm. ‘ “He said that two aged Scotch min- isters sac talking one day over their church warden pipes. “‘Last Sawbath,’ said the younger of the two old men, ‘only three folk cam’ to my kirk, and, since it was an awfu’ cauld, snawy, stormy mornin’, k juist took them over to the manse, read a chapter, gied them a prayer, and then, to ward off the rheumatism, a guid stiff glass of the best whisky.’ “The other minister smiled. “*Aweel.’ he said, ‘ye will hae a fine eongresation, my brither, the next stormy day."”” ‘Piss Sie Reena OMeNeNeR; At its graduation ceremony in March the University of Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, conferred the degree of LL.

The editor of a paper out in Okla., said: “Yes, it is true when I got hold of Grape-Nuts food, it was worth more than a $2000 doctor bill to me, for it made me a well man. I have gained 25 pounds in weight, my strength has returned tenfold, my brain power has been given back to me, and that is an absolute essential, for I am an editor and have been for 35 years. “My pen shall always be ready to speak a good word for this powerful nutritive food. I had of course often read the advertisements regarding Grape-Nuts, but never thought to ap- ply the food to my own use, until, in my extremity and sickness the thought came to me that it might fit my case. The statements in regard'to the food are absolutely correct, as Ihave proven in my own case, One very fortupate thing about the food is that while it is the most scientifically made and high- ly nourishing, concentrated food I have ever known, it has so delicious a taste that it wins and holds friends.” “There's a Reason.” Read “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs.

Since 1880 more than 700,000,000,000 feet of timber have been cut in the United States for lumber alone, in- cluding 80,060,000,000 feet of conifer- ‘ous stumpage estimate of the census in 1880, Starch, like everything else, is be ing constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior tc those of the present day. In the lat- est discovery—Defiance Starch—all in- jurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, in- vented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never ap- proached by other brands.

Wants the Rod Restored. ‘The Shanghai Times editor says: ‘The jail has been weil administered, but is fuller than it should be, due, I fear, to the abolition of the cangue and tamboo. The ordinary criminal has no great objection to repeated short visits to the jail, but shrinks from a repetition of corporal punish- ment. Punishment with the bamboo is in vogue throughout China, and here only has it by special edict been abolished. We depzecate the Chinese authorities making this settlement a tield for experiment, and will press for the reintroduction of this salu: tary method of punishment. An Artistic Idea. “I don't mind paying for a picture if it's a good, natural likeness,” said the rich man to the fashionable ar- tist, to whom he was to sit for his portrait. “O, it 1s quite characteristic and natural, I assitre you,” replied the ar- tist. “I flatter myself that easy atti- tude with your hand in your pocket is quite a neat touch.” And so it proved when the bill came in.
