The Democrats Memorialize Congress
 for the Reserve.
They Ask That the Public Domain Be Set Aside for Forest Reserve Facts are
 Of Record and Cannot Be Denied.

The responsibility for the forest re- serve proclamation has been charged to the republican party by democrats both of and on the stump.
 However the responsibility rests with the democratic and not with the repub- lican party for the setting aside of the forest reserve in Arizona. The facts in the case are these: Congress in 1891 passed law authorizing the president to reserve by proclamation any forest or timber lands on the public domain. The law further authorized the land d Apartment in the event of such proc Ia ..ation to make regulations concern ing inc use of such forest reserve. This act is still in effect, and no proclama- ton of reservation was ever made of forest lands in Arizona except the Grand Canyon forest reserve. which was made in 1893 by President Cleveland.
 The nineteenth territorial legislature met in Phoenix in January. lS9I. This legislature stood in the council eleven democrats to one republican, and in the hotse twenty-twO democrats to two republicans, and the following was in- trOduced in the house:

 That the forests on the watersheds and mountains which catch and retain the snow that falls during winter and thereby prevent it from melting and evaporating as soon as it falls, are in great danger of being entirely removed by settlers and large lumber companies. to great detriment of our water supply.
 Wherefore. your Memorialists pray that your honorable bodies set apart sufficient of the unclaimed and unap- propriated timber lands on the noun tains and watersheds Tn this Territory to retain the snow and water which falls thereon, in order that the streams throughout the Territory may be sup piled with sufficient water for irriga- tion purposes.

featured snuff and tobacco the inter-
nal revenue tax will be increased
from l to 6 cents. This Ii expected

as it should be. They are very deserv-

though charges have been made
against them they have not been sub.
stantiated. We believe the Legislature
did right in refusing to let the state
printing to the lowest bidder. Letting
to the lowest bidder means cheap work.
The state desires good work, is able to
pay u decent price and the Legislature
should have intelligence enough to fix
maximum prices SO the state would
not he swindled.

| Below are some pleasant remarks our
editorial brethren have made upon the
REPUBLICANS recent improvements.
We appreciate them and think perhaps
they may interest some of our readers.
They indicate to some extent the
standing of this paper among the
newspaper men of this part of
Iowa. We would say to our readers
that we expect to make other improve
ments in the mechanical facilities of
the Office from time to time. The
next improvement will be a new en-
CINE which we expect to get In few
weeks. Having a well equipped Office
is great aid in extending the business
of newspaper. With these better
mechanical facilities we intend to bend
our energies more than ever to the
production of good, strong local and
republican county paper. We hope
for the continued cooperation of re
publicans aid other good citizens in
this work.

For Congressman.

During the past week the announce
ment has been made in some of the re-
publican papers of the district that
Smith Mcpherson will not he Il candi.
date for the congressional nomination
this fall. The reasons assigned are
business ones, as he thinks he canuot
afford to spend the time his candidacy
would require. Mr.. Mcpherson is one
of the able men of the district, and has
been one of the strong men In the
races heretofore. His withdrawal
simplifes matters some.
From the expressions of the republi-
can press of the district we judge there
will be considerable opposition in some
counties to the denomination of Con-
gresham Hager. 1t is possible that
some of the papers do not very correct
ly represent the prevailing republican
sentiment of their localities on this
subject 1t is broadly limited that the
editors Of some of these papers
are favorable or .unfavorable to
Mr.. Hager according to the manner in
which the congressman has advanced
their candidates. for pOstoffices. 1t is
a bold and broad insinuation. Posi-
bly, there is grain of truth in it. Edi-
tors as rule are quite human, and
some of them want the emoluments of
Office.
SO far as we have learned the senti-
ment of the republicans of this county
we think a majority of them favor Il
denomination of Mr.. Hager. He has
proven himself to be an active, ener-
getic and influential representative
He surely has been able to secure re-
cogniton for his constituents. Old
soldiers of his district have had n friend
in him who has had the energy to press
their claims and secure what belonged
to them. He has also shown adroitness
in securing several good government
positions for his constituents.
1t is not always the best speech
maker that makes the best congress.
man. Hager is Il good, strong man in
speech, but he is more, he has the solid
and substantial qualities needed in II
congressman, and he is familiar with
the methods of political life. His ex-
perience now enables him to accom-
plish very much more than amy new
man could hope to accomplish. We
think Audubon county republicans
favor giving him another term, and
this paper surely is favorable to it.
