"Moses B. Clapp is a man with
big and generous nature, who
loves peace and harmony, and by
these same tokens is not a shrewd
politician, as the world under
stands the phrase. So far as his
public record is concerned there
is certainly little to criticise and
much to commend. He has an
nounced himself in accord with
President Roosevelt and public
opinion on the important issues
before the people, and while he
did it somewhat tardily, there is
no decent reason to doubt his

he had become better acquainted with

that he hunted deer with fine bird shot.
The Indian never expected to kill or
even MORALLY wound his game, but he
would follow for miles the blood drops
caused by his little wounds until the
animals in sheer exhaustion allowed
him to approach close enough for a
dispatching blow. At 2 o'clock he re-
turned with small buck, tied scientif-
ically together for toting, with the
waste parts cut away, but every ounce
of utility retained.

might be able to hide in the forest, but
sooner or later, he was sure. one of the
company's land lockers or hunters
would stumble on his camp. Then his
very concealment would tell them
what he was after. The risk was too
great, for, above all things, Thorpe
needed time. He had. as has been said,
to ascertain what he could offer Then
he had to offer it. He would be forced
to interest capital, and that is matter
of persuasion and leisure.
Finally his shrewd, intuitive good
sense flashed the solution on him. He
returned rapidly to his pack, assumed
the straps and arrived at the first dam
about dark Of the long summer day.
There he looked carefully about him.

birches, single big hemIock. With

little white trees. He stuck the sharp

tant, slanted the rest of the saplings
along one side of this ridgepoIe and
turned in, after hasty supper, leaving
the completion of his permanent camp
to the morrow.
In the morning he thatcled smooth
the roof of the shelter, using for the
purpose the thick branches of hemlocks,
placing two green spruce logs side by
side as cooking range. slung his pot on
rod across two forked sticks, cut
and split a quantity of wood, spread
his blankets and called himself estab-
lished.
For some days he made no effort to
look over the pine, nor did he intend
to begin until he could be sure of doing
so in safety. His object now was to
give his knoll the appearance Of a
trapper's camp.
Toward the end of the week he re-
ceived his first visit. Evening was
drawing on. Thorpe was busily en-
gagged in cooking a painful of trout.
Suddenly he became aware of a pres
,ence at his side.
"How doY greeted the newcomer
gravely.
The man was an Indian, silent, SOL

gaze of his race.
How do? replied Thorpe.
The Indian without further cere-
mony threw his pack to the ground,
and, squatting on his heels, watched
the white mans preparations. When
the meal was cooked he coolly pro-
duced knife, selected clean bit of

a ruminative pause.

Ia He young fellow stayed three
weeks and was constant joy
to Thorpe. Thorpe liked the
boy because he was open heart
ed, free from affectation, assumptive
of no superiority-in short, because he
was direct and sincere. Wallace, on
his part, adored in Thorpe the free,
open air life, the adventurous quality,
the quiet, hidden power, the resource
fulness and the self sufficiency of the
pioneer He did anything at all. He
accepted Thorpe for what he thought
him to be rather than for what he
might think him to be.
Little by little the eager questions
of the youth extracted full statement
of the situation. He learned of the
timber thieves up the river, of their
present operations and their probable
plans, of the valuable pine lying still
unclaimed. of Thorpe's stealthy raid
into the enemy's country.
"Why, it's great! It's better than any
book l ever readw
He wanted to know what he could do
to help.
Nothing except keep quiet" replied
Thorpe. You mustn't try to act any
different. If the men from up river
come by, be just as cordial to them as
you can and don't act mysterious and

Gall right" agreed Wallace, bubbling
with excitement "And then what do

SOLVING THE BOIL wEEVIL PROB
LEM.

The Houston Post is the authority
for the statement that the Depart
ment of Agriculture has become in
terested in a cotton tree which
fiourishes in the state Of Jalisco.
Mexico. Jalisco is on the Pacific
side of Mexico. According to the
Post this wonderful tree is now be-
ing SCIENTIFICALLY cultivated on the
plantation of Senior Hilario Cuevas.
1t takes five years for the tree to
reach a point where it will bear cot
ton, but after it begins bearing
it will produce cotton for half
a century or more. 1t is stated
that it yields so prolifcally that
as much as fifty pounds of cot
ton have been taken from a single
tree in a year. The advantage of
the tree is that it is immune to the
holl weevil and all other insects which
attack the cotton plant. The fiber
of the cotton is similar to that of the
upland cotton of this country.
1t seems that it is the purpose of
the Department of Agriculture to ex-
pertinent with the tree, not only in
Texas where the boil evil exists, but
in the other cotton states. BY prop
err cultivation, it is thought, so it
is said, it may be made to take the
place of the cotton plant wherever
the bon weevil has obtained, or sue
ceeds in obtaining, a foothold
If the cotton tree is what it is
said to be, and yields as abundantly,
100 acres of the trees would be about
as nice a fortune as a man would
ly sustain hundred trees, and if
the yield were only twenty-five
pounds to the tree the output would
be FIVE bales to the acre.
1t is probable that when all the
facts are obtained respecting the
wonderful tree it will be found to
be about like the cotton tree that
fiourishes in the Philippines. Some
Of the cotton from the cotton tree
in those islands was received in this
city a couple of years ago. The bolls

ago. II is to be hoped, OF course,
that II can be used effectively in

THE QUESTION OF BIENNIAL SEES
sIONS,

Some days ago we suggested that
the weekly newspapers Of the different
counties should take up the question
of biennial sessions of the Legisla-
ture, and insist that candidates for
the Legislature should state their po-
sition on that question. We know no
easier way in which the cost of the
state government can be reduced
good many thousand dollars year
than by making the sessions Of the
Legislature biennial.
There are only five states now which
have annual sessions. They are New
York, Massachusetts. New Jersey,
Rhode Island and Georgia. A bill was
introduced in the New York Legisla-
ture a few days ago providing for
biennial sessions in that state. 1t is
probable that it will take several years
to get the people so interested in it
that they will insist upon its passage.
There are so many large cities in New
York that there is a pretty general
opinion there that there ought to be
a session of the Legislature every year
to provide changes in the laws or
new laws required for the govern
ment of these cities. But it is prob
able that there will be biennial ses-
sions eventually.
There are three states in which the
Legislature meets only once in four
years. They are Mississippi, Louisi-
ana and Alabama. All the rest Of the
states have limited biennial sessions.
And they are so we'll satisfied that
they couldn't be induced to return to
the annual session system.
There is no good reason why there
should be annual sessions in this state,
and there wouldn't be if the matter
were properly presented to the people
for their decision. 1t is for the pur-
pose of getting it before the people
that we are asking the weekly news
papers to take it up and insist that
candidates for the Legislature shall
take position upon it. The people
will likely send those to the Legis-
Iature who favor biennial sessions.
There is no use of going over the
in favor of biennial sessions.
They have been stated often in the /
public prints. Besides, as far as we
are informed, the people know and
approve them. The thing to be done
now is to get a Legislature that will
act in the matter-that win submit
the question to the people. The money
that would be saved by biennial ses-
sions is badly needed by about every
one Of the states institutions.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem.) says: why not let Congress
investigate the Postoffice Department
and let the Postoffice Department in
vestigate Congress? Now that they
have fallen out, the country might
get the truth. The plan would GER
tainly be better than the Roosevelt
method of allowing the Postofice De-
partment to investigate itself, to the
extent and in the manner that it or
he may choose"
The Houston Post Dem.) says:
From the Democratic standpoint, the
question of who is to boss the New
York Republicans is not nearly so inn
portant as the fact that those who
are fighting over the matter are every
day increasing the chances of Demo-
cratic victory this fail. The present
indications are plainly in favor of the
sending of a Parker delegation to st
Louis, and if the chief judge is honored
with the nomination there can be no
doubt of his ability to carry his state.
His own strength and individuality will
be mainly responsible for this, but
the discussions in the Republican
ranks will, of course, be factor"
