Jones' Chance.

The Journal devotes a good
deal of space today to discussion of
what is described at Clones Chance
to Be Roosevelt We are inclined
to think that the readers Of TIL
Journal who are interested in muni-
cipal affairs and good government will
be interested in this discussion of the
office of mayor, and. what Mr. Jones
Is expected to make Of it. For our
selves, we expect great things of Mr..
Jones. We are not disposed to bind
burdens and lay upon his back tasks
which are impossible, &but it seems to
us that he has an opportunity, in view
Of his experience, his capabilities and
the preparedness of this community for
new deal, to conduct an administra-
tion which shall be notable.
Some comparison in this discussion of
the mayors functions and opportuni-
ties is made between , the incoming
mayor and the president, with due rec
ognition, however, of the comparative
limitations imposed upon the mayor s
power and authority. At the same time
! GHC ldCC 10 pOIuCCu OuG CldC L IOSlQGuC
Roosevelt s success has depended more
upon his personality than upon his
| large constitutional powers, and results
of notable kind are hoped for and ex-
pected under the incoming city admin
istration because the incoming mayor
possesses a good many of the charac-
teristics which. distinguish our presi-
dent. He is Independent, vigorous, a
man of high ideals and admirably
equipped by natural endowment and
valuable personal experience. He knows
what and he knows how.
| The case of William Rockefeller Of the
Standard Oil company, against Oliver La
mora, an old soldier, who has been striv-
ing to maintain legal rights to fish
in public waters y in the Adirondacks,
has just been, tried again in the
county court at Malone, and decided
| technically against sLamora, for the
sum Of 1S cents. = Ie probably will
appeal. The case has been in the courts
for years. In the forest Rockefeller owns
about $1,000 acres of woodland, around
which he posted warnings not to trespass
| ~, -,
Thru these woods flows the ST. Regis river
and well-defned trails lead to the river
The law provides that trails in use with.
out protest for more than twenty years
shall be public. highways, to all purposes
Lamora, disregardngs the posted notices
warning him off the,Ftrails, was arrested
arraigned before justice and ACQUITTED
But that decision made no difference, TO,
the case was carried from one court t.
another until a decision was rendered il
favor Of Mr.. Rockefeller. -.
The point affects all who hunt or fish
as the streams are stocked by the stat
at public expense, and the wild deer be
longing to the state roam thru the woods
while every year $4,000 is paid out t,
protect fish and game.
This attempt to get control of the eartl
and it's fruits is only a little more obviou
than some of the indirect attempts.

There is a point to be taken for Mr..
Bryan's benefit from the oft-quoted
constitution. Tho the declaration pro-
nounces all persons to be born free and
equal, Article IA of the national con-
stitution excludes from the number of
citizens Indians not taxed Ac-
cording to the Bryan theory, this dis
elimination is a base violation Of the
rights Of man. From the wiser appli,

a just and necessary setting aside of

~1N the evening in question some
Ia thirty or forty miles southeast
IO of Railways camp a train was was
track that led toward the Saginaw
valley. The whole affair was very
crude. To the edge of the right Of
way pushed the dense swamp, like a
black curtain shutting the virgin coun-
try from the view OF civilization.
Across the snow were tracks OF an
finals.
The train consisted of a string of
freight cars, one coach divided half and
half between baggage and smoker, and
a day car occupied by two silent, awk-
ward women and n child. In the smok-
err lounged a dozen men. They were of
various sizes and descriptions, but they
all wore heavy blanket mackinaw
coats, rubber shoes and thick German
socks tied at the knee. The air was
so thick with smoke that the men had
difficulty in distinguishing objects
across the length of the car.
The passengers sprawled in various
attitudes, and their occupations were
diverse. Three nearest the baggage
room door attempted TO sing, but with
out much success. A man in the cor
ner breathed softly through a mouth
organ, to the music of which his seat
mate, leaning his head sideways, gave
close attention. One big fellow with a
square beard staggered back and
forth down the aisle offering TO every
one refreshment from a quart bottle.
1t was rarely refused. OF the dozen
probably three-quarters were more or
less drunk.
After time the smoke became too
dense. A short, thickset fellow with
an evil, dark face coolly thrust his heel
through a window. The conductor,
