The Right Men in the Wrong PIace---By Martin Green.

Y SEE said the Cigar Store Man, that they have picked another
railroad man to supervise the building of the Panama Canal"
1T ought to be apparent by this time" replied the Man Higher
Up, that the President and the Secretary OF War are of the opinion
that the chief qualification for a canal builder is experience in handling
traffic over a railroad line. The President is pushed in on railroad men.
He made Paul Morton Secretary of the Navy.
"In the meal time W e are turning out every year from West Point the
best engineers in the United States The are educated at the Government
expense and are in the Government service as members of the army for life.
What's the matter with giving the Engineering Corps a chance at the
Canal?
There ought to be, among all the living graduates of West Point who
are still vigorous and active, a nal capable of tackling the job. Many of
the oldtimers have had wide experience in public works and have reputa-

TWO BRADYS.

Mr.. Nicholas F. Brady is the son of Anthony N. Brady, we'll known
TO public execraton through his Brooklyn street railroads. Nicholas r.
Brady has a tender spot in his heart. 1t greved him to watch the fate OF
the old fire eneine horses after their days of use to the city are over and
they are sold at auction to tn. trckmen md huckSters who can get a few
more months work out of them.
Nh. Nicholas F. Brady has bought a number of these old fire horses
and has turned them out on a farm where they can spend the remaining
years of their lives in equine luxury. This IS a nice thing for Mr.. Nicholas
F. Brady to do and he deserves credit for his efforts to ameiorate the
condition of dumb animals in their old age.
If Anthony N. Brady would only manifest a little of the same con-
sderation for the people of Brooklyn and the employees of his B. R. T.
as his son does for old Fire Department horses there would not he the
same bitter public feeling against him and his corporation. Is it that a B.
r. T. motorman or conductor or the ordinary Brooklynhe is not worthy
of the same consideration as a Fire Department horse, or that Nicholas,
the son, has instincts of tendenessan and sympathy which were not inner
tied from Anthony, the father?

forcing the Penal Code without apologies or afer-dimer speeches. He
has secured many convictions of all kinds of criminals, and as yet he has
omitted to make public any whole or partial list of criminals whom the
Penal Code does not provide some way of Furnishing.
Philadelphia has a Mayor who discharged his boss and is now collect
ing evidence which proves that the boss of Philadelphia is in partnership
with the Official Contracting Firm, and that the city has been defrauded
in this firms contracts. The city officials who helped the Official Con-
tracing Firm rob the city have been discharged.
New York has a DstrctAtorney who under the law has as much
power as the Distrht-Atorney of Kings County, and New York also has a
Mayor who in legal power and personal ability is fully equal to Mayor
Weaver. 1t is to he regretted t&t the parallel cannot be continued farther.

A PICKPOCKET'S MISTAKE.

= Whoever took former Judge G~odfoges watch must have done it
in ignorance of the name and position of The owner. Pckpockes are not
allowed to appropriate the personal property of Aldermen, A~ssemblymen
and higher officials. Where such a thing has been done the restoration
of the stolen property and prompt apology are always expected. If people
of political power and prominence were more often the victims the police
system would speedily be reformed.
1t is we'll understood in the criminal circles versed in police etiquette
that flat robberes must be confined to ordinary people who have no
"pull, that clubmen must be unmoested, as they have powerful political
acquaintance, and that mel of power are not only entitled to keep all
their own property, but to exploit the property of the multitude.
The Fagn schools which teach the boys of the east side to pick
pockets should make collections of the photographs of all prominent poll
tcans and have the pupils learn their features, or the police may take il
into their head to interfere with this scholastic industry.

Return of Professor Carlyle.

w. L. Carlyle. dean of agriculture at
the Colorado Agricultural College, has
returned from California. where he
considered an offer of $4,000 year TO
manage the Spreckels estate and live
stock interests. At the chapel service
Professor Carlyle announced his deter
mination to refuse the tempting offer
and remain with the college.
In his present position Professor
Carlyle gets only $4,000 per year and
his refusal of the California offer is
due to his intense interest in his pres
ent work and to his great faith in the
future of Colorado live stock and Col
orado agriculture. The three months

tic sciences established by Professor
Carlyle and now having its first test
bids fair to become popular. The reg
istration began on the 9th inst. and a
large number are enrolled for the new
work. This course opens to the farm
ers OF Colorado the chance of obtain
ing during the winter months the fun
damental principles of scientific agri-
culture and in addition the opportunf-
ties of coming in contact with college
men and college influences.

Permits for Grazing.

A Washington dispatch states that
officers of the forestry bureau have
determined not to recede from the reg
ulations they have adopted requiring
payment of grazing fees from stock
men pasturing live stock on forest re-
serves. In this they have the approval
OF the secretary of agriculture and of
President Roosevelt, and with this ap-
proval supporting them they will insist
upon payment of grazing fees.
1t is stated by forestry officers that
protests against payment of grazing
fees have come from but two portions
of the West affected by the order.
These are the western slope of Colo
RADIO and the Green River district of
Wyoming. All other localities have ap-
proved the proposition to pay grazing
fees.
The Forestry Bureau has announced
that in order to protect and assist
home builders, a SPECIAL concession
will be made in the grazing fee on cat
tie for the season of 1906 as follows:
Permits of each state or territory for
the year 1905 will be listed in order OF
the number of cattle covered. Then,
beginning with the smallest, one-half
of the permits will be counted off and
lle uuluDel VI Chttic SuoWh ny tht
largest of these permits will be taken
as the basis for this concession.
Applicants for grazing permits will
be charged only half rate on cattle up
to the number thus established for
their state or territory, but all cattle
over this number will be charged for
at the full rate. Under this concession
small owners of cattle will be called
upon to pay but half rates for the com
Ing season. The size of herds entitled
to half rate will vary in different
states, but will average about seventy
five, so that owners of this or a smaller
number of cattle will be called upon
for half rates only. The grazing fees to
be charged will depend somewhat upon
tho nearness of the reserves to trans
portation facilities and will average 20
to 25 cents per head for cattle for the
summer season and 35 to 40 cents for
tn, entire year.
Sheep rates for the summer season
in Utah. Wyoming, Colorado and Mon
tana will be 5 cents per head. Oregon
and Washington rates have not been
established, but will be the maximum
rates, probably 10 cents per head for
sheep for the grazing season.

THE FARM AND RANGE
Forest neserve Conference.

The following letter has been sent
by Clifford Pinchott, forester for the De-
partment of Agriculture, to F.. G. Ha-
genbarth, president Of the National
Live Stock Associations, to Hon. F.. E.
Warren, president of the National
Wool Growers Association, and Murdo
Mackenzie, president of the National
Stock Growers Association:
THE President has repeatedly de-
clared that the forest reserves are for
use- The forest service, accordingly,
is engaged in an attempt to make them
as useful as possible to the people. For
this purpose 1t is endeavoring to bring
about full and hearty cooperation from
all users of reserves for the mutual
benefit of the reserves and Of the users.
Now that the fee for grazing in for
est reserves has been established by
the secretary OF agriculture. with the
full approval of the President himself
(himself stockman) and has been ac-
cepted as Just and wise by great ma
jority of those who use the reserves
for grazing throughout the West. and
is already being paid. the interest OF
stockmen should be given the fullest
consideration.
Il. have the honor, thefore, to invite
you to appoint a committee of three
members of your association to confer
with members OF the forest reserve at
Denver January 23d at Q a. M, immedi-
ately before the meeting of the Ma
tional Live Stock Association, Ameri-
can Stock Growers Association and
National Wool Growers Association. A
similar invitation is being addressed
to the presidents OF the other two asso-
Citations in the hope that representa-
tives of the joint committee may be
found to discuss the whole relations of
stockmen and forest reserves and es-
pecially a means of giving owners OF
stock the fullest practical equivalent in
return for the grazing fee, without in
justice to other users of forest re-
serves"
Senator Warren will take advantage
of opportunity thus offered for a con-
ference on the proposed grazing ques-
ton and will select a representative of
the National Wool Growers Associa-
tion to attend the proposed meeting.

PosToFFIcE DEPARTMENT.
Shows Deficit Due to Amount of Free
Matter Handled.

Washington. Postmaster General
Cortelyou. in his annual report for the
past fiscal year, says that while self
sustaining condition of the Postoffice
Department would be gratifying, he is
less concerned about the deficit than
the efficiency of administration.
For the fiscal year 1905 the total re.
ceipts from all sources were $152.S26,-
5S5, and the total expenditures $751;
1S1,959, leaving a deficit of S14,572, ,5S4.
In connection with these figures, the
postmaster general directs attention to
the increased amount of free matter
handled, which, he says, averaged
1888 per cent. of the entire weight car
ried, Or loss in revenue of S19,S22,-
900.
"Manifestly." he says, "had the mat
ter now carried free been required to
have been prepaid, notwithstanding the
large expenditures for the rural free
delivery service, there would have
been no deficit
During the war twelve clerks were
killed while on duty and 125 seriously
injured. E.ery effort, he says, has
been made to surround the clerks with
every possible safeguard. The ardu-
GUS and hazardous duties incident to
the service, he declares, called for
some legislative action that will make
provision for clerks worn out in the
service and maintain its efficiency by
the gradual elimination of superanu-
ated clerks.
The postmaster general says an eff
fective domestic parcels post system.
it is believed, could be organized on
the same lines substantially as express
companies conduct their services and
as parcels post service is conducted in
other countries.
While he does not deem 1t wise at
this time to ask Congress for such
system, he earnestly recommends that
third and fourth class mail matter be
merged at the rate of / cent for two
ounces. In this way, he says, all mer-
chandise parcels not exceeding four
pounds in weight would continue to be
carried at one-half the rate now
charged and afford great opportunity
for distributing light packages to a
multitude of places not reached by ex-
press companies
He wants Congress to review the
whole matter of second class rates, by
which matter is carried at / cent a
pound that costs cents for transpor-
tation.
At the end of the fiscal year, June 80,
there were in operation 60,131 postof-
fees. The number of employees in the
service at large is stated at 100000,
o. whom 1.169 are in the department at
Washington.
