Secretary Elihu Root.

Mr.. Root has demonstrated the
highest administrative ability. He is
,masterful in every direction. His con.
structive work in the War Depart.
ment was of the first order. and ranks
him with Stanton among the greatest
'of the War Secretaries. For the en-.
tirely different field of the State De.
partment he is equally fitted. Dur.
ing 1900, in the midst of the Chinese
complications. and in the absence OF
Mr.. Hay, he was acting Secretary and
handled the delicate questions Of
that imbroglio with admirable skill.
He has insight, Judgment, unfail
ing sense. and the versatility and apt
ness which make the rounded man Of
affairs. Above all he has the intellec
tual sobriety, grasp and force which
fit him for the higher realm Of states
manship. The country will have full
confidence in his management of for
eign affairs. His broad counsel in al
the large questions Of the government
will be invaluable, and his return t.
the right hand of the President will
give increased strength to the admin
istration.--Philad, lphia Press.

Powers was deprived of his constitu.

ed that all the juries which heard his
case consisted of Democrats. Powers
is charged with having been in the

THE row is all over the system of
taxation which has gone into effect Of
late and IT bids fair to .inperll the SUI

the State. For instance, we used to
have a poll tax 1t was the supposed

SHEEP RAISERS HAVE
CAUSE FOR ELATION

Sheep men about Havre are feeling
particular good these days. The feed
question confronting them Is a bit
serious from financial point of view,
but is more than overcome by such
statements as these from the Boston
Commercial Bulletin, the recognized
organ of the wool trade:
During the past week a moderate
business has been done, with the bulk
of activity conferred in territory woods.
All grades of these woods have moved
steadily, mostly in smaller lots than
heretofore, but some sizeable transac-
tions are reported. Dealers encounter
no trouble in making sales and their
stocks are in such diminished state
that even if concessions were insisted
upon, they could complaeenUly lay
back and await the coming around of
manufacturers to their view.
''The woods from Montana have felt
the ceaseless demand to such an ex-
tent that supplies are extremely small,
although some may be obtained for
while yet, but the choicest lots have
been eliminated from possible pur-
chase. One Of the largest dealers in
territory weols says: IT have not a
pound of Montana left, and, as a
matter Of fact, [ have been cleaned
out for some little time.'

In the solitude

Came the red man commissioned to slay
Ard the echoes sang

And the yelp of his wounded prey,
Until silence falls
On his WigWam'S walls
And fate beckOns his tribe away.
Then the forest sighed
While the lone winds cried
For the man who would come to stay.
Then his brother pale
Came to blaze trail
And to drive Il surveyors stake;
The explorers tent
Brief encha tment lent
To the shores of the lonely lake,
And the "lumberjack"
With AK and pack
Came to gather his winters hay.
Still the forest cried
And the sad winds sighed
For the man who would come to stay.
Through the swamp and brake
With roar and shake
Came the iron horse hOOfed wi tn steel.
At the frontier gate e,

The worlds surplus of woe and veal.

Where the wilderness fades away.
And an eagles scream
