Fisk, the Busy Man.

The Springfield Advance handles the
festive Fisk, he of many occupations
and always looking for easy money,
without gloves. Fisk made the state
ment to The Butterfield Advance That
because the Springfield paper refused to
publish his notices. it caused it the loss
|of seventy-fve subscribers. Editor Nah
Ter takes exceptions to this statement
and says: "The Advance is somewhat
surprised to learn through the medium
of other papers that Mr.. Fisk is making
the rounds with such a story, if it be
true that he dished up such report.
And considering the language used in
the notice sent this office (Which failed
Iof publication because the chirograpny
could not be distinguished from that pc
culiar to the signs of an orientaD it
was decidedly unfit for publication. As
to losing subscribers, Mr. Fisk told a
deliberate fabrication, if he made the
statement for which he is given credit
by the above paper.
"In the future as in the past, farm
ers will be extended every courtesy by
The Advance, but if Mr.. Fisk expects
any favors from this office he will pay
the regular admission fee, and then it
will be necessary for him to use such
language in his notices that will be fit
for publication. If the organizer has at
tempted any dirty work in the past The
Advance has not felt its effects, and it
believes also that no fair minded man
would listen to such idiotic hogwash"
That ought to. hold Fisk for few
moments, anyway.
The Free Press has learned that in
connection with his work of organizing
so-called farmers unions, Fisk is So

1t is said that all who become members
of the branch organizations must also

The Winona Republican and Herald
thinks that one of the most extraordin-
airy things which have ever occurred in
American politics since the foundation
of the republic, is the persistency with
which the democratic organs all over
the country are urging President Roose-
welt to become hi, own successor in
l90S-not as a partisan candidate but
of all the people.
This endorsement of a republican
president by the opposition party, in
fact, by all prties, is something pheno-
menal in American. political history,
and is the greatest compliment ever
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1905-06-23

paid a president of the United States.
1t is also said that if the European
nations had an opportunity to declare
their ehice it would be the present head
of the nation, who, as Rev. Frank w.
Cunsaulus recently said the American
people are coming to understand. Ac-
cording to the brilliant Chicago divine
President Roosevelt is as much of a
surprise as was either Savonarola or
Gladstone. He fits into some of the
Things of the nation today with just as
little ease as Savonarola did in Italy
He is young man who doesn't care a
rap for precedents, but intends. to give
a square deal to all. When a nation
is following leader like that all you've
got to do is to go as you have been
going.
But while the world is coming to I'M
derstand the American president as a
breaker of all traditions, POLITICAL yand
socialagically, right here at home he has
broken all party lines and is as much
the idol of the democrats as of the re-
publcans, and also all sectional lines.
The Augusta (Ga.) Herald, radical
democratic newspaper, suggests that in
fuences over which ne has no control
may necessitate his becoming candi-
date for the presidency in 1908 whether
he so desires or not:
IF Theodore Roosevelt persists in his
present course; if he continues to wage
war against official corruption; if he
continues to fight corporate greed; if
he. persists in being the president of
the people, it is highly probable that
he may not be a. candidate of any party
for the presidency of the United States
-four years hence, but how about the
people? They may insist that Theodore
Roosevelt be their candidatel for the
presidency and in such an event Theo-
dTe Roosevelt could not decline. just
at present Theodore Roosevelts is Meth
er a republican nor democratic presi-
dent, measured by party standards. He
| is, however, progressing along lines that
will win for him the admiration and
commentator of the people, which, il
organized behind a man of Roosevelt's
individuality, brains and courage, would
be irresistible in American politics..
The New York World, the leading
democratic paper in the United States
is determined that Roosevelt should be
elected president for another term. In
a recent issue that paper says:
':President Roosevelt spent brief
twelve. hours in Chicago, but during
that time he was twice renominated fol-
president of the United States by en-
thusiastic democrats. il'i
eff Mr.. Roosevelt is determined tc
evade another term in the White House
ne cannot afford to do much loafing in
Chicago. Even if he lodged a republican
nomination the Democrats would .bt
sure to get him." i.s3t a 81
| President Roosevelt has taken himself
out of the list of candidates for'sl90S
but if his wonderful popularity con
tinues during Intervening years will be
be able to resist an overwhelming de-
mand for mis- reelection by the people
of all parties? No such thing has eyel
happened before in American politics

Work Of Creating Forests.

The subject of forestry is an inter-
esting one, yet there are thousands of
people in this country VINO do not give
it the attention which its Importance
demands. the bureau of forestry at
Washington has endeavored to create a
sentiment in favor of preserving the
forests by the issuance of bulletins
designed for educational purposes. The
value of our forests is something that
cannot be estimated in dollars. They
are valuable from various standpoints.
Once the land is stripped of its timber,
the work of replanting trees must be
begun. In many sections of the coun-
try the people have taken hold of this
important labor with a zeal that is
commendable. Thansplanting of trees
has been accomplished, and in this
work the bureau of forestry is lending
a helping hand. California and other
western states have proved the efficacy
of irrigation in promoting agriculture,
but there are millions of acres of fer
tile land unused through lack of suffi-
cient water Much of this land will
be reclaimed by the gigantic irrigation
works planned by the national gov
eminent, but the scope of this work is
limited by the amount of water avail
able. The influence of forests in con-
serving limited rainfall is recognized
but they are often wanting where most
needed. Thus forest planting is often
necessary.
An example of what the bureau of
forestry is doing in this direction is fur
nished by the nursery which it is es-
tablishing fifteen miles from Santa Bar
bara, in southern California. This is the
fourth forest nursery which the bureau
has established within western forest
reserves. Nowhere in California is water
needed more than in the coast plain east
and southeast of Santa Barbara. To
cover large areas with new tree growth,
however, in regions where the forest
can not naturally restore itself, is a
difficult matter. Unless great care is
used in the selection of species and in
the cultural methods employed, the
work is likely to prove failure. Meth
DDS which would succeed on a small
plantation are impracticable on a large
scale on account of the expense.
The nursery in the Santa Barbara re-
serve will be planted with seed of trees
likely to flourish in that region. Coulter
and yellow pine will be most largely
planted. The seedlings will be ready to
transplant to their permanent loca-
tions two years hence
The first attempt of reforesting will
be made on the upper watershed of the
Santa Ynez river, which supplies the
town of Santa Barbara with water
This town of only 10000 inhabitants is
spending 100000 to secure a good water
supply. A dam and reservoir for this
purpose are now under construction.
The Santa Ynez watershed is now bare
or poorly covered with chaparral A
good forest growth is necessary both to
conserve the water and to prevent the
washing down of silt, which if I'M
checked would eventually fill and ruin
the reservoir.
The success of the transplanting will
depend largely upon the season. In ex-
cessively dry years good results can
not be expected, and the bureau must
