her forest reserves by the adoption of
a law which compels the planting of
tree in the place of every one that is
cut down. In view of the well nigh
wholesale and ruthless destruction of
the magnificent forest reserves in this
country plan similar to that followed
in France might well be adopted.

One of the life insurance magnates
has been arrested for giving a large
sum of money that should have been
sacred to the widows and orphans of
the policy holders to the Republican
national committee. President Roose-
welt declared before election that NJ
tainted money as being used in his
campaign. but the evidence shows be
was greatly mistaken. for the insurance
trust and other corporations came
down handsomely. The strange part
Of it is that the administration organs
before the last national election declar-
ed that the president was managing
the campaign on 4 business basis and
receiving daily reports Of the finances
of the Republican committee from
Chairman Cortelyou. Was the presi-
dent deceived or did he then think in
surance money was not tainted? No
restitution has yet been made, though
1t would seem that the ethics of the
situation demand that the money be re-
turned to its rightful owner

A REPUBLICAN SCANDAL.
Disgraceful Condition of the Con-
Nulnr Service.

HuluF SERVICE
The exposure of the scandal of the
shameful doings of our consuls in the
east is further proof Of the ~degcneracy
Of Republican politicians. When Presi-
dent Roosevelt appointed these consuls
on the recommendation of Republican
senator's and representatives, he knew
they were political strikers for those
Republican leaders. He was on notice
that they We're mostly graftcrs or the
Republican politicians would not be
urging them for appointment. The
only palliation for the administration
Is that Mr.. PIERCE, assistant secretary
of state, was detailed to make Il special
investigation OF the consular service in
the east, and his private report made
to the president and lately called for
by the senate exposes the scandals.
Some Of these consuls are stated to be
drunkards, others grafters-men who
accepted office merely to fill their own
pockets legally or illegally.
The president has, no doubt, endeav-
ored to cleanse and improve the service
by forcing the resignation Of some Of
IuC SldlbClS " liz SOOu vi lllC SHY
ice" but many worthless incumbents
still remain. while there has been
much progress" says the New York
Post, there are many consuls who do
not reflect credit on the country.
There was the one at Coburg. for in
stance, who turned the consulate into
a disreputable resort and made every
IIovnnrfnr cnntri1J1ta q tco t,,,1o, for ,,co
in furnishing the consulate or to be
disposed Of for the benefit Of the con-
Buls pocket. Careful investigation
would have shown the mans unfitness
for Office before his appointment. The
state department removed him for the
good of the service but Mr.. Roose.
Welt, in the eyes of the Coburgers, add
ed insult to injury by appointing as his
success that Saylor who obtained I'm
enviable notoriety by trying to defrau(

in it's legislature and who was official

which J. w. Cathcart withdrew as At
torney General. came up before Judge
DE Bolt this morning. but we're con
tinued until Monday at the request OF

did not wish to take advantage of the
fact that the defendants were without
counsel. and wanted to have them have
chance to secure such. The same ac-
tion was taken In the case OF Shimatsu,
a japanese charged with assault with
u weapon. Judge Dc Bolt assigned ID

II seems that Providence objected to
the trial of the Johnson murder case
ON Good Friday. At least the progress
Of the case was most effectively stopped
by the sudden illness Of L. Oscar white

Wood, stating that White had been
taken i'll with the grippe last night
and would not he able TO attend court
at present. From other sources II was
learned that White had been quite iii,

Tho si.l00,OO0 of net revenues al

come largely without the knowledge

II Is both unsound as national pol
icy and also unworthy OF the dignity
of great nation that an insular terri.
tory which voluntarily gave its own
sovereignty to us should be compelled
TO send revenues needed to develop its
separate and detached life merely to
form a driblet in our national income.

term OF this fund from twenty years
TO five years, although there are
strong reasons why II should be made
permanent.
