popularity have never remained long in

o'clock each day during the general
debate on this bill
Mr.. Knapp On. W opened the dis

Mr.. Sibley (Pa.) made a speech
against the bill. He said it was sup

in the country. 1t was not pleasing
to take position against it, he said,
but to be true to his convictions he
had to oppose it..
Mr.. Shackleford (Mo.), who support

said he would support the pending
measure. He said the Democratic
party had suffered three defeats as a
result of contributions by the McCalls,

Pinchot's Latest Trick.

A Washington dispatch pub
lished in this mornings News
Tribune contains the information
that Congressman Tawney, rep
resenting the First Minnesota
district in the southern part of
the state, remote from the ter
ritory to be affected, introduced
"a bill in the house yesterday,
prepared and presented to him
by the forestry bureau, and pro.
posing to set apart for forestry
purposes large areas of fertile
land in this section of the state.
Senator Nelson had declined to
introduce the measure into the
senate. The bureau overlooked
Congressman Buchanan, who
serves on the committee on
Indian affairs, and Congressman
Volstead, who serves on the
mittee on public lands, when
it sought a sponsor for the bill,
and turned it's attention to a man
who is not in touch with such
matters and who is not in SYM
pathy with the affairs and de.
velopment Of northern Mime
sofa.
Chief Pinchot has made what
he may suppose to be a cunning
move in his effort to distract the
attention of congress from the
real issue and prevent action in
tended to correct the evils of the
Morris law. It goes without
saying that the northern mem
bers Of the Minnesota delegation
in the house will make some in
teresting comments on this latest
move in the forestry bureaus
campaign of trickery and dis
honest dealing.
1t behooves the friends of
northern Minnesota to be watch

modification the draft of the taxation
project. The Moorish delegates raised
a number of objections and will refer
the proposals to the sultan at Fee.

The American delegates took an
active part in the discussion before
the conference by raising, a point
against any indirect infringement of
the, sultan's sovereignty. This was
the first appearance of the Americans
in the formal debates and the point
raised by them brought on the most
earnest and interesting discussion the
conference has thus far had.
