The Short Line railroad has just
issued two attractive pieces OF adj
vertising matter, one entitled The
Man With the Hoe in Idaho, and
the other, "Where Gush the Gey-
sers. The former is largely an
exploitation of this states agricul-
tural advantages, backed up by
many letters from farmers telling
of their individual success here
though it's other resources are not
entirely neglected. The latter is as
artistically exquisite an exhibition
of printing as ever pleased the eye
of a conniseur, and treats, of
course, of the Yellowstone Park.
General Passenger Agent Burley
is the man behind the enterprise.

That is rather clever scheme of
the Statesman, the suggestion that,
in order to bring the two factions of
the republican party of Idaho to-
gether, the Pocatello convention re-
nominate Governor Gooding and
endorse Mr.. Borah for the United
States senate 1t would probably
accomplish that end, would surely
eliminate from the minds of Mr..
Borah's friends the suspicion that
Governor Gooding favors Brady for
the senate THAT is if the legislature
should confirm the convention S
endorsement, by electing Mr.. Borah.

A part of Private Secretary Loeb's
job at present is TO deny that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be a candidate
for re-election-and also to work
the press end of the game to force
his denomination. 1t will, of
course, be no trick at all for the
president to repudiate Loeb's au-
thority to state what his intentions
are.

Some one at Pocatello writes the
Portland Oregonian that Brady,
seeing the handwriting on the
wall, that the republicans of Idaho
favor the plan of endorsing some one
for United States senator at the
state convention, will probably
change his tactics and, instead OF
trying to prevent the convention
from taking action on that matter,
enter the race and endeavor to Sc
cure the endorsement for himself.
This would please Mr.. Borah S
friends more than anything Mr..
Brady could possibly do, for it
would release Borah from his ILL
advised proclamation that unless the
convention endorses him, he will
not ask the legislature to elect
him to the senate. That action OF
his has handicapped them in their
work for him and they are anxious
to be relieved from the burden.
Since the above was written Mr..
Brady has come out with the usual
denial.

r. B. Armstrong, formerly an
assistant secretary of the treasury,
at a recent meeting of the New
York Bankers association, took
occasion to defend the Chicago
packers cor rather TO condemn those
who are exposing their dirty prac-

the packers. The different elements
of the system are merely standing
together--it is the cohesive power

NICK LONGWORTFS FATHER.
Was One Of the First Men of Ohio
Interesting Incidents of Lie.

Congressman Nick Longworth, the
Presidents son-in-law, Is a Millionaire
of Cincinnati. His family is one Of
the Oldest and most aristocratic OF that
city. His father, Judge Longworth, was
preme bench of the State, and withal.
one of the youngest He resigned this
position as ne did not care to take life
TOO seriously after passing fifty. When
he died he was colonel on Gov. McKin-
ley's staff, death resulting from ex-
posture on an inauguration day.
Judge Longworth was a man not only
beloved, but brilliant. His courtship
of his wife, mother of the present Con-
gresham, began when both were but
six years old. She was then little Sue
Walker. Some years before the judge
died, he built small steamboat for
plea-lre trips on the Ohio river. lie
called it the CO.. 1t was an odd
name, and people wondered what il
meant. Some said 1t STOOD for Cincin-
natl, Ohio, others said it meant Come
off," but the Judge would not make pub

| ing. Years later, he told this STORY:
AS a boy, he had fallen in love with
Sue Walker, and confided his affection
to his mother, who wished 10 encour-
age him in writing, and advised him
to express his love in letter. He
did SO but did not know how to spell
Sue. He ponde-ed while, then rea'
soned that II d-o-spelled "do," CO
ought to spell Sue. That was the way
he addressed his first love letter, and
when he was man grown, dear c. o.

ply from forest destruction is equally
as great. Large areas in the Southern
Appalachian and White Mountain
Ranges should be created into forest
reserves.
For Eastern Forest Reserves.
In speech at Raleigh, N. c., on
October goth, last, President Roosevelt,
said: at is the upper attitudes of the
forested mountains that are most valu-
able to che nation as whole, especially
because of their effects upon the water
supply. Neither state or nation can af-
ford to turn these mountains over to
the unrestrained greed of those who
would exploit them at the expense OF
the future. We cannot afford to wait
longer before assuming control in the
interests of the public, of these forests;
for if we do wait, the vested interests
of private parties in them may be-
come so strongly inTenched that it
may be most expensive task to Gust
them. II the eastern states are wise,
then from the Bay OF Fundy to- the
Gulf we will see, within the next few
years a policy set on foot similar to
that so fortunately carried out in the
high Sierras of the west by the Ma
tional government. AL the higher APP
palachians should be reserved. Such
reserves would be a paying investment
not only in protection to many inter
ests, but in dollars and cents to the
government. The Importance to the
southern people Of protecting the south
ern mountain forests is obvious. These
forests are the best defense against the
floods which, in the recent past, have
during a single twelve months, destroy
ed property officially valued at nearly
twice that 1t would cost to buy the

became his wife and the mother of his
son, the present congressman. The
mother still keeps and prizes her first
declaration of love.
Judge Longworth was once travel
ing IL Italy. He was in forward car
with friend; and when his wife sent
word for him to come back to her, the
judge remarked. 1--WE had best take all
our things as the dago marquis here
might swipe them" This remark was
made concerning swarthy looking
man in the opposite seat. The judge
was only joking, thinking too, that the
stranger did not understand English.
When the train stopped, the Marquis
handed the judge a card. He was
a sure enough marquis and he knew
English. The card meant duel, but
Longworth was equal to the occasion,
for he responded, "Why hello Marquis,
glad to meet YOU" The offended noble.

The Importance of the Appalachian
forest cover to the cotton milling in
dustry alone, in the Piedmont regions
of North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia Is shown by the statistics of
the mills operated by the water power
derived from the streams having their
sources in these mountains. In these
three states there are 1853 mills so
operated, with combined capital stock
Of $33,00O,000, with 2,770,00O spindles
and 50,926 looms and giving work to
over $4,000 employees. The total an
nual production of these mills is ap-
proximately $64,000,000.
Virginia has interests also, which
are not included in the above figures,
as have also Tennessee and Kentucky,
on the western side of the mountains.
A National forest reserve in the
White Mountains of New Hampshire is
also a matter of general concern and
vital to the well being Of the industries
Of all New England. We are upon the
threshold of great Industrial COMPETE
ton with the producing powers of the
world; to maintain our supremacy we
must retain our hold upon our cheap
water power, which, through electrical
invention is being utilized as never be-
fore and greatly aiding to our national
prosperity.
The creation Of the Appalachian and
| White Mountain Forest Reserves can
not be left to the states; the question
is an Interstate and therefore a ma
tional one. Nearly all the rivers of
New England head in the White Noun
tains of New Hampshire and it Is OF
supreme Importance to the industries
Of all the New England States, repre-
senting tens of millions of dollars, that
the forest cover at the river sources
shall be preserved and improved.
National delay in the acquisition OF
these Preserves" would be dangerous
and wasteful. Timber land which g
few years ago could have been pur
chased at $3.50 to SO an acre has now
trebled and quadrupled in value Ad
ditional delay will mean further in
crease in cost. Congress should &C
at once and preserve from destruction
one of the greatest resources 'of thu
nation.

Seven of these little fellows were
