That is the position in which Charles

everyone of it's many branches. Many

for his consideration In making the

attention was directed to q progress.
sive young man whose knowledge OF
the printing business covered the en-
tire field and who had had practical
experience in Boston, Philadelphia and
Washington-one Charles A. Stillings.
And 30, after q thorough examination
into Mr.. Stillings' commercial career,
the President, finding that Mr.. Still
lings' ability was just what he had
been looking for, appointed him as the
executive head Of the Government
Printing Once. The Senate promptly
confirmed the Presidents appointment
and SO Mr. Stillings has become the
active head of the establishment.
A brief idea Of the volume Of bust
ness conducted by the Government
Printing Once may be obtained from
the following figures. Last year they
paid in wages to it's various employees
the sum of $4,616,7S1.W and nearly
three millions more were spent for
various supplies, including paper, new
machinery and maintenance Of the
plant. Every dollar Of this great sum
10 expended under the check Of the
Public Printer and 1t is evident that
much wisdom Is needed In handling
money where so large an amount is In
volved.
Mr.. Sti1lings is especially fitted by
training, inclination, and ability for
the position. He forms an attractive
addition to the ranks Of the young men
with whom President Roosevelt has

that would make him feel the full
weight Of an outraged national public
sentiment. (Applause.) They are not
liable to punishment criminally, but
they are morally responsible for every
fraud committed under the timber and
stone act since they shelved the bill to
repeal 1t passed by the senate in the
last session of congress-
But 1t is not enough merely to re-
peal the timber and stone act Every
acre Of public forest lands or brush
or woodlands which conserves a water
supply should be at once embraced in
permanent forest reserves, the title to
be always retained by the national
government and the stumpage Of ma
tured timber only to be sold.

An Lnpr0Yised Excuse.

Tommy was absent from school for
one entire day. But he brought note
of excuse the next morning, which
would prove that he had been detained
at home legitimately. The writing was
hardly that of feminine hand, and the
note appeared to have been written la
boriously. Furthermore, the penman-
ship seemed to be strangely familiar to
his teacher The note read as follows
"Dear Teacher: Please excuse Tom
my for not coming to stool yistidy, he
couldn't come. I tore my pants. Yours
truly, Mrs. Mullgan."

Revolutionary Russia.

Like the Stuarts of Great Britain
and the Bourbons of France, thu
reigning dynasty of Russia goes from
blunder to blunder. Such q revolution
as Is In progress throughout Euro
pean Russia cannot be suppressed b
the sword. The thing to have done
was to make concessions to the spirit
Of liberty when the agitation began.
Grants that would j have been
hailed as liberal year ago would be
rejected with scorn to-day as wholly
insufficient.
The revolution is strikingly like that
Of France, and there will be no stop.
ping it.. The proletariat has fought
and tasted blood. Suppose they sup.
press the revolt In Moscow? It will
break out at some other point-in Pc.
land, or Lithuania, or Finland, or
elsewhere between the Baltic and the
Black seas. The army will be kept on
the jump, and its loyalty put to the su.
premest test. Then, when order has
been shot into the nation, and reigns
everywhere as 1t once did at Warsaw,
the revolution will break out afresh in
Moscow or somewhere else, and it will
all have to be done over, again.
Before the thing is finished, Russia
will be republic; not free republic,
but revolutionary republic guided by
q Cromwell or Napoleon. And IL such
should be her destiny, she will be a
mighty ugly customer In a quarrel with
a neighbor, Just as England was in the
middle Of the seventeenth century, tust
as France was at the close of the eight
zenith century.
For q full 100 years republicanism
has been driving autocracy to the wall
in Europe. France is pretty good re-.
public and getting better every day.
The Kaiser Of the great German Em.
pire has In the Reichstag q partner in
the government, ofttimeS very med
dlesome and a very obstinate partner
at that The Corte7 holds the purse Of
Spain, and Italy is q constitutional
monarchy. AustriarHungary has leg
islature, and the Scandinavian PEG.
pies have enjoyed liberty for ages.
Russia is rousing from the slumber Of
centuries and she cannot be nut to
sleep again. There will be battle and
blood and terror, but it win end In q
republic-at least, in a legislature
and then Russia will begin the new
lesson Of learning what liberty is and
what to do with it.

Don't Ask Again.

An amusing incident is related Of
Nat Goodwin. the actor. Not long ago
Goodwin was standing on the corner
Of Broadway and Thirty-fourth street.
New York City, where three car lines
converge, when seedy-looking tndi-
vidual apparently from the country,
approached him questioningly.
II want to go to the Brooklyn
Bridge" he said, looking In perplexity
at the cars rushing in six different d.
rections.

growth ana everything for $3.50 an
acre. Taking the value Of that timber
at what the stumpage actually sold for
Minnesota, S15.O6 an acre, the govern
ment has lost S40,000,000 by that pro-
ceeding. But the stumpage on the g.
100000 acres located during the last
two years was much more valuable

We are told that there is going to be

the United States of $22,000,0O0. II

at least twice over and still have had

$2,0OO,000 a month or about $4,000 a

whether IL might not be possible some
Gay or other to awaken the people of
the Mississippi valley to q realization
Of the fact that forestry is a problem
extending from New Orleans to the con-
ttnental divide of the Rocky mountains
on the west. to Canada on the north
and to the crest Of the Alleghanies on
the east, where the Ohio river has its
source; and that failure and dsstruc-

pected in the years to come to control
that great feod by increasing the

cannot build them higher and the

And with desire were sudden stirred
