been dropped as Robinson had not
visited me or said anything further
regarding the case. "

HEPBURN GRILLS
FOREST POLICY
Says Present Administration of
Land Laws Is Vicious

Washington, Feb. 5.-In his Speech
yesterday in the senate in criticism of
administration of the public land
laws, Senator Hepburn said there was
no necessity for and no likelihood
that congress would loan the forestry
brueau IS, 900, 900 as asked by the
president. He said the last report Of
the bureau showed 1918, 900 to the
credit of this bureau, land yet the
proposition is to pawn the forests of
the government to the government for
IS, 600, 600. These gentlemen seem
to treat these forests as their own
private enterprise. -
Senator Hepburn said the govern
ment had gone into his home county
in Idaho and taken 80 percent of the
county as forest reserve. The Goun
ty had previously made public i'm
provements, but these all had been
lost to the county and acquired by
the government. Senator Depew
asked il the senator's contention
would destroy the whole system of
forest reserves.

SYSTEM is VICIOUS.

''The system of forest reserves as
now operated responded Senator
Hepburn, ''is so vicious that any
thing that would destroy it would be
welcomed"
Mr.. Depew asked if it was not true
that combination of eastern capital
had gone into the west and grabbed
up large timber holdings.
'"The largest land grabber is one of
the vice presidents of the national
forest reserve association of the
United States" answered Senator
Hepburn. "He owns more land the
title to which was illegally obtained
than any other man or all other men
in,the United States, and he is one
of the vice presidents of the forestry
association, the president of which is
our worthy secretary of agriculture.

Forty-five Years on One Job.

Robert G. Lucas, seventy-one years old resigned his place in the office of the American Express company here last night, ending forty-fve years term Of service for the company, in which time he never has missed a day 's pay.
 For seventy years MT. Lucas had no need of the attention of a physician. Less than year ago he felt a decline in health and began treatment. His throat has become affected by smoking. He gives the following advice to those who would emulate his example:
 "Good health is as great requisite of good worker as good brains. Young man, don t smoke to excess. If had dropped smoking when I could my bank account would be $o,OOO larger today.
 'Pass up the drinks. A man should have eight hours sleep out of every twenty-four. That doesn' t mean four one night and twelve the next.
 "Consult you wife and follow her ad. vice. If she tells you to wrap up your throat in red flannel rag soaked in kerosene, do it. .'-Chicago Dispatch to the New York Herald.

CONGRESS AND THE CURRENCY

It is now certain that congress will make no attempt at crushing" eur reney legislation. The respective com mittees of the two houses will take time to consider the various pending proposals and evolve measure that, il is to be hoped, will merit general ap- proval. The correspondents have sui. fciently sounded congressional senti- ment to feel safe in predicting that nothing "radieal" will be done What is important, however, is that the thing that is finally done shall embody the lessons of the recent crisis and be suf- ieient to prevent similar disastrous ex- periences in the future.
 Neither the president nor Secretary Cortelyou has submitted a specific scheme to congress. Both deemed it more important to state the problem correctly, to emphasize the defect in our currency system that can no longer be tolerated or ignored, than to advo- cate concrete remedy.
 The president recommended provision for an emergency currency" based on adequate securities and subject to a tax heavy enough to insure it's retire ment upon the return of fairly normal business and financial conditions. What the tax should be to prevent imitation, and what classes of securities other than government bonds would be safe and proper as basis for the emergency issues, the president leaves to cor gress to determine.
 Secretary Cortelyou, deeming it prob able that congress will not at once over haul and modernize the entire currency system in accordance with the advo- cates of either the regular asset eur rency plan or the central bank scheme, suggests, as an alternative, some meas ure that would impart Ca greater elas- ticity to the currency" under govern ment guaranty-'so something which should be automatic in its operation. "
 Mir. Cortelyou intimates, however, that the desire to avoid radicalsm and | complexity will not excuse needless de- lay. Promptness of action, he well says, is as' desirable as simplicity of plan. The people expect immediate and earn est consideration of the currency prob lem and some provision for certain, definite relief under safeguards of law.

SWEARING MADE EASY.

When cayuse gets to bucking, Where the rocks are thick and hard It makes a cowboy sigh again
 To be in mother s yard; To be again a little boy
 Way back upon the farm, Reading wild west stories
 And safe at home from harm. When a cayllse gets to bucking,
 Out on a western range, Ther Fl be cowboy wishing
 That he had his daddie's change, That he might seek railway
 To strike put all alone And seek again the comforts
 He used tj have at home. When cayrse gets to bocking, As those nlangy critters can, It will make cowboy whisper That awful swear word, "Damn. It will make him hunt for liquor And forget his Sunday school, Where the mech, the wise and lowly Taught each the golden rule. When a cayus', gets to bucking, But why prtlong the pain He jumps you up, and jumps you down, And bumps you hard again, Till your light and liver tangle With the cuss words from your tongue Till you catch yourself wishing You had died when you were young.
