Of the Republican National Committee
for the convention, the President
makes the following statement:
"On the night after election | made

pressing their confidence in what !

have not changed, and shall not
change the decision thus announced ~
This ought TO end it and yet the
Washington Herald and other leading
papers insist upon it that the situation
is unchanged, that the President is
still in the "hands Of his friends and
will not decline the honor il thrust
upon him. We do not agree with
these brother editors, for in the first
place we concede sincerity to Mr..
Roosevelt and we do not concede that
the nomination will be rendered him
by a unanimous vote.
And now little prophecy on our
part.

THE CIVIC FORUM

The National Civic Federation ha'

New York. and in some respects Is Il
body Of immense public interest, the
only weakness being found In the
fact that 10 has mo- power Of legislation.

they remain a. such So far as the Fed
Grafton is concerned 10 is non-paf-
tisau. but another Ina, called pan

are employed 10 investigate aud make
report, upon an subjects Of general in
tere-t. such as municipal ownership
of utilities. The currency, the labOrlng
man insurance, child labor, the re-
lation that should exist between
church and state. and other subjects
of Ike concern And many Of these
recommendations are redolent Of good
sense and genuine patriotisms, but, as
we have said before, the weakness
comes iu that the body can do do more
than report aud recommend. When
in session perfect harmony prevails,
and there is peace, but when the la
borer returns TO his o, erals, the CAPT
tali,t, TO hi, counting room, the poll
tician TO h., trade, and the preacher
to his charge, the clerk comes again
and the same old war Of factions is
renewed.

the sound Of battle and its unhesling

in the person Of +. IL. Hartman.
Strange to say nothing Of the mar
VellOus is associated with his bOyhO0d
days, but when he grew to be a man
he soon developed the strength OF a
giant and has been using it as such.
To accomplish financial results he has
treated friend and foe alike, merciless-
ly, cruelty, cOnsciencelessly. And
yet as wicked as has been his career
much Of the useful may be learned
from it.
We are told that "what he knows
he knows thoroughly and absolutely"
and that he is "too able a man not to
be patient" Another has said Of him,

has done his work in the "same spirit
in which general who does not count
his dead fights battles to win. lie
has not paused at the sacrifice Of men
or Of principles and would be judged
not by the cost Of the victory but by
results"
His motto, picked up somewhere
along LIES way, has been, "make

The timber question is an important
and interesting one With us, and IL
grows In interest with the coming and
going years. We read recently that
the consumption Of timber per capita
in the United States, has risen to four
hundred board-feet year against an
average Of 80 feet in Europe, and the
timber cut since 1850 would make a
floor one inch thick over the States Of
Vermont, Massachusetts,, Connecticut,
Rhode Island and Delaware The
price Of il, at current quotations
would plate the floor with solid silver
and put a gold head on each and
every nail. And yet the woodmen
will not spare our trees. We are told
that in Germany when one tree is cut
down another is at once planted.
