NATION SHOULD CONSERVE
THE wPUBLIC-LANDS
President Declares Government
Should Control Full Resources.
CITES ERRORS or THE PAST
All Laws Which Merely Prohibit
Trusts Futile-What is Needed
is Not Prohibition of Combina-
tions, but Federal Supervision.

Washington, D. CT cannot tor
empnatically say that all laws which
merely seek to prevent monopoly oil
the mishandiing OF the public by for
bidding combination are certain tc
fail Of their purposes. Our exper.
fence with the interstate commerce
and antitrust laws shows that what
is needed is not prohibition Of all
combinations, but such supervision
and control over combinations, ard
over corporations entering into them,
as will prevent the evils while giving
to the public the advantages of COM
bination."
This is a paragraph from President
Roosevelt's message to Congress call
ing attention to the urgent need of
legislation affecting the different
phases Of the public land situation in
the United S~tates.'G
The President says that henceforth
the nation should retain its title to
its fuel resources, urge Government
control of the Western public land
pastures, with a system of small graz
ing fees, etc., and ask for an extra
appropriation of $500, 000~to aid in
detecting and preventing land frauds.
He contends for a system of Govern
ment leasing of its mineral lands and
for treating these fuel lands as pub
lie utilities.
He points out that it would have
been better if some of the Eastern
coal lands had been left under Gov
eminent control, and suggests provi-
sion in the West against recurrence
OF the conditions we deplore in the
East" Citing $500 cases of public
land entries in four districts men
toned, he says that noncompliance
with the law was found in over half
of them and deliberate fraud in very
many cases.
Mineral fuels, like the forests and
navigable streams" the message
says, should be treated as public
utilities. This is generally recog-
nized abroad. In some foreign coun-
tries practical control of a large por-
ton of the fuel resources was allowed
years ago to pass into private hands,
but$the existing Governments are en-
deavoring to regain this control.
This Government should not now re-
peat this mistakes of the past. Let
us not do what the next generation
cannot undo. We have a right to the
proper use of both the forests and
the fuel during our lifetime. but we
should not dispose of the birthright
of our children"
Concerning the claim that reserva-
ton of the fuel supplies still belong
ing to the Government would raise
the price of Goa in the West, the
President contends that the leasing
will enable the Government
protect the public against unreas-
enable and discriminating charges"
Then follows the paragraph with
this dispatch begins. 7
The message had not yet reached
the Capitol when the House Commit
tee on Public Lands decided to re-
port a bill Numerically opposed to
Presidents recommendations.
Under the present laws only $40
acres a be acquired by one person;
committee think that by increas-
the amount land frauds will be
and the bill permits one
to take up rs much as
1880 acres of land.

the Canadian border Just north of the
North Dakota boundary show that a
grave condition prevails there owing
to the fuel famine and the blockade
OF railroads. Three families Of new
settlers have merged their effects into
one household whileSthe homes of the
remaining two are being torn down
and burned to keep the families from
freezing. The plan has been adopted
by scores of farm families. Where
grain was not shipped it is being
burned as fuel. T~hirty-one dead

Northwest, and it is expected that the

Nearly forty years ago, DR.. R.V, Pierce,
now consulting physician TO the Invalids'

extracting and combining certain medici-
nal principles from native roots, taken
from our American forests, he could pro-
duce a medicine which was marvelously
efficient in curing cases OF blood disorder
and liver and stomach trouble as well as
many other chronic, or lingering all

putting the stomach and liver into

digestion and assimilation Of food which

The youngsters keep on the alert for
bands too, and they are after every
one that comes from the cigars Of
their fathers and uncles and big
brothers.
"In soma respects the new fad is
not bad thing for the cigar trade.
The bands have been dead loss to
tobacconists, who in the end have to
pay for them. They are made in Ger
many, at least all the fancy varieties.
and they add a little to the cost Of
each cigar. Trihing as it may be. the
sum in the aggregate would enable
any Of us to keep steam yachts and

the rate Of 25 for ten cents, the cigar
manufacturers are able to get back
some of the outlay that has been o

LEARNING TO BE HANCMAN
The New Incumbent Has Grewsome
Rehearsals Of His Unen-
viable Profession.

Several executions took place recent
ly at Pentonville prison on the scaf-
fold which has been the scene of the
final exit of numerous notorious GRIM
lnals, relates London Mail.
The executioner was Alec Taylor,
the newly appointed common hangman,
and the subjects hanged" in set form
were lay figures of cloth and sand.
It is, of course, essential that the
official that has to carry out the last
dread sentence Of the law should first
thoroughly learn the technique of his
grewsome profession to insure that
when the time comes all the opera
tions will happen decently and in or
der Therefore each new hangman
Immediately after his appointment
goes through realistic course of
training. In pursuance of this policy,
Taylor, under the guidance of ex-
perienced prison officials who have as
sisted at many executions, is now serv-
ing his apprenticeship.
Several sandbags shaped to repre-
sent men of different weights were
supplied for Taylor's practice He was
instructed that men of varying builds
should be given certain prescribed
drops to effect instantaneous death.
Then sandbag made to the rough
semblance and weight of man was
placed on the scaffold flap. Taylor
was told the weight, the moose was
properly adjusted, the requisite drop
arranged for and the lever pulled
This experiment was performed again
and again with differently weighted
bags.
The other part Of the hangman's S
training, the pinioning of a con
demned prisoner, was even more real
istic. For the time being stalwart
warders posed as condemned murder
ers Taylor, practicing on them, was
shown the quickest and most effectiye
way Of securing the hands and feet.
