81, 900, 900 acres of coal land recently
withdrawn from market nearly one
half of this amount is soon to be re
stored to entity by the president. The
order of restoration, it is said, is to
be made upon information furnished
by the u S. geological survey show
ing that the coal bearing values of
these lands are not Sufficient to war
rant their exclusion from public en-
try. This indicates to the Post that
the president did not withdraw this
land for the mere sake of doing so but
under the impression that it was nee.
essary in order to protect much of this
land from fraudulent entry. As soon
as he learned of his error he restores
it to the same status it occupied be-
fore. The location of the land and
the details of the restoration have not
yet been made public but it probably
affects considerable land in the juris

SATURDAY. MARCH IS, 1907.
FROM AN EASTERN VIEW POINT

In the aggregate the new forest re-
serves established by President Roos-
evelt last week in defiance of congress
include about II, COO 900 acres, more
than FIVE times the area of Connecti
cut aud one eighth that of the entire
German Empire.
President Roosevelt makes no secret
of his intention to defeat the purpose
of congress when he issued his hur
ried order. He knew that within a
few hours the agricultural appropIia-
tion bill would be Il his hands. He
knew that at the instance of Senator
Fulton, Of Oregon, it had been so
amended as to prohibit him from re
serving any more forest land without
the consent of congress. He knew
that he could not afford to veto the
appropriation bill because of single
obnoxious provision. So with charac
teristic decision he first used his legal
powers to balk congress and then
little later signed the bill depriving
himself of those powers. If congress
is dissatisfied with his land policy,
he good naturedly points out, it can
overrule him later.
Preparations had long been under
way to create these new forest Ie
serves Western senators were ac-
quainted with Mr.. Roosevelt's plans
and thought that they had annulled
them by securing the Fulton amend
ment President Roosevelt beat them
at their own game. He preserved the
forests for the public while the sena-
tors were serving the lumber interests
that would destroy the forests for
private profit. As about half the
land reserved lies in Senator Fulton's
state and the ad djoining state of Idaho,
he may not End the irony of the situa
tion so exquisite as Presi dent Roose
welt and Chief Forester Clifford Pin
chot.
These great areas are now as N uch
part of the public domain as they
were before President Rooscvelt's $ or
der, only they are closed to the raids
of the lumber syndicates. The tim
ber on them cannot be laid waste as
upon so many thousands of square
miles it has already been under the
policy of public neglect and private
greed, except congress directly reverses
the presidents decision. The states
in which the reserves lie should be
the first to see the necessity of con-
serving their forests for the benefit of
their settlers and the protection of the
water supply, yet their representatives
at Washington have been the most
persistent opponents of the admins
tration far sighted efforts to main
tain careful watch over the national
property.
President Roosevelt has at least
succeeded in forcing congress to go
slow. If at some later session it un-
dertakes to throw down the bars which
he has raised against the lumber men,
the people will have been amply
warned They will not remain pas

Why He Stopped.
"Well, Green came into the office this

three months, and l was amazed to

say that he didn't believe | could. Two
or three others agreed with him, and
finally got little put out and told
them that / would stop for year
Yes, stop it Is. Not another puff for
twelve long months"
"Do you think you can do it?" asked
Mrs. Bowser in doubtful tones.

you seen any Of the namby pamby

been in the habit of smoking at least
ten cigars per day, but I'll knock 1t

If you can. VIII the extra money that
you save come to me?"
Every cent of it. You can figure on
about $4 a week increase in your pin

giving up this habit because smoking
hurts me or to save the money. It's
Just to show the world that I've got

Just little bit of lcorice root 1t
isn't because l want to smoke, but |
happened to pick 1t up, you know By
the bye, I've got to run around to the
drug store and get corn plaster"
Mr.. Bowser left the house, but he
didn't go to the drug store. He went
to the grocery instead, and he pur-
chased cloves, cinnamon, cardamom
seeds and two or three other things.
He kept his mouth full on the way
home, but had hardly entered the house
when the vision of an eminent citizen
smoking n cigar while he read the
evening paper rose up before him. and
he uttered a groan without realizing It.

Bowser

He sat down and picked up the pa

Then he entered the library and look.

desire an object lesson for such work
they are respectfully referred to Mr..

Mr.. Hartman attitude toward Pres

fiance toward the railroad law advo-
Gated by the administration. Now
Mr.. Hartman is knocking at the door
of the White House and is advocating

Mr. Hartman latter conduct is bst-
