G. w. Heintze, formerly general
freight and passenger agent of the
North Shore line and now general
traffic manager of the United States
Smelling Company, is IN the city on
business. Heintze is the competitor OF
william Sproule. who is general traffic
manager of the Guggenheims. Both
corporations have mines and smelters
in all parts of the world, and Heintze
and Sproule recently were in Mexico
at the same time looking over the min

rAsHINGTON, March 12.-In
AE view of the widespread COM
wv ment upon the action Of the
President in creating additional
national forests. Forester Pinchot has
given out the following statement TO
explain the policy Of the Government:
National forests formerly called
forest reserves) are created with the
main object of using all their re-
sources in the wisest way. Everything
is for use; the timber, the range. the
water, the land. Only those lands
timber or the protection OF the water
flow are included in national forests.
1t happens that little patches OF agri-
cultural land, small mountain meadows
and very inconsiderable areas of open
grazing land must necessarily fall
within their boundaries, because II
would be impossible to exclude them.
All such little tracts where cultivation
is possible are being classified and are
passing to private ownership through
the act of June IL, 1906, which Is
merely an extension of the homestead
law to the national forests, within
which every bit of agricultural land
will eventually be made to support q
home.
The miner is better off IN a national
forest than on the unreserved public
domain. The mineral laws apply in
precisely the same way. The pros
pector can explore and locate his
claim without the slightest restric-
tion, and in mining localities the tim
ber is protected. kept in the country
and kept from burning up. for the par
ticular benefit of the miner.
"'All timber and wood in the ma
tional forests is for use, and for
prompt use. 1t is sold to the small
man and to the big man. Everybody
who needs timber to establish his home
gets 1t free of charge, and gets 1t when
he asks for it. In the case OF the
national forests recently created. the

NO MIDDLE GROUND.

The great issue before the people
Of Oklahoma aid Indian Territory is
prescribed by the enabling act. There
are only two sides to It. The issue is
so plain that there can be no strad-
idlng of IL, no beating about the bush.
Baby acts don't go. The man who
wishes to exercise his electoral fran
chise must face the music. He must
approve the constitution by voting for
it. or disapprove it by voting against
H. To talk one way and vote the
other don't go.
The enabling act authorizes an
election "at which election the quail
fed voters for said proposed state
shall vote directly for or against the
proposed constitution" There is
nothing in those words to cloud the
issue.
Upon that issue the Democratic
party stands squarely for the consti-
tuition. Standing for the constitution
Of necessity stands for all the clear
consequences of that stand. viz: state
hood
There is one other side to that is
sue. There is only one other side
DO Republicans want it? That Is their
privilege. They can stand with the
Democrats upon the Democratic plat
form. II they so choose, or they may
take the other side and stand
against"
The impossible position is to- stand
either for or against the consultation
and refuse TO stand for the conse-
quences Of that act. viz: the life or
death of the constitution, statehood
and the new era
The Republicans have already in
dulged In long and strenuous cam
paign against the constitution. Be
fore even single act had reached
final passage in the convention the
very slnice gates of abuse, fault fnd-
ing and vituperation were opened
against It. The good was condemned
along with the bad. No opportunity
was ldst to strike the convention.
This record now stands to con
demn those. VINO made It. They find
themselves hampered and embarrass-
ed by that record. II they turn and
approve and adopt that which they
condemned and declared TO be an out
rage. they make themselves a laugh
hg stock. II they reject it they must
stand for all the consequences and
fnee a fierce constituency Verify the
pathway Of the old Oklahoma Repub-
lican bosses lies along the primrose
path of dalliance without the prim-
roses.
Meantime, however, there is
strong sensible path open to all men,
who care more for the welfare of the
state than for partisan policy or par
tisans. and that is to work and vote
for the constitution. statehood and the
new era and all they mean to the long.

ENJoYMENTs OF THE
GAINS OF INDUSTRY.

The first -four sections of the bill of
rights are expressive Of the whole
tenor Of the new constitution. There
Is in them the distinct recognition of
the sovereign power OF the whole peo-
pie of the state, subject TO The con
stitutlon Of the United States, and a
strong clear guarantee of their liberty.
The whole bill Of rights, and particu-

Some idea OF the enormity of the
Democratic gerrymander may be
gained from a careful perusal OF the
following part of an editorial taken
from the Shawnee News:
Prominent politicians and attorneys
at Washington freely express the opin-
ion that President Roosevelt will turn
down the present constitution Of Okla,
homa on these grounds. When II is
understood that a Republican county
like Kingfsher with approximately
10000 voters. is not given any more
representation than little Demo
cratic county like Jackson or Tillman,
with hardly 5000 voters. the. scheme
is so transparent and the injustice so
rank that to call the fertile brain
responsible, a demi-god is putting It
mild. II is such selfish ana umpatri-
