There are many thipking peopIe

There are many thinking people
who will question President Roose-
velt's precipitate withdrawal of 10, :
600, 900 acres for forest reserves in the
west, with bill pending taking that
power from the president and vesting
IL in congress. His act looks like
the assumption >of authority with
which congress could not be trusted.
1t was arbitrary and an insult to con-
gress which will lose the president
many friends and supporters. Roose-
welt is big man with big stick,
but he il not quite the whole thing,
at least we hope not.

Tickle took lot OF jabs that have slow

total inability 10 successfully carry a lead
TO his cleverer opponent WAS also as sur,
prising. as other things had been claimed
of his ability by his camp followers and
handlers.
Monks old reliable Prince Albert, his
snappy jab. kept the lead in his favor
for at least nine rounds. and then he hus-
&nnded himself for the f5-round journey.
There was little choice between the pHr

HENLEY A
Big joke

The biggest farce in the line OF Eastern
league baseball OF the season was carried
out in the Providence Rochester game yes
terday. the Grays making l3 runs in the five
innings, the game being called of then,
with nobody crying for more
Pitcher Henley of the Bronchos was the
worst ever. A total OF nine fat, juicy
swipes fell into the hit basket OF the home
aggregation, while Moser, the new acquisi-
ton from the Philadelphia Nationals.
made his debut to Providence fandom by
squeezing the lid on the Bronchos and let
ting them down with two bingles.
Besides letting the Grays hammer out
nine safe swats the Bronchos slabman
was seized with nt OF generosity and
IL OF the Grays did the pedestrian stunt
10 first, for which they We're extremely
grateful. To show their appreciation OF
Henleys kindness they proceeded to send
the men all the way around the circuit
on safe bingles.
That the wel>d result was due solely to
the pink article OF ball served UP by Hen
ley was demonstrated by the fact that
the men behind him made but two errors.
1t was the free tickets he handed out
and the hits the Grays knocked out which
did the trick.
Up to the fourth inning the teams were
fairly evenly matched, for the Bronchos
held the Duffyftes down 10 two runs The
carnival OF runs began in the fourth, how
ever, and in the melee six OF the white
shirts crossed the plate. The circus was
continued In the next. when five more
trotted home. Umpire Owens called the
game in the sixth. presumably because
of rain. but all the raan that was falling
at the time would not have bothered the
players a great deal II the score had been
close
