seventeen million acres Of additional
land. In Idaho the majority OF the
state is included in forest reserves
and presume that the only reason
why there is any land exempted is
that former administrations saw the
wisdom o: having agriculturists &C.
cupy the land in place of vast army
Of forest reserve riders, whom the
people of the state must support in
directly. II the president assumes
that the senators and congressman
from the West ale in collision with
the land fraud grafters he has had
enough petitions presented to him
realize that the people of the West
ale opposed to him riding bis re-
serve hobby to death as he has been
doing.
The settlers in the states, which
are mostly turned over to forest re.
serves, expect to live in those states
during their natural lives, and also

cupy the land even unto the third
generation. After man and wife
have reached a certain age they only
strive to accumulate property for
their children, so that they may
start in life without having the con.
ditions to contend with which were
their lot. Therefore 1t is safe to as
sumo that the occupants of the land
of the reserve states are alert to the
permanent welfare Of their adopted
home. President Roosevelt has not
evidently considered this phase OF
the question, but has ..bull.headedly
gone ahead and handled the question
contrary to the wishes of the people.
Several questions OF national import
have been handled in such way by
tile president that he has lost the re-
spect and homage Of the people In
the past few months. He has not
only injured his own standing in the
, estimation of the people, but he has
injured the interests OF the party to
which he will aspire to the leadership
, for the next few years.

, Cleanliness Is next to gOdliness"
, is platitude which is often credited
to the Bible, but it has more pro-
! fame origin. AS to who Is the author
a we are not in position to say, but
Q is applicable to all conditions OF life.
Especially Is this true to city and
= it's citizens. If there is one Ordi'
+ nance more than any other needed IN

forced, it is an anticipating law.
\ Many people spit on the sidewalks
: through thoughtlessness, many 9th
n ers through carelessness, and many
II more who have no regard for the
feelings of others or themselves. IL
many the sight OF pool OF tobacco
spittal, If not worse than tobacco
s spit, it is most disgusting and re-
: voting sight. To the extremely sen
sitive or to those with natural!
: weak stomach it has the same effect
. as an emetic. To those who have
Q lived in cities where 1t is misde
9 menor to spit on the sidewalk it hat
> a tendency to break those guilty o.
U this disgusting habit, and habits are
. formed which are never forgotten
: Many, who have this filthy habit
! would no doubt break such an Ordi
Q nance through thougbtlessness, bu'
y eventually 1t would have a most salu
Q tary effect. Many will no doubt
i make the assertion that we now have
. ordinances which are not enforced
X but we have national laws which arr
Is not enforced, yet that does not Prov
{, that the laws or ordinances are no
u good ones.
