THOSE newspapers which sneeze when President Roosevelt indulges in snuff, find themselves in rather awkward predica ment in conse- quence of their denunciation of the Hearst Hartman Rockefeller con- spiracy against MT. Roosevelt. It having been ascertained that the unrolling of the plot was purely for the delectation of the matter of-fact MT. Loeb, those denuncia- tory organs are also put into the attitude of having been unable to see the edge of very broad and visible joke. The more self con tained of the administration organs saw something incongruous in the linking of the name of Hearst with his alleged fellow conspirators and maintained a discreet silence re garding the conspiracy.-Phoenix Republican.

THE outspoken opinions of all classes in California prove that President Roosevelt's action on the Japanese question is extremely unpopular. Those familiar with the situation in that state claim that his attitude has given Cali fornia to the democratic party without any doubt. Californians are convinced that the Japanese, like the Chinese. are not desira ble class; that their coming in large numbers would bring a bout another race war in the west like that which now aff1icts the south, and to force grown men of an alien tribe into the schools with innocent children of American civilization is wrong from every standpoint Graha m Guardian.

SELECTING THE RANGERS

The duties of the forest ranger are so manifold that schools of instruction are carried on under the direction of technical experts who have studied the forestry sys- tems of Europe, and who have had long course of practical work in this country. The examinations. which are conducted under civil service rules, are most rigorous, and the unfit and incompetent are excluded at the beginning. These examinations are held at stated periods during the summer, and they show what care the govern ment is exercising in the selection of the men to guard its forest reserves Not only must the sue cessful candidate prove that he is versed in the lore of the wilderness and that he can ride, shoot and pack, but he must also show that he has good education. His fitness for the rougher part of the work is passed upon by technical forestry experts in charge of the examination. and his answers to questions testing his education are scanned by the Civil Service Com
 mission, according to article by Anthony Cha pman, in the Ameri- can Monthly Review of Reviews for April. Each year it is becom
 ing more difficult to get a position as forest ranger. More qualified
 tions are demanded as the import ance of first class forestry work becomes manifest. It seems highly proba ble that before long only those who have had the advantage of instruction in forestry schools will be eligible for the positions which have heretofore gone to cowboys and others who are better versed in the outdoor part of the work than in the finer phases of forestry, as taught in the schools.

A new faith" is coming, says a Cornell professor of Oriental and Biblical history. A "new morality" has appeared, say many voices. It is wonderful age for new things. Professors, clergymen, educators. social reformers and other restless genuises are discovering something new, each in its own field, at the rate of two or three a day the year rourd The curious thing about this business is that every dis coverer of d new doctrine or creed declares his indepence of all doc trines and creeds. Another curious phase of the matter Is that the founder of Christia is made responsible for all of them. But a calm inspection of the thew faith" and the "new morality" shows that the only part of either which is worth noticing has been perfectly familiar to Christendom and has been taught with more or less emphasis by the Christian church for the past nineteen hundred years.-Republican.

 laborers into the United States has reached high tide and hereafter will rapidly recede. Only those will be admitted who are qualified to enter under the law.

Those, holding only passports to Mexico, Canada or Hawaii, wheth- CT skilled or unskilled laborers, are to be refused admission. Those having passports to the United States will be admitted, provided they do not belong to the class excluded by the immigration laws.
