1t even more unpleasant for the rascals
who will fill the saloons and bar rooms
with their rejoicing when Mr.. Hitchcock
goes out. They have been trying to drive
him from the cabinet for years. but have
not succeeded and have had to satisfy
themselves by abusing him and persuading
their representatives in Congress to criticise
his policy and throw all the obstacles they
can in his way.
Mr.. Hitchcock ought to be proud of his
reputation, for he has earned 1t in defend
ing the interests of the government and
protecting the rights Of the Indians. 1t Is

New Governmental Policy.
Secretary Garfield will take up the work
just where Secretary Hitchcock LAYS 1t
down, and, as have suggested, with addi-
tional vigor. He is fearless and able and
has high sense of national honor as well
as personal duty. The administration has
recently adopted new policy concerning
public property In the west, which was re-
Gently expressed in a message from the
President to Congress. 1t will be Mr. Gar
fields duty to carry 1t into effect, although
legislation Is necessary before he can do
great deal. This policy Is based upon
the theory that the time has come when
Congress and the Executive should take
steps to protect the interest Of future gen.

the coal deposits that still belong to the
government, In the water that flows from
the springs in the mountains and in the
timber that covers their slopes. Hereto
fore all these great treasures have been
practically given away to private citizens
for their profit without considering the well
fare OF the general public, but in his mes

Control Of Coal Fields.
The question of the government acquiring
control Of the Pennsylvania coal fields is
being agitated as matter Of public policy.
And therefore many people think 1t would
be well to retain control Of the fuel de-
posits that still belong to the government.
Already about one-half Of the total area of
coal lands in the west has passed into
private hands, and that will be sufficient to
supply the demands of the public In case
the government deposits are not leased. If
Congress authorizes the development of the
remaining coal measures under lease. the
government will not only retain control of
them. but will share the profits of their de-
velopment.
He proposes also that the surface lands
over the coal beds be leased for asricul-
ture and pasturage, as the case may be, so
that the government may still retain con-
tIoi OF them also. and at the same time de-
rive an income from its property.
1t has already been plainly demonstrated
by Ginord Pinchot and his associates that
the forest reserves Of the United States
can De made the source Of a large revenue
care OF themselves, and, what is more inn
portant, they will protect and preserve the
water supply, without which a large part
OF the unoccupied area would be worthless.
the President proposes to apply the same
principles to the public lands that still
remain unsold, and make them a source of
revenue while they are being preserved for
the benefit of genuine home-seekers in the
future. Nearly all of the agricultural lands
that will produce crops without irrigation
have already been taken up. Those which
remain are worthless except as pasturage
until they can be reached by water The
reclamation service in its comprehensive
system of reservoirs can bring under Gull
tivation q very large area and make per
haps one-third of the desert productive. But
that will take time and money. 1t Is con-
sidered good policy for the government to
retain control of such lands and to lease
them for .pasturage until they can be ir-
rigated and offered to the home-seekers of
the future.
The President has asked Congress to give
him authority to carry out this policy, and
although 1t will doubtless meet with vigor-
Gus opposition from private interests, It is

The Leaning Tower.


Mr.. E. T. Churchill of Indianapolis asks
whether the Leaning Tower at Pisa was
planned by the architect and built to lean
fourteen feet out of plumb, as it stands
today, or whether it was an accident. The
question whethet this popularity was in
territorial or accidental has occupied the
minds of great many learned people, but
as the designers. Bonanus of Pisa and
William in Innsbruck, left no record of
their intentions, it is impossible to settle
the controversy. The weight of the an
thorities, like the weight of the tower, is
In favor of the theory that the founda-
lions settled SO much during the progress
OF the structure that the final architects
decided to leave 1t as it stands. The tower
was begun In 1174, and was, not completed
until 1850. so that it has good long time
to settle. On the Other hand, 1t is as
serted that several other towers were built
In Italy about the same time with similar
characteristics, and were intended to be
architectural freaks, as this may have
been.
Prof. Howard Crosby Butler of the de-
partment of art and archaeology, Princeton
University, well known for his Syrian ex-
petitions and his, work on the abbeys of
Great Britain, has the following to say on
the subject:

hardshfps the college boys were told
that it was an exceptionally easy voy-

tiresome place imaginable. He was the
only returning cattleman on board, and
the sailors were an ignorant lot and

should be repeated once or twice.
