ROOSEVELT'S CONVERTS.

President Roosevelt has a way of
winning men over to his way of
thinking which may be called the
Roosevelt Way" When he finds a
strong, aggressive young democrat
who is fitted for a strenuous job, the
president simply appoints him and
gives him carte blanche, with the
spice of the Roosevelt vigor to en-
courage him.
The vim of the strenuous president
soon makes a good republican of the
democrat, without the formality of
any labored arguments on first prin-
ciples," foundation n-of-the-govern-
ment-ideas," or platform declara-
tions."
Heney has been converted in this
way. Governor Curry of New Mex
leo. is a Roosevelt convert. Both
Heney and Curry were once radical
democrats, taking part in all the pa
rades, bonflres, ratifications and
other demonstrations.
They have been won over by the
president simply because he trusted
them to handle important work and
gave them his own good and sufficient
reasons for doing the work. 1t re-
quired no argument to convince them
that the president is right most of the
time and sincere all of the time, and
SO they have become converts to the
presidents progressive and fearless
policy.
In this way Roosevelt has perhaps
the largest personal following ever
enjoyed by any president. His per-
sonality is vigorous and frank. He
goes into his tasks with vigor and
sincerity and the bigger the task the
better he is pleased with it.
Perhaps neither Heney nor Curry
have radically changed any of their
beliefs on the basic principles of gov
ernment. They have simply shaken
off their partisan prejudice and have
arrived at that stage of mental growth
where they can work in the harness
with anybody who is doing a good
work, regardless of political names or
party lash.
After all, party names are scare
crows used by designing and selfish
politicians. by which their jobs and
their occupation may be perpetuated.
There is really no cause for division
among the people.
The number of Roosevelt democrats
of 1907 almost equals the number of
Bryan republicans of 1896.

END OF THE TURPENTINE PINE.

1t has been estimated that II present
conditions continue, the extinction OF
the long-leaf or turpentine pine, will
be complete within the next 40 or so
years. The United States government
is fully alive to the situation, but 1t is
difficult to see in what way matters
can be improved than by giving ad-
vice to the owners.
1t Is customary to lease tracts Of
timber for short terms Of years to
turpentlne operators. The lessee
naturally endeavors to obtain the
largest quantity of products he can
during his term of lease. AS there
is practically no supervision, he bleeds
the trees to such an extent as to dam
age them. The timber speculator and
the turpentine operators appear to be
in control and are Indifferent as to
whether the country is depleted of the
long-leaf pine.-Public inquirer.

THE CRISIS IN THE SOUTH.

The race problem dwarfs into in
significance in the southern states,
compared to the tangle over the rail-
roads in Alabama, Georgia and North
Carolina.
Alabama is especially wrought up
over the railroad situation and the
state militia will be probably called
out to seize the property, of the
Southern railroad whose license to
operate in that state has been abso-
lutely revoked.
The southern states passed two
cent passenger fare laws and the rail-
roads ignored them. The officials
were arrested and brought into the
state courts when the federal gov
ernment stepped in and gave the
roads to understand that the states
had nothing to do with the rate ques-
ton.
This made the roads more arrogant
and further enraged the states and
the situation is now extremely grave.
Alabama is on the verge of serious
rioting and IL the federal government
does not keep its hands off of state
issues, there is no saying where the
trouble will end.
1t all points to government owner
ship as the only solution Of this per-
picking question.

LIMIT OF HUMAN STRENGTH.

Experiments upon a number of men
have shown that man five feet high
and weighing 1876 pounds will lift, on
an average, 156 pounds through a
vertical distance of eight inches, or
PIT pounds through a height of 1.2
inches. Others 6.1 feet high and
weighing 1873 pounds could lift the
156 pounds to a height of 13 inches,
or 217 pounds to a height of six
inches.
other men six feet three inches
high and weighing 1873 pounds could
lift 156 pounds to a height of 16
inches, or PIT pounds to a height OF
nine inches.
By a great variety of experiments
1t was shown that the average human
strength is equivalent to raising 30
pounds through distance of two
and one half feet in one second.

A New York society woman" has
discarded her automobile because as
she says anybody can own an auto
mobile now; there is no exclusive
ness in the possession of a costly
machine any more" Once she con-
sidered 1t a pleasure to ride in her
auto, not simply for the physical ex-
hilaration Of automobiling, but be-
cause it afforded her what she thought
was "exclusiveness; she possessed
something which but few possessed
and so was happy. Now that autos
are cheap and anybody can own one"
the novelty is gone and she sighs for
other conquests. The selfishness OF
the eastern social set is only equal
ed by its immortality and ignorance.

MANILA'S RIVER FAMILIES.

DIR. A. d. Wilkinson of Nebraska,
describes queer feature of life in
Manila. The river population of Ma
nila is a class by itself. Not to be
outdone by Canton, she has her SAM
pans, known as cascoes and orchas,
supporting $1,000 people within the
city limits, where thousands of child
rem are born, grow, live and die on
these floating cargo crriers
They never dream of any other
world than that which floats about
them. Thesie boats are small, but ac-
commodate family of five to seven.
They have a fire pot, platform and
rice kettle.
The cabin or covered portion is very
small-in fact, l don't see how they
live-and it is a wonder to me that
the children don't fall overheard and
drown. You will often see a woman
sitting at the end of the boat, rowing

ment, as raw land can be bought at
moderate prices on their own terms,
almost, and by a few years work they
can become self-supporting and inde-
pendent on an alfalfa farm.
The stock business also offers a
wide field for young men although
IL may not be as promising as other
fields. But there is no need to leave
umatilla, Union, Baker or any other
eastern oregon county in search of a
good field for young men,"

CRAZY PEOPLE.

Crazy people never act together,
declares the superintendent Of a large
asylum for the insane. "If one in
mate attacks an attendant as some-
times happens, the others would look
upon It as no affair Of theirs and sim
ply watch 1t. The moment we dis
cover two or more inmates working
together we would know they were
on the road to recovery"

The women and girls Of Nez Perce

NO AMUSEMENT MERGER
Independent Managers Correct False
Impression in the Public
Mind.

New York, April 30-The board of di-
reetors of the Society of Independent The
atre Managers, consisting of David Be
lasco, Lee Shubert, Harrison Grey Fiske,
Henry Miller and Walter y. Lawrence,
after a meeting today gave out the fol-
lowing statement relative to the newly
formed United States Amusement COM
pany:
I'VE desire to correct the general mis-
apprehension that appears to exist and
that has found expression throughout the
press, that there has been a merger of
interests of the Independent managers
with what is known as the theatrical syn
dictate.
This misapprehension has grown out
of the recent acquisition for vaudeville
by the newly formed United States
Amusement company of several theatres
under the management of the Shubert
Theatrical company, corporation the
majority of whose stock is owned by
western capitalists. The theatres in ques-
ton comprise several that were acquired
by the Shubert Theatrical company to
supplement the original circuit of indie
pendent theatres, and their withdrawal
does not in any respect alter the general
situation. For the most part those the
aires are situated in the cities of lesser
Importance. 1t is our purpose to conduct
our various enterprises on strictly indie
pendent lines. Our independent interests
will remain independent
''A1l contracts and booking obligations
previously entered into for the indie
pendent theatres acquired by that cor
poratiOn will be fulfilled. but we desire
il to be distinctly understood that the full
fillment of such obligations does not in
Strued either by the press or the public

that if he doesn't il will not be for
want of trying. In Mr.. Pratt's room
there are photographs of his kids. "
They are as sweet a trio as ever snick-
cred when the man behind the camera
told them 20 look pleasant He says
they are the ones who give him inspira-
ton, and 1 don't wonder that he says
it-they would give any man inspira-
ton.
Pratt was born on a farm in Ohio.
His father. who is six feet in his stock
ing feet and built in proportion, is now
SO. He married again-the father did
at the age of "A. The father had been
a school teacher for twenty years. He
had accumulated a competency, owning
farm lands ard being generally we'll
TODD. Before Clarence was born the
father conceived the notion that there
was better opportunity in the city. and
thither he went. His business ventures
were failures and the family was re-
duced to straitened circumstance
wrapped in a shawl because there was
snow flying and there were no shoes.
You may be sure that these conditions
have changed since that time.

Clarence Pratt has been making his
own way since ne was IL years of age.
Until he arrived at the age of 10 he
worked on farms, and then he went to
the city. He became a street car Oper-
alive and was a member of Cleveland
division No. LOG. That union went up
in a strike, but it has been rejuvenated
and now bears another number. Pratt
was chosen a delegate to the biennial
convention in Louisville in 1899. At the
convention in Buffalo in 1901 he was
elected a member of the executive
board; in Buffalo. in 1903, he was re-
elected, much to The disgust of his wife,
who told him that she would send him
p telegram of generalization if he were
licked. He did not seek the office, but
felt the obligation uDOn him of accept
ance in the event of reelection. In
1865 he was again reelected and be-
came the first man on the international
committee. He received SO votes
against AZ for his opponent in the good
natured rivalry.
Today Pratt is in Salt Lake. Within
a few days he may be in San Francisco.
He is waiting to see whether he goes
westward or eastward He is a bird of
but he is a bird with wings.
I believe the newspaper boys regret the
necessity of Pratt's leaving the city
For my part, 1 would that he could
have remained, not as a strike official,
but as a citizen.
