Denver. Colo, June 1S.-The Pub
lie Lands Convention organized this
morning with Senator Thomas H. Car
ter as temporary chairman. Garter
made an address in which he said that
partisan politics must be kept out OF
the convention, but that otherwise
every delegate should have the wild
est latitude in expressing mis- opinion.
He said several men representing the
National Government were present,
including Secretary of the Interior
Garfield and Clifford Pinchot, head of
the forestry department, and that
these men were ready to explain any
policy of the government in regard
to public lands in which the colven-
tion might be interested. After the
appointment of committees on perma-
nent organization, the convention
took a recess until afternoon.
Denver, Colo, June 1S.-Delegates
appointed by the governors of nearly
all Western states and Territories
and by various commercial, stock
kTOWSTS S1ud OTSdnlZd-
tions, assembled here today at the
call of Governor Buchtel to discuss
the public lands policy of the admin
istration and its relation to the inter
ests of the West. Interest in the con-
ve1tion is widespread, owing to be-
lief that it will culminate in a polit-
deal struggle between the supporters
of the President and those opposed to
his policies. All of the discussions
will revolve about the one question
as to whether or not the government
and control of the public lands shall
be vested in department secretary
at Washington, with full powers to
act regardless of the best interests of
the country Involved. This is the allie
cation made against the administra-
ton by many delegates and a general
revolt threatens.
Secretary of the Interior Garfield
is expected to outline the policy of
President Roosevelt relative to land,
timber aid mineral matters, and it
Is hoped by supporters of the Presi-
dent that this statement will serve
to quiet the fears of the discontented.
Other speakers ON the program of the
meeting. which will last three days.
are U. s. Senators Carter of Montana,
Teller of Colorado and Clark of Mon
tana; Congressmel Bonygne of Colo
RADIO, and Monden of Wyoming, and
Governors Bucntel of Colorado and
Brooks of Wyoming. Expressions of
good will have been received from
many governors, Including Gooding
of Idaho. Gillette of California, Burke
of North Dakota, Chamberlain of Ore
gon and Toole of Montana.
All members of the committees con
nected with the convention avow their
intention to steer clear of politics. but
this will be difficult in the face of
the clamor of the two contesting fac
ttons. On one side are the anti-RooSe-
welt political manipulators. who nope
to secure the Endorsement of some
anti-Roosevet candidate for Presi-
dent. The Roosevelt followers are
equally determined to turn the senti-
ment in favor of the administration.
As a result of the conflict, there are
likely to be squally times

How Lincoln Worked.

In Harpers for December w. H. Crook,
who was Lincolns body guard, gives a
dramatic picture of Lincoln in war time.
He pictures one of the levees at the
White House and then:
The levee is supposed to be over at
H. but some people remained until nearly
T. After they had all left, Mr.. Lincoln
wrapped himself in the rough gray shawl
he usually wore out door, put on his tall
beaver hat and slipped out of the White
House through the basement. According
TO my orders l followed him, and was
alone with President Lincoln for the first
time.
We crossed the garden, which lay
where the executive offices are now.
Mr. Lincoln was bent on his nightly visit
to Secretary Stanton at the war depart
ment I stole a glance up at him, at the
homely face rising so far above me. The
strength of it is not lessened in my men,
ory by what would seem to me now the
grotesque setting of rough shawl and
silk hat
That night, as I said, l was little
nervous The President noticed il. He
seemed to know how l felt, too. l had
fallen into line behind him, but he mo-
toned me to walk by his side. He began
to talk to me in a kindly way as though
/ were a bashful boy whom he wanted to
put at his ease, instead of a man ap-
pointed to guard him In part, of course
his motive must have been the dislike OF
seeming to be guarded, of which / have
spoken. But his manner was due to the
iutuitive sympathy with every one, of
which I afterward saw so many in
stances. 1t was shown particularly
toward those who were subordinate 10
him. The statesmen who came to con-
sub him, those who had it in their power
To- influence the policy Of the party which
bad chosen him, never had the consldera-
uuu from Mr.. Lincoln that he gave the
humblest of those who served him.
"A few strides of the Presidents long
larsa few more of mine-brought us
10 the fashioned turnstile that di-
yided the White House grounds from the
enclosure of the war department. Mr.
Lincoln talked in his soft, low voice
chiefly about the reception through winch

L am glad it is over he said.
ventured to ask if he was tired.
Yes it does tire me to shake hands
with so many people he answered
Especially now when there is so muci
other work to do. And most of the
guests come out of mere curiosity
With these Won DIS and the half sigf
which followed we entered the east dool
of the war department. In those dav:
that was a small, mean, two-story build
ing Just in front of the navy department
". went Immediately to Mr.. Stanton
office, which was on the second floor, OF
the north front and overlooked Penn
sNlyania avenue and the White House
There, at the door, 1 waited for him unit
his conference with Secretary stanton

10 the White House. From the momen
Mr.. Lincoln spoke to me so Kindly Tel
at home in my new duties. / never los
.e feeling that came then that While IN
President was so great he was my friend
The White House never awed me again.

He rejoced in the not very humorous
name of Wood and he prided himself on

naturally name like that was too good
