TAat Much nj .oussca Pars Bill.

That Much.D hi sonssed Part Bill.
Mr.. DDIToR.-Much is being
said just at this time about the
Appalachian Park or Forest Re-
serve bill, but lately We hear it
called the Park Bill altogether.
The Hon. K. q. Linney, VINO We
believe to be one OF the brainiest
men in the State, in his sharp de-
of the whole scheme.
says that a park is q park the
world over, and that these parks
are owned and controlled by the
government for the benefit OF the
rich or O watering place for the
do-nothing element. Col. Linney
further leaves the impression
onhis audience thatif this billev
er passes Congress that the peo-
pie in all these counties will be
"ousted''.
Now, Reader, what think you
OF o proposition like this?-for a
government, whose very founda-
tion is liberty, given to us by our
forefathers. who blead and died
on the field OF battle that we
might have the right to do as we
please with that which is ours,
to say through it's halls Of Con-
gress to any citizen or number OF
citizens, "You can't do as you
please any longer; you must turn
your back upon your home, up
on the happy haunts OF your
childhood days and get thee UP
and out into any old place you
may fnd" These are some ol
the things that Mr.. Linney inn
presses upon his hearers.
Now gentlemen, ] don't be
lieve one word OF it, hence the log
ical conclusion is that it is a pb
, itical scheme, or that he is fore
, led to his stand by private finan
cial interests. In the humble o
pinion of this scribe, II this bill
passes nothing but the great wa
ter sheds and large boundaries 0
timbered lands will be touched.
But we will grant that Mr.. Lii
ney's argument is well founded

ior The past two years. The Presi
dent has not made any further
announcement OF his position.
Every politician who comes into
Washington. however, has some
thing to say on the subject, and
there is n general report of 'over
whelming Roosevelt sentiment"
all over the country. This is sup
posed to be particularly true in
thelNorth and Middle West. Now
these gratuitious interviews may
be looked no with some suspicion.
The Roosevelt sentiment may be
there, all right, but the inter
views are given out almost with
out exception for reasons that
are personal to the interview. In
the weak districts, where the Con
gressmen know that they were
carried into office under the shad
ow Of the Roosevelt coat-tail,
they feel that il he were nomina.
ted and elected again, they would
stand a much better chance OF
succeeding themselves than if
there we're a new Richmond in the
field. Then on the other hand
there ore a number OF men who
are violently opposed to the Taft
candidacy and who figure that
i. the President could be forced
to some public expression in the
matter, there would be m o r
chance Of debating Taft. Asitis,
the Taft managers are also wor-
ried, because they find it very
hard to get delegations instruct

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Oar Regular Corresp,o ondent.

from 0ar Regular Correspondent.
Third term talk, committee
talk, and all other signs point
toward a reassembling of Con.
gress' The appointment of the
House Committees is one of the
most important jobs as well as
the most tiresome that the Spea.
ker has after Congress assemblies
and the man who Is going to be
elected as Speaker usually has
his slate all made out before the
session begins. There iS no cues
tlon that Speaker Cannon of the
last house will be the Speaker of
the next, if he 80 desires, and un-
questionauly he so desires, for he
said recently III an interview that
he Thought the job of Speaker
was about as important as that
OF President, and that was one
OF the several reasons why he
had not been stung by the Presi-
.dential bee. One OF the o t h e r
reasons was that he could not
get the nomination ii he wanted
it, but that is a side issue.
Nobody knows. yet how + h e
committee jobs are going to be
appointed, but there is one thing
certain, thatSpeaker Cannon has
a big contract on hand. There
are sixty-two committees t h a t

59th Congress, there will be a
number OF changes necessary ir

into detail over these, but t h
most important of them number
only three They are the Com
mittee on Agriculture, that or
Merchant Marine and Fisheries
and that on Public Lands. The

packers in the beef investigation
and tried to block the Admins

The probable successor OF "ads

to him is Chase, OF Connecticut
If he does not get the appoint
