Uncle Sans Business Methods.

1t must be acknowledged that Unc-
lie Sam is a shrewd old chap, and
that he gets his moneys worth in
every deal. But he has some very
unbusinesslike methods, just the
same. For example: The mail for
Saratoga and the upper country has
always been carried by stage from
Walcott to this place, and on to En-
campment, by G. NJ. Scribner. AT
ter the railroad started into business
the stage line was deserted so far as
passengers and express were
ed, and MIR. Scribner discarded his
big stages between here aud Walcott
and carried the mail in a light spring
wagon. Bye and bye, when the rail
road company got to running regular
trains, he carried the mail back and
forth to this place on the train. This
was a great'saving to him in expense
and il brought the mail here at least
an hour earlier than formerly, and ev-
erybody was delighted with the
change.
All went well until Uncle Sam
found out that the mail was be
ing carried on the train instead of
the spring wagon, and he put "a stop
to it. For the past month Mr.. Serb
ner has had to send a team with the
mail back and forth each day, through
the cold and drifts Of snow, fair
weather and foul, just as of old. The
train service would have been far less
expensive, more comfortable and con
v~enient and "a great saving in horse
flesh, but it could not be used be-
cause the contract for carrying the
mail said it was to be carried in "A
stage or in a spring wagon. What
business house would have thought of
compelling "A man. to discard the train
service aud go gack to the expensive
and in%convenient stage linel.

Clifford Pinchot. Forester

Every now and then one notes IA
a red hot roast for Mr.. Pinchot,
head of the National Forest, in some
of the western papers, for his conduct
of that office. There does not seem
to be any well defined reason for this
just simply a desire to roast" for the
sake of roasting" and moi because it
is in any measure deserved. 1t is
perfectly natural that in the first
years of building up a new depart
ment III the government that there
should be mistakes and even grave
errors in the work. This has been
the case in the matter of the National
Forest and it was to have been ex-
pected. Time, patience and much
thought has to be expended on such
a large matter as the creation of a
new brunch of government service.
And if these errors and mistakes are
not the result OF IA purpose to harm
then they should be dealt with len.
ientfy. They should rot be ignored,
nor should they be enlarged upon
but should be treated in all fairness.
Unfortunately we have many men
occupying editorial chairs that will
go to any length in criticisms of ii
public officer. Some do this because
they believe they are doing their duty;
others do it to attract notice to them
selves, for their only hope of getting
into the limelight is to do some out
landish thing.
1t is pleasant to turn from all this
abuse OF a really faithful and consci
entious public officer, to listen to
what his friends say of him. One
of this paper, said recently: "Mr.
Pinchot is one of the finest men |
ever met, and my acquaintance with
him has been a real pleasure. He
has "A keen analytical mind, and once
he turns his mind to "A subject he
Seems to go to the very bottom of it
before he lets up. And it does not
take him very long to do it. 1t was
a matter of surprise to me to see how
quickly he got at the very marrow of
every question that came up before
him. He seems to bore into the mat
ter with the speed and certainty of an
electrical drill, and when be energies
he is master of everything that is
worth knowing in that direction. Per.
sonally he is a perfect gentleman. |
never met "A more refined, scholarly
man than | found him to be. He is
thoroughly master OF every detail con
nected with the National Forest. OF
course there has been some conflict
between his theories aud the way
they have worked out in practice, but
no man on earth is so willing to learn
and so ready and anxious to correct
his mistakes as Mr.. Pinchot. Much
Of the criticism of the man has been
OF the wild eyed, spread-eagle kind,
and when We consider that it comes
from men who have not been
able to have their way in run
ming the public forests, or their
tools, we should take it with a great
many grains of allowance"
This is not intended as a defense of
Mr.. Pinchot, for he does not need

The west, and especially Wyoming,
will take much pleasure in the fact
that Congressman Mondell is now at
the head of the committee on public
lands. As chairman % that commit
tee he will be able to do much in the
way of procuring favorable land legis-
lation for tn" arid region. As a mat
ter of fact the land laws need IA COM
plete overhauling. The homestead
law was made to suit the conditions
in the middle states 80 wears ago. At
that time the government would have
been willing to give any man a pat
ent to the entire state of w yoming,
Montana, Utah or Idaho, if he would
agree to live there. Aud so, when,
in later years, the homesteader filed
on 100 acres of land here, he found
himself confronted with the same
rules as to residence, cultivation, etc
as prevailed i'll the favored localities
states. The laws should be as liber-
al here as they are in western Canada,
to which point 25O,000 good Ameri-
can citizens migrated in the year
1907. That is of itself, the very best
argument that could be brought to
bear for more liberal land laws.

special committee of six members
of the house appointed upon COM
p1ainta of the American Newspaper
Publishers association to investigate
the present high prices Of waad pulp
and print paper in regard to the
tariff, today submitted majority and
minority reports. The majority re-
ports which Is signed by Representa-
tivesgM Mann of Illinois, Miller of Kan
sas, Stafford of Wisconsin and Ban
nonSef Ohio, is a primary report and
recommends that no legislation af-
fectihgg; wood pulp and print paper
be enacted until the committee has
further investigated the matter. The
minority report, which is signed by
! Representatives Sims Of Tennessee,
and Ryan of New York, recommends
the passage Of the Stevens bill to
put wood pulp and print paper on
the free list.
The majority report is summed up
in the following words:
AS wood pulp and print paper
would not to any degree be immed-
lately affected by the removing of
the tariff and the passage of the
Stevens bi1f in its present form
might spell ruin" to the paper in
dustry, and mean ruinously high

mendations for positive legislation
to await until, its investigation has
been completed and the matter di
gested."
