thst the member from Ohio knows
better what the western people re-
quire in the matter Of forestry Fs9s-

Possibly the citizens of Cslifornis
have mo- proper regard for their NOR

are inherently evily disposed toward
the government interests and care
less with the bureaus rights to con-

lands Of the western states, and in
the face of srch convicton there is
nothing to do but sit still and take
what correction may be dealt out.

but after little while the industri

ern and southern papers with glow.
ing accounts of the progress Wash
ington is making in teaching the
west TO be good, and that will make
all right again. For does the sun
not shine in the east and has not
the west turned ever toward it for
light?
