Declares He Takes with Women

Over Country.
BY ADELINE STANLEY CARRIcK.

D IGNESS, very big bigness, topped
LID off by a round, genial face with
an iron gray mustache and a pair
of twinkling, small, gray eyes.
This is William Howard Taft, Repub-
lican candidate for President. l make
a notion Mr.. Chairman, that if Mr..
Taft gets elected the presidential chair
be strengthened by iron rods, so affixed
as to support great weight. This coun-
try cannot afford a President who is
liable to fall down, even upon the capt.
tol floor.
Enthusiasm is a peculiar thing. 1t
lifts a mob out of itself wholly and
completely; makes a man forget his
opinions, ever his ideas, and cheer with
the rest; causes sentimental people to
weep, and carries everybody on to an
emotional outburst.
There was q burst of such enthusiasm
when big Bill" entered Blaney's The
atre this morning. by the stage door,
attended by worshipful dignitaries, big
and little. though they ali looked little
compared to him.
Hes used to welcomes, evidently. He
waved his big right arm in a ponder
Gus salute, look a drink of water, al
vanced to the front of the platform al d
began. There's nothing like system,
even in a political campaign. One
learns not to waste time. Wei. like
all the rest, Mr.. Taft opened his re
marks by announcing that he had been
in Newark before and how much he
liked it. All candidates love their
country-before election-especially tfat
part of it in which they are scheduled
to speak. Hence. big Bits" opror-
tune expression of admiration for this
excitable city.
OF a truth that man is "a size as
Samanthy Allen would put it. He
just filled up the space reserved for
him to speak. Hands clasped behind
his back, he said what he had to say,
and no more. occasionally wiping his
forehead and brushing back his curly
gray hair with an immense white
handkerchief. He's a modest man, for
his dark gray suit wal adorned by nc
button of himself, though he faced a
couple of dozen Autographs labeled
with his name, whose main object evil
IDENTITY was to show how he didnf look.

the heads OF the streams, we are al
agreed upon. This is true especially
OF those who have given this matter
Amy thought or study. IL Is not 81
much the forest reserve which we oh
ject TO as II Is the manner In which
the policy is administered.
This is undoubtedly one reason why
Senator Hepburn has been so bitterly
opposed 10 the entire forest reserve
system because he bad been VI
against It and fully realized what u
meant TO the country where the rules
established by Pinchot we're carried
out. Another reason given was due
TO the friendly interest for one Of the
north Idaho lumber firms. whatever
his reasons may have been that he
has been bitter opponent OF the for
est reserve Is u self-evident fact. Sc
long as bis opposition has not had any
weight with the administration his
light has been for nougbt.
The Recorder has always believed
that Clifford Pinchot has been honest
and was doing what he considered for
the best interest OF the country. He
Is what might be called h0bbiest OF
the worst stripe. He has studied
the forestry question anc re-iorestra-
tion until he IL so FIRMLY impressed
with bis views that he can not brook
opposition and 10 place OF benefit
ticg the localities In which the for
est reserves are located he has
worked an injury. He has surround
ed the administration OF the system
with so much red tape that the people
which the reserves directly acct
that the entire Idea has become OBJ
nOxious.
The superintendent Of the Salmon
River reserve Is placed under certain
which he must fulfill or
on comes his head. The people have
no light to make with him tecause
this Is understood. In his inter-
course With those who have business
with the department has ever been
courteous and has done
everything and granted every favor
within his power. None realizes great
Or than he the opposition with which
he has to contend, the different ele-
ments which he must satisfy and In
many cases has exceeded the power no
doubt to grant favor to those with
whom he has come In contact.
1t Is said that all men have hob
BY and that Is the forest reserve hob
~ which he Is riding to death. We
10 not believe that he would be
suilty Of using the department upon
vhicn to graft for his own benefit as
vas charged by some NJ the Western
congressman. We bSsieve he has used
lis power to the fullest extent, In
many cases arbitrarily, to carry out
lis hobby. The mistake being made
n the forest reserve, as II Is now con-
lucted, Is that the revenue for It's
upport comes from the people living
q or adjacent to the reserves, while
his expense should be borne by the
eneral government. As the forest
eserve Is now conducted 1t works a
hardship upon the very people who are
ryin2 to build up the West. The
'urden OF Its maintainence falls upon
be people who can the least afford
he expense.

Roosevelt's latest special message
to congress Is an iDsipid sop for re-
ceptive voters. He offers solace to
the workers and revocation Of his
words OF righteous wrath which he
has hurled over the heads OF the
predatory rich. He desires to make
republican policy last through the
campaign. He thinks the voters will
take bis word and overlook the works
of the party law makers.
