COLORADO IN IT.

The Denver Republican notes that
Colorado commercial organizations
have been solicited to aid in promoting
a national commission for the revision
of the tariff, to be non-partisian in
character and to consider problems
from an economic instead of a politi.
cal standpoint. Dispatches from
throughout the nation indicate that the
movement is national in its scope and
that it is meeting with a great deal of
encouragement. Colorado commercial
organizations were inclined to look
with favor upon the matter.
Within the past week, the Boone
rang copied a lengthy dispatch
from Chicago to the same effect, and
all indications point to the same con,
clusion-that there is going to be a big
fight over the tariff question. When
it does come, Wyoming will be the
first state upon which an assault will
be made. Her exports are almost en-
lESlN composed Ol lue SO-SdlleQ IdW
materials. We are producers of coal,
iron, hides Inc wool. These are the
products the manufacturers of the east
would like to see upon the free list.
Free wool came to us under the vii,
son-Gorman tariff and dealt us a body
blow. At the time of the passage of
that act we had only one representa-
tive in The senate of the United States
and a weak sister in the house, AT
ter our congressman had talked and
talked for free trade during the cam
paign and talked and talked for a tar
if on wool in the house of representa-
tives, he turned about again and yot-
ed fer the Wilson-Gorman bill, a mea.
sure so Ubiquitous that President Cleve-
and refused to sign it. His objection
TO ii, however, was not because of the
free wool 1t provided, but because it
was not free trade enough TO suit him.
Wyoming's interests are with the
protectionists. Everything we have,
almost, is benefited by the protective
tariff. We cannot afford to occupy any
ground but the high protection ground,
because it means money to our people.

No improvement in Forestry.
1t is the general belief that, owing
to the promlscuous cutting, hal there
has been no improvement to the for
estry since the Inauguration of the
present policy, and as Mr.. Jastro elm.
mates the forests, l take it for granted
that the forests have not been bene-
flied and that all that they have &C
complished is the increase in the wa
ter supply" 1T must be conceded by
all fair-minded men that this same re-
suit could have been obtained by the
construction of reservoirs that would
not cost at most more than $40, 600, 900,
but consider what it has cost the state
of California. According to his state,
ment, they have segregated areas that
supplied feed for 10000, 900 head of
sheep to conserve this 25 per cent OF
water, or in other words, they have
annihilated an industry that gave pei.
manent employment to 10000 men,
directly supported over $4,000 people,
contributed annually to labor, support
OF government, commercial and finan
cial institutions, approximately $751;,
000,0 00 and brought into the state year
ly a net revenue of at least 81, 900, 900
Loss to the State.
This deplorable state of affairs does
not pertain to California alone, but is
evident to a greater or less degree in
all inter-mouhtain states where for.
est reserves exist. 1t was stated at the
Helena convention, and / have reason
TO believe that it is authentic, that the
annual loss to the resources of Wyo-
ming, occasioned by denied privileges
or the part of the forestry department,
amounted to $1,000, 900. In view OF
the foregoing circumstances, l ear.
nestly appeal to the better Judgment
of every fair-minded man, is it not
time for us to demand a halt and en-.

THE UNREAD BOOK.

OH lidt nm Nhtiiy Moulu Niilc a ]
book" said one who must have met up
with some of those people who are
trying to persuade the public they are
authors-that is, creators, for the
words mean the same thing. The trou-
BILE with most books is they We're writ
ten by some fellow who has stuffed
himself with other peoples ideas, has
done much reading and very little
thinking, and has finally dumped OF
the public an undigested composite,
naming it a book. l have written
some myself, but thus far the public
has not suffered.
Thus much in passing. The unread
book, the book within whose covers is
no untruth and on whose pages is all
knowledge, this is the book of crea-
ton. Minute parts of it, indeed, have
been read by us all, but so minute a
fraction of the whole and so universal
ly misinterpreted that it has led us
into darkness rather than light. This.
because we reject the authors own
commentary on his great work and in
terpret according to u own ignor.
ance. However, there are some grand
and striking eXceptions-some men
who seem to have gained real knowl-
edge from these wondrous pages and
whose attitude is one of reverence to,
ward him who has written himself into
planet and rock, into flower and sea
into living things and fossil evidence
Of those that were. l say there are
such men and | am glad to believe that
Prof. Reed, whose lecture gave such
delight and instruction to many of us
a few nights ago, is one.
Prof. Reed is assistant g%eologist in
the university at Laramie, and curator
of the museum at the same institu,
ton. He has lived more than three
score years, and for two score of these
years has studied the lessons written
in the rocks. He looks the well-pre,
served man of 45 and talks as one hav-
ing authority. Probably no nan in
America-or elsewhere-is higher AL,
thority in these special lines than is
Prof. Reed, and to him is due the fact
that the University of Wyoming has
the nucleus for the great collection uf
fossil remains ever seen. Many speci-
mems are absolutely unique and to this
gentleman's untiring industry and
magnificent grasp of his subject Is due
the fact that Wyoming boys and girls
need go no further than their own
home university to see all that cad as
yet be taught from this chapter of Gre
atoms book.
That the earth as it now is, WITH all
its myriad forms of life-such life as
has been during the present geological
epoch-was wrought into its finished
state in six days of twenty-four hcurs
each, l have no doubt. l am pushed
squarely up against the proposition
that this declaration is true or that
the Bible is in part false. And it is
no more difficult for me to believe that
1t was all done in one hundred and for.
ty-four hours than to believe that it
was a billion years in the doing. Meth
err is-there one line, one word, one syl-
liable in this world-old book of geology
in contradiction of that declaration
And so | said almost in the beginning
of this article that we so fasc reject
the Creators commentary on this nigh,
ty, unread book of nature and grope
our way amid its overwhelming mass
of facts to conclusions utterly wrong.

To the Editor of The Republican.
In the January 21st issue of the Den.
yer Times there appears an interview
under the title of Forest Reserves
Helps the Farmers by Mr.. Jastro,
president of the American National
Live Stock association. AS his re-
marks very clearly demonstrate the
disregard that his people have for
other industries. the unjust manner in
which it is applied and the unfeasibil-
ity of the present forest reserve policy,

TAFT AND THE SUGAR MAN.

Without going into a long discussion
of Mr.. Taft's attitude toward the sugar
tariff and the Philippines, it will suf-
fee to say that he has reached a def

1irely satisfied with his attitude toward
that industry. Mr.. Taft says as be-

The New York Worlds account of
a Bryan blowout in New York City
reports Senator Gore as saying "he
could see nothing but victory for the
democratic party Mr.. Gore is the
blind senator from Oklahoma.
Senator jeff Davis of Arkansas has
been accused of many offenses against
. horse sense" but the limit is reached
in the assertion that he turned down
an offer of $4,000 a month to go on the
vaudeville stage.
In the senate one day last week
Senator TillmAn, as chairman of the
Committee or the Five Civilized Tribes
pleaded so hard for some work for the
committee that the senate sent it a
few bills just to keep the chairman on
the reservation.
Senator Gore of Oklahoma, in a re-
cent speech made this clever reference
to improvements in recent panics:
Under Cleveland sixty-ive banks in
the southwest closed and they called
it a panic, while under Roosevelt all
the banks closed and they called it a
holiday"
Just before w. J. Bryan butted into
the senatorial deadlock in kentucky
and begged votes for his friend Beck

claimed that a legion of Kentucky

it is said, he will devote some of his
time to force the democratic organiza,
tiOn of the Nebraska state tn disregard
the views of Colonel James NJ. Guffey,
democratic national committeeman for
the state. Bryan hds always been net
tied since Col. Goffey told him in the
D%uquesne club at Pittsburg a number
of months ago that even if he were
renominated he would be defeated.
