JUDAS OR PETER.

There has always been a suspicion
that the editorial writer of the Ca
zette is ignorant of the Holy Bible,
and that suspicion became a certainty
when, in discussing the religious be-
lief Of Judge Taft, he said. Sunday
last:
And Peter denied Christ thrice
and then went out and hanged him
seif.".
Poor, old Peter! First he was acl
cused of cutting with intent to kill.
next of lying, then Of cussing. And
now comes the Gazette, after 1000
years, saying that he went out and
hanged himself. How transient is
the thing men call fame! For mix
ing him with Judas Iscariot, st. Pc
ter wont do thing to that fellow
when he presents himself at the gate

FOREST RESERVE BILL 1NyALID
House Judiciary Committee Declared
the Bill Unconstitutional.

Washington, April 22.-That 1t is
unconstitutional for the National
Government to acquire lands in the
States for forest reserve purposes,
when 1T cannot be shown that such
acquisition is an aid to navigation,
was to-day declared by the House
Committee on Judiciary The adop-
ton of resolution to this effect fol-
lowed a vote holding unconstitu-
tional the bill providing for the Gre
alton of the White Mountain and
Appalachian reservation in the alb
sence of requisite information cou.
cerning the effect of the proposed
reservation on the navigability OF
the streams, which are fed by waters
within it's boundary. Following is
the resolution, which was unani-
mously adopted by the committee
for the guidance of the House:
Resolved That the committee is
of the opinion that the Federal Gov
ernment has no power to acquire
lands within State solely for for
est reserves; but under its Constitu-
tional power over navigation the
Federal Government may appropri-
ate money for the PURCHASE of lands
and forest reserves in a State, pro-
Viding 1t is made to clearly appear
that such lands and forest reserves
have direct and substantial con-
nection with the conservation and
improvement of river actually nav
igable in whole or in part; and, pro-
vided. that any appropriation made
therefor Is limited to that purpose.
Resolved, That the bills referred
to in the resolutions of the House
are not confined to such last men
toned purposes and are, therefore,
unconstitutional.
This action of the Judiciary Com
mittee opens the way for the friends
of the Appalachian project to frame
new bill within the constitutional
limitations outlined. If such a bill
were introduced 1t would likely be
referred to the committee on rivers
and harbors for determination of the
physical question OF whether forest
lands and forest reserves are or can

Cole l.. Blease, of Newberry,
speaking in regard to his Guberna-

be ready when the State chairman
says Gentlemen, proceed
MY platform has already been an
nounced and on that platform l will
make my campaign"
