self, because If he is any kind of a
man he Is likely to come back"
This Is the statement made by Judge
Molloney, of the police court, yester-
day. in imposing a nominal fine or
SO on James II. Carter, charged with
ussaultlng James Marshall. Carter
asked lenlency because Marshall, he
said, had invited trouble.
'In fact, ! regard it as a pointed
invitation to hostilities,' added the
court. "To quote the testimony OF
witnesses. one told the other to take
such a statement as he pleased, assert
ing that there was no river between
them, meaning there was no danger
of getting drowned II Carter wanted

with two horns.
Smith emptied his rifle at the beast.

OUR FORESTS;

IMPORTANCE OF TIMBER
Declares That Need of Timber Comes

Forest Streams Furnish Twenty,

The first figures of the inventory Of
the forests of the United States
which the National Conservation COM
mission has made were presented to
the conference by Senator Reed
smooth of Utah, chairman of the
Section of Forests of the Commission.
Senator Smoot's report is a summary
of the great mass of statistics which
the first inventory represents. The
report represents six months work on
the part of the Forests Section ana
presents the most striking figures of
the forests inventory.
In part the report is as follows;

Forests not only grow timber, but
they hold the soil, and they conserve
streams for all useful purposes. How
far forests increase the rain is not
yet known. 1t is well known that
they check wind, and work agalns,
excessive heat or cold. That they
make for the fiber. health. and hap>

William Allen White of Kansas

~ is barely twelve years since William
Allen White was discovered Some
sections OF Kansas knew him as the
Il Emporia editor some years before. but
the sound OF his editorial megaphone
was rarely heard beyond neighboring county
lines In 1896 several things happened to
him. A republican of strong convictions,
he was swattled right and left by the popu-
lists. He did not like their professions and
pretensions any more than their symbolic
Whiskers. and accepted every opportunity to
pull their hirsuts adornments. individually
and collectively. The pulled Dopulists did
not retort In kind. but Haunted before his
eyes and dinned into his ears The Crime
OF '7s." The temperature Of Kansas was
warm enough at this time. The populist
cry made him warmer. His safety valve
was popping and sDuttertng. To diminish
the heat and tighten the pressure he grabbed
pen. some paper and turned loose. In
twenty minutes the pressure was relieved.

foundation of his fame laid in the copy
written.
Then he hung the editorial. along with
some others. on the time copy hook and
went to Colorado Springs to spend a few
days with his wife, who was an invalid. The
next morning he had almost forgotten the
incident Of the day before.
In few days the editorial inspired by
the taunting poDulists appeared on the edi-
torial page OF the modest little country town
daily. There was less than a column of It.
Within week the editorial was put on the
telegraph wires and reprinted in every lead
ing republican newspaper in the country.
The Sunday papers used it and within fort
night 1t appeared on the patent insides", of
the smallest OF the country weeklies. Tele-
grams and letters Of congratulation began
