charge of range matters. A chief
of products will handle the prescrvativc
treatment of timber and strength tests
and study market conditions. a chief OF
lands will look after such matters as land
examinations The office of lands deals
with questions involving the validity OF
claims asserted under tho public laws:
applications for special use of the
sources Of the national forests; changes
in boundaries of forests, and tho cxamin-
alton Of lands applied for under the act
of June II, 1905, for agricultural settle
men'.
The forest service, however, never
passes on the titles themselves. That IS
entirely matter for the general land
office to decide. In case OF applications
for home steads under the act of Juno H.
1906. the forest service Is called upon to
decide whether the land is in fact more
valuable for agriculture than for timber.
and if It Is to recommend Its listing as
open t. entry and patent. In the case Of
claims the service asccrtains whether
any facts exist which seem to show that
the claim Is not legal one. in order that
national forest land may not be unlaw-
fully taken up. But it rests always with
the land office of the interior department
to decide whether the title should or
should not be granted. The branch of
lands in the district forest service or
canization does not mean any new as
sumption of land business.
There will also be In each district n

should be read and pondered deeply by
every citizen of Vermont. New lIamp

Green Mountain state, far as natural

Ing atmosphere is concerned and, as he
well says. these are as legitimate cash
assets in the inventory of the State as
are fertile soil and mineral deposit in the
inventory of other States. all of which
need attention before finding Il market
1t is because these resources of the
Granite State have received attention
and have been pushed pcrsistcntly for
years that New Hampshire leads in this
matter, and Vermont is stil yawning and

"CHEAP EAPTRICK."GARFIELDSAYS
Secretary Thinks the Rockefeller PRan
VIII Fool No One.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 31.-James r. Gar
field Secretary Of the Interior, was in
this city briefly to-day while on the way
to Hamilton and Middletown, where he
spoke tonight. OF the Rockefeller state
ment Secretary Garfield said
1T is a cheap campaign trick and will
fool no one. 1t Is as transparent as
crystal and all who have followed the
work of President Roosevelt's Admins
tration can see through and around II.
~Rockefellers declaration for Taft was
plainly made to injure the man he hypo-
critically processes to support. 1t was
intended to aid Bryan. as has been clearly
pointed out by Mr. Taft and President
Roosevelt He knows full we'll that Mr.,
Taft will carry out Presidents Roose-
velt's policies and President Roosevelt's 8
administration has plainly shown what
"0n the other hand, Rockefeller has
everything to gain by the election Of
Bryan. Bryan's appointment OF Haskell
as campaign treasurer of the Democratic
party in the face of the fact that Haskell
has been notoriously the friend Of Stand
ard Oil is very significant, and this latest
move by Rockefeller clinches the suspicion
that Standard Oil and the Democratic
party have formed combination OF
mutual benefit.
"Mr. Rockefeller may think that the
q cheap trick, but he is badly mistaken.
The people know something about Stand
ard Oil tricks. thanks TO the Roosevelt
Administration Of which Mr.. Taft was a
member and which Mr.. Rockefeller
loathes."

Pennsylvania Democrats Propose TO Give
Him Kerr's Place ON National Committee

PITlsDuI.o, Oct. 81 Upon hearing OF
the death OF James Kerr the Democrats
OF Pennsylvania took steps toward having
James Nj. Guffey resume HIS duties as
national committeeman from Pennsylr
vania. This afternoon Senator Meek,
secretary OF the State central committee,
issued the following statement from Har-
risburg
The Democratic State central commit
tee OF Pennsylvania never recognized the
rImp action OF the Denver convention in
unseatinR Col. Gufrey as the member from
Pennsylvania on the Democratic national
committee. Col. Guney's election by the
delegation from Pennsylvania at the Dem
yer convention WAS ratified by the Demo-
cratic State central committee at its an
nual meeting held in Harrisburg on July
%. 1905. aud he has been. and Is to-day. the
recognized member OF the national COM
iuittee for Pennsylvania by the Democratic
State organization.
The whole Pennsylvania situation now
rests in the hands OF Col. Gufey, no mat
ter what the friends Of Bryan may do or
say. The Denver convention. it would
appear. passed resolution authorizing
each State committee to elect national
committeeman when vacancies occur.
IL It is decided that the death OF Kerr
leaves q vacancy, which the Guffey peo-
pie deny, the Pennsylvania State COM
mittee, which is controlled by Gufey,
will elect him to the vacancy.

JOHN ID. TOOK KBURCHARDS DATE
Hitchcock Says Standard OIL Men Have
- Not Clipped In fer Taft.

Those who 6elve into such matters,
the curious minds that hunt for COM
parisons, brought to light yesterday
that il was on October 20. 1885,. that the
Rev. DIR. Burchard made his famous
Rum. Romanism and Rebellion" ad-
dress to James G. Blaine. and it was on
October % that John ID. Rockefeller
issued his statement announcing that
he was for Taft and giving his reasons
why Judge Taft should be elected over
william j. Bryan.
The problem with politicians yesterday
was what effect, il any, will Mr.. Rookie
feller's announcement have on the for
tunes of Taft or Bryan. All sorts ,of
opinions were expressed. The Democrats
and some Republicans were convinced
thHt the Rockefeller Endorsement might
not be particularly beneficial to Taft in
Ohio and Indiana. In those two States
especially and in Eouthern Illinois the
Standard Oil Company is looked upon as
a powerful concern.
Judge Taft has questioned the mo-
tives Of Mr.. Rockefeller in issuing his
announcement. Mr.. Bryan in his speeches
in the last two days. has hammered into
his audiences that Mr.. Rockefeller is for
Taft and therefore the Standard Oil
Company is for Taft. The reports in
southern Illinois and in Ohio and Indiana
for several months have been to the
effect that the Standard Oil Company
was opposing Taft. In Indiana and Ohio
especially Standard Oil employees said
that they were going to vote against
Taft They accompanied this statement
by the assertion that they didn't care
anything about Bryan but that they
wanted to beat Taft.
Chairman Norman 4. Mack of the
Democratic national committee took up
the Rock efeller matte. again yesterday
and declared: Il have had positive proof
for ten days that negotiations were
going on between the Taft managers and
the Standard Oil Company to get the
support OF the Standard Oil people all
over the country and TO got the contribu-
ton OF 81 ,O0O, 900, which is the same amount
they geve in 1893. 1900 and 1904. Chair
man Hitchcock's denial is no denial. but
only confirms my statement
Chairman Mack was asked IL he would |
make public his positive proof Of this |
statement. He ssid that he would not.
IS it was confidential.
When Chairman Maoks statement was
shown TO Chairman Hitchcock Of the
national committee the latter
made the following authorized state
nent!
-The assertion that there have been
between myself and the
Oil Company in reference to
contributions is absolutely
Untrue. So far as my knowledge goes
here has been no contribution to our
fund by any person connected
With the Standard Oil Company, no
