sO-CALLED PINCHOTIsM

Through the efforts of Senator Gug-
genheim and other western senators
large tracts Of government land have
been opened to settlement. These
lands were temporarily held in the for.
estry reservation. The act of the Taft
administration in throwing these lands
open to homesteaders has been hailed
by the sensational press as defeas
of "Pinchotism, when the real fact
is that this action is most complete
vindication of the whole policy of ma
tional conservation, inaugurated by
President Roosevelt and popularly de
nominated "Pinchotism.
The fundamental principle of con-
servation of national resources is to
hold them for the actual use Of the
people and lock them up securely from
the raid of the corporate highwayman, J,
the numbering cattle kings, the insa-
table coal barons and the railway
trust magnates.
1t never has been the purpose of th2
government to hold them permanent
away from the people, hut only to MAKE
eeltain that when they are released
they are to be used by the people.
No right thinking citizen approves
of the policy of dissipa.ing or conniv-
ing for monopoly use our natural re
in vogue for the pas. fifty years an !
Pinchotism" is simply an intelligent
and honest governmental effort to pro
teet the peoples possessions for the
widest possible use of the people

HoMEsTEADs AND FORESTS

We do not believe that the principles
enunciated and put into practice by
Theodore Roosevelt regarding the con
servation of the public domain will be
departed from by the Taft sdministra-
ton; but that the Taft administration
will follow the Roosevelt policies III
all particulars is not to be expected or
desired.
President Taft is differently consti-
tuted, and he has sufficient initiative
to branch out for himself. Roosevelt
was an enthusiast; Taft has the judi
cial poise. Roosevelt blazed away:
Taft will follow with his methodical
instruments.
What Roosevelt accomplished in h's
way in a few years might take his suc'
eessors many years to bring about. In
setting aside forest reserves, the Pres
ident and his advisor in this depart
ment of energy went about the work
a. enthusiasts. Mr.. Pinchot believes in
his heart that forest growth is the first
essential to the general growth of the
western empire.
Updoubtedly change has come over
the scene in the last month, but not
revolution. In the immense acreage
set aside for forest reserves, land was
ineluded that was more useful for
other purposes. The process of elimin
atioa win be encouraged to greater
extest than hitherto. But the old,
Neutrality-suspicious. policy will not
be rsabosed. The public conscience has
has been too thoroughly awakened to
peeust Of this. Senators and repre-
sentskiveo, the great coal and water
poww corporations and the live stock
baren AAat have been % vicious in the
pekeiss for the wast, need not expect
: ssup1ste breakdown Of the forestry
pwyise. This latter has come to stay.

FEW OF OUR fruit growers realize

kAW Ox SoR lTuit SEoWeiS icoiiSo
the Importance of proper irrigation,
cultivation, spraying and pruning OF
orchards. They have not given the
matter of fruit growing enough study
and attention. In fact, with most OF
them stockgrowing, general farming or
something else has been the main thing
and fruit growing has been merely An
incident. This is not as 1t should be.
and the Post hopes there will be- a
radical improvement along this line In
tho DAYS to come. Either the orchards
should be cared for in such way AS to
make the most ont of them for their
owners, and give the country the credit
it deserves as fruit growing section.
or else the trees should not be allowed
to cucumber the ground. If the Grand
valley is worthy to be called a fruit
section, as the Pos. believes it is, lot $
make the orchards yield as they should
Weld, or give the ground over to pota-
toes or alfalfa.

AND THIS IS RED TAPE

| 1t is wonderful the way some people
and some newspapers, in order to vent
their spleen and carry out their pref
1ldiced ideas. will resort to dishonOrable
inuendo and downright misrepreseuta,
tion. A ease in point is that wherein
the Avalanche, under date of April .
abused the Forestry system for the ru!-
ing fixing May l as the date on which
stock shall be permitted on the re.
serves and after considerable haran-
que is forced to admit that the very
| thing which the stOckmen requested
was promptly granted, although the
service was given no credit for acced-
ing to the request.
In an account of the meeting of the
Roaring Fork and Eagle River Stock
growers association, held at Carbon.
dale last month, the Avalanche tried
very hard to work up an overflow Of
sentiment against the reserve system
and in its dishonest efforts in that line
it go. its wires crossed in beautiful
and ridiculous fashion.
"Much red tape in forest reserve,
but the stoekmen finally granted a
badly needed concession are the heal l.
lines, tthat was before the Avalanche
had abandoned hcadlines), to a two
column article in which Holmes abuses
the reserves and Pinchot in desutory
and senseless fashion, making no spu-
cific charges, but rambling on TO fill
up space, and inject all the poison pos
sible, evidently in the hope that some
one at a distance might overlook the
numerous misstatements and inconsist-
encies contained in the article and ac-
tually believe some of it to the defri-
ment of the system.
He starts out with statement about
the deep snow in the mountains, the
protracted cold weather, the scarcity of
hay and consequent high prices of
same, and attempts to connect Mr.. Pin
chot as a particeps crimines in these
unfortunate conditions.
He then says the range is in excel
lent condition for immediate use al
though he somehow fails to give Nj.
Pinchot credit for this desirable CON
dition-doubtless merely an oversight.
Then he tells the people that, in
view of these conditions, the stockmen
wished to turn their cattle on the range
but-ah, my brethren-but, "but here,
Mr.. Piinchu. and his unreasonable for
est reserve policy came to the front.
In common with his generally idiotic
rulings, he had decided that no stock
should be allowed on the forest re.
serves before the first day of May.

GERMANY AND ENGLAND

Although the air has been filled
with various reports regarding coin
ing war between Germany and Eng
land, there are few in the official cir
cles of this country who are fearful Of
such calamity. 1t is true, the strife
for the largest navy is causing the
official heads of the nations some COL
cern, but even this strife is not suffi-
cient within itself to bring about war
that must prove a lasting hurt to both
nations. A war between these two
countries, as great as they are reported
to be; must foreshadow the financial
| ruin of both. No matter which of the
two nations should win in n war, the
| victor would have but very little over
which to strut aud nothing but the
ruins of two once great nations would
| remain at which TO point the finger of
false pride.
| 1t is true relations are more or less
strained between these two countries
| but few Americans are willing to ad-
nit that diplomacy is so sluggish thai
trouble cannot and will not be averted.
In speaking of England and Germany,
| he New York Evening Post says:
If state manship in England and
Germany has not gone sterile, and dip
lomacv become imbecilc. some way of
| l. ,,,l l. 1,nt 4 a
two countries will speedily be found.
The present situation of either, as pic
tured by It's own public men, is grow
ing rapidly to be intolerable. While
their relations, as expressed by the
alarms, iealousies, and recriminations
over the desperate competition in ma
bitter and tense. If there ever was n
chance for large craftsmanship, thcu
it is offered today on both sides OF
| the North sea. Unless skill and diplo
matte adjustment pershed there road
to Cancellation and lasting friendship
will be found.
Consider the plight of both nations
as they themselves confess it. 1t is
primarily, n contes. between them Of
exhaustion. Each is studying the other
to see which will first bleed to death
BY heightened and excessive taxation
each is opening its veins; and the ii.
nancial DOCTORS are standing by to see
which one will first fall fainting to the
ground. Mr.. Chiozzi- Money, the En-
glish statistical expert, has been taking
stock of the British wealth that can he
flung into the ship-building game AMI
gravely assures his countrymen that if
! they stand ready to deliver the last
penny they can hold out in wastcful
competition a year or two longer than
Germany. Misery confronts the people
of both countries, if the path they are
now treading is followed to the end,
but both are seemingly prepared so to
pursue it. If Bishop Butler were alive,
would find in this Anglo German mad.
ness fresh prompting, and point to his
| speculation whether it were possible
for whole nation to go crazy.

LET THE BOY ALONE

The following editorial appeared in
the Denver Times of Wednesday of tl''
week:
"Gee, didn't used to think it was
such a wonderful place, but if l could
only see my house and my mother, ]
would give anything in the world"
So said Willie Malcolm yesterday,
the little chap, 9years old, who ran
away from the state industrial school
and was attempting to walk, barefoot,
to his mother in Rifle, Colo.
Poor youngster! There is many an
exile out here in Colorado whose heart
throbs with the same longing |
only could see my house and my moth
err In many cases the homesick cry
of these children of larger growth
must remain a vain one.
But how about Willie-aged 9-who
was sentenced for Burglary!" No
doubt the kid had been reading "Raf-
fles." He can hardly be confirmed
burglar at 9. Cannot big state Of
merciful men and women manage TO
let Willie 60 home and see his mother?
Evidently the writer of the above is
not at all familiar with the past his.
tory of the boy or of his surrounding
bn ,l
probably never have been penned and
placed before the people of this state
to give them wrong impression.
Although the lad is but nine years
of age, he is as well versed in criminal
acts as man of mature years. De
MED the home comforts that are grant
ed other boys of his age in his town,
with the finger of scorn continually
pointed at him by more fortunate boys;
denied for the most part the society
of these same boys, with whom he must
attend school; with the guarding eve
of mother that must spend her energy
over the washub, that food may be
obtained for her children scarcely ever
upon him; taught to rely upon his own
cunning for the dainties coveted by
children of his age; an outcast to car.
ry out his own Wishes; gifted with the
faculty of lying faster than the aver.
age man can think, but with an active
brain and power of learning that eau.
not be cultivated if returned to his
home surroundings, we believe, as did
the court, that the best place for the
boy is in the industrial school at Gold
en-. There he will be surely given the
food and closhing that his growing
body needs; he will he given the train
ing that may make of him noble man
and one of which the state may yet be
proud. To return him to his home at
this time will permit the old environ
ments to take new and firmer hold.
He will fall into the old tracks and
will soon be on the direct road To a
greater punishment than will be the
term Of training in Golden. Let the
roy alone. He is better off than ever
before, and the "mcrciful men and
of this state will agree that
the court was right when it sent ths
little Malcolm boy to Golden.

ton papers were slightly exercised
this week to read in the headlines OF
what seemed 70 be an effort on the
part of some Denver parties to inter
fore with the Highline ditch which tho
government has undertaken to build
through its Reclamation service. FOR
tunately it seems to really be an efior'

the big government project. The buili-

much to the Grand Valley and Glen
