The attempt tot Congressman Rainey
Of Illinois TO make a scandal OF the
administration on the Panama canal
zone will not create much excitement,
in view OF the fact that while he was
making his address in congress, charc-
ing gross corruption in Panama az
fairs, Mr.. Taft was sailing from
Charlie on for the purpose OF making
a thorough investigation of conditions
at Panama. In his speech in the house
Mr.. Rainey reviewed the history of the
Panama canal for the last 400 years,
and revamped all the campaign yarns
used by the democrats in the last pres
idential campaign. He charged that
fraud was committed in the purchase
of the canal and in the creation of
the republic of Panama, and that the
present administration had connived
at the corruption in addition to plan
ming further frauds in the construc-
ton of the canal.
It may be accepted hat matters of
importance are to be decided upon by
Mr.. Taft during his visit to the canal
zone. Evidently there is need for con-
sultation on present plans and upon
future plans, involving the question
whether the style of the canal shall be
changed from lock to sea-level, and
Mr.. Taft naturally wants to have hrst-
hand information. He is familiar with
all OF the official reports and was on
the scene not long ago himself, but
much progress has been made and he
deems 1t desirable to make further per-
sonal investigation at this time. He is
accompanied on his trip by several dis
tinguished engineers, and when he re-
turns he will doubtless have some
thing of importance to to
the American public.
The Panama canal will be before
as president, and it is natural and
proper that he should wish to be as
well advised as possible on all import
ant details. This is in entire keeping

A RUSSIAN MAN-HUNT ENDED

The refusal to extradite Christian
Rudowitz, for whose possession the
Russian government has been making
vigorous representations at Washing
ton, emphasizes the State departments
record of rugged independence of for
eign governments In extradition mat
ters in which this country has reason
to believe that the accused person is
really wanted for political offenses in
stead of the crimes charged In re-
quests for e~xtradition papers.
The Rudowitz case is very similar
to that of Jan Pouren, whose extradi-
ton was denied by this government
some time ago, but the Russian au-
thorities have made even a more de-
termined effort to have Rudowitz de-
livered into their hands. He was
charged with murder, arson, forgery
and several other extraditable offenses
recognized by our treaty with Russia.
An overwhelming mass OF evidence
was, however, submitted to the State
department by friends OF the refugee,
not only acquitting him of the crimes
charged, but showing most conclu-
sively that Rudowitz was really wanted
in Russia to undergo punishment for
having Joined Pouren and others in
revolt against a murderous absoiutism,
IL was asserted that n killing done
by Rudowitz and his associates was in
defense OF their homes when invaded
by the soldiers of the car, who were
slaughtering the wives and children OF
the men suspected Of implication in
the revolutionary movement. The
State department has accepted this
testimony, particularly since it has
been unable to secure a promise from
the Russian authorities that il Rudo-
witz we're surrendered he would be
tried on the civil charges against him
and on no other.
Our experience shows that Russia
cares little about the extradition OF
men charged with ordinary crimes,
after they have escaped to this coun.
try. The entire machinery of the gov
eminent. however, is enlisted when a
political offender seeks an asylum else

It seems rather odd that no one in su-
thority IN the Postoffce department has
ever tried the experiment of advertising It's
wares. Bargains in stamps and reduced

the department makes a big reduction in
postal rates, expecting that the consequent
increase in business will so far toward
making up the deficit. In such a case,
little or no effort is made to advertise
the new rates to the public. The news
papers are relied on to make the nnounce
ments, and the public after that has to
find out the details slowly.
The recent reduction in the letter rates
to England and Germany from 5 cents to
2 cents is a case in point. Here was a
cut OF 50 per cent in the carrying rate. 1t

ords of men extradited on murder or

ing to submit to the tyrannies of the

PROFIT IN FORESTRY

When the cause of forest preserva-
ton in America received it's greatest
impetus through the new policy of
President Roosevelt and Forester Pin
chot, critics of the plan insisted that it
was nothing but an expensive fad with
little prospect of the government get
ting any returns for years to come.
The report of the forestry bureau for
the last year furnishes a pleasing refu-
tation of that claim and a promise of
still more emphatic proof of the profit
In forest preservation. In 1908 the
government sold timber to the value
of $S50,000 from its forest reserves,
of which amount one-fourth was
turned over t o the states in which the
forests grew and the balance was COW
cred into the national treasury to on
set expenses of the forestry depart
ment.
The forestry bureau reports that
this sale has been OF marked benefit to
the forests, and that nearly all of the
timber sold was secured by the neces-
sary process of thinning 1t. 1t is pre-
dicted that the sales of timber for the
present year will exceed $1,000, 900,
and will increase yearly at a rapid rate.
1t is quite probable that within a few
years the from the govern
ment forests will more than pay the
cost OF forest maintenance, In addition
to yielding an annual income to the
states in which such forests are To-

ton OF the sound policy of the government

see spooks Of that kind. Still, the possi-

very real, and the need of adopting some

THE YOSEMITE IN DANCER.

III bF ~ ~
Petitions have been filed with con-
gress protesting against the enactment
of a pending measure authorizing the
city of San Francisco to take a section
Of the Yosemite park for water sup
ply purposes. The petitioners assert
that If the pending bill becomes a law
the most beautiful park in the world
will be practically destroyed.
San Francisco has been trying for
years to secure a water supply in
Yosemite. A similar bill was in
troduced in congress in 1908, but
failed, owing to the opposition OF Sec
rotary Hitchcock of the Interior de-
partment, who explained the harm that
the measure would work to the park.
Secretary Garfield has granted the re-
quest of San Francisco. under certain
restrictions, one of which gives the
secretary the right to revoke the con-
cession at will. The bill pending in
congress would make the secretary's
grant practically perpetual. Congress
can we'll afford to go slow in this mat
ter. Yosemite belongs to the nation
and neither its beauty mol its useful
ness should be thoughtlessly impaired.
