Fair New Year,
Wise with the wisdom sages have

Bend thine ear,
Lift up the veil that covers thy

Strange New Year,
Rainbow a promise over the dark

Lest we fear!
Bury our yesterday, foolish and

Fathoms deep;
Leave the mound unmarked, I'M

Where they sleep.
Then shall the morrows find Us val

TAFT ON FORESTRY.

Statement by clifford .Pinchot. chici
of the United States forest service
regarding the administrations at,i.
tude toward national forests and lbe
work OF the service.
ANY statement that President raft

the conservation movement is without
foundation. On the contrary, | am su-
thorlzed by the president to say that
he is in entire sympathy with the
forest policy and the conservation pol.
icy as already developed and stands
behind them.
This statement is wholly unneces-
sary TO those acquainted with the real
situation. II is made only In answer
TO the large number of questions ask.
ed me during my recent trip through
the west and since my return. These
questions had TO do with rumors to
the general effect that the admins.
tration is out OF sympathy with the
forest policy and the conservation pol.
icy. In order to set these rumors at
rest by an authoritative statement of
what ] already knew to be the fact. |
thought II best TO lay them before
President Taft. Accordingly. it Is with
his authority that make the above
statement.
Il am also authorized by the presi-
dent to deny categorically the story
that great areas are to be thrown out
OF the national forests by presidential
proclamation. The only possible bss,s
for such rumor that | have been
able to discover lies In certain plans
