Stick, Pinchot!

1t is to be hoped that Clifford Pinchot will
not resign. The forest service and the public
need Pinchot. The general cause of conservation
needs him. He should stay and do what he can
to keep what remains of the nations natural
resources-forests, grazing lands, water, power
sites and minerals.
Pinchots frends-and they many-wiu
understand the limitations under which he
labors. He is not supreme even in the depart
ment which he manages. He must bend to
orders of a cabinet officer and president. He
must act within the limitations of congress
secretly unfriendly. He must stand and see the
borders of the public forest narrowed. He must
see vast areas opened up to public entry where
public entry" means private spoliation. He must
see his efforts cramped and thwarted by "sena-
torial influence of that brand typified by Hey
burn of Idaho and Carter of Montana. He must
see the predatory interests take their innings"
Tree and power sites, grazing lands and timber
will be distracted from the share which he has
fought 80 hard to hold in trust for all the people
the people of the present and of generation
not yet born.
To step aside may open up the way to some
corporation lawyer, acute in finding ways to
turn this public wealth to private pockets. So
stick, Mr.. Pinchot And see to it that the cause
of conservation is not neglected or defeated.

chief tools. Work produces things of value.
and those who took the states offer Of work
would create the food, the clothing, the shelter
which they need. There would be no real tax
upon the thrifty. There IL not any real Ques-
ton of "pauperizing'' the community. There is
no competition from q lot of people who ex-
changing their work for the necessities of life
There is no tax or burden from number of
people who are creating the things they consume
1t is all a question of furnishing the TOOLS
The tools may be land and farm implements;
they may be ledgers or planes and saws, work.
shop, broom factory, road on which to pound
stone, or a warm room with some yarn and sknit-
ting needles in which old lady may sit and
knit mittens. That is all matter of detail. The
point is this: The state-the COMMUNICATES
city, county, or nation-ought to raise the first
cost by tax the whole community, and then
furnish toos-set up the farm, the shop, the
place to knit and be ready at all times to dispense
not aims, but chance to work. Let this work
be for wages. and let the profit go to those who
make 1t.
This is the only enlightened way to deal with
this growing and always present problem of the
needy. There will always, in community, be
the weak the thriftless, the unfortunate. Some
times that is always with ought not to be
faced as temporary emergency. 1t should be
solved as we solve the problem of city's drain
age-by public tax, public expenditure Of the
money raised, on a harmonious, logical and COM
plete plaza plan devised to meet the need.

Do Something

Wiseacres at Washington predict that the
tariff session of congress will NOT be concluded
before the middle of July. The senate has just
Spent three days on the duty on razors and other
cutlery. 1t has spent two or three other days on
disclosing which of its members are liars or d.
rectly and financially concerned In fixing the
schedules.
Meanwhile, the manufacturing business of
tho whole country is practically at standstilI.
There Is no panic but there are all the conditions
pf panic. Mills and factories not closing to
any alarming extent, but the manufacturers are
not taking any progressive steps, are not making
any extensions. All are sailing close to the
wind, /" waiting to to what extent readjustment
may be made necessary by the new schedules.
Congress has the country by the throat and
long continuance Of conditions cannot fail to
bring disaster. It is the uncertainty that hurts.
This is great nation. It stand almost any
diBAster to any individual business trade, but
70 keep the whole business interests of the nation
a. suspense chloroformed by uncertainty, is
brutal folly. Raxors any other special articles,
aAro only relatively important. and 1t startes
one to be informed that there liars tools
of corporations In the U. s. senate. What the
whole nation wants to know is the basis upon
which. we can 60 ahead and do business and every
minute consumed by congress In reaching any
other conclusion spells heavy loss to national
prosperity.
Let the liars, tools and honest representa-
tfvee in the senate accomplish the purpose of the
session quickly possible. This is what the
nation demands There has been the devil to
pay In every mans business ever since tariff re-
yision was first decided upon. The agony has
been prolonged enough.

IN THE NURSERY

A healthy child of Is to 20
months should be put on diet fit
ted to it's own needs and given at
regular intervals. Five light feed
fngs a day Is the best rule. Ba-
bies should be given the first
meal of milk and toast or zwieback
at 6 or $3.50 a. m. At 1890 they
should have cereal which has
been well cooked and strained;
also stewed prunes, baked apples
or the Juice of an orange. They
should be taught to eat the cereal
without sugar. but with a dressing
|of rich milk only. Cream Is for
older children and adults. The
|child's dinner should be served at
1880 and may consist of meat
broth, or soft-boiled egg togeth-
|er with good bread or toast. All
soups fed to d child of this age
must be free from fat. Crackers
or toast with cup of milk make
a o'clock supper, and another
cup OF milk should be given 1t bed

Why Not State Work?

Why not state work? Why should not every
man or woman, with two hands and q willing
mind, have work proportioned to his or her
strength? As much work desired, and always
food shelter and clothing in return?
Think 1t out In these days hear of
lot Of men who want work and food. AS II there
n not, and should not be, always an abundance
of both. There Is an abundance of both. Work
which means things to do to make old earth
productive-is like the ocean of air around us.
We breathe the latter, when we feel the need,
and ought to have work as freely.
It Is the existing of men and women in COM

A pew in st. Johns church
the one just behind that of Mrs.
Taft-has just been bought by a
daughter of Gen. John G. Black,
for the highest price yet paid for
a st. Johns pew (and they are mo-
torious for the steep prices which
they bring) namely $4,000. Like
the churches in England. the pews
in st. Johns church are handled
as real estate, and the owner of a
pew becomes the owner of that
fractional part OF real estate in fee
simple.
Miss Elkins does not seem to be

By all odds the best equipped
man In the senate for debating the
tariff is A. B. Cummins, the new
senator from Iowa. He knows
more about the intricacies of the
various schedules than the much
overrated Aldrich, and is a great

BABY's BONNET

Baby bonnets are comparatively
simple of construction nowadays.
Many of them are made out of
dainty handkerchiefs
The strings are the most trou-
blesome. but this problem can be
solved by buying a muslin tie for
25 cents and cutting 1t in two.
Either sew them on or hem the
ends and pin on with baby pins.
Some mothers use a single soft
strap instead of strings. 1t fastens
to the bonnet on one side and pins
on the other with baby pins. This
does away with the bunchiness
which Is often uncomfortable In
small babies, and also keeps the
ends from getting where they can
chew them, as they sometimes get
them in their mouths.
