class were newspaper men. A few
years ago the Minnesota editorial
association was considering a trip to
the Pacific coast over the Canadian
Pacific line, and desired to make
connection by the 500 road from st.
Paul to Portal or Moose Jaw. Two
members Of the executive commit
tee interviewed Mr.. Lowery in his
office, were most cordially received,
and cheerfully granted the use Of
the 500 line as desired for such ad-
vertising in return as might be
pledged by the committee, who were
requested to notify him when the
date of the excursion should be fixed
when details of schedule and equip
ment would be determined. A
month prior to the anticipated event
the committee returned to Mr.. Low
ry to announce the required date Of
departure, and though cordially re-
ceived, look of concern was OBJ
served on the countenance of the
traffic magnate. And with sudden
frankness he said: Look here,
boys, I've got in trouble over this
matter. My general manager does
MT take kindly to newspaper travel,
and while of course | can give you
the transportation as | agreed,
wish to avoid any friction or inter-
ference with transportation affairs.
Now, I'll tell you what I'll do: You
go and make arrangements for
transportation on a cash basis, let
me know the amount involved, and
when you find what transportation
is necessary, come to me and | will
give you a check for the amount;
but Of course this must be matter
between ourselves. as you can read
lily see." 1t required but a mo-
ment's thought on the part of the
committee to appreciate the position
in which the friend of the newspaper
man was placed, and to considerable
ly decline his generous offer with
hearty and sincere thanks, an offer
which, had it been accepted, would
have involved an outlay of over two
thousand dollars. The trip to the
coast was made, but connections
with the Canadian Pacific was made
at Winnipeg via the Northern Pa
cific road.

PRESIDENT TAFT TOMORROW.

The American people of all parties
are not disposed to apologize for the
man who goes into the Presidents
chair tomorrow. w. H. Taft has
made good as judge, governor of the
Philippines and secretary of war,
and is not an experiment but dem
onstrated success. The call to him
to go up higher was spoken in no
uncertain way at the election last
November and the people expect
much-perhaps too much-of the
president of their most emphatic
choice, elected as he was over man
high in the popular esteem person
ally and worthy foeman politically.
Give the big man a chance to show
his fitness. and loyal support as the
chief magistrate of the best country
on earth.

1t is the bullet that hits the mark
that does the business. The Am eri-
can navy has traditional reputa-
ton in this respect ever since the
war of 1912, and it is encouraging to
know that much is being done to
keep up the lead of our gunners, not
only in the navy but in the national
guard organizations as we'll as in the
regular army service. Now if only
it would get the fashion for our leg
islators to hit the mark occasionally
on other things besides appropria-
ton bills, much might be forgiven.
But both houses appear to have
squandered tons of ammunition
without winning a victory for the
people. Between the we'll meaning
marksmen who aim high and perfor-
ate the atmosphere and the leaders
whose chietssdesire is to keep down
the score, a whole lot of ammunition
is wasted at the state capitol and
not dent is made in the bullseye.

BULLET WRITES PROHIBITION.
w. c.. T. u.

When Edward Ward Carmack was
shot down in the streets of Nashville
the prediction was made that 1.-The
bullet that ended Mr.. Carmack's
life will write prohibition on the
statute books of Tennessee.
That prophecy has been already
fulfilled. The bill to prohibit the
sale Of liquor in the state passed
both the senate and the house, the
latter giving almost twice as many
votes for as against it. The govern
or vetoed it. as it was expected he
would do. Both houses straightway
voted again, giving it large MAORI
ties. 1t becomes effective July 1st.
Tennessee never mourned for any
citizen as she did for the martyred
Carmack. Memorial services were
held in nearly all towns of the state.
5000 people crowded into the Nash
Vile auditorium for the service, and
many other thousands stood outside.
1t was really his splendid fight for
prohibition that cost him his life,
by arousing the hostility of the OPP
posing faction. He died because he
was not afraid to do battle against a
monstrous wrong, and against those
he believed were upholding it. The
w. C. T. U. of Tennessee lost stall
wart brother in his death.
The Chief has fallen! Halt the guard
For voiceless prayer:
Loves last pale lilies crown the sward
Above him there:
And through the lonesome pines that sway
Above his rose-crowned Rest today
Life's lost winds whisper on their way
Loves deep desyair.
What was the crime for which he died
In unfair fight?
Foul crime! He dared through faith and pride
To stand for right!
And so by coward heart and hand
Shot in the back"-he leaves his band
A shadow in the Lonesome Land
OF starless night
The Chief is fallen! But the Flag
In ripping roll
Waves proudly. Let no trooper lag
Or stalwart soul;
Up! Boot and Saddle To the fray!
And in the mad, wild charge today
God pity him who blocks the way
Or bars the goali

BUILDERS AND KNOCKERS.

An interesting episode of the re-
cent meeting of the state editorial
association was a vigorous demurrer
entered by Editor Child of the Wa
SEGA Herald, to a paper read before
the association on the subject of
knockers. Father Childs, who is a
pretty vigorous knocker himself at
times, came to the defense of the
hammer, contending that about all
of the great reformers the world
had known, from the Messiah, John
the Baptist and Saul of Tarsus down
to President Roosevelt had been
knockers.
1t all depends on the popular idea
of what constitutes "knocker."
If the word is taken upon its COM
mon Interpretation, that a knocker
is one who has chronic crouch
against any man who attempts to do
anything and against every public
enterprise that is proposed. there is
not much to be said in the defense
of such a person, except that per-
haps they serve the purpose that
f1eas and billiards do, in stirring up
lazy people to an unwonted degree
of activity. To the ordinary way
farer, that kind of a knocker is an
affection pure and simple.
What the world needs and often
canonizes, Is the hopeful and the
constructive man, not the knocker
and destroyer. 1t is true that John
the Baptist cried aloud for men to
repent and turn from their sins, but
it is also true that he coupled with
this announcement the statement
that he came to prepare the way for
one who was to come not to condemn
but to save all mankind. AS to Paul,
IN oil litoratura thara is mono to com.
pare with him as the apostle of hope
and the builder of faith that has
blessed and outlasted many CEN
turtles.

stances, President Roosevelt, we

Iowa is up against another prohi.

suppression of intemperance last
week having recommended the pas
sage of joint resolution putting the
question of resubmitting a prohibi-
tory constitutional amendment to

temperance committee of the Iowa
house is of an altogether different
complexion from that of the Mime
sofa house.

The best crop Minnesota raises is
the baby crop, and recent statistics
show that the crop last year was by
no means failure, the total being
close to 10000, a rate of eighteen
babies for every thousand popula-
ton. The death rate was only ten
to every thousand, so that the stcrk
is several laps ahead. If Minnesota

tages as the bread and butter state

know of no public man of today to
compare with the President who
goes out of office tomorrow nearer
to the heart Of the people than when
he succeeded the victim of the anar-
chist;c spirit in politics more than
seven years ago, as a man of con-
structive and uplifting purpose.
Who of the long line Of presidents
has so much of actual accomplish
ments, both finished and begun. to
his credit, as Roosevelt? Indeed,
in the matter of accomplishment,
what has been done during the past
administration in the way of rejuve-
nation Of the national conscience in
regard to graft and the discharge of
official duties, in the success of the
United States as peacemaker
among the nations, in the prosecu-
ton of the Panama canal project and
the rehabilitation of the American
navy, that has been paralelled by
any other administration since Lin
coins time?
The man who does things deserves
his need of credit. The man who
knocks. what others have done or
are trying to do may be doing a good
service as a watchdog, but watch
dogs that bark all the time are a
nuisance and are apt to go unheeded
and fall into contempt. A knocker
doubtless has his uses, but the writer
or speaker who inspires hope and
helps to inaugurate constructive
work in any worthy direction should
not be classified as a knocker, and
We object to such classification.

CaIaveraS Big Tree Forest Saved.

BY signing the bill for the creation
of the Calaveras National Forest,
California, President Roosevelt has
completed the legislative act which
saves for all time the most famous
grove of trees in, the world. The
people of California, particularly
the 600 women of the California
club, haye been working to interest
the Government in this wonderful
grove of Big Trees for more than
nine years, but not until now has it
been possible to arrange plan salts
factory alike to the owner of the
land and to Congress.
The Senate Bill passed by the
House of Representatives has just
been signed by the President.
Everyone interested in the great
natural wonders rejoices that as
means of saving the Big Trees. the
way has been paved for a practical
exchange of the timber in the groves
for stumpage on other forest land
owned by the Government.
Robert B. Whiteside of Duluth,
Minnesota, a prominent lumberman
operating in the Lake States and on
the Pacific coast, is the owner of the
Calaveras Big Trees. After his
agreement to the proposals which
are simply a practical exchange of
timber for timber. the entire Cali
fornia delegation gave>its solid and
enthusiastic support to the bill. No
appropriation is needed to carry out
the provisions of the act.
The land to be acquired under the
bill includes about $50 acres in what
is known as the North Calaveras
Grove in Calaveras county, and
3,04O acres in the South Grove in
Tuolumne county. The North Grove
contains 90 Big Trees and in the
South Grove there are 1880 of these
giant sequoias. Any tree under Is
feet in circumference, or six feet
through is not considered in the
count of large trees. Besides the
giant sequoias there are hundreds
of sugar pines and yellow pines of
astonishing proportions, ranging to
the height of 285 feet and often at
tanning diameter of eight or ten
feet. There are also many white
frs and incense cedars in the two
tracts. A government study of the
land was made by field party un-
der the direction Of Fred G. Plum
mer, United States Forest Service.
in 1906.
The Calaveras Big Trees are known
the world oyer. Most of the trees
have been named, some for famous
generals of the United States and
others for statesmen and various
states of the Union. 1.-The Father
of the Forests" now down, is es-
timated by Hittel, in his Resources

Der; Governor Stoneman" contains
los, 900 board feet, and the Mother
of the Forest" burned in the ter
rible forest fire which licked its way
into part of the grove last summer
contains los, 900 board feet. Each
Of these trees named grows as much
lumber as is grown ordinarily on
fifteen or twenty acres Of timber
land. The bark runs from six inches
to two feet in thickness.
