GOSSIP ABOUT
THE POSTOFFICE
RUMoRED TIA TMRs. cARMAcK
MAY BE APPOINTED AT
COLUMBIA.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March TO-
The Tennessean today prints the fol
lowing Washington special:
! Contrary to the many rumors that
have been afoat the past few days
that the widow of former Senator
Carmack would be appointed post
mistress at Columbia, Tenn, to sue
coed Postmaster jackson, no definite
action whatever has been taken by the
President or Postmaster-General
Hitchcock. However, this does not
mean that the appointment is not
possible or probable, but several in
terviews have been given out by Ten
nesseans that the matter was practi-
cally settled for Mrs. Carmack. 1t
can well be said that the matter of
making postofice appointments is
practically and entirely in the hands
of the postmaster-general and all rec
concentrations presented to the Presi-
dent will eventually be referred to Mr..
Hitchcock 1t is not understood here
that Mrs. Carmack is an applicant for
the place or that she will be an appli-
cant. Her name is simply being used
whether with or without her consent
is not KNOWN by some of her friends.
AS to the matter of appointing Mrs.
Carmack at Columbia, the postmaster
general said to your correspondent
afternoon that the matter had
not as yet been brought to his atten-
ton.

No matter how the seasons might
change, no matter what conditions
might arise, no matter how much suf
fering was entailed upon the stock or
hardship upon the owners, May l was
established as the dead line, upon
which none might trespass.
Now, why not give the people the
facts? The grazing season was fixed
by the department at May l, after con,
sulting with the stockmen as to their
needs, and there isn't one year in ten
that one per cent. of the members Of
the Roaring Fork and Eagle River
Stockgrowers association would turn
their cattle on the forest reserves ear
lier than May l, if given carte blanc
by the department to do so.
But Holmes is trying to make it Hp-
pear that an unusual condition is not
provided for, and in consequence the
stockmen must suffer untold loss-all
chargeable TO Pinchot and the system,
mind you.
Now, the real fact Is that Assistant
Supervisor McLaren, who was in the
meeting when the request was made,
by resolution, promised to take the
matter up with Supervisor French, and
this he did by telephone Saturday af-
ternoon, while the meeting was still in
progress. Mr.. French advised and rec
commended that the request be granted.
On Monday, two days afterwards, the
Glenwood office was notified that the
request had been granted, and that cat
tie might be put on the reserve April
l, without any extra charge. Mr.. M
Laren at once went to the telephone
and notified S. P. Sloss, secretary OF
the association, that the request had
been granted, and before Monday 's
sun had set no doubt Mr.. Sloss had in
formed many of the members of the
decision.
That is to say, the association, in n
perfectly proper and legitimate way
asked for concession which they
thought they were entitled to, the
granting of which they believed would
mean dollars and cents to many OF
their members. The matter was acted
on promptly, and in less than 4s hours
after the request had been made, ths
members of the association knew thai
it had been granted precisely as they
had asked it. and yet this is called re'
tape-in the Avalanche office.

HAD HE READ THE AvALANcHE7

A certain stockman visited in Glen
wood this week, and in the course of
conversation announced that he wish
ed that the government would send
Colorado her share of the forest re-
serve mopey. The man was told that
the money was already in the hands Of
the Colorado officials, but because of
glaring and inexcusable error in the
bill appropriating the same to the vari-
Gus counties, nothing could be done
with the money. He asked when the
bad bill was passed and was told that
the democrats had just finished with it
in Denver before their adjournment.
The stockman thought a minute or
two and said:
"Well, those democrats in the legis
lature, and helped put Barney Maple:
there, certainly handed the people sew
eral big raps this time. had been
led to believe that the government still
held the money collected from the for
est reserves, and that Colorado would
never get her share. But l see / have
been getting only one side of this af-
fair, and that must have been tho
wrong side.'
| The stockman was given copies OF
Denver papere containing articles de-
scribing the bad bill regarding the dis
| tribution of the forest reserve monies,
and he knew they would not dare to
publish anything but the truth on 50
great a question. When he left Glen
wood he was convinced that he had
been following the wrong man on the
forest question. He, like many others,
begins to see the good that is to re-
suit to the stockmen of this state, ii
they will refuse to be further led off
into the wilderness of error and will at
tempt honestly to cooperate with the
government in its efforts to have the
natural resources of this country, not
only to the present generation, but to
| those who are to follow US.

But Mr.. Taft is displaying NO hast.

haust every channel of information pos,
sible, and he wants Mr.. Wiekershan m

TOO MANY GLOBE rRoTTERs

During the past few years the nun
ber of so.called "globc trotters' has
been increasing to the extent that the
people are becoming suspicious of even
the good men that may be taking that
means of increasing their knowledge

Glenwood has been visited by fake
"globe trotters,' and some of the
right sort, but how are the people to
know? All carry what are purpor.ed to
be credent ials-but there are creden-
tials and credentials.
1t is true they secure very little mon,
ey from Glenwood people, who have
been taught by past experience to look
upon the globe "trotter" with more or
less suspicion, but the takers should be

PRES. TAFT AND THE ORIENT

As time passes the country will dis
cover more and more reason for sat
isfaction in the fact that President
Taft has through personal experience
and observation acquired a knowledge
of Oriental affairs surprising that of
any previous President, and possessed
by but few Of the public men of this
or any other western nation.
Last fall a Chinese journalist visited
the United States and interviewed both
President Taft and Mr. Bryan in re-
spect to their views concerning China,
and the course which the country
should pursue in relation to the devei.
opment of that country, along modern
lines. Mr.. Bryan hesitated and finally
failed to give anything like a clear
idea of what his attitude would be in
the event of his election. 1t is prob
abe that he had no clear ideas upon
the subject himself On the other
hand, Judge Taft spoke out distinctly
and in substance declared that if be
should be elected President China in
him would find warm and sympathet-
ic friend in all its efforts to improve
its system of government and intro
duce what are called modern or occi.
dental reforms
Recently the representative of the
China press was given reception in
Peking, upon which occasion he spoke
of his interview with Judge Taft. On
all sides the information conveyed by
him was received with much pleasure,
and it cannot be questioned that the
fact that the man who expressed him
self in such cordial tones respecting
China is now in the Presidential chair
will go far to insure frank and friend
ly relations between China and this
country.
President Taft knows the Orient His
long residence in the Philippines rs
governor Of those islands, and his visits
to Japan and China have given him an
insight into Oriental affairs that will
be invaluable to him in dealing with
Oriental problems. The fact that tho
leading men of the Far East know this
is Of itself an important consideration
for il will enable them to discuss Or;-

sTocKMEN AND THIEVES

The hardest man in the word to con
by every stockman that ever had any
thing to do with such case in any
court.
During the past ten years, the stock
men, from this city 30 the Utah line,
have been bothered time and again by
the cattle and horse thieves. Time and
again have their suspicious pointed to
certain men, but, try as they would,
they. could never get sufficient proof
guilty.
A cattle or horse thief is cunning IN
the extreme. He plans for weeks
ahead to pull off deal, and usually
permits some of the leading citizens
of the country to see him few hours
before the stealing is done. He then
faces the court with whas proves to be
an alibi. He is released and pulls off
another deal within few days.
ton in the district court last week is
looked upon as being the greatest vie
tory the stockmen have ever won III
this section of the state. For ten long
years they have had their eyes on
Grin Stoddard, but could never con
vict him. 1t is said he has faced the
oh nf
stealing no less than sixteen times, but
his cunning in covering his tracks was
always too much for the horsemen.
But, as the boy in the reform school
said to Sheriff Wilmoth the other dag,
II went too far with a horse Orin
Stoddard went too far. He made one
too many trips and the stockmen nab
bed him. Time was when he would
have dangled from the nearest tree,
but wise laws have taken the place of
the lynching bees, and the courts to-
day are trusted to mete out punish
ment to those convicted.
1t is to be hoped that the gang is
broken up and that the stockmen will
not have to devote 50 much time TO
the ferreting out of criminals. This
victory should forever put a stop TO
horse stealing in this section. With
the coming of the telephone the thieves
have but little chance of making a
complete getaway. The stockmen are
orpaniZed as never before and when
such men as Frank Squire, I. B. Grit
feth, and others, start after a horse o.
cattle thief, he might as well come in
and face the music.

CARE IN APPOINTING JUDGES

Ii man wants to get on the feder.
al bench these days, he's got to be
good enough to go to heaven" A
member of the United States senate
said this in disgust the other day when
he was leaving the White house, where
he had gone in an effort to have a
frie ID elevated to the judgcship.
lie exaggerated the situation, but
nth is that never before in the
Aistc.y of this country has so much
care been exercised in the selection of
federal judges as now. The President
who was on the bench long enough to
Issue injunction decisions and learn
much about Judges, is determined that
only the best need apply for such
places
Not only is he himself, by personal
inquiry, Investigating the personal rec
ord, character and ability of every ap.
plicant for n place on the bench, but
he is requiring much similar effort on
the part of the attorney general.
Less than aweck ago a man called
ON the President and he unrolled doc
ument that looked ten miles long. "l
am here for particular purpose, he
declared in excitement. IL want to
prevent a man being appointed as fed.

man s name. But I've already ap.

The upshot of it all was that the
protesting citizen was sent to the at.
toruey general for that official to look
into the case. This resulted in the ap-
