hotel. Next morning while he was still
in bed some one knocked at the door.

"Agafn I say, sir, it is impossible"
How impossible? Isn't it your

treaties Jasmin remained firm, and the
millionaire went away unshaved.

William Fl. Taft is now chief ex-
ecutlve OF the nation. It IS the
greatest position of political power on
the globe, for certainly no honor can be
greater or responsibility we1ghtier
than that which rests upon a man
chosen as the head of eighty millions
of people in self-governlng republic.
Without distinction of party the
American people will wish their
president success in his high Office and
happiness. This is the country of the
men who followed the gallant Nebras-
kan as also of the men who supported
Taft and the other candidates, and
every good citizen can have no other
desire than that events during the
next four years will rebound to the
prosperity and social, industrial ana
moral welfare, Of our common
country.

Theodore Roosevelt deserves credit
above all else for advancing, through
constant and persistent agitation and
the use of the prestige of his great
ofice-the political and mora |
standards OF his party and of the bulk
of the people. He reaped where others
had sown, but nevertheless his
aggressive personality achieved results
where likely no one else could. He
had many and serious faults of speech
and temper but these may be forgiven
and forgotten in consideration of the
good he has done. The people who
have fought him and those who have
fought with him, Will wish him we'll.

Congressman Llndbergh's rules for
the postof6ce election, whether so
intended or not, make it rather diff
cult for democrat to be candidate,
though one or more will be. Under'
the rules man might get as re.
publican 40 votes, and it the
aggregate of republican votes we're
more than the aggregate of democratic
votes, the fortyv0te man would get
the recommendation, although some
democrat might have $50 votes.
Certainly that would not be the
peoples choice. The rules, in
advertently no doubt, seem to take
cognlzance of the belief that Little
Falls has a republican majority, and
candidates of that political faith
would have an advantage, as dem
ocrat. In order to be sure of winning,
would have to get majority Of all
votes cast, thing very unlikely to
occur This does not agree with the
letter or spirit Of Mr.. Lindbergh' 8
first letter, where he threw open the
lists to all, without distinction OF
party. If tho postottice is peoples
matter, as the congressman says, 1--WE
are not arguing or questioning his
views), then there should he no vot
ing by republicans or democrats as
party men, but as citizens. This
strikes US as an Inconsistency. If the
postoface is party perqulsite. then
democrats should not be allowed to
vote or to be candidates. If, on the
other hand, the matter belongs to the
people, then politics should have
nothing to do with the voting.

CONTRAST BETWEEN A GERMAN
AND A MINNESOTA TOWN.

The following is taken from the
March number of the technical World
magazine:
Freudenstadt is town OF 1000
people IN the Black forest region Of
Germany.
Chisholm was a town of 5000 in the
Big woods country of Minnesota.
Every year. from the tall black pine
trees which grow in ordered regiments
on the 5000 acres Of publicly owned
land about Freudenstadt regular crop
of lumber is cut which pays all the
expenses of the city government
mayor, aldermen. police and fire
departments. And that crop will 60
on forever. The thrifty people Of
Freudenstadt may devote their whole
attention to their thriving iron and
chemical industries, knowing that the
beautiful and bene6cient forest will
pay all the cost of their municipal
activities.
Every year-untll this-gr Q d y
private corporations have sent their
hordes into the country about
Chisholm to loot the great pine woods,
leaving behind them a trail of ruin
and desolation and piling up the dry
slashings like kidding ready for
the match. Every fall the patient
people of Chisholm have gone to bed
with the acrld smell of burning pine
in their nostils, fearing lest before they
woke the forest might take its tirery
revenge. Last summer it came For
weeks thick clouds of smoke lay over
the town. Then on Saturday night
the hurricane of flames swept down
and burned Chisholm to the gound.
So sudden and dreadful was the
onslaught that domestic animals
dropped dead in the streets, overcome
by the heat. Men carried out their
sick on beds and rushed through the
smoke and flying embers to places OF
temporary safety. One woman died OF
fright In the morning more than SOC
families were homeless.
Freudenstadt IS a town withou,
taxes. The forest pays them. CHS
holm is town without homes. The
forest destroyed them.
That tells-in little-the story of the
forest policy of the United States anc
its results as compared with that
followed IN civilized countries.
