Forest Fire Prevention.

The country's forests now cover
10000, 900 acres, or one-fonrth of the
total area of the United States, ac-
cording to data compiled by forest
service agents. Forests owned by the
government cover one-fourth of the
total area and contain one-ffth of the
timber now standing. Forests pri-
vately owned extend over three-fourths
OF the forest area. Conservative
numbering is predicted on 10 per
cent of the forests publicly owned and
on less than 1 per cent of the forests
privately owned.
Senator Smoot, chairman of the
section on forests of the national con-
servation commission, states that
under right management the forests
will yield four times as much as they
do now and also that waste can be
reduced at least one-third.
It's estimated forest fires can be
stopped at yearly cost of one-ffth
of the value of the standing timber
burned each year.

The Parrot,s Response

A certain old lady on Having her
rooms painted had her favorite parrot
removed to the servants apartments
for afew days. The lady was not be- !.
loved by her servants, and from them
the parrot picked up the phrase, 81
wish the old lady would die.s'' The
lady became very much annoyed at
hearing her pet expressing itself con-
tinuously in such q manner, and sent
for the rector to- ask his advice how.
she might remedy the matter. The
rector suggested bringing his parrot
and placing, both side by side, and
the "spoiled" parrot would soon pick
up little prayers which he had taught
his bird. This was accordingly done,
and as the two birds watched each
other, while the rector and lady
Listened, the lady's, bird said, 81 wish
the old lady would die;" while the
rector's bird responded by saying,

mayor of st. Paul for many years,
and is one of the most prominent
among the pioneer residents and
business men of that city, is seriously
i'll at his apartments in the MARI
borough, st. Paul, from the effects of
an attack of pneumonia.
Although 81 years old, Mr.. Smith
has retained his vitality and energy,
and it was only last June that he re-
tired from the Office Of mayer, DUR
ing the course of the summer he was
able to enjoy several fishing trips.
Early in the winter he contracted a
severe cold which developed into
pneumonia. he was able to- combat
the disease successfully and was on
the road to recovery when he suffered
a relapse several days ago. His
present trouble is IN the throat and is
causing him q great deal of suffering.

- for example the township of
lnceton as it cannot differ materially
. c'm other towns of the same popula-
9tion and topography. The records
show that on an average there has
been about SIS, 900 spent every year for
five years in building and repairing
roads, bridges and bitches. This
amount includes all the various sums
raised by taxation, from poll tax up
to that which the county commissioners
have expended in this town. Allowing
81 1000 for officers salaries and other
incidental expenses, that leaves 50, 900
per year for actual work.
Now then there is Approximately 100
oAiles of road in the town and, if
figures tell the truth, there is $40 per
mile spent, or rather misspent, in road,
bridge and ditch work. That $40 per
mile each year for five years, rightly
spent, would, no doubt. make good
roads in our town, but the question is
how are we going to get this work
done in a proper manner? It will
surely never be done so long as it is
done by farmers on rainy days or
when they happen to get time. The
work should be done by men who
make a business of such work. It is
as much trade to build wagon roads
as it is to build railroads.
Before this can be brought about
the state constitution must be amended.
Road laws recently passed by our
legislature have been declared uncon-
stitutional by the supreme court.
The farmers use the roads more than
all other classes combined, therefore
they should be most interested in bet
tering their condition, but the farmers
are not organized, and if they we're
would not stay organized long enough
to send lobbyist with wad to con-

ssrests to shape laws to their notion.

Started over twenty years ago and
when it has been talked and written
about for as many years more there

the roads. .... G. E. Chute.

the cap.sheaf because for four years
the educational department of the
state, so far as it could be made SUBJ
servient, has been but a part of the
cabinets tools. This, however, could
be more or less hidden, while this
latest move is so open all can see and
know.
There are wholesome indications
that the people are firing of this con-
dition. The nation did owe debt to
Andrew Jackson; Minnesota has no
obligation to John A. Johnson, nor
to any of his managers. There is a
growing WEAKNESS of so much bluster,
Dragging and billingsgate, and a
growing suspicion that so much boast
ing of saintliness never comes from
saints.
There are even signs that the repub-
licans are again feeling the impulse
of union, and disgust of themselves
at having so long meekly borne the
lash welded by such an array of po-
litical shysters. Unless these signs
fail, the people will know more of
the kitchen cabinet three months from
now and of the manner of men who
have deceived them into doing the bid
ding of those very interests they most
despise and fear.-Duluth News-Trib-

johnson Is Not q jackson.

The democratic press bureau hurls
this at the News-Tribune: Gimme
sofa is a thousand times better off
since John A. Johnson became gov
ernor and you know it. ~ If that be
true, the governor is entitled to his
pre-eminent position of close alliance
with corporate interests
This indeed we do know, that never
before was the state so completely in
the clutches of political cabal,
which does not stop at the doors of
its educational system nor even at the
church. When this gang of political
cut-throats was dubbed the "kitchen
cabinet it was more APPLY named
than was then realized. In it history
repeats itself, for it has made the tao
tics of the Andrew Jackson machine
its own, and there is no more dis
graceful page in the political history
of this government.
Even the governor is but putty in
the hands of this select bunch of DO
litical pirates. No man whether dem
ocrat or republican who does not bend
the knee can escape their systematic,
vicious onslaughts, backed by press
which duplicates the methods of the
Jackson press.
The truth has no meaning for them,
but lie repeated and persisted in is
their favored weapon with which to
smirch man who refuses to bow the
neck.
It has served them we'll, too, as they
have succeeded in lying the republic
cans off their feet and into disorgan-
lied factions. They know no party
but themselves. In two national cam
paigns they have refused to support
the democratic presidential candidate,
using the dirk on both Judge Parker
and Mr.. Bryan; yet outside the state
Governor johnson claims PREMIER

Re Man. BOY.

So you are Il? And you stand up
cleap-eyed, clear-minded, to look all
the world squarely in the eye. You
are man! Did you ever think, son,
how much it has cost to make man
out of you? Some one has figured up
the cost in money of rearing a child.
He says to bring a young man to
legal age, care for him and educate
him, costs S25, 900. Which is lot of
money to put into flesh and blood.
But that isn't all. You have cost
your father many hard knocks and
short dinners and worry and grey
streaks in his hair. And your mother
ali, boy, you will never know!
You have cost her days and nights of
anxiety and wrinkles in her dear face
and heartaches and sacrifice. It has
been expensive to grow you. Buff
you are what we think you are, you
are worth all you cost-and much,
much more:
Be sure of this: While father
doesn't say much but, "Hello son., y
way down deep in his tough, staunch
heart, he thinks you are the finest ever.
And as for the little mother, she
simply can not keep her love and pride
for you out of her eyes.
You are man now. And some time
you must step into your fathers
shoes. He wouldn't like you to call
him old, but just the same he isn't as
young as he used TO be. You see,
young man. he has been working
pretty hard for more than twenty
years to help you up! And already
your mother is beginning to lean on
you. Doesn't that sober you, Twenty
one? Your father has done fairly
we'll, but you can do better. You may
not think so, but he does. He has
given you a better chance than he had.
In many ways you can begin where
he left off. He expects a good deal
from you, and that is why he has
tried to make man of you. Don't
finch, boy. The world will try you
out. 1t will put to the test every fiber
in you. But you are made of good
stuff. Once the load is fairly strapped
on your young shoulders you will
carry it and scarcely feel tiff only
there be the willing and cheerful mind.
All hail, you, on the Threshold!
It's high time you we're beginning
to pay the freight. Your back debts to
your father and mother. You will
pay them, wont you, boy? How shall
you pay them? By being always and
