HENeY ENDORSES PlNcHoT.

The natural resources of the Unit ed States belong to the people and should be controlled by the govern ment. It would be fatal mistake to allow private capital to gobble them up. Above all the water power of the country should be conserved. l heartily endorse the policy of eff ford Pinchot, chief forester.
 The most vital problem of conserv ation today is that of ownership of water power rights.
 You and your children will de nounce you as set of fools if you permit the ownership of water power energy to so in perpetuity into the hands of private interests. All the timber that was stolen in Oregon and Washington was but drop in the bucket besides the legalized robbery by corporations.

GATHERING ROSES.

I've gathered, roses and the like, in many glad and golden Junes; but now, as down the world l hike, my my weary hands are filled with prunes. I've gathered roses OCT and OCT, and some were white, and some were red; but when took them to the store, the grocer wanted eggs instead. l gathered roses long ago in other days, in other scenes; and people said, You ought to go and dig the weeds out of your beans." A million roses bloomed and died, mil lion more will die today; that man is wise who lets them slide, and gathers up the bales of hay.-Walt Mason.

The above editorial was written by Gloomy Gus o'Brien, who poses as a political wisacre and brides him. self on his knowledge oT national ar- fairs. What Gustayus states about ormsby McHarg being an undesirable is true enough, but when he contin' ues that McHarg McGahan and Blais' dell ran the Machine in North Dakota pretty much as they pleased in the last two elections he shows a laugh able lack of information.
 In 1906 John Burke Democrat, car ried the state for governor, In 1908 Burke was reelected, Martin Johnson an "Insurgent" was sent to the Unit ed States Senate, while M. B.
