TAFT IS FOR THE
FORESTS
CHIEF PINCHOT, SPEAKING FOR
THE PRESIDENT, MAKES THAT
RUMOR AGAINST RESERVES.

Washington, April 2S.-President
Taft thoroughly sympathizes with
the forest and conservation policies,
according to a statement issued by
Clifford Pinchot, chief forester, yes
terday. 1t is denied in this state
ment that vast areas of land are to
be taken away from the national
forests, as rumor has had it. Mr..
Pinchot SCOTS at the assertion that
the forests contain great areas of
agricultural land. He says that any
agricultural land found on the boun-
diaries of the forests will be restored
to entry. Mr.. Pinchot, in his state
ment, says:
"Any statement that President
Taft is not in sympathy with forestry
and the conservation movement is
without foundation On the contrary,
l am authorized by the president to
say that he is in entire sympathy
with the forest policy as already de-
veloped and stands behind them.
81 am also authorized by the pres
ident to deny categorically the story
that great areas are to be thrown
out of the national forests by pres
idential proclamation. The only pos
sible basis for such a rumor that
have been able to discover lies in GER
tain plans adopted by the forest SER
vice months ago. These plans were
in accord with lines of policy long
recognized and established. They
were approved by Secretary Wilson
and they provided for careful ex-
animation AMI mapping of the boun-
daries of the national forests and OF

THE GREAT LIQUOR
DEBATE
MAYOR ROSE OF MILWAUKEE
AND DIR. DICKIE OF ALBION
COLLEGE WILL MEET FRIDAY
EVENING, APRIL 80.

Milwaukee, April 28.-Details have
been arranged for the second in the
series of three great debates on the
prohibition question between Mayor
David S. Rose of this city, opposing
prohibition, and DR.. Samuel Dickie
Of Albion college, the accredited rep
resentative of the national prohibi-
ton party. The debate will he held
in Orchestra hall, Chicago, Friday
night, April 80, and the interest that
the Milwaukee debate aroused in
every part of the country promises
to be even greater on this occasion.
The Milwaukee debate in March re-
suited in some sharp attacks on Mil
waukee by the prohibition speaker,
and as Mayor Rose is an ardent de-
fender of the Milwaukee situation,
it is probable that the fur will fly in
earnest at the coming debate. The
question will be the same as debated
at Milwaukee, Resolved, That pro-
hibition as applied to the manufac-
ture, sale and use Of Intoxicating
liquor is right" but there will be a
slight change in the speaking ar
rangement. DR.. Dickie will lead for
an hour, Mayor Rose will follow for
an hour, DR.. Dickie will half half an
hour for rebuttal and Mayor Rose
will close with the same time for re-
buttal.
The seating arrangements will be
the same as during the Milwaukee de-
bate. The two speakers will pay the
cost of the debate, each will be al
lotted 100 tickets, and the entire
balance of the seating capacity OF
Orchestra hall will be turned over to
various Chicago business and COM
mercial organizations, in proportion
to their registered membership.
| At Milwaukee there were nearly
5000 persons in attendance and the
Chicago debate promises to attract
even greater attention. These de-
bates have been compared to the his
toric debates on slavery between
Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A.
Douglas, inasmuch as they were be-
tween the accredited national repre-
sentatives of the vets and drys of
| the entire country.

come soon; he is gone to see some
one who is ill., And she went
away.
"The clerc went to fasten the
door, but he changed his mind.
To remain there all alone near
two people who were reported
dead was not very agreeable. He
went to find his wife, who came
running at great gallop, and all
out of breath. The two together
felt not much courage, seated near
the bed where les Mentiot were
lying immovable.

Hold thee, wife; thou know

Mentiot had been rich, one would
have gone to seek the doctor to

is nothing to pay for it here, not
even of what will pay for poor

rented and their house ALSO
"'Oui,' replied the wife.
And who is it that will pay
us for our trouble, so much time
we are losing herep
"In speaking thus, the wife of
the clerc took in her hand the
dress and the petticoat of Mar
raine Mentiot which were lying
there, in corner, upon an old,
broken chair.
"'These are not worth much of
anything,' said she. But, my faith
it is well to use precaution in this
world, and above all with people
like these. I can put them aside
And she made paquet. This

said she. And she hid the paquet
under the wood of the bed.

she, when les Mentiot shall be in

"The clerc on his part, threw
the eyes upon the jacket and pan
falcons of Mentiot. He finished
by taking also in the hands.
These are not of much USE
sad he in his turn, but they are
better than nothing. l will also
