A NOTE OF WARNING

In an address before the City
Club, Clifford Pinchot, Chief of
the Forestry Bureau, said:
THE lines in this country are
being pretty closely drawn between
those who stand for good govern
ment and those who stand for
special privileges. The square
deal is what we seek as a weapon
in the controversy between the
people and the money interests. I
feel that the time has come for
men to stand up and be counted.
There is a big fight coming up
in the next Congress and it will
be on the question Of water power
rights. The men who control
water power, in the end, unless
the Government controls them,
will control industry. We shall
come to see that this conservation
movement is not entirely concerned
with the monopoly on resource.
The men who control the natural
resources of the country should be
controlled by the whole people"
Mr.. Pinchot said that the same
point Of view which made it ap-
pear that forests should be pre-
served also makes It clear that coal
waste should be stopped, water
power developed and lands irri-
gated. Continuing, he said:
These are the Roosevelt poll
cies; the, are the Taft policies.
Onething President Taft is solemn.
ly pledged TO with all his admin
istration, and that 10 to carry out
these Roosevelt policies, but what
is more important is that they
nave peeh ddopeod into the minds
OF the American people.
Suppose the present tendency
should go on. We have seen
great trusts building up. Sup
pose the utilities fall into the
same category - the railroads. II
lsa pretty picture to suppose that
all these resources will fall into
the hands OF little group OF men
to decide what parts Of the country
should be developed. l am an OPP
tlmist and do not believe VIC shall
ever reach that condition, but un-
less our people take the action I
think they will take VIC shall reach
1t very soon."

VERY JOLLY.

Oh, yes, the war game is a cinch and q jolly time, Surei Sunday the men choked and spluttered and cough ed and sneezed in white clouds of dust that covered everything as with a pail. Yesterday they struggled about in a cold rain that wet down everything in sight and that made puddles in streets and miniature ponds in the fields. The story is that the commissary depart ment hasn't always been able to de- liver the goods on time to the hungry soldiers, and that adds to the delights Of the picnic" Imagine the fund of a days duty in the chill rain. and then crawling into a tent at night in wet clothes to get through the night as best you can! It is as delightful a pros pect as that of a life on the ocean wave in December and January aboard a coal barge tossing on the Atlantic with a hawser and a tub between her and wreckage and death If some of the soldiers don't try to shake the effects of this weeks jolly outing" we miss our guess. War may be chilly some days. but it's what Sherman said 1t was just the same-Brockton Enter prise.

This will do for the Hartford fans to figure on. It is a proble min base ball that is perplexing the umpires of the Pacific league:
 A runner on first started to steal as four balls were called. He was entitled to second on the force, but he overran the bag, and was touched. Umpire McGreevy called him safe be- cause he missed the second bag, and, therefore was entitled to it. By some wise heads it was argued that the runner would have been safe even if he had touched second slipped by and was tagged. But Umpire Tom Toman, the former Wilkesbarre shortstop is not one who tdke= that view. 'I can't see it that way" said he. The ball was neither blocked nor dead It was in play all the time The runner. while forced, was entitled to second bag, but no farther.
