while not precisely confirming the doctrine OF
DR. Johnson who asserted that no man but
bIockhead ever wrote except for money" he
asks if artists might not after ALL do some

observations of Goethe:

The pressure Of business is Of great advan-

intervals Of prosaic work he managed to write
divers poems which, we venture to assert have

Conservation of the country s natural
preservation of the national forests, the
reclamation of arid and semi-arid lands
by irrigation, the disposition of water
power sites upon public lands, and the
disposition of coal, oil and phosphate
lands owned by the government, were
discussed by President Taft in an out
door address before audience of
O,OOO when he was at Spokane Mr..
Taft IS address occupied As minutes in
its delivery.
President Taft s remarks on the gov
eminent national forestry policy fol
lows in full:
""The national forests as reserved
by executive order contain 10y 600, 900
acres of land in the United States
proper. All of this land is now under
the direct control of the forestry
bureau, and is being preserved from
fire and from other destruction, and is
being treated in accordance with the
best modern methods of treating for
ests, under the supervision of Mr.
Pinchot, chief forester and head of the
bureau of forestry in the department
of agriculture.
1t appears that the government tim
Der land is only about One-fourth OF
the timber land owned by private in
dividuals, and that only 3 per cent OF
the timer land owned by private in
dividuals is properly looked after ac
cording to modern methods Of forestry
1.-THE destruction by fire of forests
is estimated to be $4,000, 900 a year
1t would seem, therefore, imperative
that the states should exercise then
jurisdiction over these forests to which
L have referred, and which are held
by private individuals, and requir'
some system of fire protection and tn.
adoption of the best methods of for
estry.

a right to do this because of the gen

nize the necessity for pursuing forestry
reform by making liberal appropria-
tions lor the purpose. The forestry
lands of the United States ought to be
surveyed and carefully preserved, and
its jurisdiction in respect to them
clearly defined.
The regulation of forests in private
ownership within state boundaries is
not plainly within the scope of federal
jurisdiction, and it should be under
taken by the state.
81 do not think that the states have
taken up the matter with as much
energy as they ought, and have not i'm
proved the opportunity which was
given them by way of example by the
forestry bureau of the United States
The president also spoke at length on
the other questions mentioned in the
foregoing, saying also forest lands
owned by the public should be surveyed
and held by the government under the
regulation of the forestry bureau, per
hitting a sale of such timber as shall
be necessary in the proper forestry
preservation. He added, in closing:
There has been a good deal of dis
cussion in the newspapers as to the
attitude of the present administration
toward the general policy of the con
servation of resources, and some IN
fair and altogether unfOunded infer
ences have been drawn.
The truth is my administration is
pledged to follow out the policies of
Mr. Roosevelt in this regard, and while
that pledge does not involve me in any
obligation to carry them out unless
have congressional authority to do so,
it does not require that / take every
step and exert every legitimate infu-
ence upon congress to enact the legis-
latiOn which shall best subserve the
purposes indicated
i do not think that congress, if
properly approached, viii object 10
adopting Legislation of the general
character, which / have outlined. in
the past it has aided the forestry serv-
ice by what seemed TO be ample APP
preparations.
1T has IN measure provided for a
classification of lands by the head OF
the geological bureau. These are both
important steps. / hope nothing will
prevent our taking the further steps
needed when congress meets.
Secretary Ballinger Of the interior
department, upon whom viii fall the

Of law, is la entire accord with me as

WAS HE AFTER PRES. TAFTq
Movements at Portland Give Rise
to Suspician and Arrest
Follows

Portland, Ore.=Held as q suspicious
character because he attempted to
thrust his way. through the police line
Saturday toward President Taft while
carrying a heavy caliber revolver in
his holster and cartridges in his pocket,
Arthur Wright of Lowell Center, Mass,
was subjected to a strenuous third de-
gree here by the police. Wright de-
MED that he was attempting to reach
the president for a malevolent purpose.
He declared that he was endeavoring
to secure a photograph of the presi
dent.
The police, however, have ascer-
tanned that the young man has fol-
lowed the itinerary of the president
through the northwest, although Wright
denied that he was at any time in the
same city with President Taft until
Portland was reached.
Wright was arrested just as the
president s automobile was emerging
from a court of his hotel He was
worming his way through the dense
crowd when his suspicious actions were
seen by body guard of the president.
This man called to Captain of Police
George IL. Bailey, who ordered Wright
to stand back. Wright, however, kept
advancing. According to Bailey he
was not carrying his camera ready for
use. Bailey showed Wright backward
and then felt the revolver concealed in
holster over Wright IS chest.
Calling to detectives, Captain Bailey
grappled with Wright, and with the
assistance of the detectives the man
was handcuffed A 3s-caliber revolver
and several rounds of ball cartridges
were taken from the prisoner, who was
then removed to the city prison.

childhood but he had no idea he meant
