Restore -Four Million Acres.

Washington.-More than four million
acres of land will be stripped from the
forest reserves of the United States in
the near future and restored to the pub
lie domain for homestead settlement
through the governments policy in car
rying out Clifford Pinchot's idea as to the
classification of forest lands. This is the
initial result of President Taft's approval
of plan jointly submitted to him few
days ago by Secretary Wilson and Secre-
tary Ballinger for the Reconsideration of
these lands

There is no question that with peace
and good order Cuba is bound to pros
per. Despite all the criticism heard
the island is making good Roadway in
a material sense. The latest reports
show that railroads are extending into
every part. mines are being opened,
the fruit-growing industry is expand
ing rapidly and sugar and tobacco are
bringing returns. Cuba Is fertile re-
gion OF vast natural resources OF vari-
GUS kinds. Even under the prostrat-
ing effect of war there was rarely a
time when a large commerce was not
being carried on. With tranquility
in the interior and free opportunity for
capital and labor to work together.
there is every reason to believe that
in few years Cuba will possess
wealth far exceeding that of many
countries greatly SURPRISING the island
in size.

The Fight Against tuberculosis.

Interest in the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign now being waged throughout the
United States is evidenced by the fact
that in the year 1909 1853 new anti-tu-
berculosis associations were formed,
1873 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospit-
ais were established, and 81 tubercu-
losis dispensaries were opened. COM
pared with previous years, this is the
best record thus far made in the fight
against consumption in this country.
During the year 1909, 43 more asso-
Citations for the prevention of tubercu-
losis were formed than during the pre-
yious IL months, and So more hospitals
and sanatoria were established. On
January l, 1910, there were in the uni
ted States 1874 anti-tuberculosis associ-
ations, 1856 hospitals and tuberculosis
sanatoria and 265 special tuberculosis
dispensaries.

Government Jobs Go Begging.

Washington. Despite the general idea
that government jobs are hard to obtain,
Uncle Sam just now is having difficulty
in finding men to fill them. The civil
service commission is finding it espe-
cially difficult to get men stenographers.
There are plenty of women candidates,
but the commission wants men. The ex.
aminations have been pared down to the
limit in the hope of getting more appli.
cants. but still there is dearth of men
for the places, which pay well and of.
fer good opportunities for promotions.

NEW YORK BRIBE SCANDAL
Albany Trembles at Extent of the
Investigation.

Albany, n. Y.-The two elements
startlingly fraught with dynamic forces
that may blow the lid off of the Aids
Conger scandal in spite of the manifest
disposition of the senate to hold it down,
will be developed early in the second
week of the inquiry.
One of these will afford Governor
Hughes an opportunity to demand that
the legislature as a whole make a search
ing inquiry into the rumors that are now
filling the air of Albany regarding the
manner in which the state government
has been shamelessly used by coterie
of powerful politicians in the matter of
the acquisition of lands for the enlarge
ment of the forest reserve domain.
The other will point to the fact that
at least one of the men who shared in the
profits of the rapaeious bridge trusts
debauchery of the Legislature in 1901, as
testified to by Senator Ben \. Conger and
Deacon 'Hi' Moe, is still alive and that
if the names of the two dead men ac-
cused of taking bride to perpetrate the
outrage are to be brought out the name
of this live man also will be exposed.
1t is realized, of course, that if the
suppressed names should pop out a verit-
able Pandora's box would be opened and
flock of evils of long standing in state
affairs would escape to shame some men
of high repute. Counsel for Aids are
awaiting the fight sign of the Conger
counsel of an intention to expose these
men, while the latter are equally as
anxious to learn if it is the purpose of
the prosecution to make the exposure.

it obligatory that the corporation

that he thought the franchise fair and

what he was after was really the bust

comparatively improbable.
After a lot more discussion of this

cided to revoke the franchise and to
start over again in order to hear both
sides of the case.
