CHEERING WORDS FROM A farmer.

Albert Utech is a typical county
farmer. On his land is Turtle river
he has replaced pine forest with
prosperous farm. He came to
Bemidji yesterday to put little
more money in the bank and this is
what he said:
We are not going to have hard
times in our locality this fall. Why,
as matter of fact crop conditions,
in dollars and cents, equal that of
last year."
What Mr.. Utech says reflects the

fact he insurges so violently that he
has been endorsed by the democrats.
He is opposed by P. H. McCarry
(they are calling him Patrick
"Hurrah") and his opposition up to
a few days ago was considered a
Joke. Somehow or other an under.
tow seems to have been started
which is raising hob with Mr.. Lind
bergh's fences, which, it is said,
seem in danger of being swept away.
Both are good, clean Republicans,
and as surprising as it may seem, it
is possible that McGarry's remark

speeches, which will be explained
in detail later, will win him a victory.

sofa is properly represented in the
house of representatives. AS there
are only nine congressional districts,
half of the eighteen will be spared
the labor of climbing the steps at
Washington.
The first district is attracting
the attention of the nation because
its present congressman, James A..
Tawney, one of the most promin-
ent members in congress, has op-
position in two directions. Syd-
ney Anderson of Lanesboro, who
has been described as practicing
lawyer, with more law than pract.
ice, seeks to win the Republican
nomination over Tawney, and he
will be assisted in his ambition by
speech or two from Clifford Pin
chot, who, as a rip snorting insur-
gent takes exception to Mr.. Taw-
ney's friendliness to Speaker Can
non, and other things. Judge H.
l.. Buck, of Tawney's home town,
Winona, seeks election on the
Democratic ticket. Mr.. Buck
isn't the strongest kind of candi-
date and unless there is a politica]
revolution he will cause Tawncv
scarcely more truble than the am
bilious Mr.. Anderson.

This is the district now repre-.
sented by the only live Minnesota
Democratic congressman in captiv
ity, w. S. Hammond, who succeeded
James T. McCleary. Mr.. Hammond
is gifted orator and has many
friends, and because of Republican
factional strife probably will be re-
elected, which might not have been

| THIRD.
c. R. Davis of St. Peter has nc
opposition in this district. He was
endorsed early by Frank Day, chair
man of the state Democratic com.
mittee, who says Davis is more of a
Democrat than Republican.
This is the St. Paul district, but
it also takes in Saltwater. Fred
Stevens is the present representative
and it is practically certain that he
is to have no opposition. Hugh T.
Halbert, president of the original
Roosevelt club, which is so pros
porous % that it had its furniture
taken away from it several months
ago, has been making a noise like a
candidate on the progressive plat
form and has been daring 'em to
push him into the fight but, for.
tunately for Mr.. Stevens, no one has
pushed.

CONsERvING THE FoREsTs.

| Don't forget that the policy OF con-
servation of the forests is of vital con-
Germ to the future of your people," said
Colonel Roosevelt to one of his audi
ences of the other day In Arkansas.
Good advice. truly, not only to the peo-
| pie Of Arkansas but to the people of
every state in the union. to the people
of the nation as a whole.
And the recent disastrous forest fires
in Minnesota which not only destroyed
much valuable timber but also caused
a great loss of life and the destruction
of much valuable property belonging to
men and women who were able to es-
cape with their lives, suggest again
that the first step to be taken
in the conservation of the forests
is to protect them from fires. This
can be done. All the experts on con-
servation from Clifford Pinchot up are
agreed on 1t. An adequate patrol Of
the forests by rangers is all that is
needed to nip fires in their incipiency
and put them out before they spread
and develop into tremendous conf1a-
grafton that can only be extinguished
by the hand of God.
An effort is made by the federal gov
eminent to patrol the national forest,
but because of lack Of funds for this
purpose it is a feeble one. Some in
dividual rangers are expected to look
after a territory comprising 100000
acres. This is just fifty times too
much territory for one man to look
after. But in a large proportion of the
privately owned forests of the nation,
the slightest effort is made to patrol
them. Patroling forests costs money,
to be sure, but the cost would be
trifling when measured up with the
damage that is done each year by fires.
No good objection can be raised TO
the contentious of the conservationists
that there ought to be stringent rules
and regulations concerning the cutting
Of trees in the existing forests of the
nation, and also those privately owned,
and there is great need for reforestra-
ton. But the bringing about of this
desirable condition of affairs could
well be left, it would seem, until steps
have been taken to protect the forests
as they now exist from fires. Anyhow
this feature Of the conservation move
ment is quite as important as any
other. There is no disagreement Of
opinion as to how it is best to settle
it. The way to prevent big fires from
getting started in the forests is known
and recognized by every one who has
any interest or knowledge in the sub
ject. The only thing needed is to apply
the remedy. II should be done. A lit
tie more work along such practical
line as this and a little less talk on
the beauties of conservation theories
should be the order of the day

Mrs. Fiske a Good Fairy.

a famous and beloved actress found
time in the midst of q busy day crowd
ed with business affairs to spend a
chatty half hour with pretty Marjorie

dressed inconspicuously in a blue rajah

wound gracefully about a modest little
bonnet She had big, starry eyes, and
dainty way about her, and MarJorie's
brown eyes followed the visitor as she
entered the building.

echoing her eyes, 81 wish she was COM
ing to see me-.
