PINCHoT PUNINIELLED

Clifford Pinchot, ex-chief Of the for
estry service of the United States,
barked up the wrong tree when he
blamed Senators Hepburn and Car
ter and Representative Mondell for
the timber fires this year which have
laid such a heavy toll on human life
and property His attempt to emulate
Theodore Roosevelt in unbridled
abuse of public men fell so fat that
he should be convinced of his little
ness. Colonel Roosevelt was and is
a big enough man to call a spade
spade, but the little jackanape sat
elites who try to shine in his reflect
ed glory fall down fiat when they
attempt to do the same thing.
Pinchot brazenly said that the leg
islators named, on account of their
opposition to further appropriations
for the forestry bureau, must should
er the blame for the fires which have
devastated such a vast amount of
timber and other property during
the last two months Senator Hey
burns reply was brief and to the
point. Senator Carter went more into
detail. He showed that since 1896
Congress has appropriated $19,9S4,-
$50 for the forest service and that
of this immense sum only 81 100000
has been used for the improvement
and protection of the forests in the
national reserves. This left S1S,923,-
O60 for general expenses" not in
Guiding $796.62O additional for sal
aries. Supplementing this the forest
ry bureau has collected i'm that per-
iod over S5,OOO.O0O from the sale of
timber etc. which amount has also
been used i'm administering the af-
fairs of the bureau This almost in
conceivable amount of money has.
in the last "a years been used for
lecturers. the payment of editorial
writer's and reporters, the maintain
ing of a bureau of publicity, sending
forest rangers to agricultural colleges
in various states, and for generally
educating" the people up to the un-
American idea of Matchmaking the
resources of the west. 1t is safe 20
say that if one-tenth of the money
wasted for these purposes had been
expended towards the protection of
the forests, there would have been no
such loss as has occurred this year
and in previous years. Then, too,
keeping settlers out of the forest re-
serves is an invitation to the fire
fiend for it is impossible to prop
erly patrol these great isolated tracts
and to quench incipient fires and thus
prevent their spread. The people will
indict Pnchot and not the men he
maligns.

Theodore Roosevelt, in an address
delivered before the Colorado lesis-
Iature at Denver this week, cast as
pensions upon the Supreme Court of
the United States because of two de-
cisions rendered by it which did not
meet with his approval or confirm
with his views. Colonel Roosevelt is
not a lawyer while the Supreme
Judges are supposed to represent the
utmost in legal training and judicial
minds. 1t is safe to assume, for a
layman at least. that the judges OF
the Supreme Court were guided abb
solutely by the law i'm rendering the
decisions of which Colonel Roosevelt
complains and if any censure is due.
it should be directed against the law
and not against those who interpret
it. There is unquestionably too mucn
law and 900 little justice in this eouu-
try. but the abuse of the courts Will
not bring about a cure. The supreme
Court of the United States is the safe
~ valve ofthenation Acrimonious de-
bate and blind partisanship do not
enter into its deliberations, as is
the case in legislative bodies. Il con-
siiers matters presented TO it for de-
termination in calm, deliberate
manner and applies the law to them
without bias or prejudice. Attempts
to discredit the Supreme Court

Roosevelt can point out inconsistent

twelve years of hard work and thousands of dollars to get a good amendment submitted and they would have given up, but for the final strong support of ex Governor Folk.
 In Ohio the fight has been car ried on for eight years, and has cost some $15, 1000 from hundreds of contributors and there has been no amendment submitted yet. In Ohio the people are demanding acting, and the corporation lobby ists are bowling about the danger ous provisions of the proposed amendment.
 In Massachusetts an amendment passed the lower house and was amended by the politicians so that 1t took 20 per cent of the voters to sign a petition for referendum. Even that was killed later.
 In Montana they fixed it so that you have to distribute the petition CTS over the state. which makes it more difficult for the people.
 In all cases they demand a ma jority of all votes cast in the elec- tion necessary to pass a law. By this trick all the ignorant uncast votes are counted against the peoples measures every time they bring one to vote. Enough.
 Do you know that amendment No. 10 contains none of these fatal restrictions? But it is a good amendment. And that is why all the corporations are fighting it. They want to scare you into re- jeeting this good amendment, and then prevent the submission of another for years to come, or else fix up one for you to vote On which will not be workable and worse than none at all.
 This amendment is workable and give the people a chance.
 The joker behind the joker is to get it back into the hands of the tinkerers and spoil it forever. Geo. Judson King.

A True Story.

The hardest work and poorest pay usually go together. The big brawny hireling works for $l a day and is sworn at. The quiet man in the office draws a hand some salary and is treated like a prince.
 One works hard, lives hard and grows old before his time, and goes down to his grave unhonored and unsung. The other lives on the fat of the land, and when he is gone, monuments are built to his memory. What makes the differ ence? One places muscles on the market, and the other brains.
 We make a speciality of prepar- ing young people to put brains on the market instead of muscles. This is not only our specially. it is our life work our delight to train young people to earn $500 where they could not earn $1, and place them in positions where they are in line for promotion. Our success is shown by the success of our many graduates, who go from school into the most difficult posi- tions with Railroads, Banks, Whole sale Houses, U. s. Civil Service, etc.
 If you desire to better prepare yourself for the duties or oppor- tunities of life, write us for infor- nation regarding ouh courses in SHORTHAND, BOOKKEEPING and TELEGRAPHY.

 Imports Of Luxurics.

Two hundred and fifty million dollars worth of articles classed as luxuries were imported into the United States during the fiscal year 1910, that total exceeding by more than twenty-five million dollars the figures of 1907, the former high record year and being actually more than double those of 1900, according to statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor. Diamonds, jewelry, laces and embroidery, furs, feathers, beads, perfumery, cigars, tobacco, wines, liquors and automobiles, constituted the principal luxuries in the list, though in another group were decorated china and bisque, musical instruments, toys, orchids, palms, etc.

 dispute arose between the French and English settlers as to the supe- riority of the United States over the Canadian provinces. They. finally agreed to leave the decision to Judge Pierre, who handed down this deci- sion:

It is now reported that the Arkansas Diamond com pany has recently sold a large share of it's interests to English capitalists associated with the South African companies, and that modern machinery is already on the way.
 It becomes evident to the casual visitor that the four companies owning the pipes in the Pike county diamond fields, are not ex- aggerating their prospects or pos abilities in the printed matter they are circulating, but rather are they conservatively stated; for statistics of the present fiscal year show the United States by far the best market for the African mines with imports tions of the cut and rough stones, amounting to thirty eight million dollars.-From The Awakening of Arkansas in the National Magazine for September.

WILL BE A BLAZE or GLORY.
Hot Springs To Be Gayly Decorated During
 the State Fair.

The city of Hot Springs is pre- pairing a scheme of street decera- tions for the week of the State Fair, Oct. 1O-15, that will eclipse anything ever attempted in this section of the country. Expert artists from New York have been employed to put the specifications into effect. For six days and nights the city will present the ap- pearance of Coney Island on it's most gala occasions.
 In order to accomodate the thousands of visitors who will at tend the fair, the immense and palatial hotels, some of which are ordinarily closed at that time of the year, are preparing to keep open house and to be equipped with full force of employees.
 The fact that Ex-president Roosevelt and numerous other notable public men will attend the fair assures an attendance various ly estimated at from thirty to fifty thousand per day. The Fair as sociation urges visitors to come to Hot Springs, if possible, prior to the opening day of the big show, as this will tend to prevent congestion of traffic on the railroads. The transportation companies, however, have obligated themselves to pro- vide equipment to handle the tre- mendous volume of traffic.
 Twenty seven leading citizens, professional and business men, of Hot Springs have been appointed to partially constitute the reeep- tion committee, which will enter tain and look after the comfort of Col. Roosevelt and other dis tinguished guests of the state fair. The reception is disigned to be one of the greatest functions in the history of the South.
 The state fair association has also forwarded an invitation to the hero of Manila Bay to be it's guest. The invitation has been supple mented by Gov. Geo. W. Donaghey and others.
 Every possible precautlon IS be- ing taken to have all arrangements made. perfect for the accommo- dation of visitors. Among other things it is proposed to oil the highway between the city and Oaklawn, the fair grounds. Street cars will run direct into the grounds and freight shipments will be delivered at Oaklawn over spur track of the Iron Mountain.

 that the world Is not made of look ing glass, to show us just the figure we are making, and just what is going on behind our backs!

Many Diamond Deposits in Arkansas.

The theory of R. D. Duncan. president of the Ozark diamond mines. is that other volcanic pipes than the three already discovered are not only possible but very prob able. In the South African fields. several pipes are in existence. some separated from others by hundreds of miles. In conse- quence of this theory. Mir. Duncan, for his company, has secured op- tions on a very large amount of land in Pike and Hampstead coun- ties. and so will be able to purchase any proven diamond bearing lands at very low prices any time during the next fifteen years.
 The diamond mines of Pike county are genuine beyond ques- tion: and the mineral matter of the pipes identical with the African mines, but how richly bearing these mines may be is a matter which can only be answered by develop ment work. That diamonds have been found on all of the pipes is sufficient to prove that they are diamond bearing. The quality, color, size and brIllianoy are all of
