roosevelt a Feminine Character :

The February issue of the Forum
has made the statement that ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is feminine manor,
to use the words of the writer. HAS a
feminine type of mind" But 1t is
carefully brought out that the word
feminine does not mean effeminate.
The author goes on to describe the
feminine type of mind" as the ability
to see only one thing at time and to
be predominated by one all prevailing
motive. He says that women do not
take into consideration all conse-
quences, but just see the desired thing
to be accomplished. Wearing mental
binders" so to speak. and never shy
ing at a single thing by the way, but
going straig as line toward the
single goal.
Now, supposing that said writer
really knows how women think, also
granting that he really knows how any
one thinks, what has ne proved? The
habit of seeing one thing at time and
one goal at time is so common, that
IN reality it can be ascribed to most
people of both sexes who make sue
cess OF profession or business. The
history of popular government proves
that it's leaders are men Of single prin-
ciples and bend everything toward the
accomplishment of such.
Now. IL this peculiar method OF
thinking is feminine, which must
mean that the majority of women
think that way, It looks as though the
writer had proved too much. Most men
think that way. too. so 1t must be that
he intends TO make US all feminine. II
looks as though the author had side.

Honor of the Navy.

The court-martial in session at Bos-
ton may appear to be investigating a
tempest in a teapot, but 1t is really
charged with a most important duty.
Not only will the question of how far
man may go in the direction OF visit
ing the displeasure of his fiancee on
its object, and what form his monitory
action may assume, but 1t will also
settle much vexed question as to who
is charged with the care and keeping
of the honor of the navy The dual
nature of the inquiry and the social
smoke it has engendered have in a
measure obscured the real issue, but
from this distance the fact seems plain
enough. .5
In the first place, has a paymaster,
who is not a graduate of the Naval
academy, the right to assume that in
his own person he represents the
naval set" and, acting under that
assumption, has he the further right
to insist on an invited guest absenting
ullubSlI lIOLu a Ddll BlNOh ny IuC SSli
and is he justified IN punching the
head of the guest in question when the
latter ventures to demur at the assump-
tion of responsibility. This weighty
question turks behind a tremendous
volume of testimony adduced at the
hearings 1t has resounded from Maine
to Texas and from Puget sound to the
wave kissed sands of Palm Beach, from
Saskatchewan to Panama, all ears are
strained to catch the answer. The
secretary of the navy declined, wisely,
to accede to the hushing up of the af-
fair, and at least one of the senator's
of the United States has lent his influ-
ence to the bringing about of a possible
solution.
When it is settled whether a pay
master has the right to punch the head
of visiting sawbones, and whether a
surgeon of the navy has right to ques-
tion the conduct of a fellow practi-
toner who does not happen to be
connected with the sea a-going establish
ment, the old world Will settle back
squarely on it's gudgeons and revolve
as usual. Till this is determined,
though, do not wonder that the uni
verse is slightly askew.

Grand Jury Instructions.

In view of the fact that the local
grand jury is to begin it's sittings next
week various suggestions are being
made as to the subjects of investiga-
tlon which should be included in the
judges instructions. Some of the ad-
vice volunteered indicates clearly that
those rendering it do not understand
the functions of a grand jury and do
no, know the scope of the judicial in
structions.
The grand fury is body OF inouisi-
tors, constituted by law, with full
power to bring in true bills against
offenders where there is sufficient evil
dence of guilt to warrant prosecution.
The grand jury Is not a general smell
ing committee to poke into peoples
private affairs where there is no sus-
picion of law-breaking. Conspiracy is
prohibited by law and people who con-
spire to throttle competition or raise
prices are indictable, but business men
attending to their own concerns in a
lawful way dl6 hOb bubJSCl W bIhuu
jury surveillance.
The grand jury receives instructions
from the Judge as to any unusual mat
ters that SAVIOR of lswlessness by com
mon notoriety and the Judge is like
wise required by statute to direct at
tention to certain particular classes Of
offenses. But whether the judge does
or does not give specific instructions
to inquire into any matter properly
within its jurisdiction, that cannot pre-
vent the grand jury from acting on It's
own information, or information
brought to its notice by private
citizens
Instructing a grand jury gives a
Judge great opportunity for playing to
the galleries and raising dust to make
people believe terrible things are hap
pening and being Carefully covered up
when nothing but the ordinary run Of
petty crime has occurred We have
had altogether too much Of that in the
past, and there is no crying demand
for another installment.

Timber Waste.

In a recent meeting of the Tristate
Lumber Dealers association, made up
by dealers in the states Of Kentucky,
Indiana and Illinois. a vigorous protest
was made against the wanton waste of
lumber in the country. The associa-
ton went on record unanimously for
unifcri. state laws in favor of the con
servatiO.. Of the forests. One of the
members characterized the waste Of
timber as THE crime of the age"
Among other things said at the meet
ing was the following:
How long will this thing go ou7 often
drive out from my house at Hopkinsviile,
KY, and see where farmers have destroyed
trees and 1t seems like a crime TO me.
Many valuable trees have been killed just
because the farmers wanted to cultivate
the land. No thought, 1t seems, has been
made OF the forests. In France they began
to plant and cultivate trees over 100 years
ago Recently at Clarksvllie. Tenn, a large
manufacturing company built a barb wire
fence about a farmers land In order to
get the old rail fence that encircled IL. The
fence was made Of walnut rails. In Florida
today pine lumber is used as fuel In the
engines on the railroads A great deal of
timber is destroyed in this way. Many
valuable trees are also killed in the turpen-
tine belts just for the purpose OF getting
the turpentine. Here Is a chance for Taft
and Balllnger TO take hand and make
themselves immortal
When lumbermen agree on the point
of conservation of timber and the for
ests, the country has reason to feel a
sense of hope. But, really, have the
lumbermen a right to complain of the
waste of timber on the part of the
farmer? Has the farmer wasted as
much timber without thought OF re.
planting as the lumberman, has? 1t is
a good thing to take up, and no matter
who brings the topic up, 1t ought to
be made subject for wide discussion,
We are beginning to feel pinched in
the matter Of timber and the pinch is
tightening.
The words of Clifford Pinchot
come back and one is compelled tc
think of the work he has done for the
preservation OF the forests. But mis-
recent plea for the united action OF
congressman and senators for the
enactment of the bill calling for the
withdrawal of all public lands suitable
for planting forests is practical effort
along this right line.
The American people are so busy
making money that they seldom stoT
to think of conserving or preserving
anything, much less that which will
require years for conversion into cash
But there is plenty of time to prevent
much more denuding of the country Of
it's forests and the government is busy
Let others get busy also.

The city clerk at Lincoln refuses to
recognize the validity of petition for
the resubmission of the question, wet
or Dry?" because each signer of the
petition did not write after his street
address the words, Lincoln, Ne
braska." This Official who, of course,
wants to keep the town dry. has doubt
less persuaded himself that this is the
proper course and his action is typical
Of the ridiculous extremes to which
one-idea folks sometimes go. Just
suppose Lincoln were wet instead OF
dry, and it was the drys instead of the

PICTURES OF MEMORY.

ALICE CAREY.
Among the beautiful pictures
That hang on memory's wall,
Is one of a dim old forest, .a
That seemeth best OF all.
Not for its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the mistletoe;
Not for the violets golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk-whlte lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
Coquetting all day with the sunbeams,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not FOR the vines on the uplandsf'
Where the bright red berries rest
Nor the pinks,. nor the pale, sweet cowsli
1t seemeth to me the best. ~,
I once had little brother
With eyes that were dark and deep--
In the lap of that dim old forest
He lleth in peace asleep.
Light as the down OF the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow, E
We roved there the beautiful summers
The summers of long ago.
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And one of the autumn ewes s,,
l made for my little brother
bed Of yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
My neck in a meek embrace, tts
AS the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And when the arrows of sunset
Lodged In the tree-tops bright,
He fell in his saint-like beauty
Asleep by the gates Of light
Therefore OF all the pictures
That hang on memory's wall, ,g
The one of the dim old forest
Seemeth the best of all.

importation of Farm Produce.

When one reads that during the last
year farm produce to the amount of
$647, 900, 200, or almost half the total
imports of the year 1903, was brought
into the United States from outside
countries, 1t suggests that our farmers
are not doing their full duty. But a
closer inspection relieves the appre-
hension. The imported articles are of
nature that have not. yet been pro-
duced in America in sufficient guam
titles to supply the demand for con-
sumption. Sugar leads, with tobacco
second. Hides and skins and hay are
the other articles that really enter into
competition with the home grown, and
these constitute rather more-than half
the total of farm produce imported. OF
the articles that are nOtsproduoed at
home, and which do not compete with
the output of the American farms, silk,
coffee, tea, sisal, manila fiber and
Egyptian cotton make up the list. The
United States is still the best market
in the world for this sort Of produce,
and will remain so as long as the pros
perity Of the people is such that they
can maintain the standard of living
now set. In the report is nothing
alarming, for over against it is set the
figures of the $4,000. 100000 output
of the farms for 1909, and the present
promise that the coming season will

EVILS OF COLD STORAGE.
Methods of Suspending Law of supply
and Demand.
Philadelphla Record.


Philadelphia Record.
Cold storage properly employed, fur
nishes a means Of conservation and the
prevention OF waste that should inure to
the general benefit. Ia practice it has been
made to serve as a means of maintaining
higher prices In tho season of plenty and
Of intolerable prices in the season Of lesser
supply. When prices are naturally declin-
ing they are checked, to be afterward
pushed to unnatural limits as opportunity
is created by squeezing the market through
combination of cold storage spectators
This is perhaps the most fragrant oc7
casien of the intrusion of the middleman
between producer and consumer with the
object Of despoiling BOTH The worst part
of the matter grows out OF the difficulty
encountered In devising any change or
remedy which shall preserve the benefit
of cold storage while defeating Its evil
working. The most feasible suggestion is
to regulate the time of storage so as to
prevent deterioration, and to enforce due
publicity in order that the purchaser may
know what he is getting
