THE DOWNFALL OF PINcHoT

Pinchot is guilty in the first de-
gree of pernicious activity on be-
half OF the common people of to-
day and the Common people of
future generations. Had he been
of the reactionary stripe; had he
bent the supple nee to the Inter
ests' which desire to grab public
lands; had he helped give away TO
inscriptions operations the
property of the people, he might
still be adjoining the Office of
Chief Forester. He might be "A
shining light of the Administra-
ton, petted, adulated and-white-
washed. But Pinchot is the type
of public servant of whom there
have been too few in this country.
In England it is common to see
young men of means 90 into the
government service. not because Of
the salary. not because of graft,
but because they feel that they
can be of some use to their coun.
try. Pinchot represents that class
of public men, The salary of the
job was of no interest to him. He
spent annually out of his own
pocket three times what the gov
eminent paid, in order to perfect
the Forestry Service. He was an
enthusiast enthusiast on be-
half of the people and on behalf of
the peoples forests. He was ami
mated by the purest and most
patriotic motives.-The Cincin-
matt Post.
