That was pretty good way of
squelching legal opinion, as
illustrated in the case of Clifford
Pinchot, the United States For
ester, at the recent Seventeenth
National Irrigation Congress at
Spokane. i"' %
Ex-Judge Campbell of the De-
partment of Justice, sitting be-
side Mr.. Pinchot at a press ban
quet, made a long harangue up
on the illegality of the forestry
Service, and then a personal at
tack upon Pinchot. When he
was through, Mr.. Pinchot, smil-
ing as usual, told a single story
which effectually closed the cpl
sode. 1t reminded him, he said

of the Irishman who fell, from a
high building on which he was
working. AS he lay on his back
with his eyes shut, his palms
open upward, the doctor came
and looked at him.

MAKES PLEA FOR BEVERIDGE
Roosevelt PIunees Into Indiana Cam
paien and Tells People Why SEN
ator Should BE Returned.

Indianapolis, Ind.-Theodore Roose-
velt plunged into the Indiana cam
paign Thursday with trip across the
state, in which he made vigorous
plea for votes to send United States
Senator Albert j. Beveridge back to
the senate.
The last speech of the day from the
balcony of the Hotel English here was
delivered before a crowd Of $4,000
people.
From the time the colonel got on the
back platform of his private car at
Covington, just across the border line
from Illinois, until he left Indianapolis
he urged the throngs to elect the
whole Republican state ticket so that
a legislature would be put in that
would support Beveridge.
The ex-president went to the utmost
liimt in indorsing Beveridge. He gave
him credit for having initiated the
fight against the beef trust that re-
suited in the passage Of the pure rood
law. Without the amendments put in
that bill by Senator Beveridge, the col
onel insisted, there never would have
been any pure food legislation passed
that was worth anything.
