carrying out the platform pledges

POLITICAL.

Indications continue to multiply that
President Taft's participation in the
New York state fight is ended for good.
The President is not resident of New
York and does not feel it to be the
province of the President to interfere
in local politics.
Theodore Roosevelt, travelling across
Ohio and Indiana, was greeted every
where by enthusiastic crowds to whom
he talked of honesty, respect and cor
rorations.
James 4. Garfield. secretary of the
interior under Roosevelt, has left his
Mentor, Ohio. home, for speaking
tour OF the West, during which he will
ally himself with Roosevelt and Pin
chot in the discussion of Progressive
Republicanism and conservation of the
national resources
The political attention of the coun-
try gradually is being focused on New
England. where, early in September,
the first measuring of strength be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
parties in the state elections of 1910 is
to take place. Vermont on Sept.
and Maine on Sept. 12 will select state
officers and Congressman.
AS being chiefly valuable for agri-
cultural purposes, President Taft,
since the beginning of his administra-
ton, has practically eliminated from
the national forests 3,O59,237 acres OF
land and has restored as being more
favorable for forestry than for agricul-
tural purposes 1.324,213 acres. This
r. presents loss to the. forests of L.
735,O24 acres.
President Taft in a communication
to the Republican congressional COM
mittee says that differences between
Republicans should be forgotten in the
congressional election, and that "Re-
publicans who believe in the party
principles as declared in its national
platform of 1908 should give the can
didates loyal and effective support. If
! his is done there will be no doubt OF
q return of Republican matority."
