Surprise in Washington

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Announce
ment that the province of Quebec
would prohibit the expectation of puip
wood from that province to the United
States was received here with surprise
and regret.
The result of such summary action
as is proposed, it is felt, would be to
interfere seriously with the realization
of the suggested trade treaty and
might in a measure nullify the good
accomplished by the closer friendly re-
lations into which the governments of
the United States and the dominion of
Canada have recently been brought.
The prohibition is regarded in some
quarters as approaching an unfriendlv
act.
However the amount of pulp wood
coming from the Quebec crown lands
is not considerable. Last year the to-
tai importation of the United States
from Quebec was 100000 cords, of
which 10000 were cut from crown
lands

The country through which Colonel
Roosevelt and his son passed today. on
the road from Porto Maurizio to Venice,
was pleasing to the eye, and the jour-
ney. of itself delightful, was made
doubly enjoyable by the welcome which
the former president received at every
step.
At all the stations crowds cheered,
and little knots of Americans pressed
forward to greet Roosevelt and shake
him by the hand Many of them reiter-
ated the exclamation: You must be our
president again"
To this Roosevelt made no reply, but
he had pleasant word for ALL

The mayor has placarded the town
with a proclamation thanking the dis

referring to him in the most compli-
mentary terms. Throughout the streets
flaming posters bore the message:

The prefect of police and the city
fathers escorted Roosevelt's carriage to
the railway station, where a battalion
of infantry, headed by a band, was
drawn up and stood at salute as Roose-
Welt stepped from the carriage and en-
tered the car.
The band played The Star Spangled
Banner" and the crowd shouted Long
live Roosevelt
James D. Phelan of San Francisco
had a long interview with Roosevelt
here. Later Phelan said that they dis
cussed the defeat of Francis j. Heney
for district attorney of San Francisco
last fall "as an instance of the bad
effect of railroad control of politics.
Through Phelan Roosevelt extended
an invitation to Heney to visit him

When Taft kicked CLAWS out of
office for taking prominent part in
defending untold millions of public
property from gang of robbers. he
may have imagined that CLAWS could
be thrown down and Quieted as easily
as though he were Zulu chief. But
that was where Taft made his mis-.
take. His orientalized notions OF
government will not work in a land
of the free and home of the
brave. CLAWS was as brave as he
was honest. and he is only one OF
number of brave and honest mer
who have saved for public use the
great coal fields of Alaska.
Taft may have been imposed upor
by Ballinger, but to be imposed up
on by anyone in matter of sucl
far reaching public Importance is b,
no means creditable either to hi.
