IOWA OPINIONS AID NOTES.

IF Mr.. Roosevelt takes any hand
in politics pending the next national
campaign it will not be by way OF
criticism of the administration; that
may be taken for granted" predicts
the Des Moines Register and Leader
1T will be by an affirmative attitude
towards the Roosevelt policies" which
the administration is committed to and
such a throwing of weight into the
balance of public opinion as will put
all the emphasis on the radical and
aggressive side. 1t will be also by
such direct personal pressure upon
the powers that be that the admin
istration will be forced imperceptibly
onto a Roosevelt platform"

Wisconsin Will Renew Its Forests.

Mad1sOn.-The state of Wisconsin
is greatly interested in the general
subject Of conservation, but the men
In charge of the state government
have an idea that it is largely a ques-
ton which states must work out for
themselves. No state in the union
has made more progress with the
conservation of its forests. The state
board of forestry is only about five
years old, but in that time has done
a vast amount of work.
The states forest reserves now
aggregate a total of about 100000
acres-an area surpassed only by
those of New York and Pennsylvania
In general way the state is follow
ing the plan of the United States gov
eminent in its western reclamation
scheme. At the outset all the state
public land was turned over to the
forestry board. This land was widely
scattered
As rapidly as the scattered area can
be sold, new land is being purchased
in the lake and upper river territory
The plan is to have all the forest re-
serves in the lake and upper river
regions as far as possible. Four
years ago, through the efforts Of Sen
ator La Toilette, the United States
gave the state twenty thousand acres
of federal land to be added to the
state forest reserve.
Congress willingly voted to turn
this public land over to-the state after
Senator La Toilette made it clear
that it was a matter of national rather
than state Importance.

Other Events Are on the
Program.

Mexico City. September will
be one continuous holiday through
out the republic of Mexico, as the
inhabitants of this country have
set aside the month to celebrate the
centennial of their independence. Just
100 years ago Father Miguel Hidal-
go, Mexicos first and greatest cham
pion of liberty, organized the revolt
against the mother country which Ill
timateIy resulted in Mexico's freedom
and the death OF that brave patriot,
and the promoters Of the centennial
have planned some event for every
day in the month to honor the brave
men who died in the cause of lib
erty.
The United States is represented
by a special ambassador, former Gov.
Curtis Guild of Massachusetts. and a
commission composed of Harrison
Grey Otis of Los Angeles, Alexander
Rock of Pittsburg and Justice Gerard
of the supreme court of New York.
Contrary to the policy of most ex-
positions, no money has been invested
in temporary buildings, but the funds
have been used in making permanent
improvements throughout the repub-
lie. The celebration was formally
opened by President Diaz

One Of the biggest days in the cele-
bration will be September 16. 1t was

the home of Father Hidalgo in Do.

Maiden GaFIands.

At Minsterley, in Shropshire, Eng
land, in the quaint little seventeenth
century church, are preserved seven
Maiden Garlands," said to be by far
the largest and best-preserved col
lection in England The tradition con-
corning them is, says a writer IN
Country Life" that when a maiden
whose betrothed had died was herself
carried, still unwed, to the grave, one
of these crowns of garlands was
borne before her coffin by the village
girls. The date of the earliest speci-
men in Ministerley church is 1926,
and the la'sst 1894. When the funer-
al was over, the wreath was hung up
in the church, over the place the
maiden had been wont to occupy. to
commemorate her constancy. The
framework of the wreaths is adorned
with frills of what was once white
paper, and in the center is a repre-
sentation of pair of gloves, also in

Consumption Claims 4,479.

The ravages of consumption in In
diana during 1909, according to a chart
prepared by Doctor King of the state
board of health, resulted in 4479
deaths. Homes numbering 1856 were
invaded by consumption during the
year. The homes broken up by the
loss Of father or a mother numbered
2,180. There were 1886 mothers be-
tween eighteen and forty years old
who died of the disease and 998 ia

ing so-called vaudeville" features at
county fairs in Wisconsin, Secretary
of State Frear sent to the secretaries
of the various agricultural associa-
lions report blanks which contain a
warning that there is penalty in

These reports form the basis for the
state aid, so per cent. of the bona fde
totals of premiums upon agricultural

as such has shown in numerous in
stances that he is very hostile toward
union men, for whenever union ma
chinists would succeed to obtain en-
ployment in his machine shop, and
it became known that they belonged
to their trade union. their term of
employment therefore was of short
duration. Not only is this true as to
the union machinists. but he has
shown the same unfriendly attitude
toward the members of the building
trade unions, as all the work in the
erection and construction of his Ia"ge
plant has and is now being done by
nonunion men, and all efforts made
to give union men some consideration
have failed: therefore, be it
Resolved, By the executive board,
of the Wisconsin State Federation of
Labor, that we deem it our duty tC
inform the trade unions and the
members, friends and sympathizers
Of the state as to the unfriendly and
hostile attitude of Mr. William NJ
Lewis of Racine, Wis, and what as
sistance and protection that organized
labor can expect from him in case
he is successful in obtaining the
nomination and if elected as gov
ernor of the state of Wisconsin.

for the prosperity and upbuilding of

Opportunity of 3uffraqist.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one
of the magazines how the women Of
Finland came to vote. The fact is
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when a
crisis, such as that in 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
in Russia took place at the same time,
occurred, they proved they could
make peace by doing it. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.

on a lower scale than during the pre-

counterbalanced by the falling off in

Incendiaries were classified as to
their character and motives by State
Fire Marshal Purtell, in an address
here before the meeting of the Wis
consin Paid Ffremen's association, as
follows:
l. The man who burns to get in
surance.
2. The man who sets fire for re-
Venge.
8. The criminal who sets fire to
hide some other crime.
4. The pyromaniac.
5. The mischievous boy.
For the last two classes, Mr.. PurteIl
expressed sympathy, declaring that in
the case of the pyromaniac, he is ami
mated simply by an insane propensi-
ty, for which ne is not responsible,
and in the case Of the boy, the motive
is to him a harmless one.
THE other three classes are the
states and organized society's worst
enemies, and they deserve no quar-
ter" declared the fire marshal. Your
energies and ours must be bent to
detect and punish them"
The most detestabIe of all, he added,
is the man who burns to get in
surance money, and the criminal fire
setter also cannot be convicted east

to the indisposition of juries to con-
