! The democrats OF Idaho seem
to be muddling things up, too.
They condemn the last three
national administrations as
having retarded the develop.
ment OF Idaho resources with
the conservation policy. Gov
ernor Hawley said at CGur d.
Alene that "the conservation
policy was creating monopo,ies
for those who happened to
acquire lands prior to the with.
drawals." But he did not ex-
plain how the parties who enjoy
these monopolies could have
made bigger monopolies OF them
by acquiring all the rest OF the
lands ii the rest of the lands had
not been withdrawn for national
forests when they were, thus
saving the remaining timber
resources OF the state from pri
waite exploitation and the en-
richment OF the lumber barons.

is still minor the old trustees hold

Colonel Astor allowed each of them
$4,000 for their services as executors

the three trusteeships created for Mrs.
Aston. Muriel Astor and his expected
pOsthumous child. This brings the in

pRE-CONVEN7I0y FIGURES
New York Table Gives Standing
Of Delegates to Chicago. .

f.f f y s-9h' siHttt
The table compiled by the New
York Tribune, June 2, shows the
standing of the delegates to the re.
publican national convention as fol.
lows:
Roosevelt 1854, and Taft 43yA, not
counting is delegates uncommitted
and "a delegates seriously contested.
Since June 2, Roosevelt has secured
] 0 more delegates-those from South
Dakota--making his total on the
Tribune's tabulation 1854; and Taft.
has secured the 6 Ohio delegates at
large, raising his total tn 44l2, or SO
less than enough to nominate. AIS !;
The New York paper explains that
in its table ll2 contested delegates
are given to Taft and 10 to Roosevelt,
in nearly all these cases the grounds
OF contest appearing to be trivial. \
According to these figures Taft
mus still get al! OF the 81 seriously
contcs ed delegates aud four OF the l8
uncommitted delegates Ia order TO
have the $40 necessary to nominate.

danger OF being thrown aside if
it is not placed in the hands OF
someone who will use it to carry
out the popular will. Roosevelt

not get such a man at the head
OF their government through

AN attack on the national
conservation policy may be
meant as a hit against the re-
publican party forpoli'ical gain,
but it is really an attack on the
interests of the people because it
was I he corporate interests and
the representatives of the COR
porate interests, republicans and
democrats, alike, that fought
the conservation policy the
hardest in the beginning and
are fighting it now.

To all present appearances the
outcome OF the republican
national convention hinges on
thu decision of the contests
pending before the national
committee. All those friends of
President Taft who insist that
all his delegates should be seated
and that he should be nominal.
ed and who have been villifying
the Roosevelt people for filing SO
many contests and for question
ing the right Of President Taft
to IA denomination, should pause
and reflect. Ii renominated, Taft
will be defeated at the polls in
November. Most of his delegates
have been hand.picked and do
not represent the sentiment OF
the states from which they were
chosen. Many OF them, in fact
enough to hold the balance OF
power in the convention, are
from states in the south which
always go democratic ut the
general elections. These same
southern states, under a repre-
hensible convention system have.
a representation in the national
convention out of all proportion
TO the republican voters in them
as compared with the number of
republican voters in strongly
republican northern states.
Most OF the delegates chosen for
Taft were not elected in primar-
les in which the people could
express their preference, and so
cannot be considered as repre-
senting the rrile of the people.
On the other liand most OF the
strongly republican states, es-
pecially those having preference
primary laws giving the people
a voice in the matter, have re-
pudiated Taft. This is plain to
everyone who has watched the
recent elections. The cry has
been raised tha't to repudiate

CHAPTER V.
FRECKLEs FACES TROUBLE.

FACES
~0OMING from a long day on the
trail, Freckles saw Duncan's
children awaiting him much
~ closer the sWale than they
usually ventured, and from their wild
gestures he knew that something had
happened. He broke into a run, but
the cry that reached him was. "The
books have come"
They found books on birds, trees,
flowers, moths and butterflies. There
was also one containing Freckles'
bullfrog, true to life. And besides
these were a butterfly net, a natural
lists tin specimen box, a bottle of
gasoline, a box Of cotton, a paper of
long steel specimen pins and a letter
telling what all these things we're and
how to use them.
At the discovery Of each new treas
ure Freckles shouted, "Will you be
looking at this nowv!'
Mrs. Duncan cried, "Weel, I be
drawed on"
When Freckles started for the trail
next morning the shining new speci-
men box flashed on his back. The
black "%chicken." a mere speck in the
blue, caught the CLEAN of it and won
dered what it was. The folded net
hung by the boys Ratchet. and the
bird book was in the box. He walked
the line and tested each section scrupu-
lousy, watching every foot Of the trail,
for ho woo 1otnrnoinn1 not RI c1iOht hic
work. But if ever a boy made haste
slowly" in q hurry it was Freckles that
morning. When at last he reached the
space he had cleared out and fitted up
around his case his heart swelled with
the pride Of possessing even so much
that he could call his own.
He had made a large room with the
door Of the case set even with one side
Of it. On three sides fine big bushes
of wild rose climbed to the lower
branches of the trees. Part Of his
walls were mallow, part alder. thorn,
willow and dogwood. Below there
filled in a solid mass Of pale pink sheep
laurel and yellow st. Johns wort,
while the amber threads of the dodder
1nterl2ced everywhere. At n side
the swamp came close and cattails
grew in %profusion. In front Of them
he had planted a row Of water hya-
cinths without disturbing in the least
the state Of their azure bloom. and
where the ground rose higher for Lis
floor a row of foxtre that would loon
be open.
To the left be had discovered a queer
natural arrangement of the trees that
grew to giant size and were set in a
gradually narrowing space so that a
long. open VISTA stretched away until
lost in the dim recesses OF the swamp.
A little trimming back of underbush
rolling out Of dead logs. leveling of
floor and carpeting Of moss, made 1t
easy to understand why Freckles had
named this the cathedral" yet he had
never been taught that 1.-The groves

for I'm itchin' like death to git me

He danced up and. as Wessner
lunged out in self defense. ducked un-
der bis arm like a bantam and
punched him in the pit Of the stomach.
so hat he doubled up with a groan.
Before Wessner could straighten him
self Freckles was on him. fighting like
the widest fury. The Dutchman dealt
laundering blows that sometimes
landed and sent Freckles reeling and
sometimes missed. while he went
plunging into the Swale with the i'm

he could land three blows to Wessner's

Of alert watching on the line, the per-
petual swinging of the heavy cudgel
and the endurance of all weather stood
him in good stead, for he was as tough
as a pine knot and as agile as a panther.
He danced. ducked and lodged. For
the first five minutes he endured fear
full punishment. Then Wessner's
breath commenced to whistle between
his teeth. when Freckles had only just
begun fighting. He, sprang back with
shrill laughter.
"RegolIy, and will your honor be
