Col. Roosevelt is as popular in defeat
as in victory. No such other extr aor-
binary character lives. His enemies,
and other partisans, might magnify his
sins of commission, but there are none
of omission, anyway. A true. red
blooded American, thinker and doer,
Roosevelt's name will continue to live
in history, though ages after many
names thought to be more illustrious
will have been smoothed away by the
hand of time.

under the peculiar circumstances
existing was one of the most difficult to
eradicate. It il gratifying to note,
however, that it has been thoroughly
accomplished.
Commissioner Jones first steps was
to search for an expert timberman
whose character for honesty was above
suspicion. He found such man in
the person of Joseph II. Farr of
Phillips. Mr.. Farr unearthed many
frauds which had been perpetrated by
several strong combinations of inhuen
tial men, and upon his report and re-
commentator the commissioner forced
them to pay many thousands Of dollars
into the federal treasury.
Anothers great abuse in Indian pine
land matters was the combination of
loggers in making bids for logs. This
was a di fficult matter to obviate, but it
has been done. Where a combination
has been made and the bid was lower
than market value the commissioner
refused to contract under the reserva-
ton by the government to reject any
and all bids below the existing market
values. Mr., Fairs expert knowledge
and unquestioned integrity has served
the commissioner well and enabled him
to save the government several hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. This
work was accomplished quietly, with
no blowing Of trumpets or claims that
it was an iota more than an official
duty, by man possessing the highest
ideals of Il public servant.
Mr.. Jones Is native of Wales
has coming to Wisconsin, where he
since resided, In 1851. He served
in the legislatures of 1905. and 1897 and
for several years was member Of the
board of university regents. President
Roosevelt has expressed great regret al
his retirement.
