COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 2O.--Coinci.
dent with the opening of the demo.
cratic campaign In Ohio today, Wilson
gave his hearty approval to the for
nation In New York of a Wilson Ma.
tional Progressive Republican League.
| The governor and Rudalph S%preckles,
now in New York in charge OF the

kilograms made public today by the
nominee.
New York, Governor Woodrow
Wilson, Columbus, Ohio. Eastern
headquarters of the Wilson National

today opened in the Metropolitan
Building In New York. Our league
was founded by Progressive republi.
cans who hope to save the progress.
sive movement that was started some
years ago in the republican party,
but which Is now being betrayed by
the organization of Col. R~oosevelts

tons you alone deserve the support
of the true prOgressives who place
principals above partisanship. Our
membership is wholly republican, but
we feel justified in voting and work.
ing for your election since the can
didate' of the republican party does
not represent the progressive major

To, which Wilson replied:
columbus, O., "Your telegram tell
ing me of the formation of the Wilson

League gave me the deepest gratifica-

seems to me truly patriotic. The
progressive forces OF the nation ought
not to be divided. No mere attach

to me one Of the most reassuring in

The very wealthy as we'll az the man

closed today to give the pupils the
advantage Of Bismarck Day" at the
Mandan fail, but the elements seem
determined this year to prevent Bis.

clemency. of the weather today kept
many in doubt as to whether or not
there would be any program today,
and as a consequence many people
refrained from going over.

MlTTEE.

ton OF presidential campaign funds
the Washington Star says that 1t Is
stated that the Clapp investigating
committee Will call Ormsby McHarg
before II to explain those famous
southern contests affecting represent
alton at the Chicago republican con-
v%ention, which, by the admission OF
Roosevelians themselves, were in
many cases fraudulent. They were
not sincere. They were not intended
to stick. Euphemistically expressed,
they were brought for psychological
Effects" Expressed in the terms OF
everyday speech, they were brought
to aid under false p%retenses efforts
to obtain delegates for Mr.. Roosevelt
elsewhere-in the east and in the
west-and in all probability they con.
tgibuted to that end.
The trick violated no statute and
some have excused II on the score OF
"polltics.' "They all do it." We are
told.
The Rooseveltians, II Is true. did
not originate the trick. but it was
particularly re~prehensible in them be-
cause Of their Snug and s~ky.scraplng
%pretentions to virtue. They were ad-
vertlsing themselves as the would.be
rescuers Of the country from crooked
politics. They were asking for the
dethronement OF machine politicians,
and yet ut the very time engaged
themselves In this manner In politics
as crooked as n rams horn.
The cost of the trick in dollars and
cents may not have been great as
campaign expenses In presidential
years are reckoned, but every penny
was employed in an endeavor to per
petrate q wrong, and those respons-
ible for the trick, or engaged in any
way In forwarding it, should be qhes.
toned by the Clapp committee. Who
suggested the maneuver? Who help.
ed execute it? What did the maneu.
e cost, and who put up the money?
Mr.. McIIarg should be able to answer
these questions, and should be dis.
posed to do SO.
Tho trick did not succeed. but it
was intended to succeed, and although
the contests were brought in fraud.
Mr.. Roosevelt's friends would have
put them through the convention II
they had been able, and he would
have accepted a nomination based
upon them.
And yet Mr.. Roosevelt, though
smeared all over with this pitch, is
still bowling that he was robbed at
Chicago. That he was advised OF what
was in hand for his benefit is as fair
an inference as that William Lorimer
was up" to what was going on at
Springfield in the senatorial contest
in his behalf. Both are practical
men and have worked with and
through bosses and psychologists
in politics all their political days. Mr..
McEIatg has information which the
C.app. committee should not fail to
secure.

fertile areas now under cultivation
and III pasture. Annua, burning
destroys what grows from year to
year. and thus poor soil is made
poorer instead Of growing richer
as it would if not molested.
This is a much more serious
matter than commonly supposed.
The trees respond to the fertility
Of the land and grow according
to it. i the vegetable matter is
reduced, the rate OF growth falls
III response All Of the forested
area is not long going to stay in
woods. Some of Our old settled
states have sections in which not
more than from three to FIVE per
cent Of the land is in cultivation.
Conditions are rapidly changing.
The process Of clearing is being
started with a renewed .Eigpr. More
acres are being needed for the ;n-

burning means less corn, tobacco
cotton or grass when the forest
land is brought Under the plow.
Forest fires are as a rule Of III
cendiary origin, or are started BY
careIessness. Most Of them are
preventable. The scientist tells Us
! that some fires may originate from
lightning. and smaller. number
by friction of limbs against eacl
other during windy weather. These
are possibilities, but if they were
the only cause of forest fires VIZ

and make mould and enrich tht
soil. I think we are safe III saying
that most fires are started pur
poscly. The great majority of th'
