rAFTs CONSERVATION WORK.

President Taft is strong advocate of conservation, and the recent action of the government in withdrawing from entry 37.000 acres of oil land in California promises to be of great value to the country in the obtaining of fuel for the use of the navy for fuel. Inasmuch as oil burners have been successfully tried and two of the dreadnaughts are to be equipped with apparatus for the burning of oil as fuel instead of coal, the need of the oil fields is apparent. With an esti- mated yield of 250,00O,000 barrels from the tract. the benefit it will be to Un- cle Sam is indicated when the esti- mate IS that such a supply would last the government for the use on the naval vessels a quarter of a century.
 This reservation of the land is in keeping with the presidents policy and it Is being carried ont in many sec tions where mineral deposits are to be obtained. fuel supplies He hidden, or water privileges exist. For the gov-
 ernment 10 exercise the foresight in the preventing of promoters from get ting millions for song is most comfnendable move. The Alaskan coal deposits have been reclaimed by the declaring void of the Cunningham claims, water privileges are not being handed out to obstruct navigation and enrich many schemers at the ex- psnse of the government and now the oil lands for government use have been reserved. all indicative that the natural resources in the hands of the government are not being carelessly

answer in voice sweet and without the strain of emotion.
 When their first dance came Philip approached Angela with a slightly un- steady step. He put his arm firmly about her and when she was once more within the circle of his arm he drew g great breath of relief and con- tentment.
 As for Angela she only sighed softly. Because they had danced so much to- gether they swung into perfect rhythm. Philip realized that Angela had always seemed to fit so we'll against his shoul- der and that the scent from her halr and the feeling of her hand on his arm was sweeter than any other,
 Angela he said, suddenly. T have come to the crossroads, l want wou to be your old sweet self to me tonight and decide something for me. Will you-dear?" The last word had slip ped out uncensciously.
 And Angela. looking up, caught her breath sharply. Philips eyes were shining with love she had never seen there before.
 T have much to decide tonight, Phil ip," she said quickly, Some one is going to make me answer him tonight but I will be glad to help you if can Angela rejoiced in the quick clasp oi ! Philips arm as if he would hold hel from any other man.

SAFETY SHOULD COME FIRST.

The precautions which must be tak- en in providing for the safety of pas sengers on railroad trains imposes an important duty upon the road. It
 means that in addition to maintaining speed that certain regulations must be faithfully observed and attention paid to securing an equal degree of safety. This has been brought plainly to the attention of the officials of the Bur- hngton road, on which two fast trains collided, causing many to lose their lives last July. As the result, an offi- ciai who will examine the trainmen as to their knowledge of the operating rules of the road has been named With the ultimate object of safety this extra ccurse will be pursued.
 This is in accordance with the ideas of eastern roads. who require the en- gineers and others to pass eyesight and color examinations, and maintain a car for the purpose of demonstrat- ing the operation of different mech isms. Undoubtedly, each trainman has copy of the rules and it is required that he know them, but that usually ends it. Tie placing of an official or the line who will find out whether the rules are known will make 1t certain that instructions are carried out. Ht will be in position to pick out the men worthy of promotion from theil records of caution and prudence. The making of safety one of the first prin- ciples of any road cannot be too strongly emphasized.

FoLLow,Nc A PRECEDENT.


 When permission was given to the Mexican government to send troops over United States roads to cemeat the insurgents and afford better pre- tectfen te the towns in this country along the border, it was not establish ing any new precedent. It was sim ply doing what had been done on pre- vieus occasion to Mexico and to otner countries in the recognition of thelr rights over insurgents, the Mexican revolutionists not being recognized. of course. There have been numerous times when the privilege has been ex- tended. as shown by the New fork Tribune. when 1t sayss Tn 1S46 our treaty with New Granada secured to us the right to transport troops across the isthmus of Panama. In 1852 the United States government gave Great Britain permission to transport troops across the state of Maine into Canada, Secretary Seward arguing that the giving of such permission was a customary act of international com ity which should be performed when ever compatible with the safety and welfare of the country concerned. In 1875 similar permission was given to Canada to send across American soil supplies for it's mounted police In 1878 the Mexican government was per mitted to land at Brazos Santiago, in Texas. d body of troops destined for the defence of Matamoros, and again in 1885 and 1889 the same courtesy was extended to our southern neigh bor."
 There will be no intervention on the part of this country if 1t can be avoid ed, but such action will impose ohli- gations upon Mexico to do it's utmost in .the protection of Americans and their interests and hasten the time when she can maintain peace there.

pvPLIviTY NOT couNTENANcEp

The proper course was taken by the republican convention of the state of Maryland in reconvening and re- moving from the ticket those electors who had been named, but who do not stand for the reelection of the pres ident. They are not entitled to a place on the ticket, standing as they would be in a false light before the voters and 1t was their duty to resign and not require a state convention to drop them. The Maryland republicans have made it evident that it is not possible to be member of both par purpose of injuring the republicans In reference to the action of the par ty the Baltimore American says:
 "The Maryland republicans are on record for outright. definite tnd clear cut fighting--the fight to win. They have seen the diminution of Roose- welt influence in the state. Either President Taft must be given the votes of Maryland or Woodrow Will son must be accorded them This means that men who have spent years building up a status for themselves in their party must look for, the possible wFscking of their hopes and aims in the pursuit of a cause marked for defeat or else they must renounce their leanings toward Roosevelt and come out straight for Taft and the party that has nourished them.
 'The reconvened convention has dene much to solidify the party and te give confidence to the republicans of the state, Certainly Maryland is In better, shape for Taft than it was before"
 It is unfortunate that other state conventions did not adjourn subject to call. that similar circumstances might be overcome in other states where the policy of misrepresentation is being carried out by the new party Stolen fruit may be the sweetest, but it is a poor practice for a purity plat form.

NEW, PAPER cuRRENcx

Soon there can be expected to be in circulation the new style of paper money which was authorized by the last session of congress, upon the sug- gsstion of Secretary MacVeagh. Many changes have been made in paper money since 1t was first issued; it has been of different size, two or three colors and with various decorative de- signs. Differing from the. other changes, there is an object in the new plan which will appeal to everyone. It is desired to have the bills smaller for convenience of handling and to make the design so that it will he possih.e to tell the denomination T. a glance. Many of the bills, thought not So much of late years, have had the denomination so obscure that in banks and eus,Dess houses, where large piles of them aie counted, delays have been oocesicned by the time required to look at ct eh bill searchingly, whereas glance will hereafter make it cer- tain. Though the size will not be so noliceatly smaller. it will save a nil aion in the cost of the material yearly. The. reduction in size will not affect the value of the respective denom na- tons, and though the design may te simpler il will have just as much pu:- chasing power.

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY.
ANGELA DECIDES

''No, Philip Angela's lips were set firmly, T simply will not make up my mind just now to marry you, My lit erary path is beginning te unwind be- fore me and I de not want to get all tangled up with matrimonial duties.
 You have told me you love me. An gela,' Philip Dorland said graVely. 'Your decision hardly proves it"
 Angela flushed. T do not see why you should be so unreasonable, she said. with some heat. T only want a year or Sd in order to get my name firmly established and then
 ''Yes, then" broke in Philip with more dignity than hurt. when you have worn yourself out burning the midnight oil and indulE5ng in all the silly bohemian fads-somewhat bif- terly. T do not care to have my love tossed aside like an old glove and pick- ed up only after your evidently greater love for writing has weRried you
 Angela cast a swift glance at this new. unyieIding Philip. She had nev- GIT before felt his power so keenly, yet she braced herself against his love.
 If you care enough about me you would be glad that l have other inter ests and a talent for writing, she sah half in appeal
 "Not when the interests come before me, Philip told her with his honest blue eyes fixed unrelentingly upon her. Nor do I want my wife to indulge her temperament so far as to work herseii into mild forms of hystefia through her too vivid imagination. You know. because we have spoken frequently of it. that I want you to develop the tai ent which you undoubtedly possess, but I certainly do not want you to ruin your own nerves and those Of your husband in it's pursuit"
 ''Very well!'' Angela burst forth Win her nose very high in the air. we VII take no risk with your delicate nerves Here is your ring; hope you VIII mo d girl who has neither nerve nor an ounce of temperament In her whole marble body-perhaps she can make you happy. 1 have decided to Dc nap py myself!" Angela turned and Wenl swiftly out of the room leaving 2 tral of delicate aroma which was all tna' was left to Philip Dorian.
 He went out of the house and doWf the steps, nor did he know whither nc was walking. In his heart Philip con demned his own lack of gentleness Angela was romantic and deileateis maetnative, and his words had peef harsh. He realized now that 1t wal too late, that he could have cnoseI more tactful language.
