PLAYING WITH FIRE.

In his speech in Albuquerque, Friday of last week, Roosevelt declared that he favors now the extension of the principle of the recall to the Presidency. that when ever President fails to meet the expectancy of the people he should be recalled, and divested of his high office.
 Were this last vagary of the third term seeker to be put into actual practice it would pave the way to political and administrative chaos the very first time that the government were put under any great strain, either through domes- tic violence or foreign aggression. Had the principle of the recall been applicable to the President in 1862, when the darkest hours of the Civil War were upon the American people, Abraham Lincoln would have been recalled from the great work to which all men agree now he was called especially by Divine Providence, and those who were then seeking destruction of the Union would have triumphed. Coming nearer to our own time, had the recall been applicable to the Presidency in 1894, when Grover Cleveland sent regulars to Chicago to quell the rioters who were in possession of that city, had paralyzed interstate traffic in a large part of the country, and the execu- tive of the great state of Illinois vas pandering to the infuriated passions of an anarchistic mob, the recall might have been invoked then to the great damage and detriment of the entire country. When Andrew Jackson threw the great power of the Presidency Athwart the rising tide of nullifica- lion, were the recall in vogue at 'hat time can anyone doubt that Calhoun and his abettors would not have invoked that method of ndding themselves of the adaman- line obstacle presented before their nefarious schemes by the indom- liable President?
 Do not the three great historic Instances cited show how Mir. Roosevelt is playing with fire and edged tools in his frantic effort to call to his aid all sorts of clements In his assault upon the Presidency ?

the skiddng operation is designed only to get
the logs of the forest depths where no log
carrying vehicle could be operated without Infinite
trouble and damage to the standing timber. How

the logs held to await the spring freshets

than the donkey above referred to and stronger
wire cable is supplied The pathway for the logs

smooth from the polishing process afforded by
the passage of the logs that 1t is practicable to

At some lumber camps it is the practice to
ploy giant sleds to carry the logs the first
stage of their journey from the forest to the saw
mill. OF course snow is requisite to the salts

the Icy roads the vehicles traverse the line thus
furrowed with facility suggestive of that with

mobile is not very different from the ordinary
commercial motors which employed for
delivery work in every city. However, the self
propelled adjunct of winter logging is provided
with sharp teeth which 1t sinks into the snow or
ice as 1t progresses thus insuring steady prog
ress with no slipping sliding the smooth
surfaces.
But because the winter finds the lumber lacks

as 20 to 40 degrees below zero it must not be sup
posed that they do not find time and opportunity
for plenty of fun in the isolated camps where they
spend the season. logging camp may be any

nearest store and postoffice, but the Jacks" are
kept literally supplied with fresh butter fresh
meat, smoking and chewing tobacco, etc. A
graphophone or phonograph is almost newt
able adjunct of the isolated logging camp and the
umbermen manage in one way and another to
get records of the latest song hits from time to
time.
The average logging camp has two main struc-

hunks arranged in tiers and the cook shanty

Tor the twentieth century logging crews. In what
might term the traditional seats of the lumber
Industry, however, winter puts a very differ
ent face on the whole matter of getting out
the logs and transporting them to the sawmills
that transform them into the marketable form
known to the average consumer. In Maine, in
northern New York and Canada in Michigan, in
Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas the
is in a vacation season for the lumber
Jacks. At least 1t is fnterlude of restricted
activity and the lumbermen, unlike other
members of the community welcome the passing
of the long. bright days and the advent of the Ice
King The explanation of this state of affairs is
found Of course in the fact that and ice
afford the material for the ideal arteries of com
munication in the lumber regions. The feled
trees may be conveyed to market quickly
and more economically roads and ice
trails than by any other method known to the
industry Indeed. there are lumber regions where
without these factors-and their sequel the big
thaw" in the spring-it would be virtually i'm
practicable to get the timber to market at
pense that would Justify operations.
The snow and ice, important as is their aid.
are not the only influences that tending
to make the lumbermen concentrate their activ-
tiles in the fall and winter. OF late years con-
stanty increasing number of our lumbermen have
been brought to the wisdom of adopting what
10 known conservative lumbering-that is, lum-
bering which treats forest as working capital
whose purpose is to produce successive crops and
which calls for work in the woods that will leave
the standing trees and young growth as nearly
unharmed possible Well, the minute man
becomes a convert to conservative numbering he
IN certain to become advocate Of the cold
son as the proper time for carrying all the
operations Of numbering.
To make this point clear 1t may be pointed out
that the difference between practical work under
ordinary methods of numbering and under con-
eervative numbering is principally in the selection
