BOY SCOUTS TO BECOME
FOREST FIRE FIGHTERS

If the plans of Sydney L. Moore,
acting district forester of the United
States forestry service are carried out,
the coming summer will see several
hundred uniformed, husky youths on
foot and on horseback guarding hun
dreds of thousands of acres of rich
forests from devastation by fire. He
intends to make the Boy Scouts of
Denver and Colorado expert fire fight
ers. They will be put to work just
as soon as the school season ends.
In Colorado, Wyoming and South
Dakota, the three states controlled by
the Denver district forestry headquar-
ters, there were 455 fires last year.
Most of them, according to Acting
Chief Moore, could have been pre-
vented, and hundreds of thousands of
dollars saved to the government and
to the settlers and the homesteaders
adjoining the forests by intelligent ac-
ton and little information on the
subject of handling forest fires.
lne loresIry SeINiSe oeheNea lhat
the Boy Scouts can enter upon their
duties better equipped than any other
class of citizens. They are taught ma
ture work during their school terms
and when they are put to work by the
government they will be able at once
to act intelligently. When they are
grown up, too, their present training
is going to stand them in good stead
when they become engineers and sur
veyors, and needless destruction of
forests will be prevented.
The government is going to pay the
boys for their work. Those that are
not put to work preventing or fighting
fires, will be engaged as collectors Of
cones. They are to be paid by the
bushel. Other employment in the for
ests is also contemplated for the boys.
The strong lads Of IA to 10 years are
the ones to be selected for the work.
The government feels that the plan
will be mutually beneficial.-Denver
Post.

ECONOMY IN GOVERNMENT.

In a speech before the Kentucky
legislature, Governor Harmon of Ohio,
who is considered the presidential can
didate of the conservatives in the
Democratic party, expressed the be-
lief, that the reform most sorely need
ed nowadays in the administration of
the government is better results at
less expense. AS he says, it ought not
to cost billion dollars year, or over
$11 for each man, woman and child in
the country, to maintain the federal
government with its limited functions.
He admits that other reforms of gov
ernment are needed, but a retrench-
ment in government expenses, in his
opinion would bring quicker, greater,
and more general relief than any 9TH
er. And there are few who will dis
pute these contentious of the distin-
guished executive Of Ohio.
President Taft is also of the same
mind with Governor. Harmon, even if
they are on different sides of the po-
litical fence. Furthermore, President
Taft is the first president since the
time of Cleveland who has given the
matter of governmental expenses any
serious consideration. And he has been
hammering away at their reduction
since the first day of his administra-
ton. He has achieved wonderful re-
suits, too. He will make even bet
ter showing if congress will provide
the funds for the expenses of the
commission that the president created
for the purpose of making the investi-
cations necessary to retrenchment
in the expenses of all of the govern
ment's departments and bureaus.
At about the time he was ready to
retire from public life, ex-senator AL
drich remarked that if he were given
af rec hand in managing the finances
of the government, he could easily |
save the enormous sum of $500, ,000, 900 |
a year, and not cripple any of the de-
partments Of government in SO doing.
And from the way President Taft has
tackled this problem it is almost GER
tain that he will come near doing as
well, provided that he is given the op-
portunity hd the necessary tools TO
work with.

A LEGAL TENDER DECISION.

Over in the state of Ohio a street
car conductor refused to accept a mu-
tilated nickel from boy passenger
The boy had no other money and was
elected from the car. He sued for
damages and was awarded 81 900. The
case was appealed to the Ohio su-
preme court, where it has been affirm
ed.
The case is important mainly for
the opinion of the supreme court or:
the question of the mutilated nickcI

quality merely by being worn in the

Under this decision pretty much any
Bort of worn or battered coin will

NEW YORK PAPERS FIGHT
TEDDY; PREDICT DOWNFALL


NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-The follow
ing are extracts from editorials in
yesterdays New York papers:
The World:
at is not Theodore Roosevelt but
the American people who are on trial.
The issue at stake is not his quail
fications for a third term in the White
house, but their fitness for popular
self-government under constitutional
restraint.
"To temporaize with personal gov
ernment is to invite another national
disaster"
The Times:
"Mr. Roosevelt must have lost his
sense of humor, if he ever had that
sense, for it is impossible that he
would have put forth his announce
ment had he clearly perceived in what
a ridiculous situation it places him.
~ will accept the nomination for
president if it is rendered me- Why
say this undisputed thing in that SOL
emn way? Accept the nomination ?
Why, for two years he has been
scheming and intriguing for it. He
has worked for it without ceasing and
he has worked in the vulgarest way.
The whole country knows that"
The Sun:
Theodore Roosevelt, twice presi-
dent of the United States, is the pos
SCISSOR this morning of our profound
commiseration. With all his native
force he has been unable to conquer
the boyish impulses that are so mark
ed feature of his very interesting
character. This is matter of per-
sonal psychology"
The Press:
"The New York Press doubts that
Mr.. Roosevelt can get a majority of
the delegates away from Mr.. Taft on
the platform he has presented to the
people. But his contest with the pres
ident is fortunate for the Republican
party, If it serves to convince the ma
tional convention that denomination of
Mr.. Taft would be serious mis-
take"
The Tribune;
"The Tribune regrets that Colonel
Roosevelt is again seeking the nomi-
nation for the presidency. His candi-
dacy, because of personal relations
formerly existing, can hardly fail to
engender unusual political bitterness
and create breach among Republic
ans wider than rival candidates. or

the party will need its full strength to

would destroy the stability of law

a rabid appeal to the crowd whenever
a lawyer lost an important case. With

THE GENTLE MULE.

E. G. w. Ferguson speaks feeling
ly of the mules innate mulishness in
the February Outing. Of the "best"
mule, he says:
once knew man who had a @ 'od
mule, saddle mule; he had her six
years and used to brag of her good
nature. A friend of his, who doubted
the existence of so unheard-of beast
as good-natured mule, was thought
less enough to say so. The owner of
the mule offered to prove her good
nature and the friend was heartless
enough to dare him. They went to
the stable.
"Now," said my Acquaintance, "I'm
going to walk right up to that mule,
never say word, grab her tail and
twist it; / guess that ought to salts
fly you, eh? ?"
81 sure will if she don't kick" the
audience replied from safe distance.
"Don't worry, she won't kick; I
know that mule" my friend rejoined.
"After that will crawl under her bel
ly, just to show you what a pet she
is"
He walked up, seized his pet by the
tail, and gave it vigorous twist.
The doctor summed up the net results
OF the experiment-three broken ribs,
a dislocated wrist, several decorations
of the scalp and various minor bruises.
Believe me, gentle reader, "A mule is
a mule"

But without knowing each years
grand total of passengers carried and
men employed there is no way OF
showing whether or not railroading is
really getting safer.
Casualties are costly. But safety
devices are also expensive. Railway
managers can not authorize huge ex-
penditures to test experimental safety
devices.
"But since the government now
practically exercises control of the
country's railroads it is for the gov
ernment to test and endorse safety
devices end then compel their adop-
ton by the railroads" says the Rail-
way Employees Magazine. "Block sig
nails and coupling devices are doing
much to avoid some of the commoner
old accidents. But always it is the
human element that can not be regu-
lated; a man will be careless some
time.
"And the hardest hit are the unfor-
tunate railway employees themselves,
nearly 47,O00 of them that last fiscal
year. That is killing or manning, or
injuring railway men at the rate of
nearly 1000 a month"
