THE INCREASE OF TIMBER

A CHANCERY ROMANCE.
Helping a Friend. He Unearthed a For
tune For Himself.

tune For HImself.
Perhaps there is no more curious
chapter in the history Of the chancery
courts than that Of two Pittsburgh
men. The first had claim to small
estate abroad. but he did not have the
money to pay the claim agency to
make a search, so he got friend to
back him.
This friends name was Peterman.
and the money he advanced was like a
grub stake-he was gambling on his
friends claim proving up.
One day when Ieterman was at the
claim agency office he came upon this
advertisement IN the agency files: "Pe
terman tAlbertliSi. musician. born in
Amsterdam in 1900. son of Charles
Frederick and Henrietta Susanna Gas
man. Left for Liverpool in 1876. He
is sought for inheritance by NJ Con.
tot. avocat. 21 Boulevard st. Germain,
Paris"
That was the inception of the ia
nous "Kinsey docks case, the name
coming from the fact that the original
Peterman was last seen at Kinsey
docks. in Liverpool The claim agency
took the matter in hand. traced Peter
mans lineage back and enabled him
to establish n good claim to an inner
itance of 100000.
That WAS case of fortune being

"Government by the Mob"

Gentlemen who talk affrightedly
about the hasty judgments Of the
people lack either honesty or obser-
walton. The judgments of the peo-
pie are not hasty but deliberate
even slow. The people are naturally
conservative. They bear long and
patiently; they turn from the old
WAYS and old ideas with reluctance.
But there is something tremendous
like the forces of nature. in their
accumulated convictions.
There are many instances OF sudden
changes. of whirlwind convictions, OF

Mr.. Wilson SaIutatory

Necessity and policy both influence
cd the Democratic candidate to make
B. relatively brief reply to formal an
louncement of his recent nomination
at Baltimore He had no record as
President to explain or to justify
as had Mr.. Taft; he had no need
of an elaborate explanation for be-
ing a candidate as in the case of
Mr.. Roosevelt. Moreover he is a
canny Scottish-American, enough of
a man of letters to know the worth
of brevity in defining creed and
making for him is now not so I'M
portant a task, tactically considered,
as inspiring confidence in himself as
a person competent to deal with fun
damental issues of government in
accord with ethical principle.
Consequently his speech is not so
much one of specific recommends
lions relative to future partizan or
national action as it is calm dis
cussion of social conditions and a
reviewing of the motives and ideals
to which the American democracy
must remain constant-in his opin-
ion. He finds too much selfishness,
special legislation, denial of equal
rights, separation Of the people into
warning groups and granting of priv
ilege, to make it possible for democ-
racy to survive. There must be a
restoration of emphasis on the prin-
ciple of leach for all and all for
each" Methods of ascertaining and
registering popular verdicts as to
political measures and officials who
shall execute them must be devised
which cannot be controlled by the
few.
The day of "partizan make be-
lieve" are over. The time for con-
structive craftsmanship has come,
with a stress of urgency such as has
not been known since the days Of
national birth. The need of the hour
is to set up the rule of right and
Justice affecting all the interests OF
a great industrious expanding ma
.ion, and to take the advice not OF
a few but of the many. y great re
adjustment must come to pass by
action of the whole people"
Not the least significant feature OF
Governor Wilson's utterance is its
refusal to assume the tone of cen
sorship of persons, and his announce
ment that his campaign will not be
one of attack on individuals char
acters or careers, personal or otii
cial. A student of the evolution Of
American parties and national poll
cies having been called to lead his
toric party-and mayhap the nation
at time of reconstruction of gov
eminent methods wishes the process
to be dignified, rational and con
science-controlled.

Thrashina . Man Of Straw


In commenting on the promise"

dent Taft the Aberdeen World shows
the headsrong absmdity OF the presi
dent in standing out for his pet pro-
iect. the commerce court which the
house and senate, as we'll as The gen
eral public has condemned as a use

Eut, out esteemed contemporaries
probably feeling that some apology
should be offered for the obstinacy OF
President Taft, for whose reelection
it appears to be an unwilling support
er. concludes the article. with 4
little fling at the democrats in con
eress. as follows:
The president, however, is decided
~ right in his opposition to the llm-
tation of the tenure of Office OF civil
service employees. If such service
is to be limited to seven years, OF
what value is civil service? This pro-
vision of the bill evidently emanates
from the democrats. Long left just
outside the patronage fence, the don
key begins to smell the hay and pro-
poses to knock down in advance every
barrier, that for the good of the pub
lie, might possibly stand in the way
of the rush he hopes to be able to
make. The very fact that the demo-
Gratis want to establish a tenure of
office rule shows what will happen
should they come into control of the
government.
"This provision of the bill emanates
from the Democrats" says the World.
How does it know? We would like
to inquire. There are not a sufficient
, number of democrats in congress to
send any measure to the president
as the World we'll knows. Is it not
just as likely that progressives il
congress have decided the presence
of a bunch of superanuated political
hacks kept in office for years by the
republican party, can be dispensed
with to the advantage of the public
service? The Herald has no first
hand information on this point, nor
has it the record showing the vote on
the measure in both houses, nor does
it believe the World has.
However, the little sting to demo
Gratis is fully atoned for in the tacit
admission it contains, of democratic
