FOREST SERVICE

In the suit recently brought by
the government against the Wagon
Wheel Gap Improvement Co. to
compel the company to open the
Goose Creek road to the public.
Federal Judge Lewis decided in
favor Of defendants.
The road in question seems to
have been travelled by the general
public for over 20 years. The
General Palmer people went into
the Gap and obtaining patent to
the land closed the road claiming
1t to be private property. The
Forest Service, finding that they
could make no tim Der sales in the
locality accessible only by this
road on account of the fact that
the lumber could not be hauled
out, made test case in the courts
and lost. From the trial of this
important test case it appears that
the fact that road has been open
for certain length of time and
considered public highway, does
not establish it as such; also that
right-of-way must be reserved be-
fore patent issues, as the govern
ment cannot come in later and
force it.
At one time Ranger by name
of Rod S. Day, who had charge of
the district including the Gap, was
active in trying to have the road
declared a public highway by the
Mineral county commissioners.
Day was removed by Supervisor
Morrill, for his pains.

A GOOD SCHOOLMASTER

Democrats are restive, it is said
under the dictation of the Presi-
dent But the very condition
complained of offers the only
chance of success as an efficient,
working party organization. Were
it not for the drastic measures
taken by the President, It's efforts
would have been fritted away in
the log rolling compromises that
have hitherto been its bane. But
for the clearness of the Presidents 3
vision, his singleness of purpose
and his fearlessness in carrying it
out, the Democratic party would
today be weltering in its own
chronic impotency. He has been
literally the schoolmaster in poll
tics; and he has controlled Con-
gress as gathering of SO many
unruly boys.-The Public.

AID FOR THE FARMERS

President Wilson says there has
been too little federal legislation
framed to serve the farmer directly
and with deliberate adjustment
Of his real needs.
"Our farmers must have means
afforded them,' continues the pres
ident, "of handling their financial
needs easily and inexpensively.
They should be furnished these
facilities before their enterprises
languish, not afterwards.
And they will be, This is our
next great task and duty. Not
only is government commission
about to report, which is charged
with apprising the congress of the
best methods yet employed in this
matter, but the department of agri-
culture has also undertaken seri-
Gus and systematic study of the
whole problem of rural credits.

working together will certainly
afford the needed machinery of
relief and prosperity to the people
of the countrysides, and that very

justify suppression. Some hap
penings may in the reporting of
them serve no proper end. Of
two things the responsible news
paper will be jealousy careful
the good name of a woman and
the reputation of financial insti-
tuition.
Both are of that delicacy to be
easily hurt. The good name of a
woman is treasured beyond price,
and cloud cast upon the repu-

But this lesson the public

publicity is to avoid departure
from the beaten track.

PLEASE DON'T PUBLISH"

ENGIt HCWSpdpNA ID ANhAliAoA
with the request, please do not
publish anything about it.
Sometimes it is made in the form
of a demand and accompanied
by threats of dire results if
acquiesence does not follow.
There are a few things, the
Louisville Herald says, the
public ought keep in mind the
matter of newspapers relation
to the printing of news.
In the first place, a newspaper
owes an obligation to its whole
circle of readers to print a fair,
comprehensive report of the
days happenings. 1t cannot
overlook this responsibility
merely to please individuals.
That policy involved an injustice
to the many and favoritism to
the few. Who shall be favored?
Much of the news that is
printed unfortunately occasions
annoyance and often heartache
to somebody. That is an I'M
avoidable incident of the news
paper business. Is there justifi-
cation for shielding from conse-
quences the man or woman who
has influence, socially or in busl-
ness, while the many who lack it
must be treated without such
consideration?
Persons who wish to escape
publicity should be careful not
to make news, or should count
the cost of advertisement to the
world as part of the price they
must pay for what they have
determined upon doing.
There are certain easilv-defned
zones of publicity. The individ-
ual who steps into any of these
may count upon getting his
name in the newspapers. One is
the courts, civil and criminal.
The man who goes to law invites
advertisement. Yet many men
and sometimes wOmen-appeal
to a newspaper to suppress re-
ports OF legal proceedings in order
that they may be saved annoy
ance. The time TO consider
immunity is before resort to
law.
Departure from the conven-
tionalities of life is another
means of entering the publicity
zone. Conduct that is off the
beaten trail always affords
news. Those who defy social
observances or tread upon estab-
lished institutions must not ex-
pect to escape print, and should
not ask to be saved from such
notoriety.
Further, much injustice may
be done by the suppression OF
news. The tongue of gossip,
uniformed of the real fact, can
do hundred times more injury
to the innocent than publication
of the truth will do to those
actually involved. Often a news
paper is shielding the reputation
of a score from the scandal of
suspicion when it is telling the
truth about one who has incur
red the liability to censure.
A newspaper, with sense of
responsibility, will exercise a GER
tain discrimination. There may
