Governor Wm Suiter, mho re
cently graduated from congress In
to the governorship of New York,
la Mart I uk out on correct lines for
landing himself into the president
ial cbair The war he la doing It.
la by getting in touch with the peo
pis, something after the manner of
Ltaeoln He has taken the public
la hia confidence He ia telling the
people why he does things aud why
he makes certain recommendations
to hi* legislature
Take the question of pardoning
criminals or those doing terms In
Ihs penitentiaries; Mr, suiter says
Ui&t when Influences, petttions or
reasons are presented to him call
ing for the pardon of anyone, be
fore granting that pardon "I will
first notify the Judge and the dis
trict attorney Then I ? ill get all
the facts and lay those facts be
fore the newspapers of the state
and through them before the peo
ple of the state The people have
the right to know why pardons arc
granted
That the people should have a
right to know everything that goes
on In public office, is a political
creed which is not always acted up
on by men In high office, hut It is
a creed which if religiously carried
out will land its advocates into the
offices of the land. The recent
overturning of political management
Id the United States can be traced
to the fact that the people have
been excluded from knowledge of
the inner workings of those in
power The ruling hierarchy be
came too exclusive The rights 01
petition were ignored No one
could reach the ear of the presi
dent unless he belonged to th<
Chivy Chase golf club or was rec
om mended by someone with a
lard It pull. Political overthrow
had to come under such a policy.
The time Is ripe for a rejuvena
tion of politics. The pendulum *s
?ringing back to the starting point
and when it swings back to the
?topping place, watch Mr. Suiter
climb on and swing into the presi
dent
The naMonal forests contain about
'one-fifth or the standing timber of
the country, but furnish only one
olghtleth of the annual cut. The
amount that could be cut from
them each year without exceeding
the gain by growth la over six bil
lion feet. A large part of the
stand of national forest timber is
now ripe for the ax; ao the sooner
it is cut the greater will be the
production of new timber growth
and the leas the waste through
decay.
The forvgolng Is taken from the
recent annual report of the Secre
tary of AKriculture. It shows what
a poor business man Uncle Sam la
To be sure, the law provides that
timber from national forests may
be sold to homesteaders and set
tlers In the vicinity for their own
use at actual coat; also that It
may be sold for the market under
conditions very carefully prescribed,
with a view to preventing monopoli
zation But undar these carefully
prescribes! conditions the govern
ment succeeded In selling last year
only one-tenth of the ripe product
It had on hand? product that de
teriorates the more the longer It
stands.
The country uses rough forty bll
lion feet o? lumber a year Lumber
prices have been steadily advanc
ing for a doten years. At the
same time the country produces In
its own public forests six billion
feet of timber a year and cuts
only a tenth of it ? letting the rest
stand and deteriorate. If that is
not bad business where will you
find any? It would take Morgan
perhaps half a day to devise prac
ticable meant of getting that ripe
? and decaying ? timber to a mar
ket that is hungry for It Satur

One of the markets available for
Vl.iska coal, were the coal fields of
the Territory developed, would be
to supply coke to the smelters and
foundries on Puget Sound and at
Portland. San Francisco, Los An
geles. and other cities on the Pa
cific coast Most of the coke now
consumed on the coast, is imported
from Germany or England or l?
brought from the Eastern State*
