HENEY ENDORSES PINCHOT.
"The natural resources of the Unit
ed States belong to the people and
should be controUed by the govern
ment. It would be a fatal mistake
to allow private capital to gobble
them up. Above all the water power
of the country should be conserved.
1 heartily endorse the policy of Gif
ford Pinchot, chief forester.
"The most vital problem of conserv
ation today Is that of ownership of
water power rights.
"You and your children will de
nounce you as a set of fools if you
permit the ownership of water power
energy to go In perpetuity into the
hands of private interests. All the
timber that was stolen in Oregon and
Washington was but a drop in the
bucket besides the legalised robbery
by corporations.
"One hor^ffoesr of water cou do
the work of twelve men. Give one
man the exclusive right to 1,000,000
H. P. of water and you have given
bim 12.000,000 slaves to toil for him.
And the slaves will toll forever, they
will never need to be fed or clothed.
It Is not right to give this power to
any single man or corporation. The
public resources belong to the peo
ple.
"This Is a question which congress
must decide next winter. Either the
nmy.T aill J?e grabbed by the monop
* takes are so great that the men who
seek to control the resources will not
hesitate to spend any amount of mon
ey to defeat the alms of the people
The American people are going to
insist that this question be settled
rext winter, and settled right."
Speech made before Conservation
Congress by Francis Heney.

"BULL."
The resignation of Orrnsby McHarg,
who has been acting as assistant
secretary of commerce, has been ex
pected lately and undoubtedly was re
quested by President Taft. McHarg
Is the uian who appeared before the
national committee for the anti-Shack
leford delegation at the Chicago con
vention; he was the agent of Alex
ander McKenzie In North Dakota and
with L. D. McGahan and Alfred Blals

lu that state. McHarg was an inde
fatigable worker, a good friend, a bit
ter hater, but with It all a dangerous
man to have at the head of any de
partment It Is good he is out of the
way. ? Juneau Record.
The above editorial was written by
Gloomy (Jus O'Urleu, who poses- as
a political wlsacre and prides him
self on his knowledge Ot national af
fairs. What GusUivus states about
Ormsby McHarg being an undesirable
Is true enough, but when he contin
ues that McHarg McGahan and Blals
dell ran the Machine in North Dakota
pretty much as they pleased lu the
last two elections he shows a laugh
able lack of information.
In U*0<> John Burke .Democrat, car
ried the state for governor, lu 11>0S
Burke was re-elected, Martin Johnson
an "Insurgent" was sent to the Unit
ed States Senate, while M. B. Little,
the Machine candidate for the Senate
and around whom the great fight was
made, ran fourth. Alex McKenzie
himself was compelled to resign as
national committeeman.
Merely a correction, Gloomy.
GATHERING ROSES.
I've gathered roses and the like,
in many glad and golden Junes; but
now, as down the world I hike, my
my weary hands are filled with
prunes. I've gathered roses o'er and
o'er, and some were white, and some
were red; but when I took them to
the store, the grocer wanted eggs
instead. I gathered roses long ago,
in other days, in other scenes; and
people said, "You ought to go and
dig the weeds out of your beans." A
million roses bloomed and died, a mil
lion more will die today; that man
is wise who lets them slide, and
gathers up the bales of hay. ? Walt
Mason.

The, words of the wise are as goads

A SONNET.
A-winding through enchanted seas
that lie
In sweet tranquility beneath the
hoods
Of snow-girt peaks; or breaking
Solitudes
As fairy-like as Lakes in Arcady;
Or watching mutely purpled cliffs
go by,
And glacial drifts stained turqual
Ine, and woods
On islands marvellously green ?
such moods
Are waked as touch the hem of Dioty
When drifting down the turgid
stream of life,
Becalmed in bayous of each petty
care,
Or tempest-swept and lost from
anchorage ?
Remember these Alaska days! No
strife
Is here: just majesty and peace:
more rare
Than all the gold that lies in
quartz-bound cage.
