Across my window glass
The moving shadows of the peo
ple pass.
Sometimes the shadows glide
along the hall;
Ana neighbors come, to call,
Bringing a word or smile
To cheer my loneliness a little
while.
But as I hear them talk.
These people who can walk
And go about the great green
earth at will,
I wonder if they know the joy
of being still.
And all alone with thoughts
that soar afar
High as the highest star.
And oft I feel more free
Than those who travel over
land and sea.
For one who Is shut in
Away from all the outer strife
and din.
With faithful Jain for guide.
Finds where Great Truths
abide.
Across my window glass
The moving shadows pass.
But swifter moves my unim
peded thought
Speeding from spot to spot
Out and afar
High as the highest star.

by the construction of tie pipe line.
But the importance of t-ie precedent
Involved is as great us the iu-tuul is
sue is small. The essential fact of
the situation is that the company is
attempting by appeal to congress to
establish the right of water power
companies generally to take and ,use
fcr their own purposes what Nation
al forest land they ilease in spite of
the government and the courts. Hav
ing attempted by subterfuge and de
fiance to ,avold complying with the
reasonable conditions imposed under
the law by the government, and hav
ing failed at all points on a state
ment of the facts, this company is
now endeavoring to got from the leg-
branch of the government
what the executive and Judicial
branches have properly denied.
There 'is nothing unusual or ex
ceptional about this case, and noth
ing to warrant special treatment.
This company has been asked to do
nothing that Is not required of all
other companies under similar cir
cumstances. If the Hydro-Electric
company of California Is allowed the
special privilege which this bill is de
signed to give, other companies jvlll
demand the same.
It Is perfectly obvious that all the
expense and burden of this contest
has not been undertaken by this com
pany merely to avoid a charge of $75
j a year. The underlying fact Is that
! if the company accepts a permit it
recognizes and accepts the right of
the government to exercise, in the
public interest, a moderate control.
If the bill basses the company will
escape government control altogeth
er. A precedent of enormous value

thus he established, and the work ol
controlling monopoly In water power
will be checked and hampered accord
ingly. There Is no reason whatever
why the property of the people
should be given to these companies
unconditionally, forever, and for
nothing, which is precisely what this
bill proposes to do.

A CONSERVATIVE FIGHT.
Gifford Pinchot, chief forester un
der the Roosevelt administration, did
valuable and patriotic work in bring
ing on the conservation movement
and thereby attracting public atten
tion to the manner in which the re
sources of the country were fast fall
ing Into the hands of a few syndi
cates. To Pinchot more than to any
one else in the United States is due
the credit for saving the coal of Al
aska for the benefit of the public.
In view of that service many peo
ple will be glad to see him succeed
in a fight the national conservation
association is now waging to kill a
t)ill to give a right of way through
the Mono national forest to the
Hydro-Electric company of Califor
nia. As set forth in a statement
from the conservation commission the
facts are these: ,
For more than two years this com
pany has been contesting the right
o? the government to regulate in the
public Interest the use of lands with
in the National" Forests. In the face
of the protest of local forest officers
and entirely without permission from
the government, the company dug it3
ditch across the National Forest
lands concerned and had begun to lay
its pipe line when It was stopped by
a temporary restraining order.
The chief contention of the com
pany was that the location by It of
fining claims, covering the land
across which the pipe line was to be
lcld, removed this land from the
Jurisdiction of the government. These
claims wer, evidently fraudulent. Af
ter hearing testimony and oral argu
ments from both sidss, the Master in
Chancery, to whom the suit was re
ferred by the court, in his report
(October 17, 1909) recommending
that a temporary injunction should
be granted, said of the claims:
"On the question of good faith of
these mining locations, I have given
the evidence and arguments of co.:n
f;el the most careful consideration.
I am entirely convinced that
the great preponderance of evidence
shows that they are nothing but pa
ler claims, made with a view of ob
taining a right of way for their pipe
line across the forest reserve.
Ir. my opinion, the seven claims men
tioned are not valid mining locations
at all."
It may be added that the seven
claims were sold to the company by
their locators for $10 each, or $4
mor than the recording fees. Mining
cialms at $4 each are not to be taken
seriously. ,
On its face the question at issue is
small, and doubtless was selected for
that reason. It concerns the running
of a pipe line a distance of only 3800
feet within a National Forest. The
value of the land for National Forest
purposes will not b seriously reduced
THEY WAXT A GOOD STRE
There Is evidence that a. very large
number of the residents of Jackso.h
street are ready to follow the leaV
o Mayor Matlock and ask for '.jit-'
surface paving on their thorougli,jire.
Many have always wanted hard sur
face paving and a sufficient number
have come over to that way of think
ing during the past few days that
a test would no doubt show a ma
jority to be favorable to the 'better
class of work.
This is a good situation for it
would be unfortunate to have Jackson
street macadamized unless far better
results could be secured than were
secured on East Court and West Al
ta streets. Those are not excellent
streets even in the summertime and
in the winter they are but little better
than the dirt streets.
While he north siders are improv
ing their street they should do It
right. There are many living on west
Alta and East Court who regret they

OHIO'S BEST FINANCIERS.
Every now and then John D. Arch
bold whose brain is considered In
Standard OH only second to that of
John D. Slices off a thick wedge
of his fortune and confers it upon
some deserving institution. But it
is. to be observed that Mr. Archibald
always does the slicing. No one ever
hurries up and takes money away from
him. And when he is engage in a
business undertaking he can figure
costs and credits down to the ulti
mate decimal.
"I learned to do this in I.eesburg,
Ohio, where I was born," said he
to a friend. "I began my business life
by clerking in a grocery store in
Ohio. The wives of farmers would
come in with eggs and butter and
trade them for calico and sugar and
other commodities. In those days
there was no such thing as a one
price rule. We got what we could
and, as markets had not been sys
tematized as they are now, and trans
portation facilities were poor, we paid
what we had to, and roughly tried to
figure out a profit. One could not
take' a slate and half an hour and do
that figuring in the rear of the store,
either. It had to be done right off
the reel and convincingly. I've learn
ed a lot of other things in business
since then, but the best training I
ever had was in thayiittle Ohio gro
cery store. It taught me the value of
absolute knowledge of the details or
my business."
Some one suggested that Mr. Ar
fchbold probably laid the foundation
'of his fortune there.

Labeling the public lands.
The land-classification board of the
United States Geological Survey is
administered by a chairman and a
general advisory committee, the lat
ter made up of the chiefs of branch
es, divisions and sections of the sur
vey; whose field work supplies the
greater part of the fundamental data
that form the basis of the board's ac
tion. Within the land-classification
board are subordinate boards, each of
which deals directly with one of the
natural resources and certain public
land problems related thereto. The
number of these subordinate boards
may be increased or diminisHed from
time to time-as the exigences of the
work require. At present there are
subboards that deal with the classifi-

cation of coal, oil and gas, phosphate
and metalliferous deposits and with
irrigation and power matters'.
The fundamental purpose for which
the board nnd subboards were creat
ed is to carry out the mandate of the
organic act of the geological survey,
In which It is charged primarily with
the classification of the public lands.
This work of classification involves
many questions as to procedure In
public land matters, partly incidental
to the classifications and partly the
result of statutes recently enacted, in
the administration of which certain
responsibilities devolve upon the sur
vey, either directly or in cooperation
with other bureaus in the interior de
partment. The board's activities have during
the last year or. more been largely In
creased, by certain cooperative agree
ments with the general land office, by
virtue of which the commissioner re-f
quests information on the mineral or
power value of lands for which pat
ent Is asked, cither before or after
examination by special agents. The
office of Indian affairs likewise re
fers to the geological survey lands
listed for patent and lands which it
is proposed to eiminate from the res
ervations and throw open for settle
ment, in order that the mineral or
non-mineral character or the power
value of the lands affected may be
determined. Proposed eliminations
from national forests are likewise re
ferred for report as to mineral char
acter and power value, and all Carey
Act lists are submitted to the geologi
cal survey for a statement as to the
sufficiency of the proposed plan of
irrigation before the lists are approv
ed for sebregation.
