THE HARDWOOD RECORD.

impeached him for what? Had he abused 

 the powers of his office? Was he oppress- 

 ing anjbody? No. it was only a case, a 

 rather flagrant case, of neglect of diity. 

 It was alleged that for 212 of the 3G5 days 

 in which he was supposed to hold court, 

 he was engaged in other matters and that 

 he charged up $10 a day for expense ac- 

 count to which he was not entitled. 



Tremble, all ye rogues in official posi- 

 tion! The people are after you. You are 

 expected to put in 3C.5 days of a specified 

 number of hours, and if you do not do It 

 the devil may get you. 



It seems strange to see Congress de- 

 bating an expense account of $10 to-day 

 and to-morrow be debating an appropria- 

 tion of hundreds of millions, but it shows 

 the pressure that is being brought to bear. 



And then the way in which the people 

 voted at the recent election is a hopeful 

 sign. We do not mean that it is a hopeful 

 sign because a Republican was elected, nor 

 has the Republican party a long tenure of 

 office unless it keeps moving. The result 

 of the election of 1904 showed that the 

 spirit of independence was abroad in the 

 land. The old party lines do not hold 

 the people at all. and they can convert a 

 Republican majority into a Democratic 

 majority without half trying. The un- 

 precedented action of the voters in elect- 

 ing Democratic governors in several 

 states, by a large majority, while at the 

 same time carrying the states for Roose- 

 velt, by a large majority, is a hopeful 

 sign. The people are independent. 



And the great mass of the people are 

 honest. Boodlers who have felt secure 

 and laughed public opinion to scorn have 

 gone to the penitentiary and others will 

 follow them. There is going to be an 

 end to grafting and boodling of every 

 sort. The people are in earnest. It has 

 got to stop. A man must be content with 

 the legitimate profits which accrue to him 

 as a result of his labors, or he will be 

 given an opportunity to look at the world 

 from the wrong side of the prison bars. 



Tne world is going along as rapidly as 

 is reasonable and is doing very nicely, 

 thank you.

 ence in handling problems in forestry in 

 the West. He will lecture at the college 

 half of each year on general forestry in 

 its application to Iowa conditions. The 

 other ralf of the year he will devote to 

 bureau work, for the most part investigat- 

 ing forest problems as they concern the 

 state of Iowa. — Forestry and Irrigation.

COURSE IN FORESTRY. 



The turning out 'of skilled foresters is 

 no inconsiderable part of the valuable 

 work of the Bureau of Forestry. No pro- 

 fession is so little crowded, and none offers 

 a more inviting field to the conscientious 

 and zealous student. That forestry, as a 

 science essential to the well-being of the 

 nation, is steadily growing in popular favor 

 is evidenced by the increasing number 

 of schools and professorships of forestry 

 that are established. The latest professor- 

 ship is that at the agricultural college at 

 Ames, Iowa, called the Iowa State Col- 

 lege. To fill this position it has chosen 

 Mr. Hugh P, Baker of the Bureau of For- 

 estry. Mr. Baker la a graduate of the 

 (Mirhl.can Agrlcnlniral College and the Yale

PROPOSED RESERVE IN WISCONSIN. 



Mr. E. M. Griffith, superintendent of the 

 state forests of Wisconsin, has requested 

 the land commissioners to withdraw from 

 sale, pending a detailed examination as to 

 their suitability for the purposes of a 

 forest reserve, some 24,000 acres of land 

 in Iron County, that state. The land being 

 considered adjoins some 10,000 acres of 

 forest reserve in Vilas County, and also 

 the Lac du Flambeau Indian Reservation, 

 which contains over 8O.OO11. making a total 

 of over 114.000 acres, all of which should 

 be protected from fire and logged conser- 

 vatively. Much of the Iron County area 

 is swamp and marsh land which should be 

 replanted to forest, provided that they can- 

 not be made fit for agriculture by proper 

 cultivation and drainage. Mr. Griffith is 

 having a careful examination made of all 

 these lands in order that he may report to 

 the legislature which should be retained 

 for reserve and which should be re-offered 

 for sale. Both the Department of Agricul- 

 ture and the Geological Survey of the 

 University of Wisconsin are assisting In 

 the work of examination and survey. —
