President Roosevelt has been
criticized for assisting Taft in
securing the nomination for
president. It was a case of have
to. If the president had not
boosted for Taft or someone
else the republicans would have
named him again. He had to go
out of his way to work for an
other man in self defense.
In his columns the editor of
The Chicago Socialist says :
'The socialist party is a politi
cal party. It wants votes. It
wants a majority of the votes.
It wants the offices. It wants
political power. " That isn't
much different from the other
parties ,
While on his recent visit to the
White House , W. J. Bryan per
haps made some mental calcula
tions on the changes in the
building , but he might better
have saved his mental forces for
something more tangible.
Foraker and other opponents
of Taft are now howling for a
third term for Roosevelt- and
hope to stampede the Chicago
convention for the man in the
White House.1 T.hey don't love
Roosevelt but they hate Taft
more.
The custom ot giving showers
to girl friends about to be mar
ried is becoming rather expensive
for .some society girls and they
are forced to get married them
selves to get even.
Someone has declared" that no
man had a Created desire to be
president than James G. Blainc.
The man who made that state
ment certainly never heard of
one Colonel Bryan.
President Taft is hopeful for
the completion of the Panama
canal in three years. If his view
is correct some of the "knockers"
will have to Change their tune.
With North Carolina going
dry there will be more truth to
that famous remark of the gov
ernor of that state to his friend ,
the executive of South Carolina.
Tke Forest Reserve.
In speaking of the Forest Re
serve it may be regarded by some
as an exageration. The definite
article The in a sense would not
be correct , as , there are everal
Forest Reserves in the United
States under the control of the
government and three in Nebras
ka.
ka.Yet the one to which we refer
is the government Forest reserve
located at Halsey , Neb. , fifty
miles west of Broken Bow on the
line of the B & M. railroad.
This Forest Reserve is not as
suppose by some , a body of tim
ber set apart by the government ,
iu order to preserve the forest.
The facts are the reverse. It
is a treeless waste. There is
practically no native timber on
the tract. It is located between
the Middle Loup and Distua }
rivers and includes 85,000 acres
of rolling prairie , a large per
cent of which is bluffs of sand
with small valleys intervening.
For some time the Halsey
forest Reserve has been the lead
ing one of the nation. It has
now attained the reputation of
being the largest plant of its
kind in the world. It has past
the experimental stage and is
now growing trees by millions.
About ten acres is used for
seed beds , each of which arc six
feet wide and sixty feet long ,
with walks between them.
These beds are protected from
the hot rays of the sun with lat
tice covering. The seed is sown
in these beds broadcast where
they are cultivated until they are
large enough to trans plant tc
other plats where they are set la
rows where they can be bettei
cultivated and their roots more
fully developed. After the plants
have iu this way been developed
sufficiently , they arc taken up1
and placed in cold storage for
transplanting into the forest.
In placing them in cold storage
the plants arc stacked iu bales
thirty inches in diameter and
four feet high , circular or coned
shaped , with a hollow through
the center filled with moss. The
roots all pointing inward , the
tops only being exposed to the
air. At the present time they
have 800,000 in storage and ready
for shipment to other reserves
or for transplanting upon their
own grounds ,
Something of the amount of
labor required can be understood
when we are informed that four
million pines arc growing in the
beds at this time and that 200-
000 trees have been transplanted
to the forest this spring.
Besides the Halsey , plant has
grown and shipped to other forest
Reserves in the United States
about 650:000 : for transplanting ,
this spring Of this number 33-
000 were shipped to Idaho , 32-
000 to Pikes Peak , Colorado ;
200,000 to Garden City , Kansas ,
250,000 to Texas and some 50-
000 to the other two plants of
this state. These are all pine
trees and consist of several vari-
ties , but the jack and yellow
pines are the leading kinds.
In transplanting to the forest
they aim to set about 2000 to ttie
acre. Only the north and east
slopes are being used at the pres
ent time as the trees grow and
do better , than they would if
planted on the south and west
slopes of the hills. As the trees
will begin to produce seed at the
age of five years it is estimated
that after the east and north
slopes of the hills are well set In
timber that the intervening
space on the south and west will
become seeded from the bearing
trees.
Supt. Mast who is in charge of
the plant has had seven years ex
perience in this line of work and
is posted. He practically is the
head of the Department. He has
from 15 to 40 men under him and
has full liberty and ordering sup
plies , labor and paying for the
same.
He is of genial disposition and
takes pleasure in explaining the
details of the work to strangers.
He is thoroughly imbued with
the importance of the work in
. .which hens engaged and he takes
great pleasure in explaining it to
others , Should any of the read
ers of the Republican have time
to take a day off and visit the
Forest Reserve we are sure the y
will be kindly recieved and never
regret the day thus spent.
The First Chnutauqua.
The original Chautauqua at
Lake Chautauqua , N. Y. was
founded thirty-two years ago by
Bishop Vincent and has served as
a model for perhaps a thousand
Chautauquas throughout the
states and territories.
These Chautauquas bring to
the communities in which they
are located the best men of the
pulpit , press and platform as well
as the best entertainers and
musicians that the county af
fords.
The programs are calculated
to reach all classes of people.
That this is a proven fact is
shown by the great demand the
country over by wide awake com
munities for these summer as
semblies.
Ex-Senator Jones Dead.
Former United States Senator
Jauics K. Jones , of Arkansas ,
died a his residence in Washing
ton , D. C. , Tuesday after
noon after an illness of a
few hours , age 69. He was one
of the leading Democrats in his
home state from 1885 to 1893 and
was one of the strongest support
ers of William J. Bryan , 'having ,
as chairman of the Democratic
natiohal committee , conducted
the campaigns of 1896 and" 1900.
Since leaving the Senate in 1903 ,
he has conducted a law practice
in Washington and has not
actively engaged in politics.
Questions Answered.
The past , several - subscribers
scribers ha\Pe asked questions of

siderable research we , are able to

Sunday Base Ball. -
The RupunucAN has received
an anonymous communication
protesting against Sunday base
ball. The writer evidently
wanted to keep in the back
ground and did not sign his
name , hence the communication
was introduced to the waste
paper basket. Strange it is that
some people will never learn that
articles sent to a newspaper will
not be published unless the writer
gives his name.
There arc many honest differ
ences of opinion on Sunday base
ball , To some people of a relig
ious disposition the idea of any
form of amusement on Sabbath
is objectionable , They regard
public ball games as a sacrilege
and such contests violate all their
ideas of what is right from a
moral and conventional stand
point.
Many other people just as law
abiding as the first believe there ,
is no harm iu Sunday baseball.
They contend the sport to be
healthful and sane. They insist
that young men will seek some
form of diversion on Sunday af
ternoons and consider baseball
preferable to beer sessions , poker
games and frequenting dives.
In this connection the follow
ing , published in the Herald at
Albert Lea , Minn. , while not
necessarily convincing to oppon
ents of Sunday baseball will
show , to some extent , the present
day sentiment on the matter :
One of the features of a-ball game here
Sunday afternoon was an address by
Rev. Albert II. Muller , rector of the
Episcopal church. The divine spoke
just before the game was called.
In giving his response why he was at
the ball game he said that there was an
old conventional idea that it was a sin to
go to a baseball game on Sunday , that a
game 01 uase uan on cuuuay was con
trary to religion. He believed , he said ,
that if the Master whom he was trying
to serve , was on earth today He would
be the first one to the ball game , # s he
was in sympathy with the man and
human nature. He , therefore , felt him
self justified iu being present. He hnd
been asked if he believed in Sunday
baseball and he replied that if anybody's
conscience was hurting them because
they were present at a Sunday baseball
game , they had belter go home. The
time is past when people can be made
good by law. Many men work hard all
week and Sunday is their only day of
rest and holiday , and they want to be
out of doors , and this was especially
true of the young men. Mr1. Mullen was
enthusiastically applauded at the Aclo3f
of his address and he promised 'to deliver
another sermati next Sunday.
