Ex State Treasurer J S Bartley who
was sentenced to a term of 20 years m
tho penitentiary for the embezzlement
of f201 000 of state funds was released
on 00 days parole by Governor Savage
Saturday night after having served
four years of his term Governor Sav
age claims to have an object in paroling
Bartloy which ho has not made public
and has imposed conditions which may
lengthen his parole indefinitely Whnt
the governors object was and what the
conditions imposed may be nmple suffi
cient for his action and until these ore
known it may be uufair to offer criti
cism For some time it has been quite
generany oeiievea mat Hartley was
made to suffer for tho wrong doing of
others and that not he but they were
theones who profited by his action If
this were true those who participated
in his crime aud derived the profit there
from should certainly share his punish
ment and his ignominy Thishowever
would be 6caut excuse for his pardon
rather the other guilty persons should
bo discovered and punished What
ever the governors objects in pardon
iug Bartley they Inust bo exceptionally
strong for the crime was no light tine
aud the sentence considered from facts
on the surface was not extreme The
public is so far interested in the case
that they would desire Bartley s punish
meat to be of such a nature as to put a
atop to further defalcations of public
officers If there i no punishment for
the crime there are many officers who
would take advantage of their position
to profit at the peoples expense and the
peoplo do not so much desire Bartleys
punishment as that others should be
deterred from following his example
reputed to be the largest single holder It is to be hoped that the governor may
be able to satisfy the people that
leys parole is deserved

Mr Bryan inconsistent I Well not
much of tenor than he speaks or seizes
his trenchant pen He is now scoring
the Ohio democrats because they didnt
come out boldly either for goldorBilver
If he could remember as far back as a
year ago he would realize that his Kan
sas Oity platform touched about as
lightly on the money question as was
possible and that the colonel himself
was very mute regarding rilver the
paramount itsueol the IfcWlsampaign
In his Indianapolis speech of acceptance
he made a wonderful tilea to have the
man placed above the dollar but
whether n gold or silver dollar was not
specified Quoting the gTeat leader s

to pull their feet out of the miro in
which their party has been lloundering

they do find it necessary to resurrect
the old mumified tariff issue It indi
cates that thoy aro coming to their

The forestry work of the department
of agriculture will no longer be con
ducted under the name division of
forestry having been advanced on
July 1 to the rank of a bureau along
with three other scientific divisions of
the depnrtment The forestry work of
tho department has made such wonder
ful strides and become of such import
to the country that it is with consider
able satisfaction that friends of the
work undertaken noto its advancement
That it has commended itself to congress
is evidenced by tho appropriations of
that body In 1S9S S 2S520 was set
aside for forestry development and pres
ervation During the year just ended
the division had 8SJ20 nt its disposal
and the lost session appropriated lSo
440 to tho work The change will ad
mit of a larger ofilce force in d more ex
tensive field work and the bureau will
be organized in thr e divisions The
work of this bureau is of pnrticular im
portance to Nebraska and other western
states that have immense nreaB of land
that could be ben ficinlly converted into
forests and it is to be hoped that the
bureau will consider this work of prime
importance Thero are millions of
acres of land that would be converted
into valuable property by planting it to
trees and the climnte of the west would
be immensely benefited thereby If
the state government corporations nnd
private individuals will co operato with
