TRIBUNE'S CIRCULATION.

/Vigo County, State of Indiana, &s: L. Halstead, business manager of Tlie Daily Tribune,

a newspaper published at Terre Haute, Indiana, does solemnly swear that to the best of his knowledge and belief the total number of copies of this paper printed and circulated during the month of November. 1002. was 204.475, making a daily average for twent.v-five issues of 8,175).

Democratic «b,ui)cUman Blood on Tuesday evening gave voice to a protest against the miserable condition of the streets of Terre Haute, a protest which The Tribune has been making for some time and which, is warmly endorsed by every one in the city. All the streets are filthy to an unsanitary degree and many of them are even dangerous. The city administration's sins of omission are no less glaring than are its sins of commission. If Mr. Blood can use his official position to effect a reform he will receive the gratitude of a suffering public.

THE ARMY CANTEEN

i-i.v. It would not be at all surprising if congress at this session 'rescinded its late action in abolishing the army canteen. The result lias been exactly opposite from what was expected by those insistent for the change and at every military post the evil effects' have been marked and glaring. Officers unite in protestation and Secretary Root in his report makes the fol lowing strong statement:

ain convinced that the general effect of prohibiting the IHO

of beer and iiglit wines within the limited area of the army post is to lead the enlisted men to go out, of the post, to fre ijiicnt vile rescrts "which cluster in the neighborhood, to drink bad whisky toi excess and to associate intimately with aban rfoncd men, and more abandoned women, and that the operation of the law is to increase drunkenness, disease of the most loathsome kind, insubordination and desertion and moral and physical degeneration." _, During the agitation made by the temperance people for the abolition of the canteen there were a number of army officers who mildly acquiesced in the crusade. They couldn't say that the canteen had done any particular harm but neither could th-y 9ee where it had done any good and consequently they were content to have it done away with. They can now see, '"\however, where it was an agency for good in that it prevented eViJ. The officers of the United States army are men of high v, character sound morals, and intelligence. When they practically a unit in favor of the re-establishment of the canteen it would seem that outsiders, who have no means of knowing what is for the best of the soldiers, would defer to their recommendations. It is to the personal advantage of the officers that the soldiers be sober and healthy and it can be taken for granted that they will not urge the adoption of an army regulation calculated to militate against wholesome conditions.

Evidence accumulates to prove that Sheriff Dudley dra liis prisoner Dillard from safety in Illinois to a sure lynching in Indiana in spite of the protests of that miserable wrctch and in defiance of the laws of our sister state. There is not a mitigating circumstance in the whole disgraceful transaction so far as that sheriff is concerned and instead of being reinstated in his office he should be prosecuted for violatiug the laws of Illinois.

The leaders of the Republican party without exception online the message of President Roosevelt to congress and it *JIOW seems assured that many of the suggestions made therein will rceive prompt and favorable attention. The Republican party is dominant, united, and has the public interests at heart. Under such conditions legislation favorable to the continuance of prosperity may confidently be expected."

MM announcement thatv170,000 railroaders of the northwest systems are preparing to demand a radical increase in wages is in nowise surprising. They can hardly be expected to lie quiet while all the boys in the east are being financially boosted. And it is hardly probable that their demands when oliee made will be ignored.

Dr. Ware, a member of Virginia's, legislature, has introduced a bill making it an offense punishable with a line for people to kiss each other without possessing eertificatcs of health signed by reputable doctors.' What an absurd law! Who's going to kiss and then run and tell about it?

While Oklahoma can show good cause why" sli4 "sliould be admitted to statehood, New Mexico and Arizona fall considerably short of the requirement. There are many reasons why they should not be admitted and about the only plea tn|lde in their ,Jjjehalf is based on sentiwent.

It is gratifying to know that Venezuela htift Anally been forced to pay her just debts and at the same time made to realize that the Monroe Doctrine, which she sought as a shield in debt dodging, was not enunciated for any such purpose. ,t

Tho Republican congressmen of every state except Maine have declared for Mr. Cannon as speaker of the house. Mr. Littleficld seems to be hugging a forlorn hope long after decomposition has set in.

What becomes of the money Terre Haute pays to have her jtreets kept clean and safe?

THE WIDE WORLD ROUND.

Western Forest Fires. $

The impression prevails throughout the United States that the recent forest fires in Washington and Oregon destroyed standing timber to the value of many thousands of dollars. That the contrary is true is based on conditions peculiarly interesting and native to the situation.

The fires covered fully fifty thousand'acres" in Washington, destroying woods, buildings, bridges, crops and stock. Loss of human life was small compared to the extent of the- fire, only thirty-three deaths being recorded. But the woods destroyed were the straggling remains of the forest left by the logging operations of a decade: large trees, to be sure, but waste lumber from the standpoint of the Puget Sound millman. In these woods were many clearings, where farmers had elected buildings and planted crops. These clearings, save the few which lay along running water or beside lakes* were swept clean of their contents.

To understand the condition which makes live fir Reproof, one must know that excessive dampness has brought Alie fir forests into existence, that it exists in these foests, and that ••Alien such condition of dampness is removed, either by cutting down the biggest trees or by the cutting of avenues through the woods, allowing tho sun's rays to penetrate where they never entered befor, the remaining firs die. dry out and become fit duel for any blaze that may be started. Thus live fir is always wet fir.

Timber men log any given tract of fir systematically, as a mowing machine cuts along the side of a field. Should alternate sections be cut down, the timber on the sections remaining would soon dry out, and die. thus becoming a total loss fiom the millman's standpoint. Should an enthusiastic forester cut only the big fiis and leave the" smaller ones standing, with the notion that they would thrive and grow, he would fail, unless the experience of Puget Sound loggers has been for nothing.

Logging crews are instructed to burn their waste timber as thev go, hut even in midsummer a logging crew must pile their waste and allow it several days in which to drv before it can be fired. This leads to carelessness, and permits an accumulation of piteliv lumber that sooner or later becomes a menace, to th* settler whose inheritance it becomes. T?ufc this emphasizes the fact that srreen fir, standing or felled, will not burn. Many settlers fled into the green fir timber during lhr recent, fires and were as safe there as if afloat on the sound.

Lord Rosebery's Lady Manager.

An entirely new and altogether delicious sensation is being imparted to British politics by the apparition of what our papers describe as "a female dues ex niachina," in the person of Lady Colebrook, who has taken the timid, halting, ellervescent, incalculable Lord of Dulmer.y in tow. and promises to de great things with him. Should this be really true, we are all to.be greatly congratulated and Lord Roseberv himself must have breathed a long sigh of relief when the gracious and gifted Lady Colebrook intimated to him that it would be her pleasant duty in future to make up his lordship's mind,—a matter which he has always found as hard as Hamlet, having also something of Hamlet's excuse, that he has agreat deal of mind, or at least a great variety of minds, to make up. The "female dues ex machina," or, to translate, "the goddess in the basket," Lady Colebrook, has many and great recommendations. To begin with, she has a high and unquestioned social position she has great personal charm, and a singularly winning voice,—an excellent thing in woman she has tow almost., if not quite, as charming American sis-ters-in-law, one a daughter of Afr. William C. Whitney. Further, this paragon among women is a sport of no mean qualifications, plays the races, and stays with the great and portentous duke of Devonshire for Derby day, and shines at Goodwood and -the Oaks, and such like gatherings. This is, doubtless, an irresistable attraction for the horsey lord of Dalmeny, who hopes once again to win the derby, as he hopes once again to be prime minister of England. In a postscript we must add that the gifted lady also has Sir Edward Colebrook, a worthy, shy person, whose days are spent in poring over musty tomes and dust-covered records of the past. We feel almost inclined to steal this occurrence in entirety, and build on it an English political novel.

THE PIRATE'S CORNER.

A Song of the Sea.

A mermaid sat on a moss-g«nvn rock, Sing I10! for the'belle of the sobbing seal' ,. She flipped a kiss at a jabben\ock,

And Girted her tail in glee. She flashed a smile at a circling auk And shook the spray from her scaly fooek And the sunbeams bunched in a prize cak'e-walk

On her tresses of filigree.

A merman swam to the rock's damp base, Sing ho! for the dude of the sad sea wave! And he swam around with aquatic grace And a word with the maid did crave. She smiled through the spume on her girlish face, And her brown oyes googled to fit the case, And she slid on the lock to make a placc

One arm encircled her =calv waist, Sing ho! for the gall that the fellow had! And the salt of her lips ho did boldly taste 1

And said it was not half bad. He told her a sweeter one never graced The shell-decked halls of the wild sea waste-^*^ --TNo maid niore lovely, no maid more chaste

From 'Friscci to Baliydad.

He praised the grace of her shapely tail, Sing lio! for the flatterer's pregnant lips! Admired the hue of each armoring scale

F.rom her neck to her tail-fin's tips. Her eyes were as liquid as Bass' ale, Her teeth did the Bea-pearl's glinting pale, Her lips were as pure a«s the sacred grail—

And their nectar again he sips.

The maiden listened as maidens will, Sing ho! for the ears of the trustful dove^ Ah sweet is the taste of I ho tempter's gill

UNION PRINTING.

Typographical Union Cites Numerous Cities Wherein it Has Been Stipulated in City Contracts. To the Editor of The Tribune:

In behalf of Typographical Union No. 76, In answer to the points made In the report and recommendation of the printing committee to the city council on the constitutionality of the union label ordinance, space Is asked to reply.

In the state of Illinois, where the city attorney bases his authority, the union label ordinance, notwithstanding the decision of the Circuit court (and not the Supreme court, as reported) tho cities of Biffin. Peoria, Rockford and Danville have ordinances and resolutions requiring said label on the city printing awl these are in full force. In the case at Alton preparations are now being made to appeal to the decision of the Supreme coyrt by the Alton union.

As to Information on the subject" not being furnished by the local union's committee will say: Each councilman was furnished a copy of "Label Legislation,'' published by the International Typographical union, and contained ordinances enacted by fourteen different cities, and resolutions adopted by twenty-two cities dem ndlng the union label on the city printing and among the several d^lslons and opinions as to the constitutionality of such a law, Judge E. L. Scarritt of the Circuit court of Kansas City, Mo., in the case of Lawton & Burknof vs. Kansas City, decided: "That city officials have the same rights as individuals to specify the nature of the work required, and that the union label ordinance was not class legislation, inasmuch as the right to bid on city printing was open to any one who could deliver the goods." "In the brief (ofi^c&fcndant) on which Judge •..decision in the above rfwm$ri«l' cape, h# passed on the following points: "There* is no ^discrimination against any printing establishment, and there is no reason why any one can not put himself in a position to compete for the work to be let. If they h-ve not done so, or will not do so. It is because they prefer not to do so. "Tho resolution does not discriminate against any firm or individual it is general in its terms and applies to all persons who may choose to conform to It. Eecause any person who may arbitrarily refuse to place himself in the position to comnete under a resolution or ordinance !t does not follow that the city is discriminating against him. He voluntarily excludes himself."

The charter of the city of Terre Haute grants the offlolals the power to make all contrqicts and do all other acts -in relation to the property and concerns of the city necessary to the exercise of its corporate or administrative powers, and accept whatever bid is deemed to be the moat advantageous to the city, and,-there-fore, if the council deem It advantageous by ordinance to require the kind and quality of stationery and printing they have the legal right to do so, just as they have the right to specify the kind of asphalt, brick or cement to be used in public construction.

DE BAUN MAY STICK

TERRE HAUTE REVENUE EMPLOYE HAS MUCH SUPPORT.

HE IS CONSIDERED CAPABLE

Treasury Department May Incur Displeasure of Civil Service Commission Rather Than Release Him. 1

A Washington special says: A '•The civil service commission, which has been laboring with the officials of the treasury department in an effort to secure the removal of B. T. Debaun from the revenue office at Terre Haute, has not succeeded in accomplishing anything and the situation is becoming interesting. Debaun was charged by the commission with helping to collect political assessments. The commission has been' bringing the matter severely to the attention of the treasury department recently but no action has been, taken. Debaun is regarded as a good man in the revenue service and it is probable that the treasury officials will incur the displeasure of the civil service commission rather than discharge him.

William Dudley Foulke, of the civil service commission, when asked about the eise, snid: "Tho civil service commission believes tlwt the food of the service demands that Mr. Debaun be dismissed. We have asked several times informally that lie be dismissed and we have just renewed that request."

Agrees With Mr. Bail. Terre Haute,

To the Editor of The Tribune: I saw in The Tribune of November 30 what W. C. Ball says about labor laws. His head is level on labor laws. I would suggest some change with regard to those who interfere and keep others from work. Let them be sent to the rock pile, made to work out their own fine, also made to stay and work out and pay for all dam^ age done by thom by their interference. The man who will get such a law on our statute books will immortalize his name.
