Pmchot’s fnendalnp for Theodore Roosevelt be- cme dramnhcnlly apparent when he went to Eu- Tope, after the colonel’s return from his big game hunt in Africa, and acquainted him with details concermng the then tense ‘Ballinger-Pinchot nfl‘mr It will be remembered that Pinchot intervened to save natural advan'-lgel, such as forest, mine and waterpower, to the benefit of the people, and that he was a champlon for the people was demon- strated to the uhs‘-chon of Hoosevelt, who re- gurded him as a cloge and valuable associate. After havipg taken little active part in a promi- nent way in pnlmcs for several years, he now comes forward to become the chief executive of Pennsylvama I he is as ambitious as in days gone by, he will find plenty to do to improve con- ditions in ‘that . strike-stricken, ‘scandal-generating cnmmonwgguh. In view of the fact that the Republican organi- zation of Pennsylvania opposed him, and the fur- ther fact that Mr. Pinchot makes no claim to abil- ity as a platform orator, his sole campaign re- solved itself into the question as to whether the voters have confidence in what he has done and may be expected to do. r. Pinchot himself gives much credit to the women for his nomination. None too strangly, the women, up to date, have most frequently been on the right side when it came to voting on im- portant propositions. It is up to Gifford to show that the women again made no mistake. — PUSSYFOOT CONVINCED In the old days when Pussyfoot Johnson used to come to Bemidji with an Indian treaty under his arm and a look of determination in his eye, only m WEEKLY PIONEER—Twelve Ww i ‘a few of our nafivu understood the real ambition that was gnawing at his heart. Said ambition only wag to skin John Barleycorn alive, no matter in" what country or under what alias he might be found—and Pussyfoof insists that is just what is hkmg place. Says Pussyfoot: “The hour for the final execution for the arro- gant and wicked liquor traffic is at hand it must get off the face of the earth just as did the evils of human slavery and piracy on the high seas, the ancient practice of skinning alive prisoners of war and burning heretics in oil. The cohesive power of public plunder is mighty and the struggle will be ma’t,‘ but there can be but one outcome. The liquor traffic must pass away, and take with it the vast welter of human misery that it creates.” “ATl Tight, Pussyfoot, we'll take your word for it.
