past the General Agent OF the Associated Press re-
tires to-day from that position, and will be succeed
ed by Mr. j. c. lueSton, formerly representative of
the association at London. The energy and skill
with W ich Mr.. SimOuton has discharged the duties
of his position have been characteristic of him in all
parts of his career a a journalist. He was for a
number of years promin mt and successful Wash
ngton correspondent and formed relations of inti-
mate friendship with many distinguished pubic
men. He subsequently became interested in two
daily newspapers of San Francisco The Cal and

management. and still retains his proprietary con-
nectOn with them OF his administration as Cen
eral Agent of the Associated Press it can only be
said that there are few positions in journalism
where sound judgment quick APP recitation of news
and executive ability are more necessary, and that
he has made an abundant display of all these quail
ties. Ii is understood that Mr. Smonton retires i'm

correspondent who, with a mOlesty quite
unusual, desires that his letter may not be pub
lIshed, writes interesting suggestions TO
THE TRIBUNE concerning the prevention OF forest
fires. He says the Indians as he found while living
among them. make practice of burning over the
ground OF their forests once year, regularly as
a farmer ploughs his land. The heat from these
annual burnngs is not great enough to nIure, much
less consume the trees but the flames clean up the
ground of dead leaves and rubbish, destroy bugs
and worms, and kill the germs of malaria. The
accumulation of dry leaves, twlgs, mosres and
fallen timber correspondent thinks. is the
cause of great forest fires such those which have
just ravaged whole counties in Michigan and de-
stroyed hundreds of human lives. Ii the woods
were systematically burned over every year in the
Indian fashion, there would be no possibility of an
accidental fire gathering Roadway enough to be-
come a destructive conhagratiOn. Some year of
drouth, he fears, will the Alleghanies and
other timber stronghods swept bare the
Tyrian rock. "Then the rainfall will cease; then
the Nation. History testifes that nations have
perished from the earth when their forests per-
ished." One remedy which occurs to our cores
pondent for the distinctions of our forests by fire
and by the rapacity of the lumbermen, who cut
down the trees but plant none in their stead to
supply the coming generation, is the appointment
of a National Commissioner of Forestry a man
who knows and loves the life-giving woods, and
who would travel from State to State section to
section. forest to forest" protecting the timber
lands of the country
Whether n Government officer could accomplish
much toward saving our forests from destruction
without interfering with the right of property
owners to do as they please with their own. may be
fairly questioned, hut there can be no doubt about
ihe benefit of such discussion of the influence of
woodlands upon rainfall and general climatic con-
dtions will cnlightcn pubhc sentiment the
subject. Local laws, and still more local customs,
may be of greater avail than Congressional legsla
ton t. check the process Of forest determination,
which is going on at alarming rate in the older
settled sections of the Union. Congress has how
ever. done good work in encouraging tree planting
on the Western praries. When our rural commu-
mites less antagOuistic and more cooperative
ana fraterna we shall pl lobably see every township
and preserve forest for the common benefit
of ITS inhabitants Just many of the Swiss COM
munes Go now That would solve tine problems of
climate and timber supply involved in the mainte-
nance of woodland tracts. The proportion of

sections of the country to obtain the best climatic
conditions for health and agriculture would be

the Democrats signing the call would
