The tales told about the ineficiency of
vaccination, or of evil results following its
performance are gross lies, as every man
knows who has read the history of small
pox in Europe and America. Before vac
cination was enforced the ravages of small
pox were frightful. but they are frightful
today only in ignorant South American
countries whose ecclesiastics inflame the
ignorant populace to evade and resist
vaccination. The popular impression that
smallpox il. as rule, fatal
disease, or that it is usually fol.
lowed by personal Disagreement is with.
out foundation. In the rural districts of
the province of Quebec where it is COM
mon it Is not feared, and when the patient
is protected by his nurse from taking cold
fatal cases are rare. 1t does not compare
in fatality when treated by competent
hands with diphtheria, scarlatins or
typhoid fever. 1t is not uncommon in
Ireland and Canada for q peasant woman
to bring whole family through smallpox
without calling . doctor. Its ravages
among Indians years ago were due to their
neglect of precautions against taking cold
and their filthy habits of life and diet
which promoted . malignant form of the
disease

them. 1t Is fair conclusion to reach.
therefore, in view of the present state of

The announcement that Representative Ros-

tional church last evening attracted q crowd
that filled the big auditorium OF that edi6ce
from the choir loft to the doors. It was the oc-
casion OF Q union meeting OF all the churches to
discuss tobacco in its physical. legal, moral,

Mr. Roscoe was the next speaker, and very fat

platform. In acknowledging the courtesy OF the
ministers in inviting him to address q union
meeting, he observed that he was never In pull.

informed that 40.0oo. 900 cigarettes are smoked
annually in the state Of Washington. and

declared he would give $500 toward enforcing

him to put an emergency clause on the bill, 80
that he might arrest his own brother, who was
killing himself with cigarettes. Mr.. Roscoe
averred that he had made q most thorough ex-

the bill, and thus satisfied himself Of its consti.

At the close OF his brief address, the speaker,

There appeared in yesterdays Tacoma
Ledger dispatch purport,ng to come from
Port Townsend, wherein the statement
was made that United States Attorney
Winston had been requested to prosecute
Deputy United States Marshal Jones in
the Federal court for working what is
known as the slip ballot trick" and had
refused 70 do % owing to great pressure
brought to bear. Mr.. Winston brands
this statement As absolutely false.
According to Mr.. Winston's state
ment. published in another column,
no charge against Deputy Marshal
Jones was ever presented to him,
nor was any charge against him ever
brought to his notice, nor in fact vas Mr..
Jones ever charged with the violation of
any United States statute. This attempt
to blacken the character of Federal off,
cial OF high standing by the invention of
ridiculous and malicious falsehood will
not produce the desired result. The
creatures who are engaged in it seem to
forget that Mr.. Cleveland will doubtless
appreciate the true character of the men
who would stoop to such disreputable
methods.

PRESERVATION OF OUR FORESTS.

The act of March 5. 1891, for repeating
the old timber law. authorized the presi-
dent to set apart as . reservation any pub
lie land wholly or in part covered with
trees. Under this act the government has
reserved from destruction two great tracts
in Wyoming adjoining the east and south
fronts of Yellowstone park. The agere-
gate area of these belts is close upon l. 240,-
900 acres. In Ell Paso county. Colorado.
1884, 800 acres were set apart as Pixies Peak
reserve; in Douglas county La. 100 acres.
as Plum Greek reserve; in Routt, Rio
Blanco. GarAeld and Eagle counties, fine
area of 1,lSs.osO acres. the White River
reserve. Turning to New Mexico, Secre-
tary Noble formed the Pecos river reserve
of 81, 040 acres. and then in Utah, .
splendid reservation Of 100000 acres.
more than twice the size OF Rhode
Island, along the grand canyon Of
the Colorado. In California under this
same act the Sierra reservation, of over
4000, 600 acres. or more than the states OF
Connecticut and Rhode Island combined,
has been set apart. Itstretches southwark
along the mountain ranges, from tho
Yosemite park including SeQuoia and
Grant parks, and includes within its limits
the sources of the water supply of tho San
Joaquin valley. In California two other
timber reservations have been formed
which cover the region from Los Angeles
eastward to San Gabriel, including nearly
100000 acres. and the other, San Ber-
nardino. 100000. In Oregon . timber re-
serve OF 142 ESQ acres at Mount Hood il set
apart. while in the state of Washington
there was established the Pacific reserve,
of about 10000 acres, around Mount
Rainier.
The New York Sun cites these facts and
gives full credit for this great work to ex-
President Harrison and Secretary Noble
In these words of warm praise:
Here. then, we have an aggregate, including
the tract last named. OF about II COO 000 acres OF
tree-growing lands, recovered aud preserved by
executive action, within . space Of two years,
under the law OF 1891. This means not only the
saving Of picturesque regions from destruction.
but the preservation of the forest coverings OF
the watersheds from which regions otherwise
arid and waste now derive fertility. It 10 great
and honorable work.
