THE Discomfort IN INDIA.

England's trouble in India continues
and grows more and more serious each
day. What its elimination will be no
one can tell. 1t may or it may not be
the case that EngIand's attitude to-
wards Turkey during the past two or
three years has caused the sultan to
stir UP discomfort among victoria's
Mohammedan subjects, though the very
friendly relations that have existed be-
tween Turkey and Russia during the
past u months would lend color to this
idea Commenting on this same sub
Ject the Philadelphia Ledger says:
Beginning with Warren HASTINGS in
IVA the governors general of India have
been beset with perDlexing problems
The population of india is estimated
at about 100000 GOO souls, of whom about

population of India is divided into us

200 000. 600 speak the Aryo-Indic tongue.
and 55,000,000 what is known as the
Drovidian. The English language has

New York Evening Post: Isidor Worm
ser, head of the banking house of l. & S.
Wormser, stopped in front of a fruit
ms. and selecting six peaches at a total
cost of 10 cents. ordered the Italian who
presided over the stand to put them in a
bag. Funbling in his pockets the banker
found that he had no change. He was not
embarrassed however. He reached for
the fruit saying:
I'm Wormser. Isidor Wornlser.
The Italian bowed pleasantly and
smiled as if glad to make the acquaint-
ance. but he held out his hand.
81 have no change" said the banker
there" and he pointed 10 the building
where his firm name was conspicuous.
Mr. Wormser had the peaches in his
hand now, and he turned to go away, but
the Italian seized his coat tail. and said
''Ide wanta de mon. You giva de mon

ed In 1896 of "a, 0S6 men, and the native
army of 1856 men. OF the officers
2,752 were native. In the Pun1ab dis
trict there were in the artillery 6.051
men; in the cavalry, Il, 1913; in the en-
gtneers, l04; in the infantry, 1883: mis-
cellaneous, 1872: total force, 6, 143, or
nearly three times the number Of men

States. This force appears formidable,
but in the event of a holy war" and
with the green banner of the prophet
exalted, it would be insignificant when
contrasted with the Monammedan
hordes which could be brought into ac-
ton
The restless feeling prevalent in In
dia is due not merely to the natural
dislike to the conquer0rs but also to
the insidious influence of Turkey and
the distress which has fallen upon the
land by reason of the plagues and the
failure of the crops. These foreign sub
jeets of the queen are a good deal like
the American farmer, who never

the responsibilities and vexations at
tendant upon policy of colonization.
The plague is largely the result ofthe
famine, and the famine is largely the
result of the closing of the minis. OF
course it is not pretended that there is
any relation between bad harvests and
the closing Of the minis but the clos
ing of the minis has caused a great
depreciation in the price of silver, and
the hoardings of the people Of India are
all in silver. In years Of famine they
must rely on these hoardings to pur-
chase food. and of course where the
value of the hoardings is diminished
there is a corresponding diminution in
the power to purchase. The connection
between much of the discomfort in In
dia and the closing of the minis is not
hard to trace.

A FORESTRY POLICY.

That this country is in need of a
forestry policy there is no doubt. but
the forests are not all gone. nor is the
case desperate as yet There is not
that care and solcitude for our forests
that there should be, but the case is
not so bad as John Muir made out in
the July Atlantic.
Mr. W. e. Curtis, who is now in Ger
many, writes to the Chicago Record
that Notwithstanding the demands of
centuries for timber and fuel, one
quarter of the German empire is today
covered with trees. When such cases
as these are cited it should be borne
in mind that the area of the German
empire is nothing like that of this
country, and that it is densely popu-
lated. 1t is the same with France and
other countries that have a well de-
fined forestry policy and maintain it.
In speaking of the destruction of Amer
lean forests it must be remembered
that their destruction in some of the
older states was an absolute necessity
that there might be farms Who has
not heard Of the clearing of the arms?
But the time has come when the gen
eral government and the states should
have fixed forestry policies; their best
interests demand it, and when the for
est reserves are set aside all feeding Of
fioclns and herds in them must be
stopped John Muir in his article in
the Atlantic Monthly, pointed out what
a destructive thing the herding of
sheep among the timber on the mount
ain sides is, and all who know the work
of sheep on mountains, how they crop
the grass so low that the hills are de-
nuded of their soil, Will agree with him.
The forest outlook in the United States
would be darker than it is were it not
for the fact that the forests. so readily
replenish themselves. so to speak. The
young trees spring up and are so thick
This is so in Oregon and California.
Recently gentleman who had been
in northern California told us he had
seen second growth timber that was
large enough to be manufactured into
lumber, and was being manufactured
into it. Even in our own canyons
young trees are again covering the
ground where all the trees were cut
down twenty and thirty years ago; but
these young trees need protection
everywhere. The time for protecting
the forest lands of the United States
has arrived. but things are not so bad
as some would have the people think.
