MIR. Coke and the interviewer.

The late ex-senator Coke of Texas,
though as rule a taciturn and reserved
man, had a sense of humor and was some
thing of a diplomat, says the New York
Tribune. Shortly after his appearance in
the Senate, years ago, he was approached
by a newspaper correspondent for an in
terview on a leading question of that day.
The request had come from the home Of
flee, as the correspondent explained.
sit down, my young friend" said Mr..
Coke, "and tell me, the first thing, if
can trust you"
The correspondent said pleasantly that
he regarded himself as a safe risk
"Why 1 ask that continued the sena-
tor, with smile, 'is because l have a
confession to make. don't know much of
anything about the question you mention,
but 1 can't afford to admit that to your
newspaper. 1 take this request for my
views as a compliment I'm new man
on the scene, and an interview in as prom
inent a paper as yours will help to intro
duce me. I ought to have some views.
What do you know about the question:
The correspondent replied that he had
read the bills recently introduced bearina
on the subject had listened to speeches
in advocacy of them, and So forth.
The senator's face lighted UP. My
young friend. do you want this interview
right away?'
mo, sir. 1t goes my mail. Tomorrow
will do"
"Then you go and get copies of some OF
those bills and of a few of those speeches,
and bring them here and Wen have a con-
versation."
The correspondent agreed to this, and
left the senator. Il was an amusing ex.
perience, but an agreeable one, because
of the frankness of the senator and his
cordiality.
The correspondent returned in an hour
with a bundle of papers, and he and the
senator went over them together The
senator would put in a word, and then the
correspondent would put in a word. Fin
ally, the senator said:
Now, you go home and write out the
interview and bring the copy here"
This also the correspondent did, and
upon his return his greeting was a cordial
one. Senator Coke read the story twice
over, repeating portions of it aloud and
then handing it back, said:
my young friend, we work in double
harness together admirably. That is all
right, and you can send it on 10 your
paper. Now, you stand up for me and I'll
stand up for the interview"
The story was well displayed in print,
ard it established a friendship between
the senator and the correspondent which
continued to the end

II has been calculated by the forestry di-
vision Of thehgricultural department that
the consumgtion Of timber in this coun-
try is equal to $50 cubic feet per capita;
that IL, that every man, woman and child
in the country uses (nominaIly) per year
that muchAImber. This includes the wood
used as fuelas well as that used as build
ing material In Great Britain the use of
timber am6ints to IS cubic feet per capita.
1t should be borne in mind that, while
we use so great a quantity, we do not
use all that is cut from our forests; we
ship extensively to foreign countries.
How long Will our forests last under this
immense depletion? They do not repro
duce per year anything like one-hah of
the timber that is taken away from them.
The white pine forests of the north and
northwest are now approaching the point
at which 1t win be necessary to protect
them with restrictive laws. What of our
southern forests? Our pines are among
the most valuable of forest growths, and
there are millions of acres of them. But
how long can that be said if the rate of
destruction which obtains at present is
kept up? Coniferous trees are of slow
growth. II takes a Georgia pine forty or
fifty years-maybe more-to attain to full
growth. There is no doubt that many Of
the monarchs of the Georgia woods which
rear their heads into the clouds are
century ole. Where is the growth that
will take the places of these trees when

Nothing is being done to foster the new
growth of trees. on the other hand in
many sections the new growth is destroy
ed every year by burning over the
woods" in order to secure q growth of
grass for cattle.
Prof Fernow of the agricultural depart
ment estimates that within twenty-five
years, if the present rate of forest destruc-
ton is KEPT up our forests win be prac-
tically denuded, except in reserve spots,
and that we. will De reduced to the neces-
sity of limiting our timber consumption
to about the per capita rate of Great Bri-
tain a. present His calcula ton, however
takes no account of the climatic and me-
neurological changes that win be made by
the destruction of the forests. The cy-
clones, and the floods and droughts of the
west, are traceable, in considerable meas
ure, to the forest destruction, or at least
lack of forests. in that section. When our
forests are gone, and we are suffering
from recurring disastrous storms, and
floods, and droughts, it will be too late to
wish we had been more appreciative of
the trees

The republicans are now almost out Of
the woods with their tariff bill. The more
important schedules have been passed by
the Senate, just as they were arranged by
the finance COMMITTEES. The few changes
which have been made are unimportant.
as compared with the bill as a whole The
completed bill will be much nearer to the
Mckinley law than was the Dingley bill
1t win be about such a measure as the
President himself would probably have
written if he had been charged with the
preparation of a new tariff.
Win the Senates bill become law? There
can be hardly a doubt of it. The House
will move to disagree, as a matter Of
course. and the bill will go into conference
committee. Some Of the House repubh-
cans whose constituencies have not got all
they wanted will make a great blow and
splurge, the Senate will make one or two
Insignificant concessions, for the sake of
appearances, and the House committee
will advise the parent body to recede from
any additional demands which may be
pending. Speaker Reed viii then take the
matter IN hand and the House will do
precisely as he wants it to do. 1t is his
pleasure to have the bill passed-it has
been said that he likes the Senate measure
better than the one which was sent over
from the House-and he will pull the wires
so as to make it 90 through as though
it had been literally instead of only fig
uratively creased.
There have been during the past few
days rumors of a bolt by certain republic
can senators, who are dissatisfied, when
it comes time to vote upon the final pass
age Of the bill But the probabilities are
that the bolt will not develop. The re-
publican bosses have got their followers
too well ia hand to permit of any such
thing. The President has not disposed
of much patronage yet, the senators know
it, and are keeping themselves strictly in
the line at the pie counter. The confidence
of the administration representatives in
the Senate in their ability to hold a ma
jority IN line is evidences IN their manner
of handling the bill They ha1e hardly
to defend it. Whenever the
democrats have denounced its provisions
as outrageous and designed for the pur-
pose of robbing the people. the republicans
have seemed to plead guilty by their ST
lence, relying upon the solidarity of the
caucus to secure the passage of the bill.
The new tariff will probably be a law
before the middle of August, in which
event it will have fully a year to run be-
fore the opening of the next congressional

have an opportunity to express themselves
