THE FORESTRY CONGRESS

The next session of the Forestry con-
in the Yosemite valley. For this graft
flying result the thanks of the people are
due Mr.. Abbot Kinney, who has worked
increasingly to accomplish it. The sug-
gestion that the congress be invited here
was his, and he never lost sight of 1t un-
til the formal notification of acceptance
was received.
The members of the congress will not
regret their session in California. There
is no state in all the wide Union that will
interest them more along the lines for
which the congress was organized. 1t
is getting so that the Pacific coast is the
only real forest country in the United
States. The congress will get ideas that
will help it in the great work still in its
incipiency. of making the American peo-
Pile understand the Importance, the
absolute necessity not only Of pre-
serving what forests we now have,
but of restoring those that are gone, to
an extent that will conserve the water
supply and prevent the timber Of the
country from becoming as nothing.
Forestry is science that will do a
great deal toward Saving the country"
and those who are interesting themselves
in it at the present time, when it is a
burdensome and almost a thankless task
to do so, are genuine public benefactors,
whose merit and good influence will
time, let US make the members of the
congress glad they came. when they set
foot within the hospitable confines of
California.

Governor Leedy's political advisers are
bringing pressure to bear upon him to
call a special session of the Legislature at

yards to vote of the people. Leedy Is
not likely to undertake it. State stock

issues in the campaign just closed: They
We're settled by the voters. Should Leedy
attempt to saddle them onto the people
after they have spoken so emphatically

that the governor will not heed the ad-
vice of his associates.
Should extra session adopt radical
Populist legislation. the regular session Of
the legislature in January could not re-
peal it because of the fact that the hold
over SENATE is strongly POpulist.
