oeen the case in the Northwest to the
ex ;ent OF hundreds Of milliors Of ecree.
Mr.. Pinch0t has now apple atoms from
individuals desiring his aid covering
over o million acres Of timber land.
Mr. PiDchot states that il is not yet
possible to practice complete and ad-
vanced forestry, as understood in
Europe, which contemplates the plant,
ing OF forest trees and the removing of
useless timber; all that Can be accom-
plished at present is q modification of
the methods of tde Iumberman to the
extent Of emitting to cut all trees so
that enough Of q species shall be left
standing for seed purposes. a descrip
sion Of forest pres 9rvation in Bohemia,
Just received at the State Department
from Consul Mahip, bears on this sub
oct and shows the possibilities of scien
tiic forestry. Bohemia, says Consul
Mahin, sis one of the most popuIous
countries on the globe. It's climate is
relatively cool, with rather severe win,
tiers. Therefore much fuel is used and
it is taken largely from the forests
which cover the mountain sides. Yet,
after the many centuries during which
these forests have furnished fuel and
building material for a dense popula-
ton, they retain nearly their primeval
area. This is due to the torethought
of the government in ordaining that as
trees we're cut down others should be
planted to fill the vacancies. Vast
stretches Of dense forests cover tho
mountain slopes OF this district Trees
are constantly beingcut, but wherever
a clearing is made, small trees are
planted the next spring. What at a
distance may appear to be a bare spot
in the forest, is seen, on near view, to
be covered with little trees, set out in
symmetrical rows and varying in
height according to the length of time
since they we're planted. These new
trees are raised from seed in small en-.
closures scattered among the noun
tains and are thence transplanted."

ALLIANCE NOTRsCLIPPED FROM

As a rule farmers sell in the cheapest
market and buy in the dearest Mem
bers of the Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union do not all do that. At
present it is not always that you can
get retail prices for your goods,
but you can at least purchase the
most of your goods at wholesale.
We ordered a bale of Irvine to come
by express, paid charges of one dollar
and saved dollar on the deal, over
home prices.
Ny fellow farmer, don't complain of
hard times until you have exhausted
all the means of economy, in your
method of purchasing your family
supplies.

standing armies, increased ]appropria'

war. To these things we 7 opposed,
hence we are opposed to manifest des

not give the inhabitants of the Phil

that they are not capable. And il we
do not give them self government, we

WE CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY.

It is the most diff cult thing we ever
tried to dove mean, to please every
body. Last week, while we were CON
sidering a letter from a dear brother,
stating that The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
had gone Republican, the mail came
and in it was a letter from another
brother who held THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER largely to blame for the re,
cent Democratic victory-said that we
said bad things about the es5legisleture
and about fusioniets who broke their
pledges and thereby gave the Demo
Gratis much campaign thunder. And
even in campaign rialos, we attacked
several Fusionist politici2ns-S. B.
Adams, Wetmore, Pearson and Rev.
J. 7. Phillips, for instance.
We suppose these t"o brethren
have a right to their opinion, but for
the consolation of the latter we'l say
that if the next Legislature breaks it's
pledges as did that OF 1897, we have
plenty Of hard things to say aoout it
also.

IMPERIALISM

The question of imperialism" is
still a living one. Representative
Wallace last week introduced into the
General Assembly of Alabama, q joint
resolution extoiling the brilliant
achievements Of tie American army
and navy in the recent war, declaring
the purpose Of the war to have been to
give a down trodden people liberty,
and not to acquire territory, and re
solving that the Assembly instruct Ala
bama's r representatives. in Congress to
use all honorable mean to defeat any
measure that would seek to annex to
this government any territory not con.
tinguous to the United States. Toe
resolution was referred to the commis
tee On rules and promises topreclpitate
a lively fight.
And there is D3Wey. President
Brown, of Norwich University, has
received a personal letter from the
Admiral, under date Of October Sd,
IN which he says:
Il trust the entire archipelago will

AGE OF WARSHIPS

Some scientist has figured it out that
the average life of a battleship in &C
tive service is about fifteen years. OF
course the scientist may be mistaken.
Scientists like doctors, fire 1ently dis.
agree. Some other fellew may an.
nounce pretty soon that the average is
not less than forty or fifty years.
After all, the length OF Tina a battle
ship may do service depends upon the
care taken of it. If they are allowed
to stand out in all sorts of weather they
will soon collapse. B~attleships should
be taken in the house on cold nights.
Then, too, there are other things to

These are some of the really great

I'M PERIALISM M.

1t is reported says Farm, Stock and
Home, that President McKinley's west
ern trip decided him to declare square
~ for an imperial policy, because a
noisy demonstration Of approval was
made to every reference TO That policy.
For President McKinley's cake it is
hoped he has been miEquoted; the
nois9 made by a crowd largely com,
posed OF personal admirers and pRrtI-
sans is a poor foundation TO base a
new far reaching and revolutionary
policy of government upon, and a man
who has been in public life az long as
the President has should know this
and estimate it accordingly. It noise
and enthusiasm were an intallible indi.
cation of public sentiment Mr.. Bryan
would noW be president, for few men
ever created the popular enthusiasm,
excitement and apparent approval and
support that he did.
Now is q time when the referendum
would be OF Incalculable value. II it
were possible to get a direct vote On
the question Of territorial expansion,
ana nave the question considered en-
tIrely apart from partisan politics, the
nope Of q speedy settlement Of the
question could be eeasona0ly enter
Uained. For after all the rpreadeagleism
and oratoric8l flights about u duty
toward the islands Of the sea-" and
''Our flag must never be lowered when
once it foats," is stripped from the
question it comes at last to this: That
our first, highest, most pressing duty
is to cur own people. The starved
miners Of Illinois and Pennsylvania {;
the pinched, dull, colorless, grinding
lives Of the weaver at Fill Rlver and
other mill towns; 5he relief and upllft
ing Of the worthy poor Of our great
cities; the securing of a fair share Of
the profit Of his labor to the worker;
the breaking down Of corrupt political
rings, and destroying the political
power OF corporate wealth, are mucn
more vital questions and concern Us a
thousand fold more deeply than the
late Of Cuba or the Philippines; and if
a policy of expansion, however much
1T may tickle our vanity, will take our
Thoughts away from these and analogus
subj cEs, and delay the correct settle
menJ OF ali great domestic questions,
then that policy is externally wrong.
This Is not a question to be settled by
noise, clamor and excitement Of assem-
bled mobs, but by the study and
thought Of an Intelligent CIT zensbip.
finally made operative through the
referendum.
