gress this winter for assistance in the work The Gov
ernment will be asked to establish national park
to include upward OF million acres OF land in the
Leach Lake Indian reservation and to maintain on it
forest under scientific cultivation.
Whether the Government accede to the desire Of
Minnesota not, the debate on the measure will
have the effect OF bringing the attention OF Con-
gress the importance OF forests and the i'm
perative need OF devsing some means OF protecting
them. 1t is not all likely, however that Congress
will undertake that supervision as part OF the work
OF the National Government The conflict OF inter
would be too confusing. 1t is as much as Con
gress do to handle river and harbor bill with an
approach fairness and economy. II all the States
were to enter into new rivalry to obtain grants and
appropriations for forest Senators and Rep
resenatives would hardly have time for ANYTHING
else than logrolling and making deals for appropria

Moreover, Congressional action, even if in the end
should be taken, will be long delayed 1t there

A VOICE FROM THE TRANSVAAL

I ! weekly published in the English language at

and controversies which have led up to the war be-
tween the Beers and the British were not caused by
the Beers or by the Uitlanders who went to the
Iransvaal to work. by the mining magnates of the
Rand, Each of those parties says the Mosquito has
good reasons for desiring peace The disturbance
has been started and fomented by another class OF
men altogether.
In leader headed "Plain Speaking the Mosquito

their Moses, the arch consprator Rhodes endcavor-

failed; the Cape Premiership was lost; the spoils
which they have cajolcd from the British public have
been squandered dernier resort these auda-
ciOus consprators are cndeavorng to use the great
British nation catspaw attain their ends. The
latest cry is the supremacy OF the English race
the Dutch in South Africa which certainly
sounds harsh from a conglomcrate people whose
racial mixture is its strongest point"
This view OF the situation which preceded the war
is interesting mainly because of the source from
which it comes II makes evident the fact that
proportion OF the English speaking Uitlanders at
johannesburg sufficiently strong to support first

all their troubles, and do look upon Kruger as an
oppressor. The Mosquito quotes with approval the
