Forest Fire Losses.

The state of Washington has suffered
irreparable losses from forest fires. The
great dover OF this state is it's magni
ficent forests Of standing timber. Lum-
Der markets are opening to us in all
quarters of the world. and hundreds, of
millions of dollars will be paid to us
for our chief product. But billions OF
feet have been destroyed every year by
forest fires. We have grown accustomed
to those smoky days of late summer,
and look upon them as a natural phe
nomenon. They are the sign OF wan
ton destruction of valuable property.
Cities might be wiped out by confia-
grations with less loss to the people
than this annual devastation Of our
timber reserves.
The widest publicity should be given
by the press of this state to law re-
Gently enacted by congress to prevent
forest fires. and all OF our people should
be prompt to give information TO the
United States authorities when they be-
come cognizant Of any violation OF II.
BY this law 1t is declared a mlsde-
meanor. punishable by heavy fine and
imprisonment, when any person sets
fire to any timber, underbrush or grass
upon the public domain. or leaves fire
to burn unattended near any infam-
mable material. There is similar pun
ishment for any one who, having built
a fire in or near a forest on the public
domain, shall leave 1t before seeing
that 1t is totally extinguished. The fines
collected for the offense go to the public
school fund Of the county where 1t was
committed.
The crime covered by this law is pc
culiarly mean and indefensible. 1t Is
deliberate negligence, whose conse-
quences may be the needless destruc-
ton Of millions of value. For years to
come the forests of Washington will
furnish employment TO labor, attract
capital and bring to the state immense
and increasing returns. We have the
this country; and IL we husband II, 1t
will bring to us untold wealth. The
great danger and the great enemy is
fire; and most forest fires are easily pre-
ventable by the exercise OF ordinary
caution. 1t is to the interest of every
citizen, as well as his duty to the pub
lie. 10 assist In the strict enforcement
of these forestry laws.

President Diaz OF Mexico has been re-
elected and thanks the people for the
honor. He Is especially grateful that
his new lease Of power is conferred by
the unanimous will OF the nation. The
conditions were slightly different when
Diaz was first elected president under
constitution prohibiting the holding OF
the Office OF president a second term,
and IL was by no means the unanimous
viii of the people that changed the con-
stitution from time to time and per-
mitted him to remain at the head OF the
government year after year. But Diaz
has been the best president Mexico ever
had and no other executive would have
done as much for the country and Its
people as he has done. In making the
presidency life position for Diaz, how
ever, a precedent Is established which
some man less worthy than Diaz may
take advantage of with disaster to the
republic. Diaz is practically dictator
and 1t will be a long time before Mexico
can find a man intrusted with dictato-
rial authority who will govern as
wisely, Justly and honestly as Diaz has
done

From the number Of burglaries and
other crimes that have been chronicled
in Seattle within the past week or so,
II would appear that the lawbreakers
are piucking up courage again. 1t
would also appear that the check upon
them supposed to be exercised by the
police force IL far from satisfactory.
The people of this city have been both
generous and patient. They have ap-
proved every addition to police re-
sources: they stand ready to grant
whatever may be necessary for a thor
ough execution OF the laws. But they
also expect results and have a right to
expect them. The recent death Of
stranger in this city. and the action of
the police department In the same con-
nection seem to need explanation. II
explanation is possible. when burg
laries are committed at the rate OF four
in two days and no one il apprehended,
that need becomes ciamorous. Pledges
were made to the people last spring that
life and property would be made secure
in Seattle by a proper enforcement OF
the laws The people expect that prom
Use to be made good.

The ST. Paul Globe, the only Demo-
cratic daily paper published In the mid
die Northwest between Chicago and the
Rocky mountains, repudates fatty the
Democratic ticket and platform. Four
years ago the Globe bolted Bryan, and
supported Palmer and Buckner. Since
then II has labored earnestly for Demo-
cratic success and harmony. 1t has
supported ably the Democratic cause in
Minnesota, and did much to secure the
election Of fusion governor in
1898. Like many representatives Of
sound money. It desired only a possible
opportunity to support the Democratic
national ticket this year. After the
Kansas City convention had done It's
work. the Globe denounced 1t editorlally
az the repetition Of a crime. and de-
elared that II would not support the
nominees. The sacrifice which II Is
compelled to make for the sake OF prin-
clple entities It TO the highest praise
incidentally. its course gives no doubtful
indication Of what the Gold Democrats
are going to do this year.
