PROTECTION OF FORESTS.

The decision of federal judge that
the act authorizing the secretary of the
interior to make regulations for the pro-
lection of forest reserves is unconstitu-
tional, because, in effect, it delegates
legislative power to an administrative
officer, may be good law, but it outrages
common sense and is mischievous in its
consequences. It throws the forest re-
serves open to the sheep men and defeats
the very purpose for which the reserves
were made. Unless regulations for the
protection of forests can be enforced,
the water saving capacity of the
reserves will be destroyed, and calamity
will surely come to the agricultural
regions adjacent. If the decision stands,
Congress must legislate directly and
adequately for the preservation of the
forests, and do it promptly.-Philadel-

THE LATE SENATOR DAVIS.

The late Senator Davis will be long
remembered as notable instance of q
man in public life who never stopped to
the tricks of the demagogue. He took
the position he believed to be right,
whether it was "smart politics" or not.
This was brought out in his attitude
toward the Porto Rican tariff bill. His
advice had been instrumental in in
ducing the president to write his "plain
duty" message to congress. Later,
when the protectionist interests forced
the republican party to levy tariff on
Porto Rican products, Senator Davis
fought the measure. and was one of the

SERvATIvE has
urged the practicability of taking
our state institutions out of poll
tics and placing them under the control
of a state board and, to accomplish this,
advocated the enactment of the neces.
sary legislation at the next session of the
legislature. It is gratifying to note that
this suggestion is being favorably re-
ceived by the press of the state. The
many scandals in state institutions dur
ing the last year have been an object
lesson to a great many people and have
convinced them that business-like and
efficient administration is impossible
until we have system that will insure
men as managers or superintendents.
By placing the Blind Institute under the
control of state board, removed as far
as possible from politics, it would tend
to prevent change of management and
teaching force with every political
change in the state. AS long as the
present system of political rewards pre-
walls it will be impossible to secure good
men to manage or assist in state institu-
tions because of the lack of permanency
of the employment. The members elect
of the legislature should seriously con-
slider this question and give US some
wholesome legislation along this line.

THE SHIP SUBSIDY STEAL.

When it is considered that the pur-
pose of this scheme is to give annually
as free gift to the comparatively few
ship. builders and shipowners the great
sum of SO 900, 900, or in thirty years the
enormous sum of $27O, ,OOO, 900, all which
the people must contribute in the form
of taxes, it will be perceived that it is a
measure of more than ordinary import
ance.
American coal can now be shipped
abroad and sold at profit at lower
price than the English article sells for.
Indeed. large quantities of American
coal have been already shipped abroad
and fair profits realized upon them.
Yet there have been and there are no
millions taken from the public treasury
to insure these profits to the shippers of
coal. Why should there be any? Why
should the whole body of the people be
taxed SO, ,OOO, 900 year for thirty years,
or for single year, to increase the
already fair profit of persons engaged in
aprivate enterprise? The shippers of corn,
wheat, -four, cotton, tobacco, meat, iron
and steel, or of hundred other commod-
tiles get no subsidies; they have asked
for none. Why then should the govern.
ment virtually build and sail ships in
order that the profits of the Pittsburg
Coal Company, which has capital of
$64 ,OOO, 900, shall be enhanced by sub
sides to be paid out of the public treas
ury or out of the pockets of the people?

THE IMPROVED SANTA FEE.

A party of Boston gentlemen recently
went over the Atchison property on a
tour of inspection. A member of the
party said:
"The company's equipment shows a
great Improvement. I was especially
pleased with its new engines, which are
of the heaviest type.
"The company's business is simply
enormous. Every siding contains loaded
freight cars, most of them having two
engines. Its freight trains are so long
that they have to see saw in and out in
order to let the passenger trains pass.
The passenger traffic is very heavy and
all the trans continental trains are run
ming in two sections.
II was struck with the great interest
in the property shown by the employees.
In Messrs. Ripley, Morton and Barr,
Atchison stockholders have trium.
virate believe to be unexcelled in prac-
tical railroad management.
"Great attention is being paid to the
encouragement of industries along the
line of the road, and this accounts in q
measure for the diversified character of
the roads traffic.
"Atchison has bonanza in the Grand
Canyon. A small road connects the
Atchison with the Canyon, but it is in
bad financial shape and it will undoubt-
edly be taken over by the Atchison.
II believe the Atchison will make of
the Grand Canyon rival attraction to
Niagara Falls and that it will secure q
very large tourist business in conse-
quence. ce.-Stockholder

There is no doubt In my mind, and
every officer in the Philippines will say
the same thing. that IL it were not for
the support given them in this coun-
try the Insurgents would lay down their
arms, and Aguinaldo would flee to Chi
ma. We have his cabinet now, and
we have most of the leaders, and these
are pleading with Agulnaldo to come in
and give himself up. The statement
that there is no longer organized resist
s,ance is q true one. A band Of coo or
800 that is sometimes mentioned in dis.
patches is without what might be call
ed a military leader. They are no
longer under generals or officers Of
what was once their army. They are
guerrilla bands, and choose their own
leader, and make an attack upon some
small detachment. That in a military
sense is no more than an organized re-
slstance than are the slcllian bandltti.
There will always be a lot OF these
