How a Democratic District Could Be
''Gerryman;iered. >,

Some OF the Democratic papers Of
the state have charged that the Re
publican legislature will ''gerryman-

fed to rest content with the charge
made in general against the majority
party.
AS the Democratic papers decline to
tell how the pportionment should be
made in order to preserve the rights
of the minority. The Sentinel has
studied the situation carefully to find
how any Democratic congressional
district could possibly be carried out.
1t finds that with the vote of 1900 as
basis it would be possible to make
one district which would have small
Democratic plut ality. but to accom-
plish that result would necessitate an
outline OF such erratic character as to
warrant the charge of gerrymander
being brought against it.
If all the counties which gave Dem
ocratic pluralities at the last election
were put one district, a Democrat
ic district could be made. These
counties are Jefferson. Dodge, Czau-
kee and Calumet, and to bring them
into one district would necessitate the
taking Of Washington and Sheboygan
counties.
The following is the population of
these counties, together with the vote

The objection to such a district is
that it is not compact as required
by the act of congress providing for
the apportionments Its outline
shows at glance that political results
have dictated the proposition instead
of other considerations. But it is the
best that the Democrats could do for
themselves if they had the matter of
the apprOtiOnment in their own hands.
The only change that could be made
would be the substitution of Fond du

square miles of the mountain lands. The lands are
comparatively worthless for agriculture at present,
owing to their inaccessblity to markets. and conse-
quently the cost would not be great They are, how
ever, sufficiently the populous States of the
East render them available as recreation grounds
for thousands who are unable to come West to enjoy
the wonders of Yellowstone Park and the beauties
of Yosemite
The region has attraction for scientific students
of forestry from the fact that it is in the very heart
of the broad leaved forests of Eastern America and
where Professor Shaler says: "a greater num-
Der of the hundred important trees attain their
full growth than in any other equally extensive field"
In fact he argues that the region was the original
birthplace of these kinds of trees and that from that
district they spread over the world He says: THAT
in this district the varieties of the group are more
plentiful than elsewhere may be due the fact that
here they nurtured and have here attained their
characteristic qualities
At this uncture in affairs whatever tends to
preserve American forests and to interest and edu-
cate the American people in the value and usefulness
of forests deserves the support of Congress An APP
palachian park would undoubtedly help to accom-
plish that education, It is to be hoped therefore
that it will soon be provided.

Golden Rule JONES'" Mayor of Toledo, and one Of
the leading advocates of public ownership, in a COM
munioaton to the Toledo Bee gives his version Of
that failure He says of it: The Toledo natural

as unbusinessle proposition for the city to enter
