THE BE4R AND THE LION

Once more the British lion and the
Russian bear are approaching the same
jungle-the bear from the north, where
he has been alternating for twenty
years, waiting for this opportunity; the
lion from the south, weary and battle
SCARED from his contest in South Africa,
but a lion still. They may meet In
Afghanistan, for the man who has kept
them apart is dead. Abdul Amman Khan,
the ameer of Afghanistan, who, by mas
teriy diplomacy, has been able to play
between the two great empires in South
ern Asia, holding himself the balance of
power, will be succeeded by his son
Habib ouliah Khan. This change, if we

A half century has passed since the

1 GOOD APPOINTMENT.

A highly commendable appointment is
that of Mr.. Sidney NJ Owen to the office
of forestry commissioner. Mr.. Owen may
not be said perhaps to have that practi-
cal knowledge of forestry which renders
him an expert in the work which is
designed to be done by or through the
body Of which he is a member But his
occupation as the editor of an agricul-
tural paper necessarily renders him more
familiar with the requirements to the
care and rebuilding of our forests than
any pursuit which had no relation to ag-
ricultural interests
Besides all this, Mr.. owen is high
" respected citizen of the state, man
Of much public spirit and of the highest
personal probity. There is no fear that
he will look on his position as one which
requires no attention at his hands On
the contrary, there is the amplest reason
for assuming that he will take a deep
and active concern in rendering that body
greatly effective for the work which
awaits its action.
No body whatever has it in its power
TO render greater service to the state
than the forestry commission. The exist
ing condition of public sentiment on the
subject of the preservation of our forest
areas is urgent in demanding that some
rational and uniform policy be adopted
by the several states and by the general
government, looking to bringing to an
end the reckless waste of our timber pos
sessions which has been in progress, by
fire and theft, as well under the apparent
sanction of the law, for so many years.
Nothing whatever has been done in the
past either here or elsewhere. Indeed
it is only in the most progressive states
that the matter has even come under
serious consideration. We have found
employment for politicians in connection
with our forests, but nowhere have we
done anything which could be seriously
regarded as preservative Of the peoples
heritage in that regard.
There is no state in the Union which
has, or has had, more valuable timber
possessions than this. We have been
wretchedly prodigal of our possessions,
and the lesson is coming home to us year
after year with added force Something
must be done. and something effective
can be done through the agency of the
forestry board The appointment of
Mr. owen, the Globe believes, will
have a decided tendency toward promote
ing the splendid purpose which lies be-
meath the existence of the forestry board
and which was at last effectual in calling
that excellent body into existence.
If this body sees fit it can call such
conditions into existence that before an
other generation has passed away we
will in this state have recovered much Of
the ground we have lost as a great tim
oer-producing commonwealth.

the same, that we are getting in all kinds
of trouble by backing our missionary
forces in foreign lands. AS long as they
want to go on converting people on their
own hook, there can be no objection
raised. But when they call upon the gov
eminent to protect them in their prora-

can justly demand and beyond what the

Since our article of last Sunday con-
corning the overcrowded condition of the
Mechanic Arts high school, we have
learned fact apparently not known to
the board of school inspectors themselves.
We refer to the fact that both the Cleve-
land and Humboldt high schools have all
the outfit needed to start the full course
in manual training. emitting for the
present only the ironwork. The Central,
as is Well known, has already followed
this course. If this is the case, it is
clear that it will be vastly cheaper to
hire teachers and start the manual train
ing work at these schools than to build
an addition to the Mechanic Arts. We
fail, moreover, to see what good objec-
ton there can be to this easy and OBJ
fious solution of the problem. The peo-
pie seem to have resolved that these
nigh schools are not to be abol-
lshed; they should therefore be given
the fullest opportunity for usefulness The
board would set much speculation at
rest and bring this question much nearer
solution if they would at once apply to
the proper authorities, we presume the
state superintendent, for ruling as to
the right of a board to district city
for high school purposes.
