sustain the resources of our country and
the industries which depend upon them.
The preservation of our forests Is an
imperative business necessity. We have
come to see clearly that whatever de-
stroys the forest except to make way for
agriculture threatens our we'll being.
The practical usefulness of the ma
tional forest reserves to the mining,
grazing, irrigation and other interests of
the regions In which the reserves lie has
led to widespread demand by the
people of the West for their protec-
ton and extension. The forest reserves
will inevitably be of still greater use in
the future than In the past. Additions
should be made to them whenever prac-
ticable, and their usefulness should be
increased by thoroughly businesslike
management.
At present the protection Of the forest
reserves rests with the general land
office, the mapping and description OF
their timber with the United states
geological survey and the preparations
of plans for their conservative use win
the bureau of forestry, which Is also
charged with the general advancement,
OF practical forestry In the Cniteu |,
States. These various functions snouio
be united in the bureau OF forestry, 10
which they properly belong. The pres,
ent diffusion Of responsibility is bad
from every standpoint. 1t prevents
that effective cooperation between the
government and the men who utilize the
resources of the reserves without which
the interests of both must suffer. The
scientific bureaus generally should be
put under the department of agriculture
The president should have by law the
power of transferring lands for use as
forest reserves to the department OF
agriculture. He already has such power
in the case of lands needed by the de-
partments of war and the navy.

defied the Constitution in acquiring the

tomorrow. The men will participate in
the parade that will mark the inaugural
of the entry of the new league into the

the Pennsylvania metropolis have rallied
to the support of the new club and there
is feeling that ii will prove vastly more
popular than the National League team.
Manager Manning will remain with the
Senators just long enough to get a line
on their work. as shown in their first
real trial of strength, and Will then re
turn to Washington to superintend the
work on the grounds which he confident
ly hopes to have in readiness for the first
game in this city next Monday, when the
local men will oppose Baltimore. During
the managerial absence Secretary Need
