THE RAILWAYS.

In 1857 measure was enacted for the regulation
tot interstate railways. commonly known as the
Interstate Commerce act. The cardinal provisions
Of that act were that railway should be just
and reasonable and that all shippers localities and
commodities should be accorded equal treatment. A
commission was created and endowed with what
were supposed TO be the necessary powers TO exc
cute the provisions Of this act
That law was largely an experiment. Experience
has shown the wisdom of its purposes but has also
shown possibly that of its requirements are
wrong certainly that the means devised for the
enforcement of its provisions are defective Those
who complain of the management of the railways
aIlege that established rates not main taned: I:
that rebates and similar devices habitualy
sorted 70: that these preferences are usually in
favor q the large shipper; that they drive out of
business the smaller competitor: that while many
rates are too low. many Others are excessive. and
that gross preferences made, affecting both
localities and commodities. Upon the other hand,
the railways assert that the law by its terms
tends to produce many of these illegal practices by
epriving carriers that right Of concerted action
which they claim is necessary to establish and
t1na!ntain Notwithstanding rates
The act should De amended. The railway is a

THE ISTHNIAN CANAL.

No single great material work which remains to
no undertaken this continent is of such conse-
ouence TO the American people the building of
a canal across the isthmus connecting North and
South America. Its Importance to the nation is
nv no means limited merely to its material effects
,non our business prosperity: and yet. with view
70 these effects aione would be the last degree
important for Immediately to begin IT. While its
beneficial effects would perhaps be most marked
unon the Pacific Coast and the Gulf and South
Atlantic States. 1t would also greatly benefit other
sactions 1t is emphatically a work which it is for
the interest of the entire country to begin and
complete possible: 1t is one of those
great works which only a great nation can under
take with prospects of success and which when
done are not only permanent assets In the nations
material interests. but standing monuments to it's
constructive ability
I am glad to be able to announce to you that
negotiations on this subject with Great Britain
conducted both sides in spirit of friendIiness
and mutual goodwill and respect, have resulted in
nv being able to lay before the Senate treaty
which II ratified will enable to begin prepara-
tons for an isthman canal any time and which
guarantees TO this nation every right that ii has
ever asked in connection with the canal In this
treaty the old Clayton -Bulwer Treaty. long
ognized inadequate to supply the base for the
construction and maintenance of a necessarily

GAME PRESERVES.

Certain Of the forest reserves should also be made
preserves for the wild forest creatures All of the
should be better protected from fires Many
of them need special protection because Of the
great injury done by live stock, above all by sheep
The increase in deer, elk and other animals in the
Yellowstone Park shows what may be expected
when other mountain forests properly protected
by law and properly guarded. Some of these areas
have been so denuded of surface vegetation by
overgrazng that the ground breeding birds includ
ing grouse and quail, and many mammals including
deer, have been extermnated or driven away At
the time the water storing capacity Of the
surface has been decreased destroyed. thus pro-
noting floods in times of rain and diminishing the
flow of streams between rains.
In cases where natural conditions have been e.
stored for a few years, vegetation has again
peted the ground, birds and deer coming back,
and hundreds of persons. especially from the i'm
mediate neighborhood, come each summer to enjoy
the privilege of camping Some. at least, of the
forest reserves should afford perpetual protection
to native fauna and fora safe havens of refuge
to rapidly diminishing wild animals Of the
larger kinds and free camping grounds for the
ever increasing numbers of men and women who
have learned find rest. health and recreation in
the splendid forests and flower clad meadows of
our mountains. The forest reserves should be set
apart forever for the and benefit of our people
as a whole. and not sacrificed TO the shortsighted
greed of a few
The forests are natural reservoirs BY restraining
the streams in flood and replenishing them in
drouth they make possible the use of waters other
wise wasted. They prevent the soil from washing
and so protect the storage reservoirs from filling up
with silt. Forest conservation is therefore
sential condition of water conservation
The forests alone cannot, however fully regulate
and conserve the waters of the arid region. Great
storage works necessary to equalize the flow of
streams and to the flood waters Their
construction has been conclusivey shown to be an

be best accomplished by the individual States
ing alone. Far reaching interstate problems
involved, and the Of single States would
often be inadequate. 1t is properly a national
function. least in Of its features. It is as
right for the national government to make the
streams and rivers of the arid region useful by
engineering works for storage to make
useful the rivers and harbors of the humid region
by engineering works of another kind The storing
of the floods in reservoirs at the headwaters of
our rivers is but enlargement of our present
policy of river control under which levees built
on the lower reaches Of the streams.
The government should construct and maintain
these reservoirs II does other public works
Where their purpose is to regulate the flow of
streams should be turned freely into the
