FOREST RESERVE
is A NATIONAL NECESSITY.


The purpose of the Appalachian Park bill is to
ocnvert the mountains of western North Carolina
eastern Tennessee, north Georgia. upper South Car
oina and the southwestern part of Virginia into
forest looking to the perpetuation by the Gov
eminent Of the only remaining belt of hardwood in
the eastern par of the United States and also to
protect the water supply of the rivers which drain the
South Atlantic States and TIE Southern States east
Of the Mississippi River and south Of the Ohio River
These rivers are the water power for the great
industrial development that is going in the South
ern States and the unlbermen actively engaged
IN decreasing the mountains, the consequence of
which is that the rainfall rapidly flows away, pro-
ducng great floods which succeeded by extreme
drought to the extent of almost drying up the rivers.
If the destruction of the timber at the sources of
these rivers continues, the rivers will become entirely
dried up at certain seasons of the year The esab-

Boxer Trouble Not Over Yet.

Charles H Lamphrey, of Oakland,
Cal. at the National Hotel last night
was much enthused over the advantages
now presented in the Orient for the in
vestment of American capital. He is
also OF the opinion that adventurous
Americans can find all the excitement
they desire in China.
THE greatest undeveloped commercial
field in the world is Manchuria," said
Mr.. Lamphrey "Inasmuch as the Chi
nese feel more friendly toward Ameri-
cans than toward the people of any ether
nation. investors from this country will
find the way easy for them. But there
is an element of uncertainty in it all.
The troubles which caused the Boxer
uprising in China are by no means things
OF the past. In the interior provinces
the rebels are still strong. They are as
fanatical as ever. The population of the
country is so dense that. despite the
fact that the Boxer forces were so large
during the war in China. there are still
many natives who can be classed as
bCNeIS WIN are dHA4CuS u nave Il tsS
at the foreign devils
THE summary punishment meted out
to the leaders of the uprising or to
those who were thrust forward as the
leaders of the last uprising will be
warning against direct attack on the
legations.
Strange as 1t may seem, the Chinese
have more fear of Americans than OF
any other people. notwithstanding the
fact that the Americans have treated
them more kindly than the soldiers OF
any other nationality. They also trust
the Americans. They seem to have
learned that when an American says
thing he means it; that when he makes
promise he will furfill it, and THAI
when he makes threat he will carry 1t
out to the letter"

An Act Of Royal Courtesy

In extending a special invitation
to Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston to
be present at the coronation, King
Edward has done another of the
kindly and gracious things which
have endeared him to many peo-
pie in and ont of his own king
dom. As most people will remem-
Der, President Buchanan was in
the White House at the time of the
kings visit here as Prince of
Wales, and the Presidents niece,
Miss Harriet Lane, was the mis-
tress of the mansion, there being
no Mrs. Buchanan. These who
visited the White House at the
time remember her as a most gra-
eious and delightful hostess.
During the visit of the Prince
of Wales Miss Lane arranged sew
eral charming entertainments for
him, and, of course, was one of
the party which accompanied him
to Mount Vernon when he planted
tree at the tomb of Washington.
The years which have elapsed
have evidently not caused the
memory of this visit to fade from
the mind of the guest, and the
special invitation to the corona
ton ceremonies comes as a little
token of remembrance.
There may be people who will
see in this only an offensive pat
ronage. and in the lady's accep-
lance of it only an eagerness to
worship royalty, but unless we are
to break off all social intercourse
with any other country it is hard
to see why the ordinary amenities
of life should not be interchanged
even between English royalty and
American citizenship. The moral
of this incident lies not so much
in the fact that Edward VII is a
king as in the kindly courtesy
which shows him to be a gentle
man. 1t is not everybody who can
remember a favor and acknowl-
edge 1t prettily after so many
years.

Presidents Gift to Mr.. Mercer.

Representative Dave Mercer, chairman
of the House Committee on Public

spirits yesterday Afternoon. He had been

President in reference to the omnibus

He told the President that the day was
the anniversary of his marriage, where
upon Mr. Roosevelt remarked that such
being the case. he would sign the omni-
bus public building bill as souvenir of
the occasion. This was the cause for
Mr. Mercer feeling so jolly.
Mr.. Mercer will now get busy seeing
that the necessary appropriations for the
public buildings authorized, are en-
