That was an interesting synopsis of the
forestry scheme Of the Kirby Lumber
company, operating in southeastern Tex
as, which The Journ ais WASH
ington correspondent gave yesterday.
Except as it may be introduced on gov
eminent reserve for the general welfare,
we shall see little scientific forest admin
istration in this country until it will pay.
Lumbermen are not in business for phil
anthropic purposes any more than other
members of the community, and they are
not going to take chances and lose money
in forest preservation when there are
large and certain profits in slashing them
down.. The Kirby company is so situated
that it has concluded that the time has
come when it is better business policy
for it to endeavor to perpetuate the forest
instead of cutting it down as rapidly as
possible. In Minnesota these conditions
will scarcely be established before all the
white pine on private lands is removed

they mustered about $4,000 votes for their

Ireland's Prophecy.

Addressing the Minnesota Society Of
New York last night Archbishop Ireland
said:
II do not want to be bellicose but say
this for myself: AS sure as fate, although
you and may not see it, the starry BAN
ner will wave mistress over all the terri
tory from the gulf to the bay. There will
be no conquest, no war. The hearts
across the border are already beating
with love for us, and commerce and agri-
culture are calling for espousals."
We are sure that expresses the hope and
the confidence of nine -tenths of the Amer
leans who have ever given thought to the
subject. 1t takes no prophetic inspiration
to see the beginning Of a movement that
is to change the map Of the North Amer
lean continent, in the irresistible armies
of peaceable Americans whose pickets
merely have as yet crossed the line into
the Canadian west.

Dubois Defective Exclamation.

T h e o a Is Washington cor
respondent gives to-day the theory of
Senator Dubois of Idaho as to what struck
the western democrats and popu-
lists at the recent election. OBJ
serving that every arid state ex-
cept Nevada has rallied to republican
ism and deserted democracy, the senator
from Idaho hastily concludes that the
presidents advocacy Of irrigation and the
fact that a congress controlled by repub-
licans passed the national irrigation law,
Is to be credited with the remarkable re-
publican reinforcements in the western
mountain states. This is a pretty and
very interesting theory, but in another
column Mr.. Jermane shows how wide
spread and all submerging was the re-
publican wave in the west this year.
States that have little or nothing to ex-,
pect from irrigation have either turned
from democracy and populism to repub-
hcanlsm or have more strongly intrenched
themselves in their former republicanism
The fact is that this was a republican
year generally. Universal prosperity had
much to do with making it so and a splen-
did confidence on the part of the people
that President Roosevelt Is equal to dis
clpl1n1ng his own party and making up for
Its shortcomings had more to do with 1t.
The very general ante-election conces-
sions republicans made in most close dis
tricts as to tariff revision had also some
thing to do with the victory. Enjoying
present prosperity, it seemed to the people
more reasonable to accept these fair re-
publican promises and hope for the re-
vision of the tariff in the house of it's
friends than to turn it over to the enemy.
j Senator Dubois can not possibly demon
strate that causes which operated to ,;ve
republican success throughout the rest of
that portion of the United States that
enjoys politics in the paritzan sense
this excludes the solid south-failed ia
operate in that part of the country for
which he undertakes to stand sponsor
At the same time we have no doubt that
the salient fact that President Roosevelt
had advocated a national system of ir.
rigation and that congress subsequently
enacted such a law had something to dc
with republican success in the ari6
states. we of the humid regions do no,

Eugene Blair at the. 1ijou in "zaza."

Miss Eugene Blair is woman of I'M
questioned bravery. The task she has set
herself this season is one that might we'll
appal an actress Of wider experience and
greater personal popularity, and yet Miss
Blair has accomplished it not entirely
without success. Her Zaza is not the
ZaZa of Mrs, Carter nor is it the ZaZa Of
David Belasco, but it pleases her audi
ences and that, after all is said should
suffice.
The Blair Zaza is wholly lacking in that
fascination with which the Chicago player
invested the character. Mrs. Carter is
lissome and seductive; Miss Blair matron-
ly and wholesome. Physical illusion there
is none. Though she may counterfeit the
charmer, every expression of the Blair
countenance seems. to shout out: Don't
believe it. This is only play-acting. I'm
a respectable woman. Really, am" And

tent to sell them what they want rather
