ANOTHER RAID ON THE FORESTS,

The rapid depletion of the forests is
due mainly. of course. to the immense
use OF wood in the construction of build
ings, railroads, railroad cars, street cars,
agricultural machinery, furniture,
wagons and many other products in
which are made chiefly of wood. There
is one use of wood, however, the extent
of which is comprehended by compare
lively few persons
The worlds supply of paper is, now be-
ing made of wood.
The amount Of wood that is required
to make the paper for single issue of
popular newspaper is far greater than
the general public is aware of, and this
drain upon the wood supply is increas-
ing steadily.
We published recently the census fig
ures which show how the number and
circulation Of newspapers are increasing
There is also an enormous increase of
the number of books and magazines. The
invention of the wood pulp process revo-
lutiOnized the manufacture of paper, and
made possible the present cheap prices
of newspapers and other popular publ
cations. The price Of paper has fallen
from over u cents a pound little more
than twenty years ago to a little over 2
cents now.
It requires an enormous amount Of tim
Der to keep the wood yulp paper mills
OF this country going. Besides the tre-
mendous quantity of paper used in this
country every day, we supply large part
of that which is shipped to Europe, Aus
tralia and other foreign lands.
The manufacture Of paper has Increased
enormously the consumption of wood,
and thereby added to the strength of the
argument for the planting of trees to re-
pair the ravages upon our forests that
are going on at terrific rate We may
have to come soon to a compulsory tree
planting system similar TO that which
Germany has so wisely adopted and is
rigidly enforcing.
But our present and pressing duty is to
educate the people by every possible
means to realize the duty and beneficial
results of restoring the forests that are
being rapidly and recklessly destroyed.
The craftsmanship and patriotism Of the
country cannot find better subject than
this for it's thought and effort

snIcIpEINTHE ARMY.

During the past two or three years a
number Of suicides have occurred I'm our
army. most Of them in the Philippines.
where conditions are especially trying to
our soldiers.
The stationihg Of a large body Of troops
in that region undoubtedly accounts for
the increase Of suicide in the United States
army, but the per centage is still much
smaller than that in any other army.
The German army has a suicide rate of
go per 100000, the Italian army 400, the
Belgian go, the English go, the English
Indian $50 the Russian zoe. the Spanish
40. The English-Indian rate is due to the
depressed and suspicional states produced
by moist heat. The suicide rate Of the
French army OF the interior fell from 47O
under the empire TO 200 under the republic.
The African. army OF France has a rate Of
$50 per LOG. 0o0. probably from causes sim
liar to those affecting the English-Indian
army.
The suicide rate in the American army
is only about half that Of the British
army. which. except in India. is much
less than that Of any other European
army.
The American soldier is the healthiest
and most cheerful man in the fighting
business. He is also the best paid, the
best fed and the most kindly treated.
When we consider these facts the COM
paratively low rate Of suicide among the
boys in blue, who are soon to become the
boys in bilious green. is not remarkable.

FOLLOWING PINoREE's LEAD.

The late Hazen 8. Pfngree. of Detroit.
set an example Of practical and helpful
charity when, as mayor Of that city. he
planted potatoes for the poor on such va
cant lots as the owners consented to loan
for that purpose.
BY this enterprise Mayor Pingree obtain
ed q large supply Of wholesome food for
the poors OF Detroit and saved many
families from suffering, while he aided
many others in their hard struggle to OBJ
tain the necessaries Of life.
II will be remembered that this true
phIlanthropist was subjected to much rid
feule on account Of his peculiar scheme tc
relieve the poor Of his city. He was
dubbed Potato Pihgree and wore the
soubriquet as an honorable distinction
which * undoubtedly was. though not in
tended to be so.
There IL in Philadelphia Vacant Lots
Cultivation Association" that is following
the line laid down by Mayor Pingree and
thereby accomplishing great good.
The associations superintendent, Mr.. r.
F. Powell. has made an appeal for the
means OF extending this noble work.
The association wants more vacant lots
on which to raise crops that can be used
either to help feed the poor or sold and

the proceeds used in some way for their
benefit
Mote money is also needed to carry on
the work of cultivation.
One of the good results Of the associa-
TONS efforts is the Encouragement it has
given to the poog to help themselves
and reap the fruit5l OF their own toll.
1t is desired to give this opportunity to
many more Of them, and in order to do
so more land and more money must be
had.
superintendent Powell estimates that
from $4,000 to $4,000 would be sufficient
to pillow, harrow. seed, fertilize and super
intend the cultivation of GOO acres of land
and direct the efforts of 1000 people anX-
ious to do something for themselves.
The philadelphia newspapers bear wit
ness to the fact that this association has
already proved a blessing to the poor of
that city and are earnestly pleading for
the contributions that win make possible
its extension to a larger scale,
1t seems that a work like that which
Major Pingree originated in Detroit and
made so useful there and that in which
.--e Vacant Lots Cultivation association
of Philadelphia is engaged might be car
ried on in many of the cities of this coun-
try. It is certainly one of the most prac-
teal enterprises of charity yet proposed
and put into operation.

like all of the other game, are not at all
shy of strangers. The law against hunt
ing in the park is very strict, and the
United States government keeps about a
hundred soldiers on duty to protect the
game, and the animals seem TO have
found out that Old Glory is floating over
them, and regard the tourists who pass
them as fellow citizens. claiming protee-
ton under common flag, and they rarely
fear or make an attack,
the hotels through the park feed their

CHALLENGE
To the EdItor Of The journal:

To the Editor of The Journal
My information is that, in the campo ign
now being waged in South Carolina, Con-
gresham Latimer claims to be the orig
inator of free delivery system as applied
to rural mails; that that the Hon. John
Gary Evans, denying credit to Mr.. Lati-
mer. gives ii to the late Hon. j. William
Stokes.
On May 2S, 1892. as will be seen by ref
erence to the Congressional Record, IN
, troduced into the house of representa-
tives. advocated, and got passed, a resolu-
ten appropriating money for the free de-
livery of rural mails.
This was the first resolution and appro-
priation congress ever passed upon that
subject, and the present system, now
called rural free delivery, had its origin
in that resolution.
/ respectfully challenge Messrs Latimer
and Evans to produce proofs to the con-
trary. They are respectfully challenged
to show that Mr. Latimer, Mr.. Stokes or
Mr. Anybody Else ever secured the
passage of a resolution and appropriation,
before that date, for the free delivery of
mails to people living outside the limits of
cities, town and villages.
/ will authorize The Atlanta journal
to offer $1,000 for such proof.
Hon. John Wanamaker. while postmas-
ter general, had system which he called
rural free delivery, but this was confined
to towns and villages. 1t failed, and was
abandoned.
At the time my resolution was passed
no such thing as rural free delivery OF
country mail was in existence in this re-
public.
In the June number of Book News, page
795, the statement is made editorially that
l am the author Of the rural free delivery
system. Book News, as is well known,
is the literary organ OF Hon. John Wanna
maker former postmaster general.
II this proof be not convincing let any
one who wants to know consult the Off
ciaI record of congress for May Is 1892.
Hon. ] |, VIM. Stokes was not member
of congress until after that session, and
1 do not think that Mr.. Latimer was If
either Of these gentlemen secured the pas
sage of resolutions in favor of rural free
delivery 1t was subsequent to 1892. They
certainly had nothing to do with my reso-
luton of May. 1892. in which the rural free
delivery system originated.
The senators from Georgia, Hon A. o.
Bacon and Hon. A. 8. Clay, have both in
vestlgated this question. and both can
speak upon it with authority.

one to earn a thousand dollars.

"In my honest opinion" said Mr.. For
rest Adair, who recently returned from
an extended western trip, "a man who
lives in this country of OURS and has read
Of the Yellowstone National Park, and
has money enough to buy railroad tick
ct and fails to go to that most Interest,"
ing place is a first class chump, certainly
he is doing himself great injustice. A
man ought especially to take his children.
The trip is worth more to a child than a
whole year in school. If the Yellowstone
Park were in Europe, American tourists
would spend millions of dollars annually
going over there for the sole purpose OF
seeing IT.
MANY years ago 1t was a very difficult
matter to visit the Park, as the roads
were bad, aeeecs poor, and 1t required
about 800 miles of very rough staging to
reach the interesting points, but within
the past few years railroads have been
built to within few miles of the edge
of the park, and the government has
spent millions of dollars IN building the
best mountain roads / have ever been
on, and the seven day trip through the
park can be made with almost as much
comfort and convenience as one would eX-
perience in a railroad trip Of that dura-
ton.
, "Our party went from Pocatello up to
Monida, which is located 60 miles from
the edge of the park, but the trip can
be made over the railroad on the north,
leaving at Cinebar avoiding a 60 mile
stage ride which is rather uninteresting.
Another advantage of the Cinebar route
is that all of the hotels in the park are
owned and contrilled by the Transpor-
tation company located at Cinebar, and
yen thus have only one set of people 10

for side trips, stop overs. etc. Further

Washington Cor. st. Louis Globe-Dem.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-There is con-
siderable speculation in the army as 10
the probable successor of Lieutenant Gen1
eral Miles, who retires by reason OF age
August g. 1903, but ii is not generally
known that the duties of the Office OF COM
handing general are now largely perform
ed by General s. B. NJ. Young, the presi-
dent of the war college. 1t is an open Sc
eret in the war department that General
Miles is commanding general in name on
W. His name appears on office orders and
routine papers pass through his ONCE, but
when advice is desired by the secretary
of war on matters affecting the army
General Young is always called into con-
sultation. 1t is definitely known that when
General Miles retires, either by reason OF
age a year from now or by order of the
president. General Young will be named as
his successor, but as General Young re-
tires for age January 8, 1904, he will have
but a few months to serve, and the real
interest centers in a successor to General
Young.
The friends of Major General Corbin
say that he IS the logical candidate by
reason of long service and in recognition
of his conduct of the war with Spain.
General COrbin, however, declines to au-
thorize the use of his name in this cor
nectfon. and has already disavowed an in
tention to scramble for the office. Secre-
tary Root and the president are much i'm
pressed with General COTbin's ability, and
among the officials of the army his
chances for appointment are considered
excellent. The most active candidates
against him will be Generals Adna r.
Chaffee. John c. Bates, Arthur MacAr-
thur and James F. Wade. General Wade
is now a brigadier general. but he has
been assured of promotion to major gem
