FOREST PROBLEMS.
Professor Graves Lecture at Alumni
 Hall


 Professor F. S. Graves of the Yale Forestry school gave a lecture upon Problems in American Forestry Tn Alumni Hall, Tuesday evening. He ex- plained that the objects of forestry are to regulate the supply and distribution of water, and to furnish timber for commercial use. The lecturer said that in some respects the influence of for ests in regula ting rainfall had been overestimated but that too much could not be said in regard to the manner in which the distribution of the rain- fall was governed. Great floods were due to the areas which were denuded of timber at the heads of the great rivers, causing the water to flow down to the main channels of drainage too rapidly
 The problems of forestry are greater in the west. There the stripping of the timber clad mountains has led to disastrous results. In the East, many industries are dependent upon river flow for power, and with the destruc- ton of forests at the heads of the riV- CTS, manufacturers may expect to see the sources of their power disappear The lecturer spoke of several states which had undertaken control of tim ber areas, mentioning Connecticut as one in which the matter was being taken up with enthusiasm, with the object of establishing a forest park The government is also actively en- gagged in the work, and Congress is con- sidering various projects for the ac- uuisiton of timber lands, especially in the Appalachian range of mountains.
 Reserves which comprise 50,0O0,O0O acres of land have been established in the west, and as much more will be acquired. These reserves are beneh- cial in number of ways, and are not as is generally supposed, injurious to mining, cattle raising, or agriculture. The loss of much valuable forest land has been due to eXtravagant grazing of cattle and sheep by large owners. The government will prevent this by allowing grazing with certain restric tions upon certain reserves.

4 NEGRO STATE pROPOSED

The Hon. John Temple Graves of At for dealing with the troublesome negro question. He would give the negro State of his own, where he might work out his destiny and prove his capacity for self f-government." This State, he says, might be on the new irrigated lands of the Southwest, or in lower Cal fornia or in that portion of Louisiana and Texas where so many negroes have already settled, or in territories, or in our new possessions. The negro would pay for this by losing the right to vote in other States, but this is not more in his own State. Five thousand circu lars have been sent out in a certain district, and 4,500 were pleased with the idea. the others liking all but the loss of the ballot The plan met the approv- al of many prominent negroes includ- ins, Bishop Turner, and separation clubs have been formed which are max ing up memorial, praying the govern ment to accept the proposition for Statehood"
 Of course there are many negroes who would not want to live in negro State or find living in such a State as easy as living elsewhere. And there are some grave objections to setting up such State. But MT. Graves idea is well worth attention and dlscussion'

The cooperative "home companies" of Missouri are having bad time of it. Their plan of action has been con- demned by half-a-dozen different States, California and Indiana included, and their agents forbidden to do busi- ness by those intrusted with the exc cution of statutes regulating building and loan associations. In Kansas City, where the scheme was first start

THE FORCE OF.4 GOOD EXAMPLE

THE FORCE .4 coon EXAMPLE.
 The force of, a good example set oy a neighbor is being felt in Rhode Island. Connecticut is rapidly improV- ing her roads, and Rhode Island IS waking up to the need of improving hers. A bill has been introduced in the legislature of Rhode Island for the ap- pointment of State Board of Public Roads and the construction and main tenance of State highways. Provision is made for the appointment of mem- ber from each county, for the employ ment of a civil engineer, for the relo- cation of State roads where desirable, for the building of roads by contract, for the maintenance of State roads, for laying out roads with reference to con- nections with main highways of other States and for the control of State roads by the board.
 The indications are that good roads law will be made by the present ses- sion of the legislature When Rhode Island has good roads her inhabitants will be glad and there will be no occa sion for the publication of stories that her celebrated turkeys are fond of strolling into Connecticut where the walking is easy and tobacco worms abound.
