Wood and water, in other words,
the forests and streams, are today
among the most important Of the
country's possessions. In the West
they are indispensable to the forests
for lumber and for the protection of
the water supply, and the streams for
the reclamation of THOUSANDS of acres
of barren and almost useless land
through irrigation. 1t has been es-
timated that there are $4,000, 900
acres Of so-called arid lands west Of
the Missouri river which with the
water now available can be made
richly productive and the seat of large
populations. Thus in the West the
streams even more than the forests
must be considered of prime impor-
lance as home makers. In the East
and West alike, and over all the coun-
try. the streams are rising yearly In
Importance for water power, and as
towns and cities increase, for domes-
tic supply as well. But with the
streams the forests must always stand
as protectors. The preservation of
the forests on the mountains and foot
hills means the perpeuuation of the
water supply, and the security Of the
water supply means incalculable de-
velopment and benefit for all sections
of the country. The results of the
Investigations OF the q. S. Geological
Survey. in its study of the water re-
sources Of the country, have repeated
y demonstrated the increasing value
Of the streams. The forests and the
water resources are SO closely allied
that they must always stand side by
side in the development of the coun-
try.

Rushville, Ind, Feb. 10. -. Miss

To Maintain the Monroe Doctrine.

An exchange calls attention to the
report that Germany would have
accepted from Venezuela slice Of
territory if that government had not
decided to pay its debts on the install
ment plan. 1t asks what the United
States would have done had Germany
made such proposition and Vene-
zuela had accepted it. The question
is one worth considering. If Poultney
Bigelow, who claims to know the Ger
man emperor better than he knows
himself, is right, William is deter
mined to have a colony in South
America. He disclaims any such in-
tent, but, suppose he has it, and has
it very badly, will he not try his an
nexation scheme with some other
country in South America, and what
will the United States do? We know
what was done by Abraham Lincoln
and his successor when Napoleon III
undertook to establish dynasty in
Mexico. This is the precedent, and
unless we have so changed since that
time that we all agree with Henry
WatterSon and would end the con-
troversy by digging a wide canal, let
ting the territory south Of it take
care of itself, Indifferent to its occupa-
tion by foreign colonies or revolution
airy natives, we would be oliged to 60
to war with Germany, as we would
have been obliged to go to war with
France if Napoleon had not deserted
Macmillan. 1t may look like an
expensive affair. but if we are going
to stand by the Monroe doctrine we
would be compelled to 60 to war with
Germany. To be prepared for such an
event will require large expenditure
of money, but it seems the only thing
to do in the uncertainty regarding
the designs of William Of Germany if
we are going to maintain the Monroe
doctrine. -IndianapOliS Journal.

HIVE SOMETIME
And Somewhere Had
Our Fortune Told.

This is funny old world full of Pc
culiar people, and in this land where
trust rings, coal rings, political rings
and Wedding rings seem to thrive and
flourish it is little wonder that funny
happenings occur.
The longing to belong to a wedding
ring resulted in permitting a couple
of young ladies from Rochester to buy
some local fortune telling last eve-
ming. The experiment is in no wise
discreditable to the young ladies, but
for fear their mammas might give
them what Paddy is said to have given

names. Usually, by exercising heroic
will power, a woman can pass mil

with the South Bend medium, they
hiked for Plymouth with return tick

CASE Is RATHER MIXED
Judge Adjourns It to Find Out Who He
Will Make the Man Who IL
Accused.


Paris, Feb. 19.-The hearing on the
appeal of w. A. Vanderbilt, who was
sentenced in default last year to two
days Imprisonment on the charge of
driving an automobile at excessive
speed in the Champs Elysees. was re-
sulned yesterday. A chauffeur named
Coubec, who ran the machine at the
time, testified that Vanderbilt was not
in the automobile aad that its only
occupants We're the Duke of Marlbor-
ough and himself. An affidavit of the
Duke of Marlborough, to the same ef-
feet, taken before the French consul
in London, also was introduced.
An amusing scene occurred when
Coubac finished his testimony. The
justice said that in view of the evil
dence it seemed proper that the chauf-
feur should De brought before the court
as the accused, instead of as wit
ness, and he asked Coubac if he wished
to change places, with Vanderbilt. so
that the two days sentence standing
against Vanderbilt could be transferred
to him. Coubac protested energetica;-
ly. declaring he had come before the
court as witness and not as an ac-
cused person. But the Judge insisted
upon the transfer, whereupon a coun-
sci for Vanderbilt also interposed q
strong protest.
Il insist" he said, that there be a
definite decision whether my client II
guilty or not guilty. am opposed
to any transfer of the sentence" The
judge then announced the adjournment
OF the case until March Is, saying that
Coubac would be cited then not as
witness but as the accused.
