The following resolutions were
passed by the Denver Chamber of
Commerce at recent meeting:
"Resolved, That the thanks and
commendation of the Denuver Cham
ber of Commerce are hereby rendered
to the Colorado Forestry Association
for its activity and intelligent han
ding Of the great interests to which
II is devoted;
Resolved. That the question Of
saving the forests and storing floods
is one Of the most important now pend
ing before the people Of the arid West
and this chamber urges upon all associ-
atoms and upon all citizens to take an
active interest in this question now be-
fore irreparable injury be done. to the
end that we may bequeath to our chill
dren not only as good. but better
country than we ourselves enjoy.

Militia Fore. No. Reliable.

Regarding the dependable strength
of the militia in time Of national peril,
Acting Adjutant General Hall, in his
report states that although the obli-
CATION of officers and men of the mill
tia to respond promptly to sudden
call of the President has been on the
statute books more than 100 years.
and the neglect to so respond is pun
ishable by such penalties as court
martial may direct, experience has
shown that this obligation is theory
rather than a fact. Without going
farther back than the late war with
Spain, the proportion of the member
ship Of militia organizations who have
actually responded to calls Of the Pres
ident has borne a very small proper
ton to those actually borne on the
company rolls"
Eliminating the men unfit for mill
tia and those unable to go to the front
for logical reasons. the report says
that only about thirty of the original
company is fair estimate of the num-
ber of men in each company that were
finally received into the service of the
United States.
The adjutant general comments at
length on the opposition developed in
some quarters to the militia law,
which, he says, is less on the whole
than was anticipated. He says 1t is
true that certain radical leaders of
the labor unions regard the militia as
menace to their purposes. although
it is doubtful. he adds. If this enmity
! extends to any considerable portion OF
their membership.
