FORESTS Of PHILIPPINES.

IN A RECENT LETTER to the Chi
L cago Record Herald William z.
Curtis. writing from Manila. touches
on a source of Philippine wealth that
is not generally understood in this
country. We refer 10 the great forests
that cover a considerable proportion
of the islands. Mr.. Curtis says there
are upwards Of 1.500, 600 acres Of vaIu-
able timber in the Philippines, of
which fully 500OO.00O acres are now
the property Of the United States.
they having been a part of the crown
lands Of Spain. The correspondent
continues:
The annual growth OF pine. cedar. ma
hogany and hundreds OF other varieties
of hard wood is estimated at 800 900 coo
cubic feet. which is about three times
Ninety-nine per cent of this annual
growth IS going 10 waste because there
Is 40 one 10 cut II or use il, and no
transportation facilities b. which it can

1T IS actually. cheaper TO bring pine
from oregon a. build Fort William NC
kinney than to cut it in forests within
sight Of the post. That Is one reason
why railroads are needed over here, and
some OF the lines that have been sur
Vcyed viii make this timber accessible.
Within few years doubtless YOU viii

leo years at the present eXtravagant
rate of consumption IN the United states

without considering possibilities OF re-
neWing the forests as they are cut down
For many years American econo-
mists have been greatly perturbed
over the denudation Of our forests.
They have not Lesitated 10 express the
fear that within a short time. perhaps
within the next 50 years, there viii be
no such thing as extensive forests in
the United States. Whether these fears
are justified or not it viii be comfort
ing to know that in the Philippines
there IS a practically inexLaustible
supply OF timber. and that, too. OF the
most desirable kind. This supply win
be available for the United States. no
matter what disposition Is finally made
og the Philippines.
II tie Republican colonial policy is
adhered 70 the forests viii be under
the direct control and supervision of
this nation. If the FilipinOs are given
their independence under an American
pTotectorate, as the Democrats believe
should be done. the forests win stu
be available for our uses. In the
meanwhile, as Mr.. Curtis suggests, it
would be a good idea TO build enough
railroads into the wooded Philippine
country to make possible the exploita
ton Of the forests.

MANHOOD The ISSUE.

Af ANHOOD IS TO BE the paramount
VI issue in the present campaign.
and on this issue Democracy has moth
ing 10 fear. Pessimists whine and say
the money power rules the nation. that
corruption is everywhere in public life,
but Alton Brooks Parker. the man,
stands out TO give the lie TO the asser-
ton. His life has been laid bare to the
world The simple story Of his climb
from farmer boy to the highest judicial
position in his state has been told and
retold. His beautiful home life has
been pictured in all its phases. No blot
has been found anywhere on the record.
AS husband, father, citizen and judge
the republic has produced no better ex-
ample.
Back OF all this is the manhood Of the
man. It was manhood that in an age
OF sOrdid commerciaIism made Judge
Parker content with his home in the
country and his simple life. It was
manhood that in the atmosphere of
selfish politics enabled him TO keep the
ermine Of his Office free from the slight
est STAIN 1t was manhood that spoke
when his party lodged a burning issue
and he announced that the presidency
would never come TO him unless it came
IN honor.
II has been the chief glory of the re-
public from the beginning that when a
crisis has arisen, the man has stepped
forward to meet It. The time has now
come TO rescue the nation from its car
e
Parker is on hand to do the work. PeO-
pie have followed Roosevelt up the
dizzy heights of destiny till they see
fearful dangers yawning at their feet,
and they are ready TO bless the man
who viii lead them back 10 safety.
There is no secret in the tide that has
set in toward Parker. II viii increase
IN volume as the issues are more clear
y defined.
It viii be especially fortunate for the
Democracy if Judge Parker shall prove
TO be party leader. There has not
been a time in the last thirty years
that the Democracy has not been in a
large majority in the United States.
Lack of leadership has kept it out Of
power. William Mckinley was twice
chosen president by Democratic votes.
These Democrats and with them thou
sands OF Republicans are rallying now
10 the standard OF Parker.
The telegram sent by Judge Parker
TO the St Louis convention has led
people 10 expect great things OF him
IN the future. If the sound sense and
courage OF that message is a correct
measure Of the man. then indeed has
the Democracy found a leader il viii
be q pleasure and an honor to follow,
Should the letter Of acceptance be
pitched in the same high key; should
the great issues before the people be
met with the same integrity. a rally

low such as has not been seen IN mod
ern times.

AN IRISH PROTEST

THE ANCIENT ORDER of Hiberni-
ans has decreed that the stage
Irishman must 60 At a recent session
Of the Organization in St Louis the
members took up considerable time in
a vigorous discussion and denunciation
Of the Irish caTicatuTes that appear on
the stage. Just how the Hibernians
are going to enforce their decree of ex-
termination is not made clear. And
they say the comic supplement Irish
man must go, also; likewise the Jokes
in which the Irish are ridiculed. So.
If the Hibernians have their way. the
jokesmiths and the artists who have
made the Irish their speciality viii BE-
obliged to find a new field of endeavor.
There is no denying the statement
that the Irish have been grossly carl
catured on the stage and in the So
called comic supplement. People who
have no acquaintance with the race ex-
cept the acquaintance gained from the
stage and illustrated supplement bur
lesque might be inclined to think all
Irishmen wear fringes of red whiskers,
dance on the slightest provocation and
crack bad jokes during every hour Of
the twenty-fOUr. Il is impossible TO
believe, however, that any American
is so ignorant as 10 believe all he sees
on the stage or in the joke department..
Ne real harm is done to the Irish by
the caricatures.
The Irish burlesqUe is no whit worse
than the Jew burlesque, the German.
the Swedish, the English OF any Of the
others in the long list one sees on the
stage and in the newspapers If every
race or nation that is held up to good
natured ridicules should rise and enter
a protest it would soon be impossible
for any burlesques at all to be pre-
scented. Why, Americans caricature
themselves, and somehow the nation
has managed TO survive. We fear the
Ancient Order Of Hibernians is com
posed, to a large extent, of Irishmen
without a sense of humor. startling as
that statement may appear.
No real good will be accomplished
by the protest. The Irish are celebrated
FOR their love of a joke. They should
not object when the joke is on them.
We have the word Of an English au-
thority FOR it that the finest type OF
gentleman in the world is the Irish
gentleman. That should satisfy our
Irish friends. People whose good opIn-
ion is worth anything viii not think
less Of the Irish because of exaggerated
stege brogue and makeup If they are
fond of humor Of that sort they should
be at liberty to enjoy it. No real irish
man has ever been disgraced by his
stage or comic-paper counterfeit.

Contemporary Comment
The Trouble With Burton.

With-a bashfulness which his devo-
ton to commercial law has lately made
fruitless, the senior senator in congress
from Kansas spaihts this dim miniature
In the Congressional Directory:
Joseph Ralph Burton, Republican,
or Abilene, was elected to the United
states senate to succeed Lucien
Baker, Republican, and took his seat
March 4, 1901. His term of service Will
expire March 8, 1907"
VIII he be compelled by the brutality
of courts and juries to take his leave
before March 3, 1907? A senator who
cannot be senator or hold any other
office If his conviction is held good on
appeal is apt to make his Republican
colleagues nervous. Except Mr.. Diet
rlch, of Nebraska, who knows himself
how near statutes may come to biting
prosecuted virtue.
TO put Burton out is to 'prejudge"
his case and anticipate his retrial. To
nave him in the senate is incOnvenient.
lie is a Democratic campaign docu-
ment on legs. Won't he appreciate the
delIcacy of his. own position and re-
sign! Not much. To do that would be
to "prejudge" his case.
In presidential year it is every pol
luclans duty to. be good or not be
found out. So who is there to mourn
for Burton?-New York Sun.

be no nearer realization than before.
Communities where this work is now
contracted for would lose business and
trade. And the government would lose
the benefit of the competition of the
private contractor, and the greater
benefit of having private concerns, in
case of war, familiar with government
work and ready to aid in it's speedy
completion.
Most of US believe in the eight-hour
day. That belief has arisen and has
been realized as a natural economic
evolution, and not by any compulsory
process of law. The realization Of the
eight-hour day everywhere should be
left to the same forces. The federal
authority should not go beyond it's prov
ince or attempt to lay down law for
private concerns. And labor and the
eight-hour day will lose rather than
gain if 1t should. For these reasons it
seems clear that the bill now being
urged upon congress ought not to pass.

BREAKING A RULE-oNcE-

T h G lobe feels constrained to
break for once this morning the rules
that it has laid down relating to the
publication Of letters to the editor. One
of these rules is that any comnunica-
ton in order to be printed must not
exceed half a column in length. The
need of this is obvious if letters are m
be printed at all, and the propriety of
it is manifest enough to those who
know with what ease a case NAV be
stated in a half column of small TYNE
if the writer does not let his words run
away with him and is not more con-
cerned about his language than his
ideas.
Z he Clio b is in receipt, however.
of several communications from Demo-
Gratis of good standing and good faith
in the state relating to present political
conditions within the party and within
and without the state. AS these are
mostly in support of ideas differing
more Or less widely from those enter
tanned by T e Globe itself and ex-
pressed in its columns, we feel like

1t is our policy and practice to dis
play absolute fairness toward all. re-
CARELESS of whether they agree or dis
agree with the ideas Of The Globe
Each man is entitled to his own opin-
ion and to proper and modest express
sion of it. Lest those who differ from
us in these matters should fancy them
selves excluded from our columns. we
give them for once q hearing that can
be granted only by setting aside the
rule relative to the length of commune
cations.
This cannot be repeated, however,
and our frieads will understand here

Japan's Army.

There is every reason to suppose
that the Japanese army is as ably or
ganized and as ably led as the Japan
csc navy. The spirit in which the
people took the news of the great sue
cess achieved by their sailors is par
ticularly admirable and particularly in
structive. There was no unworthy out
burst of noisy excitement and seIf-aS-
sertion. Japan heard Of her firstzvic-
tory-a victory on which so very much
hung-with. manifest relief, but with
dignity and, self restraint That is the
temper which makes nations formida-
bic when it is combined with disci-
pline and scientific leading. Japan has
proved that she possesses all these
qualities in her sailors. 1t will be rash
indeed of the Russians to assume that
she possesses them in a less degree in
the soldiers who will soon show their
mettle in conflict with the armies Of
the cZar.-London Times.
