JAPANESE BARRED
FROM AMERICAN WARSHIPS.

While it is hardly supposable that
the victory of Admiral Togo has
"skeered" your Uncle Samuel, the
fact that all Japanese were put ashore
previous to the maneuvers incident to
the attack on Washington is rather pc
culiar to say the least The Mont
gomery Journal speaks of the matter
as follows:
The Japs are barred off American
ships during target practice. II is
barely possible that they viii be en-
tirely barred from our ships at all
times 1t grows out of the fact, &C
cording to \, ashington dispatch
printed in the Journal few days ago,
that recently several officers of the
United States navy, among them
Admiral Bob Evans, have reported to
the department that, while on the
Eastern station, they met japanese
commanders of battleships who were
not many years ago serving as cooks
on United States warships. The de-
partment is convinced that Japan
picked up a good deal of her informa-
ton about naval matters by putting
bright naval students on board United
States naval vessels as servants. 1t
develops that Japanese who were en-
ployed on the battleship assigned to
participate in the maneuyers on the
Potomac and Chesapeake this week
were left ashore the latter part of last
week. Nearly every ship employed
from one TO five Japs. For years they

THE DOUGLAS PINE.


Tree Tint In the Memorial Both of
n Man and Tragedy.
A tree whose name is at once tbs
memorial both of a man and a tragedy
is the Douglas pine, famous for its
magnificent cones. Now, David Doug
las was originally a Scotch lad who
came under the notice Of Sir William
Hooker, the well known botanist, and
through his influence was appointed
collector Of rare plants to the Hortf-
cultural society. He travelled for the
society in all parts of the world and
was extraordinarily successful in his
finds. 1t was he who discovered lu-
pins, eschscholtzias and godetias as
well as many magnificent varieties OF
pine trees, including the one bearing
his name. But when quite young
man he met tragic fate while plant
hunting. He was in the Sandwich
isles, and there the natives dig deep
pits to catch wild animals, covering
them over with branches and grass &c
conceal their openings. On to one Of
these treacherous pits Douglas walked
one day when alone and was at once
precipitated to the bottom No help
was at hand, and he was devoured by
wild beast which was also impr.s.

THE PROTECTION
OF OUR FORESTS.
tTampa Tribune.)
XIX 4

Our. esteemed contemporary. The
Pensacola Journal, joins issue with
the Tribune on the question of the pro
lection of our forests While it is
true that Pensacola has grown great
as the shipping center of lumber and
naval stores, from the vast forests OF
South Alabama and Western Florida,
yet this fact should not color facts to
its inhabitants and its editors until
they are unable to perceive the truth.
Would it not be much better, even
for that city, that its prosperity should
be permanent and increasing rather
than short-liyed, based on a get rich
quick scheme, by utterly destroying
its forests, its sources of wealth?
Again, our hypercritical friend, who
is disposed 70 bubble over the trans
position, might well look at the vast
acres surrounding his city that have
been dispoiled of their wealth of tim
Der and report what percent of these

There Are Times when IL Is tsie Part

The best OF us talk too much. THE
essence of power is reserve" said a
man who knew.
Many a reputation has been built on
silence Many a one is spoiled through
rushing prematurely and vSlubly into
speech.
1t is safe to be silent when yous
words would wound. Faithful are the
wounds of friend, says the old prov
erb, but one wants to be mighty sure
ones friend needs the wounding and
that we are qualified to administer 1t.
Keep still when your words will dis
courage. II Is infinitely better to be
dumb forever than to make one fellow
being less able to cope with life
Keep still when your words will in
cite to anger or discomfort. An incred-
ible amount Of breath is used in the
evil practice Of trying to make cur
friends dislike their friends.
Never speak when what you have to
say is merely for the purpose Of exalt-
ing yourself
Shut your lips with a key when you
are inspired to babble ineontinently OF
yourself-your ailments, accomplish
ments, relations. loves, hatreds, hopes
and desires. 1t is only TO the choice,

these things without becoming a fool

lands have been put into CULTIVATION.
A trip to other sections Of the state
would show him thousands OF acres
of land. from which the the timber has
been stripped, standing bare and bleak
too sterile to cultivate, utterly worth
less for agricultural purposes.
IL the young timber had been Iett
standing, 1t would have afforded sufti-
cient shade to enable a new crop or
trees To- grow for future use.
If, as the learnd Journal claims,
the growth of trees has no effect on
the atmospheric conditions, cold and
rain, why should the General Govern
ment grant concessions OF lands 10
parties who viii set out and and cui-
tiyate trees on the vast plains of The
West?
Why has the great wheat belt OF
Kansas gradually moved westward, as
the planted forests have grown and
the annual rainfall has increased?
Why have the arid plains of the
west become wellwatered and fertile
| fields with the systematic arbor cul-
ture of the General Government?
If the Journal man would come TO
! South Florida where horticulture and
agriculture are the leading interests,
and where they pay big profits, he
would learn that even here, in the
most fertile portion of the state. only
a small percent of the land win repay
cultivation and that the remaining
lands are only valuable as a forest re-
serve from which the larger timber
may be used from time to time, ieaV-
ing the younger timber as protection
4 to the land and the climate.
Finally, the wise and extra cautious
editor of The Journal doubts the pow
er OF the legislature to prevent the
cutting of young pines less than Ten
inches on ones own land How about
the police protection of the state in
the interest of health? yes OF life? and
the game laws? Is not the air and

bors.
Has The Journal investigated the
! Weather Bureau records TO see wheth.
er they sustain the Tribune's conten,
ton? If SO, which ones? Certainly
not those of Tampa, because they sus
tain the Tribune's contention
We take it that The Journal man
when announcing with so much bonn
bast that the weather bureau did not
sustain the Tribune's contention, was
talking through his hat.

too dry in South Florida to success

THE RoWEN-LooMIs
DOODLE" CONTROVERSY.

The Bowen-Eoomis controversy
which ioomed up on the political
horizon. some time since with prom
ises of sensational scandal in high
places has evidently been Geftly tuck
ed under the lid by the Mighty Taft,
and the investigation, if any there
has been, was carried on sub rosa
The New Orleans States again drags
the matter before the public eye and
comments thereon as follows:
Secretary Taft has not seen fit to
give the public any of the details OF
his investigation of the charges made
by Minister Bowen against Assistant
Secretary LOomis of the state depart
ment, although there have been re
ports sent out from Washinton which
made it appear that Mr.. Loomis was
getting decidedly the best of it, and
the result would be the dismissal OF
Bowen in disgrace from the diplomatic
service of the government. But these
statements are not borne out by more
recent reports. For example there is
one which says that after Mr. Russell
who was brought from Caracas to tes-
tify. had been heard by Secretary Taft
the following request was promptly
filed by Mr.. Bowen:
Il now have the honor to respect
fully suggest that if any doubt re
mains in your mind as to the culpa
bility of Mr.. Loomis, | be ordered 10
return to Caracas, and that, with Capt
Parker and Consul Hurst, l be in
ct n tolyn tho fncfirVannu IF
and all persons acquainted with the
facts, and be provided with letters re
questing Mr.. Loomis's bankers and the
Venezuelan government to give to me
certified copies of any papers that
may tend to prove the nature OF Mr.
Loomis's transactions while he was
minister to Venezuela"
There rings throughout this request
anote of confidence that would be alb
sent if Mr.. Bowen did not feel that
he had proved his case. II is evident
that he submitted to Secretary Tai!
some strong evidence or he would not
have made use of the words IF any
doubt remains in your mind of the
culpability of Mr.. Loomis," nor would
he have asked to be allowed to return
to Caracas and fortify the evidence
he had already gathered and present
ed, unless he knew that more evidence
of a damning character could be OBJ
tanned there
Mr.. Loomis was charged while serv
ing as minister to Venezuela of having
Improved each shining hour" by &C
cepting graft from the New York AMI

is little reason to doubt that Bower

tary of State, but as the latter is ont

way will be found to protect him.
