derance Of the battleship in the new con-
struction is noticeable, and the results
Of twenty years Of revived interest in
the navy are meeting the needs of the
country. The war of naval types, which
began, it may be said, with the battle Of
the Monitor and Merrimac off Fortress
Monroe, which sealed the doom of
"wooden walls, cannot be said to have
ended even with the conclusion of the
British admiralty and the United States
naval board that the battleship is the
leading maker of seapower. $50 far, ac-
copied types have about five years dura-
tion before a new type comes from some
active brain and displaces to greater

1t has paid the Japanese evidently to
husband their naval resources and COM
bine caution with yalor. They have lost
only one battleship, which accidentally
struck a floating mine some distance out
at sea, two protected cruisers, two gun
boats a dispatch boat and several tor
pedo boats and destroyers. Their. splen-
did navy is practically intact, while the
Russian Pacific fleet has been utterly de-
stroyed. Judging then by results the
Japanese have conducted one of the most
wonderful naval campaigns the world has
ever seen. Admiral Togo can now de-
vote couple Of months to the necessary
repairs on his ships; and if that wild loon

far eastern waters, and the Japanese can
get whack at him, it will be about the

Roosevelt on the Land SINNERS.

The American Forestry congress, in
session at Washington, seems to have
struck a new lease of life. This is not
80 much apparent from a change OF
method of the association as from
change in the character of the dele
gates. Heretofore the delegate list has
been filed up from the ranks OF phil
anthopists, experts and nature lovers.
This year the delegates are forest users
as we'll as forest lovers
The presence as delegates of Howard
Elliott, the president of the Northern
Pacific railroad; f. r. Weyerhaeuser,
the leading llmberman Of the north
west; J. r. Richards, chief engineer
of the Pennsylvania system; l.. e.
johnson, president of the Norfolk &
Western railroad, and others almost as
prominent in manufacturing and trans
portation, gives a new significance to
the gathering. It means that the men
:! who denude the forests have been
awakened to the necessity of their re-
production, and this is hopeful of a
practical amount Of work in that direc-
tion. The chief engineer of the Penn
sylvania, discussing the problem of sup
plying railroad ties, said that this de-
mand alone requires the product of
100000 acres Of woodland annually.
In the face Of the utter abandon with
which industries have heretofore
stripped the lands and done nothing
toward reforesting, these, figures are
significant Of a wood famine in the not
distant future unless the policy of the
great industries lis radically changed. ~
President Elliott spoke on the de-
pendence Of business interests on the
forests, in which he. showed the impor-
lance of the railroads cooperating cor
daily with the government in the pres
ervation of timber lands. Mr.. Weyer-
haeuser, from the standpoint of a prac-
tical lumberman, cordially Endorsed the
policy of the government on forest
preservation and reforesting. The
French ambassador, M. Jusseraud, was
called upon and told the delegates that
the difference between France and
America is that in France nothing is
thrown away-not rag, a bone or a

are an example that a people may love
their laugh and their song and yet be
truly economical Of their resources. II
the French had been only singers, he
said, they would have long ago disap
j peared.
President Roosevelt was also among
the speakers, and his address was full
of information, Of interest in the sub
ject and contained some of the presi
dent s Enthusiastically frank opinions
He scored the Gland skinners' and de
clared himself and his administration
ee be against them and with the maj
who develops the country.
Great good should come out of Thu
meeting, which brought together mel
who were there, not as altruists, bu
as business men, whose necessities hav,
suddenly brought them into harmon,
IS and cooperation with the dreamers ant
the forest lovers.

WHAT ELIHU ROOT
THINKS OF THE GANG,
ga Criminal Combination Masquerading
Under the Name of Republicans"

Elihu Root, one of the strong figures of
Republicanism, has been elevated to a
position of the highest honor and oppor-
tunity in the S~ecretaryship of State. No
one who has watched his career can
doubt that he will shed lustre upon the
office and maintain we'll the honor of the
nation.
His keen insight and his sturdy loyalty
to the principles of Republicanism have
not been shown to better purpose than in
his courageous denunciation of graft
among powerful persons in his party.
His recent letter to Mayor Weaver, of
Philadelphia, startled the country by its
vivid language, and won for him the
highest praise as a leader. His charac-
terization of the Gang as "a corrupt and
criminal combination masquerading I'M
der the name of Republicans will al
ways be remembered.
The utterance is of such wide impor-
lance that it has been preserved in per-
manent form. The letter will appear as
a supplement to the Sunday North Amer
lean at August 20. 1t is printed on a
handsome colored sheet, suitable for
framing, decorated with Secretary Roots
portrait and the arms of the United
States and Philadelphia, the whole max
ing a souvenir which every Pennsylya-
