Isn't New Hampshire Interested?

The Manchester Union does not seem
to be in sympathy with those who are
worrying over the prospect that the
White mountains will be stripped OF
their forests. and it seems 20 have little
patience with the movement for a ma
tional forestry preserve including MI.
Washington and it's immediate vicinity.
Most people feel that the White noun
tains belong to New England as
whole and the country at large rather
than merely to New Hampshire, and
have regarded the passing of the presi-
Dental range into the hards OF ium-
Der company as public misfortune.
The Union. however, refers to this feel
ing as midsummer enthusiasm, Z
persistent and exaggerated fad" and
a mountain Madness
1t points out that larga patches of the
Presidential Range ere bare now; that
on still larger patches there are no
trees worth cutting; that If the timber
at the bases, on the lower slopes and
in the ravines is cut it will undoubtedly
grow again, unless fires interfere; and
that neither the great manufacturing
interests Of New Hampshire nor the
railroad companies which handle the
summer travel are showing any anx-
iety. 1T is safe to predict" says the
Manchester paper, that there will be
no special session Of the Legislature
this year for the purpose of authoriz-
ing the issue of bonds for the purchase
of the Presidential Range"
1t may be safe prediction. but if the
Manchester Union speaks for New
Hampshire then New Hanipshire's i'll
difference is something 10 be ashamed
OF. The preservation Of the White
mountains in all their beauty and
grandeur is a matter OF pride to thou
sands and thousands ot people who are
not citizens of New Hampshire, and
their attempt to rescue these noun
tains from the hands of despOilers is
a movement which New Hampshire
should gratefully welcome and prompt
" cooperate with instead of taking
ally such attitude as the Manchester
paper assumes to represent.

In the quarrel between Louisiana and
Mississippi in the matter Of quarantine
regulations on account of the yellow
fever epidemic in New Orleans, the
general sympathy will be with Louisi-
ana. This is due not so much to a gen.

a general understanding Of the char
acter of Governor vardaman of Mis-
sissippi whose iIl-advised and ill-tem-
pered denunciation of the Louisiana
Health officials precipitated yellow
fever panic in Mississippi and re-
suited in conflict of authority
between the states. Such tnlnSs

When it comes to tests of prosper
ity there is no more reliable indicator
than the savings banks Of the country,
and the report issued by the New York
state banking department last week
gives some cheerful figures along this
line. This report shows that during the
year ended June so the deposits in the
savings banks of that state were in
creased over the deposits of the pre-
ceding year by the enormous and I'M
precedented amount of $s5.s3S, s55 So
The record UP to this time has been
Held by the year 1899. when the de-
posits in the state were increased by
$71,3S6,2S2. 1t thus appears that the in
crease during the last year was at the
rate Of more than 81, 500. 900 a week.
