4 NEW FOREST POLICY.
tribunal.

Secretary Wilson's proposed reorganization OF
the forest service marks an important and alto
gether helpful change in the governments Tor-
est policy. 1t has been felt for many years
that our haphazarG methods of dealing with
forest lands-accepted without question when
the one aim of the Western pioneer and settler
was to subdue the forest-were Anticipated and
manufactured. The wasteful destruction Of
areas which should have been kept intact for
purposes Of water storage had proceeded for
generations, and American opinion was slow to
awaken to the necessity Of checking such dev-
astaton. Finally, in spite Of some obstruc-
ton from frontier sentiment the federal gov
eminent adopted the policy Of creating forest
reserves, and many states have recently taken
the same course with mountain districts
over which they have exclusive jurisdiction
Under the Harrison administration an impor-
tant step was taken when the first great West
ern reservations We're established. But though
these lands were thus saved from trespass and
spoEation, they were left, in q measure, IN
cared for and undeveloped. They remained
under the control Of the Interior Department
whose General Land Office was naturally dis
posed to view them chiefly as an unavailable
asset because withheld from occupation and
settlement.
By a law passed at the last session Of Con-
gress the federal forest reserves were taken
and put under the control Of the Department Of
Agriculture. The Secretary Of Agriculture, it
was argued, should be made their custodian
inasmuch he was charged with the general
promotion Of agriculture and the general SUI
pervision Of all agencies for protecting our
soils and developing their productive capacity.
Not only that but he had also ready and or
ganized in MS department bureau for the
practical study Of forestry problems. Commit
ting the forest reservations to his care mean:
not only that they could be treated as active
factors in agricultural development, but also
that they could be made more or less self-sup-
porting Secretary Wilson has justified the
theory underlying this legislation by planning
a reorganization which will follow modern Eu-
ropean ideas Of forest preservation. He will
create an up to date force of forest rangers and
supervisors, uniformed and disciplined, who
will not only protect the reserves from lumber
thieves, but will conduct profitable business
in marketing surplus timber It is estimated
that lumber worth from $2,OO0O00 to $10OOO-
600 can be disposed Of and that sum utilized
for maintaining the service and improving the
reservations. This is attempt to put our
forest administration on a rational basis-a
first step toward turning to beneficial use the
vast forest tracts still controlled by the national

SUBWAY VENTILATION PLAN URGED

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: have read your remarks in The Tribune OF
the 10Th inst. on the ventilation Of the subways
which are timely and exceedingly appropriate. On
November 20 last wrote to you on this subject.
With a proposed plan for ventilation which you
will find in your issue of that date. fifteenth page
This plan presented to the engineer Of the Rapid
Transit Commission, who said he had considered
the matter fully and would soon show his ideas
The result was the fans at the Bridge and some
other stations. aud these have proved entirely use
less. Ny plan IS TO connect directly with the out
side Of the subway sufficiently to afford complete
ventilation on each block between the terminals.
The expense will not be heavy and there viii bs

EXPERTS NEEDED ON SUBWAY AR

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Your recent article on subway ventilation
contains the remark that the people OF New
Y ork cannot be made to believe that engineering
science is unable to solve the problems OF sub
way ventilation" a statement which is entirely
iustifable.
In defence Of the reputation OF the science OF
ventiiating engineering. I wish TO say. most en-
phaticaly. that the feeble and crude attempts
far made in this matter are in no sense representa-
tive of the capabilities OF my profession in dealing
with, what IS 20 those who have devoted lifelong
technical study TO the subject. perfectly conp~e
hensible problem.
That branch OF my profession which deals es-
pecially with the subject OF ventilation Is one in
which our country is fortunately not only rich but
pre-eminent. and city has engineering
specialists in this line OF worldwide reputation
That no one Of these experts has been retained
or consulted by the commission in this apparent

The ventilation of the suowar Is subject to def

those whose experience in such matters enables
them TO gauge the conditions. It is not to be &C

Notwithstanding the ravages Of Michigan 1egis-
lators in the peach orchards Of "St. joe and
Benton Harbor during the recent peach feast,
the farmers have been compelled. for lack Of
market, to dump hundreds Of bushels of the
delicious fruit in the marshes, preferring that
course to paying freight on them to Chicago and
then letting the fruit dealers pay their own
prices which, in some cases. did not cover cost
of picking and freight The farmers should
emulate the Californians and send their choicest
fruit East, where there is always good market
for prime article. They should also be pre-
pared to can or otherwise utilize their surplus.

Did Not Tell The Truth.

General Solicitor Dodd declares that
the Standard Oil company waa COMPEL
ed to get rebates or go out Of business
for the reason that it's competitor"
had rebates, and often secured lower
rates than it was able to secure.
The difference between Mr.. Dodd' S
statements and the facts is the most
staring feature of his statement.
For it has been shown by the investi-
cations by congress, by state legisla-
lures. by courts Of justice and by the in
terstate commerce commission, that the
Standard intrigued with railroad man
agements to increase the rate of freight
on oil to all shippers, and that itreceiv-
ed back in the form ofrebates not only
the advance on it's own oil, but the adj
vance on all the oil shipped by its "com-
petitors, - and that this rebate enabled
it to undersell, and finally ruined its
competitors, and finally to buy up
their properties at fraction Of what
they were worth. Free Press.

Wellman on the Eastern War

Walter Wellman, Washington cor
respondent to the Chicago Record
Herald and man of keenest insight
and judgment, writes on the eastern
war as follows:
cit was at first generally supposed
Mr.. Roosevelt had been actuated Who'll
ly by motives of humanity, that hewas
Mortified at the slaughter in the far
east, and that he deemed it hopeless for
Russia to continue offering such dread
sacrifices on the alter of a stubborn
pride. It now appears that, while this
was one of the reasons for the presi-
dents efforts to promote peace nego-
tiations, it was not the only one. The
interest of the United States in the far
eastern situation was powerful factor.
''The administration has not viewed
with serenity the rise Of Japan as the
predominant power in the orient, and it
does not regard it for the best interest
of the United States, either politically
or commercially, that the existing equili-
brium should be violently disturbed.
Under the leadership Of secretary
Hay the administration opposed the
Russian eastern policy during the last
few years, because it was believed the
domination of Russia over China threat
ened to place serious Obstacles in the
way of America trade in China and
thruout Asia generally. A fair equili-

Discusses LAWYERS.

Washington GLADDEN., the great In
dianapolis preacher getting into civic
and political matters via the Rookie
teller gifts to churches, discusses law
yers good and bad. He says some good
things whenever he talks. On the sub
ject of lawyers, he said:
"The function of the lawyer is the
right administration of the law. If this
is the work Of the lawyer, then his bust
ness is essentially religious; his function
is sacred, as truly so as that of the
teacher or the clergyman.
"There are a great many lawyers
whose revenues are large, because they
have earned the reputation Of being able
to obstruct and paralyze and defeat the
law of the land-who are recognized by
the criminal and predatory classes, rich
and poor, as their allies.
''Do not understand me to raise the
common question whether criminal
may be defended by a lawyer. Ger
tainly he may and must be defended.
1t is no discredit to the best lawyer to
defend the worst criminal.
''The law is good even in the case of
a great criminal if a man uses it law
fully.
cit is the perversion of law, the
abuse of law, in the sheltering of male
factors from it's penalties by which
many lawyers enrich themselves.
GAS there is no service more sacred
than that to which the administration
of law invites all good men, so there is
no mischief more diabolical than that
for which the bad man finds, in the
same calling, his opportunity.
'"There is no class of men in our So
ciety more hateful or more dangerous
than unprincipled lawyers.
"When we think of the manner in
which some Of them have sold their le-
gal talent to gigantic plunderers, how
they have put their vast learning at the
service of men whom they knew to be
bent in preparation of colossal wrong,
it is hard for any honest man to stanc
in their presence and hold back the
flaming word of Indignation"
