The most desirable disposition of the
White Mountains, their requirement by
the nation as a national forest reservation,
will be made the object of special effort
in the coming sc ssion of Congress. New
Hampshire ought to do something, but it
is not rich state, and as the governor
withhOids any promise of aid in the keep
ing of die greatest glory and most profit
able asset of that commonwealth, the hope
lies iu the nation. II is melancholy to re-
rect that little more than 40 years ago
New Hampshire owned all this region,
and sold it for $4,000. The faulty of
this action was not then perceived, but 1t
rs wet borne in upon the consciousness of
the people OF that state in these days,
when the pocket greed Of lumbermen and
cord wood ravagers is rapidly denudlng

still not general; ana there is, on the
other hand, n perfectly sound argument
for the preservation of the white Hills"
by the whole nation. In the Far West
and the Pacific West the government is
establishing such reservations; there
must be- thus secured the great trees of
California. And there should be coupled
with these the White Hills. There are

In speaking of President Roosevelt's

THE President bears personally the

"a discussion of the advisability of Con-

as the Chief Executive is called upon to
make from time to time to meet the people
of the country. One of the suggestions
made is to the effect that Congress pur-
chase & special train to be reserved for
the use Of the President of the United

sistent with the independence of the
Chief Magistrate of the Republic should
be found out of the present situation"
What wsy would the Railway World
suggest 1t, of course, would not for a

railroads. Not bit of it. Neither does
that journal favor the idea of passing
