the FOREST RESERVE POLICY.

President ROos cvelt demonstrates
BY his order setting apart large are as
OF public land as forest reserves thai
he Is In hearty sympathy with Mr..
Pinchot and others who are strong
advocates OF the reservation OF forest
areas, says the Denver Republican.
1t Is a policy better understood and
more commonly approved in the Far
West than many persons In the East
imagine. Western men recognize the
need OF preserving the supply Of tim
Der In the arid region, although some
OF them do not accept the doctrine
that forests affect the f.ow OF streams
or tend TO prevent snow from melting
within their limits. The effect Of for.
ests upon the flow OF streams Is q
matter OF dispute among men vino
have had opportunity to observe con
ditions In tie mountains Of this and
other states and 1t is by no means
settled which view Is correct.
But there Is no question concern
Ing the need Of forest reservations to
prevent the destruction of timber by
fire and ruthless cutting. Destructive
agencies OF n kind or another have
caused the forests to disappear over
q large mountain area In this state,
and the timber thus destroyed has
been restored to but q very small ex-
tent.
The urgent need Of protection Is
fully recognized In the West, and
probably the cause of the destruction
Is better understood here than in the
East. Whatever may be said OF the
ruthlessness OF some men who cut
timber for lumber. the fact remains
that by far the most destructive factor
is fire. Were there no forest fires 1t
would require many years to remove
the timber from u mountains, n
the problem OF restoration would pre-
sent comparatively little difficulty.
The real problem In forest preser-
walton Is that of protection against
fire. Fires should above all be pre-
vented. for once started, 1t Is exec ID
ingly difficult to put them out. To
do this would require a large force of
forest guards OF wardens. The en-
ployment Of such a force by a terri.
tory like New Mexico, is out Of the
question for financial considerations.
Apart from this. however, it devolves
principally upon the federal govern
ment, which retains ownership of the
forest lands. Congress could easily
appropriate enough money to provide
adequate force to guard each for.

many destructive fires and causing the

this will doubtless be made, The coun-

sources In agriculture and hort culture

a population of over 10000 people. It

ington would aid this to a great ex.
tent. The Santa Fe Central should
build north via Tesulue, P%ojoaque.

that stream about sixty miles and
swing west and northwest through the
Canyon Largo TO the mouth OF the

This is the connection that Is needed

distance, a new country, rich in natu.
al resources, fine for stock raising,
exceptionally good for agriculture and !
horticulture In many valleys and can

REvoLTERs LACK LEADERSHIP
Russian May Day Passes Without Gen.
eral Disorders.

=
st. Petersburg, May 16.-With the
Russian May day happily passed with.
out general disorders the authorities
breathe easier and are inclined to re-
gard the danger Of really serious
interior crisis this spring as over. Tur-
bulence doubtless will continue, with
sporadic disorders, but the plans OF
the social democrats and social reyo-
lutionists to produce disaffection
among the troops and coordinate peas
ant and Workmen's movements for the
creation of state OF general anarchy
have signally failed. The only place
whence acute disorder was reported
was Kishineff and that was in no sense
attributable to the revolutionists. APP.
parently a crowd of soldiers off duty
got out of hand, pillaged shops and
even government buildings and ere
ated reign of terror among 81 in
habitants until surrounded and arrest
ed by their comrades. 1t is now evi
dent that while the social democrats
and social revolutionists made@a lot OF
noise they had neither organization
nor real leadership behind them.

FIERCE FIGHTING IN JoLO

Pala's losses thus far are 800 killed,

and his remaining followers, in accord

to capture.
General Wood, with detachments

Dual Personality.
Somerville, N. j., May l6.-That
George H. Wood had dual personal
ity and that his better nature knows
nothing of anything that may be done
under the influence of the evil spell

attorney when he is put on trial here
for the murder of George Williams
last winter. 1t is believed that this
will be the first time this novel de.
Tense has been offered in a murder
case in the history of criminology.
Williams, a storekeeper in the vii
lage of Watching, N. j., was found
shot to death in his sleigh short dis.
lance from his home early last Feb
ruary. He had started from the VII
lage to drive a strange man to farm.
house some distance away and sus
picion at once rested upon the stran.
ger. Wood was arrested and identified
as the man who had accompanied
Williams and was charged with the
murder. At the time of his arrest he
claimed that for three days his mind
had been a blank and that he remem
bered nothing Of that period.
