HOW TO PRESERVE THE FORESTS

President Roosevelt stated tlle cagr
exactly when he said that it is the at
utWie OF the industries of the country
that will determine whether or not our
forests are to be preserved They
must be persuaded that it is to their
mediate interests to aid in preserv-
Ing the forest 1t should not be a diff.
flcuIt matter to convince the great cor
porations OF the country that their in.
terestS lie in proper preservation Of
the forests of the country. The rail
roalS, lor instance, are the greatest
users OF timber i'll the country They
use it, too. for a purpose for which no
practicable substitute yet has been
found. a few years of the present
profilgacy will result in lumber fam
Inc which will force the RAILWAYS to
secure something besides timber for
ties. Thus it would seem that the
most powerful OF the corporate inter
ests OF the country would naturally
aEsn themselves with those persons
who believe that the forest wealth Of
the country should be protected and
used for the best interests of the pres
ent and OF future generations Have
the forestry enthusiasts of the country
made an effort to bring certain obvious
facts more particularly to the attention
OF railway magnates who are interest
ed III the sources OF future timber sup
plies? II not, the resolution" stage
OF the fight has not been reached.

Pity the Poor Car!

One cannot help feeling intense pity
for this poor mannikin who sits tremh-
ling on the throne OF the great Peter
1t is not his fault that he is Gar,
and it is not his fault that his people
are down-trodden, disloyal and rebel
lious; neither is it his fault that the
rescript which is issued in his name
contains no ray OF hope for the future
he is merely the puppet moving its
arms, its legs and its head at the will
OF the grand dukes who pull the strings
behind the throne. Even il he were to
assert himself now, we believe that, as
has so often been the case before, he
would be, suppressed by his rulers
without mercy. 1t is pitiful spec
tacle. More, it is a tragedy, for al
though the man may be willing him

A Wonderful s1en,ory.

Some years ago there was strollina
player ut Edinburgh Of the name of
William Lyon, who had most aston
1shing memory. He one evening made
a bet of bowl Of punch that he would
at the rehearsal next morning repeat
the whole Of the Daily Advertiser from
beginning to end. Being called on the
next day. he handed the newspaper to
gentleman present to see that he re-
neated every word correctly. This task
ne accomplished without making the
slightest error, through all the varieties

Russian Reforms.

Prince HilkofT's view OF the Cars
reform ukase expresses the thought Of
moderate people throughout the world.
1t is premature, he holds, to raise the
question OF constitutionalism foolish,
then, for the liberals to reject such
large concessions as are now offered.
Reform, he insists. will be best achiev-
ed by looking to pressing abuses first,
leaving matters Of political theory for
their own time. Very welcome, too is
his assurance that the reform articles
offered by the Gear are meant in abso-
lutte good faith. These words, from
one OF the sanest administrators of the
empire, should reassure those who
take too gloomy a view of the Russian
internal situation.-New York Post.
