Authorities.
From the american Lumberman'o of Dec. 2, t9o5.)

From the American Lumbermanno of Dec. 2, t905.)
By request the American Lumber
man reprints in this issue a part of
the speech of George II. Maxwell, ex-
ecutiye chairman of the National Irri-
CATION Association, delivered before
the American Forest Congress at Wash
ington, d. c., in the early part of jan
uary, 1905. This address has much
to commend it to the business men
of the country. 1t was termed the
sensational address of the congress,
and perhaps d~eservedly SO called be-
cause it sets forth in Illuminated
words the necessity of inaugurating a
systematic movement looking toward
the rehabilitation of forest lands and
the planting or treeless areas.
The gentleman who delivered this
able talk on forestry spoke from ex-
p~erience and close observation. He did
not d|illydally around with the usual
commonplace platitudes about the in1-
portanee of forestry, but. by illustra-
ton showed for what purposes the
forests We're intended and the COM
mercial value of their importance as
compared with the recognized bulwarks
of the nation. While he conceded the
necessity of an army ana navy to
guard invasion and to protect and up
hold the rights of the people in for
eign countries he called particular at
tention to the ~desirability of maintain
ing an adequate forested area in order
that the commercial interests of the
United States might in like manner
be preserved.
Mr.. Maxwells a~rraignment of the
national lawmakers and his comments
on the shortsightedness of those in
charge of business interests were time
ly. While not subscribing fully and
unreservedly to the views expressed
the American Lumberm3n believes that
his severe condemnation of past and
present methods and practices will
bring forth good results and that its
republication will again turn public
attention to the necessity of adopting
laws which will correct evils in the
future and provide a system of a juster
administration of the public land laws.
The attitude of the public toward
forestry and irrigation is a peculiar
one. Men evidently fail to recognize
any personal interests in such ques-
tons. Some are totally indifferent:
others admit the ~desirability of es-
-Llishing reserves but want to leave
it to those who are more directly
concerned. Still others are lukewarm
and, while readily admitting the bene-
fits of forestry and irrigation pro-
jects, content themselves with waiting
until there is more visible likelihood
of the movement being successful.
Still another faction is made up of
those who are openly opposed to all
forestry schemes, many national irri-
CATION projects, and government inter
vention in such matters.
Until within recent years the forests
of the country as a whole have been
controlled by private owners. The

Miss Olga Nethersole, the distin-
gulshed English actress who is now
producing in this country a new So
| ciety drama, 1.-The Labyrinth" speaks
with intense conviction against di-
yorces to families in which children
have been born to the marriage. When
the production of the play was first
preached to Miss Nethersole she was
more than willing to produce it
not alone for the excellent opportuni-
ties afforded her for dramatic inspira-
ton. but she found that it had a seri-
Gus purpose in teaching humanity an
object lesson. In fact most of the
plays which Miss Nethersole has pro-
duced have hidden somewhere lessons
to be taught the founders of homes.
"Hervieu," she said in an interview,
"has shown in his drama, The Lady,
rinth,' the indissolyable bond the child
makes between husband and wife and
the terrible consequences of a disrup-
ton of such a union.
What does marriage mean" she
asked, eff not parentage? The rela-
tionship and responsibilities, not of
husband and wife, but of father and
mother, are those which should be ac-
cepted when a man and woman are
Joined in marriage. To tear apart by
law the tie which binds a couple to-
gether, after they have brought chill
dren into the world, is to destroy the
home and to rob those children of all
the influences which develop them into
good citizens. Divorce is an injustice
to the offspring Of marriage; it places
a barrier between them and one of
their parents-oftentimes both; 1t
warps their development; 1t embitters
their souls. No such dissertation Of

But what of the many cases in which

for a wife to live with her husband?"
was asked.
Such domestic tragedies occur, it is
true, and occur with sad frequency"
Miss Nethersole replied. But even
then there should be no absolute dis
ruption of the marriage tie. Separa-
ton solves the question. Let them
live apart, although still married, and
perhaps a reconciliation will take place,
and happiness come out of misery, in
the end. Then the children will still
have a father and mother, although
they may spend most of the time with
one of their parents. There will at
least be no possibilities of placing
them under the care of another mother
or another father, by a second mar
rage. A spiritual nucleus, about which
the home again might unite, would still
exist.
uniformity is the first step that is
needed in the formation of the divorce
laws of the United States. There are
different codes in almost every State,
and one may be a criminal in n and
not in another. Then the divorces are
easily granted on too many grounds.
In England there are three causes for
which divorce may be secured-infidel-
ity, cruelty and desertion. In this
country there seem to be half a dozen
or more. but America is ahead of
France at least in one respect. There
people who may have been divorced
may not remarry each other. Such a
law is a sin, for in the reunion of the
pair lies the only hope for the saliva
ton of the home"

Derg Princess End the koyai
Beauty of England.
All eyes will be turned toward Spain
next May when the young King AL
fonso XIII. will take the most beauti-
full and popular princess of England to
be his queen.
The young girl who has at last been
selected to share the throne with AL
fonso is the Princess Ena of Batten-
berg, only daughter of Princess Henry,
the youngest sister of King Edward.
Ever since Alfonso became King Of
Spain, and even when his mother
acted as Queen Regent, his picturesque
personality has been the talk of two
continents. Long before he reached
the manageable age, ever for a king,
a new bride was picked out for him
every day, and to members of his suite
he would often say:
Whom am | to marry to-day? The
newspapers surely have found me an
other wifei"
But now that question no longer
agitates AlfonSo'S court, for the beau
tiful Princess. Ena has been chosen
after a search which led the young
monarch all over Europe. Country af-
ter country was visited, but the faS
tidious young king was often CO..
fronted by more fastidious young prin-
cesses, and after he had been out on
his search for a while he found that
royal Processes were not so anxious
to become Queen of Spain as he had
thought back in his luxurious palace.
When Alfonso visited England a few
months age there were dozens of young
noblewomen paraded for his inspec-
ton, but his eyes flew to the young
Princess Ena, and Alfonso, the unim-
