My friends, the forests OF the state
in my humble opinion, should DE con-
served with the greatest care. 1t IS a
matter OF regret that just now when
the country at large is awakening as
never before to the necessity OF forest
preservation ana so much is being done
i'll this direction, when so much OF vital
Importance depends upon our 1ofcstS,
that fault should he found that our
Legislature actually appropriated
few thousand dollars to prevent their
destruction by fire
I quote from recent editorial in the
Bangor COMMERCIAL:
1.-The forests are of untold value to
the wealth Of the State and to the per-
manencY OF our many Industries. once
the forests are destroyed. our natural
reservoirs OF water storage become les
Sened. evaporation is greater, the How
of our rivers is smaller and the many
industries depending upon our manu-
featuring corporations would be cur
tailed to such AN extent as to cause
hardship to thousands of families. Too
much care cannot be bestowed upon
husbanuinS our great forests, the
source Of 50 many industries upon
which the people of the state are de-
pendent
Now somebody has spoken of the
Flashes of silence" the reduction of the
tariff on alcohol is seemingly held by
some TO be of more Importance than
the preservation of our forests. 1T is a
burning shame Mr.. Gardner says,
they are not taxed more"
l deprccate any effort to array class
against class in this State. There arc
no classes. We are all interested alike
i'll the development of our State we love
so we'll.
In closing Mr.. Carleton vigorously
defended the game Wardens of Maine
from an attack made by writer from
Ashland in a Lewiston paper He said:
The time has gone by when it is con-
sidered smart" or popular to shy
stones and filings at game wardens.
They are men of great ability in their
line-men of character and standing in
their OmmunitieS-honest and fearless
Iii the performance of their duties.
Moreover. they are being constantly
hired Iway from us. at double and
treble the compensation we can pay, by
others on account CT the value of the
services they can render.
l aver and challenge successful con-
tradiction, that our wardcns are skilled
iii al the requirements, that they are
efficient, honest, command the respect
Of the community and are making the
life Of the poarcher a burden.
Now one word more. / have nevc"
sought to deceive the public as To
poarching. l hay" taken the ground
that publicity-full complete publicity
IL; to poarching-was the surcst and the
best way to stop it, and SO in our re-
ports and in the newspapers we have
given the public all the information We
nave had. Let us rather seek to aid
the officer of the law in the PERFORM
ance of duty than to discredit him.
Mr.. President and gentlemen of the
association. thank you for your cour-
tcsy in calling unon me to address you.
have spoken, I feel, strongly upon this
subject. / hcspeak for your organiGa-
ton prosperity and usefulness.
