INTERNATIONAL DEBTS.

Though both Germany and England
denied that the Venezuelan blockade
of 1902 was instituted for any such
purpose, it is perfectly apparent to
those who have followed closely the
controversy that the foreign debt was
the real question at issue and that in
eervention was undertaken in the
interest of bondnolders. But this is an
age of world commerce and Of finan-
cial transactions of worldwide scope
capital is no longer satisfied with the
interest earned at home, but ever
seeks new fields of investment in for
eign lands. In South America, in
South Africa, in Egypt, and in China
we see the foreign construction Of
works of internal improvement and
the foreign exploitation of internal
resources. Commercial interest in
many cases involves sooner or later
political intervention. England's inter-
est in the Suez Canal gives her a
moral right in Egypt which the powers
of Europe cannot gainsay. Temporary
intervention in 1881 for the protec-
tion of her interests has assumed a
character of permanent occupation.
Russia's commercial exploitation of
Manchuria led to military occupation
which was terminated only by the

its anticipated results are for the
good Of, at least indirectly, all the
people of this state and many other
states, it would seem there could be
no adequate reason why the project
should not receive the hearty support
of every one.
There is in the promotion of this
project no contemplated exploitation
of the industrial building up of any
local community. Its prime movers
are actuated by the insistent realza-
ton that here is a beautiful spot
which calls for immediate protec,
ton against certain destruction.
That is, and will continue to be, the
main propelling force back of this
movement.
There is now no advocacy of more

equal area on this continent. En-
closed and protected and even with
out restocking, the fora and fauna
would rapidly increase. The park
would soon become the natural prop
agation place for the great variety
OF trees and flowers, the animals,
birds, and fishes which now inhabit
the region. So varied are its features
consequent on its differing attitudes,
its many directioned slopes,-its
exposed heights, its sheltered ravines,
its varied temperature and humidity,
that an almost unlimited plant and
animal life could be maintained. Few
who have seen the lake are aware of
the extremely beautiful, diversified
forests and the wonderfully unique
and beautiful scenery in its immedi-
ate vicinity.
There are now but few paths or
roads-both could be easily lai0 out,
and would afford a drive or walk
many miles in length, skirting the
shores of the lake, threading the
deep ravines, passing through the
dense woods and mounting the crag-
gy heights-the whole of incompar-
able loneliness. The great good of
the contemplated result of this I'M
dertaking is not alone in the mere

the state government recognizes and
sanctions the attempt to secure for

How about it Brown" asked the
King.
He has correctly stated the case,

AeATING BILLBOARD NUISANCE

Chicago Chronicle-An important ana
influential organization, the Ameri-
can Civic association, has undertaken
a campaign against billboards, which
1t denounces as unsightly nuisances.
The campaign will be waged on the
one hand to abate the nuisances and
on the other to create a public senti-
ment strong enough to force a solu-
ton of the question.
The Civic association suggests two
methods of warfare against the bill
boards. Both plans probably have
something to recommend them, but IN
Chicago at least there is third and
better method.
Most of the billboards violate the
building ordinance. They are danger
GUS to life and limb. They are a di
| rect standing menace to the safety OF
| the people of the city. On this
ground alone it is possible to abatC
most of the hideous nuisances which
stare at citizens and visitors from
every vacant lot and from the tops o
dilapidated buildings over all the city

to deal with the billboard nuisance

the continuance Of a comparatively
even flow of water, sufficient to
maintain the lake at anything like its
former or even present height. Most
OF the lands included in the water
shed area are Of little value for
farming, being too rocky for the
pillow, and for grazing, providing at
best only scanty pasturage. The
principal value is in their hardwood
timber. But much Of this is some.

that If any forests are to be pre-.
served, such as these-difficult to
log, and yet lying as they do on the
very outskirts of some of the largest

people, who for small expenditure
can go to them-should be included.
This lake park is designed to serve
as something available and accessible
TO the people, something near to the
great centers of population, some,
thing between formal city park and
n large scattered forest reserve, and
a place under the control of the state
and the watchful eye of the many who
will surely come to look on 1t as
property common to and requiring
the protection of all.
