The Bowbells tribune. [volume] (Bowbells, Ward Co., N.D.) 1899-1969, 1906-05-04

There is no high officer in the United
States army, with the possible excep-
ton OF Leonard Wood, concerning
whom the various opinions held by the
unprofessional public have differed
more widely or conflicted more direct
ly than those concerning Gen. Funston.
In the Philippines at the outset of
his career he was the victim of over
advertising. The sensational accounts
of his exploits at the first raised his
reputation to the pinnacle of popular
glory. When the reaction came he
suffered, no doubt unjustly. By some
of his fellow citizens, and not in Kan
sas only, Funston is yet worshipped
as one of the most remarkable of mill
tary heroes. BY others he has been
regarded as newspaper made soldier,
of a fame somewhat saffron in hue;
and the latter estimate of his abilities
and usefulness has not been weakened
by the circumstance that he is not
West Pointer, but an officer appointed
from civilian life.
AS in all such cases, the truth about
Funston has always been in the ex-
treme unfortunately marked for him at
a time of adulation and the other ex-
treme Of depreciation which would
dismiss him as mere adventurer with
a genius for so doing things as to put
the types in motion. He is past forty,
and is master of his ultimate classifca-
tion.
The events of the past week will
convince millions of Americans that
William Mckinley made no mistake
when he promoted Frederick Funston.
The little brigadier has handled the
dreadful situation in San Francisco
with so much judgment and resolution
that he is entitled to the thanks of
congress. No sooner was the nature
of the disaster known at the Preside
than he rushed troops to the city to
patrol the streets and guard banks and
public buildings. AS the disaster grew
he arose to the occasion. He did not
trench on the civil authority, but domi-
mated it for the general welfare. His
first dispatch to Secretary Taft shows
that he grasped the situation and that
his tact did not fail him. Troops all
on duty assisting the police" he re-
ported, and added: ''We need thou

Climates Changed By Deforestation.

BY continually cutting away forests,
man is gradually making a desert of
the earth, meteorological experts de-
clare.
This subject was recently discussed
before the German Meteorological
Society, at Berlin, by Professor Hennig,
recognized authority.
He cited numerous examples of a
marked: change Of climate due to de-
forestation.
The climate of Greece. where today
only 16 per cent of the area is covered
by forests, he declares has deterior-
ated.
An increase of temperature and de-
crease of rain are noted, compared with
ancient times, especially in Attica,
which was thickly covered with forests
about three thousand years ago, and
where hardly any rain now falls, while
the heat in the open air attains de-
gree which would make the "Olympian
games" an impossibility.
A similar condition exists in the
peninsula of Sinai, where thousands OF
years ago the people of Israel lived in
a luxuriant and fertile country and
where today only forestless deserts
abound. Palmyra, also once flourish.
ing oasis in the Syrian desert, presents
today only a desolate waste of stones
and ruins.
In Mexico, where the Spaniards cut
down the forests in the mountains,
droughts changing to devastating floods
are now noticeable, especially in the
vicinity of the City of Mexico. In up
per Egypt, where only one hundred
years ago rain was abundant, drought
usually prevails. In Algeria, where,
since the middle of the last century,
the forests have been cut down on 8
large scale, dry weather has increased,
and in Venezuela the level of Lake
Tacarigua, to which Alexander von
Humboldt drew attention, has been
lowered in consequence of deforesta.
ton.
Such results, Professor Hennie
thinks, bears out the sentence: MAN
traverses the earth and a desert results. -
Deforestation goes on, however, and
climatic changes result, While wood
can be sold at profit there seems to
be no hope for better things.
Germany with q forest area of about
28 per cent, realizes annually nearly
SEQ. 900. 600 worth of timber therefrom,
while the wood importations are of the
same value. The consumption of wood
increases from year to year, and sys'
tematic forestry has not succeeded h
keeping up the forest area Of Germany.
If it is furthermore borne in mine
that Canada, which formerly
possessed more than 300, ,000, 900 acres
Of forests, has today only forest ares
of about 225, 600, 900 acres, it becomes
evident that the question Of deforesta
ltion assumes great importance.
If civilization continues to change
the face Of the earth the problem Of ID
wood supply will present itself like
that of coal and force the finding Of 9
suitable substitute.

OPERATORS AND MINERS CON-
siDERiNG WAGE SCALE IN
JOINT CONFERENCE.
WILLING TO ACCEPT A RETURN
TO CONDITIONS PREVAIL
ING TWO YEARS AGO.

indianapolis, March 23.-The joint
scaie committee of the joint confer
snce of the operators and miners OF
the Central competitive field and the
Southwest district again went into
executive sessions during the day to
continue their contests over wage
scale.
The situation before the session was
the same that confronted the oper-
ators and miners when the former
joint conference adjourned Feb. 2, fol-
lowing disagreement The two sides
were apparently no nearer settle
ment. 1t is admitted by both sides
that should there be an agreement at
this time the wage scale agreed upon
the miners admit the operators will
not agree TO longer period.
In the joint scale committee of the
Central competitive district the Illinois
shotfrers' law again came up for dis
cussion. A motion by President Nit
chell of the Mine Workers that the
matter be considered a district affair
to be settled by the Illinois represen-
tatives alone vas defeated by the oD-
orators, who Insisted that it was an
interstate matter as it affected the en-
tire competitive field. This left the
breach as wide as ever.
President Mitchell then moved that
a substitute scale committee composed
of two operators and two miners be
appointed to which the differences ex-
listing should be referred. He an
nounced that he had a proposition to
offer on behalf of the miners to such
committee. 1t was understood that
this proposition was the restoration of
the scale OF two years ago, but it was
not stated on the floor The oper-
ators, with the exception of T. L. Rob
bins of Pittsburg, who cast the vote
of the Western Pennsylvania oper-
ators, opposed the appointment of
substitute committee. They took the
position that the committee was not
too large as it sat and any proposition
Of the miners should be made a mat
ter of record, which was impossible in
a substitute committee. The motion
to appoint a substitute committee was
lost A recess was then taken until
afternoon.

GOVERNMENT DEFEAT AT GILL
cAGo DISCUSSED BY PREsI-
DENT AND ADVISERS.
RULING CREATES A PRECEDENT
AFFECTING MANY SIMILAR
PROSECUTIONS.

Washington, March 23.-President
Roosevelt held an extended confer
ence during the day with Attorney
General Moody, Secretary Taft and
James r. Garfield, commissioner of
corporations, concerning the adverse
decision rendered in Chicago by Judge
Humphrey in the beef packers case.
NO details of the conference were OBJ
tainable at the White House, but it is
certain that Attorney General Moody
proposes to look carefully into the law
bearing upon the matter with view
of ascertaining whether an appeal
from the decision of Judge Humphrey
by the government will lie.
The decision relieving the individual
officials of the packers corporations
from prosec ution is a serious obstacle
OF the corporations will continue, Of
course, but it was the desire of the
government to place responsibility for
violations OF the law upon officials of
1DS corporations where InSy were
found to be guilty of such violations.
IN whatever efforts may be made by
the attorney general and other officials
of the department Of justice to secure
an appeal from the decision of Judge
Humphrey this point will be kept to
she front. 1t is probable that no deter
animation of the matter will be reached
hastily, as il will be considered with
the greatest care.
Attorney General Moody declined to
discuss the merits of Judge Hum
Dhrey's decision. 1t was, he said, of
very great Importance, not only as
affecting this particular case, but as
laying down principle, which, If sus-
tained must have a very serious effect
upon all future prosecutions by the
government for violations of the anti
trust and interstate commerce laws.
1t is possible that the government has
q right of appeal under existing law,
but in any event a bill is now before
congress which provides remedy in
such cases.
