TREES EFFECT ON CLIMATE.
Differentiation Causes Arid Wastes

and Sometimes Floods.
Whether forests exercise a percepti-
BILE influence upon the climate is an
old question, and even to-day it is not
definitely settled. In many countries
a drying up Of the climate has oc-
Cured, which is shown perhaps most
strikingly in almost the whole Of AZ
RIGA. That decreasing has assumed
constantly growing proportions in al
most every part Of the world is still
more apparent. The climate Of Greece,
where to-day only 16 per cent Of area
is covered with forests, has deterior-
ated. An increase of temperature and
decrease Of rain are noted, compared
with ancient times, especially in At
tica, which was thickly covered with
forests about 5000 years ago, and
where hardly any rain now falls, while
the heat in the open air attains a de-
gree which would make the Olympian
games almost an impossibility.
A similar condition exists in the
eninsula Of Sinai. where thousands of
Tears ago the people of Israel lived in
a luXuriant and fertile country and
where to-day only forestless deserts
abound. Palmyra, also once -four
ishing oasis in the Syrian desert, pre-
sents to-day only desoIate waste of
stones and ruins
In Mexico, where the Spaniards cut
down the forests in the mountains,
drouths changing to devastating floods
are now noticeable, especially in the
vicinity of the City Of Mexico. In up
per Egypt, where only 100 years ago
rain was abundant. drouth now usual
ly prevails. In Algeria, where since
the middle Of the last century, the for
csts have been cut down on large
scale, dry weather has increased, and
In Venezuela, the level Of Lake Tacar-
igua, to which Alexander Won Hum
boldt drew attention, has been low
cred in consequence of disforeStation.
If these and other facts are kept in
mind the sentence, Man traverses the
earth and a desert results" is under
stood. 1t must not be forgotten, bow
ever, that this applies mainly to the
influence Of civilization upon appear
ances and is not always due to climatic
changes produced by decreasing
Some authorities even deny the influ-
ence Of forests on the weather and

ever, that dense forests favor moisture

He is getting down fundamentals The negro has not

not taking kindly to the nomination
of Cole for governor. We notice that
a good many>of the strong republican
papers of the state are out in support
of John A. johnson for: governor.
Johnson has made good. He is free
from every faint, and while there are
thousands OF. good men who do not
believe in Johnson's politics., they do
believe in Johnson and are enthusiasts
tic because of his stand for good
government in all of its departments.
Johnson is safe man, and the people,
irrespective Of party, who wantla safe
man, will vote for him. There is q
large horde of place-hunting spoils-
men, and they;o OF course will pull

Editor Eastman of the st. Cloud
Journal-Press does not seem to
have a very high opinion of the
influences that control the repub-
lican party in Minneapolis.
Speaking of the republican can
didates for the congressional
nomination in Hennepin county
he says:
William D. Washburn, Jr., is a
candidate, but the chances are against
him as he is right on the great ques-
tion of the day, and that will not suit
the big interests of that city. They
know that he would give the people a
square deal, and that he is absolutely
straight and honest.
Alvah evidently has not forgot
ten that those same interests y
defeated jacobson, the peoples
choice, and nominated the ''who-
is-it" discovered by them in the
swamps of northern Minnesota.

The st. Cloud Journal-Press
(Rep.) speaking Of Bryan, says:
He is apparently much stronger with
his party than ever, and it. will take
popular candidate of the G. o. P. to
defeat him. This condition is certain
ly troubling the Republicans, and is
in a measure responsible for the feel
ing that President Roosevelt must
again be the standard bearer not only
of the Republican party, but of the
American people. No man can defeat
Roosevelt before the people-and it is
conserv alive statement that the num-
Der of Republicans who can be sure
of defeating Bryan are exceedingly
limited.
What a change in sentiment
from a few years ago. The
change is not in Bryan; he is
more of a radical than he was ten
years ago. The change is in the
American people, who have come
to recognize the truth of the pop
ulistic statement that organized
wealth threatens the welfare of
the republic. And, recognizing
that truth, they are ready to
rally around the standard of the
man who takes a definite stand
against plutocracy, no matter
what party label he may bear.
If the republicans wish to win
two years hence they must NOM
mate man of the LaFollette
kind. If they make such a nom
nation and the democrats nomi-
nate Bryan there will be very
little choice between the two
parties. Meanwhile, it would be
a good thing for the people to try
to elect men of the people to the
U. S. senate, so that if we get the
right kind of a president he will
not be hampered by plutocratic
senate.

TO tho Voters.

AS the time for fling under the prim airy
election law approaches, I have decided to
again become candidate for the position
the people have so generously intrusted to
me for some time past. believe my actions
public servant have been generally salts
factory, and the record made must be what
the voters Judge by, and also criterion as
to the kind of services that may be expected.
l invite careful scrutiny as to my actions
while serving you in the legislature.
Our county republican platform is very
plain and explicit the important ques-
tons of the day and has my hearty APPROX
al.
The so-called wide open tax amendment to
the constitution will be voted on this CON-
ing election, and if adopted will empower the
legislature to enact more just and equitable
tax laws than we have at present. 1t has
taken many years before such an amend
ment could be submitted to the people, and
now that there is a fair prospect of having it
adopted the work at the next session will be
of great Importance.
Tax laws are never popular, and perfect
system is probably beyond human reach, but
this should not deter us from aiming at more
just and equitable laws on this subject than
those now in operation. 1T is we'll known
and admitted that much property escapes
taxation entirely, while many, on account OF
this, pay more than their share. Justice to
all and special privileges to none should be
our motto. Words and deeds to correspond
The public highways will undoubtedly
come in for a large share of attention. Nj
desire has been and will be to improve our
roads, believing it money we'll spent; and at
the same time as much of power and con-
troll should be retained in our township and
county organizations as possible. They pay
the taxes and should not have their rights
frittered away.
AS to regulating corporations and the pass
question and other matters not especially
mentioned in this brief letter, respectfully
refer again to my record and our republican
platform. The public questions will be fully
discussed with the voters during the cam
paign.
1t is now thirty-seven years since filed or
homestead in Dovre, this county, and
have resided here for over thirty-6ve years
continuously. am not a stranger to most
of our people, and trust that my conduct has
been such as to merit the continued conf
dence and good opinion of large majority
of my fellow citizens. 1t is with gratitude
that the many kindnesses and good will in
the past are remembered.
