FOR IMPROVED WATERSHEDS
Thousands of Seedlings Planted in
Southern Caifornia--Season Has
Been Favorable

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, March 16--The past
winter has been extremely favorable
for forest planting in Southern Cali
fornia, according to Forester Pinchot.
A large force of men has been en-
ployed both in the San Gabriel and
Santa Barbara mountains. Since the
beginning of the rainy season about
one hundred thousand seedlings have
been set out. At least dozen differ
ent kinds were tried. to ascertain which
are the most suitable for use at differ
ent attitudes and under different eX-
posures.
Besides the seedlings set out on the
mountain slopes, from 100000 to 300, 000
have been transplanted from covered
seed beds to open nursery beds, there
to be held for use in the winter of
1867.
The prime object of the operations in
Southern California is improvement of
important watersheds.

HEART THAT DID NOT BEAT.

A certain Young lady who is now
grown up and very digniiicd, was
once very little girl with a big
curiosity bump. She lived in the
pretty little town of Franklin. This
little girl loved to get into the
kitchen and sniff around for goodies.
One day when chicken was being
prepared for dinner, she climbed on
a chair and as far into the sink as a
very indulgent cook would allow.
She watched the proceedings very
intently until the chickens heart
was removed. She then reached out
her hand for it and said:
"Annie, what is that 2"
''That is the heart" was the re-
ply. She examined it very carefully
for a minute. then handed it back
saying; "Please, Annie, show me
where the beat is"

GIVE THE RATE LAW A TRIAL

The weakness for agitation and
efforts at legislation, without wait
ing for the trial of laws already en-
acted, was never more forcibly IL
Illustrated than in the present atti-
tude of Mr.. Bryan the peerless
leader" of the Democrats, toward
the new rate regulation law. In
one and the same breath Mr.. Bryan
claims the credit for this new legis-
ton, and condemns it to failure. He
boasts that President Roosevelt went
to the Democratic platform for his
inspiration, and at the same time he
declares that no rate legislation can
be successful, and that the Govern
ment must take over the ownership
and operation of all railroads to set
tie the vexed question of rates. In
this inconsistent position Mr.. Bryan
illustrates the difference between
agitation and craftsmanship. The
agitator is not looking to the peace
and prosperity of the country so
much as he is looking after his own
notoriety. We have had agitators
from the beginning of time, and
they have been much like Mr.. Bryan,
but they never accomplished any
thing for the public good,
This is a government of law and
not government of men. The law
is the supreme force, and the more
stable the law is the more secure the
interests of the country will be.
Legislation is not the chief aim of
the Government. 1t is only Incl
dental-to correct the law after
that proves to be failure or erron-
eous. But Mr.. Bryan seems to
think that when Congress has enact
ed law the purpose of the enact
ment is complete, and that new
campaign for new law is in order.
He claims credit for an idea as soon
as it is worked out in legislation. If
the idea was good as it appeared in
the Democratic platform, why is it
not equally good when it appears in
the Statute? Why not try the law?
But Mr.. Bryan abandons the child
he claims as his own, as soon as it
reaches maturity. He has now
found new subject for agitation,
and it is not new even in this coun-
try as an agitation. The Populists
and the Socialists are several years
ahead of Mr.. Bryan in demanding

government ownership of railroads.
These men live and thrive by agita-
ton, and in what manner does Mr..
Bryan differ from those who have
for ten years demanded Government
ownership under the name of Social
lists? The new rate law is on the
Statute books, and the President is
preparing for its strict enforcement.
Unless he can do that the law will
be so much wasted paper. 1t is a
good time for the agitators who agi-
tate to take back seat and wait
until the law has been given trial.
