THE TWO BOSS TRUSTS.

It is amusing to see the mighty sugar
trust and the still mightier tobacco
trust rallying at Washington to defeat
the little Philippine tariff bill. This is
a measure to allow all products from
the PHILIPPINES to enter our ports free
of duty with the exception OF tobacco
and sugar, which are to pay twenty
five per cent of the rates charged under
our blessed Dingley tariff law. Our
two trust octopi pretend to be terribly
alarmed lest this favor to the Filipinos
will completely ruin the sugar and to-
bacco monopolies which they control IN
this country. AS a matter of fact the
tobacco and sugar brought in from tie
Philippines would have no appreciate
effect upon the markets fer these COM
modities, and when our greedy trusts
show alarm, it is as if a Bengal tiger
should flee in terror at the approach OF
a four weeks old kitten. incidentally.
it should be remarked that hemp. which
10 lLS pIIIlClpdl CApOAS VI VIZ - -----<
pines, would come in free under the
proposed law, and as it is the principal
ingredient in making binder twlne,
American farmers would be benefited
to that extent. But aside from all per-
S nal and selfish consi6 -ations the new
bill should pass as simple act OF JUS
tice to poverty stricken people who
are as harmless and helpless as child
rem. Having assumed control OF these
islands, without consulting their poPu-
lation. and deprived them of certain
markets which they previously enjoyed,
it is certainly as little as we can do to
allow them free access to our markets
and half chancessto support themselves
by such trade as this policy will pro-
cure for then.

Judge Longworth was once travel
ing in Italy. He was in a forward car
with friend; and when his wife sent
word for him to come back to her, the
judge remarked. I'VE had best take all
our things as the dago marquis here
might swipe them" This remark was
made concerning a swarthy looking
man in the opposite seat. The judge
was only joking, thinking too, that the
stranger did not understand English.
When the train stopped, the Marquis
handed the judge a card. He was
sure enough marquis and he knew
English. The card meant a duel but
Longworth was equal to the occasion,
for he responded, why hello Marquis,
glad to meet you" The offended noble.

Land Office, Frederick II. Newell, Chief
Engineer of the Reclamation Service
and Clifford Pinchot. Chief OF the
Bureau OF Forestry, has during the
course of two years made study OF
the public lands condition and has
brought in a report which has been
forwarded to Congress by the President
with a special message recommending
the repeal of the Timber and Stone
Act and the substitution of rational
forest policy OF selling only the stump
age from the public timber lands, re
tanning the lands for future timber
growth recommending the radical
amendment OF the Communication clause
of the Homestead Act and like
amendment of the Desert Land Act in
such manner az to require actual resi-
dence and improvement under both of
the latter named laws, amounting TO
their practical repeal.
The provisions of this report are
highly satisfactory to the Forestry and
Irrigation Committee of the National
Board of Trade, which believes that
their enactment into law, strictly en-
forced. would do away with land and
timber grabbing and promote these pol
icles on this subject for which the
Board has consistently striyen.
Inc present lnuelenSlUle land pOllcN
of the United States is resulting in an
actual money loss to the government
of tens of millions of dollars annually,
in the denuding of our watersheds and
the destruction of all chances for
future timber supply. in the building
up of lordly landed estates in the West
of tens and hundreds of thousands of
acres in single owncrships. instead of
providing for the creating of thousands
of small rural homes-in short in the
mismanagement and waste of the
greatest resource ever possessed by any
nation on earth
The attention of our lawmakers in
Congress should be urgently called to
the fact that while they are attempting
economy in the expenditure of money,
they are allowing laws to remain in
force under which by far the most
valuable asset of the nation is being
recklessly wasted.
Under the Timber and Stone Act,
the sales of public timber lands dur
ing the last five years have been as

The Importance of the Appalachian
forest cover to the cotton milling in
iustry alone. in the Piedmont regions
of North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia is shown by the statistics of
the mills operated by the water power
derived from the streams having their
sources in these mountains. In these
three states there are 1863 mills so
operated, with a combined capital stock
of $33,OO0,000, with 2,77O,OOO spindles
and 5O92G looms and giving work to
over $4,000 employees. The total an
nual production of these mills is ap-

Virginia has interests also, which

A National forest reserve in the
White Mountains of New Hampshire is
also matter of general concern and
vital TO the well being of the industries

must retain our hold upon our cheap
water power, which. through electrical
invention is being utilized as never be-

prosperity.
The creation of the Appalachian and
White Mountain Forest Reserves can.
not be left to the states: the question
is an Interstate and therefore n ma

New England head in the White Noun.

Interesting Incioents OF Lie.

CONGRESSMAN Nick Longworth, the

as able a man as ever sat on the su-

one of the youngest. He resigned this
position as he dld not care to take life
90 seriously after passing fifty. When

For Eastern Forest Reserves.

In speecn a. Raleigh, y. C., on
October goth, last, -esident Roosevelt,
said: at is the upper attitudes of the
.Jrested mountains that are most valu-
able to the nation as whole, especially
because of their effects upon the water
supply. Neither state or nation can af-
ford to turn these mountains over to
the unrestrained greed OF those who
would exploit them at the expense of
the future. We cannot AFFORD TO wait
longer before assuming control in Tie
interests OF the public, OF these forests;
for If we do waH, the vested interests
of private parties in them may be-
come so strongly inGenched that X
may be a most expensive task to oust

reserves would be a paying investment.
not only in protection to many inter
Csts. but in dollars and cents to the
government. The importance 10 the
southern people of protecting the south

forests are the best defense against the
