Congress for forestry Of $50. 900. Since
then forestry division has been advanc-
ed into a separate bureau Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, employing over
500 men and having an annual appro-
priation from Congress Of upwards Of
one-half a million dollars. Fully .
million acres of forest lands In the
eastern part Of the United States have
been turned over to the Bureau of
Forestry for management on q prActi-
cal and scientific basis which will en-
able the cutting Of the forest for lum-
Der and at the same time insuring

over 100000 Of the acres Of COVER
ment Forest reserves In the west have
also been turned over to the Bureau
Of Forestry for administration. It II
probable that at least another $4,000.
900 acres of public timber land will be
placed In federal reserves.

dress at the recent annual meeting Of
the American Forestry Association In
Washington, uttered q clear note of
warning against the Wholesale reduc-
ton of the woodland area In the
country.

indiscriminate mutilation Of the forests
must be stopped: the matter has be.
come one OF national interest which
can not much longer be ignored by the
people or by our legislators"
After advocating the broadest kind
Of protective forest policy. he touched
on the subject Of reforesting certain
sections. He thought that every day
should be an arbor day. that every year
should mark a notable advance In this
effort to recover lost ground.
. Plant a Million Acres.

but should plant 100000 acres In

which the United States ever made. II

reason to believe that the ladies of
Chicago would appreciate the wisdom
OF the precedent set by the ladies' of
Cleveland, who caused an engagement
with Senator Tillman to be Cancelled,
choosing DR.. Gunsaulus of this city to
81 it in his stead. The ladies Of Au-
gusta, Ca, near the Senator's home,
rose to the occayion and a similar en-
gagement with tine Senator was can
celed. Nevertheless. We take the
blame upon ourselves and prefer to
believe that We failed to make 1t suf-
fcfently clear to those in charge that
Senator Tillman's presence and utter
ances here would lower the moral
tone of our city, would breed hatred
and discord between the irresponsible
of both races, would tend to incite
one class Of Cnicago's citizens to de-
clare mob law against the other class
in short, would add to the history of
American rioting and lawlessness an
other chapter.
Chicago needs to congratulate nee-
self upon the fact that the event
passes with so little bloodshed. l was

campaign methods of Governor Hoke
Smith. Being aware of a similar wave
Of feeling in Chicago at present caus-
ed by the cartoon canvass against,

Tillman's speech would furnish the
occasion for an outburst OF racial ami

He has recently said that he
would gladly head a,mob any day
to lynch a black man who has
assailed a white woman. Why
does he not say that he would
gladly head mob to lynch any
man, white or black, who had
assailed any woman?' He would
then advance proposition at
least debatable, though not like

What Senator Tillman does
propose is that the white major

black minority of citizens out

of a certain crime, while reserv-
ing to white men, guilty of the
same crime due process of law.
1t is deplorable that any Amer

to declare mob law against an
other group of Americans.

Misunderstood SITUATION.

In statement issued late last night,
the Rev. A. ]. Carey, pastor of BetheI
church and chairman of the commit
tee OF Negroes which attempted tn
prevent the lecture of Senator Till
man, stated the position of his COM
mittee, saying:
Notwithstanding the fact that Sen
stor Tillman did speak, We are COZ
fident that our protest was not I'M
timely. neither barren Of good results.
Whereas. at first the mayor of this
great city was Indifferent as to the
Senator's appearance, not averse TO
the expression of his views on the
ace question. but to the contrary was
Inclined to sanction them by his pres
ence, he now in open letter declines
to preside and refuses to be present
because of a better knowledge of the
man gained through a more careful
reading Of his utterances, as request
ed by the committee who waited upon
him. Such an attitude in the chief
executive of the city and the similar
stand taken by Colonel James II.
Lewis, public Official, who also re-
fused to appear on the same platform
with a man who advocates lynching
and assassination, has a most whole
some influence upon this city in par
ticular, and upon the country In gen
eral. This is evidenced by the reso-
buttons adopted and wired Mayor
Dunno by organizations, publications.
and individuals from New York to
Tennessee, and the many personal
communications which have come to
me from many Of the best citizens of
Chicago and elsewhere.
This apathy of the American con-
science which permits such agents as
Senator Tillman's lectures and the
esentation of The Clansman' to
pursue their destructive work unchal-
lcngel and unhindered must be thrown
OF. The important question is 'How?"
Not alone are the good results seen
in the public oficial, but also in the

Tillnan's Dirty Dollars.

Causists have sought to main
tain the idea that the end jus
titles the means, but the verde
of Christian civilization is
against the contention. Think
ing humanity can not approve
the compromise between rich
and wrong which is involved.
1t is an incongruity, therefore.
for a professed charity TO seek
the aid of a professional SLAM
derer in building up its financial
resources. The appeal of the
Chicago Cnicn hospital to the
vituperation and the acquisitive-
ness) of Benjamin r. TillmaD
was an inconsistency.
Is charity at such low ebb in
Chicago that it can not be sup
ported without importing a saw
age huckster of envenomed
phrases to insult northern peo-
pie from the lecture platform?
Is it possible that the taste of
Chicago audiences is so perverted
that it will not be satisfied with
anything save rancor and Wifi
cation aimed at the very people
who pay the orator? And if it
were so could an altruistic char
ity consistently exploit such vul-
garity in the hope of gaining
money by it?
1t is always to be. remembered
that Senator Tillman was not the
only available lecturer nor the
most popular one. There are
scores of platform speakers far
more eloquent, far more respect
able, far more interesting and
far more intellectual than he.
If a southern lecturer were de-
sired hundred men could have
been named all of them the ST.
perior of Senator Tillman IN
every desirable qualification.
Yet Mr.. Tillman was selected
and his selection was persisted in
after everyone had full knowl-
edge of his slanderous harangues
against the people of the north.
When southern gentlemen may
be had WHY should northern peo-
pie hire southern swaggerers
and DULLES to talk to them?
The attitude is inconsistent.
incongruous and stultifying. No
northern man with respect for
himself and certainly no public
charity can consistently encour-
age a man who is merely a 'pur-
veyor of malice, SANDER and all
uncharitableness.
If money ever is tainted it is
so when it comes from such a
source. Every Tillman dollar is
dirty dollar whether applied to
charity or not.
The Union hospital should be
investigated. That it is foolish
w managed is self-evident. That
it is loosely managed is prob
able. That it is not what it pre-
tends to be is easily possible
