An Important Measure.

There are number of good bills still
in committee at Lansing but there is
one among them that all the people Of
Michigan are interested in having re-
ported out and passed. That is bill
providing for the appointment of COM
mission of nine men who. during the
next two years, shall make an examina-
tion of the waste lands of the state and
report to the legislature the wisest
method of administering those lands.
This bill is backed by the Michigan
Forestry Association. In purpose 1t is
one of the wisest measures introduced
at Lansing. If its provisions are lived
up to, if the members of the commits
sion are what they should be- disinter-
ested and public-spirited, and of wide
experience, the results of their work
will be increasingly apparent during
the generations to come, rejecting hon
or not only on them, but upon all who
have had any part in selecting them.
According to Prof. Roth, the state
forest warden, there are today six mil
lion acres of waste lands in Michigan,
lands which produce little that is more
valuable than scrub oak and sweet fern.
Because of the denuded condition of
our water sheds, Michigan towns and
cities are subjected to recurring de-
structive floods. Here are two instances
of the most wanton and extravaganza
wastefulness. Yet, of course, there are
persons who profit by it; otherwise
American common sense would have
stopped it long ago. These persons or
many of them, have political influence
For that reason, and for that reason
alone, it is question whether the gov
ernor and the legislature of Michigan
will give us such commission as we
need
For the governor and the legislature
know that great part of our six mil
lion waste acres, though too sterile for
agriculture, can be made to grow trees
And the governor and the legislature
know that trees have been, and are to-
day, though in a diminishing scale, one
of the greatest sources of Michigan's
wealth. And the governor and the leg
islature know that we Americans are
using three times as much wood every
year as our forests produce. They
know that Michigan passed its maxi
mum production seventeen years ago;
they know that wood increases in value
with every tree that is cut down; they
know that our waste acres contain po-
tential millions of wealth for the state,
and more than all they know that it is
necessary for them only to refuse the
opportunities of few political place
seekers and provide for commission
which shall place the matter compre-
hensively, intelligently and squarely
before the people in order to secure this
wealth. Grand Rapids Press
AS the bill referred to has passed both
houses it is evident the Press was mis-
taken as to its conclusion on the posi-
ton of Gov. Warner and others.

colonel who, while visiting Berlin, had
enthused over the fine appearance Of

Inter den Linden his toothpick slipped
from his mouth and an expression Of
horror oyerspread his countenance.
Approaching him was a magnificent
specimen Of an officer Of hussars, de-
bonair, alert. very imposing in his
red tunic with white fsogs. his well-cut
riding breaches and cleaning boots.

OF his sabretasche he was the IDEAL Of

AN EXAMPLE IN IGNORANCE.

Ii any proof were needed to con-
vince the public of the necessity for
the establishment of a reformatory
for delinquent children it would be
supplied by the case of Ella Patton,
an instance of ignorance, depravity,
and total absence of moral sense
which has for many weeks been inter-
esting The papers and public of the
Southern counties of the state. About
six weeks ago Ella Patton, a
forlorn little thirteen-year-old white
girl, appeared at police headquarters
in Hattiesburg at davbreak, having
walked all night through the woods. a
distance of fifteen miles, to escape the
incredible brutality of her own father,
a countryman living in Jones county.
When the girls story became known
great sympathy was awakened. Her
girls needs were provided for, and she
was placed in charge of the Salvation
Army. Lawyers volunteered their
services to prosecute the father, who
fled and has not yet been arrested.
Soon the girl began to repay the care
and kindness of the Army people with
rebellious behaviour, insolence and
many evil habits. This, added to the
burden of her maintenance at last in
duced the officers to furnish her with
means to return to her home. She
left the Army headquarters, but re.
turned in a few hours, and was soon
followed by a resident of Hattiesburg,
at whose home she had called to beg
and from which she had stolen valu-
able jewelry which was found in her
possession. The unfortunate creature
is now in jail charged with grand lar
ceny, and with penitentiary sentence
almost inevitable. What the future
life of such a girl will be after grad
uating from the penitentiary univer-
|sity of crime even the darkest mag
nation can hardly picture. She is
said to be naturally bright head
strong, and precocious, but Incredibly
ignorant; mere moral and ntellec-
tual savage in Christian land OF
schools and philanthropists, and one
who must now apparently be forced
into the lowest depths Of misery and
degradation, when teaching and intel.
lectual control might make herla good
and useful woman.
The case uncovers depIorable eepths
in Mississippi. The example Of such a
family as that of Ella Patton hooks
the self-satisfied Pharisaism that
pirates continually OF the criminality
and degradation of the lowest class Of
negroes as opposed to the virtues and
enlightenment of the whites. -vicks
