ST. LOUIS
/ To D

Washington State college won
the football game against st. Louis
at Natatorium yesterday by a score
of II to 0, proving stronger on de-
fensive work and superior at the
old style play in mud and slush.
A crowd Of more than 5000 peo-
pie watched the game, alternately
roofing for one and then for the
other. There were about $50 root
ers from Pullman, the home of the
college, but their yells of encour-
agement to their team was nothing
compared to the Outbursts of the
rest of the crowd at some good
play. whether by st. Louis or w.
Is. c.
w. S. C. was completely outplay-
ed in the first half, the st. Louis
team carrying the ball dangerously
near the goal in a brilliant burst
of speed and concentrated forma-
ton. But the Farmers were in SUI
perior condition and held the Mis-
sourians. and the result was that
thereafter st. Louis lacked it's
former speed. A most inexplain-
able thing was the manner in which
the Farmers made their last stand
in the first half ST. Louis worked
the ball the entire length of the
field ON downs to within seven
yards of the Farmers goal. Then
the Farmers made their heroic
stand, which disheartened the
visitors.
Jack Kinney, the big st. Louis
guard. refused to leave the game
after an injury to his ankle, but
played on and suffered great pain
An examination later showed the
bone to be broken. He will prob
ably go back to st. Louis instead
of to the coast with the rest OF
the team.

Let US turn for a moment from
candidates and politics to timber, fo-
the devastation of the ax-man is
working more ruin to this country
than any of the evils which the can
! didates declaim against or the pol
tics can possibly correct. We call
ourselves a mighty smart people and
think we lead the world, and yet We
have no better sense than to deforest
the land from ocean to ocean and
from the lakes to the gulf with the
/ stupid improvidence of the glutton-
| Gus animal which devours in a day

alarm on this subject as follows:
Not soon, but already: a timber
famine is here; and worse, and stead
lily worse, faces US as each year
passes. Americans use more wood
per capita than any other people on
the earth. They use more per capita
each year than they used the year be-
fore. By destruction of our forests,
streams have deteriorated, droughts
and floods increased, the climate
rendered more extreme, the value of
the soil leSSened. According to the
best figures thus far to be had, the
present rate of cutting, with the pre-
sent rate of growth, would abolish
our forests utterly by about the year
1880. Cutting must be regulated.
Growth must be increased. The Ma
tional Government and the few active
States should have enthusiastic sup
port in every effort to hurry forward
this, the most pressing step in the
preservation of our resources. The
iron question can wait. Even the
coal question can wait The forest
must be met. Nor should
the forward movement flag until our
forests are sufficient to feed our
streams and regulate our climate;
otherwise we shall be foolish for our
selves and but unworthy ancestors TO
those who must meet the problems
of existence when We of 1907 are but

That magnificent majority of
about fifteen hundred for prohibition
in Jefferson county. Alabama, of
which Birmingham is the county seat,
is one of the most notable victories
over the liquor traffic ever achieved
in this country. Birmingham is a
great industrial center with a cos
mopolitan population. and the
saloons were so firmly entrenched
there that to close them up seemed
absurd. But il has been done by such
a superb rally Of good men and wo-
men determined to throttle a giant
evil Lhat the whole country will pause
and wonder and admire. There is
long and strenuous struggle ahead 10
enforce the law and minimize the
blind tiger evil. but if the same spirit
that has won this victory shall sur
vive, the same resoIute purpose 10
destroy an enemy Of the common
good. even the stealthy forms of the
traffic will be so nearly put out of
business that the results will fully
compensate the effort. Evidently a
great moral tidal wave on this issue
OF the liquor traffic is sweeping over
the land. and while it plays havoc
with many established interests Of
long standing, We can take comfort
in the fact that those same establish
ed interests have been playing an
even greater havoc with social order
for an equal length of time and the
vital interests of the country have
compelled their abatement. It is
nonsense TO talk about fanaticism in
such case: it is the irrepressibIe in
stinct of self preservation.

Lieut. Alfred Allinsworth, represent
ed to be a leader of the negroes in

ed letter to the people of his race
throughout the United States on the
question of considering the desirable
ity of establishing a purely negro
commonwealth in some part of the

tenant in that scheme if he can find
enough unoccupied territory for the
purpose. There are thousands of now

of that kind, and we should be glad
to see them isolated from the white

where they could have a fair trial at
Self-gOvernment, with not white

The returns from Hayti. San Domingo

to the theory of negro Self-govern-

And now the proposition is 10 re-
open the jamestown Exposition in
the spring of 1908. and the board Of
directors is considering the advisa-
oility OF such a plan. The exposition
didn't have a fair opportunity this
year. 1t was not possible to complete
it until the season was more than half
gone. and the result has been diSap-
pOintment TO many visitors and an
army of knockers in all parts OF the
country. 1t is really one OF the very
best of all the big eXpOsiriOns held in
this country and its merits have been
obscured by its misfOrtunes. II is

draw a very heavy patronage and
