for by the whole people, for the bene-
fit of the eastern part of the country,
since the western part is already sup
piled. Westerners reply that the east
ought to pay for its own forests. The
real reason why the government must
set aside these woodlands is the need
of the whole country for hardwood
timber, as distinguished from pines
and other coniferous woods. These
Appalachian forests are practically the
only source Of hardwood supply,
since the national forests of the west
are made up nearly all of coniferous
trees. The figures given by Mr.. Hall
are from the census reports, and show
that the country as whole, west as
we'll as east, is in danger of serious
calamity through the denuding of the
Appalachian peaks and ridges.

AS we understand the situation, Mr..

wrong for him to do the same thing

pause to any enemy however hungry

to steer as clear of her arid acres as
from the parching thirst of the desert
Of Sahara. Further down lies Bos.
ton, with Tom Lawson ready to talk
the foe to death, at any hour of the
day or night. Then Newport with a
glance of the eye would repel any
unwelcome boarder that endeavored to
penetrate the mysteries of her Bac-
chanal midst. The whole of Long
Island sound is picketed by Soy
Line steamers ready to ram anything
in sight, friend or foe, after which
comes New York, where an enemy
would be bankrupted after q 24-hour
enjoyment Of her hospitality, even If
he were not skinned before he got
by Wall street. And so it goes all

reached, when, what with hotel bills.
