NATURES WARNING

In Pittsburg alone the damage by
recent great floods is estimated at

part of the general loss. A food I'm
Pittsburg is no new thing. but this
year the rivers reached the highest
point I'm one hundred years. These
increasingly destructive foods FUR
nish an object lesson the most unob-
serving may understand. Clifford
Pinchot. Chief of the Forestry Ser
vice. points out that these dcstruc-
tive floods which have proved so cost
ly for Pittsburg and vicinity are
chiefly due to the cutting away OF
the forests on the waterheads of the
Allegheny and MonongaEcla Rivers
where once grew forests of fine hard
woods which invited the lumbermen
Now the slopes are barren, and the
water comes rushing down the CORFU
gated mountain sides i'm such vast
quantities as TO quickly poduce de
strhctive floods i'm the valleys below
The same conditions and dangers
exist and are increasing i'm the Appa-
lachian region. On the mountain
range running through Virginia. Ten
nessee, Georgia and North Carolina
and which forms the great watershed
between the Mississippi Valley and
the Atlantic coast, the work OF de
struction is continually in progress.
! The mountains are being denuded OF
! their timber. the mountain sides are
becoming bare and ribbed with gul.
lies and when the rains comes the
valley streams are suddenly over
flowed and great destruction follows
When the timber is practically all
gone numerous floods will occuI
every spring to be followed by peri
DDS OF destructive drought, even more
costly than the floods. The
| moisture that would be retained in
the mountains if wooded. to feed the
valley streams, is carried off i'm swift
surface drainage, and the streams be
come very low in summer. No
single thing could be of more value
or importance to the South than the
establishment OF the Appalachian
Park Reserve. Its establishment
would mean great protection to the
South and the saving of hundreds of
millions. 1t is an outrage, that
Speaker Cannon has persistently
stood in the way of the passage of
this measure. Unless he is inexcusa-
bly, ignorant, he must know some
thing of its great value. He is simp-
ly Indifferent to the interests of a
section that is of no immediate po-
litical value to him He is genial

$40 by stopping passes. OF course =
don't know about other roads. but
so far as I have heard that is the
general experience How do / ac.
count for IT? Simply by the fact
that a great many in fact most OF
those who used TO travel on free
transportation now stay at home.
They quit travelling when they
ceased to- receive passes. That's al
there is to it. 1t all shows that We
haven't made anything by the stop
ping OF passes. and it didn't cost "a.
anything TO give them. We have no
not been able to reduce travelling

fewer cars on those we run. The
expense is just the same. but we car

PETITION rs DENIED
SETBACK FOR THREE TRUSTEES
IN EDDY CASE AT CONCORD.

CONCORD, N. H, June 5.-The petition
of the three trustees to whom Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy had transferred her property,
asking that they be substituted as plain
tiffs in place of next friends in the suit
to secure an accounting of Mrs. Eddys
property, was denied today by Judge Rob-
ert n. Chamberlain of the Merrimack su-
perior court. The trustees are Henry NJ.
Baker of Bow, Josiah e. Fernald of Con-
cord and Archibald Mcclellan of Boston.
The next friends are Geo. w. Glover
of Lead, s. D., son of Mrs. Eddy; Mary
Baker Glover, his daughter, and DR.. ].
Foster Eddy of Waterbury. VT, an adopted
son, George Baker of Bangor, cousin, and
Fred w. Baker of Epson, N. H, a cousin
The suit is for an accounting of Mrs.
Eddys property, which, 1t is alleged, is
under control of Calvin A Frye, Mrs.
Eddy's secretary, and other Christian Sci
ence leaders. who named as defendants.
The question of Mrs. Eddys physical and
mental condition figures in the action.

JUST CAMPAIGN LITERATURE.
Senator Foraker Pronounces Certain
kilograms Without Truth.

Two kilograms were printed in some of
this mornings papers regarding the politi-
cal situation in Ohio. and intimating that
Senator Foraker had given up the fight.
Senator Foraker. upon having his attention
called to the reports today by a Star re-
porter said
II decline to discuss the telegram from
Cincinnati announcing that Mr. Malloy,
representing Senator Dick and myself, has
had an interview with Mr.. Charles P. Taft
and others at Cincinnati with the result
that Mr. Taft has graciously consented to
let bygones be bygones, etc, and so on.
NO such interview has been had with
my knowledge and approval. That is all
l have to say on that point.
LAS to the other telegram from Akron
that Senator Dick has closed up the For
aker headquarters, etc, / did not know
until l read the telegram that l ever had
any headquarters in Akron any other
place. What Senator Dick may have done,
or may not have done, do not know, but
he has not established any headquarters
to my knowledge; neither has he closed any.
In other words, both of these kilograms
are without any foundation in fact. They
are simply much campaign literature
doubtless emanating from a well-organ-
lied and ably conducted literary bureau"
