THE MILITIA PRORLEM.
prompt.

Many Of the states in the Union DOW face the
alternative Of egislatng to conform their mill
tary organizations TO that OF the regular army
or losing their aIIotments of the fund of So,
100000 appropriated annually by the federal
government for the support Of tho nationallzed
militia When the militia forces were reOr-
ganized by the act of 1903, five years were al
lowed for the standardization or the state
troops, and the time limit expires on January
81. 1908 The progress toward such standard
ization has been slow, and few states tOdny
have adopted in full the model Of organization
prescribed by Congress for the regulars. 1t
will test the efficacy of the Dick law severely

states fail TO correct their departures from the
federal norm. surrender their appropriations
and thus loosen further the bonds which unite
the two portions OF our national defence sys-
TEN.
The present arrangement has not proved in
every respect satisfactory as a basis for CO.
operation between the states and the nation.
But It was q much needed first step toward
coordination, and the experience Of the last
five years has helped greatly TO an understand
ing of the practical difficulties Of the problem.
The efficiency of many OF the state guards has
been improved, and both regulars and guards
men have somewhat overcome their original
prejudice against joint service. Yet the state
militia is to-day trying to perform two diff
ferent functions, and IN Its management two
policies cannot avoid clashing A state, Il 1t

is inclined to follow one plan of organization
and trailing, while the government looking
more at the state troops a federal reserve,
is inclined TO urge a different development.
1t IS not easy TO reconcile the demands of the
two systems and the states may soon have
to decide definitely whether they want to treat

worked out between these two ideas of organi-
cation and usefulness.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE,.

The attempt TO murder the President of the
French Republic we told was made by
person Of weak and perhaps slightly deranged
mind, who had been wrought upon by the in
temperate utterances of a part Of the press and
of socialist and anti-mlitarst agitators That
is not only possible, but also quite probable
1t Is not incongruous sequel to the venomous
campaign which the General Federation of
Labor has been waging in It's effort to union
lie" all the state employees Of France and then
paralyZe the government with universal strike.
It is perhaps more agreeable to accept that ex-
PLANTATION of the abominable incident than to
attribute it TO the Vaccinations Of a murderOus
conspiracy.
But even under that explanation the incident
is not to be regarded insignificant, as our
own sad experience shows. We have had IN
this country a much loved President not only
fired at but actually killed by wretch whose
mind perhaps naturally weak or hayward, had
been perverted and melted TO the deed by the
utterances Of a hcentious press and OF socialist
and anarchist agitators. FaIlieres was more
fortunate than Mckinley. That was the chief
difference between the cases. They both in
volved the same abhorrent passions and prac-
tees. They both point the same lesson, Of the
evil results which may proceed from wicked or
merely reckless suggestions. even beyond their
makers intent.

IMPROVISATION.

The-quest1on n9 afforestatIon which Mr.. John
Burns has raised In England is variousiy re-
sarde6. Some men oppose the planting OF for
ests on the ground that the area Of land devoted
TO agriculture is decreasing year by year, ana
that IL would be wiser 10 increase it by cutting
off some Of the existing forests than TO di1nin-
ish IL sill further by enlarging the wooded area
Others urge extensive forest planting, IN order
that the kingdom may prodnce more than Its
present SI500o,OO0 worth Of lumber a year,
and may not need TO import the present
SI5QOOOOOO worth. Some advocate the
creation Of great state forest preserves, while
others insist that the work should be done
through private effort Incidentally IT is
pointed ont that while In Russia the state owns
81 per cent Of forest lands, in Germany 33 per
cent and In France II per cent, in Great Brit
ain 1t holds only Pa per cent The develop
rnent Of a system Of state forestry comparable
with that in other European countries would,
therefore, be 2 revolutionary undertaking.
The same question arises IN America IN
syvofold form There is need of forest culture
for the sake Of supplying the demand for luIn-
ber. With ali the substitution OF other mate
rfals IN building and elsewhere, the scarcity or
lumber is becoming serious and the price OF IL
has quadrupled in a generation. There is also
need OF afforestati0u for the regulation OF the
water supply and for health and beauty. The

nous and Indispensable For the health and
comfort Of the people The maintenance Of ex-
tensive wooded areas is essential Nor is it
uniting that the state should have regard for
the part which forests play IN the attractive
ness Of the country's appearance, for beauty OF
aspect is public possession worthy Of preserva-
ton
1t is greatly TO be regretted that through in
difference or division Of counsels this country
has not yet fully appreciated the importance Of
an enlightened forest policy, ana has failed to
improve opportunities for forest preservation
which have been presented to it. II wGs lam
enfabls that IN the late Congress a well con-
eidered, strongly urged and excellent plan for
the creation OF forest preserves In the White
Mountains and Carolina Appalachians was for

hoped that plan VIII yet be executed, though it
will be impossible 10 undo TO atone for the
disastrous consequences of the delay. Another

Of incalculabe scenic and historic interest. IS
that of creating national forest park in the
Highlands Of the Hudson. The hideous ravageS
on Hook Mountain and elsewhere along the
lower Hudson suggest what will presently be
the fate of the Incompatible Highlands, with
all their wealth of historic, patriotic and ro
mantle lore, if protective measures are not soon
adopted.
IN New Jersey it IS encouraging to observe
that the state has just purchased five thousand
acres Of forest land in Sussex County for cult
walton, and now hes seventy-fye hundred acres
of land subject TO practical and economic for
estry, while it is cooperating with private own
ers in the cultivation Of fifteen thousand acres
more. These are small areas, but New Jersey
is a small state and the movement may be
taken as an earnest Of more extensive opera
tons. But what is needed is that all the states
and the nation shall adopt general forest
policy recognizing that forests are as well
worth public conservation and Improvement is
are the navigable waters, and that public
or private possessions they are susceptible of
being made in a high degree profitable contin-
uously and permanently. The notion that for
est land If left unCleared, is waste land, and
that the only profitable use that can be made OF
it is TO clear all the timber of, IS one Of the
most foolish and most pro1igate Of decisions

A Tribune Fresh Air Fund party bound for Au-

the aises and seats OF tho Grand Central Station
last night and left little room for the other pas
sengers. The party numbered IT6 in all. and is by
far the largest that the Tribune Fresh Air Fund
has sent at time this year.
II was Just $50 o'clock last night when the first
party arrived at the station Suddenly the door
at tho west end opened and a crowd OF children
began ne into the large waiting room They
carried all sorts OF bags. boxes and bundles. not
large ones even though they did carry two weeks
supply of clothes. but most OF them neatly tied
and clean. These children were only half IN when
another door at the other end opened, and another
stream began 10 pour In. Just then the front was
also blocked by third party bound for the same
place tho others
No fewer than eleven different organizations were
represented when the whole company had arrived
When the children reach their destinations this
morning fourteen more towns will have received
children from the Tribune Fresh Air Fund

PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.

The passage by the Georgia Senate Of a bill
forbidding the manufacture or sale Of liquor
IN That commonwealth after January l, 1868.
Dresages the inclusion OF Georgia in the list of
states disposed 10 find IN prohibition a remedy
for existing civic evils. We hive commented
frequently on the growth of prohibition senti-
ment IN the South as a significant sign Of the
times In that section The old Southern life was
so easy going so self-indulgent and so pene-
trated with the spirit of conviviaIty that abb
stinence from alcoholic drinks regarded as
a mark Of eccentrlcity or Puntanlsm. Every
Southern gentleman was supposed 10 look ap-
prOvingly on liquor when It was red and 10
hold that cavalier traditions compelled him 10
pass the cup which cheers and If passed often
enough inebriates. Many puzzled and regretful
tributes TO q vanished era were evoked, there
fore, when at the opening ceremonies Of the
jamestown exposition the governors OF North
Carolina and South Carolina met without eX
changing historical courtesies, the one declaring
himself DISQUALIFIED because he was teetOtaller
and the other because he was a Prohibiuonist
Old customs must yield TO new conditions
and the South has shown q growing apprecla
ton Of the responsibilities which it faces and
Of the tasks ahead of it by hedging more and
more strictly the general sale and use of in
toxicantg, South Carolina took the lead a dec
ade ago In making tho sale OF liquors a state
monopoly and ending the retailing Of drinks In
small quantities or for private profit. The dis
pensary was a helpful experiment, though in
practice it led to maladminstration and failed
10 exterminate the retailer selling secretly and
illicitly TO the dregs OF the population In towns
and cities In other states the local option
method was adopted, and this method has sue
ceeded generally because it makes each county
or city the Judge OF its own needs and places
the responsibility for enforcement directly on
the community interested in combating the
evils Of the liquor traffic. In Kentucky, long
famous for its distillery products threefourths
to four-ffths of the counties are now dry, under
the local option system. In Tennessee and
Texas local option is also in vogue and the sale
of liquors has been prohibited over wide areas.
Georgia Will carry the crusade a step further,
however, If It's Legislature passes II uniform
prohibition law and it's authorities succeed In
stopping the sale of intoxfcants to greater
extent than that sale has been stopped in
Maine or Kansas
The reason for the Souths reversal OF old
traditions Is obvious. The motives behind the
prohibition movement are economical as well
as moral With its large proportion of negro
population, emotional impressonable and In
capable of self-contro the South sees public
order and industrial progress both menaced by
an unrestricted sale of liquors. Probably half
the crimes committed by the negroes and the
