SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY
SHOULD HAVE A HAND
Gov. Smith Declares Sec
tiOnaIiSm Has Passed.

NEW York, Dec 14-(SpeciaD-
Coy. Hoke Smith, of Georgia, who
is at the Fifth Avenue Hotel with his
family, declared it his belief and
that of Southern Democrats general
ly that the time had passed when the
leadership of the Democratic party
in the nation could be sectional.
Democrats throughout the South,
he said, were ready for concerted
action, and, although there was no
Southern man just as present who
wanted the nomination for President,
the Southern Democracy would not
hesitate to support candidate of its
over if it had one.
Il never saw such a chaotic condi-
ton" he said, abiding to national
politics. The more one looks at it
the more choatic it becomes. To
tell the truth, I have no definite views
on the situation"
do you find any general senti-
ment among outhern Democrats
looking toward concerted action?" he
was asked.
Il will say just this: The South
doesn't mean to be treated any longer
as if it were in state of secession.
We are just as loyal as any other
people National sentiment is just
as strong in the South as in any other
part of the country, and the feel
ing for the Constitution is a good
deal stronger there than it is in
some other places.
I'VE are willing to follow the flag
farther than most people. Our young
people read the history of the Civil
War almost without knowing which
side they are on. We regard a Sou
thern Democrat as just as good as
any other Democrat, and we think he
is entitled to be considered in ac-
cordance with the amount of gray
matter he possesses and not merely
in respect to the section of the
country he comes from, The leader
ship of the Democratic party is not
to be sectional"
':Will the South have a candidate
at the next national convention?''
81 do not think So There is no
one in the South now who wants the
nomination, but if the South had a
candidate of its own ! think the Sou
thern Democrats would not hesitate
to support him in the convention

YELLOW PERIL
REAL TO ENGLAND

LONDON, Dec. 14.-(SpeciaD Sir
Thomas Sutherlands note of alarm,
uttered on Tuesday about Japanese
competition seems to be making Eng
lishmen as whether the phrase "Yel-
low Peril" is really empty of mean
ing. The subject is receiving a good
deal of attention in fact.
The Japanese Navy that swept the
Russians from the seas was built
mainly in Great Britain, but today
Japan builds not only her own navy,
but the Chinese war vessels, and
ships for Siam and India Japanese
ship builders, like Japanese ship
pers, are helped by heavy Government
subsidies-$1O per ton is paid on
steamers of over 900 tons burthen,
and $3.50 per horse power on en-
gines.
Five years ago English cotton spin
ners laughed at Japanese competi-
ton, they laugh no longer. Japan
csc cotton goods are still, on the
whole, of coarse counts and poor quail
ity, but they are improving every
year So far as cotton machinery is
concerned, Japan cannot do without
England Great efforts have been
made to manufacture this machinery
in Japan, but without success.
Mr.. Mckenzie adds that American
ship owners are feeling the pinch at
least as severely as the British. Jap
anese competition is rapidly destroy
the American Pacific services, and
the American. shipping kings have
repeatedly declared that unless their
Government helps them they will
abandon the fight.

Toledo Blade: In the inquiry as to
the reason for the frequency of railroad
disasters, there may be food for thought
in the suggestion that the policy of
some roads in letting out old, exper-
fenced men to give place to youths OF
tender age, may have something to do
with the situation. While youth is to
be desired in order to secure activity,
isn't it just possible that in the effort
to get young men into railroad service,
the pendulum has swung too far in Sc
curing activity at the expense Of relia.
bility?t Some Of the railroads have al
ready realized this fact and have relax.
ed their rules relative to keeping men
in the service, and to age restriction.

of a heavy loan, made up of alluvial
deposits, placed here by nature centur-
les ago, where what is now the Ked
River Valley, was large placer lake
The black loam is from one to three
feet thick and any of this soil when
turned up to the action of tn esun and

tation. For fertility there is nothing

ID
for acquisition BY the
government. the report suggests
plan whereby with the aid Of sew
eral states and the corporation Of
private owners proper management
of most of the forest land might be
secured. The creation OF National
forests, as is pointed out, will not
interfere with local Industries, but
rather it Will aid them. Govern
ment protection OF the forests would
solve the fire problem of the region.
1t would not hinder mining and
prospecting, and to farming and
fruit growing 1t would give a ma
terfal stimulus, since protection OF
the higher mountain slopes would
greatly increase the safety of these
Industries in the valleys below
Nor would National Forests inter-
fere in the slightest degree with
settlers who own and cultivate
small farms along the mountain
streams, nor would it stop. the use
Of the mountains for grazing. The
many other uses OF the mountains
would be furthered rather than him
dred, and ten per cent of all rev
enues which the government receiv-
ed from the forests would be given
to the counties in which the forests
were. The great industries, such
as the furniture, cooperage, wagon,
etc, which depend upon supply OF
hardwoods would be benefited in
calculably, and the vast capital
which depends upon water power
would be made secure.
Taken as whole, the report
marks distinct step forward by
outlining a definite program for
preserving for continuous use one
of the nations greatest resources.

Secretary Wilson'S Report

AS a result of one of the most
extensive and thoroughgoing field
Investigations which the govern
ment has ever conducted, Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson, in his special
report transmitted to congress,
recommends that the government
acquire an era not to exceed 6OO,-
900 acres in the White Mountains
and areas aggregating not more
than 100000 acres in the South
ern Appalaehfans for the establish
ment of national forests. The av-
erage price to be paid per acre is
put at Sc for the White Mountains
and at $3.50 for the Southern Ap-
palachians. The lands which it IS
recommended that the Government
take over lie in the Blude Ridge
and Great Smoky Mountains of
North Carolina and Tennessee,
Georgia and South Carolina, in the
Allegheny Mountains of eastern and
southern West Virginia and western
Virginia, in the Cumberland noun
tains of eastern Kentucy, Tennes-
see and northern Alabama, and in
the four main ranges of the White
Mountains, mostly in New Hamp-
shire. Immediate action is urged
by the secretary since the natural
resources of both regions are being
seriously impaired by reckless lum-
bering and wasteful use.
The report of the secretary con-
tains the first complete study OF con
ditious in the Southern Appala-
chains and White Mountains, and
gives some startling facts concern
ing the amount of water power
available. the dependence of the ma
tion upon the Southern Appala-
chians for its future hardwood sup
ply, and the enormous reduction in
the value for water power and nav
igation of the streams which would
result from the removal of the for
ests from the mountains. The sec
rotary emphasizes the fact that the
two regions under consideration
are advancing rapidly toward
condition of baroness and sterility.
It is estimated that in the upland
country south OF Pennsylvania not
less than 100 square miles of ara
BILE and forestable land are abso-
lutely lost each year through the
complete removal of the woods and
the consequent washing of the soil.
