Congress has few more important sub
jects before it than the formation of
comprehensive plan for the protection
and development of public forest lands.
1t is subject which peculiarly requires
foresight and breadth of vision, since the
forest policy of the government will af-
feet for good or i'll the welfare of coming
generations The navy can by increased
or changed in character in a compare
lively short time, the army can be man
aged from time to time according to cir
cumstances, and most of the other gov
ernmental operations are amenabe to
modification at few months notice.
But the forests are of slow growth, and,
once lost might never be restored. The
utter lack of an intelligent, continuous
policy in the past has resulted in the de-
struction of millions of acres of timber
which belonged to the public, and in the
absorption by private parties of other do
mains larger than European principali-
ties. The question now is whether Con-
gress is to formulate and adopt definite
and farsighted policy, or permit the
ruthless determination of the peoples
heritage.
The government is fortunate in having
at the head of its forest service a man
who has devoted himself with intelli-
gence and zeal to solution of the COM
plicated problems affecting the public
forest lands. His efforts to protect these
worthy of praise. He has evolved plans
which, if followed for term of years
with continuity of purpose, are calculated
not only to preserve the present forest
areas, but to reforest waste places, con-
serve water supplies, and eventually
yield to the people profit from the sur
plus timber These plans may not be
perfect, but they are at least far more
carefully elaborated than any policy ever
adopted by Congress. The discussion of
the plans by Congress should be
thorough, and if they are weak they
should be made stronger. If, after con-
sideration, they are approved, it is to be
hoped that Congress will put as ide
momentary considerations and make pro-
vision for their execution during term
of years sufficient to test their efficiency
by actual demonstration. The time could
never be more opportune for the exercise
of forethought and consistency in dealing
with the forests, which belong to all the
people.

Choate for State Rights.

Speaking in Cooper Union last even
ing, Joseph H. Choate joined his voice to
those which have been lately raised
against the usurpation of the powers of
the States by the Federal government.
The occasion was lecture on Abraham
Lincoln, given under the auspices of the
board of education, and Mr.. Choate's
reference to the much-debated question
came incidentally. But this served to
make it the more impressive because of
its contrast with the body of his address.
Mr.. Choate had been telling of Lin
coins fidelity to the Constitution, which
led him down to the very outbreak of the
civil war, to recognize the rights of the
slave owners to the possession of their
property. The ex-Ambassador to Great
Britain went on TO tell how Lincoln, in
his first inaugural, quoted the platform
adopted by his party in the convention
that nominated him, saying:
ITO maintain inviolate the rights of
the States to order and control under the
Constitution their own affairs by their
own judgement exclusively, is essential
for the preservation Of that balance of
power on which our institutions rest"
"And that" said Mr.. Choate with EN-
phasis, turning from his manuscript, lis
just as true to-day as it was then. New
