one of the most distinguished public

Comment ON this statement has been
made to the effect that the view in
wolves considerable change in our
national policy, and the suggestion is
offered that had such policy been ell
tered on half century ago there
would today be far less agitation over
the dangers of concentrated wealth
and the power of gigantic corporations.
The proclamation of the president
withdrew from sale temporarily and
pending action by congress determin-
ing the disposition to be made Of them
about 64OOO,OOO acres of coal lands.
They are mostly in the Rocky noun
tain region and on the Pacific coast, as
the coal lands OF the east long ago
passed into private hands.
Much has been done 3y the govern
mental bureau known as the geological
survey to acquaint the public with the
natural resources of the public domain.
This extensive work was carried on for
many years under the director of the
survey, Charles D. Walcott, who was
recently chosen secretary of the Smith
sonian institution. The coal expert of
the survey, Edward w. Parker, who
was for some years editor of the En-
cheering and Mining Journal and who
served on the anthracite coal strike
commission in 1902, has recently pre-
scented some interesting figures as to
the coal production of the United
States. More coal is produced in this
country than in any other, and it Is
generally supposed that the supply is
practically .inexhaustible, large enough
at least to last for several thousand
years But the increase in the rate
of consumption in recent years has
been startlingly great, and in the iudg
ment of experts the country's supply
would last scarcely 200 years if the
rate continued to increase as now. At
the present rate of consumption Penn
sylvaniaS anthracite area will be ex-
hausted. it is estimated, IN about sew
enty-five years.
1t is urged that In future public min
eral lands should be leased. not sold
and In this way the government might
retain control of them and prevent
waste and monopolization, with It's
attendant abuses, while at the same
time obtaining from them revenue
with which to tighten the taxes of the
country.

that time is some distance ahead, and
few persons are given to worrying AZ
to what may happen after they are
dead Still it must be admitted that
the present generation has Il duty in
connection with posterity, and in nu-
merous ways society recognizes this
fact
The preservation of the forests is
based on the idea that it is the duty
of state and nation to have care for
the welfare Of coming generations, and
great Importance is attached to the
laws passed on this subject and to the
work of forestry commissions, espe7
ciaily that of the national forestry
service forming Il part of the United

Strange to say, comparatively little at
