Unfounded Fears of Monarchy.

From the efforts of those squirnl-

and disparage President Roosevelt
in his work of uncovering crooked
ness, corruption and crime in high
places, comes the pIaintive protest
that he is overreaching his executive

This is not the frs time since the

horizon. Shorn OF adequate power
since Revolutionary days, the exec

assert himself and administer the
AFFAIRS of state with vigor and eff
fectiveness. Jackson responded to
the growing demands of the
people who had become suspicious
and fearful of legislative aristocra-
cy and welded the power that he
found was his. There were cries of
protest but the Jacksonian policy
was carried out and finally received
the approval and the praise OF the
multitudes. Al the same time a
similar expansion of the executive
power was expressed in the differ
ent states. The selection of the
governor was taken away from leg

Columbia,s Forest Police.

The worldwide movement for
protecting forests and developing
them has reached South America
The Republic of Columbia has pro
mulgated decree regulating the
use of it's national forests and a
translation has been sent to the
United States rby Consul ]. A. Man
ming of Cartagena.
1t has been customary to consider
the forests of the central and north
ern portions of South America as the
forests of North America were once
considered inexhaustible 1t has
been clearly shown that North
Americas woods were not inexhaus-
tible, and it appears that the BUSH
ness men of South America are con-
WINGED that theirs are not. and meas
ures have been taken to protect
them. Columbia has entered upon a
forest policy while it yet has plenty
of timber. BY using it wisely it will
always have plenty. 1t is taking
the stitch in time"
Contractors who cut cedar and
from public lands in that
country are required to plant young
trees of the same species in the cut
over spaces. numbering and plant
ing must be carried on side by side.
Much care is given the valuable
rubber tree in the southern Repub-
lie. In Columbia's national forests
the rubber gatherer is required TO
give the tree periods of rest, when
he must bind up the wounds with
wax or clay to exclude the air and
prevent the wood from drying. The
size of fthe missions, and their To-
cation and number, are regulated by
law The tree is thus given a chance
for its life. The forest produces,
yet lives.
The Columbia regulations prohibit
the cutting of immature trees for
lumber. They must be ripe for the
harvest. The sapplings and sprouts,
which will become trees, are cara-
fully protected. The ivory-palm,
the fruit of which furnishes vege-
table ivory. must not be cut under
any circumstances, nor must imma-
ture fruit be gathered. The value
OF this tree is in it's fruit, not its
wood.
Columbia has several species of
trees chiefly valuable for the ba.k
they produce. Peeling bark from
standing trees is prohibited. This
prevents waste. All the trees bark
must be taken. or none. The
Colombia government does not pro-
pose that bark peelers in its forests
shall take a little of the choicest
bark and leave the rest to decay,
even II there may be plenty more at
present.
Forests resources in Colombia are
great. The Magdalena. and several
smaller rivers penetrate the timber
ed regions and provide hundreds of
miles of navigable waters through
primeval forests which cover thou
sands of square miles. With tho
rapid exhaustion of timber in
regions whence the worlds supply
has been coming, lumbermen are
turning their eyes toward the forests
of South America.
The Republic of Colombia under
stands the situation and seems to be
proceeding upon the homely but ax-
cefent maxim. BE saving while
there's plenty"

A HUMANITARIAN MOVE.

Six of Richmond's foremost mer-
chants have agreed to close their
stores during the summer at $50 p.
m. every day except Saturday. This is
strictly a humanitarian move on the
part OF these merchants and one that
ought to be appreciated not only by
their employees, but also by their GUS
toners. 1t shows that these mer-
chants are using the square DEAL poll
cy towards their employees and this in
turn cannot but favorably impress for
mer or prospective customers that a
square DEAL policy is also extended
to them. These merchants employ a
number OF women, possibly one Of the
reasons for early closing. Instead of
being kept until six O'Clock after hot,
weary day, and then let out for a hur-
ried dash home to be In time for sup
per. these women clerks are now given
plenty of leisure.

THE TRACTION SITUATION.

At last our city fathers have taken
action that will force the traction in
terests to come to time in their deal
ings with Richmond. A week from
next Monday council will take action
On an ordinance declaring forfeited
the rights, privileges and franchise of
the Richmond City Railway company,
an offshoot OF the MCGOWAN syndi-
repeatedly promised are put into eff
feet. This firm stand on the part of
the city is the only logical thing to
do. For years we have been RECALLED
with promises" from the traction in
terests to do this and to do that, but
nothing ever materialized. The city
has repeatedly urged the local branch
of the traction company to repair their
tracks and that part OF the street di-
rectly adjacent. Outside of a few
empty promises the city has received
no satisfaction to it's requests, and as
a result the present proposed drastic
action is manifest The attitude of
the traction company's highest Off
Gals In apparently soothing at Rich
mond's just and reasonable demands
these same Officials will now set up
great howl and declare that the pro-
posed ordinance is an attack on the
rights of private property as it would
confiscate their local street railway.
But inasmuch as they are using our
streets on which to run their railway,
1t looks as though they were the ones
who have shown the slightest regard
for property rights. The streets be-
long to us and like all other forms of
property should be kept in good re-
pair. Those streets used by the street
railway company have not been kept
in any kind of repair One has only to
walk out East Main street to see in
what condition the street is along the
tracks. In some cases bricks have
been forced out of the street and are
lying on the surface. In other cases
bricks have been forced above the sur
face of the street alongside Of the
rails forming an ugly menace to car
riage wheels. Considering these
things and the broken promises of the
traction company we can only COM
mend and support the action of our
city fathers.

is A POPULAR TRAIN.

The Northland Limited. leaving
Richmond each night at 800 o'clock
is now one of the most popular trains
on the entire Pennsylvania system
west of Pittsburg. The train is run
ming exceptionally long and is filled
almost every night with northbound
summer resort passengers. The
'Nor'lan' limited as it is sometimes
termed among local employees, is the
one source of talk among railroad
men. The train carries an enormous
number of passengers from st. Louis,
Louisville and Cincinnati to the north.
At Grand Rapids connections are
made from the large lakeside cities,
and according to the conductors run
ming on the train, the latter is gener-
ally heightened by one to two cars for
the accommodation of those people.

GlimpSeS of a Few Sea Ports.
The Rev. T. ]. Graham Writes of His Recent
Trim Ahpnad
Trip Abroad.

February 18th was Mardi Gras. Mar
oil Gras was being celebrated at Algiers
which has quite French contingent,
the evening we dropped anchor there,
just as the sun was setting. Algiers,
city of dazzling color from the sea,
with a splendid harbor frontage and
an ascending grouping of buildings,
French and Moorish architecture, held
us en- rapport, for the five hours we
had to spend there. We strayed up
ward to the opera square, where is a
colossal equestrian statue of the
Duke of Orleans facing landward in
stead of looking out over the harbor.
The story goes that after a seemingly
ineffective attempt to take Algiers for
his country, he was ordered home. He
refused to go, set his face like flint
toward the city, saying he wouldn't go
until it fell, redoubled his efforts and
the city became French.
On the same square is an immense
mosque of marble. 1t was construct
ed by christians held as slaves. 1t is
said that it may be observed to be
cruciform when viewed from a higher
point. The architect was an Italian
slave. He purposely designed the
mosque in the form of the cross
When this was discovered by the
Moslems, the architect was taken into
this opera square and crucified. The
night we were in Algiers everything
was gay in costume and color and with
ribaldry. French, Moors, Fuzzy Wuz-
zies mingled together in Mardi Gras

modern French side with trolleys and
excellent hotels for many who have
discovered it to be an excellent win

ish city. Mr.. Ferns, supt. of the Gil
braltar Seamen's Mission, who does
personal christian work among Brit
ish sailors at this port whose mission
we visited with interest, guided us
through the strange sights OF the
Moorish section of the city. 1t was

cases splendid in their oriental style.

about enjoying their coffee, tobacco
and music. Algiers, as elsewhere In
the Orient. shows man as the ruler IN
all things. 1t is drinking and smok-
ing people but not drunken one. NO
woman of responsibility is seen out
after the sun sets and in the day time
only with covered or partly covered
face. Vice is open and brazen.
The theory seems to be that the
bad are bad and are to be protected
in it. So the good are to be guarded
with the keenest care.
In the Rue de Crossart, Mr.. Ferns
pointed out where five or six English
ladies of high connection lived in the
midst of this Moorish section, serving
as Missionaries to these people. The
gentleman named above went to the
deck with us and made an agreement
with boatman to take our party
out to the ship for one half franc
apiece and then bid US good bye. The
agreement didn't stand long. The
boatman refused to land US for less
than one franc apiece and started to
