EXPERIMENTAL STA TONS IN FORESTS

EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS IN FORESTS.
In furtherance of plans for the edu-
cation of the people to the needs and
advantages of forest preservation, the
bureau Of forestry has decided to es-
tablish a number of experimental
stations in the forest reserves in diff
ferent sections of the country. One of
the important parts of these new sta
lions will be the maintenance of model
forests typical Of the region. These
areas will furnish the most valuable
and instructive object lessons for the
public in general, for professional for
e%sters, lumbermen and owners of for
est and and especially to the admin
istrative and technical officers of the
national forests.
In the station already established on
the Coconino forest reserve, one of the
first problems to be taken up will be
the study of reproduction of western
yellow pine n the causes of its sue
cess and failure. This is considered
of special Importance to the west and
southwest, as the yellow pine supply
is being rapidly exhausted and the sec
ond growth is lot producing satisfac-
tory results. other studies which will
be taken IN will be the requirements
of the different species, the time neces-
sary for growth, the effect of forest
preservation IN humidity and rainfall
and all of the problems connected with
the science of timber culture. This
data, when secured, is expected to
prove of great value to the people, who
are becoming more and more interested
in the benefits and profits to be derived
from the preservation of this great nat
ural resource.

PUTTING IT UP TO BRYAN.

The exposures connecting the treas
mittee with the operations of the
Standard Oil trust in Oklahoma and
Ohio have been developed into a ma
tional issue, chiefly by the evidence in
dicating with painful conclusiveness
that Mr.. Bryan was not ignorant of
Governor Haskell's tainted connections
when he made him chairman of the
committee on resolutions at Denver
the national committee.
So far as Mr.. Bryan is concerned,
the significance of the scandal would
have been greatly minimized if he were
in position to show that he was
ignorant of Governor Haskell's connec-
ton with the Standard or of charges
against him to that effect. Develop
ments of the day make it difficult, If
not impossible, for Mr.. Bryan to plead
such ignorance. L. T. Russell, editor
of a democratic daily at Ardmore, Okl.,
has furnished the Associated Press
with a copy of an open letter to Mr..
Bryan, in which he says:
1 notice that in your reply to President
Roosevelt's attack on Governor Haskell
you say you were entirely ignorant of
there ever having been any charges made
against Mr.. Haskell. IF you were ignorant
Of such, 1t is because you refused to read
them, when presented to you when you
visited Oklahoma last fall in the interest
of Candidate Haskell. At that time l per-
sonally presented to you ten typewriter
pages of charges against Mr.. Haskell.
covering his operations in Ohio, New
York, Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma.
You did me the courtesy Of tearing them
up and throwing them out Of the train
window without reading them. The
charges recently made by Mr.. Hearst were
all made by ms at that time.
The Russell letter puts it up d.
rectly to Mr.. Bryan. If he did not
know of the charges against Haskell,
he can blame non but himself. If he
did know of them, there is nothing left
to him but a plea of guilty as an &C
cessory after the fact. In either case,
his position is wholly unenviable.

RRY1N AND NERRAsE.

Mr.. Bryan is a citizen OF Nebraska
and as such enjoys the respect and
good will OF his neighbors and fellow
citizens. But Mr.. Bryan as a citizen
of Nebraska and as candidate for pres
ident Of the United States stands sep
arately and distinctly in the minds Of
the Nebraska people. What Mr.. Bryan
advocates or champions in his capa-
city as a private citizen may receive
the consideration due TO the personal
opinion of a respectable member of
the community, but Mr.. Bryan's atti-
tude as a candidate for president Of
the United States carries with it moth
ing that binds his friends and neigh
bors to support him merely because
they have close personal relations
with him. The people of Nebraska
have never stood as a whole for the
policies that Mr.. Bryan advocates.
Nebraskans do not believe in free
trade.
Nebraskans do not believe in free
coinage of silver or n other form
Of financial lunacy.
Nebraskans do not believe in the
government ownership of railroads.
N~ebraskans do not believe that gov
eminent regulation of railroads is a
failure.
In short, Nebraskans do not believe
in any of the numerous 'paramounts'
that Mr.. Bryan has juggled with at
times in his iridescent career.
No good reason exists why Nebraska
voters should abandon their princi-
pies merely to compliment Mr.. Bryan
as a resident of the state. it would
gain nothing for Bryan as a %presiden-
tial possibility If he should carry Ne
braska, while Nebraska would lose
much by getting out of alignment with
the progressive members of the sister
hood Of states. Mr.. Bryan has been
sufficiently complimented by the citi-
zens of his home state in the past and
his candidacy at the present time
should not be made an excuse for al
lowing the state government to be
turned over to the democrats.
Mr.. Bryan may be a candidate for
president outside of Nebraska, but at
home he is merely a stalking horse
for state and local candidates, who
hope to get into office they do not de-
serve under the shadow of his great
ness"
Two years g the congressman-ed-
itor from the Second Nebraska district
was very earnest and energetic in his
campaign for postal savings banks.
Just now he is equally earnest and
energetic in his campaign for the
Oklahoma bank guaranty law. A sus-
picion exists that the congressman
editor would advocate anything that
might possibly secure him a vote.

EXPERIMENTS OF YOUTHS.
okIahoma's Politicians Think The!
Know All About Banking.

Know All About
Hon. Ellis II. Roberts, former treasurer
of the United States, discussing THE Evils
of Guaranteeing Bank Deposits in Leslie's
Weekly, says in part:
The depositor chooses his bank as he
picks out his baker or grocer or tailor.
He is free to hand over his money to the
teller, or he can go elsewhere If he can
please himself better. The thoughtful
banker knows full we'll that his own care
and risk are all he cares to bear. The
~stockholder feels that he can trust the Of
ficers with whom he deals, but he will pre-
fer not to own bank shares II he is sub
ject to tax to make up the losses OF rival
concerns with which he wants nothing to
do. In New York, from 1879 for half a
generation, the good banks suffered for the
bad. Restraint was taken from the care
less and indifferent by the assurance that
others helped to provide against their
losses. There is no wonder that specula-
ton ran riot and turned away plain labor
and honest production. The panic of 1887
struck New York very hard blows. 1t was
aggravated by the failure of the banks,
which exhausted the safety fund, so in
creasing the alarm and compelling further
taxes. other causes acted, but the worst
mischiefs were traced directly to the guar
antee Of the debts Of the banks.
The warning which New York gave more
than two generations ago, to beware OF
the guarantee OF deposits, is as impressive
and notable as the constructive model Of
free banks. The nation has adopted the
latter; II will be the height Of wisdom to
keep clear OF the abyss OF bank losses. In
1916 the safety fund in New York was def
cient sl.O17. 90. The solvent banks which were
under the law compelled to pay tax
for the crimes or i'll fortune OF their rivals.
Tina is the nature Of such a guarantee.
II runs on without limit OF time. The sur
vivor is bound for all derelicts. He must
pay the penalty OF all competition, His
profits are drawn on to offset losses
caused, perhaps, by assaults on him. Ok
lahoms, in the heyday Of its youth. may
have reveled in financial sunshine for six
months. New York. in the stress OF two
score years, learned the hard lesson that
the guarantee OF deposits tempts to specu-
lstion, TO recklessness. and invites heavy
losses, the wreck Of banks. aud business

REWARD rHRouaH LEarsLAr1o,

LEGISLATION.
Just as SCOT as Mr.. Bryan can be
placed in absolute control of the af-
fairs of the government, the millennium
may be looked for at the next turn of
the road. The world has worried
along for some thousands of years, far
from an ideal state, and many of the
WINGED that there will always be more
or less inequality in the affairs of men,
but Mr.. Bryan thinks differently. In
his Labor day address at Chicago he
said:
The labor question, therefore, as II pre-
sents itself at this time is chiefly a ques-
ton Of distribution, and the legislation
asked for is legislation which will secure
to each that to which his services en-
title him AS legislation is secured
through the ballot, everyone should use
the ballot to obtain the legislation neces-
sary.
There is nothing, then, according to
the Bryan view, that cannot be Sc
cured by legislation. The man who
works full time for his employer, CIV
ing his attention to the interests of the
concern and even taking personal
thought of the problems affecting the
welfare and prosperity of his employer,
will be remembered by legislation in
the pay envelope above his fellow who
simply works against the clock" and
has nc thought above pay day. No
effort will be u~nrecognized and no ex-
ertion unrewarded. All that will be
necessary will be the enforcement Of
one of Mr.. Bryan's laws governing such
cases, and Mr.. Bryan will see to that
by passing laws providing for the en-
forcement of his other laws. An un-
easy suspicion is gaining ground that
the conservative Mr.. Bryan is playing
to the galleries"
