facts of erosion as they may be seen
in every child's dooryard. Can it be
doubted that the lesson of the flood as
related to forest destruction would
come home in terms of living ex-
perience?"
The necessity of irrigation has caused
the public in California to think more
about the forests than the public thinks
about them elsewhere; but even in CAL
ifornia the public has been slow to per.
ceive the Importance of preserving the
forests. France Is spending $34 an acre
to reforest her watersheds and italy
$50 an acre for the same purpose, for
both these countries have learned the
cost of denuding the hills. But in this
country the forestry service, of which
the enlightened Clifford Pinchot IS
chief, receives inadequate support from
public opinion and is steadfastly as
sailed by great lumber and cattle in
terests, who wish to coin into imme
date dollars for themselves the peo-
pies vast heritage of standing timber,
which must be saved in order to pre-
serve not only the fertility of the great
valleys and plains, but even their

NO TARIFF REVISION

90 UNCLE JOE CANNON has been
allowed by a subservient congress
~ to shelve tariff revision. Great will
be the joy of the applauding trusts,
and especially of that grateful hene-
ficiary of the tariff, the steel trust.
Revision may be undertaken next win
ter "at the short session." as announced,
but-but-but--it will be a busy winter

does not ask that forestry be
Taught as separate study or that any
attempt be made to give the pupils
any technical knowledge of the craft
But as the preservation of the forests
is one of the most important problems
of the day in America the forestry SER
vice believes that the broad outlines
of the question should be laid before
the children, so that they may know
why it is so important in the life of the
world. This information may be inn
parted without the aid of texts as an
integral part of related subjects, such
as history, physical geography. botany
and geology, says the San Francisco
Bulletin.
For example," says the circular ad-
dressed to teachers, suppose the
teacher lives in a little town on the
Ohio rivera town that is being mem
aced by ever-increasing foods. The
teacher of geography may tell pupils
that these floods are due to the re-
moval of the forests from the Appala-
chan mountains, and that as the
forests are further removed, the floods
will become worse and worse; but the
pupils have possibly not been taught
anything about the influence of forests
upon stream flow and so do not really
understand the situation. They are
told a bare external fact that is the
end of Ii.
but suppose they had been taught
in their nature study work to observe
what becomes of rain water and snow
water, how exposed soil is washed and
quilted, and whittier the muddy little
torrents transport their burden; how
various kinds of vegetation modify
these effects; how gently the rain falls
and how slowly the snow melts in the
woods, and how absorptive is the forest
soil--in other words, the everyday

ls=sz-.9 to Washington reports, bodies

stationed at the various posts In the
east, are to be distributed among the
defenses of the coast. OF course, the
sensation mongers see in the plan only
another evidence that there is to be a
fight with Japan, but the average level
headed citizen will not draw any such
inference. There is just as much rea-
son for mobilizing the army as there
was for modifying the navy. Much the
same practical results are to be OBJ
tanned in each case, and the one is no
more significant of hostile purpose than
the other AS a matter of fact, from
the standpoint OF preparedness, 1t would
be quite proper to have a practice

time with like mobilization of the navy,
says the San Diego Union.
Should the Pacific coast ever be men,
aced it will be necessary to hurry SOL
diers here from the east. Without them
the forts could not be manned and
there would be only a small body of
militia to resist possible land attack.
In these days the practice is to do in
time of peace that which would be
necessary in time of war, the purpose

ANARCHY AND MADNESS

A NARCHY is to madness near al

Ia ported addresses of a Chicago an
archist leader at mass meeting held
to celebrate the murder Of the king and
crown prince Of Portugal. No man in
his senses could have declared that
he was yearning to go out and kill all

bodies into the lake. When this speak

he was either stark, staring mad, or he
has been grossly unsupported. If he
has not been unsupported he should be
in a lunatic asylum. Proof presump-
tive OF his madness exists in his name,
for it does not end in offsky or ovich.
It is the good old Scottish-American
rainy-day name, Mcintosh. The man
