To The Nashville Globe:
The race must be proud Of the fact
that the Globe, though a young publ
cation compared with the many years
of service which some of our race jour
nails have enjoyed, has received praise
and special notice throughout u ma
ton. Why? Because it has been and
is now, in the estimation of many, the
independent and uncompromising de-
fender of the race. 1t should be read
in every home in America, until the
support and unselish encouragement
by the race will make it a daily organ,
and then it can commend and defend
the race in its most useful place as a
newspaper.
The campaign of 1908, for the cleo
ton of a President of the nation,
comes at a time when the race, as
part of this great nation, stands on
the last thread of it's integrity be-
fore the American people. Many are
the friends the black mar has in this
country, and they are silently wait
ing the action Of the race in the strug-
gle to uphold its national existence.
Never before has this government,
through its chief executive, dealt the
race such a blow as the indiscrimin-
ate discharge of the Battalion of the
25th Infantry at Brownsville, Texas.
The results Of this act, which Is now
a disturbing element, and the future
action of the President and this ma
ton towards the black man will be-
yond a doubt be watched by both Of
the great political parties.

The standing army of the United
States is becoming so rapidly depleted
as to cause serious concern in the War
Department. The Secretary of War,
in his annual report, states as the
most probable cause of the refusal of
new men to enlist and of the soldiers
to reinlist when their terms expire, is
the low wages paid. Perhaps there is
another cause which the Secretary did
not care to mention-Brownsville
Men do not usually rush to take jobs
in which they may be called upon at
any moment to lay down their lives
when they know that whether guilty
or innocent of crime they may be
dismissed without honor," without
trial and branded before the world as
midnight assassins. There is little
inducement for a man to become a
part of our military establishment
when he thinks that he might be, like

country for almost a quarter of a cen.

Before Mr.. Foraker's friends in
Ohio became active in his interests,
the supporters of Judge Taft were
loud in %proclaiming that the senior
senator from that state would not
only be eliminated from the politi-
cal equation, but that the state would
send up a solid delegation for the big
Secretary of Wal as the next repub-
lican nominee for President. Things
are different now. Erie County,
whose County Committee Endorsed
Taft last year, rescinded its actions
this week. Judge Taft will find that
capturing the Ohio delegation is quite
a different proposition from that of
rounding up the Southern delegates
whose whole aim is to get next to the
federal pie counter.

A bill has been introduced in Con.
gress giving the Federal courts power
to punish anyone who commits a
crime upon an alien. This bill Is the
result Of disturbances in several Sec
lions of America where aliens have
been killed and the general govern
ment was held accountable for their
death yet lacked the power to bring
the guilty persons to trial. The bill
should pass. Since the whole country
is held responsible for acts of violence
against foreigners in any state, then
the Federal courts should have the
power to overstep local prejudices and
bring the offenders to justice.

TO SAVE OUR
RESOURCES

Washington, Dec. S.-Presiden'
Roosevelt at the meeting of the Nat
ional Conservation Congress in this
city tonight made the following ad
dress of welcome:
Judge Taft, Governors, Representa-
tives of the States and the great Nat
ional organizations, members of the
National Conservation Commission,
ladies and gentlemen:
i welcome you to Washington and
to the work you have gathered to do
No service to the nation in time OF
peace could be of greater worth tnan
the work which has brought you to-
gether. You have come here to make
this Nations future as great and hap,
py as it's present. 1t is the largest
National task of today, and 1 thank
you for making ready to undertake it
If you do no more than fix the Nation
al attention upon the problem, you
will do vast good. 1t augers well for
our future that you are here; and it
is to the credit of our country that in
this matter it should take the lead
among the nations of the world.
The prudent business man regular
ly takes account of stock, so that he
may know just where he stands; but
nations have been slow to profit by
the wise example. The United States
is substantially the first nation to in
ventory its stock on hand, and 1T has
begun to do so in any definite way
within the last few months.
Last May the Governors of the
states and Territories met in the
White House to confer with each 9TH
er and with the President upon the
material basis of our National well
fare. They united in a memorable Dec
laration which should hang on the wall
in every school. One outcome of the
Conference at which. the Declaration
was adopted was the appointment of
the National Conservation Commiss-
ion, whose chief duty was to prepare
an inventory of the natural resources
of our country-those resources which
are, in the language of the governors
the foundations of our prosperity. Its
report is to be used by the President
in transmitting to Congress informa-
ton as to the state of the Union SO
far as natural resources are concern
ed.

ors and Representatives, members OF

John Sharp, known as elijah IL"
and who was the real head of the lit
tie band of religious enthusiasts, is
still at large. Mrs. Pratt, with her two
young daughters spent the night in the
matron's room at police headquarters,
but Mr.. Sharp, who fired the two shots
that struck policeman Mullane, is con-
fined in the city Jail. At the hospital
this morning, 1t was said that Mullane
had small chance of recovery, but that

She said they armed themselves on
the advice of Sharp. The first she
heard of yesterdays tragedy, she says,

Alaska sentinel., 1908-12-10
CHANGE OF LAW NEEDED

That the present laws governing the shipment of lumber from Alas ka are wholly unjust and have a tendency to retard the development of the great lumber industry in southeastern Alaska, can not be denied. No other timber country under Uncle Sam's domain can show as many reasons to justify immunity from the process of strin- gent timber laws as Alaska. Here are some of them:
 The prime purpose of the laws in the states in establishing forest re- serves and forbidding the cutting of timber of less than 9 certain diameter on the stump, is to con-
Alaska sentinel., 1908-12-10

serve the water supply for irrigat- ing arid or desert regions and also to maintain the normal volume of water in streams that rise in such reserves and flow through agricul- tural or horticultural districts. It is correct that such law should ex- ist in such places, but conditions are different. Climatic conditions here assure a perpetual supply of water sufficient for all necessary purposes. Agricultural pursuits will never be so extensive in this district as to demand the conserva- tion of supply of water.
 Another reason is that if the combined mills of the world were to commence at Dixons Entrance and take every stick of available and fit timber between there and Prince William Sound, by the time they had arrived there enough tim Der would have grown on the land covered so that they could return to the starting point and repeat the performance.
 The principal reason, however, why the law should be changed is that, technically, the present law torbids the shipping from Alaska of salmon boxes manufactured out of Alaskan trees, excepting when the trees are taken from the forest reserve, and that hundreds of thou sands of cases are shipped out each year, contrary to law, For this reason the cannery interests should combine with the sawmills in an appeal to congress for a revision of Alaskan timber laws:
