Ny Dear Co-Workers:
Pardon me If ! again call your at

II we would wrest the census taking
from the Spells system.
In response, to my letters to our
congressman, one assured me he does
not favor the civil service rules ap-
piled to the census taking, and in
sentiment, utters the old promiscuous
saying ITO the victor belongs the
spoils." One newspaper declares
there Is to be bitter contest over
this matter and we must not under
estimate the good our mite" may
do.
take also from the tone of the
above said letter, that he does not
favor the governments forest re-
serve policy. If you write to Clifford
Pinchot, forestry department, Wash
ington, D. c., you will receive publ
sations which will enable you to be.
come informed on this question of
vast Importance.
Is there any public question be-
fore us today which demands atten-
tion with louder voice than this of
the preservation and creation of ma
tional forests? Is 1t not the question
Of the hour?
In a sense we may have time for
the solution of all other problems,
but this demands that what we do
must be done now-the very life of
the teeming millions which are to
follow us, depends upon the conser-
walton of the water supply so neces-
sary to the productiveness of the soil.
Public sentiment, educated and
aroused, Is even stronger than ma
chine politics, else our nation were
doomed. Real power rests in the
people. We trust it in the hands of
our representatives in congress; Of
ten we see that trust betrayed, but
II we are but earnest enough, the
Will OF the majority will Eventually
prevail. The perpetuity and success
OF our nation depends upon it's citi-
Gems taking broad, unselfish inter-
est in public affairs, in politics, If
you please, and there is danger now
mat we are such vast multitude of
people, of the loss of the sense of
individual responsibility. And of
women 1t might be said, we are only
now being aroused to our duties and |
privileges in this respect. But | did
not mean to deliver preachment this
morning, only to exhort us to do our
utmost for the right.
