The green mountains, clad in the

cool shadows deep on the vivid emer'

length between the shifting shadows
on either forest covered hand.
Along the brush fence grew luXuri'
ant wild blackberry bushes, heavy
laden now with juicy clusters OF ripe,
delicious fruit, for it was the month
of August.
Away at the end of the dusty road
stood the Langdon farm house in the
midst Of broad, green acres, now lying
shorn Of their summer crop OF grow

in the sun.

try day. The family Of Langdon were
gathered on the broad yeranda on the
side of the house least exposed TO the
breeze. The men had forsaken the
fields to seek relief from the oDpres-

year-old city cousin, sat on the steps
in cool array of dainty muslin and rib

Pinning up her skirts and DOMINIC

pail from the shelf in the kitchen and
walked briskly TO the crossroad, where
she was soon busily engaged in trans
ferring the big black beauties from
bush to pail unheeding Of heat or
scratches.
Quickly raising her head she saw
that the wood was in shadow rapidly

wondered, with a thrill of fear. Sud.

No Forests in 1s42

( 8 VI Z
All the timber in the United States
will be cut Within the next twenty
three to thfrty-three years. This at
least, is the startling statement made
by ,Appleton's Magazine in an article
on national waste, which is to appear
In the March number. To back up its
assertion it quotes figures. The present
consumption OF timberis approximate
" 100, OO0, 600, 900 feet year and the
annual growth is about 10000, 900 900
feet. The estimates of the present to-
tai supply vary from 1,400 to 1000
billion feet. Taking the former figure
1t Is found that by 1882 there will be
practically no .merchautable timber
left In the United States while, even
II the larger estimate is correct, it
will all be gone by 1912. The moral
pointed by these statistics, OF course,
is the need Of immdiate action If the
nation Is not to be robbed entirely of
one OF it's most important natural re-
sources The Appleton article points
out that other sources Of national
wealth are being depleted in the same

Is Speculation JustifiabIe?

Now, let us see what speculation
does. What justification is there for
it? Americans are known as the
greatest spectators; not merely stock
.specula tors, Or spectators in commod.
ity futures, but as spectators gener-
ally, willing to take a risk, anxious
to put their intelligence, their wit,
their brain, Drawn and resources
against the tricks of Fate. And we
have grown and grown steadily, ev-
panded politically and Intellectually
and who shall say not morally?
Legitimate speculation, then, has some
good effect, some proper function,
some economic basis and excuse.
Some of the things that speculation
on the stock exchanges and on the
commodity exchanges make possible
are, or should be, obvious. It divides
Or limits the risks of trade. gives a
market at all times for securities or
commodities, makes it possible for ,ey.
eryone to know what the market value
is of any security, of wheat, cotton.
corn, oats, coffee, etc. It keeps pace
with the increase in trade. speculat-
ors are always ready to buy or sell
at the market price. 1t follows the
fluctuation in values and registers
these changes in the market prices.
It makes possible the development OF
the country along great broad lines.
It is a means of warning those who are
holders of securities that the value
of their property is decreasing, and
makes it possible for them to take
proper action in the premises. It is

Rey. ]. H. Batten, Of Plymouth Con-

recently for the subject Of his pulpit
brief on Sunday evening: Direct Leg.
isiation and -Prohibitory Law In
part he said:
In North Dakota an objection en-
titled to even less consideration than
either OF them has been urged against
the adoption OF the Initiative and ref.
erendum. People who ride a public
hobby are apt to imagine that every
movement in the interest of larg
er freedom Of individual action is
aimed at their peculiar views. So
some ef our temperance adyocates-
more ardent than wise-have rushed
into print to inform the public that
the initiative and referendum is "a

rs The men who are most strongly
urging the passage Of the measure
are earnest supporters of our prohibi-
tory laws. The difference between
them and those who seek to arrogate
TO themselves a monopoly of the vir-
tues OF temperance and honesty is
simply in the tact that the advocates
OF direct legislation have faith in the
intelligence and common e sense of
North Dakota citizenship. They are
not afraid to leave the prohibitory
law in the hands of the whole people
and are confident that it will be sus.
tanned by an Overwhelming majority.
AS a matter Of fact any law that
has not behind it the conscience of
a majority of the citizenship in a
democracy is an unjust and tyranical
exercise of power, undermining re-
spect for all law, and productive of
laWlessness and anarchy. If a, major

are opposed to the prohibitory law. it

the big lawyer clear to the real,r.
One can see how, before he came into

that the governor has a mind that

other cases the limit of actual exhaus-
ton is not so close at hand. The as
sertion is made, however, that the
coal supply will not last more than an
other hundred years; that over bill
lion tons of fertile coil is washed
away yearly by the rivers, largely be-
cause of floods, due to the denudation
of forest lands, and that the sources
of agricultural wealth are being under
mined by improper methods Of cult

remedy proposed for this state of af-
