frst weakness we may find in the ranks
OF those opposed to legislation of
this character. We Of this State are
perhaps more interested in the pres
ervation OF the forests Of the Appa-
iachian mountains than any othr peo-
pie OF any other State. There is not
a single navigable stream in South
Carolina which does not have its
stream souces in the mountains OF
North Carolina and these very forests
are protected In the so.called Lever
Currier bill. There is hardly a first
class water power In the State which
does not trace its beginning to these
forests. 1t must be borne in mind
that In the three States of Georgia,
South Carolina and North Carolina
more than ffty million dollars are
invested In cotton mills alone, which
get their power from the streams ris-
Ing In the Southern Appalachians.
This capital employs more than three
hundred thousand Of our citizens,
people wose daily bread depends upon
the success Of these mills. No one
doubts that the cutting down Of the
forests result In drying up the springs
and hence the ultimate result will be
that we shall come to the condition
or France where navigation and wa
ter powers were almost destroyed in
the destruction OF the forests. 1t Is
now costing France fifteen million
dollars per year. and France Is only
a very small area compared with the
United States. to reforest her noun
tain sides which were foolishly per-
mitted to be denuded. We are COM
Ing to this condition az fast az we
can and 1t seems to me the part Of

serve the forests we have now.

 Although almost everybody in Brooklyn would like to see Jackie Johnson made captain of the Bald win street engine house, there is no reason to criticise Commissioner John Malone for the stand he has taken in the matter. Commissioner Ma lone has advocated the selection of Johnson in the caucus and has tried hard to have the other democrats give the plum to the Brooklynite. But if the caucus decides upon another candidate, what Is there left for Ma lone to do? It would be nothing more than political suicide for him to vote with the republican commis- sioners. Lewis and Phillips, even should they cast their ballots for Johnson. Anyone at all familiar with politics realizes there is no al- ternative for Malone except to vote for the caucus choice and from po- litical standpoint no one has any reason to knock" the commissioner for such action. It is said that the alderman commissioner stood by Johnson in the caucus. but since he was defeated there, he would be any thing but a good loser, so his friends claim, if he bucked the party choice at the board meeting. Still the Brooklyn people think 1t is unfortu- nate that Johnson will not be the new captain. He vould make an ex- cellent man for the place, is senior member of the company he is in. and has always been looked upon as the captain of the first new fire house to be built in this city. So much com ment has been made since it was an- nounced some days ago that Tom Cavanaugh would be the lucky man that Commissioner Malone is said to be tired of the board and may resign shortly after the appointments are made.

OBJECT TO POLES
Boulevard People do Noi Like
 Them on Sidewalks.

There is trouble brewing for the telephone company in all parts of the town and especially on the boulevard and intersecting streets where people who have given up large strips of land to make nice broad roadways object to the presence of large, unsightly poles. One man up that way told Democrat reporter that so far as he knew the boulevard people would gladly give the company space for their poles in the rear of their lots provided they would agree to take them out of the sidewalks. If this wouldn't suit he thought the differ ence might be adjusted by the sub stitution of iron poles instead of the huge timbers that make the street look like a wind swept forest. He be- lieved that the company should be obliged to bury all their wires and had no hesitation in stating that 1t was a great imposition upon the pub lie on the part of the legislature to deny the city the right to build con- duits in the streets so that all over- head wires might be buried in them. He also stated that candidates for the senate and house of representatives should be questioned on these matters and that no man, republican or dem ocrat, should receive the support of the electors of Waterbury for either position who do not work for the good of the city. ''The idea" he added, ''of electing men to go to Hartford to represent Waterbury who vote in di- rect opposition to the expressed wish of the people is preposterous, but so long as it can be done without in- curing sending offenders to the grave of political oblivion from which they never should have emerged, the thing will be repeated year in and year out. I'm republican to the backbone, but have no use for a man who goes to Hartford and allows himself to be talked into voting for pet schemes of private corporations We want the telephone and the trolley, but we can't afford to maintain them and pay for such service as they render besides"
 The reporter advised him to talk to his party leaders on this subject, and he promised to do it but the chances are he will forget all about it when he meets the campaign mana gers. .
