millions of this country, respected and trusted in high places as well as in the lower levels; sane, safe, well-poised, and influential to tie best and last degree in his sphere; broken down in health to such an extent that he is forced to decline the high honor of Federal Labor Commissioner rendered to him by the president of the United States, now retires to long-deserved and welcome rest upon small compe- tency, and with the abounding good will of all the people of the nation.
 Measured by some standards this man does not amount to much; but when the day of turbulence, trouble, dismay or disaster arrives, and the people say in their hearts, Would that John Mitchell were now in place and power to save the situation, then will it be known who, and what, he was to organized labor and the government. We dc not know his successor we'll enough to forecast his status, but if he shall approach the fine, broad boundaries fixed by John Mitchell the miner, he will have made splen did use of the honors of leadership lately thrust upon him.

LET HIM DIE

Why does a maudlin, sentimen- tai perversity deny this man Harry Orchard the peace of death that he craves7 He knows, better than any fool friend he may possess, the utter worthlessness of life to him, pardoned or unpardoned, in prison or out of it; and if there is any real mercy to be shown him, let him have his own longed-for death. The past, the future; are to this man dreadful dreams fraught with appalling facts, not fancies; he shrinks from both with a self-horror that is pitiful, and yet pitiless; his due is death, and no man living knows the deep truth and justice of it all, as he knows it.
 The nation Is wearied with him he is soul.sick of himself; his life will do no man good, least of all himself, Ring down the curtain on the tragedy of it all and give him the only benefce he aska. It is the least we can do.

The protection of wom9n and children against those employers who would confne them to ex- hausting labor for greater periods than their strength permits is a national duty, duty which the government owes to the face. Tha, the vitality of the race depends chiefly upon the mothers of the race needs no argument; tbat the child whose strength is sapped at the fountain head cannot become a useful citizen must be equally true. The supreme court has just decided that the Oregon state law limiting the hours of employment for women and children is perfectly constitutional.

The protection of the fishes and other sea life that forms the food of the fish which are in greatest de- mand by the markets of the world, is question of paramount import in this section. The demand upon Alaska for salmon and halibut is annually becoming greater, while the supply is growing proportion ately smaller, notwithstanding the millions of fry that are liberated from the hatcheries each season, For this condition a reason must be ascribed The reason for big measure of the annual reduction of the number of salmon taken is the ruthless and wasteful destruction of tong upon tops of herring by the fsh-guano manufacturers. Herring Is the chief diet of the salmon, and as their numbers decrease in pro- portion to the increase in the out- put of guano, the salmon seek some other feeding ground. Concerted action by the fishermen would, no doubt, result in the enactment of legislation Tor the abatement of this menacing waste of the little fishes. Get busy, fellows.

THE FORESTRY PROBLEM

to suggest that the enormous natu- tal forest supplies of the United states and Canada would within relatively short time be exhausted, Eas laughed at as a croaker. So extensive were our forests that 1t Seemed impossible to ever reach their end Yet even the most san- suine are weakening, and the lum- Der barons begin to realize that they will have, from sheer neces- sity, to change their habit of forest destruction.
 It has been a most difficult task to make the American people See What the forestry problem really involves. The "woodman, spare !hat:ttee" sentimentalist has done much to cloud the issue, making hisdirected efforts to save the trees anywhere and evetywhere, without tealizing how futile and irrational his stopping of the lumberman" Would be. At last more rational altitude seems to have come about. No doubt President Roosevelt's ac- eentuation of the fact that forests grow to be used has contributed the realization of the idea that for Ast preservation does not and can hot mean ahstaining from the use of the matetial they produce; that 1t does not mean saving the trees, and that the forest, like all life, is preserved and perpetuated by ever replacing the old with g new crop of timber.
 :. The forest area of the United States. although absolutely large, has never been relatively so, for more than one half of the territory has always been forestlessj even in historic times. Much of the wood- land area has never contained any useful timber. Nearly one half of the mber-producing forest area has by this time been turned into farms. The other half has been, pr is being, rapidly depleted of the original timber, so that at least the most needful material will be ex- hausted within this generation un- iess the consumption is decreased. The people of the United States pse wood of all descriptions more layishly than sny ether nation. eight to nine times as much as the European nations, increasing their demands per capita not much less than two per cent pei annum. Forest f:es destroy annually thou 5ands of acres of old timber, and many more thousands cf acres of young growth. preventing repro 1uctiOn of the harvest crop.
 | IL is true that lumbermen do not great their forest properties con- cervatively, as rule. They fre- auently destroy more than is really necessary, In some parts of the country they waste more thapis warranted. In other parts they fut more closely than even good business calculation would excuse, but the fire which follows their op- srations does infinitely more harm to the future, and the fire problem ts the first to be solved, before for est preservation and forestry prac- f;na q ra yro o+ ;oo bln

The New Style for Women.

- the new summer gowns have
Il conspicuous note at all this year

to stand ont in bold relief" says
Grace Margaret Gould in Woman 5
Home Companion for May.
Much soutache in all widths and
heavy cotton braid are used. in
white and dyed to match the fabric.
In the skirt-and-coat suits the out
liOe of the coat Is shown by the
line of braiding, and either braid
or buttons not infrequently trim
the back.
Tassels are very much used
wherever Il place for them can be
found. The heavy and the fine
laces are fashionable in combination
for trimming both gowns and
separate blouses.
Very narrow satin plaitings are
much used as a trimming for silk
wolfe and net gowns. They are
often introduced in some brilliant
shade, such as Empire green, on a
gown of neutral tint. Plaitings of
this style frequently simulate bib
effect on the bodice and outline a
tunic effect in the skirt.
Buttons are used not only
where they are needed on the new
gowns. For the tailored suits
there are the fabric-covered but
tons.

crochet button is extremely high

are the view pearl bead buttons. ="

SEKSIBLY CONSTITUTES BYRD Law.
III > N-'IIN&tI IIIttII
5. S. Thomas. Sec'y.

A great hue and cry has been
raised throughout the State about
the Byrd law taking away the lib
critics of the people TO entertain
their friends, prohibiting the use
of wine in the communion services
at churches, and other charges
equally foolish and never dreamed
OF by the Trainer of the bill: or the
legislators who voted FORTS passage:
but the most common-sense and
claer-cut Interpretation of the law
that we have seen or heard was
given to the press last week by
Judge Thomas w. Harrison, Of the
Circuit Court of Clarke County.
In reply to query from a we'll
known minister, Judge Harrison
said:
"One clause of the Byrd law
fOrbids any person from selling or
dispensing intoxicating liquors, on
Sunday, Christmas or election days.
Certain justices of the peace in
Loudoun county and Alexandria
are reported to have construed
dispensing as giving and fined
persons for giving a drink to q
friend on Sunday. My own idea
In this is that they are clearly
wrong. The words selling and
dispensing in the particular clause
have reference to the authority to
sell or dispense in the other
clauses in the law. OF course. if
the law is that no one can give
a drink to friend, a clergym "a
could not give wine even in I've.
communion service. Under Ger
tain clauses in the Byrd law q
licensed dealer can sell liquor, and
social clubs can dispense liquor.
Then comes the general claus that
no person shall sell or disp is: on
Sunday meaning plainly, / think,
inst the previous authority 20 sell
and dispense shall not include Sun
day.
Under the Byrd law no one can
sell liquor at any time but licens-
ed dealer. He can sell, but not on
Sunday, &c. Under the Byrd law
there is no prohibition against any.
one given or dispensing liquor
without sale at any time except So
cial clubs at their club house. Such
clubs must have a license and then
they are forbidden to do so on Sun.

Adventure of an English Military Off,

In Tales OF My Father Mr.. Falls

him while visiting friend in Warsaw.
He had been walking with the prince
and had stepped into a small cafe.
At the next table sat n tall Russian
soldier with one or two COMPANIONS.
The soldier took out n box of dominos
and challenged one of his friends IA
game.
The prince said to my father:
Go ask him to play with you. J

to talk to-"
My father crossed over to the table
with the prince. who said something
In Polish. The soldier Immediately In.
vited my father to sit down and play.
AT the end of a game the soldier re
marked:

the barracks and ask for Sergeant r."
IF you ever go to London call at the
life guards barracks and ask for Cap
