Our readers will remember that about this
time last year a number of pretty stamps
bearing a portrait of Her Majesty the Queen
were introduced here and SOLD at one cent
each for the benefit of the Childreu's Homes
in the islands.
Tbs year similar stamps have been brought
to the Danish islands, those in st. Thomas
to be sold for the benefit OF local charity, (the
Ladies Association those in st. Croix to be
sold for the benefit Of the Children's Homes
in our two towns
oThe new stamps bear u portrait of q form
er Queen, Charlotte ANA lie, after whom the
t0wn of st. Thomas is named.
OF course, purchasers will understand that
the stamps have DO value for postal purposes
they are merely adornments, which, however,
many'people will be willing to affix to their
letters and posted newspapers for the sake
Of the good cause for which they huve. been
issued. TREY can be bought at the Post
Office at one cent each.
Speaking of the Children's Homes re-
minds us of the good work being carried on
there in the "Asylum, 2 where mail children
are cared all day while their mothers are at
work, u most deserving institution, which we
hope will be borne in mind by our readers,
. who some months ago were appealed TO by
the Administrative Committee of the Child
reA's Homes. Christmas time is just the
right time to keep such charitable works in
mind, and to give them the needful help.

PEOPLES PULPIT.

Editor Courier: At last the persist
ent efforts of the prohibition forces
are beginning to disturb the equanim-
ity of the liquor interests. A few short
months ago an attack upon the sa-
looms would have been treated by
them with silent contempt; now they
display zeal bordering upon rashness
in their anxiety to present themselves
in a favorable light The national
prohibition movement is acquiring so
great an impetus that the day of doom
for the whole liquor traffic is in
sight. The Ottumwa Wholesale Beer
and Liquor Dealers association, NOV
ed by "a little home pride,' has train
ed Its big guns upon me and delivered
a deafening broadside of statistics
which it confidently expected would
send me to the bottom in short order
However, when the smoke cleared
away, found myself still riding upon
an even keel, with my flag still float
ing saucily in the breeze. l would ad-
wise that highly moral and surprising
ly beneficial institution to look to the
quality of it's ammunition Homo
pride, it says, through it's president
w. v. Silvers, inspires it to resent the
1nslnuatlon That 1t might be possible
for Ottumwa to acquire a higher
standard Of morals Naturally, the
liquor interests are proud of Ottum
wa, since it gives free vein to the
practice Of their business of destroy
ing the health and mentality of the
people. But are the true citizens Of
Ottumwa proud of the alliance their
town has made with the forces Of
evil? Are the women of Ottumwa
proud of the continual temptations
held out to lure their husbands and
children from paths of rectitude?
Mr.. Silvers charges that l have not
the least interest in the city. It seems
to me that every man in whom the in
stinct of citizenship is even partially
developed ought to have an interest
in the welfare of every community In
his native land. and especially so in

FOREST PRESERVATION.

The question of forest preservation
is one that is no. seriously considered
by the individual. He does not see
just what there is in the question that
should so vitality interest him and
feels perfectly willing that the presi-
dent or congress should settle the
matter or leave it alone, just as thAS
spirit moves them. To persons who
view the matter in this light there
should be something of interest in an
address made a few nights ago by
Charles 5. De Forest before the New
Haven chamber of commerce. Mr.
he Forest shows just how this ques-
ton affects every one of us, and just
why we should give more serious
thought to, it than to any question
NOW before the public. He said:
"If you can study the facts and not
We profoundly aroused, you must be
che champion sleepers of the world.
These facts must be iterated and re-
&terated until they pecome part of
our national consciousness. Bof
state and federal governments must
grapple with vast problem. Take
for example what happens in New
England on the slopes of the White
Mountains Here tree cutting goes on
up to height of three or four thou
sand feet. While the lumberman
leaves standing such trees as are not
fitted for his purposes, the pulp maker
sweeps even the sappllngs clean He
Is not looking for succession Of
crops, but ruthlessly cuts Off the hem
locks, which he cannot use, in order to
get at the trees he does need. Then
!;
the ground.
"After the forest is gone, this is
what happens: The humus or soil
dries Up loses Its f1brous life, and by
erosion is rapidly washed down into
the rivers, where it is deposited to
the detriment of navigation, necessi-
tating millions of dollars of govern,
ment money each year for dredging
The heavier forest debris which is not
removed, dries up and becomes tang
led mass of timber that takes fire
when the hunters of the woodmans
match falls into it. Insomec asses,
lightning strikes it. The fires, begin
ming in this debris, spread to the for
ests that are left and every year do In
calculable damage.
After this process is complete and
the watersheds are left bare, comes
death and the deluge. First, the
springs and the multitude of tiny
brooks that feed the rivers are dried
UP and the latter in the dry season,
get very low, causing enormous loss
of the water power. Then the SHOWS
melt and the heavy later rains begin.
There Is no soil now to hold back and
distribute equally this downfall on
the steep slopes, and SO we have the
devastating floods which annually en-
tail enormous losses.
The people will wake up to the i'm
portance of this question some day
President Roosevelts insistent de-
mands for demonstration and for the
preservation of the existing forests
have gone far to bring about this
awakening. But unless the people take
this question home and view it as 4
matter of the utmost Importance to
them action may be delayed until to
recuperate the country's resources
Will be an fnsurmountable task.

SEAMAN JohEs's GRIEVANCE.

American sailors on one Of the boats
of the junketing Atlantic fleet. Ac
companying is an Illustration which

above on the main deck the officers
and their guests are dancing. Here Is
the sailors grievance:
Callao, Peru, Feb. Is editor of
the Tribune)-Just word to ex-
plain how the American sailor is
treated on man-o-war. He ships 4
years to serve his country and the
ship he is on is his home. But when
they anchor in foreign port he is
put below decks like a dog and a
bunch of foreigners dance and make
merry. We as one Of the crew would
like to know if this is battleship or
a floating dance hall for the officers.

Seaman Jones has many counter
parts in this world. He is the kind
VINO finds a grievance in any position
he may find himself. All accounts from
the fleet have shown that the crews
have been enjoying their share of the
fun, and there has been nothing to
show that they are living "like dogs
below decks" Perhaps the officers
would have been glad to retire and
leave to the crew the duty of
dancing with the foreigners, and there
is probably more of duty than pleas
ure in the task of dancing with the
visitors, a duty. too, that is as impor-
tant in making the jaunt of the fleet

A woMAN's VIEW OF WOMEN.

A young woman with the euphoni-
Gus name of Sophronisba Breckin-
ridge, an instructor in the University
Of Chicago, told the members of the
Hull House Woman's club yesterday
that the state should create a civil
service board of woman chaperons for
working girls. This is her plan:
One Of the most desirable safe
guards for our working girls would
be found in the appointment of what
might be termed public chaperons.
What | mean Is the establishment
of a number of civil service positions
IN the state to be filled by women Of
high character and wide experience.
lWho would exercise general supervis-
lion over the girls in factories and
large establishments who are under
1 the orders Of men.
These public chaperons should be
selected by civil service examination.
ETheir duties would consist in seeing
chat strictly business relations are
sma1nta1ned between the women work
8ers and the men who direct them.
n Sophron1sba's plan does not seem to
kbe entirely feasible. If the morals Of
1.-THE working girls were in any great
Hanger of being injured through con-
Stact with the men they were associar-
I ed with in work, there is no reason
q that this influence might not prove
sjust as harmful to the chaperons, and
& the state would then be put to tina
Z necessity Of setting out another list
ls,f civil service chaperons to chaperon
she first chaperons.
The Chicago woman seems to be
3shoving on the theory that morals are
Judged largely by the station in life
3E.nd that virtue and morality are ex-
&lusively in the keeping of the favor.
Ed ones capable of passing civil serv-
Eice examinations. If she would go into
Sthe matter deeper she would find that
Athe standard of morals among the
workers is just as high as among
their more affiuent sisters; that if
S.nything there is more reason to be-
fieve it is higher, for the worker is
Poorer in her possessions, and she
l,omes to put a priceless value on vir-
Skue. in which even the lowliest can
