A Mans Timber.

Louisiana is considering a forest
ry law that is just a little more
radical than that of Maine. The
measure proposes to restrict and
regulate timber cutting on private
lands, making a distinction between
the man who cuts to clear the land
| for cultivation and the Woodmen
who cut merely to send lumber to
| the market.
Such law as this has been sus-
tanned by the supreme court of
Maine, and it is thought that the
law tribunals of Louisiana will fol-
low the Maine decisions.
From this distance the Louisiana
measure looks like it would prove
imperative, or perhaps operative
to destruction instead of the pro-
lection of the forests. Lumber
companies having large holdings in
the state, and wishing to cut closer
than the law allows or with no at
tention to the laws regulations,
will doubtless take refuge behind
the section excepting the cutting
for clearing the land for agriculture.
Once pleading this section, to act
up to the part the forest must be
absolutely swept away. 1t is true
the measure is careful to define
who is cutter for land clearing
operations, and there are some
safeguards thrown about this fea-
ture; but the history of timber lands
and the many devices resorted to
by large lumber companies to Sc
cure holdings teaches that it will be
mere child's play for these COM
panies to "cut for agricultural
clearings" whenever they have
mind to.
There is no question that the
forests should be preserved after
the most approved manner, and
that even private holdings of timber
should be cut under certain re-
strictions and regulations; but it is
far step into the realms of pattern
alism to say to man that he may
not cut his own timber as he
pleases, unless he cuts to clear the
land for agriculture. Surely there
should be some middle ground
wherein the interests of the public
and of posterity could meet the
private rights of the individual
without such strenuous invasion of
these rights.
Louisiana means we'll with this
law. 1t will probably be the means
of bringing about further and deep
er state consideration of this per-
picking question and ultimately, no
doubt, it will be solved; but the
Blanchard bill is hardly the solu-
ton. Its invasion of personal
rights is too great for beginning
and its loophole for the laws
avoidance is far too large for it to
hold offenders with any degree of
certainty and security.-Commer-
cial Appeal.

Miss Marian Danziger in Class
Essay Expounds Unusual
Theme.

We do all honor to Miss Marian
Danziger, the essayist of New
combs graduating class, for the
selection and rendition of her SUBJ
ject.
1t was simple and unusual
theme for college girl to select.
"Just Living was her text, and in
her essay she championed the home
woman and advised the selection
of the nearest duty at hand. She
said:
Gwen if the class of 1908 could
not all be in some later year presi-
Dental candidates, organizers of
world-famed philanthropical work,
authors, orators, ETC., a few could
aspire to engage in the minor roles
of near-heroes, even if they classed
among the rank and file."
Near-heroes is an aptly coined
word, and one that expresses much.
How many of us are "near-heroes"
without ever realizing that we are.
We are SO accustomed to giving
first place to women who acquire
acknowledged fame, to those who
become celebrated authors, ac-
tresSes, artists, musicians or even
philanthropists, that we forget the
thousands of everyday home wo-
I men who are in their way great
heroes. The woman who is i'll and
has family of small children-we
do not mean seriously SO, for then
she would have to stay in bed
but the woman who is, to use an
expressive description, "just drag
ging around" how many of these
arise daily and compel themselves
to perform tasks that they are
almost physically unableto do9
They know the domestic machin-
cry is waiting for them to furnish
the motive power, even when there
is a servant. To realize this to the
fullest extent, let the mother be
indisposed for a day or so, and let
| the servant have full sway.
The tasteless coffee, the tainted
refrigerator, the greasy sink, the
IunsWept gutter, the dirt accumu-
lated in unseen corners, the burned
| food. all show that the Watchful
housewife is not in evidence. The
work of keeping the household in
proper condition requires executive
ability, and is far more necessary
| to the average family than the
work that is lauded by popular
acclaim.
The mother who sits up all
night with an ailing babe and then
| in the morning prepares the other
children for school, in addition to
getting her husband off for an early
business day, surely she is a linear
lhero.' The older sister who gives
up her matrimonial opportunity
because there are younger sisters
and brothers, left helpless charges
! by the death Of parents, is certainly
1entitled to her need of fame.
The maiden aunt who devotes
herself to orphaned nieces and
1nepheWs, often giving up her
chances of an establishment of her
Town, and who is often cast adrift
when these same charges reach
adult age, is surely worthy Of some
praise. The daughter who conSe.

All about us are beautiful homes
which are mere pauper houses,
