THE CoryTPT's MILITARY NEEDS,

In what he SAYS about the army and navy In
his last message President Roosevelt shows
how closely he has studied their needs and how
firm his conviction has grown that thorough
ness Of preparation is the best guarantee Of
peace and security. His most important recon-
mendafion is that a General Staff he created for
the navy. q project long advocated by The
Tribune Other possibilities Of increasing the
efficiency Of that arm of the service have been
recognized and discussed by the President, but
this promises 10 he more farrea ching in its in
fuence II aims to put AT the disposal Of the
department thes most helpful advice 10 be Sc
ciired 2 cGnsummation the more to BE- desired
since NTr Npwberrys recently announced policy
looks to a concentration Of responsibility not
hitherto obtained. Whatever the fate Of the
proposal may be. the President has done well
10 put himself thus emphaticaHy on record
Two other specific recommendations for the
navy are highly commendable. Owing 10 the
failure of Congress 10 yield to the Presidents
nlea last winter for four battleships, there are
now indications that within the next two years
the rank Of this country among the naval pow
ers Of tho world will he changed from the second
to the third place. ON he principle or asking
for twice as much as he could expect from
the precedent last established, he might fairly
enough have recommended the construction OF
eight vessels I'm the next insta lment. instead Of
in the Annapolis Academy-that Its members
should have experience I'm command before grad
uation and that the capacity thus tested should

One of the suggestions now made in regard to
the army was offered in a previous message as
means Of heightening the efficiency Of the
navy Mr.. Roosevelt favor such a system of
promotion and elimination combined as will ad-
vance 10 the highest rank officers of the largest
usefulness Precisely how the plan should be
worked out he leaves others 10 decide and 1t
must be confessed that the adoption of any
such measure would be attended with perplexl-
ties. If not with hardships. Nevertheless, the
principle has much to commend il.
The President advocates more elaborate pro
vision for famliarizing the national guard with
the duties Of the regular army. for organizing
the volunteer forces Of The country in future
emergencies. for encouraging rife pra ctice aud

and Jess Of q dav aborer than he is now. These
propositions revesl not only the thoroughness

tfR TAFT AND TIE SOUTB

Mr.. Taft's address before the North Carolina
Society on Monday night revealed the same
quality in him that brought out by his
speeches upon la Dor questions during the cam
paign. He stood his ground firmly without
giving an inch, and yet undoubtedly won friends
among those who were historically opposed to
his position by an exhibition Of ali the sympathy
with them that was consistent with principle
The soundness, justice and fairness of his views
conciIiated his hearers. They felt that he was
above all sectional narrowness If the impress
sion that Mr.. Taft made upon the SOUthernerS
at Monday nights dinner is a fair indiCa ton Of
the impression which he will make upon the
South in general during his term IN Office, and
we believe it is his administration will comp etc
the process begun under Presidents Mckinley
and Roosevelt Of breaking down the traditional
sectional feeling. His extraordinary gift Of in
spring confidence is sure 10 dlssipate those old
suspicious.
And. as Mr. Taft said the South has every
thing TO gain by abandoning its present attitude
and participa ting more fully in the life of the
nation It is entitled to a larger share in the
government. and it will serve It's own interests
by taking its rghtful place in the councils of
the country. Public questions of wider import
deserve consideration upon their merits in the
South, and that is impossible so long as every
real and living question affecting the nation is
there subordinated to the negro question" In
laying stress upon this, To the exclusion Of all
other topics. the South debars itself from TAX
ing an intelligent position questions that
vitaIly affect the New South" the modern in
dustriaI section which has taken the place of the
old patrarcha South.

TIL EORESTH

Hothinp could have been more timely Jndh
the Presidents detailed and earnest reference
in his message to the question OF foreSI pioe0l
vaton For weeks past some OF the most III
nortaut regions of the United States have been
suffering enormous losses as Il result OF Ine
st1Ipid and ruinous policy which the FresluehI
is endeaToring to check. Vast industries nave
been paralyzed thousands of men have been
made idle and pecuniary losses amounting 10
many millions Of dollars have been incurred
because of scarcity of water In places ana III
circumstances which indicate beyond reason
able doubt that the scarcity has been dlreCu!
caused by the reckless destruction OF the SLOT
age reservoirs for water which nature PrV-
yidad in the mountain forests. The bitter as
tress which New England and PennsylVanfl
have been suffering is a scathing indictment
of the folly which has hitherto prevailed III the
mountain regions Of those states and OF the
peryersfty with which certain influences IN the
national House Of Representatives have re-
sisted the enactment Of laws that the admin
istratfon and the Senate have unanimously snd
repeatedly approved and for which there mas
been a popular demand seldom equahed IN
unanimity and earnestness.
The object lesson thus presented in our own
land and time ought to be convincing and must
he to eII whose minds are not obstinately barred
against reason Tremendously significant. also
are the lessons of other lands, to some OF
which the President forcibly refers The plight
of various provinces Of Northern China is noto-
rious and no informed and reflective man VIII
DISPUTE the fact that it has been chiefly ana
directly induced by shortsighted deforestatton.
The same NAV be said of the vast regions of
Central and Western Asia. which once were the
seat of the worlds most populous and most
prosperous empires. hut which are now largely
desert wastes with a sparse and Impoverished
nopulation 1t is indeed. not impossible nor
improbable that the same processes occurred
IN Northern Africa and that what IS now the
worlds greatest desert was once fertile and
populous region tributary TO the mighty cities
which fronted upon the Southern MedlteTa-
mean.
II 4 obvious that vegetable life In forests
and elsewhere is an essential part of the econ
nrnv Of nature through which the surface of the
globe has been made and IS kept in condition
suitable for mans habitation. The result OF
interference with this. as with any other Of
natures laws Is bound to be disastrous It
would he fatuous 70 imagine that in that re
spect any more than In any other this country
is exempt from the operation of univers3l law.
The same results which have followed from the
same causes in other lands will inevitably be
fail this country The part OF wisdom is not
to fancy that we alone Of all persons are pr1vi-
legged to defy the laws of nature with impunity.
but to profit from the examples Of other lands.
to avoid their disastrous follies and to place
ourselves in accord with the laws which to
their own ruin they attempted to defy.
