EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.
Mrs. Lula Boyd-Landers, Editor of the
Concert Quarterly, Prepares a
Special Cantata for Christmas
in Which Negro Dolls
lake Leading Role.
Take Leading Role.

1t has been said from time to time
that the different departments of the
National Baptist Publishing Board
are not only competent in their work,
but they are equal to the occasion at
all times. Whether this be true or
not indications point that way.
They seem to have met every con-
dition and found a ready solution to
the most perplexing problems in the
religious or denominational world.
AS a proof of this, the editor OF the
Concert Quarterly, program printed
four times year, namely. Easter,
Children's Day, Bible Day and
Christmas, has brought this pc
riodical up to very high stand
ard, and it has been the GUS
tom of the editor to give the Sun
day-schools each quarter something
new, something interesting and some
thing that will prove attractive to the
pupils. She has been very careful to
feel the pulse of the masses and in
this way determine on what is best
Her latest and no doubt her most hap
py hit is a cantata coming out as
Christmas program known as the
Negro Dolls Christmas" She seems
to have gathered her inspiration to
write this cantata from the agitation
and the deep interest in Negro dolls.
This program not only contains the
dialogue, in which the Negro dolls
take the leading role, but it has spicy,
new songs, composed, set to music
and arranged, by Negro authors. The
recitations, declarations with the
other additions make this one of the
greatest programs ever prepared, DR..
Boyd says that the Is or 20 thousand
Negro Baptist Sunday-schools
throughout the country will not miss
the opportunity to send in their or
ders early. Every Sunday-school can
have some of the programs. The
prices are 35 cents a dozen, $500 a
hundred. All orders should be sent
to the National Baptist Publishing
Board, No 523 Second avenue, North,
Nashville, Tenn Those desiring
them should not wait until week
before Christmas to order. They
should send in their orders at once.

Large SawmiII Burned.

Vancouver, Wash, June 8.-The
Pittock q Leadbetter lumber mill
was almost entirely destroyed by fire
this morning.
The mill proper, with all the mach
inery, is complete wreck, much
damage has been done to dock and
considerable quantity of lumber has
been burned The boilerroom and
the greater portion of the lumber in
the yards have been saved, due en-
tirely to the absence of wind.
The machinery in the mill is said
to be valued at about $150,000, and
at low estimate the other losses
will aggregate 100000. Upon this
there is an insurance OF 100000.
The plant will be rebuilt as soon as
the loss is adjusted.

Portland, Or, June S.--George H..
Hill, vice-president of the defunct
Title Guarantee & Trust Company,
will not be prosecuted on the four
charges on which he was indicted
with J. Thorburn Ross, 7. T. Burk-
hart and ]. Il. Aitchison. All four
charges were dismissed this morning
In the Circuit Court by Presiding
Judge Gantenbein at the motion OF
the Deputy District Attorney.
The dismissal Of the charges as to
Hill does not affect the other three
bankers, and they sdu have the
charges hanging over them Ross is
the only one who has had a trial and
he was tried on only one of the four
charges.
1t is the opinion of District At
torney Manning that Hill was not
active as an officer Of the bank and
knew practically nothing of he deals
which led to the indictments. The
books Of the bank revealed no active
participation by Hill
If State Treasurer George A. Steer
Is indicted because of tht part he
played in the handling of the educa-
tional fund of the state, which re-
suited in its dissipation by the Off
cials Of the Title Guarantee & Trust
Co, it will be returned by a grand
jury or an information will have to
be filed by George J. Cameron when
he assumes charge of the office Of

friends of Senator Samuel h. Piles,

would add strength to the Republi-
can ticket on the Pacific Coast and
in the far west.
Republican leaders are now look
ing carefully into the political con-
ditions in that section of the country.
1t is considered absolutely necessary
that the Coast states be held fast in
the Republican column. This can be
done, say their friends, by naming
either Senator Piles or Mr.. knight,
They further argue that 1t Is time
the far west was being recognized by
a place on the national ticket.

DENUDAT|ON OF FORESTS DIS
CUSSED At BIG CONFERENCE
Prof. Waller Gives Account of the Re-
cent Conference of Governors
at Washington, D. c.

During the third period of last Mon
day Professor O. l.. Waller addressed
the student body relative to his recent
attendance at the conference of the
governors of all the states of the un-
ion, which met on May 18th in Wash
ington, DC, in response to a call is
sued by President Roosevelt. Profess
sor Waller reviewed briefly the work
of the conference, whose discussions
centered chiefly about the problem of
the conservation of the natural re-
sources of the nation: the soil, the
forests, the mines, and the water sup
ply.
In the course of the discussion which
Professor Waller gave concerning the
various opinions expressed at the no.
table conference, it became clear that
the statesmen of the nation realize
keenly that the present depletion of
the natural resources of the country
cannot last much longer, without the
country being thrown into the most
acute distress. The denudation of
vast forest regions which are tributary
to the Mississippi river, have made
possible the melting of the winter
SHOWS in the spring at such a rapid
rate that a vast fowage of water is
thrown into the rivers and spring all
at once, resulting in floods which are
yearly becoming of devastating conse-
quence.
Recent decisions of the courts of
the country have been rendered lately
relative to this momentous problem,
in which startling views have been
asserted. The most recent one, and
one in which Professor Walters re-

This decision when first made was
widely discussed, not only in America,
but in nations abroad, since it seemed
to dispute the question of the sacred
ness of the right of private property.
For, under it, a corporate concern will
be unable to cut the timber owned by
the concern, if such denudation of the
forested region would damage the wat
er supply of an agricultural population
in the lower country. In explaining
the reasons for this decision, Professor
Waller quoted President Roosevelt,
who delivered the opening address of
the conference:
"First, such property is not the re-
suit of productive labor, but is derived
solely from the state itself, the origi-
nal owner; second, the amount of land
being incapable of increase, if the
owners of large tracts can waste them
at will without state restriction, the
state and its people may be helplessly
impoverished and one great purpose of
government defeated. L. We do
not think the proposed legislation would
operate to take private property
within the inhibition of the Constitu-
ton. While it might restrict the
owner of wild and uncultivated lands
in his use of them, might delay his
anticipated profits, and even thereby
might cause him some loss of profit
and increase, it would nevertheless
leave him his lands, and their increase
untouched, and without diminution of
title, estate, or quantity. He would
and large opportunity to realize values.
He might suffer delay, but not depri-
walton. The proposed legislation
would be within the legislative
power and would not operate as TAX
ing of private property for which COM
pensation must be made. -
Pointing out specific instances of
the disastrous consequence of the care
less denudation of forest regions, Pro-
fessor Waller referred to Denmark,
once beautiful well-forested country,
but now having sand dunes, and arid
tracts of land where once the forests
stood.
Palestine was once beautiful
country" he said. eve are told by
biblical writer's that it was a land
