pros" In the matter OF competing In
the United States open tournament,
scheduled for Myopia next August. No
one had extended an invitation to the
quartet named - Arthur Massey, pres
ent open champion of Great Brttaini
James Braid, twice title holder OF tho
same; Harry yardon, fourt1ms winner
Of the honor, and ]. H. Taylor. who has
been champion three times-and their
announced disihclinstion to accept an In
vitation which has not been given to
them is rather smusing. Not that they
would not be welcomed, for they would,
but certainly an invitation should be re-
oeived before It Is rejected. The English
open championship Is slated for Prest.
wick, Scotland, next June. so there would
be ample time for the best players from
the other side to compete in both the
English and the American championships.
Interest In professional golf In this coun-
try increased most remarkably last sea
son, more tournaments being held for
professionals than ever before. The pub
iic has become educated up to a proper
appreciation Of the playing Of the best
men of the game, and the large gallef-
res at opan tournaments for four-ball
contests follow the strokes and the gen.
eral playing Of the men engaged with an
intelligence not to be found a few years

EORGE BERNARD SHAW'S char
NT acteristic letter by way of criti-
W cism of Max Nordau's "Degenera-
ton" has just been published in book
form by Benjamin r. Tucker of New
York city. The volume bears the title,
''The Sanity of Art"
The present essay was written in 1885,
when Max Nordau's Degeneration"
had reused the ire of artists and struck
terror into the hearts of those aspiring
to be such by proving them on the road
to high Iunacy Mr.. Shaw thinks it has
it's value on the theory that to under
stand a saint one must hear the devil S
advocate. The genius generally was
depicted as a degenerate by Nordau in
such cocksure fashion that some of the
stanchest advocates of arts sanity
threw down their arms and surren-
dered.
"Thus the Wagnerians were ready to
give up Ibsen; the Ibsenites were
equally suspicious of Wagner: the Toll
slogans gave up both; the Nietscheans
were only too glad to see Tolstoy catch
ing it; and the connoisseurs of impress
sionists in painting, though fairly i'm
partial in music and literature, could
not handle the technics of the case for
them.'
The review offers some Characters
ticalIy good Shawistic reading.
Sanity of Art. By George Bernard
Shaw. New York; Benjamin r. Tucker.
In Justice to the Jew" the author,
Madison C. Peters, disarms prejudice
at the very outset and demands the inn
partial hearing which he deserves by
stating that he is not a Hebrew by
descent, but, on the contrary, comes
from a race of people antagonistic to
the Jew. His words, therefore, must
carry weight with every fair minded
person. His book is vindication or the
Hebrew viewed from all points. He
considers the Jew as soldier, as poll
tician. as merchant and in other ca
pacities. He considers him at home
and at work. He considers him in the
various vicissitudes of his history. And
he very fairly points out certain ways
in which portions of the race have not
held up to their ancient standard, While,
at the same time, he extols their gen.
eral high characteristics. 1t is book,
therefore,, that ought to be read by
every one who wishes to obtain q clear
insight into the history of this wonder
ful race and to view it from all sides,
both as a matter of interest and a mat
ter of information. There are tre-
mendous number of facts in the book
detailed facts-that make the volume
of use also as a reference work. These
are facts that probably could not be
obtained elsewhere without consider
able research, and the author vouches
for their accuracy.

respondence public at this time in order
that there will be no chance Of misun-
derstanding on the part of any interest.
"The protection of the watersheds
and streams supplying irrigation reser-
voirs deptnds primarily upon the possi-
bility of giving full protection to all
areas where grazing is allowed. The
fewer forest officers there are to attend
to the grazing business on the national
forests the more land will have to be
closed to grazing. 1t must be remen1-
bered, therefore, that any reduction in
the force of the forest service would
necessarily be an attack on the entire
grazing industry of the west. Past ex-
perience has proven that stock can be
allowed to Craze, under proper regu-
lation, on areas from which 1t would be
necessary to exclude 1t If the range
could not be properly patroled. The
same situation is true regarding the
permanent improvements. The more
water that is developed. the more divi-
sion fences that are constructed, the
more roads, trails and bridges that are
built, the more permanent the range
will be and the more stock it will
carry"
Subject Important
The correspondence given out is as
lows:
"FEBRUARY 20, 19O8.-The Secretary
of Agriculture-Sir:
referring to our recent correspond
ence regarding cooperation between the
departments, there is one very impor-
tant matter which at this time should
be called to your attention, namely, the
grazing of sheep on portions of the ma
tional forests located on areas tribu-
\ 4 So. tAr.
Requests have come to me in writ
ing and orally from irrigators and from
the officials of the reclamation service
that every reasonable effort be made
to restrict grazing by sheep on the
lands from which water flows to the
streams used in irrigation, or to reser-
voirs constructed for conserving the
water supply. There are many COM
plants of overgrazing because of re-
sultant injury to the irrigators. At this
time, when the subject of the use of
the grazing lands during the coming
season is under consideration, 1T is ad-
visable to give this matter even more
coreful consideration than in the past.
Needs Attention
"My trip through the west last sum-
mer and interviews with numerous men
representing varied interests has led me
to the conclusion that the question of
sheep grazing as affecting irrigation is
one to which we should devote much
attention, If we are to aid in the con-
servation of the water resources for
the greatest benefit to the largest num-
ber of citizens.
'I have the honor to request that, as
far and as rapidly as may be practical
BILE. sheep be restricted on or, when
necessary, excluded from watersheds of
streams now or Immediately to be used
for Irrigation. and that as to other
watersheds held for future irrigation
projects sheep grazing be carefully re-
stricted. Such restrictions are needed
not only for the lands reclaimed by the
federal government, but, as well, fol
those reclaimed under the Carey and
desert land laws. Very truly yours,

THE INVESTIGATION
SECRETARY GIVES C0RRE'
SPONDENCE TO PUBLIC
Question of Great Importance on Two
Large Industries to Be Decided
by Department of Agrl-
culture

WASHINGTON April 1S.-Corre-
spondence having a most important
bearing on both grazing and irrigation
interests in the west has been made
public by Secretary James Wilson OF
the department of agriculture. Ques-
tions relating to the proposed prohibi-
ton of grazing on streams supplying
water for irrigation have occupied the
attention of the departments of agri-
culture and the interior for some weeks,
and a cooperative investigation has
been agreed upon with the nope that
the problem may be settled to the sat
isfaction of all interests concerned. In
giving out the two letters bearing on
the investigation, Secretary wilson
said:
"a recent addition to the southern
division of the Tonic national forest In
Arizona, made at the request of the
United States reclamation service to
protect the watersheds of the Verde
and Salt llvers, and a subsequent order
to close the area to sheep and goat
grazing after April l, 1900, have brought
up questions which have most I'M
portant bearing on two great industries
of the west-stock raising and farming
on irrigated lands.
Careful Investigation Necessary
Requests from irrigators and officials
of the reclamation service that efforts
be made to restrict grazing by sheep
on the watersheds of streams used Tor
irrigation, on one hand, and protests to
the forest service by the stockmen, on
the other, have given rise to situa-
ton which can only be settled by very
careful investigation, which has been
agreed upon by the secretary of the
interior and myself. The Investigations
will be made with the one end in view
that the use of every resource must be
for the greatest good to the greatest
number.
"The investigation of the land to con-
slider whether it is necessary to restrict
the grazing of sheep and goats on the
watersheds will be made by the officers
of the reclamation service and the for
est service in cooperation, who will
meet the stockmen on the ground dur
ing the coming summer and thrash out
the whole problem. If it is found that
a limited number of sheep and goats
can be allowed to Craze on any of the
ranges on the watersheds of the
streams ir question, the order prohibit
ing grazing will be modified so as to
protect the interests of the sheepmen
and at the same time check any tend
ency there may be to overgraze the
forest or damage water supply used
for irrigation.
Because of the important bearing OF
the problem on grazing matters In the
west, I deem 1t wise to make the cor
