THE DUTY OF DEMOCRACY.

The duty of Democrats holding OF
fEia1 place by the votes of their party
adherents is to stand by democratic
principles and at no time yield vital
p%ranciples to the persuasion OF poll
CT or power.
President Roosevelt airs his civil
segwice views in a veto message di-
rected against the new census bill
aEd the newspapers quite freely ap-
plaud him, expressing he hope that
Congress will not override the veto
by a two-thirds vote. The two houses
wiI9 act on the veto this week, and
their action in the matter is ssgarded
with no little interest.
AS a plain business matter Con-
gress is right in not submitting the
1000 temporary census apointees to
civil service examinations. These
| 1000 Will serve from three months to
perhaps in a few case three years,
trouble Of passing through a civil SER
vice examination in order to get a
temporary appointment. AS a plain
matter of business it is better to pro-
vide a simpler examination as the
pending bill does, for temporary ap-
pointees. The civil service plan fits
permanent appointments well, but
few will care to seek temporary ap-
pointments in that way.
And yet the cutlery against the spoils
system and all hat may deter Con-
gress from doing what it knows it
should do. If, however, the demo-
Gratis in Congress stand together the
chances r that enough republicans
will join them to knock the veto out.

Wake Forest College Celebrates An

Wake Forest, Feb. 11.-Today was
celebrated the seventy-ffth anniver-
sary of the opening of Wake Forest
College and what a remarkable
growth was seen by Major j. NJ.
C~renshaw, who was the first student
to enroll at the college seventy-fve
years ago, and who has lived to the
changes that time has wrought in the
famous Die school.
Seventy-fve years ago huts served
as dormitories; the lecture room and
chapel were combined in old carriage
shelter and the other building were
in accord with that plan, while many
of the students worked upon a farm
to in part defray the cost of their ed
ucation. Today what a changed the
college has numerous buildings, ex-
cellently equipped, a beautiful cam
pus and 1856 students enrolled, and
yet one man has lived to see all these
changes.

FOREST CONSERVATION.

A special telegram appears else
where in this issue Of the Argus that,
While not possibly on its face of gen
eral interest to this section. in refer
ence to a coming meeting at the ma
.tional capital of widespread moment,
means much for the farming interests
of the future of all this country.
Only recently President Roosevelt
sent to congress the first report of
the national conservation commits
sion, and he did not in his special
message exaggerate the Importance
of the subjects discussed by the COM
mission. The prevention of waste is,
briefly speaking, the subject the COM
sion is considering, and, to show how
important it's work is to all the peo-
pie of the country, we select from its
report a few briefly stated significant
facts, as follows:
Our coal supply will approach de-
pletion before the middle of the next
century
High grade iron ores cannot be ex-
pected to last beyond the middle OF
the present century. nor will petro-
leum last longer.
The waste in the extraction and
treatment of mineral products in 1907
was equivalent to more than $500, OOO,-
600
The average yield of wheat in the
United States is less than IA bushels
per acre, in Germany % bushels and
in England 30 bushels.
The greatest unnecessary loss OF
our sol is ~preveptahle erosion. Sec
ond only to this is the waste, no us.
and misuse of fertilizer derived from
animals and men.
Our wild game and f~ur-bearing ami.
mails lave been largely exterminat.
ed. With game birds the story is
much the same.
Not less thar $4,000, 900 acres OF
for est is burned over yearly.
One-fourth of the standing timber
is lost in logging The boxing Of long
leaf pine for ~turpentine has destroy
ed one-ffth of the forests worked
The loss in the mill is from one-third
to two-thirds of the timber sawed.
Of each 1000 feet which stood in the
forest an average of 800 feet of lum-
Der is used.
By seasonable thrift we can produce
a constant timber supply beyond our
present needs, and with it conserve
the usefulness Of our streams for ir-
rigation, water supply, navigation
and power.
What the commission desires is,
first, education of the public, and
when public sentiment on the subject
is ripe. then legislation will have be-
come feasible. In Congress, conserv-
alton will have to reckon with special
interests. All reforms do, and if the
people will take hold of the great sub
ject of conservation, the special in
terests will stink out of sight.
The country has been so full Of nat
ural resources, the need of saving
them and frightening their stay has
not been felt blythe people, and the
conservative commission is striving
to awaken them to this need For this
work the President asks for an ap-
preparation of $4,000, and surely Con-
gerss will not refuse so small an ap-
preparation in order to promote a
movement that is destined to result
in the saving of millions-even tens
of millions.
