At every stage in the Prohibition advance,
I have been found on the firing line. In the
Legislative battle of 1898, the leader of the
Temperance forces selected me to make the
closing argument for the Local Option meas
ure, under which the saloons we're swept out
of two-thirds of the counties of Georgia.
During all these years, there has never been
a single one of them in which I failed to
give money to the Baptist Church. The sum
total, to the various churches during the in
terval between nay coming of age and the
present time, would run into thousands.
Pray forgive me for all this apparent ego
tism; it is a necessary prelude to my telling
you something about the Baptist paper, The
Christian I2oden
For several months this denominational or
gan has been publishing articles which as
sailed my position on Foreign Missions. In
those articles, my true attitude has not been
explained. Neither my facts nor my argu-
ments have been placed in the ri ht light.
A lady friend of mine, Miss Leonora Shep-

Whereas, we believe the Farmers

Whereas, we believe we are drift
ing into such alliances by admitting
to our conventions fraternal dele
gates from organizations which we
believe are not in sympathy with the
reforms for which we are fighting;
and, by electing delegates to attend
their conventions; and especially do
we think it inconsistent in our Ma
tional Convention to eject a member
of the Typographical Union to rep
resent us at an international labor

other defender of the present indefensible
system.
They began to claim that the article offered
by President Mclean was refused, because it
demolished me. To demonstrate the con-
trary, the Presidents long, dull commonplace
article was promptly published. It did not
demoGsh anything: excepting considerable
amount of space which might have been used
to better advantage
McLean's ''piece" was SO prosy that it did
not even jar the kitten off the hearth-rug.
Now, since [ have dealt so fairly with the
champions of the anti-apostolic methods, is it
not astonishing that they refuse to recipro-
cate?
[ do not set myself up as a model man, a
perfect Christian, paragon of civic virtue,-
yet they have adopted tone and manner
toward me that [ would be ashamed to copy.
They indulge in personal abuse and malig-
nant misrepresentation; they permit all sorts
OF attacks to be made on me, IN their papers;
and they then refuse me the privilege of de-
Tending myself.
Reader, can you approve Of that kind Of
thing? You ao0uzd not condemn the moearaest
negro, qoithout hearing, aoouzd you?
If you were publishing paper, and had
allowed some one to attack me, would you
deny me hearing in self-defence?
That any gentleman could do such thing,
is incredible.

ed States in forest fires, making a total
Of nearly 1000 lives sacrificed to flames
which might have been prevented.
Armstrong maintains that the chief
reason for the spread of the fire is af-
ter a blaze is discovered a long time
elapses before the alarm can be sound
ed and aid summoned to fight the
flames. Many of the large lumber con-
Germs of the Pacific northwest have
considered using telephone lines for
connecting camps of forest rangers, but
this was given up for the reason that
the fires would burn the poles or the
wind would blow them down so often
that they would be useless most of the
time. Then, too, it was found that in
many timber tracts the country is so
rugged and the standing timber so heavy
it would be almost impossible to stretch
a wire line.
However, the forest service has built
hundreds of miles of telephone lines
and cut trails through the big govern
ment forests in Idaho, Washington,
Montana and other western states,
whece it also maintains patrols. These
were found of good use during the fires
in 1907 and 1908, but large areas were
burned over as the result of the fires
gaining great Roadway before they
could be located by range riders.
The Washington Forest Fire associa-
ton employed between 500 and eco ex-
ira men in addition to its rs patrolmen
to fight and prevent fires in the west
ern part of the state last year, and
there were so many more at work in
the eastern and north central portions.
| The logging and numbering industry is
! the largest and most important in the
| state, and as the area of logged off
land is increasing constantly. the fire
hazard is becoming greater every year.
This is also the condition in other
| western states.
The. problem of forest protection is
! one of vital interest to the western lum-
oermen, as well as those who are only
indirectly connected with the industry.
! The chief payroll of the Pacific and
! northwestern states comes from lum-
bering, as is evidenced by the fact that
S'5,OOO,OO0 is paid in wages annually
IN the mills, yards and camps TO Wash

$4,000, to 10000 men, while the states
