To the average lay the first
principles of law are to give jus
tice. In the Carmack Cooper mur
der trial in Tennessee 5000 men
were summoned before a jury Lf
twelve men could be secured to try
the case. the most objections to the
men supoened by the sheriff com
ing from the defense, and in the
end the jury selected contains three
men who cannot read or write. In
view OF the fact that our modern
court processes lend themselves to
a considerable extent to the befud

why illiterates and incompe,en's
are sought for jurors in criminal

cisms of the canal, which have
been made in the public press; and
the fact that this commission has
walked or ridden over the ground,
will, no doubt, give an added
amount of reinsurance, when their
final report is made public. Let
US hope, however that this is the
end of the creation of special com.
missions to visit and report on the
canal. Such expeditions are as
costly as they are unnecessary.
Either the army engineers are
competent to build the canal, or
they are not, their glowing reports
of rapid progress and satisfactory
conditions are either true or false.
Everyone who is qualified to pass
an intelligent Judgment upon their
work was satisfied, long ago, that
they were both highly competent

The conservation of timber lands

foreseen that without cnrtail-
ment of the consumption of lum
Der the next thirty years will see
our forests practically exhausted
of timber trees. However, work
along in the right direction will do
much to mitigate this calamity, for
in a generation of human life a
fair sized tree can be grown. In
our own community lumber and
railroad tie interests are cutting
deeply into the reserve forests of
Washington county. The owners
of the land from which this timber
is being cut should so direct the
cutting that only mature trees are
felled. The greed for dollars ought
not be permitted to ruthIessIy ruin
the wood supply of the coming
generation. Where the lands are
cut oyer, that are not intended fol
cultivation. there should be a re-
planting of trees. pine and oak. In
the forests of Germany, the pri.
yate owner of timber is permitted
to cut it only under government
supervision, and for each tree cut
two young trees must be planted

You Can Own a Pine Forest.

All who have had the privilege
of living among the pines or in a
place easily accessible to the fra
grant forests will treasure two
thoughts presented by George w.
Wilder in the March Delineator,
and the thoughts doubtless will
lead to action. The two thoughts
are: First: Now is the time to
plant pine seeds. Second: Now is
the time to transplant pine that
nature has planted for you.
The next month or six weeks is
the time during which to plant pine
seeds, whether you pursue the
"scientific" method or the ''easy
way" says Mr.. Wilder. The
''scientific" method, that is. plant
ing the seed in prepared seed bed
and two years sfrom now trans.
planting them, is, of course, the
better way, the only sure way.
The "easy way" planting the seed
just where you hope ultimately to
have your pine forest, is better
than no way at all. Now is the
time to plant, whatever way you
may elect.
This spring, next spring and the
following one will be occasions on
which, with practically no work,
the wise man whose farm nature
has blessed with planting Of pine
seeds can multiply what nature has
done for him.
In some sections in 1907, in 9TH
er sections in 1908, nature planted
lavisbIy of pines. They have
sprung up or will spring up in
spots, ten, twenty, maybe even
fifty pines to a square foot, and be
scattered over an acre or two acres
of land. The wise man who owns
such piece of land has only to
take up and transplant. If he has
an acre covered with young pines
any where from two inches to foot
tall, averaging, say, ten to a foot,
be can make that good for twelve
To fifteen acres of pine by resetting
them during the wet spriog season
some five feet apart. Thus it sayes
nature from her own wastefulness,
aud with a few days. work makes
this acre of pine seed, which,
through its own self.destruction,
would some years from now be
worth only two hundred and fifty
dollars, show promise of three
thousand to four thousand dollars.
This really seems worth while.

have to be adopted in America
soon to save our forests.

Is the liberty of the press being
assaiIed and in jeopardy? The
New York World and the Indian
apolis News, as the result of the
indictment of the publishers of
these papers by the United States
grand jury of the District of Col
umbia for criminal libel, on in
formations filed by the Attorney
General, loudly proclaim that this
is the purpose of the government
in these prosecutions, and lot OF
smaller satellites of the above pa
pers are barking in chorus to the
howl Of the leaders that have been
hit with legal club. Before the
people accept the statement that
our liberties are about to be taken
away from us by the government
at Washington through the insti-
tuIed legal processes against two
newspapers, it is just as we'll to o."
a little calm thinking before they
rush forth with their guns in hand.
to fire shots that will be heard
around the world, in defense of
their rights-or the sacred
rights" Of certain class of news
papers. The New York World
and the Indianapolis News made
certain statements that there was a
big steal in connection with the
purchase of the Panama canal
property from the French com
pany-that only something like
$12, 100000 of the $40, 900, 900
paid for this property went to the
French stockholders. While the
World and the News mentioned no
names directly in connection with
this charge, all who were concern
ed in the canal deal with the French
people were implicated in a gener
al way, and the charge was thus
thrown up to the officers of the
government, not individu ally, bu,
collectively. Therefore, the libel,
if there is libel in the charge, af-
fecteel the government. A statute
was found under which the offend
ers could be reached and indict
ment against them has followed.
Now to our way of thinking the
indicted journals have clear
course before them, that is, they
are now afforded the opportunity
to show in the courts that they
have reliable evidence on which
they based their charge of graft in
the canal deal. Failing in this,
they must then admit that they
were guilty of criminal attack
upon the honesty of the officials of
the government IN charge of the
for no other purpose
than to Great Il newspaper SEN

drive their charge home with re-
liable evidence and snatch back
the liberty Of the press without
general call TO arms of the popu
lace. The whole thing has mar
rowed itself down to a very simple
proposition, and that is, either
someone has stolen, IN has been as
serted, or the publishers held uu-
