FORESTS AND FLOODS
 MUTUAL RELATIONS
Continued from Page D.

the severest where it came from the heavy wooded districts.
 l At the tenth International Congress of Navigation. held at Milan, Italy, in 1905, numerous papers were presented by representatives from France, Ger many, Italy, Austria and Russia, in which the writers favored the prOtec- ton of the forests and their cultiva- ton, but these writers were unani- nous in the opinion that forests ex- ercised but very little influence upon either the high water or low water of rivers.
 | Col. T. P Roberts, United States assistant engineer, Ptttsburg, Pa, in a recent article on floods in the river Seine, published in the last number of the proceedings of the Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania, shows that the recent floods in the Paris district were largely due to that part of the Seine watershed which is fOrested, and it might be added that the forestry people have been very fond of citing the French as people who had fOrested a great deal of their country, but this has not been referred to so much since the Paris floods.
 A. F. Hawes, Vermont state forest CT. in the Engineering News (New York, April 14, 1910) says: Tt is very regrettable that there seems to be a disposition on the part of many engineers to oppose the whole for estry movement. simply because they believe that forests do not affect streamflOw" This shows that he knows many engineers who do not believe in the forestry streamflow idea. Many other authorities and other engineers could be cited who do not agree with MT. Pinchot It is difficult, however, to cite genuine au- thorities who do
 To quote further from Prof Moore: Tn every country the general ten dency, with growth of population, is to convert forest lands into cultivated fields. and this tendency should not be discouraged, unless it can be shown that deforestation has augmented droughts and floods, and believe that it cannot be so shown. I believe that forests should be preserved for themselves alone, or not at all.
 'There are so many reasons why forests SnOulu De protected by the state and nation, and economically conserved in the interests of the whole people, that it is doing an injury to a good cause to attempt to bring to it's support the false reasoning and mis- taken conclusions of enthusiasts, no matter how we'll meaning they may be. or how devoted to high and lofty purposes"
 This last quotation is the real thing in a nutshell. Forests should be pro- tected, but they should stand upon their own merits, and not on fictitious ones. They should not be improved by fooling the people into thinking something is true which is not, but instead the people should know the exact truth and then do the proper amount of forestation to meet the real conditions

sCH|LL|NG ACQUITTED
 OF ASSAULT|NG POOLE
The Courts Opinion, However, That the Defendant Committed a
 Breach of the Peace.

The trial of Schilling. a lineman in the employ of the Overland Telephone company, charged with an assault last Saturday night upon Ernest Fogle. a lineman of the Consolidated, took place yesterday before Justice Johnstone. The trouble grew out of the strike on the Consolidated. Fogle refusing to go out with the strikers.
 The defense of Schilling, was con- ducted by himself. s. F. Pattee of Tucson, counsel for the Consolidated, represented the prosecution. There was overwhelming testimony by the friends of the defendant that no blow was struck There was only the testi- mony of FOgle and another witness that he had been struck.
 The trouble occurred on Washington street between First and Center. It ap- pears that there was to be a labor council meeting that night and the witnesses for the defense said that Schilling and several others were on their way to the hall when Fogle came along. Schilling called to him, saying he wanted to speak to him. The de- fendant and his witnesses said that Fogle told him to go to hell and walked rapidly away. Schilling and some of his associates walked rapidly after him and again, according to their evil dence, Fogle extended an invitatiOn to Schilling to go to he'll They said that after persistent efforts to engage Fogle's attention they left him.
 It was brought out that Schilling had used the word "scab" He said that he had employed that term, though it was not addressed especial ly to Fogle and it was admitted that hold with Fogle was to be earnest rather than friendly; it was intended to convince him of the error of his ways
 At the conclusion of the defendants testimony, Justice JohnstOne said that the preponderance of the testimony in favor of the defendant created a legal doubt of his guilt of the crime of bat tery and he would have to give him the benefit of it. But he said that if the defendant had been brought before him on the charge of disturbing the peace he would have fined him and fined him heavily.
 He had no right, said the court, to intrude himself upon Fogle Fogles manner of showing that conversation with the defendant was distasteful to him may not have been polite. but it was plain. The persistence of the de- fendant and the following after Fo- gle in the circumstances was a breach of the peace which the laws are de- signed to prevent or punish.

Recovery of Paris.

Paris may be expected to make a
speedy recovery from the strange dis
aSter that has overcome her. The
most important task, in consideration
of the future, is to provide against the
possibility OF recurrence of such an
experience; even though the chances
are small that it would be suffered
soon again in any event. The prob
lem is not unlike that which faced Cal
weston after the Gulf of Mexico pour
ed over the city. though an invasion
was supposed to have been sufficient
ly guarded against. The greater part
of the French capital is built upon a
reclaimed swamp, and the bitter lesson
seems TO be that the devices for divert
ing and controlling the waters, which
form erly sperad over uninhabited areas
IN flood time are not sufficient in ex-
treIne instances. A variety of related
problems of construction will demand
attention. The resources of French
engineers can be depended upon to
solve them all, after the immediate
task of municipal housekeeping has

what intensive FARMING Means.

Champ" Clark, leader Of the dem
ocratic minority in the national
house of representatives. is a convert
to intensive farming as the salvation
of American agriculture. Intensive
farming is nothing but farming 50 as
to get everything possible out of the
land, as generally practiced, consists
in making comparatively small plots
mean much, largely by a slxilfully ar
ranged succession of crops. While
this is not an exhaustive definition
it is near enough to convey the idea
There have been for many years a
few in this country who have prac-
ticed intensive farming, but the idea
is an old one in other countries
where the population is dense. In Am
erica, an abundance of land has fos-
tered the idea that it was good bust
ness to cultivate as much land as pos
sfb1e, an idea which has been the source
OF much lax practice Wherever in
tensive farming has been adopted. it
has been in the vicinity OF cities, where
land was more or less restricted, and
where markets were handy. Frequent
ly there have been good examples of
intensive farming within the limits of
large cities-we wouldn't be surprised
if there were some in New Bedford
where small patches of ground in the
hands of a skilful agrtculturist have
been made to yield surprising results.
The same principles applied In larger
areas would undoubtedly produce SIM
liar results.-New Bedford Standard

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER
OF CORPORATIONS
To the Secretary of Commerce and La
Dor Made Public.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Great interna-
tiona1 industries can be brought under
permanent federal supervision through
a system OF regular reports to a fed
eral agency in a rational, effective way,
which will involve no drastic action,
but on the contrary will forestall it.
Such is the conclusion drawn in the
report of Herbert Knox Smith, COM
missioner of corporations, to the secre-
tary Of commerce and labor which was
made public today.
Coming closely upon the heels of the
Administrators federal Incorporation
bill, which has been presented to both
houses of congress, Commissioner
Smiths recommendations are of unu-
sual interest.
Publicity will improve the standing
of our corporate securities both at
home and abroad" Mr.. Smith declared
land will help to give to our business
machinery that foundation of fairness
and openness and public confidence
which it must have if it is to be a
permanent factor in our national adj
vance.
at will bring together the govern
ment and the corporate manager in
conference and cooperation, which
alone can serve to adjust continuously
the complex and changing relationship
between our business forces and the
public welfare"
Mr. Smith contends that already un-
der public condemnation, made possible
by facts plainly stated, great corporate
serts that a gigantic system of rail-
road rate determinations has been
wiped away and numerous forms of
commercial oppression diminished. Cor
porate managers themselves, declares
Mr.. Smith, are frankly advocating d
more open accounting.
