Forests and Rivers.

Chief Moore of the weather bureau APP
pears to have grievously shocked the
people interested in the conservation Of
the forests of the United States by his
statement in a report to the Secretary of
Agriculture to the effect that deforesta-
ton has no bearing upon the failure Of
streams and the erosion of the soil. This
is a fiat contradiction of all views previous
iy entertained and a challenge to those
tenance OF forests at the headwaters of
the principal streams. The weight of
scientific opinion appears to be against
Prof Moore. An immense amount of
evidence has been accumulated to show
that the denudation of the hills tends
to produce an uneven flow of the water.
Leading to freshets and also to abnor-
mally low-water stages. The forester S
view of the matter is that the growing
trees hold back the rain water from too
precipitate rush into the channels and
that in consequence the water is more
evenly distributed through brooks and
springs into the continents of the larger
streams. The issue between the weather
chiefs proposition and the previously ac-
cepted concept of the relation between
forest and streams is too sharp to be al
lowed TO remain INFESTED. and in all
likelihood the conservation question will
become more interesting than ever by
reason of a debate between the two
schools of thought.

measure of self-defense pending the pro-
vision OF larger means of correction.
At present there is no law against any
one of the three principal agencies of dis
tribution-producer, middleman or retail
er-from adding a few cents to the price
of each unit of food consumption. 1t is I'M
lawful to effect combinations to raise. the
price of any commodity of interstate COM
merce, but the process of proving infrac-
tions is so complicated that when this is
undertaken the public pays an immense
toll before preventive measures can be
applied The surest remedy lies In the
hands of the consumer himself.
II may be found as a result Of the pend
ing inquiry that the consumers are In
some measure blameworthy through the
buying of their food necessities In small
quantities. not because of the lack OF
capital. but for purposes of convenience
Agreements by groups of consumers to
buy in large quantities directly from
wholesale producers would largely assist
in breaking the price in the retail mar
ket. Organization, in short. is necessary,
and there are encouraging signs that this
remedy is in course of application. A
rapidly growing league of consumers is
forming and If 1t is wisely managed and
all members hold strictly to the adopted
principles, not for a few days but for
months, a change in the food purveying
system is certain to follow. No rapacious
of food distributing agents
can withstand the force Of concentrated
agreement on the part of the consumers.
In the last analysis the people who use
the goods, If they act with intelligent Co
operation, can always control the price.

Walsh and Morse.

With John r. Walsh following Charles
w. Morse to prison. there is another i'm
pressive disproof of the assertion that
stripes are not for evil doors of wealth
The Chicago banker, like the New York
banker. ran a long course. He piled up
millions of dollars. He figured In many
public enterprises. He gave to charity.
His name was prominent on the list of
those who in his section of the country
were doing things" But the end came.
and with 1t not only the downfall of
many who had trusted him. but his own
downfall. Although he acted without re-
gard to It, there was limit. and he
reached 1t.
Both Mr. Walsh and Mr. Morse are
victims of money craze. Possessed of a
talent for business and combinations. and
thrown upon prosperous times in fields
of large opportunity. they reached out in
many directions and ciphered in round
numbers. Success begot intoxication.
Small things lost their charm. Big things
alone became worth while. and big things
call for risks. They threw off restraint,
plunged into the flood. and at last were
engulfed by it. They are not the first
of their kind to meet that fate, and will
not be the last.
It may be that both men as they pros
pered by dubious means and methods
came to believe with the complaining pub
lie that there is one law for the rich and
another for the poor. In many things
they had legal counsel. They steered by
charts for which they had paid goodly
sums. How could prison doors yearn for
those with millions at their back and
trained lawyers for guides?' With posses
sions so large and credit almost unlimited,
how could they fail and pull up as male
factors?
They have their answer. 1t has not
been an easy thing for the law to assert
itself. Every delay possible in their be-
half was invoked. They went from court
to court. upon technicalties and what
not. Years were consumed. Public sym
pathy was appealed to. and there was
some response. 1t Is moving spectacle
to see a man of power and reputation,
advanced In years. brought down and on
the eve of destruction. But both men
were so clearly guilty of the grave Of
lenses charged that not all of wealth, or
legal ingenuity, or sympathy could save
them. Justice pointed to prison, and there
they have gone.
The politicians seeking Office have been
saying for some years. SHOW us one mil
uonaire in prison for a betrayal Of trust
and an injury to the public. and we'll
abandon the charge that predatory wealth
is supreme in the United States" Well,
here are two. And as these two convc-
tons are certain to spur and encourage
officers of the law everywhere, there soon
NAV be others

mands OF the lower house, In which event
the question as to the powers OF the loros
In fiscal legislation may become even
more definitely an issue than before.
An interesting possibility arises In con-
sequence of the steady reduction OF the
liberal and labor party strength in COM
mons in the course Of the present voting
and the premier's pledge for home rule
legislation. Mr.. Asquith was explicit In
his recent statement that home rule Will
be supported by his party in the next
parliament. II the government neglects
to discharge this obligation the Irish ma
tfonalists. whose strength will probably
remain at the present figure, eighty-three
votes, may be in a position to dictate
terms. 1t is quite within the possibili-
ties. though not at present a probability,
that the nationalists will hold the bal
ance Of power. through continued gains
by the unionists in consequence Of the un-
mistakable reaction from liberal socialism
that the returns thus far indicate.
The essential difference between the
British and American systems Of election
lies in the fact that whereas in this coun-
try all the votes are cast on q single day
throughout the country. there the voting
Is continued for many days. Success
here in one part of the country for one
OF the parties does not induce success in
other parts by the force of example.
while in Great Britain the tendency
shown by the earlier votings undoubtedly
has an effect upon the constituencies that
follow in the balloting. Furthermore.
candidates who lose in the first stages
may be substituted in other constituencies
whose votes are cast later and thus have
more than one try for parliament. It
has often happened that valuable men,
bers of the house who have stubbed their
political toes in the first round manage
to make the goal after another try and
their services are thus saved to their
party in the house.

For George Washington

From the Anaconda STANDARD.
If the people who have undertaken the
task can do it, there will presently be
built in the city of Washington a George
Washington memorial hall to cost at
least two and One-half million dollars.
The promoters OF the movement are send
ing their campaign literature to the news
paper Offices They issue a glowing pros
pectus, as they tell 1t, the thing will be
done this very year-wherein the money
is concerned-and done in the highest
style of the art of getting popular sub
scriptions.
1t appears that everybody Is going to
help. The boys In blue. the boys In
gray. the Sons of the Revolution. the
Daughters of the Revolution, the societies
of this and that, the school children.
everybody is going to chip In. with sub
scriptions from the price OF a pressed
brick up. This memorial hall will be a
place for assembling all the Washington
relics. or as many of them as can be Sc
cured; it will make a rendezvous for So
cieties of the Washingtonian sort; 1t will
include a great audience room for public
assemblies. The literature OF the promot-
ers solicits contributions, Of course. and 1t
assumes that the scheme can't fail.
The plan for this memorial may be
progressed speedily as Is anticipated
by those who started it; success attend
them. Usually undertakings of the sort
lag.

The House and the Inquisition.

With all respect to both parties in the
House. neither seems to have improved
its opportunity in the matter of the mem
bership of the Bailinser-P nchot commit
tee
When the power to appoint the House
committeeman was taken from the
Speaker. il was fair Inference that the
republicans in caucus would name their
men and the democrats in caucus theirs,
and that in such manner the House
would enter into the investigation. Each
party was expected to select strong men,
who by their ability and standing among
their associates would command the con-
fidence of the country
Here was a challenge to the democrats
10 canvass their side with the utmost
care for two men measuring up to the
highest requirements of the situation.
Noisy partisanship should have played no
par. in the matter. What was demanded
% the inquisitors was a full knowledge
of the law. some acquaintance with the
great western problem involved. and dis
position to go to the bottom for the facts
rather than for campaign material.
But the responsibility was with the
democrats. and when they presented the
names of Mr.. James and Mr.. Rainey the
republicans should have accepted them.
accompanying the acceptance with any
comment on the two men they felt justi-
fled in making. Later if Mr.. James and
Mr.. Rainey had tried to abuse their
places by display of partisanship in
stead of justice toward the accused. the
injury would have been to the democratic
party rather than to Secretary Ballinger
and the administration. The country is
not expecting and will not indorse, a
finding. either by the majority or the
minority in this business. seeking party
advantage at the expense of personal
character.
AS one result OF the controversy, Mr..
James and Mr.. Rainey may be able to
turn their experience to personal account
at home. Mr.. James is a candidate for
the Senate. and his supporters are GER
tain to represent him as holy terror to
the opposition here. The bare mention
of his name. they will declare. brought
the whole republican membership of the
House to its feet in fear and protest, and
he was accepted with extreme reluctance.
Mr. Rainey's friends will claim even
more for him. They will declare that the
objection urged against him was but
trumpery stuff; that the real reason for
his rejection was his towering ability,
which, united to a spirit Of true party
loyalty, would have made him the demo-
cratic leader of the inQuiSitiOn and
brought out the smallest as well as the
greatest details Of the subject in contro-
versy. His candidacy for reelection will
probably rest upon his rejection by the
republican caucus. and it will probably
insure him another term.
There is no risk in the assertion that
the democrats might have selected two
men entirely adequate to the duty re-
quired and entirely free from all republi-
can criticism.

The British Balloting.

Each days returns from the elections
In Great Britain bring further evidence
that the country has not responded
warmly to the appeals of the liberal
ministry for support. 1t Is true that the
present rate of unionist gain. amounting
at the close of the balloting yesterday to
sixty-one seats net, Is not likely to be
sufficient to overcome the immense liberal
majority In the house that has just been
dissolved. But any reduction is to be
regarded as failure of the liberal COM
bination to hold its position. abnormal as
II was in consequence Of the tidal wave
OF 1905. when an unexampled reversal Of
public sentiment swept the unionist
party, with a majority of 134 in commons.
out of power and gave the liberals and
their allies a margin Of $50 votes.
1t - the expectation that however small
the liberal coalitions majority may be It
will press its budget propositions and
demand their acceptance by the house of
lords as a matter of right. Still If the
country has shown a tendency to return
to unionism. by cutting down the liberal
majority by from fifty to ninety votes in
commons. the upper chamber may feel
justified In continuing to resist the de-
