where the forest area Is greatest the
stock law Is suspended, which he de-
plores and recommends a strict en-
forcement In those districts for the
protection Of the forests. He says
that the only way to make the water
powers Of the State safe from disas-
ter. such as the Pacolet food, Is for
either the United States or the State
of South Carolina to purchase the
lands around the sources of the
streams. He does not think the pro-
posed reservoir plan would work we'll
because Of the rapid fall of the
streams In the Piedmont, which
would quickly fill the basins with
sand. About 100000 acres. he thinks
should be purchased in this State to
be a reservation in which the forests
should be used to produce revenue
and to furnish recreation for the peo-
pie az the Adirondacks are in New
York State, but that the State should
provide against the sudden flooding
Of the streams. He recommends a
further study Of the situation to in
clude map showing the standing

tural characteristics. stumpage

The enormous crop Of wheat re-
ported from Russia is Of great signi-
ficance just now. 1t puts Russia for
the first time at the head Of
wheat growing countries, this
harvest of S3,0OO,00O bushels
being some 26,OO0,OO bushels in ex-
cess Of the large crop in the United
States and about 100000 great
er than ever produced in Russia be-
fore. The development of wheat
growing along the line of the Siber-
ian railway has been very rapid, and
AS the home consumption Is
small in proportion to that Of this
country, 1t has made Russia the
greatest Of all the sources of supply
for the rest of the world. Other
European countries, especially
France. also raise large crops of
wheat, but also consume much Of it.
The extent Of their crops influences
the demand upon outside sources
Russia, India, the United States, Can
ada and Argentina. the chief COM
petitors IL the export trade. The pre-
sent great cost Of wheat in this coun-
try as against the large surplus in
Russia, will make it difficult to hold
our former place in the world mar
ket.

One medical man, who had no temp

frank enough to take advantage of
the impeachment and put the blame
where 1t belonged. A lady was very
solicitous about her health. Every
trifle made her uneasy, and the doc

quently had large practice. 1t was
very disagreeable to him to be so Of
ten called away from his other cases

an opportunity Of letting the lady see
this. One day the lady observed a
red spot on her hand, and at once
sent for the doctor. He came, looked
at her hand, and said:

PUEBLO. Colo. sept 2S-Declar-
ing that the increased demand for
lands during the past few years by
new settlers I'm the West had brought
20 the attention OF the government
the need for making every acre OF
land best suited for civilization and
the raising Of agricultural crops
available for homestead settlement,
Associate Forester A. +. Potter, OF
the United States Department OF
Agriculture, speaking on the "segre-
cation of Agricultural Lands in For
est Reserves" before the National
Irrigation Congress here today, en-
phasized the point that If the emf
grafton of the younger generation 20
Canada and Mexico was to be pre-
vented. everything possible must be
done to develop and make available
for settlement the lands within our
boundaries.
Mr.. Potter said it was the aim of
the National Forest Service to have
every acre Of land in the National
| Forests used for the purpose for
which it is best adapted TO this end
he said, "a careful examination OF
the boundaries of all national forests
was made last year, and recommend
ations were promulgated for the
elimination of all lands best suited
for agriculture along the exterior
boundaries of the forests. The tota
area of these eliminations, he added
would reach approximately 6.250,00t
acres, some of it very rough and mucl
suitable only for grazing
The Secretary of Agriculture" h,
continued: lin the exercise of his dis
erection requires that only Ian,
which can be cultivated will be list
ed under the Forest Homestead law
but wherever tire is adjacent Liant
which is valuable only for grazin
land, the listing of an area Of graz
ing land equal to that of the guilty

THREE KINGDOMS

ROME, September 1S.-It is assert
ed in diplomatic circles here that dur
ing the recent festivities at Cettinje,
when Prince Nicholas of Montenegro
assumed the title of King, elevating
his country to the rank of kingdom
an offensive and defensive alliance be-
tween Montenegro, Bulgaria and Ser
via was signed. Each of these nations
is pledged by the terms of the treaty
to give military aid to the others in
case the sovereign rights of any of
them are attacked by Turkey or Aus
tria.
Russia, It is said, has promised her
moral support to this new alignment
of the Balkan states. King Victor
Emmanuel of Italy, Kink Ferdinand of
Bulgaria, the Crown Prince of Seryia
and Grand Duke Nicolaievitch of Rus

the Associate Forester. applications
had been received from 171G7 per-
sons for the listing of lands under
the provisions Of the Forest Home
stead law. OF these ASA have been
rejected because the land applied for
was found TO be chiefly valuable for
its timber or was needed for public
purposes, and 2,756 applications were
withdrawn A total Of 5.647 appli-
cations. covering an area Of 626.773
acres, have been approved and the
land recommended for listing. The
lands applied for In the remaining
4,l70 applications have not yet been
examined on account of the inabil-
ity of the limited number of men
available to meet the growing demand
for their services, but It is expected
that favorable action will be taken in
a large number Of these cases.
ut is not the purpose of the De-
partment Of Agriculture to open all
cultivable timber lands to entry i'm
mediately upon the removal of the
timber in excess of an amount equal
to the agricultural value of the land, '
said Mr.. Potter in concluding. unless
1t is evident that the land will be
permanently more valuable for az
ricultural use than for forest pur
poses, but special attention is being
given to the working out of a prac-
teal solution Of the problem which
presents itself in determining the ag-
ricultural values of cultivable timbe,
lands in order that just as fast as
! there is a bona fide demand for tht
. occupancy of these lands by actua
settlers, who will make their homes
/ upon them, the lands may be avail
z able for the use which will do mos
b for the permanent good of all tn,

his clenched fists in the air as he
stood on the platform opposite
the crowded grandstand. His words
were received with cheers.
Il have spoken to you as farmers,

had appealed to them to develop the
usefulness of the individual to the
highest degree.
81 now want u speak to you as
citizens of the United States who are
interested in the great problems
which concern all of us. / think
every citizen of a free democracy
ought to distrust, above all others,
the public man whose deeds do not
square with his words.
That has two sides. It has to da
with the politician who makes pro-
misses that he does not keep and it
has % do with newspapers which say
what they know is not true. Mark
Twain said there are 500 different
kinds of iesl, but the only one
authoritatlvefy forbidden was that of
bearing false witness against your
neighbor. There are one or two
metropolitan Dailies which would
do well to print that at the head Of
their columns and then try to live Up
to it. | withhold their names, but
the omission is easily supplied.
There are two prime difficulties in
getting good government. One arises
from the dishonest politician. | think
the corrupt politician no worse an
enemy of the people than the man
who lies about the honest public SER
want. The damage he does is to the
public, in so confusing the public by
attacking the men who are honest
that the public ceases to be able to
recognize and to war against men
who are dishonest. Such a man is OF
the greatest advantage to the thief
The corrupt politician is no worse
than that corrupt politicians main
stay, the newspaper which says what
is not true about men in public life
Honesty, truth, courage-you need
them just as much in public as iT
private life.
81 have no hostility to corporation:
as such. recognize the corporation
as a necessary method of dealing
with modern business conditions
The corporation has its rights and il
entitled to full protection in the exer.
else of those rights. But the cor
poration is not entitled to vote, or tC
the ownership of any public man.
There are two sides to this unfor'
tunate alliance between big coTup
business interests and the big bosses
The Elackmailer who blackmails the
corporation is Just as much foe o
the people as the bribe-taker whC
takes a bride from the corporation t
do what he ought not to do In Ou
own interest we need to insist OF
public men safeguarding the inter
ests Of the big corporations, so as t.
denrive the corporations of the eX
use that, in order to preservex 1T
rights it must corrupt legislatures
II the head of a big corporation say
that he cannot carry on his business
