MANUEL !.
HASN'T, | A
CHANCE
~A 00 -"

MUCH Interest in the future of Ex'
wi King Manuel of Portugal has
been stirred up recently IN
America by. the reports that an Amer
lean girl, Anita Stewart, the New
York keiress who married the duke OF
Braaanzs, might ultimately sit upon
ManueI,s throne.
At the same time the. royalists were
said to be getting ready to restore the
youthfui monarch who lost his throne
mainly because his subjects did not
approve of his friendliness toward
Gaby DesIys, the French actress now
appearing at the Winter garden in
New York.
Many kings have been as frivolous
as Manuel and have kept their jobs.
Can it really be, that a change of feel.
ing is sweeping over the world and
that rulers must look after their con-
duct as carefully as though they were
plain people?
l., And If so, what chance had the
American girl to climb up on the
THRONE?
Gaby DesIys, 1t would seem, should
know. She says she does know. That
the national ideals have changed and
that neither Manuel nor the American
!teiress has chance. Somewhat. syn.
lcaly she here tells WHY.

How to Save Our Forests.

1t is an extraordinary proposition
which the International Paper COM
pany advances in its opposition to
Canadian reciprocity. Vermonters
generally have thought that the
importation of lumber would be in
the interest of conservation, but, says
the paper company
The numbering interests of the coun-
try also will be injuriously affected, and,
contrary to the opinion of many persons
who have only superficial knowledge
of the question, in the judgment of ex-
perts and practical people the placing
of forest products upon the free list, as
proposed, will be greatly detrimental to
the cause of forest conservation. We
are absolutely satisfied that this is so
from our own observation. Forests can
not be conserved if the products are re-
duced in value by competition with
cheaper products from another country,
as conservation methods are expensive.
Take the tariff off pulp wood and
our forests would soon be abandoned
wastes, according to the Interna-
tional Paper company's disinterested
suggestions. This is new and sur
prising picture of the blighting effect
of reciprocity. The popular i'm
preston that lumber and pulpwood
from other countries might save our
forests from the woodlands axe is
dismissed in one unconvincing para
graph.

during all these years without a

the Morrisville Messenger. Left to
mere men the park has been neg
lected, the papers say, for.nearly one
hundred years."
Not quite as bad as the Messenger
suggests. The park has been thing
of beauty always, but it would not
have kept its good looks if the
improvement society had not inspired
and aided the recent housekeeping
and renovating there. The local
improvement society, by the way,
includes few mere men.
