TO TRAIN FOREST RANGERS
AT STATE UNIVERSITY

A school for forest rangers to con-
sist of a two year course, the winters
of which will be spent at the univer-
sity. and the summers in practical
work on the state forest reserves, or
in numbering operations in the field, is
proposed by the authorities of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. The foundation
for much of the work Of such coarse
could be given in the present depart
ments of the college of agriculture and
the college Of engineering, and the
combination of practical and theoreti-
cal work in the field could be brought
about without large outlay. 1t is
quite likely that the remuneration
which the student would receive for a
summers work, would be sufficient to
cover his winters expenses at the uni
versity.
The establishment of department
of practical forestry at the university
will be necessary in order to carry out
the proposed plans for forest rang
er's course. This new department will
be made possible by an increased
appropriation of the university income,
now under consideration by the state
legislature.
Such a school would be especially
suitable for the education Of north Wis
consin youths, whose services could in
considerable measure be utilized in Wis
consin work, state and private, for the
numbering interests. The paper mills
and other lumber consuming interests
are paying increased attention to these
problems for which such training
would be especially helpful The
state department Of forestry will
doubtless need all the trained men that
such course would turn out for a
number of years.
The proposed school Of forestry at
the University of Wisconsin would
occupy unique position, for outside of
the Pennsylvania ranger school (the
graduates of which are bonded to enter
the state service for at least three
years., and those established by the
federal forest in connection with some
of the western institutions, no attempt
has been made to meet this demand,
which in the minds of forest experts is
regarded at the present time as more
pressing than the establishment of ad-
ditional schools of purely professional
character.

Bills have been introduced in the
Legislature providing for the establish
ment CT three more normal schools, at
Amigo, Rhinelander and Oconto re-
spectively. We believe that at latest
count the state had seven normal
schools in operation and another in
process of construction, and it would
seem about time to call a halt. 1t is
better policy to spend money in pro-
viding additional facilities for the
schools we have rather than sprout q
lot of weakling institutions simply to
crafty local pride.

provided for the use Of all, and is
therefore the proper fund from which
to draw the money necessary for pub

the other hand, is the result of mans
industry and taxing it is taxing indus
try, offering a premium on idleness.
The system has been tried out salts
factorily in New Zealand and the west
ern provinces of Canada. Whether or
not it will solve the vexatious tax
problem remains to be seen, but it is at
least worth consideration.

Assemblyman Knight, of Bayfield,,
proposes to revolutionize the game
laws as applied to Bayfield, county by
providing that in such county the own
er or occupant of land be permitted to
hunt deer or rabbits on his own land at
any time and without license. On gen.
eral principles man is entitled to do
on his own land whatever he sees fit
unless the rights of others are thereby
violated. Can the game law sharps
show that killing deer on ones own
land violates any God-given right OF
any other person?

"Boost" is good motto, and the
''men with little hammers" who knock
plans for development and progress
should be relegated to the limbo of i'm
penetrable obscurity, but it should be
remembered that boosting is not en-
tirely a matter of loud words and
Wanting self praise. Because a man
thinks that given line of action would
be beneficial to the city is no reason
why he should stigmatize all who dis
agree with him as knockers. There
is room for honest difference of opinion
on almost any subject.
The people of Ladysmith have al
ways enjoyed the enviable reputation
of being practically unanimous in
boosting" the city and county, and
we believe the facts bear out the rep
utation. While differences of opinion
exist as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of partic-
ular plans of action, all are DESTROYS of
doing what is best for the welfare of
the community, and it is eminently I'M
fair for any group to attempt to mon
opolize the virtue of boosting"
One simple, easy and effectual way
to 'tboost' is to always have good
word for the city and surrounding
country. Utilize every chance to tell
the world of the glorious opportunities
offered. The often despised real es-
tate dealer is persistent, insistent
and consistent booster" Encourage
him, help him. Don't follow the ex-
ample of one of the leading alleged
boosters" who affirmed that there
is no profit in clearing up land in this
country, that it costs $50 per acre and
isn't worth the effort.
Another thing, don't get the idea
that because a fellow citizen differs
from you on local question he is
necessarily a "knocker." Because a
man thinks it would be better policy
for the city to have street lights on in
the early part Of the evening instead
of running them in the wee sma' hours
when most honest folks are in bed
doesn't prove that he is "knocker."
Because man thinks gambling should
be prohibited or that greater economy
should be practiced in city administra-
ton does not prove that he has not the
best interest of the city at heart. Re.
member that honest discussion of this
sort cannot be stopped, and that the
man who shouts ''knocker" at every
one who disagrees with him simply
makes himself disagreeable.

The ardent advocates Of free trade
with Canadian farmers seem a trifie
over enthusiastic. They descant to the
consumer of farm products on the
beauties of reciprocity which will per-
NIT them to buy -four, butter and eggs
at lower prices, at the same time tell
ing the farmer that reciprocity will not
cheaper his products in the least. Per-
haps both statements are true, but 1t
takes an ordinary man some time to
thoroughly digest so extraordinary a
proposition.

The British parliament was formally
opened by King George last Monday.
Affairs of this kind are pulled off quite
differently in John Bulls island from
what we are accustomed to. In an
American legislature or Congress the
members gather on the opening day in
groups in Hobbies and aisles, smoking,
telling campaign stories, some perhaps
doing little quiet wire pulling. When
the hands of the clock reach the APP
pointed time, bang! goes the gavel; the
hum of conservation subsidies, the
clerk begins to call the roll of members
and the work is begun. Your cere-
nony-l loving Englishman could never
stand for such an unconventional meth
cd. His parliament must open with
the glitter and tinsel of the opening
parade of circus or the preliminary
chorus of burlesque play. We are
told that the king and queen rode to
Westminster hall in guided coach
drawn by eight cream-colored horses
decked out in gold and purple. They en-
ter the hall preceded by ornate officials
dressed like exaggerated drum majors,
bearing the crown and the sword of
state and are followed by procession
of liveried equerries and other junk
from the medieval garbage pile.
One might gather the impression
from all this pomp and ceremony that
George is the big noise in the parlia-
ment game, but NOT so. When the
preliminary antics prescribed by inn
memorial custom have been duly per-
formed, his Majesty gracefully with
draws from the game and assumes the
part of an interested but inocuous
spectator. His opening speech is not
at all like the message of an Amer
can president or governor, bristIing
with facts and suggestions and specific
recommendations. The kings opening
speech is confined to stereotyped fol de
rol about s'my beloved subjects. /"
peace at home and abroad - etc.
Bare mention is sometimes made of
the topics that will come before parlia-
ment, but no demand for Legislation,
no big stick. By comparison the
American executive is fighting cock,
strenuous and aggressive, while the
British sovereign is bird of paradise,
ornamental but useless.

A good supply of ice, for use during
hot weather, is not merely luxury; it
is in many cases of vast Importance in
the economies of the kitchen and dairy;
while in the sick room it is often indis-
pensable. And yet, while city-dwellers
are willing to pay for it at the rate Of
forty cents hundred pounds, there is
hardly one farm in hundred where
any provision whatever is made for a
summer supply.
There yet remain probably six weeks
of weather such as is favorable, in this
latitude, for the formation and gather
ing of an ice-crop. Five or ten tons
would suffice for an ordinary family.
An excavation six by ten, four to six
feet deep in the ground, with a board
covering piled with sawdust or hay,
will hold and preserve such a sup
ply; although, of course, more elab-
crate ice-house would be better and
more convenient. If no running
stream or lake is available--an for
tunately few localities in Wisconsin
are destitute of such-an artificial res
ervoir, filled by pump, can be made
to furnish ice enough.
A great deal more can be accom-
plished, and in shorter order, where a
number of neighbors cooperate in
gathering ice from river or lake, and
perhaps in the building of an ice
house.
A South Dakota paper well says:
I'm advocating ice, we are speak
ing not only in behalf of the farm wife.
who will appreciate the luxury most
keenly in the warm days of the sum-
mer, but for the farmer himself, for
he can put it to so many practical uses.
If he specializes in milk, he will find
that his product at the creamery, or
cheese factory, will add to his popular
ity immensely, if his milk is chilled
before delivery. If he is making but
ter. and hopes to make butter Of the
best class, deserving of the top-notch
price, he will find an ice-house almost
indispensable. The harvest is gathered
at time of year when labor is not
otherwise busily employed, and we can
think of nothing that will bring more
real satisfaction, for the time and
money spent in securing it, than a few
tons of ice on farm.

Emma 0. Lundberg, Secretary of
Associated Charities of Madison, as
serts that instead of furnishing food
to healthy but penniless persons, the
county should furnish an opportunity
to work. This is novel but perhaps
not altogether foolish proposition. The
customary way of aiding the poor is to
give them free soup and roast them
for accepting it, puff ourselves up as
philanthropists and wonder why the
beggar doesn't go into the banking
business and earn his own living. Miss
Lundberg would furnish the needy man
a job, pay him for his work, save his
self respect and put him in the way of
becoming a useful citizen.

The theory of revising the tariff one
schedule at time sounds real nice,
but it seems to be hard to determine
where to begin. A commercial treaty
has recently been negotiated with Can
ada which provides that Canadian
farm products may enter the United
States free of duty, and the northwest
ern farmer arises to strenuously re-
mark that he doesn't propose to be the
goat of this piecemeal tariff revision.
He thinks he is fully as much entitled
to consideration as Rubber Aldrich or
any of the infant industries.

the fact that the brides train was fif-
teen feet long, and was carried by two

money to go to the counties. The

secure favorable action, but there is
much argument in favor of paying part
of the license money into the county
treasury.

of the progressives, IL Of the latter
being against II.
The Democratic house wool bill Is
doomed TO defeat The reason Tor
voting il down. as II will be set forth,
is the supposed desire that the tariu
board be heard from next December
before undertaking a revision Oh the
wool schedule.
After the Republican senators have
kicked the Democratic wool bill out OF
the door, the Democratic free list Will
be brought up. In vot5ng on this there
will come the opportunity waited for
by the progressive senators. LaFol-
Iette will come through with his sub
stitute wool bill, which is not very
much unlike the house wool bill and
Is near enough like II so that the Dem
ocrats In the house and senate will be
glad to take ii rather than lose any re-
vision on the. wool schedule. The IL
progressive Republicans will vote for
the LaFollette wool schedule, and
nearly the full Strength of the Demo
Gratis In the senate will Join them.
This insures the passage OF this meas
ure, which will then go to President
Taft for his veto or signature.
The same combination OF votes will
then put over the steel and sugar bills
offered by Cummins and Bristow, and
a modified farmers free list which
has been agreed to between the pro-
gressives and the Democrats.
In the working out Of the above pro-
gram the Democrats have yielded
something to the progressives They
have permitted the progressives to
vote down tho Democratic wool billand
free list and TO father wool bill and
other tariff program of their own.
The result of II all. in all human
will be the sending OF four
or f1ve downward revision laws to Mr..
Taft for his signature.
