CONSERVATION DEFICIENCY.

The awful havoc wrought by forest fires in
tins country every summer suggests that our
government could direct some of it's conservation
energies toward the strengthening of it's forces
for patrollng timber belts during the dry sea
son and fighting the flames in their early sta res
Conservation from contlagraton is Just as i'm
portant conservation from the land grabber
for fire not only destroys the large trees but
wipes out the young growth and leaves the
burned area desolate for years to come
The fire in the San Bernardino mountains
this year could have been checked before it
caused much damage had there been more than
a handful of rangers to oppose it. Those in
confined to limited section had the forest serv-
lee been OF sufficient strength to cope with
them when they first started.
The ranger service is made up Of brave and
determined men, but it cannot be expected to
cover the immense area to which it is assigned
and then concentrate at one point when con
Migration starts. In this connection it seems to
us that the reluctance of the war department
to render assistance is very strange If 10000
soldiers with all their field equipment can be
ordered to the Mexican border merely for ma
newer and demonstration purposes surely few
hundred could be rushed to any forest fire from
a nearby post on moments notice But last
year in the Northwest they were held back I'M
til practically all the terrible damage had been
done and this year they are being kept idle in
barracks despite the appeals of both rangers
and civilians fighting the flames below San Ber-
nardmo. BY all MEANS the departments of agri-
culture and war should cooperate in this effort
toward timber conservation.

COMING BATTLE OF THE HEALERs.

Whatever the result, we shall not soon for
get the battle to be fought in this heyday of
peace between the conflicting schools that teach
opposing methods for relieving human suffering
The osteopaths of the world have boldly chal-
lenged the aopaths, homeopathic and eecticS,
and although the articles of agreement have not
yet been signed, we take for granted an accept
Of the proposed terms and test of heal
ing powers that should be memorable
Here is the proposition submitted to the older
schools by the osteOpaths: There shall be select
ed eight hundred human victims afflicted it
matters not with what
Nothing in the form Of sickness shall be
barred nor shall the subjects be consulted,
since they will be charity patients in such a
state Of mind that they will not know or care
what happens TO them. Each school shall have
turn and the one effectng the largest number
of cures shall be declared the winner A board
Of referees constituted of hospital authorities
Shall decide the question of supremacy, but
this will not be a difficult job for anybody can
tell live man from a dead one.
Generally such is the nature Of the chal
lcnge, with the details and rules of the contest
to be worked out later. Presumably the este
opath will take sick man, look for dis
located vertebra and put him through course
Of rubbisg and pulling.
Then the allopath will pour dose Of some
bitter stuff into him and clamp an ice cap on
his head Next the homeopath will give him
pill and feed him saccafras tea And lastly the
clectic will go after him with combination
treatment consisting of gentle rubbing where
that pressure is devitalizing the spinal column,
tonic to cnliven his blood and mustard
plaster to straghten out a rebelious kidney The
victim may have typhoid, pneumonia or even
bub0nc plague. It doesn t matter which since
when they are all through with him he will be
either dead alive to a certainty
Some people may regard this as rather
eod-booded way of settling the embttered con
troyerSy, but they should bear in mind the i'm
portance of the prospective result to humanity
After the decision Of the referees we shall know
exactly whom to consult when we begin to II
and we shall be spared both the expense and tn,
extended suffering OF trying one school after
another IN search for relief

SAYS POLITICS ARE
NOT FOR WOMEN

HUNNEWELL, Kan, Aug. 8
politics is not woman's game
This is the decision of Mrs. Ella
Wilson, mayor of this town, who
since her Inauguration has had a
continuous fight with the male city
council They have not confirmed
her appointees for city marshal or
city. clerk and she has not signed
any ordinance. This has been the
status of matters since her election
last April
Mrs. Wilson last night, for the
first time admitted she would quit
if she could, saying politics is not
the place for a woman, but at the
same time she turned on the mem
bers of the council and forced them
to listen to her. She will not quit
unless forced to do so, she says.
During the last week Mrs. Wilson
conferred with Governor Stubs and
he told her, she says, that if last
nights meeting the city council
were not satisfactory he would aid
her in having the members of the
council ousted. On the other hand,
the element fighting Mrs. Wilson is
talking of bringing custer proceed
ings
You fellows evidently are not
here for business, you do not know
your time has come, but | do, Mrs.
Wilson told the councilmen last eve
ming when the meeting opened.
You must get out or help me

MOROCCO THE FORGOTTEN FACTOR.

The forgotten factor in the Moroccan situation
is Morocco. French column is thrown into the
heart OF the country for the supposed protection
OF the interests of France in North Africa; then
Germany takes hand and England calls a
halt Europe is IN turmoil and everything is
discussed except the welfare and the wishes of
the MoorS themselves. In the news of the day
and in the councils of governments the subject
is either the rivalry Of Germany and England
or the conflicting ambitions Of Germany and
France. Apparently Morocco does not count.
From this situation we can draw two con
cluslons that have become truths in their rela-
tlon to world politics and the advance of civil
lzatlon. One is that the great powers of Europe
are caous to the rights of the small states that
stand in the way of their progress; the other is
that forfeiture of title to natural opportunities
inevitably follows their fragrant misuse by a
native people.
For the Moors have mislsed their inheritance
They have failed to make their country orderly.
happy and progressive. The masses have been
slaves TO religious and political tyranny The
rulers have been cruel and reactionary I'm
doubleday, Morocco needs a change
But this has nothing to do with the present
clash of greed and ambition among the Euro
pean powers England France and Germany
are not concerned about the future Of the people
of Morocco except in far as they are de
tefmlned TO open the country to their own COM
merce and capital
Plans that have no relation to the hopes of
the nhai'ta of the country acute iealonsies
among foreign governments fears that the ~
Utica. balance of Europe will be disturbed are
the factors which tell in the present controversy.
Morocco adj to abide by the treaty of As4c,ras
aud rnlst accept any alienation 1i' notification
of that agreement that may result from the
present quarrel She has no part in the crisis
over her own affairs and seems destined to re-
main but a spectator.

Richardson sat down, and did not

WASHOUTS TIE UP
CHIHUAHUA TRAINS
May Take Some Time to
Make Repairs to Track;
Rains Continue.

No trains are running on the Mexican
National line between Juarez and Chi
huahua today and it may be several days
before traffic is resumed. Very little
work can be done at the present time as
the heavy rains continue and the erection
of shoo-flies must necessarily be done
slowly.
All the shoo-flies between Moctezuma
south of Chihuahua and Santa Rosalia
are out and the work of reconstruct
ing them Is slow.
No trains either freight or passenger
are tied up in the washout. as none left
either ,Juarez or Chihuahua on Sunday
night at which time the rain started and
the washouts occurred.
Trains on the Mexico North Western
road are delayed several hours on ac-
count of aNsliglrt washout between Sum-
nit and Guzman but traffic is not
totally disabled.

TEACHING SWIMMERS
HOW TO PADDLE
/ Instructions at Y. M. C. A.
Open With a Large
Glass.

Prof. Corsan gave his first lessons in
swimming Monday at the Y. M. c. A,
and will continue throughout the week.
All the boys got on to the stroke with
comparative ease, and several threw
aside the wings and were able to take
a few of the strokes without artificial
assistance
The hardest bunch to teach was q
bunch of Mexican kiddies who didn't
'sssabe" a word Corsan said, but had to
watch his motions. Corsan tells them
to think of the body as a. row boat. He
saws that no boat spreads out behind,
and that is his reason for not drawing up
the knees, as it binders swimming. He
says the legs should be laid back straight,
and in this manner it is much easier
to learn.
