NATL FORESTS TO BE
 MADE SELF-SUPPORTINC

In response to the criti- cism that the national forests are not self-supporting, it is proposed to make a one third increase in grazing fees March 1, 1917, on all the national for ests of Arizona and New Mex ico. Further increases will be made in 1918 and 1919 until the rates are double the pres ent rates. The proposed in crease will apply all over the United States and have the ap- proval of the Secretary of Ag- riculture who has set February 1, 1917, as the final date for public hearings on the new rates.
 The forest grazing rates av- craze only 35 per cent of the rates paid for grazing private land. The new rates will still be only 66 per cent of the rates paid for grazing private lands.
 The increase in forest re- ceipts will benefit state schools and roads. The fund for state schools and roads has in the past amounted to about $17O,- 900 for Arizona and New Mex ico. It is estimated that the new rates will swell the fund to $27O,0O.

Two Civilizations.
(Collier's.)

The people Of this country can gain
some satisfaction by comparing the
conduct Of our Civil War on both sides
and the course of the European War
as 1t is revealed in authentic records.
When we think of the butchery at
Louvain, the shooting and manning of
women and children, the murder of
hostages. the senseless spy scares, the
inhuman treatment Of alien residents,
the use of poisoned gas, the submarine
warfare against passenger ships, the
Zeppelin raids, the publication of neu-
rotic demands for barbarous reprisals
signed by men Of letters, university
professors. and even clergymen, and fl
nally the military lynching Of band
Of melancholy poets and mystics-when
we see all these hideous happenings in
a part of the world which many Amer
leans have regarded as the source of
civilization, we cannot help feeling a
certain satisfaction with a nation that
not even the distress and danger of
civil war could madden to point of
such cruelty. The comparison makes
us greatly content to be Americans.

The Use Of School Houses.

Because of widespread report that
recent speaker at meeting Of the
labor forum, in the Washington Irving
High School, New York City. said ito
hell with the flag" the New York
board of education has refused to let
the meetings go on after the present
permit expires. This refusal has led
to hot debates as to whether such Or
CARNATIONS as the labor forum should
be permitted the use of school build
.ngs for public discussions. Some
members of the board of education as
we'll as many prominent citizens de-
clare that all school privileges ought
to be denied to any organization which
is likely to create disorder by utter
ances which are contrary to American
principles and sentiments. Other
members of the board of education
who have strong following Of in
fuential hackers believe that the
question is one of regulation and not
of denial of the use Of school buildings
for meetings to be held by any citizen
group so long as religious issues are
not introduced.
Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of
the President, is one of those who
comes out with emphatic approval for
the broadcast use Of the school plant
which is consistent With law and order.
She claims that to deny citizens the
use of school buildings for purposes of
discussion is to strike at one of their
fundamental American rights. state
ment by one Of the advocates Of the
open door" to the school houses,
reads: The American people are ex.
pected to have well threshed- out opin-
ions on every conceivable question
from militarism and merchant marines
to mosquitoes and clean milk They
have to vote on issues affecting all
these things. They need public places,
all over the city, where they can get
together in large or small groups and
do this threshing. When you come to
think Of it the school buildings Just fill
this need with their many class rooms
and auditoriums. Further than this,
the schools belong to the people and
are maintained-lighted, heated, and
janitored by taxes"
Let US accept this position for the
sake Of presenting another view. The
school buildings. belonging to the peo-
pie and supported by the taxpayers,
should they become the tools Of small
factions (notoriously non taxpayers)
which pervert their use into inflaming
opinion and developing disorder con-
trary to accepted American ideals
Free speech" is rot license, nor
should worthy organizations rob them
selves Of manifest rights in regulating
the assumed rights of organizations
that misuse privilege.

GOOD WORK
FOR SICK WOMEN
The Woman's Medicine Has
Proved Its Worth.

Wien Lydia E. Pinkham's remedies
were first introduced, their curative
powers were doubted and had to be
proved. But the proof came, and grad
ually the use of them spread over the
whole country. Now that hundreds of
thousands of women have experienced
the most beneficial effects from the use
of these medicines, their value has be-
come generally recognized, and Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is
the standard medicine for women.
The following letter is only one of
the thousands on file in the Pinkham
office, at Lynn, Mass, proving that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is an article of great merit as
shown by the results it produces.
