Forestry in Scotia nd,

The deputaton from the Royal Scot
fish Arborcultural society which waited
on Scottish members of the House Of
Commons, recently, to urge the creation
of separate department of forestry in
connection with the board of agriculture
for Scotland, brought out several
points Of first Importance The
realization Of the great value of for.
estry is comparatively modern devel-
opment in most countries; but it is only
within the last few years that any just
appreciation OF the Importance of the
matter has obtained in the United King
DOM
The deputation already referred to rec
ognized the opportunity which will be
afforded by the disarmament of the army
for securing labor sufficient to carry out
afforestation schemes on a liberal scale.
1t consequently urged that wide and
comprehensive scheme should be devised
now, such as could be put into operation
as soon as the war is over.
The fact is, of course, as indeed was
pointed out by one of the members of the
deputation, afforestation does not appeal
very forcbly to public sentiment. 1t is
an activity in which returns are neces-
sarly long delayed whilst as a means
of combating the rapid advance in the
price of wood at the present time it is
admitted to be of no immediate value.
The value of the afforestation scheme on
large scale, makes a call for its appre-
citation on the view of the statesman
rather than on that of the business man
looking for immediate results. day,
however, when the great question of Sc
curing employment for the multitude of
discharged soldiers which win fiji the la.
Dor market at the end OF the war is
being very generally discussed, the value
OF such schemes makes a practical and
immediate appeal to many. Afforesta-
ton is. in fact, as Lord Lovat, one of
the spokesman OF the deputation, main
one OF the cheapest ways of set
Ting people on the land, at any rate in
the Highlands. II would be possible to
put one man on the land for every 100
acres planted, and later one man to ev-
cry twenty five or fifty acres. lie thought,
there were certainly not less
than 100000 acres, in the highlands
alone, suitable for forestry. Every man
settled IN these highland glens in con
nectiOn with alforestation would be a /
definite addition TO the population and /
would dsplace no one.
The question is certainly one Of great I
and far-reaching interest IL will, no

Clean Primary Tactics,

A contribution OF no little value to the
sum OF experience under the workings OF
the primary law is being made by Thorn
as Chalmers in his canvass for the con-
gressional nomination in this district
Mr. Chalmers is devoting himself ener-
getically and ably to discussion of Re-
publican principles and proposals and
diating upon his attitude toward these
issues, leaving to those who hear him
opportunity to judge of his fitness for
public Office. Denunciation and deprecis
ton OF his primary opponents find no
place in his speeches. He is content to
show the voters OF the district what sort
of man he is, and give them an oppor
tunity to understand his view, and then
abide by the choice a plurality of them
make on primary day.
The wholly admiral BILE attitude of Mr..
Chalmers is that he is ready to serve
if the people of the district want him
for their servant, If they do, he ind
Gates the lines along which that service
would be rendered; if they do not, he
is still ready to serve in the ranks. Such
an attitude, adopted universally by can
didates in the primaries, would remove
completely one of the most cogent OBJ
jections to a popular vote as means OF
making nominations, which is that per
sonalities instead of principles are dis
cussed, sometimes to a point of nausea
and frequently supply ammunition for
the enemy in the subsequent election.
Obviously, the cure for this evil lies
in the hands of the public. II candidates
whose only occupation is mud-slinging
and character were regu-
larly rebuked at the primaries, the prac
tice would Immediately 60 out of vogue
and be supplanted by the method of which
Thomas Chalmers in the congressional
contest and Harry Keyes in the guber-
material contest, are examplars at the
present moment.-Mancheste Union.

CURRENT COMMENT
The LAWYER Argument.


ut is alleged that candidate Thoma
II. Cave, ir., of Barre, who wants TO b.
state auditor, is not a lawyer and that
therefore, his fitness for the position i
less than that of his rival, Mai Bel
Gates who knows the science of Law
from Blackstone down TO the latest com
mentator. There is some force 20 th,
suggestion as knowledge of at least
some law will be necessary to know
whether many of the bills presented fol
payment are legal before they can be O
KID, What have the friends of Mr. Cave
TO say 10 this objection TO his candidacy
They had better say il quickly, as the
September primaries are almost here -
Springfield Reporter.
II is not necessary to make a choice
between the two candidates when dis
cussing this phase of the contest for the
authorship nomination. Ii Mr.. Cave has
no more damaging argument advanced
against him than that he is not a lawyer,
he should not be greatly worried. But if
nothing more can be advanced in favor of
Major Gates than that he is lawyer,
then he should begin to worry.
Some people, it is noticeable that they
are members of the legal profession for
the most part. seem to think that it ia
essential that public offices be filled by
lawyers. As a matter of fact, lawyers
do fill most public positions. but the rea
son is to be found in their avala bility
rather than from necessity.
The average business man as rule,
finds it impossible TO ill public office and
carry on his private affairs at the same
time. The lawyer, on the other hand,
sees in office holding cheap and easy
ing kind and he also finds the public
salary good bolstering up Of the rev.
enue Of his private practice.
There is no valid reason why the state
auditor should of necessity be a LAWYER
Big business concerns do not make audi
tors out OF LAWYERS Railroad auditors
are not lawyers There is more efficiency
in private enterprise than in public gov
eminent Business concerns have their
legal department entirely separate from
their accounting department.
So it is with Vermont. We have our
attorney general If the auditor does
not clearly understand the law, he can
call for an opinion from the states legal
talent. In short man might be a most
excellent lawyer and a mighty poor audi
tor, And it might well develop that
lawyer who is jack of all trades might
be weak in the law. The argument that
a lawyer is needed in public Office is an
old one and has been carefully nodrished |
by those most interested There will be |
4 general improvement in our political
and governmental life when this fallacy |
Is dispelled for all time.-St. Adams
Messenger.
