SERVING OUR FORESTS
Forestry Association Of Vermont:

Forestry Association of Vermont
Although | cannot well attend your
regular state gathering at Lyndonville
August next, beg leave to say that
yield to no one in true, hearty, deep
interest in the matter Of the preserva-
tion Of our forests.
And in this connection | beg leave
to remark that | believe that it is
the preservation of what we already
have, especially upon our mountain
ranges, the large, deep tracts, cover
ing thousands Of acres, rather than
the replanting of small new tracts in
the valleys below, that we should the
most attend to.
And | believe that the large noun
tain tracts can be put in state Of
perpetual preservation at compara-
lively slight cost in case the matter
is properly and duly attended to and
made a chief aim by the state for
ester.
| believe that, if properly approach
ed, the owners of these tracts, to a
large extent, will be willing to put
them under state control as to the
method of their cutting, thus cabling
the state to preserve them for scenic
and watershed purposes and really
benefting the owners by not allowinf
them to cut over in way tina, will
slash and destroy what is really for
the owners best interests to allow
to remain.
To a considerable extent | believe
that the owners will grant this pro
lection without remuneration, but
wher3 remuneration is required / do
not believe that the money Of the
state can be put to such serviceable
use in any other way.
These grand old mountain forests,
50 scenic and so useful, must command
our chief attention, as compared with
the small patches below, and ! believe
hat the time is close at hand when
upon the principle Of eminent domain
he state will step in and accomplish
,y force what we may now accomplish
,nly through the permission Of the
owner, which owner, as | believe,
would really be benefited by the action.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
An Appreciation of the Late John
Jacob Gunther

Jacob Gunther
To the Editor Of The Manchester Jour
nal.
Those Of us who year after yea
have summered or wintercd in Man
chester with her people have come Il
be as one great family, and when ont
member of this family have suffered
all the members have suffered, anC
suffered sorely.
In the years that have gone away
since first played as a boy in the vii
lage SO dear to my heart from many
tender associations, our beloved Man
chester family has again and again
been caused to mourn by the call of
that mysterious visitor, whose name
/ is Death.
Sometimes suddenly he has entered
our mountain-guarded circle, and
sometimes we have sensed his coming
among us, and been fully prepared for
! it. And now once more he has just
made us one of his sudden and unex-
pected calls and taken from our group
one whom we all knew and loved as
brother and friend and neighbor.
For John Jacob Gunther was a man
whom to know was indeed to love.
His was personality radiant with
gracious kindness and heartsome
cheeriness His was a character that
revealed the Christian Faith which
was strong in his soul have seen
him under the shadow Of sorrow. !
have seen him in the full light of fun
and play. | have seen him in the joy
of social fellowships within and with
out his home, and always and every
where he was the same gracious, kind
ly, Christian gentleman,
Truly we can all say of John Jacob
Gunther what Jonathan said Of his
beloved friend David; Tomorrow is
the new moon; and thou shall be miss
ed, because thy seat will be empty"
All, yes, our friend will be missed,
and he will be missed for all those
fine, strong qualities which make
earthly friendships so divine, so beau
tiful and so precious.
| think of this dear friend now in
that Deathless Land, with hosts of our
dear Manchester circle whom we have
loved long since, and lost awhile
and | rejoice that he has left to us as
they have left to US, immortal memo
ries, which are today our inspiration
and our joy as we journey on to meet
them all again and greet them all
again in that Blessed Country above
our great green mountains, just a
little beyond our human vision.

Sir:-lsn't is credit to a red-ho
pacifist to have abstained for five 0
six months from sending you any pro
test against the unprecedented pro
gram Of army and navy expenditure
now being pushed in Congress
But may | not say now that i
makes me sick at heart to think Of th'
burdens the American people are al
lowing their representatives to faster
upon them, in order to threaten anC
overawe other nations? 3?
If great preparations for killing OF
the part Of great nations, could have
kept the peace, how comes it Europe is
at war? All the great nations were
armed to the teeth. They said to the
groaning people that they were doing
it to keep the peace; but they have not
kept the peace.
IF you love the flag, keep it clean.
How clean is our flag, when boy
can be burned alive in Waco, and the
mayor and chief Of police sit under
the stars and stripes looking on !?
How much money have we to spend
on tools for killing foreigners when
we haven't enough to save the lives Of
our own little children in our own
slums? Children have been steadily
dying from poverty in New York all
the month of July.
But the worst Of the whole policy Of
keeping the peace by threats, and set
ting disputes by killing people, is, ]
think, the harvest Of hatred, fear, sus-
picion and rivalry which it engenders,
and which we have all been seeing the
bitter fruits Of in Europe.
! was in England three years ago,
a year before the war, and the cam
paign Of hate and fear was then in full
force in all the English papers. Three
years before that-six years ago-thc
English papers which saw in this
country, were full Of it. Four years
before the war, distinguished German
and English statesmen met and made
speeches and wrote essays trying TO
show that they were good friends, and
we're only sharpening knives to cut
each others throats because they were
such good friends.
It is one Of the most pathetic books ]
ever written.
But it is not as pathetic as the books
hat will be written after the war,
showing what hard-won rights labor
las lost in Europe; what slow begin
lings Of social justice have been
Irowned in blood, what harvests Of
bitterness and narrowness have been
own and must be reaped, and how
christianity has been stabbed in the ;
ack in the house Of its professed /
riends. 4
These are the fruits Of armament,
ot as we theorize about them, but as Z
vents are showing them TO US.
Very truly yours, Il
