man or show him the door. That is
why it is such a kindly and honorable
act for a young man to let girl know
whether he means business or
whether he is just amusing himself.
In -JfHea- times the prudent father
when he observed that a young man
had developed the habit OF hanging
around his pretty daughter, took the
youth aside and asked him what were
his Intentions.
That must nave been a highly en-
barrassing moment for all concerned.
The modern method of the young man
who voluntarily offers this valuable
information to the girl herself Is q
better way.
1t is playing the game fairly. with
the girl. 1t is giving her show for
her white alley! 1t is putting her wise
TO Just how matters stand, telling her
just what she hes to hope, just what
to figure on. It's up to her then to
decide what she wants to do.
The modern man is the only man
in the whole history Of the world
who has ever been really chivalreus
to women. and the finest, whitest
flower Of this chivalry is shown in his
even being willing to play the game
Of hearts fairly With woman, and to

Touching forests, and the tints

any party must be glad to recognize
the ability and far-sightedness of at
least one of Mr.. Wilson's cabinet.
Secretary Lane.
: Not only has he discharged his Of
fetal duties capably, he has gone out
Of his way to explain HIS policies and
methods to the common people, by
newspaper and magazine articles on
forestry, irrigation and the develop
ment of our undeveloped resources.
In this respect he resembles Mr..
Roosevelt who, however, was a pio-
neer and, like all pioneers, had to do
some fighting for his reservations.
In using the last three minutes Of
one Of his congresses in signing up
for the American people 1905, 900
acres of new natural forests or re-
serves, he took his last chance to save
what was going to be taken out Of
his hands"

Hough, that President Roosevelt, in
his breaking into the clean old Amer
icanisim that does not confuse honest
wealth with corrupt wealth, has done
more for our trees than all of cur
forestry work has done"
Our attention has been called to the
high price of paper, and we have CON
tributed our joke at Mr.. Wilson's ex-
pense, but VIC seldom think of the
waste Of our forests in connection

-SnoDfake People Are ProgressiDe
 Under date of Sept. 2, there appeared in the Albuquerque Journal the following communi- cation from Snowflake:
 "At close of services at the Nor mon church Sunday, President Samuel F. Smith addressed the gathering on civic development. He declared that the time was at hand when the Snowflake community should organize and finance the construction of an electric light and power plant and water system for Snowflake and Taylor, utilizing the water power right just purchased from the A. c. M. I. grist mill. The two towns, Snowflake and Tay- Tor, are only three miles apart. The water power site is as con- yenient for one as the other. The towns can sustain an enter prise of the kind, and now that the Snowflake 6 White Noun tain railroad appears to be an assured thing, it IS time that the combined efforts of the two towns install the much needed electric plant and water system. /"
 It is pleasing to record the action of the citizens of Snow flake in taking this advanced step towards civic improvement, and we trust that they will be successful in accomplishing their purpose.

country.
 In conclusion Secretary Me Adoo points out that while this plan may call for considerable expenditures at present, yet the eventual cost to the government of this plan will be very much less than that which would re- suit from the adherence to the present pension program of the country. and, further, that the pension system will not pro- vide the same benefits nor cover the subject in the same compre- hensive. humane and equitable way.
 . There is no use to which the funds derived from the sale of Liberty Loan Bonds can be put which will be more cordially ap- proved by the people of the coun- try than to provide this just and deserved protection to the men who are braving all the dangers of this war on land and sea in the service of their country.

Draft Is Constitutional

Certain citizens, profes- sing to be good Americans but confessing to a legalistic turn of mind, r e e n t l y brought suit in the federal courts to test the constitu- tionality of the selective ser vice law. It would probably never have occurred to any body but a pro-German, a muddled pacifist or a hair splitting corporation lawyer that the law needed any testing. But inasmuch as this measure, enacted almost unanimously by congress in response to an overwhelm- ing national demand, has been challenged, it's just as well to have the question settled in due form.
 The first step has been taken toward settling it. Judge Speer of Georgia, be- fore whom the case came to trial, declares:
 "The nation has a right to use every man to defeat the migration to it's soil of nations or ferocious warriors whose barbarous inhumanity for three years has surpassed all others since the death of AttiIa, the scourge of God"
 The supreme court may be depended on to uphold this decision. = P h oe n i X Gazette.

Secretary McAdoo emphasizes the justice and rightfulness of such function of the govern ment by citing the fact that in this war we are not relying upon the volunteer system but are drafting American men and con- polling them to undergo danger and, if necessary. make the su- preme sacrifice for their country.
 A higher obligation, he says, therefore rests upon the govern ment not only towards the fight ing men but towards those de- pendent on them and a just, generous and humane govern ment should see to it that so far as is practicable they should be given this protection, not as a matter of mercy or charity but as a matter of right. And that they should enter into the ser vice of their country with the certain knowledge that if death or misfortune comes to them they and their dependents are protected by insurance afforded them by their government as part of compensation for the service they are rendering their
