Loss BY Forest Fires.

Forest fires burned over 962, 900 acres
OF national forest lands in 1917, and caused
loss Of s135S. 600 to the government III
timber. forage and Young growth, accord
ing to figures compiled by the Forest
Service While the loss was larger than for
several years past, officials say that, con
sidcring the unusually dangerous condi-
tions. it was remarkably light. Protracted
,lrouth and periods OF high winds made the
conditions, they declare. virtually the
same as in 1910. when many persons were
burned to death and p million dollars
worth OF timber on the National Forests
was destroyed.
Ia addition to the actual loss IN timber
and forage, the fires OF last year entailed
,.ztra expenditures by the government OF
$l.l2l,45l This, it Is pointed out,
means that to hold the fires down large
numbers of men have to be withdrawn
from productive work and much money
spent for supplies At q time like the
present when it IS necessary TO practice
the utmost economy as war duty, the
Forest Service officials are emphasizing
the criminal wastefulness of forest fires
that can be prevented from starting
OF the 1914 fires which were fought on
the National Forests, all but 2,132 set by
lightning were caused by human agencies
and could have been prevented There
were 952 incendiary fires. which occurred
for the most part in Oregon, California
and Arkansas. Careless campers were
responsible for l,28S. Railroads, partly
through failure TO comply with the law
and use proper spark arresters, set ,003.
The remainder were caused by various
forms OF carelessness on the part of
settlers and other users Of the National
Forests
Effort Is being made by the Forest
Service 10 impress upon the public the
necessity Of keeping fire out of the woods,
especially now that the country needs its
man-power so badly for other purposes
than fighting unnecessary fires. The cam
paign Of education against carelessness
and Indifference which has been waged
for years, through fire-warnings, posters,
talks and lectures, movies" and in
other ways, IL is asserted, viii therefore be
pressed with renewed energy the coming
season.

SOCIALIST MISREPRESENTATION.

Anti-war literature, such as the Ameri-
can bolsheviks Of the Socialist party
continue to send out, cannot fail to prove
offensive TO the great majority Of in
telligent and loyal Americans. Though
the latter learned long since TO expect
perversion and suppression OF the truth
regarding the war from this morally
alien element, the Socialist view is
not, unhappily, without influence among
the more credulous and ill-informed
we emphatically deny say the
American Socialist bolshcviki in me-
mortal addressed to Congress and the
President, 'that it is necessary for the
people Of the United States to spill their

TREASON.

II would be inaccurate as well as con-
tempt of court to characterize the ter
mination of the governments prosecution
of the editors of the Tageblatt AS "mIs-
carriage Of Justice" Yet the dismissal of
the case without conviction must bc n
subject of deep regret to LOYAL Americana,
for unless the Federal officials charged
with the suppression Of sedition in most
hagrant form shall bestir themselves, the
failure of the Tageblatt case is bound to
place premium on conduct that is none
the less reasonable even though the Fed
eral district attorney failed TO establish
The fact according to the rules of evidence
as laid down by Judge Dickinson.
For months after the war with Germany
was formally declared this pestiierous Ger
nan-language publication would be
tarcical to call IT a newspaper, for If had

Of heavy traffic over it that warrants not

1t is easy enough to establish the rule

Yet they fail in the heat of the strife
Forgetting, when standing face front to

That the best sort of preaching is life.

To Utilize Water Power.

BY sweeping majorities, SOC, 900 busi-
ness. executives who comprise the MEM
bership of the United States Chamber of
Commerce have adopted resolutions call
ing on Congress TO make provision for
harnessing the millions in water horse
power that now run Wild
The vote was taken through the more
than 1000 commercial organizations
throughout the country which compose
the National Chamber. Forty-tive States,
Alaska and Hawaii participated in the
balloting, representing a wide range OF in
dustrial interests and opinions and reliably
indicating to Congress how the business
men of the nation look on the water power
situation. Each voting organization cast
from one TO ten votes depending on its
membership.
The balloting was based on series of
recommendations contained in the report
of the committee on water power develop
ment of the United States Chamber of
Commerce. These recommendations were
presented in the following order:
That Federal legislation encouraging
the development of water powers should at
once be enacted adopted by the almost
unanimous vote of ,324 10 9.
That authority TO grant permits should
be vested in an administrative depart
ment. Carried by vote Of 1882 to L.
That the permit period should be at
least fifty years, any shorter period being
at the applicants option. In favor 1915;
opposed 40.
That tolls should attach only to use of
public lands or benefits derived from
hcad-water improvements. Adopted by
vote of 1,l91 to 40
That permittces should be entitled to
acquire the right TO use public lands form
ing only small and incidental part of the
development. Carried by vote of i,210
TO %.
That recapture should be exercised
only upon payment of fair and just COM
pensation. In favor, 1,234; opposed, %.
That If recapture is not exercised, the
investment of the perrnittee should be
adequately protected. Adopted by 1925
to 26.
That rates and service should be regu-
lated by State commissions where the
service is intrastate, with Federal regula-
tion only where several States are directly
concerned and do not agree, or there is no
State commission. Carried by vote Of
LIZ TO So
That if any jurisdiction to regulate the
issuance Of securities is exercised it
should be solely by the State. In favor,
Lila; opposed, III.
That no preference should be granted as
between applicants amounting to sub
sidy from the government creating un-
equal competition Adopted by a vote Of
l,l9l 10 IS.
While the committees report IS in itself
favorable to positive legislation 10 enlarge

THE WAR TRADE.

Before the boons Of peace return.

Teuton foes viii have to learn that
wars a beastly trade In times of
peace they armed and drilled, with
war their end and aim; million
gents have since been killed, and
they are all to blame. "Oh. it is well
to plow and sow, their rulers used
to say, land it is good to ply the
hoe, and put up stacks Of hay; it's
wise to make our liverwurst and
dyes that will not fade. but war is
always best and first, the Teut0ns $
honored trade We like to see the
farmers raise their rows of sugar
beats, and labor through the sum
mer days providing wholesome eats;
we praise the man who earns his
board with plowshare, scythe or
spade, but most of all we praise the
sword and war, the Teuton's
trade" And when this weary war
is done, the Teuton must admit that
other tools than sword and gun are
billed to make hit. If he goes back
TO arm and drill, with energy insane,
if he goes back to learn to kill, the
scrap is all in vain. Before the
scene of war We leave. and sheathe
