SAVE THE FOREST GIANTS.

S7HE west generally will be inter-
ested to learn that at last a cam
paign had been inaugurated to save
the last of the great giants of the for
ests, the redwoods of the Sierra
mountains and valleys. The Saturday
Evening Post Is behind the movement
and Samuel G. Blythe, the versatile
writer of political and other current
topics, has been assigned the task of
giving the widest publicity to it in
the hope that California, the west in
general and congress may be aroused
to realization that these mighty
trees--the oldest living things in his
tory-may be saved from the wood
mans axe. The cause is certainly a
worthy one. The entire area in
should be placed in forest reserve
after the government has of course
compensated the present owners of the
land and timber.

REPRESENTATIVE Martin L. Davey
I'M of the fourteenth congressional
district. Ohio, has introduced in con-
gress the department of justice bill
providing an effective weapon to make
America safe for Americans and to
strike down sedition whenever its vi
cious head is raised. 1t would be need
less to say such legislation deserves the
support of every member Of the house
and senate. Sedition and radical ac-
Invites constitute one of the more
pressing domestic problems it is hoped
the present congress will have time to
dispose OF before adjournment.
The United States, strange as it may
seem, is today without an adequate Sc
dition law--one with the necessary
teeth to curb the evil developing in
many parts of the country. The DaVey
bill provides these teeth. 1t calls Tor
fine Of $4,000 and Imprisonment Tor

tempts terrorism. hate, revenge or in
Jury against the person or property of
any officer or agent of the govern
ment. Whoever makes displays, prints
writes or eirculates or makes speech
iustifying any act of sedition or tends
to incite sedition, or affiliates with an
organization having that purpose, can
be fined $4,000 and imprisoned for 10
years by the terms of the bill. Aliens
convicted under the act, at the
expiration of sentence, are to be
deported and forever thereafter de-
barred from again entering the United
|, States Any naturalized citizen con-
yicted by its terms will have his natur-
alization papers revoked.
The imperative importance of legis-
lation along this line is easily seen
when the comment of Attorney Gen
eral Palmer in his report is reviewed
He holds that the present genera

not apply to the present radical ac'
tivities. The espionage act he finds
to be limited in its effect. Other laws

HELPLESS GOVERNORS.

1t must be said that the conference
in Chicago at which six governors of
western coal producing states were
present in person and one by deputy
was a sorry exhibition Of what used
to be called home rule, local self-gov-
eminent and state sovereignty. The
seven solemnly resolved that the state
governments should take all possible
steps to revive coal production, but IL
that had been their main purpose they
might have spared themselves long
Journeys and devoted their time and en-
ergies at home to organizing for the
work. Aside from this. all their recon-
lmendations were directed to the ma
