ther whether he might have a suite

Flather that he did not know Just
how long he would be in New York
having just arrived to discover that
steamships bound for South Africa
were not leaving frequently, and that
he would like to have about three
rooms and a bath on the outside of
the hotel and no higher above the
street than was absolutely necessary
"To be sure, Mr.. Zann," replied Mr.
Flather, "to be sure. | can let you

D1Sli1CI, May -. lJZU.
"Protect the forests from fire.
Use the out of doors-sanely."
That is the message which every
person in the Northwest should grasp
and act upon that our heritage of
scenic beauty may be preserved.
The campaign of educating the
people of the necessity of protecting
our forests from fire which has been
carried on by the U. S. Forest Ser
vice has been given added impetus by
proclamations from Governors #
states of the Northwest, setting
aside May % to 90 as Forest Pro
lection Week"
The campaign has a double pur-
pose in that it urges elimination Of
costly fires both as an economic step
and that the natural scenic resour-
ces which annually attract thousands
may be preserved. Thus the camper
or casual visitor who puts out an in
eipient fire or avoids the carless tao
tics which start one is serving his
section of the country by protecting
it economically and scenically.
The object of the week is 70
bring forcibly home to the public the
need of care to prevent fires from
starting and of energetic efforts to
put out forest fires quickly when
they do start.
The forests are natures most gen
erous gift to the people. As they
stand, they represent billions of dol
ials in wealth: converted into lum-
ber, their falue multiplies twenty
fold. They represent tremendous
| asset to the state in the production
of taxes; they represent wages "a

Sagebrush would, today be growing
in this valley in place of a twenty
million dollar fruit crop.
The protection of this splendid re
source is the responsibility of all -
neonle of the state.
Here are few facts about on
forests and the need Of giving then
adequate protection:
I. The Pacific Northwest is thu

Q. The value of the annual timbar

goes into general circulation fo

The militant members of the national Wom-

Senator Harding to call ON Tennessee to ratlfy

planned that he was not In position to do SO
they went away in what might be called glow,
their blood heat about one hundred and two
degrees, and referred to this wen weighed and
proper statement insultingly as 1.-THE same old
bunk
Yet Senator Harding was clearly right anI
could do no otherwise than he did. He has been
d consistent suffragist and would be glad to at
tach all women to sound political principles
But he cannot bring pressure on sovereign
state and cannot properly go as far IN that dl-
rection as the president somewhat improperly
does The constitution of Tennessee explicitly
provides that no legislature which has not been
elected on the issue, has authority to ratify a
national amendment, and if Mr.. Harding should
ask the Legislators Of Tennessee to break their
law it probably7woud have an effect the reverse
OF what these excited, shortsighted women had
hoped
This feverish, bosterous, perernptory wing
OF suffragisrn with their attacks candidates,
their orders, their threats and their determine
ton to keep in the spotlight at any cost, is max
ing everybody else worn out, Ife-weary, IN
fnitely tired. They do not represent, thanks
be, the level-headed, constitution
law-abiding women who viii cast their bal
lots with no idea that in casting them they
are engaged in tommahawking and scalpng
expedition Parties should pay attention to
the militants, however shrill and raucons they
become. They can influence no votes but their
own. The wives and mothers Of the country
and the sensible women generally will vote as
their conscience, convictions, predictions,
family or group associations prompt Them and
probably vote wisely in the main. They are
no tail for militant kite, but are quite dis
posed to let it dart and dive until election makes

The Caucus Plan.

Des MONIES Capital: If the primary
system should be abolished and the
caucus plan should be introduced,
certain legal enactments will be
necessary. First of all there must
be an hour fixed for the meeting Lnf
the caucus. The form of organization
must be named by statute. Every
thing must be determined in tn
caucus by ballot or, if by vote, theI-
there must be tellers to insure fair
count.
We believe the caucus system could
be made perfectly fair.
The caucus should take the place
Of the town meeting.
The thing that would insure fair
ness would be TO reduce the size of
the caucus by reducing the size OF
the election precinct. IL caucus of
two hundred voters were held the
meeting could be conducted with per-
feet fairness The caucus thus would
have the advantage of the privilege
of debate. It might be we'll to re-
auire those who wish to be delegates
to any county convention to announce
themselves as candidates previous TO
the holding of the caucus. This would
prevent any surprises or put.up jobs.
The primary was instituted to give
every voter chance and through the
caucus system, with the caucus re-
duced in size, every voter could have
chance-an open and intelligent
chance

CENTRIFUGAL FORCES.

Centrifugal force has been active always-at
least ever since man has known anything about
forces. It has tended to send things flying off
from beaten track into space governed by a
law of their own; bent upon travelling a path
straight ahead to goal Of their own Luckily
for solar systems, it has had gravtaton, that
all pervasve, all compelling bond Of unity. to
hold it together else it would have been jun
bled into chaos long ago
The world is trying to recover from the eff
feet of moral centrifugal force as exarnplcd in
Germany's bolt from civilized international
law and order, and here in this county we are
trying to get things together out of the r1ck
into which our part in the war plunged us. It
is a hard task, for the centrifugal forces set M
by the war are still operating There is strong
tendency on the part of people in groups and
as individuals to fly off at a tangent; coopera-
ton, the gravitaton Of social forces, is having
hard time Of it to maintain things stable.
This Is true even of moral forces. The in
terchurch movement promised much as CO.
operative effort by the moral forces of the nation
and world to work in solid mass for christian
