editorial, which is plea for the

would declare its belief that every
county in Florida should acquire and
dedicate to park purposes one or
more good sized tracts OF pine timber
lands, in order that some natural
beauty of forest may be conserved to
the coming generations. At the rate
pine timber is disappearing In Flor
ida 1t will be only few years until
a good specimen of this noble tres
will be rarity. Our forests have
been ruthlessly and wastefully sacri-
feed to commercialism; and while 1t
is recognized that yielding fields and
fruitful groves must supplant the
woodlands in the inevitable law of
development, yet something should
be conceded to the esthetic side, and
we owe 1t to ourselves and those who
are coming after us to preserve SONS
OF the natural beauty that Is fast dis
appearing from the Florida land
scape. There is nothing more beau
tiful to our mind than a forest OF
virgin pines, unmarried by the depre-
datoins Of man. If it be true that
the groves were Gods first temples"
then, indeed, were the pine forests
the very cathedrals of primitive wor-
ship. Rescue some acres of these
forests while there Is time and In
their holy hush years hence men
and women will bless our forethought
In leaving to them and to the world a
legacy OF beauty and inspiration out
Of all proportion to whatever cost
may be entailed."
We would add he~suggestion that
there is field of usefulness for the
genius who will devise some profit
able way of utilizing the waste of
Florida sawmills which is now
burned as 1t accumuIates. At many
of the large mills the fires consuming
trimmings and sawdust from pine
timber burn continually It is a loss
that ought to be conserved.

u. S. TOBACCO MEN SEEK
GREAT FRENCH MONOPOLY
Proposition to Advance 10000,
600, 900 Francs, Once Turned
Down. Before Cabinet Again.

| PARIS. February II (by the Asso-
ciated Press).-Proposals by four
great tobacco growers associations in
the United States for an immediate
loan of 100000 francs in return
| for a concession involving a tobacco
monopoly in France were made sew
eral months ago but were rejected
by Louis Klotz, then minister of
finance, according to the Journal.
! In amplifying its information re-
garding the proposed grant, the news
paper has learned. it asserts, that the
proposition has been renewed since
the portfolio of finance. 1t has been
discussed at greater length by the
present cabinet because of the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation in the finan-
| cial world, according to the newspa-
per, which says that the loan of 49,
| 900, 100000 francs was for the tobacco
monopoly and the additional 10000
| 100000 was to be conditional upon
| the granting of a monopoly for the
sale of matches.
| Government experts estimate the
profit from the sale of tobacco in
France is about 500,000,000 francs per
year. A match monopoly, it is de-
clared. would never be a paying ven
ture because matches are manufac-
tured in this country. Some profits,
however, were made during the war
when matches were purchased in for
eign countries by the government,
which acted merely as a sales agent
The Journal. says Hugh c. Wallace
American bassador, made unofficial
representations to the French gov
ernment indorsing the monopoly prop
osition.

ASSERTS SOCIALISTS
| USED FEDERAL FUNDS
Senator Harding Declares These
Forces Influenced Admins
ton for Own PURPOSES.

| NEW YORK. February II (by the
Associated Press).-Charges that so
cialistic forces which found a place in
| the great war machine of the govern
tunity to use federal funds for socialis-
tic aims were made last night by Sena-
tor Warren C. Harding of Ohio in an
address delivered before the Kings
county republican committee. Senator
Harding declared that these forces had
Influenced the administration and that
they had attempted to obtain hundreds
of millions Of dollars ostensibly for fed
eral power development when their real
aim was nationalized coal mines and
power plants
Attacking the administration for al
legged inefficiency and waste in it's con-
duct of the war, the speaker declared
that "out of the billions expended in
dire necessity we have the one real
physical asset of a constructive program
shipping, ample for the greatest mer-
chant marine the world has ever
known" Senator Harding declared that
these ships must be put into the hands
Of private enterprise.
II hope" he continued, rCongress or
it's agents will not sell at needless sac
rifice or on partial payments delayed
beyond the natural life of ship. Let
them sell at their worth I do not like
the subsidy which is cloaked in the sac
rificed selling price"
Referring to the railroad situation the
senator declared that government opera
ton of the railroads was,."a gigantic
blunder and paternal socialism, He
charged the administration with having
rushed with ''fine phrases of democracy"
into autocracy. ut is time,' he added
Ito harken back to sanity. 1t is neces-
sary for us to unshackle. There is no
place in America for restriction of the
press or restriction of speech. We must
see to it that there is no enslavement
Of righteous business We must give
back to America the freedom which
made US what we are. Europe is at
peace. Our peace would have been pro-
claimed. but that one man is opposed
to 100000. .000."
