FIRE PROTECTION WEEK

The proclama ton of President
Harding calling for the observance of
the week of May 1928 as Fire Pro-
lection week is timely when one con-
siders the annual devastation of for
estry in this country. 1t is an appal-
ling statistic that forest fires during
the last five years have swept an area
greater than all New England. And
it is still more impressive when we
; remember that the vast majority of
such confagrations are due to care
lessness, recklessness, thoughtless-
ness. We all sing on occasions, 81
love thy rocks and rills, thy woods
and tempted hills but when it comes
to an outing where smokers congre-
gate, some careless person throws
half-smoked cigar butt into the brush
to shoulder unobserved until it is too
late to repair the damage. Or, when
camping party moves on from it's
overnight rendezvous, the campfire
is left with glowing embers, which
the breeze fans into flame and the
whole countryside is aroused to fight
the menace. 1t is a sad commentary
on the heedlessness, to say the least,
Of multitudes of people, who are sup
posed to have brains in their heads,
that of the 100000 fires that occurred
over 80 per cent. were due to human
agencies, and could have been pre-
vented by care and thoughtfulness.
There is, however, something more
to this subject than mere commercial
ish. The American Forestry associa-
tion believes that the time has come
for regarding the trees as something
more than building material, or sup
ply for paper, or simply as frewood.
It is gathering photographs Of the
lmost remarkable trees of the coun-
try and purposes housing the pictures
in "hall of fame for trees" What
a disaster it would be if the Washing
ton elm at Cambridge, where Wash
ington took command of the army.
should perish, or the Liberty tree of
Annapolis, under which treaty with
the Indians was signed in 1862, should
fall, or the elm which overshadows
the Lighthouse within which Oberlin
college came into existence in 1888,
should be destroyed, to say nothing of
the millions of the Sequoia groves of
the Pacific coast, some of which an
tedate the pyramids. In every state
of the Union doubtless there are
"green-robed senators Of mighty
woods" the destruction of which
would be an irreparable disaster. AS
matter of mere sentiment everyone
should treat the forests of the land
with care, if not with patriotic devo-
tion.,
Joyce Kilmer, who died on the bat
tlefelds of tree-dead France put the
matter thus:
/ think that / shall never see
A poem lovely as tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth's sweet-howing
breast;
A trea that looks to God all day,
And lifts her heavy arms to pray;
A tree, that may, in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

The Law in Our Neighboring
Oasis

An inquirer, whether prompted by
morality or thirst not stated, asks
for information regarding Quebec
new liquor law. First hand enlight-
eminent can be given by some thou
sands of New Englanders before fall
no doubt, but A. E. Laing OF the
Anti-Saloon league reviews the new
statute as follows:
The new law is an experiment. in
government ownership and control.
1t will work just as the previous
law permitting sale OF beer. wine,
etc.-prove farce, so far as check
ing the sales.
The law is administered by COM
mission of five members.
Fifteen liquor stores were opened
May LIST in Montreal and others in
other cities as fast as the commission
ers could do it.
Branches of these stores are per-
mitted, under liberal regulations, so
that any one who wants the stuff can
get it.
The law says one bottle at pur-
chase. Another purchase can imme-
diately be made and so on adlib.
These stores and branches sell not
only Intoxicating liquors, but all kinds.
The quality is guaranteed by Can
ada.
The law contains 145 sections.
Permits are issued to sell wine and
beer in hotels, traverns, or bar rooms
to hotels, steamboats,, dining cars,
clubs, summer resorts, amusement
parks, grocery stores, etc.
The intent of the law is to get rev.
enue, evidently.
Hotels pay for three permits, for
the bar room, to serve on tables, and
for banquets, and these cost from
$500 each up.
These stores and branches sell only
by the bottle, sealed and each bottle is
a package.
These can be sent by pacel post, ex-
press and common carrier anywhere
in the Province of Quebec.
Devotees at the shrine of Bacchus
who journey northward to pay hon.
age to their saint should remember
that the only souvenirs of the pill
grimage they can legally bring home
must be inside.

UNREASONABLE AND BUR-
DENSOME EXPENSE OF
GOVERNMENT

In order to fully appreciate the
present unreasonable and burden
some expense Of government we
must refe,' back to numbers OF
years ago to make comparison.
IN the year 1855 the eXpendi-
lures Of the government amount
ed to $2.CC per person. ENper-
ditures grew steadily from that
time until nineteen and sixteen
when the cost was $1,000. It is
well to call attention to the fact
that during only five. Of those
years did the Democrats have
control of all branches of the GOV
eminent.
Today the per capita expense
Of this government is $5O.OO-an
increase of $4,000 in the five years
between 1916 and 1921.
While a Democratic president
served during most Of this period
there was not a time during those
years when the Republicans
could not have defeated any mea
sure proposed, and there has not
been day since the Republican
President with a a.jority in both
branches of Congress, could not
have put into effect economy
measures had it been the DISPOSE
ton Of the President and that
body to do so.
That there are hundreds .!
ways III which economies coulG
be practiced, and that there is
no disposition personally on the
part Of the President to put then
into effect, IS shown by his writ
