Some az the forestry people are emphasizing the fact
that an immense quantity OF timber IS being used up in
the building Of houses. the making OF paper, and 40 forth.
The tact is granted. II We did not use up so much timber
in these ways We shosld have more standing trees, which
would be pleasant But the chances are that we are going
to continue to build houses and print books and new.na
pera We need the trees. for various purposes, but the
true policy - to plant more Of them, and to avoid waste
in their uss. The tact that va use much timber Is no re-
fecdon on our civilization.

TREE PLANTING.

We are told that = considerable part of what il now
North Dakota was once 4 great inland aea, and that its
present surface was formed by the deposit Of silt and
the grinding of iceberxs which psoved into ridges great
deposits Of rock which had BEEN reduced to varying, de-
trees OF finonass. Water courses were formed, which
drained OF ths surface water and permitted the growth
Of vegetation. The seeds Of trees found their way into
the tssrhos4, and these terminated and took root Trees
had . hard time OF it on the open prairie. Long before

being ixnited in the dry grass of lightning, and arising
from Other chance causes. aAl that was not thoroughly
vet burned. But all along the streams there was often
enough water to check the fires. and gradually the
streams became lined with timber, WHICH has attained
regular forest size. That seems to be the only reason
Why our prairies are not az we'll forested rs are the banks

Scattered throughout the state are large areas Of
ssand or gravel which arc Of no value for cultivation.
These might as we'll be growing trees. Some day they
will be valuable forest areas. With a little protection
they could be made to produce literally of good timber,
Sand their utilization for this purpose would in time trans
form the appearance and in some measure the general
character of the state.
For the development Of such forest areas two things
are necessary. protection from fires and from too close
scropping by animals. There are seasons when the fire

which they would take care Of themselves

LESSONS FROM THE BIRDS.


The crows are supposed to BE wise
old guys.

What shall we do for hash to eat?'
We naturally feel that this old
fellow had an eye to business and
realized the responsibilities of fam
lily support that rested upon him and
was going to make good
"A crow sat on railroad track,
Picking his teeth with a carpet
tack" -.
We naturally think that he was a
lazy, shiftless, inprovident guy, and
that he never amounted to anything.
Probably he never had savings bank
account in. his life, and when he
died, very likely his friends had to
take up a collection to bury him.
Some crows are not very wise
after all. y =. -,
5 Some of the birds are the busiest
people in town. Mr. and Mrs. Bird
go South for the winter and come
back in the spring and find their last
years house demolished, no home to
go to. They do not sit down in
fidleness and improvidence and mourn
over their loss. On the contrary
they keep smiling and sing thei1
sweetest songs and work like Tro.
jams, and new house is built and a
growing family is provided for; and
when the little family comes, Mrs.
Bird stays at her home and takes
care of them, and Mr.. Bird gets out
and hunts for food. -

THE. IMMIGRANT QUESTION.

The hordes Of foreigners who are
planning to come to this country, if
possible, are menace to the oppor-
tunities of the native born colored
working people who should be pro-
tected by appropriate legislation.
Two suggestions have been offered
with respect to proposed immigration
legislation, in addition to the per-
centage. basis submitted by Senator
Dillingham;. One is that the number
of immigrants permitted to enter
from any particular country be gov
erned, as far as possible, by the per-
centage Of that element of immigra-
tion which over period of, say, the
five years Immediately preceding the
war sought to be naturalized, the
number to be regulated at the ter
mination Of each fve-or ten-year
period. Government statistics should
be available for such solution. An
other suggestion is to compel each
immigrant to hold license costing,
say, SIP annually so long as he is not
naturalized, without which he could
not be employed. This would pro-
vide a source of Federal revenue and
subject the Immigrant to- taxation
which he now escapes. IF it is worth
coming here to work, it is worth
paying for the privilege, and those
races which take no interest in this
country other than to receive high
wages and then return should be
penalized for their Indifference tc
American Institutions. The colored
people all are citizens and taxpayers
and their interests should not be
overlooked.

ENFORCE THE 14TH AND 18TH
AMENDMENTS

It is with very great satisfaction
that we notice there seems to be some
hope that, at last, the members of
Congress have determined to form a
plan for representation in that august
body upon the basis of the voters per-
mitted to participate in elections in
the several states, rather than upon
mere population, in Presidential and
Congressional elections.
Congressman George H. Tinkham,
of Massachusetts, has introduced a
resolution based upon the provisions
of the 18th and 18th Amendments to
the Constitution and showing that the
representation from several states is
not in keeping with those provisions.
Notably in the Southern states, glar.
ing ignoring Of these constitutional
amendments has been practiced for
many years, giving eleven of these
states 126 votes in the electoral col
lege and 104 representatives in Con
gress on total vote of all presidential
candidates of 10000. The state OF
New York, alone, cast total vote OF
1,706,354 but has only 43 representa-.
tives in Congress and 29 votes in the
electoral college.
On account of this fragrant ignoring
of the 14th and 18th Amendments we
have had the infection of Wilson and
Wisconsin for the past seven years
and ten months, and we most sin
cerely hope that the present Congress
will make such a condition impossible
for the future.

"A PREDICTION VERIFIED.

Some years ago, when the South
ern pastime'' Of lynching colored peo-
pie was very largely INDUCED in,
THE APPEAL predicted that eventu-
ally white men would be common
victims Of lynchers; and, the lynch
ing statistics for 1920 show that our
prediction was notably verified; as
eight white men were lynched during
last year, among the sixty-one VIC
TINS of mob murder-more than one
eighth of the total number. And, as
white men became such common VIC
tins Of Judge Lynch, white men be-
gan to see and feel the disgrace more
clearly, and very many articles have
appeared from time to time con-
demning lynching. 1t makes all the
difference in the world whose OK is
heard-of thing for lynchers to be ap-
pretended or indicted, as white men
gored. It used to be- an almost I'M
were the lynchers and colored people
the victims; and, the usual coroner's
verdict was that the victim "came
to his death at the hands of persons,
to the jury, unknown" It now, re-
Gently, seems that when white per-
son is lynched there is no trouble
aobut identifying the lynchers who
are very promptly arrested, tried and
convicted by jury of their peers.
Only last week at Jasper, Ala, ten
members of Co. M, state militia, were
arrested charged with lynching a
white miner, and a special grand jury
returned indictments against nine Of
them. In this case all records for
speed in criminal procedure in Ala
bama were smashed.
At Geneva, Ala, white man was
lynched for making alleged insulting
remarks about a woman One of the
lynchers, white, was convicted of
manslaughter and was sentenced to
the penitentiary for ten years. We
now predict that white men who
lynch colored ones will eventually be
apprehended, arrested, tried and con-
victed for this horrible crime, in the
South, as they recently have been in
