Advertising signs in the IL nation
al forests of California must come
down, following an order issued by
the district forester at San Francisco
on January 81. Advertisements print
ed on rocks and trees are also to be
effaced According to the regulations
of the forest service of the United
States department of agriculture,
such advertising is prohibited in all
national forests without special per-
mits, which are seldom issued. The
object of this regulation is to pre-
vent defacing the mountain land
scapes of the national forests with
billboards and other unsightly signs.
The public domain was not created to
afford space for advertising pur-
poses When the public is really in
terested in some article it expects to
find that article advertised in the
newspapers.

ALL THIS AND MORE THEY ASK
In commenting upon the flood of
foreign propaganda during the con-
ference for Limitation of ornaments
a prominent American editor made
the observation that it was but the
beginning of an era in which the peo-
pie of the United States would be
subject to continual campaign up
on the part of European interests to
use the United States and it's re-
sources to further the selfish aims
of rival camps in the European con-
tinent and the Far East. His pre-
diction is being fulfilled. There new
er has been, in the history Of the
United States such a campaign of
PROSECUTING by foreign lecturers, for
eign writer's, foreign officials and for
eign-language newspapers as is now
being waged.
The American people are being told
unless they consent to Europe's repu-
dating Sill 900, 100000 of money bor-
rowed from us in good faith that !
Europe will be ruined.
They are being told unless the Uni
ted States makes additional loans of /
billions to Europe, Europe will be
ruined.
They are being told that unless we
consent to lowering our tariff duties
and to the admission of a flood of
cheaplymade manufactured products
from Europe, that Europe will be
ruined
They are being told that unless we
go back to the days of unrestricted
immigration and permit hundreds of
thousands of all classes of people to
flood this country that Europe will be
ruined
They are told that unless the Uni
ted States consents to become party .
to European economic alliances that
Europe will be ruined
They are being told that unless the
United States agrees to enter into
some sort of a league of nations ana
in all the European en- :
broglios, that Europe will be ruined t
1t is, of course, futile to urge that 1
this foreign propaganda be stopped. :
That cannot be and will not be. But r
he growth of it and insstence of it a
should arouse all Americans to the RI
necessity of looking after American =
interests first and remaining free =
rom all foreign entanglements. il
There never has been a time in the a
history of the United States when =
here was greater need for the d
,reachment and practice of 100 per 81
ent Americanism, the setting and p'
-eeping our own house in order, the 6,
of our own industries and p]
aboring classes, the sane conduct of CT
ur own finances, the protection of ~
ur own markets and the safeguard dx
