Furthermore, "It is public interest, at
fecting all citizens, and therefore demands
action on the part OF the public A forest
fire protective system organized and oper-
ated by the state is the first prerequisite in
stamping out the fire menace"
Such a system is provided by the pending
Forestry bill, which gives Georgia the bene-

pioneered in this vast realm OF public welfare.
Forest fire protection service is described
patrolman would travel through the wooded
country urging the public not to set fires
and demonstrating the need for fire pre-
vention. He would put out small fires and
with the help of local wardens, endeavor to
control the larger fires. The work of these
men is co-ordinated and rounded into
systematic plan by the district fire wardens
and by the chief fire warden for the state
as a whole" These general methods
adapted, Of course. to particular conditions
and to local sentiment.
That they are effective is evidenced not
only by the increasing number of states In
stituting such service, but also by the more
liberal appropriations therefor. If the eff
fort did not pay and pay well, the following
bit of history could not have been chron-
icled: "a dozen years ago eleven states
were protecting a forest area OF sixty-one
million acres and spending about three hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars year; to-
day twenty-six states are protecting one
hundred and sixty-six million acres and
spending nearly two million dollars a year"
Shall Georgia continue tagging in this

important policy when she OF all states

that soon will cost them the life of great

Last of Conp;ct Leasing

as long as it is permitted there is no guaran.
tee that the rights of prisoners will be re-
spected. The great majority Of states, in
harmony with the developing sentiment for
humane treatment of prisoners, have already
abolished the lease evil. AS one Of the most
progressive of southern states, Alabama can
not afford to retain a relic of barbarism.'
Economically, as we'll as in other respects,
the farming out of convict labor stands con-

AMERICA WILL DOMINATE
THE WORLD
BY DR.. Frank Crane

One hundred years from now the greatest
seat of power and influence on earth will be
the American continent.
By that time Europe will have receded in
the background of Importance. 1t will exist
mainly for its history and it's interest as the
source Of culture and civilization. But the
scepter will have passed to the western
hemiS phere.
The reason for this is that America has
the two necessary foundations: first, it has
the physical basis; second, it has the spirit
uaI basis.
1t has vast fields of fertility and unmeas-
ured mineral riches far in excess of Europe.
The people have hardly begun to tap these
resources.
In the term America are included the
United States and Canada, for they are both
essentially one, one in the character of the
people, one economically, one in every way
except certain political ties which doubtless
will have faded before the end of another
century.
Few of us realize the enormous strides
which Canada has made within the space of
one or two generations. Not so long ago it
was generally considered wild waste with
an inhospitabIe climate and uncomfortable
distances. Today, having sprung up as If
overnight, it is traversed from the Atlantic
to the Pacific by a network of railways,
some of them the finest in the world.
Where once roamed herds of buffalo and
where savage Indians gained precarious
innumerable farms, great herds of cattle and
sheep and manufacturing enterprises of all
kinds.
Going west from Winnipeg when you pass
the town of Fleming you enter the great
wheat growing province of Canada, Saskatch-
evan, which produces over so per cent Of
the total wheat crop of the Dominion.
The vast stretch of country between Win
nipeg and Calgary is a mammoth agricultur-
al area suitable in itself to be the field of
vast empire. The three prairie provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta con-
tain a land of 466,000,00O acres. OF
these acres 20O,O00,000 are frst-class land
that will raise the finest crops. At present
less than 35,000,000 acres are under Guilt
vation with only about million and three
quarters population. OF the remaining 1861
600, 900 acres of good farming land consider
ably over 100000 acres lie within fifteen
miles of existing railroads.
This Is a sample of the almost limitless
resources of Canada which have hardly been
touched.
Similar conditions are found In the west
and south of the United States.
Beside this physical base there is the
spiritual base.

MY FAVORITE STORIES

This was a favor1te with the late Jo-

than once when he was making after dinner
speeches.
II had friend named JONES'" said Mr..
Choate, whose son, although of COM
paratively tender years, was addicted to the
reprehensible habit of indulging in alcoholic
beverages. The father packed him off to
Harvard in the hope that the youth might
become interested in educational matters and
lose his craving for hard liquor.
It appeared that the fathers hopes were to
be gratited, because the young man, in writ

his ways and now devoting himself exclu-

he would take the youngster by surprise. So.

But the train was delayed and my friend
did not reach Cambridge until after mid
night. He got in a cab and rode to the boys

What VIII the Legislature Do
About This Craze Need?

nJTY it is that every member OF the Leg
islature could not have heard and pom
dered the recent address in Atlanta by
Mr.. J. c. Peters, of the United States For
est Service, touching certain problems and
perils in which Georgians are deeply con-
the facts which he presented and who has
moments regard for the common veal,
can fail to see how imperative it is that
the Forestry bill be enacted without further
delay
The chief object of that measure is to
provide efficient and adequate means for
preventing forest fires. Not till this is
done cam other efforts to conserve our de-
clining woodland resources become effective.
There is little use in trying to safeguard
trees against insect ravage or reckless ex-
ploitation when they are about to be wiped
timber growing by private interests if the
state will not protect them against wanton
. kindlers of destruction.
Georgia's record in the matter of forest
fires is appalling, disgraceful. "In the
seven years ended with 1922" says Mr..
Peters, incomplete reports showed that
there were more than twenty-six thousand,
six hundred forest fires in this state, or
TEN AND ONE-HALF PER CENT OF
" ~
STATES" In the country as a whole,
each year, twice many acres Of tim
in numbering operations. This is deplor-
able enough; but Georgia leads the waste,
with twice as many fires as any other state!
An official survey shows that the regions
thus blighted in the course of the seven
years comprise some six million, six hun
dred thousand acres-a third of the states
whole forest area. The immediate damage
to timber and improvements is reckoned at
more than six million dollars, which is rela-
Industry suffers today, agriculture will suf-
fer tomorrow from every large forest fire;
and soon or late every business, every house
hold, every citizen pays the penalty.
Incendiarism Is charged with twenty-five
per cent of these fires; brush burning, with
seventeen per cent; carelessness and design,
with ninety per cent. Only sparse ten
Tex cent are traceable to causes beyond hui
man control. This means that Georgia can
stop continual destruction of her woodland
treasure If she will. What twenty-six other
states have done, to their everlasting ad-
vantage, she can do, to hers. It is essential
however. says Mr.. Peters, that efforts be
systematic and coordinate. mo hit or
