"The purpose Of these tours is to
inform the public Of the methods
used by the State in reforesting
not only its own forest preserve
but the new areas recently pur-
chased under the Reforestation
Amendment to the Constitution,
whereby upwards of million acres
of abandoned farm land are to be
planted with trees over a period Of
fourteen years.
I'm the present year, the State Of
New York has planted more trees
than any state ever planted in one
year in the whole history of the re-
forestation movement 100000 on
$1,000 acres" the department
claims.
States are coming to realize that
forests are necessary to life as well
as to industry, according to express
sions from many of them. Forests,
aside from their timber value, are
necessary to watersheds, to the
prevention of erosion, the preven-
ton or retarding of floods; they are
a source of raising underground
water tables upon which agricul-
ture depends principally, they serve
as environment to many species,
chiefly insectivorous and game
birds that destroy insects that
plague the farmer, foresters point
out.

BRIDGE FIEND TEST

Considering the spread of the bridge
playing industry, it is strange that none of
our legislators had had laws passed for it's
regulation. Now comes a suggestion that
players be compelled to pass an examination
before being licensed to indulge in the game
The suggestion comes, not from United
States Senator, but from an editor, whose
zeal for the public welfare has been aroused
by report from Kansas City, where a wife
shot her husband. The victim was also the
lady's bridge partner, it appears, and when
he bid one spade and another player plunged
on different suit the wife raised to four
spades. The husband was set, blaming his
wife for reckless bidding, and as a result of
the argument she shot him.
Now, the aforesaid editor asserts, all
persons who aspire to play bridge should be
caused to pass rigid test, not with refer
ence to their skill, but to determine their
mental poise. If the applicant is unable to
be set or have an ace trumped without show
ing undue emotion license should be denied.
The trouble is that such law, if enforc-
ed, would practically eliminate all who take
the game seriously.

It is not easy to be patient with Governor
Roosevelt when he others of misrepresenta
ton or distortion of facts. If his record were
clear in this respect it wud be thing but in two
important instances at least he himself has made
campaign charges which could not be supported by
evidence. Once he said that the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation was loaning money only to the
big banks and corporations. Nothing could have
been further from the truth and had the governor
been SO disposed he could have found out how far
from the truth it really In his Columbus ad-
dress, he made the declaration that the admins
tration, through the State Department, had en-
dorsed some of the loans made by private banking
concerns to foreign countries This also mis-
statement, pure and simple. The allegation
had been brought forward months before in the
United States and the State Department had denied it
categorically The Senate was satisfied with the
PLANTATION and the country at large The only
unbeliever, apparently, was the governor of New
York.
In his prohibition speech, Mr.. Roosevelt lodges
two specific complaints against President Hoover
first, that the President has read into the Demo
cratic platform something that is not there, and
second, that the President is insincere in his own
advocacy of a change in the prohibition law. The
first charge it to us, is groundless and the
second merely insulting. What Hr. Hoover said in
his acceptance speech was simply that the Demo
cratic plank for outright repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment provided no guarantee against the re-
turn of the saloon. This is strictly true To be
the Democrats are on record as opposed to the re-
turn of the saloon and the states to adopt
which will make it's return impossible But the
weakness of their platform, distinguished from
the Republican PLATFORM is that it offers not assur
ance but only recommendation. The President had a
perfect right to direct attention to this difference
and that is what he did.
The governors suggestion that Mr. Hoover may
have had his tongue in his cheek when he expressed
his opposition to constitutional prohibition is silly
that it can be excused only on the ground of cam
paign emotionasm. The Presidents attitude is per-
fectly clear and definite

here today by officials of the Amer

here today by officials of the Amer
can Game Association. Both the
Republican and Democratic nation
al conventions incorporated planks
for conservation of natural re-
sources in their respective plat
forms, specifically naming several
that are beneficial to wild life.
This movement is evident in
France, too, where cable dispatches
recently told of large number of
candidates promising more hunting
and better fishing.
Among the candidates running
for governor of a state who
have made platform pledges for
restoration of wild life is Judge
Henry Horner, running for the
governorship of Illinois. A, num-
Der of sportsmen have rallied to
his aid, forming a Judge Horner
Sportsmen's Conservation League
to support him.
Judge Horner has assured the
League that if elected governor of
Illinois, she proposes:
1. To support the reforestation
of the timber-denuded lands of the
State wherever practicable.
2. To see to it that drainage
matters receive the study and at
tention of practical men and to
avoid the waste of State funds up
on unworthy projects.
3. To see that the present game
laws are honestly, equitably. and
fairly enforce through the Conser-
walton Department and to stop
illegal 'bootlegging' of fish and
game.
4. To encourage cooperation
among landowners, the farmers and
the Conservation Department for
the restoration of game and fish.

that name and place bring back
memories. One of the well adver-
tised towns Of the West. In 1906 on
Labor Day, as the biggest and best
advertised and best prize fight
ever held That was the famous
Gans-Nelson fight of AZ rounds
that was promoted by the famous
Tex Richards 1t was the first big
purse at that time $4,000. They
kept the prize money all in gold in
the window of the Northern Saloon
and Gambling House, where all
could see it. 1t was just exactly 26
years to a day when I was there, 1
had known two of three prin-
cipals, Nelson and Richards.
There is an old depot down
where the fight was held, and the
railroad of it has been torn up.
The whole line is out of commits
sion now but there stands the de-
pot right out there connected with
nothing. It has now about 500
people in all that still live there
The Goldfield Hotel is kept up and
is quite a place yet. 1t was little
city of twenty thousand in its
boom days, and some of the for
tunes of Nevada were made there.
It's a Gold town, and they are
working some of the mines by
small leases. The Government is
investigating it as they think there
is big stuff there yet. Now here
had been full of a new strike at a
place called Clarkdale, for a fell
low named found it. So off I went
to it, a newspaperman and mining
man went with me, and sure
enough away out there in the hills
on those desert flats was dozen OF
camps all around a hole in the
ground. Lots of EN- had leased
from the original striker, and the
others had staked near around
there. Well they say there was
some real gold there. Of course till
they get way down in they cant
tell Just how much but the lead
looked mighty good so, they said.
Nevada is great old State to
prowl around in. I went on down
to another famous old place Ryo-
lite, and another nearby called
"Bullfrog". But it had jumped its
last Then on that same trip and
that same day I drove into Death
Valley and visited Death Valley
Scottys Famous Castle. But that's
a whole story in itself, in fact its
a book, but just get in your car
and drive around some time nc
matter where you live, you will be
surprised the old interesting
things there is to visit. But don't
miss Nevada.

THE INVESTIGATORS

Waste of public funds, inconvenience
and expense to legitimate business enter
prises, and no benefits to the public-these
are the net results of most of the invest
legations" instigated by radical members of
Congress, principally for political purposes.
A case in point is the Federal Trade
Commissions investigation of public utili-
ties, begun early in 1923, and still unfinished
after more than four and half years. The
testimony taken at the hearings and partial
reports of the Commission fill more than
thirty large volumes which few will ever see
and fewer will ever read. The general pub
lie has long since lost interest in the proceed
ing, if it ever had any, and nothing of the
slightest benefit to anyone has been accom-
plished
In the meantime rates for electrical and
other utility services have been steadily re-
duced, not because of the investigation, but
in spite of it. Greater reductions might have
been possible if these industries had been
free from the harassment and expense caus-
ed by the investigation. The expense in
Cured by the Commission has also been very
great, and must be paid by the taxpayers.
In view of the insistent demand being
made on all sides for economy in government
it seems that such expensive and futile in
vestigations, as well as many other bureau
cratic activities for which there is no ap-
parent necessity, might well be eliminated.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1932-09-22

his reference to economy was the note of reverence
sounded by President Hoover in his speech of ac-
ceptance. Our great first President, George Wash
ington, made the famous statement as to the need
of religion and mortality if the Republic was to
endure.
In the midst of our present depression and other
troubles the President placed emphasis the need
of spiritual well as material reform" Perhaps
the politicians of both parties and the artfu makers
of platforms did not much attention to it but the
people at large it is to be hoped have grasped ITS
meaning
Let's quote it. 1t was not given much promi-
nence in any editorial we have in the daily
press The Chief Executive of this nation said
THE problems of the next few years
not only economic They are also moral and
spiritual. The present check to our material
success must deeply stir our national con-
science upon the purposes of life itself. It
must cause US to revalue and reshape our
drift from materialism to higher note of .
individual and national ideals
Underlying every purpose is the spiritual
application of moral ideals which are the
fundamental basis Of happiness in people
This is land of homes, churches, school
houses, dedicated to the sober and enduring
satisfactions of family life and the rearing
of children in an atmosphere of ideals and
religious faith. Only with these high stand
ards can we hold society together, and only
from them can government survive or bust
ness prosper. They are the sole insurance to
the safety of our children and the continuity
of the nation"
We have been passing through hard and de-
pressing times, and to many there comes the temp
tation of despair and loss of Faith. The times
than ever require that keep before the
motto. I'm God trust" which was placed even on
the coinage of this nation by the founders of this
Republic. In our country there are millions of
faith and consequently can have idea of NOR
atty.
Fortunately for this nation mostly all of
Chief Executives have been in a considerable de-
gree men with great faith in God. In uttering the
words he did in reference "the sole insurance Of
the safety of the nation" the President struck
note that must win the of all parties
who themselves have faith in God and who uphold
the Washington ideal that religion and morality"
