Some Sort of Forestry
Law Is Essential

Mr.. Benjamin II. SIncell,
The Republican,
Oakland, Maryland.
Dear Mr. BEN
| was just reading for second or
perhaps the third time your editorial
of April 4th.
Somehow, it strikes me as about
the best thing Of its kind I've read in
a long time. You are to be congratu-
lated.
| read your paper more carefully
here than | did when | was in Oak
land. | still have very warm spot
in my heart for old Garrett County.
When vacations are to be had, may
mine be among its hills!
There seems to be some argument
over the forestry law. Now, don't
think Pm getting into politics and it
would be wonderful if the wooded
hills and glens Of Garrett county
could be kept out. However, no one
can look at Altamont Springs and a
lot of other places around Oakland
and not see that some sort Of forestry
law is essential. Human selishness
rever considers the water sheds or
the fire hazards or coming genera
tions. Mayor Fraley and were
amazed and heart sick when we dis
covered what the timber cutting had
cone to Altamont Springs.
Here's more power to you, your
paper and the excellent ideals you
encourage Printing orders, political
groups, selfish interests, notwith-
standing, you are rendering your COM
munity and your country valuable
service.
Yours sincerely,
DELBERT DAVIS.

1t is not likely this amendment will
be adopted and it ought not to be
Necessary, anyhow. But it does show
the strong feeling among lawyers
not only as to the assignment of JUS
tees to noncourt jubs but as to the
somewhat degrading propaganda in
behalf of individual justices for high
political offices. In recent years there
has been a great deal Of this. Large
ly it has centered around Justice Will
liam O. Douglas, whose attitude, to
put it mildly, has not been one of dis
enlargement. At the moment the
names of both Mr.. Douglas and Mr.
Jackson are being discussed in gossip
columns and labor periodicals as as
pirants for the Democratic nomination
for the Vice Presidency in 1913.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1946-04-25

Mr.. Jackson's name also has been
under consideration as a possible can
didate for governor in New York.
Mr.. Jackson is not likely to be named
for governor and in all probability
neither he nor Mr.. Douglas will be
nominated for the Vice Presidency.
But it cannot help but cheaper the
court in the eyes Of the people when
the names of its members are thus
banded about by politicians and made
the subject of ribald comment by the
gossip writer's. 1t is not easy to main
tain the dignity Of the court and pre-
serve its tradition of aloofness from
politics under such circumstances.
In fairness to Mr.. Jackson, it should
be said that he is not aware of the
booming of him for either governor
or Vice President. No one suggests
that since he has been on the court
