In view of the enormous damage done by forest fires during the past summer, the protection of forests will receive unusual atten tion from all government bureaus hav ing to do with their control and man agement, and Congress itself Is likely to take a hand. In a letter he recently wrote to Governor Hay. of Washlnirton, Secretary Balllnger made this obser vation: "A subject of very great Importance Is tha prevention and control of forest fires, both as relates to the public domain and to State lands: also to tha protection of private Interests. My observation has been that a large per centage of forest fires is the result of fires started by railroad locomotives passing over the Cascade MoiaS tains. In my travels this summor through Cali fornia. I was Impressed with the fact that railroads using oil for fuel In their locomotives are free from criti cism In this respect. , "I do not believe that the installation of spark-arresters will accomplish any beneficial result, but the railroads should be required to clean up their rights of way so as to prevent the re currence of fires from this source, and until so prepared, should be compelled to maintain a sufficient patrol to ex tinguish fires set by locomotives, and should also be required to burn the slsshlngs at seasonable periods under state supervision. The lumbering In terests in our state ought to be keenly Interested In progressive legislation along this line." FORGERY HOW CHARGE JIOrXTAIX HOME IAXD-FRACD TRIAL TAKES NEW TCRX.

Rip ley, president of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, In an address to night before a mass meeting In his honor, declared "the cry of watered f stock Is today untrue as to most of the railroads of tha country and par ticularly untrue as to the Santa Fe." Discussing the relation between tha railroads and the general public, ha said: "How has the duty of the public to tha railroads been performed, and does the public owe any duties to the rail road? The answer to this question will vary with the views of him who Is asked, but all would probably agree as a general principle that tha publlo owes tha railroad: "First, protection for Its property. "Second, freedom lrom ' interference with Its business methods as long, as they are clean and honest. "This is all we ask. We don't seek to evade legitimate responsibilities. "The people are giving more thought to the railway question now than they ever did before. That is a hopeful sign. When the people give attention to both sides of a problem they become more liberal In their views. Hereto fore only one side of tha railroad ques tion has been exploited and that Is the anti-railroad side. The people, there fore, were prejudiced without any de sire to be prejudiced."

PRESENT LAW IS ENOUGH Colonel Would Substitute Govern ment of "Strong Men" for One of Law, ex-Candidate De clares In Speech. OGDENSBURQ, N. T-, Oct. 27. Judge Alton B. Parker, in his speech here to night, dwelt upon what he styled Col onel Roosevelt's utter disregard for the Constitution and law as exemplified. Mr. Parker said, by his record, his speeches and his remarks during this campaign. Judge Parker having In mind Colonel Roosevelt's present up-state tour, said: "I hxipe the good people of the State of New York still feel able to govern all lta citizens, whether rich or oor; an Its corporations, whether large or small; to exercise all the home rule powers the state possesses, and further, that they will refuse to declare themselves Incom petent to do what their fathers did and expected their descendants to do to the remotest generations. Eaw Gives Way to Men. "Colonel Roosevelt feels that govern ment of laws should give way to govern ment by strong men. so he begins in opi campaign for what he calls New Nationalism, with the executive as the steward of the ptfblic welfare, the Con gress, and the Judiciary as subordinate instead of co-ordinate departments of government and the National Govern ment in possession of the powers now en joyed by the people of the states. "The plea of necessity for this evolu tion he bases In large part upon the failure of the Government, so far, to protect the people from the combinations to restrain trade and to prevent competi tion. He says. no. they have come to stay, and we must have a strong man to regulate them. "Strong; Man"' Gives Example. "May I digress a moment to say that we witnessed what a strong man may do? The Colonel, as President, guve consent to tha absorption of the Ten nessee Coal & Iron Company by the United 8tates Steel Corporation. "In his speech of acceptance In 1904 he demanded more statute law to enable him to reach these trusts and great railroad corporations. The records of the Attorney-General's office prove that we did have law enough. Again, being Informed by the Supreme Court that the Sherman anti-trust act Is a criminal statute, he chose not to enforce It. but to bring spectacular civil suits Instead. "To relieve himself from public cen sure, because more organizations to pre vent competition came into existence during his Presidency than at all other times In- the history of the country, he entered upon a tirade against tha courts, which he still continues."
