Fernow says, truly, a large part of

tho beginning of tho Christian era Is
now barren, desert and unproductive,
as a result of man's destruction of

but the trusts are prospering right
along and are not the least bit wor
ried.
The machine that controls H is
running smoothly and the trusts have
no reason for" alarm. A certain fac
tlon of the political party in power
nowadays always forms Itself into
machine, gets control, does what it
pleases and all of tho howling in the
world does not affect it. The machine
is composed of shrewd, wealthy, de
signing, conscienceless leaders of the
party and insidiously controls it in
tho face af all opposition, majorities,
honesty and everything else. The
weaker minded leaders, the more sin
cere, the unsuspecting are worked
like oxen and paid but little, though-
they are needed by the machine and
necessary to make It a success.
They love the name of the party
better than all things else; they
know but little about its principles,
its purposes or its workings, but so
long as the "grand old republican
party" is in power all is well, and
with the devotion of the wildest
fanatic they stand by a machine and
sustain it, and support it, and oil it,
and polish It. They are a part of the
rabble; yet they know it not. To
tell them so would insult them. But
they do know that trusts are wrong.
They are told so; they say so them
selves. They also know that the re
publican party can do anything, that
It is all powerful, yet, they do not
know why It does not suppress the
trusts.
That is ..ao machine's business.
Let It keep running. It will run all
right. The "grand old party" always
does things right. You can trust to
It That Is their idea and they do
trust it, and tho machine runs right
along, and the trusts do too, and they
prosper the trusts, in spite of tho
fact that they are universally ad
mitted to be great octopusses sapping
from the people their life-blood, im
poverishing them and dividing tho
country Into classes daily and gradu
ally bringing about a state of affairs
that will cause trouble and serious
trouble some day.
But the machine must run. and the
rabble which condemns It, will con
tinue to sustain It until such a time

SOIL AND WATER.
Dr. Fernow, the forester, and head
of the department of forestry in Cor
nell University, is spreading much
needed information about forests and
tho necessity of their preservation.
In a recent address in the Academy
of Sciences in this city ho stated
clearly the relation between the soil
and water and their prime Importance
to man.
Forests are soil makers and preserv
ers. Their agency in preventing the
flow of water upon the surface by
leading it to penetrate the soil regu
lates the steady flow of streams and
preserves the supply of' springs. Their
action is that of a reservoir for the
mm

K9i
Papers all over the state are still
giving advice In regard to the pay
ment of tho reward to Mrs. Waggoner
for finding Merrill's body and deliver-
conservation of water
uas not left man to depend upon
forests alone as the instrument in
the conservation of water. In the
prairie states of the Upper Missis
sippi Valley this fuction was perform
ed by the sloughs, ponds, marshes
and small lakes which once abounded.
They were suplemented by the natur
al grasses, which formed a turf and
covered the soil.
The moisture for a great part of
that region comeB from the Great
Lakes. When precipitated It ran in
to the sloughs and marshes, ponds
and small lakes, and much of it pene
trated the soil through the sod of the
natural grasses and made affluent
the many springs which existed there
in early times.
Cultivation has destroyed tho na
tural grass and Its sod, and man's
greed for land has drained the ponds,
sloughs and marshes. When these
retained the water It evaporated, sat
urated tho air and supplied the mols
turo for tho summer rains, which dis
tributed it to tho crust of tho earth
for the suport of vegetation and tho
production of crops. Now that the
reservoirs are drained dry, tho local
summer showers are less frequent
and tho crust of the earth is drying
out. Tho clay subsoil is no longer
wet, and capillary attraction no long
er brings up its moisture for the sum
mer crops.
When erratic changes of tempera
ture cause a precipitation of moisture
from tho Great Lakes over that re
gion it causes destructive floods, such
as recently destroyed many millions
In crops and other property in Iowa
and Illinois. The reservoirs aro no
longer there to hold back the water,
nor the natural sod to conduct It Into
the ground, and the rainfall that un
der natural conditions would be lr
flcient becomes destructive. After
this flood has passed it will be found
that tho great rainfall has not pene
trated tho soil nor moistened the
earth's crust.
