All the main questions arising out of
the general forestry problem are dis
cussed, or at least touched upon, in the
report of the Secretary of Agriculture
on the southern Appalachian and White
Mountain watersheds. The report was
made for the purpose of informing Con
gress as to the advisability of purchas
ing and setting aside the regions men
tioned as national forest reserves.
Whatever Congress may do in the mat
ter, the reiwt and all kindred discus
sion of forests have great value in edu
cating the country. On the proper care
of forests In public and private hands
depends primarily the supply of lumber
for all future time. ■ The Insistence of
experts on this point ha» stimulated In
tereats In scientific cutting, the treat
ment of land which has t*en cut over,
the protection of standing wool and
young growth from fire. More than
this, we have learned the value of trees
In preventing the washing away of val
uable soil and the consequent clogging
of watercourses. Without trees the
rains wear the land down to the bone;
the melting snows run unchecked in
the spring and cause destructive
floods; streams which furnish power to
mills cannot have a regular flow, and
reservoirs for public water supply can
not be maintained. Moreover, entomol
ogists tell us that a rapid diminution
of forest trees In any region destroys
the balance between tree life and the
Insect life that preys upon It, and so
Increases the burden on fruit and
shade trees. The problem thus affects
not only the lumberman and the Indus
tries that depend on wood, but the
whole community. Nature hns estab
lished a relation between the forests of
the North and the water that flows by
New Orleans. Knowledge of this rela
tion la a bond between the states be
yond the power of politics to make or
break. The public is becoming educated
In the science of fonstry and In the
greater science of mutual dependence
and responsibility.

MUCH WORK, MANY IDLERS.
1JE recent great increas. lit the number of
unemployed able-liodied men and the simul
taneous cry from the farm districts for
more help draw sharp attention to an In
congruous condition. The problem of in
ducing able-bodied men to remitin upon or
return to the farms is one that becomes
moi'e difficult, and yet more insistent, every day. It must
be solved, somehow, if the prosperity of the country Is
to continue It is little wonder that the President and
his cabinet are forced to consider the subject, with a
View 'to lending federal assistance in disposing of It.
It would be poor bpsines» policy, and worse charity,
to feed the "army of unemployed" in the large cities
while the farms are lacking laborers. If any among the
unemployed .are sick, or unable to stand the strain of
hard work, let other provision be made for them; but
there Is no excuse for the encouragement of Idleness and
vice by feeding able-bodied fellows who will not go Into
the country. Any uneniplo.v«!, able-bodied man who re
fuses an opportunity to go Into the country to work, pre
ferring to bask In the bright light of the city, should
be convicted as a vagrant and made to build roads.—

PUBLIC SHOOL BUILDINGS.
INCE the terrible Collinwood catastrophe
testimony Is piling up to show that the de
plorable conditions existing In that ill-fat«!
School building prevail In many conimuul-
ties and that little or no effort has been
made to Improve them. But the frightful
sacrifice of young lives has stirred the au
thorlties to action, and. goaded by public sentiment, they
are now strenuously seeking to remove the defects and
minimize the dangers from fires.
Rlehar.l L.'Humphrey, engineer in charge of the struc
tural materials laboratories of the government, declares
it Is providential that more of these holocnusts have
not occurred. He says the conditions existing In th«» Col
linwood school building are common to many public
buildings throughout tlie country, and the first essential
is to pass laws ptohibiting the erection of structures ex
cept of the highest fire-resisting type. Drills in public
schools are all right in their way, to teach self-control,
but are quite useless in a great emergency. And the
mere enactment of preventive laws is of no avail unless
the people demand their enforcement.’

FARMS AND THE UNEMPLOYED. .
HERE is no reason why any- man In ths
United States should starve, or even why
any man should be out of employment, no
matter what the conditions of business.
Iu Louisiana, for example, there are 27,-
000,000 acres of land, of which only 6,000,-
000 are cultivated.
Planters with large
tracts stand rea«1y to aid every man who Is willing to
help himself, They will sell him all the land he needs
on ten years’ credit, or will allow him to farm on shares,
providing him with a house, a horse and a mule, suffi-
cient ae«I to plant crops, and provide farming Imple-
luents:
Yet -with the whole country full of such opportunities,
large cities swarm with men who complain that they
cannot get work, and municipalities are at their wits’
end to find some way to help the unemployed. The farms
of the nation contain the only solution of this problem.

UR annexation of Hawaii, our development

ability of developing our coast defenses and

of making that finest natural harbor in

war. Its value to commerce would be great. Its value
in war would be inestimable, and It would, as has well
been suggest«! In Congress, be one of the strongest pos-
sible factors for the prevention of war in the Pacific
Ocean. After nil these years of neglect and in view of
