brother Is that the darker little sav
age has no cradle, crib or go-cart to
uport and gambol In, but' In either
packed tightly In a basket or strapped
to a board. In this position he finds

exercise and his enforced repose de

So, the etolcisin and the taciturnity
of the Indian are nurtured in early
youth, though of course one reason for
the Indian's lack of fluency In speech
is that in his life and thought he has
not the need of many words. The
primitive white man was not voluble.

attitude of that nation In her future
industrial and commercial life. Mr.
Illokl lays sHclal emphasis upon the
frank mid authoritative disavowals of
the frequently-reported ambition of
Japan to absorb the Philippine Islands
for her own people.
"For the sake of argument." said
Mr. Illokl, "laying aside entirely lor
the moment consideration of the mo
tive of Japan regarding the present
subject, let me ask you a question.
Can you lelleve that this great Amer
ican people who glory in their national
spirit in their gigantic strength. In

with proud and confident anticipation
to the time when they shall lie the

No, most emphatically no. J hat is

Miph who respect honor und Justice.
' Would Mean Gigantic War.
'And who can Is-tter understand
that spirit of the Americans than the
Japanese? Therefore, If Japan lmr
Isired such a sinister design as Is at
tributed to her, she must be prepared
to plunge lu n war far more gigantic
than the one Just ended against a na
tion to which she owes much that
she Is to-day and to whose people she
owes that moral nnd financial support
so unreservedly given at the most
critical period in her history. No,

ritlce of such a valuable friendship ns
Hint of America and the enormous
losses in men and money which such
a war would necessarily entail. .Nor
Is Japan in a position to carry on an
other costly war, but for self-defense.
For Open Door In China.
"The Increased prestige of Japan
turned the eyes of the world toward
the problem of what influence Japan
will wield over China. Home people
go so rnr ns to assert unit Japan
will control China, proclaim the Mon
roe doctrine for Asia, and drive out
from the Fast ull the white devils
and exterminate the Western influ
ences within its liorders.
"Without questioning either the
value of the principles contained in
the no-called Monroe doctrine or Its
applicability to the Fusteru situation
at present, I can simply sny that such
an idea has not entered Into the Japa
nese mind and such a policy lias not
seen even the symptoms of formation.
For tho maintenance of tho integrity
and Independence of China, Japan
Joined hands with Great Britain. For
securing equal opportunities in China,
Japan lent her eager efforts to the
United States to make the open door
policy effectively operative.
Competition with America.
"It Is absurd," continued Mr. Illokl,
"to say that in the course of n few
years American goods will be crowded
out of the Chinese market by Japa
nese competition. The main ground
upon which rests this apprehension is
that Japan lias cheap labor at com
nand. Hut labor In Japan does not
remain cheap. The effect of the Chi
na-Japan war was to double the
price of labor, nnd the war with Hus
sia must raise it much higher. In
spite of these disadvantages Japan
must develop her commerce und indus
try, and she will have to coiiijs'te
wltli nil the world, friend or foe. Her
commercial war will bo fought Just
as fairly nnd squarely us the real war
She asks no favor from China that Is
not granted to the entire world. She
stands for the open door and. In the
words of your greut Presldeut, a
square deal."
American Capital Welcomed.
"Japan welcomes capital nnd mater
ial from iiuy country. The Vulted
States Is supplying materials for Im
portant Japanese industries; why can
not she supply the capital? Why can
there not bo a commercial alliance be

set on foot similar to that so fortu
nately carried out in the high Sierras
of the west by the national govern
ment. All the higher Appluchians
should be reserved, either by the
states or by the nation. I much pre
fer that they should be put uuder na
tional control, but it is a mere truism
to say that they will not be reserved
either by Mie states or by the nation
unless you people of tlie South show
ti strong interest therein.
Would Prevent Floods ard Create
Water Power.
"Such reserves would be a paying
investment, not only in protection to
many interests, but in dollars and
cents to the government. The im
portance to the soutuern people of
protecting the southern mountain for
ests is obvious. These forests are
the best defense against the floods
which, in the recent past, have, during
a single twelfth-month, destroyed
projierty officially valued at nearly
twice what it would cost to buy the
Soirt Item Appalachian reserve.
"The maintenance of your southern
water powers is not less important
than the prevention of floods, because
if they are injured your manufactur
ing iuierests witl suffer with them.
'li:e lieriH'tiBition of your forests,
which have done so much for the
South, should be one of the first ob
jects of your public men. The two
senators from North Carolina have
taken an honorable part in this move
ment. But I do not think that the
Iieople of North Carolina, or of any
other southern state, have quite grasp
ed the importance of this movement
to the commercial development aud
prosperity of the south."
The President's Message to
Congress.
The special message sent to Con
press by the President on the South
ern Appalachian Heserve reads like a
story. It touches upon the interest in
tlie subject of the scientists and the
lumberman, of the geologist and the
farmer, the meteorologist and the
fruit grower, the business man and
the engineer, and the steamship pilot
and tlie honieseeker. The President
transmits with his message a report
of the Secretary of Agriculture, pre
pared In collaboration with the De
partment of the Interior, upon tho
forests, rivers and mountains of the
Southern Appalachian region, and up
on its agricultural situation as affect
ed by them, and says In part: .
The report of the Secretary pro
scuts the tlnal results of an investiga
tion authorized by the last Congress.
Its conclusions point unmistakably, in
the judgment of the Secretary and in
my owu, to the creation of a national
forest reserve in certain purts of the
Southern States. The facts set forth
un economic need of prime imiiortance
to the welfare of the South, and hence
to that of the nation as a whole, and.
