HERE seems good reason to hope that the State forests will be} T saved from the designs of lumber and development interests. The Committee on Conservation will report to the onl stitutional Convention in favor of retaining the provision of the pros-| ent Constitution which says that all lands now owned or hereafter | aoguired by the State within the forest preserve as now constituted} hall forever bo kept as wild forest. ‘I'he committee favors making the Conservation Commission a constitutional department with a single head appointed by the Governor. Tho State’s natural woodlands have needed vigilant defense. | How vigilant is shown by a tendency to construe the present section of the Constitution as forbidding even the cutting of dead timber or | tho removal of fallen treos. It is believed that this restriction can, safdy be removed. _ More and moro the people of the State grow to value tho beauty of its native wilds. Public sentiment becomes their trustiest guard. If the Convention adopts the present plan they will be regarded, from a utilitarian point of view, only as possible water supply areas—par- tiov\arly the Adirondacks—for this or other cities. Otherwise they | will be preserved like parke, with only the removal of dead wood to aid Nature’s clean-up. J $= THE HART’S ISLAND INVESTIGATION. T IS to be regretted that Miss Katherine B. Davis, Commissioner ] of Correction, should see fit to display so much resentment at @ Grand Jury investigation into the state of discipline at the Hart's Island House of Refuge, where forty-six young dope fiends polsoned themselves last Sunday with a concoction of drugs stolen from the infirmary. Because they were addicted to drugs these boys should have been | under special watch. Conditions which made it easy for several of | them to break into“a medicine chest, grab what they found and dis- tribute it to their companions, surely need looking into. | “If the District Attorney and the Grand Jury want to look up -) every little case that comes up in the local penal institutions,” Com- missioner Davis is quoted as saying, “they can do so for all I care, ‘but I shall not permit any of the employees to go to him with com- plaints unless I have been consulted.” ‘The case is rather more than a little one. Why should a Com- | missioner of Correction, whose administrative zeal is proven, show! pettish annoyance instead of welcome toward any co-operation seeking | to increase the efficiency of a public institution? | | ————+¢2——— | —~ HIS summer two thousand college men are expected to attend | _ SUMMER SCHOOLS OF SOLDIERING. the college military camps, the largest of which is at Platts- T burg, N.

A peg of white wood, or what had once been white, about four inches long made a handle to the strange affair, and by its aid Mr. Jarr had de- tached the mysterious object from typ upholstery of the sofa, “Oh, dear!” said “Mrs, Jarr, regard- ing it in @ most melancholy manner. it's candy, I can't send the children to the store for groceries but what they keep a penny or two from the change and buy that stuff.
