The rapidity with which our vast timber resorce* are disappearing by reason of legitimate pursuits— he. manufacture of lumber for building purposes—is in itself sufficient to ultimately precipitate famine conditions, in the absence of a -system of reforestra- tion; and when the terrific loss by forest fires is add ed to this, the process of dissipation is quickened to Br degree that challenges the sober consideration of all good citizens. In Georgia alone, it is estimated that one million dollars worth of timber is destroyed annually by preventable forest fires. Add to this, several million dollars-more of timber that ’is con verted into lupiber, and it can be readily seen that, unless something is done, it will not be many more years before the 33,000 Georgia families who are dep endent upon the lumber industry for a-livelihood, will be emigrating to other parts, not to mention the serious problem of a lumber shortage that the state will have to solve. .lit is difficult to arouse public concern in a matter, such as this, until they begin to feel the actual pinch, but in the case of our fast disappearing forests, the applicaion of remedial measures after the pinch is felt will require a generation to improve conditions. The time for action is the present Steps in the right direction have been taken in the employment by the . state of a forest Conservation agent, Mr. Solon L. r Parkes, and plans are now being made to obtain en actment by the next general Assembly of legislation ttyit is designed to at least reduce destruction by for- . l.-est fires to a minimum. The Georgia Forestry Asso- ~ _ ciation, the D. A. R. and other organizations are actively engaged in a campaign of education along conservation lines, and it is to be hoped that when the -Legislature meets, this question will recieve the at tention which its importance entitles it to. jv. ™E NEXT PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN -‘ .ii W th Con 8T ess nearing the end of the session, the next national election begins to loom on the political horizon. There are two outstanding facts which are seen in this situation; one is that President Harding is certain to be the Republican candidate to succc'd himself, and the other i» that the Democrats, feeling assured of the election of their candidate, are now beginning to consider seriously the choice of a man to beat Harding. They realize that Harding is the only logical man for the place, and that he must remain iheir standard-bearer, or go down with his party. Swapping horses crossing a stream at this stage of .the ,game t would simply mean suicide. The public Jas already got a line on Harding and hi* pet moves, ana consequently the Democrats must furnish the in teresting, figures and activities of the .campaign. -William Gibbs McAdoo is now holding the center W-tue stage. McAdoo is no eleventh hour man. He fS as busy as a bee in a tar-bucket and his friends are legion, and they are recruiting every day. .there are a thousand and one things to be done, -II Meoking towards securing delegates to the nominat ing convention.

Either one will adorn the presidential office and so admin- , ffrter the affairs of Government that the people o’f the whole country will be proud of them.
