it without some valuable consideration
For the former there should be adequate
protection against the abuses Of monopoly.
It should be provided, for instance, that
every car shall have conductor for the pro-
lection Of the public, and that every
passenger shall be entitled to seat for his
fare. The owners Of the property should
likewise be relieved from the tax Of periodical
repaving. As the horse-railway would oc-
cupy the centre Of the street, it would throw
the other travel on either side, and the pave
ment on both sides the track would wear out
Just twice as soon as II there were no horse
railway there. It would be manifest in
justice to ask the property holders to repave
twice as often as they otherwise would for
the special benefit of corporation enjoying
SO valuable franchise. Il there is to be
horse railway, and without any reference to
the parties who secure the right-of-way, let
lis have these safeguards against abuse. And
whether there is to be horse-railway or not,
it is in the interest Of the property owners
on Wabash avenue, and OF the city generally,
that this handsome thoroughfnre shall be put
into decent condition at once between Con-
gress street and Twenty-ninth.

Chicago can congratulate herself that she
is the first American city to support course
of frst-class lectures on the peoples holy day
which opened its first course last spring, in a
small, cheerless hall on the Vest Side, has
had q career of substantial success. It was
organized by three or four persons for the
benefit Of the community, and the commu-
nifty has naturally allowed the organ
izers to control it and make up
its deficits. If q man wishes to be
thoroughly let alone, all bio needs to do is to
play philanthropist. However, the deficits
have not been large, aud they ceased to exist
at all some time ago. About dozen lectures
were given in the spring to audiencesranging
in number from GO to $50. The second
course was opened this fall, IN the Grand
Opera-House (Kingsbury HalD. The audi
ences have been from $50 to 1000 strong.
The average has been over GOO. Tho lecturers
SO far have been Prof. Nathan Sheppard, the
Rev. Robert Collyer, Prof. Colbert, Mr. H.
". S. Cleveland, aud the Rev. DR., Thomas.
The variety of subjects has been great, even in
such small number. The gentlemen named
spoke, respectively, on Physical Piety,"
Moon," 81 Our Streets" and The Agencies
which Control Society,"" Still another chord
is to be struck to-day in lecture by Prof.
Mathews, on "The Mock-Pearls OF His
tory" The course is to be continued through
the winter. Lectures will be given by most
of our prominent speakers as well as by gen.
tlemen from the East and Europe. A feature
OF the course which will be of especial inter-
est to Chicagoans is the promised delivery of
two or three lectures by early settlers here
on Primitive Chicago.
The Sunday Lecture Society may now be
considered as firmly established Its audi
ences are large, and it is paying its way. It
is doing the latter, despite tile facts that its
admission fee 10 cents) is. .ridiculously low,
and that its expenses for advertising, hall
rent, and services of lecturers, are heavy.
The offer of its present quarters without
charge has been withdrawn, and the Society
is now forced to spend good part of its re-
ceipts in order to secure place OF meeting.
While it asks for the services of res
ident lecturers, it is its custom to pre-
sent each speaker with as large an honorarium
as its exchequer will allow. No person con-
nected with its management receives cent
from it in any way whatever. The charge
for admission has been fixed at figure which
will just cover expenses aud do nothing more.
There is no charity. about the enterprise. It
simply aims to provide the public with first
class lectures at cost. The Society has been
Incorporated under the laws Of Illinois, and
is, therefore, prepared at present to receive
legaeies of any amount It deserves a per-

THE CONDITION OF WABASH AVENUE.

THE CONDITION OF WABASH AVENUE,
The present condition of Wabash avenue il
disgrace to the city, in the first place in
the second, it is the cause of infinite annoy
ance and delay to the thousands of people
who are obliged to travel over it twice day.
It is now the main artery Of travel in the
South Division but it is SO frightfully torn
up that it is torture to man and beast, and m
enormous expense in the wear-and-tear on
wagons, carriages, and stages. Some
thing ought to be done about it.
There are two great drawbacks to
its immediate improvement. A large
amount Of the property fronting on the ave-
nue. has no present salable value. Much OF
1t remains unimproved since the fire the
buslness-houses which have been erected in
portions Of it aro untenanted; the residences
north OF Twenty-sscond street, occupied By
business within year or two after the fire of
1871, are now undesirable. As the expense
Of repaving the street would have to be borne
By the owners of the adjoining property,
they are naturally indisposed to incur this
outlay at time when their property is earning
little or no money. Another reason alleged for
enon-improvementis is the prospect of ahorss-
railway. Whoever obtains the r;sht-of-way
for horse -raiIroad on Wabash avenue. if it
is to be ceded, should be made to assume the
expenses Of keeping the entire street in per-
feet repair. This right-of-way is valuable
franchise, and neither the people at larRe
nor the owners OF the Wabash ave.
nue. property should be asked to oede

,nent endowment. and will doubtless get it

manent endowment, and will doubtless get it
ere long.
It should be remembered that the Sunday-
Lecture Society is emphatically not an irre-
1ieious organization. The names Of its hon.
orarv officials would forbid such belief, if =
better proof of its ain were not given by its
practice. It hns fixed the hour of its lectures
at q time when church attendance will not be
interfered with by the possibly superior at
fractions of the Grand Opera-House. It does
not furnish sermons to its auditors, because
they can hear them elsewhere without paying
anything for tho privilege, but neither
does it provide thinly disguised rationalism
and infidelity. It neither attacks nor defends
religion, leaving both these functions to filter
hands. It breaches knowledge, not faith.
It aims to put literary, artistic, historical, and
scientific facts within the reach of everybody
in Chicago. Itopens the doors of its lecture
room on Sunday simply because that is the
one day on which the multitude have leisure
to learn. Its course has been wisely conserv-
alive. It has done solid good. We are glad
to know that it has met with the support and
the success which it deserves.

TIE CONSUMPTION OF WOOD.

Two years ago, England was i'll panic
over the idea of exhausting her coal-supply.
The economists chanted jeremiads over the
bad time coming, until the gcologists showed
that the coal-seans known to exist would
meet all demands for l,o27 years, months,
8 1-2 days, or thereabouts,' provided the coal
could be mined. The more mournful
Britons have since wasted some time in conf
1niserating the woes of their descendants in
the year 5000, which is the date fixed for the
failure of the coal-beds, as aforesaid Most
of the present generation, however, are philo-
sophical A1icawbers, who believe that
something will turn up before the world
reaches that age, and that at any rate there is
no use in grieving over inevitable suffering as
long as somebody else is to be the sufferer.
Now thnt England has got over her scare, We
are beginning to have ours. She was troubled
about coal we are bothered about wood.
We burn an enormous quantity of it. It is
said by statisticians that 10 600 acres of forest
go into the furnaces and stoves of this city
every year. Many other acres Of forest are
used here annually for fuel in another and an
indirect way by the erection OF squares Of
wooden buildings, which serve as the prey Of
the first chance spark that has q southwest
wind to fnn it into flame. The fencing of
the country represents miles of forest The
sleepers, bridges, and rolhng-stock of our
railroads keep axes at work forever The
supply of our furniture involves an enor-
nous demand on our forests. 1t is cal
culated that 100000 acres Of forcst-land
are cleared every year, and that only 10, COO
acres nre planted Within tho last decade,
IL, 2,000, 600 acres hare been burned over
simply to clear the land. In Wisconsin alone,
the Kansas and Nebraska trade takes the
growth of SO, boo virgin acres every year. In
one notable year, Wisconsin cut billion feet
OF timber Some figures of the lumber trade
in this city will give the reader an
idea of the enormous consumption Of
wood that goes on without let or stny.
The Lumberman's Directory for 1915 snys
that the trade here annually handle 1885,
600, 900 feet Of lumber, shingles, and lath.
This aggregate, enormous as it seems, is but
tenth of the annual consumption of the
country. The Chicago capital used in the
trnde is nearly $33, ,000,0 900. The compiler of
the Directory thinks that there is no dnn-
ger of a timber-famine, but the fig
ures We have already given show that,
unless the present ratio Of consumption
to production is materially changed, 4he
famine is mere question Of .1me.
Two causes, peculiar to this county, in
crease the consumption Of our own wood |
