ward, and Prof. Edwin 2 A. seligman. OF
Columbian.
Prof. Lowell Introduced.
The meeting was opened by Hon. Martin
A Knapp. who presided. After a few re-
marks he introduced Prof Lowell, who
delivered an eloquent address on Party
Legislation in Parliament. in Congress.
and in the State Legislatures"
He traced the influence of parties in
those governing bodies, particularly con-
trasting party Iolicy and action in the
English Parliament and in the Congress
of the United States. In America, he said,
at issue. while this is not so in England
Prof. Harry Pratt Judson followed with
humorous discussion Of Prof LowelIs
address.
Economists New President.
Mr.. Knapp then introduced Prof. Edwin
X. a. seligman. president elect of the
American Economic Association. who read
an exhaustive paper on Historical Ma
teriaIism and the Economic Interpreta-
tion Of History" He sought TO discourage
the doctrine that economic causes are re
sponsible for changes in social conditions.
lie stated that the doctrine Is fatalistfc
and that it overlooks the Importance Of
mans ability to rise above his surround
ings. He also discussed the objection that
It Is socialistic. taking up the criti-
cism that it neglected the ethical and
spiritual phases of society. These objec
tiOns he considered well founded
Conditions Too Competitive.
His conclusion. however. was that in
view of the facts concerning the human
struggle for existence. social and eco
nomic conditions have become competi-
tiye.

A number of petitions have been

forest reserve, Colorado. This timber
is represented to have been killed by
n forest fire, several years ago. Inns-
much rs 1t appears to be rapidly de-

Is menace to the surrounding timber,
1t Is thought best to encourage Its dis
posal, as Its removal will tend to pro-
mote the better growth of surround
Ing trees. For these reasons Commits
sioner Hermann has directed that such
portions as are sound enough for COM
mercial purpose shall Ike sold, without
advertisement, for one dollar per thou
sand feet, and that such timber as is
useful for firewood shall be sold for
10 cents per cord The distance from
market and inaccessibility of the tim.
ber is taken into consideration In fix
Ing these prices. There Is over $4,000
feet Of burned timber, good for luIn-
ber, and many hundreds OF cords Of
firewood. Each purchaser will be lin
tied to 100 cords of firewood.
