on his own fault no return whatever Is

plains that altho in the last confessional
elections the people of the northwest were
promised tariff revision, it is now put
over until after the elections of 1904. The
Signal might also note that Mr.. Tawney
opposes even reciprocity with Canada and
rides himself on the fact that he was re-
sponsible for the omission by the last
congress of an appropriation for the ex-
penses Of a meeting Of the joint high COM
mission. Mr.. Tawney is not so much of a
tariff reformer now as he was last sum-
mer when his seat seemed to be in dam

A Forestry Mistake.

PROFESSOR Fernow, formerly chief Of the
bureau Of forestry of the agricultural
department, and now dean of the Cornell
school of forestry has made an almost
incredible mistake in handling the 10000
acres granted to Cornell by the state OF
New York for forestry purposes. When
the grant was made it was expected that
Professor Fernow would take hold of the
tract and administer 1t on a practical
forestry basis, maintaining the forests as
whole, but at the same time conduct
strange to relate, when this accomplished
forester came to his work he discovered
that it would be cheaper to denude Sec
ton at a time and replant it instead of
removing only the ripe lumber. The con-
sequence is that the forestry grant has
had just the result it was intended to
provide against. Professor Fernow has
denuded Of it's timber growth a large
part Of the states lands, and has done lit
tie more than the ordinary lumberman
does except that he has replanted. In
fifty to eighty years, it is true, there will
probably be fine forests on these replanted
tracts and Professor Fernow will postum
mously have demonstrated what is already
known, viz, that new forest can be grown
on denuded land. ..... .-
If Professor Fernow had been Of Ameri-
can birth and training instead Of Ger
man, he would never have made this mis-
take. He would have understood the
Awe rio =
would have so conducted his forestry ex-
periments as to make them of some value
to men now living, over and beyond wha
their destruction realizes in lumber He
would have made the most of the existing
forest, caring for it, protecting it and
stead of that he has done on the public
lands just what the lumbermen are doing
on private lands; he has slashed down
everything in sight, ripe unripe. If
these had not been lands once cut over
it would be possible to understand, as
areas there might be only ripe tim
Der, which from an economic standpoint
was uselessly encumberlngs the grounN
since with the passage of time it dete-
riorates its value, but Professor Fernow
has apparently destroyed alike young and
old tree growths.
A mistake of this kind does incalculable
harm to the forestry movement in
America. It lends force to the arguments
Of the lumbermen that the forester is
nothing but an impractical theorist, tho
the trouble with Professor Fernow is that
he has been altogether too practical, If
we assume that practically is a matter
of dollars and cents. He wished ultimate
ly to create a fine forest, and he found
that the cheapest way to do it was to
destroy the existing forests. This would
be practical enough on German baronia1
estate, but it will hardly do even on pri-
vate lands in America at this time, and
not at all on public lands. The forests
have other economic uses than the pro-
duction of ripe lumber. and they also
have aesthetic and sanitary uses that
must be taken into consideration in their
public management.

The Granite Falls Journal complains be-
cause the Catholics are to be allowed to
erect building on the campus for the
benefit Of Catholic students at the state
university. AS there is already one build

the line can not be drawn against others
The, better way would have been to have
kept all buildings for religious purposes
off the campus. Absolute separation Of
state and church is the only way to avoid
trouble.

A young man went all the way from
Neodesha, Kan, to Joplin, Mo-, few
days ago to meet a young woman. They
had never seen each other, but had be-
come acquainted thru mutual friends and
corresponded. She wrote him to meet
him on a certain corner and say, .IIello,
sweetheart, when girl wearing a white
waist, black skirt and red carnation came
along. He obeyed orders, but it happened
to be the wrong girl, and when She told
her steady he hunted up the man from
Neodesha and SO completely worked him
over that his mother wouldn't have known
him.

depends in the last resort on individual
character" No system no machinery of
administration can save the nation that is
lacking in men who will do right, be the
consequences what they may. Somewhere
there is a point where all depends on one
man who does right when he has the
power to do wrong. Observe this weighty
sentence: "All elections depend on this
principle In the end you must somewhere
come to the point where the sense Of pub
lie duty Is stronger than any party spirit,
or your election is but sort Of lighting,
or a sort Of cheating"
1t may well be questioned whether
our universities are building up character
as they should. Character cannot be built
up by mere study under mere instructors
1t Is really more important that profess
sor should be a strong and noble man than
the leader in his specialists It is here,
we fear, that our modern universities are
falling short. Their professors tend to be-
come mere experts, lacking in broad hui
man culture and interest, mere diggers
for facts instead of the opponents and ex-
emplars of character.

The Nut Grower, published at Pouan.
Ca, makes the valuable suggestion that
in growing tree crops the nut producing
trees should be favored The Nut Grower
points out that such trees as the hickory,
walnut and chestnut, which are extremely
valuable for their lumber are also apable
of producing valuable annual nut crops.
Thus the planter who grows a forest of
these trees will have something for him
self while they are growing, as well as
leave heritage of valuable timber to his
children This suggestion supplies one Of
the great inducements lacking III forestry
as a business. and that is that where
there is no existing forest to begin with,
there is little hope of returns to the gener-
alton that begins the work.
