DESTRUCTION OF FORESTS.

Those who are studying the impor-
tant subject of deforestation in the
United States note that pine and cedar
trees are rapidly being consumed for
the purpose of supplying trolley and
telegraph poles, and at the present
rate of consumption it will not be a
great while before the visible supply
will be exhausted. The foresters look to
satalpa to fill the place of pine and
cedar in this particular The catalpa
hoTishes in great many places in
this country and has the advantage of
growing very straight, and attains the
needed size in from sixteen to eight
cen years. The time required for
cedar and pine is more than double
this.
Someone in discussing the matter
declares that the Egyptians would not
have built such magnificent structures
of brick and stone if wood had been
plentiful. The professional eptimist
may find in this statement some con-
ISOLATION for the passing of the material
which has made possible the comforta-
BILE housing of many persons of moder--
ate means. Unfortunately, anumber of
thrifty and deserving persons are una
BILE to erect stone and brick and mar
BILE palaces, and to these the cheaper
product of the forest has been q boon.
No doubt coming generations will be
largely composed of similar class,
and the deforestation crimes of the
present generation will fall with terri.
BILE effect upon generations yet an
horn. It has passed into an axiom
that the nations which house their no
bles in marble palaces house their peas
ants in mud novels. The disappear
ance of timber as a building commOdi-
BY might produce such conditions in
America.

A CORPORATION LEvIATHAN.

Minneapolis Journal, The detail
ed report OF the United States Steel
corporation for 1902 is enough to
cause eyes to open wide in amaze
ment. 1t is necessary to make some
comparisons to grasp the greatness
of this gigantic industrial organiza-
ton.
Its total assets are put down at ST.
$4,000 900, Or nearly twice the as
sessed valuation of the entire state
Of Minnesota and about four times
the capitalization of the Northern &c.
curities company. The total capitali-
zation is 81, 39O ,OOO, 900, of which $780,
100000 is commonly counted water.
It's gross receipts were $780, OO, 900,
or almost exactly the same as those
Of the federal government, and more
than ten times those OF the Dominion
OF Canada. Except the United States,
no government in the world has re-
ceipts as large as those OF this single
corporation.
Its net earnings alone were $780,
100000, or nor than seven times the
entire amount of money raised by
taxation within the limits of Min
nesota for every purpose.
The dividends, $50, 100000, are
greater than the entire import trade
of the republic of Mexico, and greater
than the entire revenues of Canada.
Its treasury surplus is greater than
that of any other nation in the world
except the United States.
1t spends yearly in ordinary main
tenance and repairs almost as much
as the United States navy department
spends in the same time on new war
ships.
1t employs 168, 600 persons, or about
three times as large a force as the
United States army.
Altogether it has $4,000 stockhold-
ers. and the number, fortunately, is
steadily growing.
The total OF wages and salaries is
only $13, 0O0, 900 less than the net
earnings, but is more than twice the
amount distributed in dividends to
capital.
The company is to be commended
for it's readiness to spread informa-
ton concerning it's business before
the public.

CURB ON SPEECH MAKING.

New York Mail and Express: 1t
seems that the time has come when
Americans occupying public or quasi
public positions ought to be relied
upon if not to act wisely on all occa-
sions, at least to refrain from talking
fOOlishly when it is not necessary to
talk at all. There are too many
speeches delivered in congress with
the idea OF telling kings, kaiser, czar
or foreign president that we Ameri-
cans have no s for any rulers ex-
cept u W particular brand. There
are too many impertinent resolutions
issuing from legislatures or alder
manic chambers informing outland
parliaments that they are not treating
their W peoples al they should. We
should spare some of the grandiose
newspaper calculations as to the sort
of havoc our volunteer soldiers would
make of the %conscripts OF the dual or
triple alliance after we had armed,
equipped and trained them. We could
yer spare a few of the odious inter-
national comparisons as to armament
and military effectiveness emanating

zled war veterans of ours-men, to

OLD TRAIT REVIVED.

Leslie's Weekly: The Spanish war
OF 1898, supplemented by the Vene-
zuelan episode OF 19O2-19O3, has incit-
ed outbursts of spread-eagleism in the
United States which are seen to be
absurd when put to the test OF facts.
This, however, is only a revival of an
old American trait. Before the revO-
luton, when he was a loyal subject
OF George III, Benjamin Franklin told
the house OF commons that America
was doubling in population every
quarter OF a century, and that it was
destined to- keep up this rate of
growth to an indefinite period in the.
future. Ii that forecast had turned
out to be correct we would have had
in the neighbOrhood of 100, O0O, 900 peo-
pie in 1900, instead of 10000, 600 which
Census Director Merriam's assistants
found here. Jefferson, early in his
presidency, figured that the country
would have $4,000, 900 inhabitants by
1875, but it had only "A, 1000, 900. Lin
coin said during the civil wal that if
the union was preserved there would
be 125, 000, 600 Americans by 1900,
which, as we see, was a long way
from the mark.
We have been marvelously fortunate
in the character of our foreign enc
mies-diminutive and civil-war-dis-
tracted Mexico and dying Spain-in
the last two-thirds of a century. Our
easy victories may have given us false
ideas OF our power. We have main
tanned the Monroe doctrine thus far
successfully. But Germany is in
~creasing its colonies in Brazil and
ether South American countries. It's
:lavy, slightly larger thar ours, is in
creasing at a much faster rate than
ours. 1t is believed to be the kaiser's
.irtention to ultimately put the Mon
roe doctrine to the test of war, and
when his naval programme is carried
out, a few years hence, he can easily
find a pretext in the volcanic politics
OF South America for the invasion of
that section for the protection OF his
subjects.

POWER OF PREJUDICE.

1t is possible that those who believe
in the efficacy OF vaccination as a
preventative OF that disease may re-
gard the death from smallpox of the
secretary of the characterization lea
que of Minneapolis as a sample of
%retributive justice, and say that it
served him right. They may argue
that he was a double offender because
he not only refused to permit himself
to be vaccinated, but also sought
through the power and influence of
an organization to create a prejudice
in the minds OF others against what
they regard as al absolute deterrent
