ROW DOES HE Do ITs

Commissioner Woodbury. Of the Street Clean
ing Department is getting to he an interesting
psychological phenomenon. The time was. and
not so very long ago, when the appropriations
he asked for to improve the miserable plant
which Tammany with malice aforethought be
queathed to him were regularly held mp with
an unreHsOning persistence verging on con-
tempt. But now it has come TO pass that he
can get what he wants almost easily as if
he Were q Tammany fayorite, with the organ
ization in power and a noble "rake-Off' in pros
pect. How does he do II? We are quite pre-
pared 10 back up the proposition that DR.. Wood
bury is resolute. inQuisitiye. ingenious. up 10
date tremendous worker, a persuasive talker.
a hard hitter when self-defence is in order, and
by virtue of these gifts and graces. as well as
other endewments and acquisitions, good
street cleaner But such qualities and achieve
ments not always convincing and tri-
umphant when it is question of digging into
the public treasury under reform administra-
ton.
DR. Woodbury. appeared before the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment yesterday with 4
demand for more than half a million dollars
and large map showing what he intended TO
use It for. The chief item was stable and
repair shop in Brooklyn. worthy Of being des-
ignRted as chateau, in the opinion OF Con-
troller GroUt. after an inspection OF the plan.
The Commissioner thought that S39o,oo0 would
be Just about the right sum to expend on the
building. but was willing to pare off $4,000
rather than have any hard feeling on the sub
iect And SO. with that slight reduction, he
got the appropriation through though the Con-
troller was disposed to draw the line at one
point and insist that the stable should get along
without a mansard roof On the face Of it. that
was not ridiculous objection. We do not hold
with some that mansard roof is worse than
no roof at all, though we should feel inclined to
ask in most cases il some DINER architectural
invention would not be preferable: and that we
think is the prevailing disposition of enlight-
ened humanity. But Or. Woodbury's heart was
set on the mansard confection. and he got 1t.
Incidentally. as it were. he Also walked away
with a promise of $4,000 besides for other
requirements of his business in the Borough of
Brooklyn while Little Tim Sullivan, who
happened TO be present. pronounced a eulogy
upon him that was almost embarrassing in its
fervor.
How does he do il: repeat Perhaps he
doesn't know himself But as TO the fact there
cannot be the slightest doubt. Whether natIi-
raj or acquired. Commissioner Woodbury. 3

TRUSTS " GERAANY.

German proposals TO wage tariff war
against American trust-made products ring
strangely hollow by the side of the news that
the German Government has appointed an I'M
periaI commission of inquiry TO investigate the
workings of trusts in that country and TO re-
port what measures if any, are desirable for
their restraint regulation. Readers OF The
Tribune. however. will not be surprised at
this news since have repeatedly pointed out
in these columns that most of the European
countries are ''plastered all over with trusts
just as much as is the United States. 1t is not
at all strange that this is so, especially in Ger
many Away back in the Middle Ages the
seed of such combinations was sown in the
form of industrial and commercial organiza-
tions for the manipulation and control of
prices. These were swept out of existence in
Napoleonic times. But in the present German
Empire they have been recreated and highly
developed, until now they dominate the whole
industrial and commercial situation
The first step toward trusts in Germany was
the formation of cartes combinations for
the regulation of prices. The second step
brought the regulation OF production under tn"
scope Of the cartels' control. The fnal-or at
least the latest-step has been the federation
OF all works in a given industry under q single
management. There is now scarcely an i'm
portant industry in Germany that is not di-
rectly or indirectly under the control of trust
Iron, coal salt. petroleum, alcohol paper. cellu-
lose and chemicals are all in the hands of the
trusts. The results, according to the critics Of
the trusts that prices of commodities in
Guiding the necessaries of life are steadily ris-
ing, that small manufacturers and small deal
ers are being driven out Of business, and that
the trusts selling goods in the foreign mar
ket much cheaper than in the domestic market.

THE PRESIDENTS RETURN.

The Presidents return to Washington after
q record breaking journey is an incident when
interests the whole country. He and all lhe
neonle are to be congratulated on his ARRIVAL
AT the national capital in vigorous health ana
excellent spirits Though he has doubtless been
as well protected as his independent temper
would permit, he has encountered more IMAM
the ordinary risks of travel, and endured some
bardships at remote points from which man
of less robust constitution might well silrlhh-
Indeed, TO great majority of his feiow GU
zens it must be a cause of wonder that the
President has not been exhausted rather IMAM
invigorated by the experiences he mas gone
through. The mere physical effort Whlcn ne
has expended has been enormous, but that was
perhaps the less exacting part of the demand TO
which he joyousy responded, He has MADE
hundreds of speeches. many of which were on
subjects of vital Importance TO the country and
Of considerable length. Moreover, the strain OF
meeting throngS Of people day after day-ol De
ing the centre of excitement ana me OBJECT Oh
eager attentions necessarily such as nardly
one man In million could bear so long mat
Mr. Roosevelt thrives on hard work has become
an axiom. but except for the triumphant demon
stration Just completed it might have-been sup
posed that there was limit even to his powers
OF endurance
President and people are fortunate. not only
because of his safe return in fine physical and
mental condition, but because the journey he
has made has unquestionably heightened his
qualifications for the great Office which he
seems destined to occupy for six years to come
His horizon has been immensely enlarged. He
has acquainted himself by personal observation
with conditions and feelings which were for
merly known to him only through report. He
must have obtained n fuller and clearer con-
ception of the American spirit, of the diverse
propensities and ambitions of vast, COM
posite population, of the material resources of
the nation. and OF the instrumentalities which
are essential TO promote or which threaten to
hinder their development. Such acquisitions Of
knowledge by President who is anxious and
competent TO employ them for the common
good are not the possession of an individual.
but public asset.

TARTEFS AND Or TRADE.

MANY commentators upon Mr.. Chamberlain
tariff plans instinctively jump at the conclu-
sion that tbe imposition of duty upon bread
S-uffs provisions and raw cotton by the United
Kingdom would injure the United States, since
those are our chief exports 10 Great Britain. Ii
is not clear that such would be the case. If. as
is said Great Britain is dependent upon us for
surh supplies. she would have to go right on
getting them from Us, tariff or no tariff and it,
as our free trade friends contend, the consumer
pavs the duty. our export trade ia those articles
would be Just as prosperous as ever Kather
rs Fl q British protective tariff upon manufact-
ures that would hurt us, because il is conceiv-
able that the United Kingdom under such pro-
lection might be able 10 supply its own demand
and thus be independent of us: in which case
we should have 10 sell to the British market at
q reduced rate 10 compete with British goods
This phase of the case is worthy of consider
alton because our exports of manufactures to
The United Kingdom are very large and i'm
rsortant They are not only greater than TO any
other European country, but they are consider
ably more than TO all the rest of Europe put
together and are about one-fourth OF all our
exports OF manufactures to all the world More
over they are steadily increasing at d rapid
rate. That is particularly noteworthy. As we
ave hitherto shown, our sales of breadstuffs,
provisions and cotton TO the United Kingdom
are increasing slowly. if at all Our sales of
manufactures 10 other European countries are
on the whole increasing, but they fuctuate
greatly. and in some cases increase very slowly.
But i'm The case of Great Britain there is little
fuctUation and the increase is rapid. From
1892 to 1901 there was inrariable increase, from
year 10 wear from $4,000, 600 in 1892 to s102,-
100000 in 1901. The only fuctuation in eleven
wears has been decline of 100000 in 1902
compared with 1901
II is 10 be observed, too, that our chief manu-
featured exports TO the United Kingdom are
iron and steel the very things that country
ought 10 be able most fully TO provide for her
steel which send thither yearly might acti-
slly be more 20 our disadvantage than one on
grain or cotton. The next largest item on the
list is that OF leather and leather goods, almost
something which Great Britain might supply
herself with Independently OF us. The third
item petroleum. she must get from this coun-
nv and perhaps also the fourth. copper, though
we are only the largest and by no means the
only or even the only large copper producing
country ia the world Many other OF our manu-
featured exports 10 Great Britain such as
that country is now producing, and such as it
proba bly, could produce in ample quantities for
ITS home supply. 1t would be an interesting

P41LRO4Ds AND FOREST FIRES.

AT this time of drouth there is especial dan
ger TO woods and fields and buildings from the
sparks thrown out by railroad locomotives.
bit of grass set burning along railroad track
and neglected may do vast amount Oh GAM
age Fires of this kind are matter or frequent
experience every summer. and they are more OF
a menace this year than usual on account OF
the remarkably dry season and the tinderike
condition of vegetation over wide area
Under these conditions it is the plain duty OF
all the railroad companies to take unusual pre-
cautions against spreading fire in the regions
through which their roads run. Managers should
give immediate and imperative INSTRUCTIONS "
their station agents section hands, track walk
ers and other employees to watch for fires ana
take PROMPT measures to put them out. Railroad
employees too frequently neglect fires of TINS
kind. thinking they will do no harm and will
soon 90 out of themselves Perhaps this conf
dence has some reasonable foundation part OF
the time. but it has none now. The slightest
spark is likely TO start a fire which may exteno
for miles through timber or over fields II al
lowed any chance to spread at all. 1t might
he wise to order train hands as well as track
hands to watch for fires, and to report at their
first stop any fires that they have passed TO the
proper persons in charge OF the me- tlat
measures may be taken surely and at once TO
extinguish the flames.
The Long Island Railroad runs through much
woodland remote from houses where forest hres
might easily reach dangerous proportions I'M
noticed by farmers and others off the line OF
the track There are serious fires on the island
now. and the Long Island Railroad officials
should take precautions against furthef con-
tributing to the sad destruction. Further from
home, the railroads through the Catskills ana
Adrondacks are a menace even more Serious
for they traverse a less thickly settled country.
One and ALL the railroads should realize their
responsibility and meet it. 1t is not merely
question of their incurring large damages by
carelessness. serious that may be. but OF 90
ing irreparable injury to the whole country
Damages can be paid, houses can be rebuilt but
devastated forests cannot be Tegrown for halr
a century.
