THE GROWTH OF SOCIALISM.

At the annual meeting of the Nation
al Association of Manufacturers, held
this year in Atlanta, President Parry
of that association devoted a consider
able part of his remarks to the growth
Of socialism in this country. He COM
mented on its connection with the de-
velopment of trade unionism, but he
very correctly stated that of much
greater significance was the ~socialis-
tic trend in the thought of the people.
Between socialism and the old Amer
lean spirit there is direct conflict. The
institutions Of this country were based
and the thought of the nation has been
developed along the lines and in har-
mony with the principles of individu-
alism. That American sentiment is
undergoing a change is demonstrated
not only by the fact that socialism 10

advocacy Of socialistic policies by mon

Recent events go to show that all is
not lovely with the little towns that
have been adopting municipal owner
ship. In Indiana, for instance. a num-
Der Of them petitioned the recent ses-
sion of the legislature for permission
to dispose of their plants and the ex-
p%erience in some of the larger cities
has gone to show that it has neither
been profitable or desirable for the
cities to own all public utilities. 1t is
a problem that is still to be solved in
America. In Europe some of the larger
cities have OF Grated public utilities in
a profitable manner, but there the
mayor and many of the other officers
are employed in such a way as to make
them not amenable to the will of the
people, but paid officers who are en-
gagged because of their peculiar fitness
for the places. Chicago's experiment
will be watched with great interest.

THRIVES IN
POOR SOIL
lOOGEPClE PINE ONE OF THE
MOST VALUABLE OF TREES
OF ROCKY MOUNTAINS.
Valuable for Railroad Ties and Mine
Props and Noted for Its Ready
Growth and Quick Maturity-ln.er-
esting Bulletin On Subject by the
Bureau Of Forestry,

The lodgepole pine, which is known
in the Sierras of California as tana-
rack pine, and in Colorado and Mon
tana is sometimes called white pine.
jack pine, pinyon, ana scrub pine,
bears the common name of "lodgepole,'
from the fact that the Indians used its
long slender trunks as supports for
their wigwams or lodges. Its geo
graphic range is along the Rocky
mountains from Alaska to New Mexico
and westward to the Pacific coast. In
the United States it is found in mer-
charitable quantity n dimensions on
the spurs and eastern slopes of the
Rocky mountains throughout southern
Montana, Wyoming and Colorado, in
the Bitter Root mountains of Idaho,
the Uintah range in Utah, and in the
Big Horn mountains of Wyoming. The
Bureau of Forestry is studying the
species throughout this range of its
best commercial distribution.
Lodgepole pine grows at all attitudes
between 5000 and 10000 feet above
sea level. In the Gallatin mountains
of Montana and in the mountainous
country south and east of Yellowstone
park it reaches its largest size at ele-
vations between $500 and 5000 feet.
In Colorado, however, towards the
southern limit of its range, the condi-
tons which are necessary to its best
growth are found between 5000 and
10,5OO feet elevation.
Lodgepole pine is valuable, for one
reason, because it grows on high noun
tain slopes, and also on old burns
where other trees find difficulty in
obtaining u foothold. 1t readily adapts
itself to most diverse soil conditions,
but thrives best where there is con
siderable moisture. Its roots accom-
modate themselves to the shallow soil
common in the localities where it
grows. At a very early age this tree
produces cones in large quantities,
and after it Is ten years old the seed
are generally fertile. The cones some
times open and distribute the seeds
as soon as they are ripe, though more
commonly they remain on the trees
for years with their seed carefully pre-.
served beneath the scales. In many
cases squirrels cut off the closed
cones. and hide them away in the
ground. If a fire occurs before the
seeds are eaten it will cause the cones
to open and set them free. As a rule,
however. the cones of many seasons
remain on the trees until a fire comes
along and, by heating them, liberates
the seeds, when a dense growth of
seedlings follows.
In many localities where lodgepole
pine now grows the ground was orig
inally covered with Engelmann spruce
in mixture with red fir and other spe-
cies. Repeated fires laid waste these
forests, and prevented their reproduc-
ton by destroying the seed and the
thick forest floor of decaying leaves

We are glad that Editor Frank S.
Smith of the Lander Clipper escaped
the penitentiary-tirst, because the
jury found him nOt guilty, and, second,
because it would have been a disgrace
to the editorial profession. The de-
falcation at the Lander office was all
made good by Mr.. Smith just as soon
as an officer of the government had
checked owe his accounts and demand
ed the sum due the government, some
thing over $500. Two or three people
had access to the %postofice and in the
opinion of the jury Smith committed
no crime. 1t was a source of great an
noyance and expense to him. Aside
from paying the government all the
money he was charged with stealing,
he was compelled to defend himself at
great expense in the United States

claiming to be in sympathy with the
democracy of Thomas Jefferson.
The political philosophy of the age
to which Jefferson belonged was dis.
tinctiy individualistic. His motto was
that 'the world is governed too much"
Socialism combats this theory and de
mands that the government shall be
everything. Herbert Spencer well call
an essay written by him to show the
drift of the age in which We live. The
individual is to be sacrificed for the
good of society, ignoring the funda-
mental truth that society itself is of
value in proportion to the degree that
it permits individual development.
This sacrifice of the individual for
the good of society is in conflict with
the course of evolutionary development
in nature. 1t is in the lower orders of
animal and vegetable life that put
slight differences between individuals
of the same species are discerned
Differentiation marks development in
the higher orders, and that social con
dition and hence that government must
be the best which permits the highest
individual development consistent in
other respects with the welfare and
the stability of society.
We are drifting away from these ole
standards, so fully recognized in the
earlier history of the country and il
harmony with which the United States
has been developed into the creates
nation and certainly the most pros
porous in the world.
