Prof. jerks Talks of immortality in
Business World

PROVIDENCE, r. l., December 21-Dis-
| tinguished students of political science, his
tor.ans and educators, representing many
| leading universities and other educational
| institutions of this country assembled here
| last night for the opening of a series of an
| nual meetings, to be held under the aus
| pieces of Brown University, during the re-
naming days of the present week Con-
ventions of the American Historical Asso-
citation, the American Economic Associa-
| ton, the American Political Science Asso-
citation, the American Sociological Society
and the photographed Society of America
are included in the program for the week
Last night joint meeting of the American
Historical and American Economic Asso-
Citations was held in Sayes Hall. after
which a reception was given to the visitors
by Brown University officials.
President w. H. p Faunve delivered an
address of welcome, referring to the sig
nificance of the great gathering of dstin-
guished men, and welcoming the delegates
to the university. Prof. j. w. jerks of
Cornell University, president of the .Ameri
can Economic Association, delivered tfre-an-
nual address, his subject being The Mod
ern Standard of Business Honor"
Prof. jerks said:
The frequency of great fortunes gath
cred perhaps legally, but in ways felt to be
unjust, through the power of monopoly,
have tended strongly to obscure the moral
vision of many WeII-meaning men who
with social righteousness, and their acts
have formed the excuse for many others to
break laws which seem to them unjust.
The profit from an unjust though legal
stock-watering may well prove more de-
moraliZinS in business circles than the il
legal freight rebate which saves from ruin
d grain shipper caught at a disadvantage"
In the way of remedy Prof. jerks sub
m1tted that the state should make the con-
dltlonS such that human nature would not
be tempted beyond its strength, and make
and enforce laws which shall forbid I'M
scrupuous practices like the employment
of child labor or the aduteration of goods.
1T may seem tame and impotent con-
clusion, concluded Prof. jerks, that there
is no legislative panacea for our business
Ills, and that upon us, as individuals, rests
the responsibility for our improvement.
The justification for the conclusion is HUI
man nature and the experience of the
ages

ACTOR THRASHED WAITER.
The Latter Had Flung a Plate at
Faversham's Wife's Head.


PHILADELPHIA, December 27.-Wiliam
Faversham, the actor, was at II 30 o'clock
on Christmas eve the principal of a drama
not on the boards, but having the Ritten-
house, 22d and Chestnut streets, as its
scene.
Mr. Faversham and Mrs Faversham m,
known on the stage Julie Opp,
seated themselves at one of the cafe tables
for little supper after the first perform
anee in Philadelphia of their present en-
gagement.
Mrs. Faversham objected to the waiter g
actions and demeanor and told him that
she did not care to have him serve them,
and Faversham demanded substitute.
Incensed at this, the waiter hurled the
dish which he was carrying to the floor,
smashing it in pieces and scattering it's con-
tents far and wide, considerable portion
of them bespattering Mrs. Faversham. He
then picked up a plate and SHE'D it at the
lady's head, missing it by only a couple of
inches In twinkling Faversham had
sprung at the waiter, clutching him with
hSn as a terrier would a rat. Out from
among the tables he pushed the man back
ward, and with crash threw him to the
floor
In moment all was confusion. The din
ers arose from their seats and rushed to-
ward the struggling men, women screamed
and walters ran from all sides.
.'Pll kill the brute!'' yelled the actor, and
from the punishment he was administering
such an outcome seemed not improbable.
Friends interviewed, however, and separated
the contestants.
,, waiter had enough Regaining his compo-
sure Mr.. Faversham resumed his seat, first
bowling to the ladies at nearby tables and
apologizing for disturbing their supper.

TURNING TOCASH
STATE FORESTER BESLEY GIVES
SUGGESTIONS TO FARMERS.
Timber Buyers Should Be Held to
Strict Account, He Says, to
Improve Woodland.

BALTIMORE, December 21.-State For
ester F. w. Besley of Maryland is receiving
numerous inquiries from farmers and others
in regard to cutting and marketing mature
timber.
In a recent circular he says:
1t is Il hopeful indication that our peo-
pie who own woodlots and timber tracts
are not in such haste to convert them into
cash as was the case few years ago. This
has not been because of a lack of tempting
offers, for the timber buyer was never so
active in seeking merchantable timber as
he is today. Prices are advancing rapidly
with the increasing demand for railroad
ties, poles, piles and dimension materials,
until the owner who has a body of timber
that is at all accessible is eagerly sought
by the buyers The activity of the timber
buyer has often aroused the owner to the
fact that he has something of great value
and that it will pay him to look into the
matter.
This naturally leads him to inquire how
he may get the most out of his present
crop and how he may best secure a new
growth. In other words, he is in a posi-
ton to adopt conservative forest methods
if IL can be proved that it will pay. | am
satisfied that plan of management may
he devised for each case individually that
will serve the purpose of the owner, both
in marketing the crop and in securing a
new growth.

Two Systems of Management.

Most woodlands come under one of two
classes-first, those that are cut clean and
allowed to grow up even-aged, and second,
those in which the trees are of varying
ages and sizes. and where it is the practice
to cut out from time to time the best
the trees.
The first method. or the c,ean-cutting
system, is common in pine lands that have
grown up even-aged from old fields. The
trees are usually cut for cordwOod and the
land may be cleared or it may be allowed
to grow up again. Some hardwood lands
managed i'm this way. especially where
The charcoal industry is important. Where
coIdwood is the sole consideration this
system of management is perhaps the
best, particularly for pine lands A crop
is secured in about twenty or thirty years
The second method, what we may
call the selection system is the usual
practice in this state. Under this system,
the trees they become merchantabl BILE
are cut, leaving the younger ones to con-
tnue the growth while the openings made
by the removal of the mature timber are
filled by seeding from the standing trees
or sprouts from the new stumps This sys-
tenn of management is particularly suited
10 the farmer woodlot, and in fact to all
natural hardwood forests.
The advantage of this system is that
timber is constantly reaching merchantable
size and bringing frequent returns to the
owner. The danger is that In always TAX
ing out the best the growing stock is apt
portion of crooked. scrubby trees and those
of inferior kinds. Fortunately the farmer
in cutting his frcwood can take out some
of this undesirable growth and in a meas
uTe overcome the main fault of the system.
Getting Out the Timber.
1t would seem that the proper course
j. to allow the timber buyer. who is so
much better equipped than is the farmer
for such work, to do the cutting, but under
reasonable restrictions The difficulty here
is that the land owner may not know what
is best for the forest. and hence be unable
tu draw up rules that will insure the best
conditions for the future growth.
Again if he could draw up the neces-
s4ry rules. there is the great difficulty of
securing their proper enforcement. Where
only few trees are to be removed on a
small area it may not pay to secure the
services of an expert. but where extensive
cutting is contemplated the owner should
have the land examined by an expert to de-
termine what may be cut with impunity.
lll-advSed cutting is apt Ia do severe
injury To the forest, from which ii may
never recover.

Advantages of Woodlands.

Under an act of the legislature of 1906,
the state forester is giving his services
freely in this work, and regards it of great
promise to the forest Interests of the state.
Those interested should write to him at
Baltimore for circulars which explain the
nature of this cooperative work and tell
how they may secure assistance in improv-
Ing their forest lands.
The farmer who owns a wOodlot or
timber lands and sees the possibilities of
production in these lands" he says, re
CARDS the forest growth as a crop. just as
he does his grass or wheat. The differ

elapse before harvest In the one he Sc
