Political Advertising.
[st. Adams Messenger

The ethical and partisan side of this
growing policy of political advertising in
newspapers was all threshed out in 1904.
The ground was then gone over
exclusively on both sides with the result
that with but two or three exceptions the
state press declared for that proper self
respecting independence that submitted
no part of its columns, news or advertis-
Ing to the censorship of any political party
or faction, and that accepted as a part Of
its mission as a medium for the dissem-
nation of intelligence the right to print
any or all advertisements of a lawful
character, This very same attitude to-
ward political advertising is taken by the
best newspapers in the land, and journal
lists recognize as the very leading ex-
ponents of the profession, men like St
Clair McKelway. for instance openly
champion it. OF course, it is something
new, this idea that a party newspaper
shall help the "other fellow" to get his
arguments before the people, and 1t oc-
casions something of a shock to the old
line, hidebound party man. But the real
beginning of it. the real warrant for 1t
and the greatest of the credit for it, lies
in the fact that the best newspapers are
no longer strictly speaking party organs
This is the day when the honestly in
dependent newspaper is the type and the
ideal, and politicians have simply got to
reckon with it, that's all.

The Passing Of the oregon.

And now 1t is the oregon that has to
go the way OF all battleships, and pass
from the first to the second line of de-
Tense. to do duty in home waters. This
announcement will occasion not a little
sentimental regret among the American
people, who will ever bear in mind the
long voyage OF this battleship from the
Pacific coast to Cuba, and the brilliant
part which she played in the chase of
the Spanish squadron on its flight from
Santiago .haTbor. 1t seems but a few
years ago that the ships OF this class
Oregon, Indiana, and Massachusetts,
were heralded as the most powerful armed
and armored battleships ahoat. The
claim was well made; for not even the
big British ships OF that day could match
the combination of four 13-inch and eight
S-inch guns and 1S-inch face hardened
armor found in the Oregon class. Yet
these vessels possessed inherent defects
as naval design and construction ad-
vanced, which were bound to tell against
them. Chief among these was the fact
that their displacement of something over
10000 tons was altogether too small to
effectively carry such a powerful aggre-
CATION of offensive and defensive ele-
ments. For in order to float such guns
and armor at all, II was necessary to
keep down speed. coal supply, and the
supply of ammunition. to a point which
was bound ultimately to render these
ships unable to remain in our first line Of
defense.
The trend of later battleship design is
in the direction OF giving a ship high
freeboard, large displacement, and a gen.
erous supply of ammunition and coal, and
the increased displacement of about 60
per cent. of such a vessel as the battle
ship Connecticut over the Oregon has
been given mainly to these features. The
main battery of the Connecticut in num-
bers and weight is no greater than that of
the Oregon, consisting OF four 12's and
eight SIS as against four 1875 and eight
SIS. In the secondary battery there is an
increase from four 6-inch to - 7-inch
guns. The vastly greater power of the
broadside is mainly due to the great in
crease in velocity. range, rapidity of fire,
and energy of the guns. The length OF
the ships has gone up from 34S to $50
feet; the breadth from 90 1-3 to 76 2-3 feet.
while the depth. on the other hand, has
been reduced from 2S to 26% feet, a most
important advantage for the later ships.
Displacement has increased from II, 2ss
tons TO 10000 tons, and the speed has
risen from 16 knots to IS. The normal
coal supply has risen from 400 tons TO
2OOOi and although the oregon is credited
with bunker capacity of 1850 tons as
against 2200 tons for the Connecticut, she
cannot take on that amount without prac-
tically submerging the whole of her
water-line armor. In the second line Of
defense, however, for service in home
waters, the Oregon still has a useful life
of many years service before her, and in
the naval annals of the country she is
destined to be placed high on the roll of
honor'-ISeientific American.

Commenting on this wilful, and IMPROVE
dent destruction of natures efforts to
reforest our naked hills, a Mount Holly
farmer said II got $25 for all the trees
l had in one pasture and II was worth
S25 more to have it cleared up"
Against such blind unreasoning folly,
argument seems to fall fiat This pasture,
worth at its best few dollars to the acre,
was doing what it could to become q bit
of woodland, worth almost any price an
owner is willing to name. But along
comes the Christmas tree buyer and offers
that farmer one cent a tree for those
priceless spruces. A days slashing by the
expert woods-strippers and the long,
patient years of natures work are swept
away for a paltry sum of money.
Leaving out all sentiment connected
with the affair, where is that boosted
business sense that Vermonters are sup
posed to possess in superior quality? II
they will rob their farms of these tender
trees, why not demand a proportionate
share of the profits? Candid confession on
the part of these christmas tree buyers
reveals the fact that the customer in New
York, Philadelphia or Pittsburg never
pays less than 81 for his tiny Christmas
tree and the price ranges from that to IS
for the finest selections. Where does the
Windsor and Rutland county farmer figure
in these fine profits with his cent or two
per tree?
DCitullllC lOItSlTy apparently means
nothing except a long. hard name to these
misguided landowners. II they could see
government experts carefully growing a
tiny plant from its seed. cherishing and
transplanting it to kindly SOIL lovingly
protecting it until it could be left to grow
alone, and then waiting for the long years
to make it a tree, the criminal savagery of
destroying natures best output would be
better understood.
Selfshness lies at the root of 1t, prob
ably No immediate return, in our gem
Grafton, comes from the careful forestry.
Our children and our children's children
may reap the benefit, not us. And so we
rudely sweep away. not only what the
earth, air and gentle rains have done for
us. but all that may be done for
our heirs, when we permit the Christmas
tree vandal to come in and pay us $25 for
what, in Gods good time, might pay our
children 20, 80 or even 100 times that sum.
Twenty-Five dollars invested at per
cent. and compounded annually produces
1857 in 40 years.
Two thousand five hundred trees left to
the ministration of the elements would be
rated cheap in 40 years at $1,000.
Where's the profit especially as we
promptly spend the $25 and never invest
it at all?
