Is It a. Surrender?

The address of Mr.. Mellen before the
Art club of Boston sounds like the
bugle calling retreat. Mr.. Mellen
practically says the jig is up, the man
agement Of railroads is to be radically
changed and the railroad managers who
have committed none of the offenses
which it cannot be denied have been
committed, will be thrown down along
with those who have. 1t is impossible,
Mr.. Mellen says, to allay the suspicion
which has been excited, it is too late
for promises. The public will have reg
ulation.
It. looks as tho President Mellen were
trying to excite sympathy for some I'M
known railroad presidents who have
done only their duty and conducted
their railroads according to the best

Good Way to Get Subscribers.

A South Dakota farmer, who has been
listening to some of the harangues Of
the representative of an eastern paper
claiming to be a farmers publication,
writes to The Journal to express
his regret that SO many farmers of the
northwest should be induced to follow
the lead of such an impractical schemer
The plan is to organize the farmers
into farmers trust, and this glib talk
er has lot Of stock phrases about
trusts, which are supposed to catch the
thoughtless and the unwary, and lead
them into scheme for the organization
Of farmers trust, which shall with
hold the products Of the farm or let
them out as the members Of the farm
ers' trust may choose.
The farmers, of course, are quite at
liberty to organize trusts if they want
to, if they think it practicable for
country which has a surplus of agricul-
tural products to sell and whose prin-
cipal exports consist of grain and food
stuffs. 1t does not appear probable,
however, that a combination of pro-
ducers numbering thirty millions Of
people would be able to form a hard
and fast agreement Of that kind which
would be observed by everybody. The
probabilities are that as soon as the
trust had succeeded in advancing prices
a little, and before it had said when,
individuals would begin to sell out, re-
gardless Of the common interest and
prices would be at once restored to the
normal level based upon supply and de-
mand. Some things can be successfully
cornered when they get in very large
part into the hands of one or a very
few people, but no commodity has ever
| been cornered while it remained in the
hands Of the masses. A corner of that
kind is an absurdity, and while the
agent for this farmers trust may sue
ceed in securing a good many subscrib-
ers to an eastern farm journal of rather
anarchistic tendencies, there is no rea,
son to expect that anything else will
come of his tour thru the Dakotas.

What Ais Jerome?

What is the matter with Jerome7 Has
the doughty champion Of the people
lost his hold on the grand question Of
the campaign which elected him
GLOW did they get it?" His speech
before New York audience of college
men on Saturday night was bitter,
Incorporate and disgraceful assault
upon men who are trying to propagate
the square deal and a defense of the
obstructionists. It does not make any
excuse for Jerome speech that David
Graham Phillips and Lincoln J. Stef
fens may have INDUCED in exaggera-
lions or mad statements which are not
true. The general trend of their work
is in the direction in which Jerome is
supposed to be going. It was possible
for him to reprove their excuses with
out throwing himself bodily into the
arena as the defender Of the system
they are criticizing. 1t was impossible
for him to make the remarks he did
without raising suspicion that Jerome
himself is one willing to ride into. office
on a storm Of high-sounding language
and repudiate his platform as soon as
he is installed in office.
Mr.. Jerome is confronted with grave
duty in the city of New York. The in
surance grafters are trembling before
him, or at least they would be if he
did not show disposition to tremble
before them. The public is not satisfied
that justice has yet been done the
trustees of those institutions. It is &C
knowledged that the Armstrong investi-
cation merely scratched the surface. It
was expected that the legislative in
vestigation would be followed up by
grand jury inquiry which would develop
facts upon which criminal prosecutions
might be begun. Mr.. Jerome now says
there is no law covering the acts of
these men in dissipating the trust funds
Ethey swore to protect. Mr. Jerome may
be right about this, but it would have
been in better taste at least for him to
have tried case and failed in it thar
to have acquitted all the insurance

The Automatic Actress.

The Chicago Woman's club recently
had a symposium on the theater in
which the whole range of the Chicago
drama, from Sam T. Jacks to ssThe
College Widow" was discussed. It
was decided that the theater is good
institution which is capable of great
Improvement. Miss Jane Adams told
of the theater as it exists in the Hull
House district. saying she grew more
tolerant of mistakes in actual life the
more she saw of the false ideals thrust
upon unguided persons in the trashy
theaters. AS for modern vaudeville,
Miss Addams thought it was beneficial
because satirical. .@- s-.' -<
Miss Harriet Monroe said theaters
were dream houses which take hui
mainly from the dirt and unhappiness
of life and feed imagination.
Mrs. Henrotin approved the theater,
but complained that most modern act
resses were mere fashion plates without
intelligence or animation. She consid-
cred that they had a bad influence on
young girls. One or two men who
were allowed to be present and take
part in the talk admitted that the the.
alter was vitalizing force.
We are ready to indorse most of these
views and particularly those dealing
with the fashion-plate actress. This

who swishes her skirts, firts her fan

was meant to drape clothes upon, not
to speak pieces in public.

A Country Without Trees.

China is held forth as a warning to
America by Eliot Blackwelder, writing
in the Outlook. China is ga country
that has used up it's trees,' and is now
suffering from their absence. Noun
tains and hillsides, no longer protected
by trees, have lost their soil by washing
away, and are totally bare Of vegeta-
ton. Water is not held in the ground,
but runs off in torrents, flooding the
lowlands, and between rains the streams
go dry. The underground water sup
ply is scanty and springs are few. Hill
sides that are farmed must be terraced
with stone walls to prevent their crops
from washing away with the soil.
China was denuded of trees centuries
ago, except for small patches in the re-
mote mountains. Lumber is cut in
those inaccessible spots, and boards car
ried to the lowlands on the backs, of
coolies, where they are used mainly for
collins, and bring So or So apiece. Carts
and wagons are made of soft woods that
wear out quickly. Charcoal made from
shrubs and twigs is used largely for
fuel. -.>
The forests of the United States are
being stripped faster than it is possible
for timber to grow. In spite of the
INCREASED use of steel and concrete, con.
sumption of lumber has increased ten
times in fifty years. In the eastern
states the mountains where rivers rise
and rainfall is held as in reservoirs, are
being robbed of their trees, and soon
will wear the same aspect as the high
lands of China. Minnesota s remain
ing pine is going fast. Selfish interests
block every effort to save these remain
ing timber tracts. Posterity will have
no trees, but the camp boss and his
crew care not hang for posterity
Neither does the man who Gowns = the
trees, and is butchering them for profit
big and little together. The man who
owns tree seems to know nothing, but
to cut it down and turn it into money
While the trees last this is all very
pleasant, but when the trees are gone
what then?
The answer may he found in China
It is not a pleasing prospect.
The time must come when the govern
ment will own or control our remaining
forests, and only allow trees to be Gu
