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. 49,. ...
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

What Ais Jerome?

What is the matter with Jerome? 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 a bitter,
Incorporate and disgraceful assault
upon men who are trying to propagate
the square deal and defense of the
obstructionists. 1t does not make any
excuse for Jerome's speech that David
Graham Phillips and Lincoln J. Stef-
fens may have INDUCED in exaggera-
tions 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. It was impossible
for him to make the remarks he did
without raising suspicion that Jerome
himself is one willing to ride into office

Mr.. Jerome is confronted with grave

ingenious. 1t was not the magistrates

The Nebraska supreme court has
handed down decision on Nebraska s
anticigaret law, which was tested in
the courts by young man arrested on
the charge. Of rolling a cigaret. The
effect Of the decision is to sustain the
law in general, making the sale and
manufacture Of cigarets illegal, but the
rolling Of cigarets by individuals for
their own use is not called manufac-
turing.' It is a pity that the court
did not rule on the legality Of these
single manufacturers throwing their
by-products out into other peoples air.

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 T h Journa 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 a
country which has a surplus Of agricul-
,tural products to sell and whose prin-
acipal 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 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,
coed 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.
