WASTEFULNESS.

Once more the story of American wasteful-
ness-is being dinned into the ears of prodlgals
This time it is Professor Holmes, of the geo
logical survey, who calls our attention to the
millions of tons of ore and coal thrown away
by slovenly methods of excavation and utiliza-
ton, and to the billions of feet of standing tim
ber burned by forest fires, against which al
most no preventive or protective measures are
taken. Even if Professor Holmes and his fellow
prophets of disaster magnify the facts ten
diameters, the evil they portray is ominous
enough. But, taken at its worst, it is trifng
in comparison with the total results of the
petty dayto-day wastefulness of seventy mill
ion Americans. We say seventy million Amer
leans, because there are a few million natives
and perhaps ten million newly landed immigrants
with whom sane economy is a deep and control
ling habit. Devastated woodlands and squan-
dered mineral wealth are the sensational as
poets of the great national evil and will prob
ably continue to impress many persons who only

CENTRAL PARK,S NEEDS.

When it was suggested by Commissioner Will
COX that Central Park needed renovatng the
public mind was not prepared for the idea. The
general impression was that Central Park, like
any forest or grass land in the country, could
take care of itself without resurfacing, resod-
ding or repanting That was several years ago.
Since then the public has seen enough of the
parks steady deterioration to realize that
something must be done TO arrest the progress
of decay and it will probably now accept as
necessary Commissioner Parsons's detailed rec
concentrations.
Central Park has not the chance to pelpet-
uate itself that natural woodland and meadow
in the country have. It's soil originally
poor, for the most part being that thin covering
of rough rocks which is generally to be found In
the higher parts of upper Manhattan Island.
The vegetation is further injured by the smoky
and dusty atmosphere of the city, and the park
is more and more crowded every year by visitors
who trample its lawns with constantly increas-
ing freedom. Its roads, as Mr.. Parsons points
out, designed for the traffic of half a cen
fury ago. They were not built to stand heavy
automobiles, and it is no solution of the prob
lem to say that automobiles should not be per-
mitted TO use them. The up and down avenues
of that part of the city, reduced in number by
the park, are already crowded without forcing
upon them a great part Of the park traffic
Much better is Mr.. Parsons's suggestion that
modern roads adequate to modern traffic should
be built. For the rest the top soilng, manur-
ing and reforestation will surely have to be done
sooner or later. The trees, as Mr. Parsons says
We're planted fifty years ago, and many of them
passing their prime New trees will have
to be set out so that when the present ones die
others Will be ready to take their places.
Parks do not last forever, but, like CONNER
cial and manufacturing establishments, need an
allowance for depreciation The recognition of
this has been too slow What is needed now is to
have "a well organized scheme Of restoration es-
"tablished and carried on year after year IN an
Intelligent and systematic manner" Only in
that way can the park be kept up so thar its
renovation will not be an offence to the senses
so that we shall not some day have park hur-
riedly remade, which in the newness of its
trees and lawns will look like a mushroom sub
urb called into existence overnight by Il spec
ulative realty company.
