VALUE OF OUR FOREST PRODUCTS.

BY far the greater part of the forest
products of the United States Is con-
sumed in this country, but the exports
make a big showing. Forest products
include lumber, rosin, turpentine and
shingles and slaves. The value of the
exports in 1906 was $S9, 6O2, 6S7, an in
rease in three years of over rs per cent.
At the same time we imported last year
3 forest products to the value of 500, 065.-
1914, the most important item being
india rubber, of which we received
$45, ia, 450 worth. Besides rubber we get
mahogany and other cabinet woods,
gums, dyewoods, cork bark. sumac and
other articles not produced in this coun-
try. or lumber and manufactured
woods we exported last year $55, 1861. 642
and imported $685. 44. 7S4.
These figures show a comparatively
small percentage of the value of our
forest products. All that we export Is

years hat any serious attention has
been paid in this country to forestry.
Americans understand tillage' of the soil
to grow crops. they learned the n
ical value of manufacturing enterprise,
but they let the forests take care of
themselves. The woodman's ak and the
forest fire played havoc every yea with
the forest growth. When the bare hills
sent down destructive floods the gov
eminent woke up and forestry laws
were passed.
The States slowly learned the lesson
and established forestry systems. New
Jersey was one of the latest of the
States to take action, and its forest
system is still in embryo. Given for
his country as carefully enforced for-
est laws as those on the European con-
tinent, and there will be an added
wealth vastly greater than that which
has been taken from the gold mines of
the West.

EXPENDITURES AT RAILWAY.

Probably President George A. Squire,
OF the Board of Managers of the Rah-
way Reformatory, will turn up at Tren-
ton tomorrow to give the information
that Inquisitor Backes is DESTROYS Of
getting. President Squire has been
subpoenaed for some time and the COM
mittee sergeant-at-arms has chased
after him. but evidently the president
has been taking a vacation in the woods
and has missed his daily newspaper.
The Hahn committee started out to
Investigate the State expenditures. 1t
has switched off at times to probe into
institutional abuses and made a sorry
enough showing in that respect in two
Institutions. The Railway Reformatory
stands revealed in deformities that were
unbelievable when the investigation was
begun. The expenditures of the re-
formatory are now to be inquired into,
and President Squires. the oldest MEM
Der of the managerial board, is ex-
peeted to answer some pertinent ques-
tions. He may be a star witness if the
Committee shall succeed in getting him
to Trenton.

CONFIDENT AND HARMONIOUS.

Despite the inclement weather the
outing of the Robert Davis Association
to College Point. L. l., yesterday was
a great success. The Hudson Democ-
racy turned out in astonishing num-
bers. nearly all the gubernatorial nomi-
nation candidates were there. the State
leaders were there almost to a man,
and the event was characterized by an
optimism that bore testimony to the
general feeling among Democrats thai
this is their winning year.
The great feature of the outing, how
ever was the harmony. MOI in many
years was there such an exhibition.
Party leaders had their preferences and
sections had their favorite sons but all
declared with one breath that they
were for the choice of the convention,
whoever he should be, and would take
off their coats to elect him Governor.
The Democratic party in West Jersey
has evidently learned something in the
bitter school of adversely. Its members
obstinately refused to learn, year after
year, since the great party disaster In
1893, and every year regularly the party
experienced defeat. In 1905 it looked as
If the Democratic party was going out
of business in New Jersey. It hardly
put up a fight. Party rejuvenation be-
gan last year, and the great moving
cause was the excise legislation of that
year. which South Jersey so gaily put
upon the statute book. That legisla-
ton remains to plague the Republican
party this year. It is the most potent
weapon the Democratic party will nave
to WELD in the campaign for Novem-
Der. 1t has helped to make a harmon
ious Democracy in this State, n that

aArA1 AND COAL PRICES.

The Philadelphia Record explains
the high price of coal as due in the
main to the concerted action of the
coal railroads. AS the Record shows
the price of anthracite at the breakers
is approximately 50 a ton; the con-
sumner pays $7.25. The difference is
the amount taken by the middlemen,
of whom the carriers take h lions
share. The railroads nave been en-
abled to secure their control of the
coal traffic by taking possession of the
canals and letting them fall into
neglect and decay. The Morris Canal
is a familiar example.
In Pennsylvania the railroad barons
procured a law excusing the railroads
owning or leasing canals from operat-
ing them. There is no such law in
New jersey, but the practise is
the same. The Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company does not operate the Nor
ris Canal. it only pretends to do SO.
If the Morris Canal was operated as a
business enterprise Newark would get
cheap coal from the mines. If Penn
sylvania and New Jersey should CO.
operate in a new and vigorous canal
policy the back of the coal combine
would be broken.

H P CROP.

The most important of our fruit crops
is the apple crop. The New York
Packer, which is an authority, gives
the assurance that in some of the Sec
lions nearest us there will be q bounti-
full yield this year, though estimating
for the whole country there will be a
falling off from last year to the extent
eff at least 25 per cent. That loss is
serious enough, but, Notwithstanding,
there will be apples enough to go
around and some for export.
The apple has a place in our national
economy that no other fruit can fill,
and its value as an article of food is
beyond estimation. 1t is a part of
American national life and belongs to
our happiest traditions. Childhood is
linked with the apple. 1t figures in our
earliest and, except perhaps in its green
state, in our ~pleasantest recollections
1t is capable of an infinite variety of
forms for the table, it is the most
wholesome of all fruits and the most
democratic. The street gamin and the
millionaire eat the apple with equal
relish and benefit. Let US always pray
for a good apple crop.

The toll-gate, once the great feature
of highway travel il New Jersey. has
fallen into innocuous desuetude. One
after another the toll-roads have been
abolished and there has grown up a
splendid improved road system free to
all. In the n~eighboring State of REM
s~ylvania, however, the t.ll-road is still
prominent.
The improved road movement has had
very little Roadway in Pennsylvania.
Recently the Legislature provided for
an expenditure by the State of Sc. O00, 900
for the purpose, but the toll-roads
stand in the way. The Philadelphia
Press says that as soon as the Pniladel-
phia city line is passed toll is demanded

CHEWING GUM AND FOREIGN MIS-
SIONS.

If the Episcopal bishop of Texas Is
to be believed the annual cost of the
chewing gum habit in the United States
is sixty million dollars. The good
bishop protests that this money had
better go for foreign missions, but that
is debatable. The belief is entertained
by many people of common sense that
the money raised in this country for
foreign missions would better he spent
at home. We have heathens, thousands
and tens of thousands of them. right
here in his country, and the churches
need every dollar they can raise, and
more, to evangelize them.
AS for the chewing gum habit, 1t
may be questioned If the money cost
is waste. People with weak digestions
find that 1t is an aid to them. An ar
ticle that helps to alleviate the pangs
of one national ailment, dyspepsia, is
well worth paying for. And the gum
chewer will testify also that the in
diligence conduces to peace Of mind, to
reflection and to contentment. If that
be true, fifty millions q year Is a cheap
price to pay for the native chewing
gum.

A Grand old Highway.

To the Editor of the Evening Star: /:
Can you give me any definite Information
about what was known as the National
Road which was established by the Fed
eral government years ago? M. J. u.
[The first OF the great national roads was
the Cumberland road, which ran from the
Potomac to the Mississippi. Starting with
Cumberland, Md, 1t ran west through
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana ana
Illinois, to it's terminal point at the Mis-
sissippi opposite st. Louis. 1t was built by
the United States government under the
supervision of the War Department. In
order to secure funds for the constant re-
pairs necessary. Congress passed a Dffl in
1922 ordering the establishment of turn
pixies, with gates and tolls, but President
Monroe vetoed the bill on the ground that
Congress had no power to pass such q
sweeping measur of internal improvement.
Two years later he signed a somewhat
similar bill and the road received the
needed appropriations. The last appropria-
ton made by Congress was In 1874. The
road was begun in 1911. Parts of the old
road are still in use. Archer R. Hu1bert's

grade of ~brigadier general for exception

Is it not those HON fortune has placed

AZ I-rrenarahIe Loss.

1t is a conventional thing to say that
a dead mans place will be hard to fill.
But of Mr.. Mansfield 1t would be a true
thing. Mr.. Mansfield held a unique place.
He was easily the foremost figure of the
stage this side Of the Atlantic. But what
makes his loss the heavier is the. thought
that modern managers do not evince the
same artistic impulses and scruples he
evinced and that other actors, were they
worth, do not find opportunity to pitch
their art upon his high plane. Plays such
as he gave do not seem to be favored by
the producers. Players such as he, there
fore, have scant chance of development.
There is now no artist strong enough to
mark his own path and su~cceed-none

dependence and the financial attractive
ness. His death makes the triumph of
