That Attack on Moore.

Wholly without warrant was the
attack made in the city council ses-
sion on Attorney Charles w. Moore,
especially SO as the work he offered
to do Is purely professional and none
who know him and his ability dare
say that he is incapacitated or In
capable. am. NJ 7.s.te.a
Only a few years ago he served
the city most satisfactorily as Its city
attorney, and, one who can fill that
place is certainly equal to the task of
revising and codifying the laws OF
the city.
Besides Mr.. Moore in the same pro-
fession as the one who made the at
tack is equally prominent and has
enjoyed as good success at the bar
as most OF the lawyers of his own age
and experience.
And, thus, the attack based on
nothing whatever is to be bitterly re-
sented by Mr.. Moore's friends. AS
members of the same profession 1t
should not have been made. and,
doubtless the legal fraternity Itself
will take cognizance of 1t.

To Barter Public Offices.

The Democratic organization was
divided on the matter OF fusion be-
tween the Democrats and Prohibit
tionists. One division worked dill
gently to persuade the Prohibitions
lists to permit fusion, while the other
worked as diligently in the opposite
direction and won. The latter de-
clared that they did not believe in
letting two or three hundred Prohi-
bitionists control what little Demo
cratic party there is in Harrison coun-
ty. but that they believe there should
be distinct Democratic party In
the county.
The other division OF the organiza.
tion had more selfish objects in view
1t was not a matter of party welfar,
with them but purely one of self in
terest. They hoped by using tn,
Prohibition party to get control o
the county and I'LL all Its Offices witt
themselves. III

different from that planned and hoped
for by them.
Efforts are already reported look

Kept secret From Ranks.

"a serious question confronts the
rank and file OF the Democratic par
ty. The nominating conventions
will soon be here. All know what
the history of the Democratic party
has been in this county the last sew
eral years. They all know that the
party has been manipulated by a few
in their own interest and that the die
tators must have their own way. The
only candidate announced thus far
for sheriff will agree with this state
ment, for he knows It to be a fact
beyond dispute, and, unless there has
been some changes in the manipula-
ton, he is not scheduled by the
manipulators for the place and they
will see to 1t that he does not get
the nomination, II he does not come
to their terms and make himself sub
servient to thems
Mr.. Fighter has been the only one
with the courage to announce his
candidacy, but 1t is known beyond a
possible doubt that others are seek
ing nomination. RICHTER is to be
admired for the course he is taking
in letting the people know he. is a
candidate. The other fellows show
weakness or subserviency in not let
ting all the people know that they
are, and their course savors of the
plans OF star chamber plotters.
While the Telegram is not solicit
ing for its Democratic contemporary,
yet 1t would be far more satisfactory
and pleasing to the rank and file Of
the Democratic party to read in the
columns OF that paper. or even the
Telegram the announcements of those
who seek nominations at the hands
of the Democratic party. But. since
the machine began to get in its best
work for Its own interests 1t has not
been the pleasure of the rank and
file to have presented for their con-
sideration a full list of candidates.
Instead they usually have been up
against the proposition of swallow
ing on convention day a list Of can
didates, whose fitness they have been
deprived OF discussing and determin-
ing for themselves.
1t looks at this time as II Dem
ocratic history in these respects is
most likely to repeat Itself this
year.

A Nation of Wasters.

In a single opening paragraph in
his speech before the governors in
conference at Washington, James j.
Hill tells q truth about the American
people and the condition OF the age
which ought to. cause all to pause
and consider. That paragraph is as
follows:
i, "Of all the sinful MASTERS Of mans
on earth,'' said the late
Professor shaler, land all are in this
regard sinner, the very worst are the
people of America" This is not q
phrase, but scientific tudg-
ment. 1t is borne out by facts. In
the movement of modern times, which
has made the world commercially q
small place and has produced sol
idarity Of the race such as never be-
fore existed. we have come to the
point where we must to O certain ex-
tent regard the natural resources OF
this planet US common asset, COM
pare them with demands now made
upon them, and study their judicious
use. Commerce., wherever untram-
Is wiping out boundaries and
the world relation of de-
mand and supply for smaller systems
OF local economy. The changes Of a
single generation have brought the
nations Of the earth closer together
than were the states of the Union Mt
the close of the Civil War. II we fail
to consider what we possess of wealth
for the uses of mankind,
and to what extent we are wasting a
patrimony that can never be
restored, we might be likened to the
directors of q company who never
examine a balance sheet.

Dogwood and Perslmmon.

The supply of dogwood and per-
simmon shuttles in the Southern
States Is nearly exhausted. This
statement will not appear significant
to the average man when he first
hears 1t. But when he Is told that
the entire supply of shuttles, bobbins'
and spindles used in the cotton and
WOODEN mills in all parts Of the coun-
try is furnished by the dogwood and
perslnrmon growing in the Southern
States, the seriousness of the situa-
ton is apparent. The textile mills
of the country represent capitalize
ton OF nearly a billion dollars and
bobbins, shuttles and spindles are
Just as necessary parts OF these mills
as the throttle is to the locomotive.
Fortunately the unuttle manufac-
turers have found another source of
supply in the dogwood stands in the
far northwest part of the country.
Two large companies manufacturing
splndles, shuttles aud bobbins have
erected plants In the Cascades in
Oregon, whose dogwood forests are
the. greatest in the world, the tree
often attaining a height OF rs feet
and a diameter OF. one to two feet
The southern dogwood is rarely more
than six inches in diameter. Elk.
tensive stands of dogwood are also
found in California and Washington
Up to the present time, lumber users
in the Pacific northwest have found
dogwood yalueless except for fuel
and its utilization for the manufac
ture OF shuttles win bring about {
considerable increase in stumpagt
