NEW ENGLAND SEES
VALUES OF FORESTS
States Awakening to Opportunities
Of Region for Grow
ing Trees.

New England Is beginning to realize
the opportunities which this region
offers for profitable f0Test-pIanting.
During the present year about $500
acres have been planted in the six New
England States by private citizens In
addition. a number OF water companies
have adopted a forest policy. The largest
plantation of this character comprises
over Loo acres
one OF the most important phases OF
refOTestatiOu in New England is that Of
planting abandoned farms and other
waste land, which at present Is bringing
TO income In Massachusetts this waste
land amounts 10 10 per cent of the total
area OF the State while the latest re-
ports in Rhode Island show 22S aban-
dOued farms White pine is the species
most generally planted, but other
species which make excellent growth
and are being used more and more are
Norway spruce for timber and pulp
wood; chestnut for telegraph poles,
posts. ties and lumber. red oak for piles
and ties, black locust for fence posts;
and sugar maple for variety OK
products.
II is not only on these tracts Of waste
land that planting is beginning TO play
such an important part The practical
farmer in This region now realizes that
the cheapest and best way TO get the
special wood products which he needs
on his farm is by planting the trees.
He realizes. too. the protective value OF
plantations which serve as shelter belts
and wind breaks,-Philadelph Ledger.

fright in his anxiety to grasp It, Freeder

The shock Of the fall caused Freeder
TO lose consciousness for a few mo-
ments. The wire burned his hands Sc

Turkey has simply boyeotted every
thing Austrian. Though the Moslem
government says it is doing al! in it,
power to protect the interests of aus
tria, what it is doing has practically
no effect. The movement is in the
hands of the people. Wherefore:
The Austrian-Lloyd steamer Tirol
has been obliged to leave Salonica with
out unloading. The Galieia has been
unable to take aboard 600 passengers
at Constantinople. At JafTa not only
was an Austrian mail steamer boy
cotted, but the mail carts and letter
boxes were destroyed. Austrian shops
are picketed everywhere, but only YER
bal persuasion is used on the loyal
Turk, no violence Already Austrian
firms trading in TurGey fear bank
ruptcy.
1t is the modern weapon. Hereto
fore trade has been more often the
cause of war; now the restriction of it
promises to be an effective substitute
or preventive. China has made the
boycott more imposing than a splendid
ly disciplined army with banners. Tur-
key is making it yield better than an
issue with Austria at arms. The boy
cotters pay neither in lives nor in
creased taxes. And it is a means wholly
in the hands Of the people. The ma
ton which gives good cause to use 1t
these days pays dearly for It's whistle.

4 lime to Specify.

The speech of Samuel Gompers in
Baltimore Monday night was important
in showing us once more what legisla-
ton Mr.. Gompers wishes to have en-
acted by Congress, but it throws no
light on how he is going to get it. Re
ferring to Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Gompers saya;
Taft says we have the right to or
ganiZe, but the deprivation Of the
right to do the things which w are
organized TO 90 is virtually dspTiving
US OF the right to organize. Do We
want to organize to praise the Pres
dent Of the United States? DO we
want to organize as mutual adUfra-
ton societies? our Inherent, our nat
ural rights are denied us By tie de
cisiOn OF the United States Supreme
Court.
Now, it is important to bear in H-ind
what Mr.. Taft in his decisions has said
that labor union can do and what it
cannot do. In a speech in Cooper Union
last winter he thus defined his attitude
toward trades unions an6 the right TO
strike:
Now, what is the right Of the labor
unions with respect 10 the strike? /
know that there has been at times q
suggestion In the law that no strike can
be legal ! deny this. Men have the
right 10 leave the employ OF their en-
plOyer in a body in order 70 impose on
him as great an Inconvenience as posi-
BILE TO induce him 10 come TO their
terms. They have the right in their
! labor unions TO delegate TO a leader
/ power to say when to strike. They have
the right ia advance 10 accumulate by
contributions of all members OF the la
Dor union a fund which snail enable
them 10 live during the strike. They
I have the right 10 use persuasion with
I all other employees who are invited TO
Z take their places IN order 10 convince
them o. the advantage to labor Of unit
/ ed action. II Is the business Of The
courts and the police TO respect these
} rights with the same degree Of care
Z that they respect the owners Of capital
I IN the protection Of their property and
/ business.
This seems 70 be allowing union labor
some rights, though Mr.. Gompers says
that Mr. Taft is willing to "let labor
organize" and do nothing else. He
compares the right to strike and II ap-
+ ply peaeeable methods TO prevent other
men from taking the place of strikers
and the use of persuasion to keep others
away from a boycotted place to the
right to organize to praise the Pres.-
dent of the United States"
But it Will be noticed that 1Ir. Com
/ pers was rather obscure in mis- state
ment OF what it is that he wishes 70 do
that Mr.. Taft objects to his doing and
/ Mr.. Bryan favoTs. He talks about Gin
herent rights" and natural rights" and
/ the supreme Courts disregard of them.
but he does not say what these rights
are. In his speeches elsewhere, how
ever, and in his writings he has not
/ left us in any doubt on this point. He
wants the secondary boycott and the
blacklist legalized. lie wants a trial by
| jury in cases of contempt of court when
/ the CO.. g not committed in lne
presence of the court. lie wants the
courts TO declare that no man has a
property right to do BUSINESS Of a par
/ ticular kind at particular place.
