the RECORD BOYCOTT

The nations that paid but little at
~tention TO the boycott started by China
against Japan less than a year ago
have been compelled to change opin-
ions in view of recent news from the
orient. Reports show that the boycott
has proved most disastrous TO Japa-
nese trade and is, more than any
other one cause, responsible for ia
pans action postponing for five years
its proposed international exposition at
Toxic.
For the Japanese steamship COM
panies. most of which report that they
are on the verge of bankruptcy, the sit
uation is decidedly serious, while the
effects are being seriously felt by all
classes of japanese merchants. 1t ap-
pears to be the most successful com
! mercial warfare on record and demon
~strates an efficiency on the part of the
Chinese in carrying on such a fight
that has not heretofore been expected.

Vaneement of the boycott. II consti-

II TRUCE IN hpIvA.

The adjournment Of the Iowa legis-
lature without electing a successor to
the late Senator Allison. but under
agreement to return in November and
vote for the republican choice to be
disclosed by a preferential ballot at
the November election, is a truce in the
factional fight in the Hawkeye state,
This is virtually going back to the
original program laid out for the extra
session at the time it was called.
The difficulty in Iowa grows out OF
the fact that the direct primary Law
failed to provide for the emergency
presented by the sudden death of Sen
ator Allison after he had been named
in the preceding primary as the popu-
lar choice to succeed himself. The
law left no way to take another ex.
preston OF the party membership and
1t was with the distinctly stated pur.
pose of amending the law in this re-
speet that the legislature was con,
vened. The attempt to force a choice
OF senator at he extra session was
never promising and the ballotine
served no purpose except 70 disclose
the relative strength of the different
factions in the two houses of the legis.
lature.
The final arrangement for adjourn.
ment is by no means an ideal solution
but it is, undoubtedly, the best way out
of a puEzling predicament. 1t ought
to go a great ways toward making
sure that the * legislature about tC
be chosen will be republican in ordel
to commission the popular choice fol
senator not only for the short term
but also for the full term, which will
not begin uptil next year. 1t ought
also, to solidify all elements Of the
party behind the national ticket anC
keep Iowa in the republican column
by its usual majOrities.

And lose yourself in it heart whole.

Until with vision bright you view

And put your heart into the day.

LABOR AND POLITICS.
Radicals nac the Life of the
Unions.


San Francisco Chronicle.
There has never been a friendly society
/ which could stand the strain of engaging
in political contests, and it is unlikely that
there ever will he. No organization is less
! able than a labor union to stand such a
strain, for in no other organization is there
so large a part of the membership to whom
the emoluments of n small office is a
temptation. Morally the wOrkingmen are
exactly like other people, and to a very
large number Of them the desire for a po-
iitical job will outweigh any regard which
they may have for reputation of union la
Dor. We saw the result In this city-a solid
vote OF unquestionably honest men regularly
given to a gang of unmitigated scoundrels
who had no trouble whatever in controlling
the conventions. In time, Of course, the
honest men will revolt. Fortunately for
unionism. the revolt In this city came in
time to avert a catastrophe. Another term
of SchmitL would have broken up unionism

There is little doubt that Gompers ex-

PROFIT IN FOREST RESERVE,


One of the objections urged by the
opponents of President Roosevelt's
forest reserve policy has been that it
would entail a heavy burden of expense
upon the government for the mainte-
nance of the reserves established in
the different states. These opponents
have made much of the appropriation
bills and the expenses of the forestry
bureau and ths inspectors, rangers
and other employees of the service.
While the amount has never been
large, the expenditure would have been
amply justified by the general good
to be derived from the adoption of the
forestry system, even If there were no
source of return. The fact remains,
however, that under the existing sys-
tens the forest reserves promise to
be a source of revenue, instead of ex-
pense, both to the federal government
and to the states in which the reserves
are located.
Returns just printed by the bureau
of forestry show that the United
States receives large proceeds from the
national forest reserves and hat I'M
der a new law several of tho states
are sharing in these returns TO a
substantial degree. This new law,
passed by the last congress, gives 25
per cent of the gross proceeds of ma
tional forest business to the states in
which the forests are-located for pub
lie schools and roads. The allotments
to the states and territories for the
last fiscal year amount to S447, 063.
Arkansas, with two newly established
national forest reserves, received 1913,
while Oklahoma came next with 1854.
From that amount the allotments in
creased to $4,000, which was Mon
tana's share.
The revenues from national forests
are derived from grazing leases, timber
sales for special uses, the latter Of
which comprises the use of the lesser
for the development of water power.
Montana, California and Colorado will
each receive more than $4,000 from
timber sales for last year. Idaho,
Utah and Oregon will each get in ex-
cess of $4,000 from grazing leases
and California will receive about $780,
600 from permits for the development
of water power. These amounts will
naturally be increased from year to
year, The lions share of the gross
receipts now go to the government.
This is just and necessary, as the in
itial expense of federal control is
heavier than it will be after the sys-
tenn has become generally established
and better organized. AS the years
lapse the profits from national forests,
compared with the expense of main
tanning them, should steadily increase
and be, aside from the general public
benefit, of great help to the states in
advancing the educational work and in
public road improvement.
