more than a year later Mr.. Arch
bold's letters to Governor Stone on the
subject of judicial appointments read
in part as follows:
MY Dear Governor: I am sure you
will pardon any seeming presumption
on my part in writing you on sub
ject in which, both personally and on
behalf of my company, l am greatly
interested. 1t is to urge the appoint
ment if at all consistent of Judge Nor
rison, of McKeen, to the supreme
court bench, vice Mitchell, deceased.
Judge Morrisons character for alb
ility and integrity needs no word at
my hands, but aside from these great
considerations his familiarity with all
that pertains to the great industries of
oil and gas in the omportant relation
they bear to the interests of the west
ern part of the state makes him es-
pecially desirable as member of the
court from that section
And again:
MY Dear Governor: Will you per-
nit me to say that if it seems consist
ent for you to appoint Judge John
Henderson, of Meadville, Pa, to the
vacancy on the superior bench caused
by the death of Judge Green it will
be matter of intense personal salts

TIMBER SUPPLY OF
UNITED STATES

1--WE are now cutting timber from
the forests of the United States at the
rate of 500 feet board measure a year
for every man, woman and child In
Europe they use only 60 board feet"
Few statements could be made
which would better convince the aver
age man that this country leads the
world in the demand for timber. 1t is
made by Treadwell Cleveland, Jr., in a
circular which treats of the conserva-
ton of the forests, soil, water and all
the other great natural resources,
which has just been published by the
United States forest service. In
speaking further of the consumption
of timber in this country Mr. Cleve-
land says:
AT this rate, in less than thirty
years all our remaining virgin timber
will be cut Meantime, the forests
which have been cut over are general
ly in bad way for want of care they
will produce only inferior second
growth. We are clearly over the
verge of timber famine
This is not due to necessity, for
the forests are one of the renewable
recources. Rightly used, they go on
producing crop after crop Indefinitely.
The countries of Europe know this,
and Japan knows it; and their for
ests are becoming with time not less,
but more, productive. We probably

no longer to be tolerated in our public

IL such conditions as were revealed
by the Foraker letters could exist in
Ohio, 1t was expected that they would
exist in Pennsylvania, remarks the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, since it
was the oil-felds of the latter state

These are sickening disclosures
and in line with what have before come
out affecting other public officials. The
Standard Oil monopoly is here reveal
ed as in practical control of the gov
eminent of Pennsylvania, naming the
judges to be appointed and the bills to
be enacted or killed, and having ap-
parently in its employ the chief law
officer of the state. Other letters in
this published Archbold correspond
ence have shown the company as
reaching out with the broad and
greasy hand of Doodle to control
newspapers, the lawmaking bodies of
states and the nation, the judiciary and
the executive authority-a mighty en-
CINE for governmental corruption to
the end of placing the people of the
United States under still greater tri-
butte than that which was being ex-
acted to make John D. Rockefeller
three hundred and four hundred times
a millionaire and his associates pro-
portionately rich beyond the dreams
of avarice, and powerful beyond the
fancies of the most vaulting ambition.
1t is possible that such work as this
shall escape a day of reckoning at the
hands of an outraged and plundered
nation?"
Mr.. Archbold's theory Of good gov
eminent, according to the New York
World rs one where the Standard Oil
owns the public officials, the legisla-
lures, and the courts; and he is will
ing to put up plenty of money if Stand
ard Oil gets what it wants" The New
York Evening Post thinks that these
latest revelations will make extremely
difficult the task of those gentlemen
who are trying to whatewash Standard
Oil. 1t adds:
From the letters of Mr.. Archbold it
is possible to draw but one inference
that for number of years the Stan
dard Oil was trying, by underhand
methods, to influence legislation, state
and national, and to secure the APP
pointment of friendly judges. And all
this was no casual exhibition of ex-
cessive zeal by an irresponsible sub
ordinate; it was part Of deliberate
and consistent policy. 1t is increas-
fngly evident that Americas most un-
popular trust has richly deserved its
unpopularity; for 1t has been a vast
engine of political corruption"
To this Mr.. Archbold replies:

most. would say that the Standard
OIL company has had no reason At Any

IMPORT OF GOOD ROADS.
Points In Legitimate Support Of Build
ing and Maintaining Thorn.

Good roads are benefit to the farm
ers because they render transportation
of farm products easier: they facilitate
travel and shorten the time to and
from town or city markets; they are
humane in that they tighten the draft
for horses; they make driving on pleas
ure or business trips more enjoyable;
they foster neighborly spirit through
communication; they are an aid to the
federal government in establishing
free rural delivery mail routes; they
are business promoters and a credit to

still possess sufficient forest land to
grow wood enough at home to supply
our own needs. II we are not blind,
or willfully wasteful, we may yet pre-
serve our forests independence and,
with 1t, the fourth of our great indus
tries
Present wastes in lumber produc-
ton are enormous. Take the case of
yellow pine, which now heads the list
in the volume of annual cut In 1907
1t is estimated that only one-half of
all the yellow pine cut during the sea-
son was used, and that the other half,
amounting to 100000 cords, was
wasted. Such waste is typical. Mr..
R. A. Long, in his address on Forest
Conservation at the conference Of
governors last spring, pointed out that
~ per cent of the yellow pine was
simply left in the woods-a waste
which represents the timber growing
on 100000 acres.
The rest of the waste takes place
at the mill. OF course, it would never
DO to speak Of the material rejected
at the mill as waste unless this ma
terlal could be turned to use by some
Detter and more thorough form of
! utilization, But in many cases we
know, and In many other cases we
have excellent reason to believe, that
most, if not all, of this material could
be used with profit 1t is simply a
question of intelligent investigation
and, more than all, Of having the will
to economic.
But the are other ways to conserve
the forests besides cutting in half the
present waste Of forest products. The
forests can be made to produce three
or four times as rapidly as they do at
present. This is true of both the yir-
gin and forests and the cut-over lands.
virgin forests are often fully stocked
with flrst-class timber, but this stock
has been laid in very slowly, on ac-
count OF the wasteful competition
which is carried on constantly be-
tween the rival trees. Then, too. in
the virgin forests there are very many
trees which have reached maturity and
stopped growing, and these occupy
space which. if held by younger trees,
would be laying in new stock con-
stantly. AS regards the cut-over land,
severe cutting, followed by fire. has
checked growth so seriously that in
most cases reproduction is both poor
and slow, which in many other cases
there is no true forest reproduction at
all at present, and there is but little
hope for the future

any community. state or nation and
finally. are an index to the intelligence
prosperity and activity Of the people.
All these points are In legitimate
support Of the construction and main
tenance Of good roads. says the South
ern Cultivator. Many other reasons
might be cited in their favor. It does
seem anomalous that, amid all our
boosted national progress. this great
necessity of modern civilization should
be kept so far In the background.
The nation needs better and more
substantial highways. and 1t is hope
full to see indications that this subject
will soon receive more attention from
our national and state lawmakers than
heretofore. The importance Of good
rural Highways is being more thor
oughly recognised BY business men and
legislators than ever before. and the
farmers need NO argument to convince
them that better roads win Improve
their business materially.
