Passing of the Poster.

That the unlicensed poster is doomed to
extinction is as plain as some posters.
There has been marked improvement In
the character of the poster in the last
decade, and for this the postermaker is in
part responsible, though the improvement
in the main has been forced by public
opinion. Posters are better than they
used to be, but the poster habit Is on the
wane.
Not many years ago the 'gutter-snipe"
"a long bill with legends In block type
was posted on the outer side of the curb
stone. This has passed out of existence
in every half-governed city and even in
some cities that are governed by political
rings. The bills that were posted on
telegraph poles. trees and tree boxes are
now rarely seen in cities. but may be
met with in the backwoOds and back
fields of the pumpkin growing districts.
1t is certain that the billboard poster
the wild and unlicensed variety-will also
pass from the life of a city. That the
regulation of posters will be stricter and
that a municipal tax will be paid on them
as in Europe is extremely likely. num-
Der of cities are banning unnecessary
noises, and offensive sights will probably
also be banned.

The New Party in New York.

The independence party of New York
put at the head of its state ticket last
night a lawyer Of ability and a speaker
of power, and a man thoroughly identi-
fed with what are known as the Hearst
policies In both local and national mat
ters Presumably he will canvass the
state, and he should attract attention on
the stump. He will hardly poll the vote
MI Hearst would have polled. but IL he
comes anywhere near the Hearst figure
he will exercise a most important influ-
ence on the result. 1t cannot be denied
that in the last fortnight Mr.. Hearst. sim
gle-handed or IL you please single-tongued,
has compelled profound national attention
for the charges he has for a year or
more been making, and which, are at the
base of the new party's existence. He
continues active, is in possession of still
more material to support the position he
has taken, and will use 1t according to his
judgment of time. place and effect. He
is in the picture to stay until polling day.

La Toilette and Taft.

Senator La Follette's introduction of
Judge Taft to an audience at Madison,
Wisconsin, yesterday Is very noteworthy
in the campaign. Nothing more cordial
or complimentary has been said of the
republican candidate by anybody. If he
had been Taft man before Chicago and
at the convention the Wisconsin senator
could not have spoken with greater
warmth.
Here and there the deliverances may
cause a measure of surprise. Mr. La Fol-
lette belongs to. If indeed he does not
lead, what is known as the radical fac
ton of his party. He has had hard sled
ding In the Senate, being at times without
company in his advocacy of certain poll
cies. and in the east has been severely
criticised by republican newspapers and
party leaders. His own boom for the Chi
cago nomination was treated with scant
respect this side the Alleghenies. and at.
tanned but small proportions.
This led some republicans and MANY
democrats TO believe that Mr. La Toilette
would be lukewarm in the campairn

Forest Losses.

The forest fires that have been sweep
Ing over the northwestern timber dis
tricts and the governments recent report
on the ecord-breaking lumber cut bring
to the fore the question of forest conser-
walton. Timber losses by fire have been
heavy this year, and have been heavy in
all other years. The red enemy of the
trees has ragged in Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Michigan. He has preyed on the for
est wealth of the Rocky Mountain states
and has blighted vast stretches of tree
land on the Pacific coast. Canada has
suffered unusual loss. Forest conserva-
ton has not been undertaken too soon;
the fear Is that it has been begun too
late.
Though there has been a great deal of
talking and writing on the subject of pro-
lection of forests from fire, the causes
of forest fires. the carelessness of camp
ers and the recklessness of lumberers, the
scarlet-tongued fiend continues to lick
up countless acres of the American woods.
One solution of this problem will be the
employment of a larger forest patrol by
the federal government, states and COM
panies interested in wood service.
The fire patrol In the national forest re-
serves has this year repaid Its cost to
the government many times. In the news
columns Of The Star recently it was
shown that cost Of the protection of the
government forests was less than two
tenths of q mill an acre. The fire loss
on these lands was slight. though they
were menaced from many directions, and
but for the forest service would have suf-
fered as heavily as the non-government
lands.
Statistics Of the lumber cut for 1907 en-
phasize the need of fores: conservation
and the demonstration of cutoff lands.
The government statistics show that the
cut Of 1907 was about 10000, OOO, 900 feet
Of lumber as compared with 1850, OOO. OC0
in 1906, which itself was a record break
ing year. 1t Is significant that despite
general depression In other lines of bust
ness the chopping away Of the forests in
creased in fury.

support from him for Mr.. Bryan. 1t seems
that but few hours before Judge Tart
arrival at Madison. Senator Gore. who Is
In Wisconsin on a stumping tour, mad
voiced this prediction.
And yet, promptly after the nomination
was made, Mr.. La Toilette had pledged
his support to Judge Taft. AS repuoli-
can he could have done no less. He had
made his fight and lost, and he was to De
expected to bow to the will of the ma
jority regularly expressed. His compll-
ments to Mr.. Bryan, which were widely
quoted, were personal. as were Mr.. Bry-
ans compliments to him.
Although with no following in the east
Mr.. La Toilette has a considerable fol-
lowing in the west and northwest, whose
fidelity was not shaken by the result at
Chicago. The men who compose 1t are
still for the Wisconsin leader and what
he represents and what he says as 10
their duty this year is likely to go at
the polls.
His advice to them is perfectly clear.
Not the dulest of the number is left with
a doubt as to what his leader wants him
to do Mr. La Toilette is Internationally
for the Chicago ticket. and advises his
his appeal on regularity. 1t is not simply
that Judge Taft is the party nominee, but
that he is sound on all the leading issues
of the day. The Wisconsin senator de-
scribes the candidate as progressive. The
country under a Taft administration
would not stand still or go backward. but
would go forward in way Mr.. La Fol
lette would approve.
Will the La Toilette men in Wisconsin
respond? Their leader Is on the stump,
and will speak elsewhere than in his own
state Yesterdays speech Indeed may
bring the Wisconsin senate to the front
and make him one of the star spello1nders
of the campaign. There is wide stretch

ready taken stringent precautionary
measures.
The southwestern PROVING of Russia
appear to be the most Indignantly in
fected and the disease is said to be raging
virulently in Astrakhan. An Austrian
quarantine has already been established
and good many suspected cases have
appeared in that country.
Cholera has been present in China, India
and other far eastern countries for several
years. Perhaps it is true that it has
never been stamped out there, but during
three or four years cholera news from the
orient has been prominent. The British
government seems in a measure to have
controlled cholera in India, but has not
eradicated IT.
Asiatic cholera has always taken its
westward course through Russia. 1t fol-
lows the land route, and route where
the conditions of ignorance, poverty and
dirt aid 1t on the way. The cholera cpl
demic of 1S30-32, which ravaged Europe
and inflicted hideous loss in this country
came by the way of Russia.
1t entered European Russia from 81
IBERIA, moved westward into France and
Germany, crossed the English channel and
first appeared in America at Quebec. on
June s, 1882, the first cholera death was
reported at Quebec and two weeks later
q cholera death was reported at New
York. Then the ravages of the disease
began. 1t invaded every city and most
of the villages of the country. going west
as far as the limit of civilization. Wash
ington suffered as did other cities. The
number of victims of this epidemic in
orto v,>t 70 ha L. mi
has been reported that the cholera cpl
demic of 1880 and 1882 claimed nearly a
million victims in Europe.
There is warrant for the belief that
cholera will not at this age find foot
hold in a country where intelligence pre-
walls. Cholera is better understood than
it was at the time of it's other invasions.
In 1892 there was a cholera scare In Eu-
rope and somewhat of a fright In this
country. 1t broke through the German
quarantine and claimed many victims at
Hamburg. Cases of the disease appeared at
London and few cases were reported to
have been found at New York. Quarantine
and sanitation beat the scourge. They
will no doubt be effective today in dealing
with cholera.
Todays advices from Manila induce the
hope that cholera In the Philippines is UNI
der control. The situation at Manila is
reported decidedly improved. House to
house inspection and rigorous sanitary
measures have been resorted to. The
city has been cleaned up.
Science has exposed the secrets of chol-
era The first measure of defense is pure
drinking water. The cholera germ must be
taken into the system, and it's usual means
of entering the body is through infected
food and drink. With clean water, clean
food and clean environment students of
cholera feel that there should be no fear.

great sanitary battle must be fought
II the westward progress of Asiatic chol-
era is to be stayed. Modern sanitat
and quarantine will be put to the test and
il is reasonable to believe that the experts
in the science of health will protect the
cccident from serious invasion by the
deadly scourge of filth.
Advices from Russia are ominous. In
the cable news today 1t is reported that
SO cholera cases were discovered and
that there were 172 deaths in the city of
st. Petersburg yesterday. No Trustworthy
reports on the cholera situation In Russia
outside of the capital are being received.
and the probability Is that the Russian
provincial officials are in the dark on this
subject and incapable Of effectively deal
ing with the situation. Since the out
break last summer there have been nearly
10000 cases reported In Russia and over
1900 deaths.
A horrible condition of affairs at St
Petersburg is described in the dispatches
Hospital facilities are Inadequate cholera
victims are dying faster than graves can
be dug. and bodies are being concealed in
the houses Of the town or left lying in the
streets. There is dire poverty, hunger and
panic. The director of police complains
