The Presidents recent message
to congress goes no farther than
to reiterate, in milder terms, per-
haps, what he had already recon-
mended in previous messages 1t
contains only two suggestions that
we would cayil at, one being in
favor a modification of the Sher-
men antitrust law; the other, that
the tariff should be revised. 1t
might be we'll to remark here,
that his recommendation on the
tariff was applauded more by the
Democratic than the Republican
side of the House. We would not
say that there should be no modii
cation of the present tariff sche
dule. hut we will say, and unhes-
itatingiy, tha: any plan that co n
templates general revision of the
tariff, looking towards lower rates
should not be considered by the
Republican party. The Demo.
Gratis have through their tariff
legislation in the past inflicted
serious calamity in the country,
which supplies the Republican
party with 40 reason for stepping
aside from its principles to invoke
another such calamity. Busines:
has recently been seriously upset,
and to meddIe with the tariff by
cutting the protective duties

A Halt Of Wasteiul Methods.

The address in ST. Louis of Gif
ford Pinchot. chief Of the Govern
ment Bureau of Forestry, directs
attention to a subject that receives
less thought than it demands as a
vital public issue. Forestry. as
practical science, is still largely
an abstraction. Few state legisla-
lures have done anything for it or
give i; place iu the business of a
session. They can see, if they
think of it at all, that forestry re-
lates to the proper use Of natural
wealth, and that lis neglect has
made many of the old regions of
civilization a desert. Such Il re-
suit seems a long way off in this
comparatively new part OF the
world. But the increasing price
of timber is a powerful reminder
of what is coming. Mr.. Pinchot
referred to the rapid exhaustion
of white pine, and to the fact that
American methods Of mining are
equivalent to waste of half their
supply. Missouri had a mountain
of iron ore, but it has been indus
triaily destroyed.
Only oneffth of the forests OF
the United States are now owned
by the government. A go as-you-
please policy of slashing down
timber prevails in the bulk of the
forest area. The government has
established reserves TO an lucreas-
ed extent. In the East this can
be done only by co,orporation with
the states which were colonies he-
fore the patton was formed. In
some of the states east of the Miss,
issippi there has never been any
government land. Congress has
been slow to act on an Appaiach
ian reserve. \ few states have
made start in forest reserves and
reforestation. Missouri and its
adjacent states have done little or
nothing for forestry. Dealing
with this issue in comprehensive,
efficient way must he by foresig
if at all. Conservation is easy
CONF pared with restoration. Mis-
souri, ought tu be leader in for
estry, but its legislatures ignore
the subject. ect.-Giobe-Demoera'.

numbe of men and cars idle was
greater than at any other time in
several years; but there was no
moment when the situation ap-
preached in severity the trying
and extended period of the early
nineties. There has existed no
sound reason for profound depres
sion. Men are rapidly resumin g
their places in mills that have been
closed for few weeks. Every
branch of business is looking up.
The freight car experts show by
their figures that the number of
idle cars has been much reduced
within the past four weeks, with
the tendency distinctly favorable.
The yellow journal that seeks to
shake reviving confidence deserves
little of the public. Its fatuons
contention that there should be no
suppression of the real truth is
not disputed; but that the real
truth is represented by its sensa
tional screeds about the army of
the unemployed is to be denied
with positiveness.- Louis

The Senate has passed the Aid
rich currency bill by vote of 46
to 16. Such u prel l.onderance in
favor of the bill in that branch of
Congress leads us to believe that
there are virtues in the measure
that will accomplish the purpose
sought by it, or the opposition
would have been more pronounced.
The House still has to deal with
it, but it seems generally conceded
that it viii pass that branch also.

Seventy five counties in Missouri
are now dry" under local option.
Looking over our exchanges we
note with some degree oe satisfac-
ton that large majority of them
are against the liquor traffic,
though we must say that all bat q
few of them have waited for pub
lie sentiment to shape itself before
they took definite stand against
the traffic. It is easy enough to fall
in line with the column that is
marching on to victory when the
foe is on the run. We do not be-
lieve it will beoverstepping the lines
of becoming modesty to say that
the journal took its stand against
the liquor traffic when the saloons
were at the height of their power
and arrogance; when to be success :
ful in politics meant that you
would have to bow the knee to the
liquor interests and submit to its
dictates. In those days it took
more courage to fight the saloons
than it does now, when about the
only results we could see coming
from this work was derisive
laugh from the friends of the sa
Icons.

Mr.. Richard Bennett who with Mrs.
Bennett (Miss Mabel Morrison on the
stage), has been appearing with success
in "The Hypocrites," Henry Arthur
Jones play, on the road, made his re-
appearance in New York last Monday
night January 2o) in the principal role
in a new French farce Twenty Days
in the Shade" at the Savoy Theatre
and was enthusiastically greeted by a
brilliant first night audience. The new
piece, presented by Charles Frohman,
is translation by Paul M. Potter from
the French of Hennequin and Yeber and
is full of the most amusing situations.
Mr.. Bennett played the role of Henri,
Comte de Merville, and practically
carried the whole play on his shoulders
as he was only off the stage seven
minutes during the whole performance.
He played the part with his characters
tic naturalness and yet with the speed
and snap that farce demands He was
accorded much laughter and applause.
