The nightridins Of Kentucky ant
Tennessee is the ultimate end where
wealth and ignorance clash and it th'
former class would only heed th'
mutterings OF the coming storm and bt
satisfied with reasonable demands al
would be well. Whenever the peo
pie begin to clamor for justice upor
their exploiters, the class who deny tina
the people want anything; when the
clamor grows so loud and the ignorant
commit such terrible crimes as that en-
acted two weeks ago, then they hide
behind the law and demand the con
viction Of the murderers. There is nc
question but that such criminals should
be speedily brought to justice. and such
crimes are never justi6able, but the
foundations and primal causes for
such should be remedied too. The ig-
norant have few rights. But unfor-
tunately there always seems to be no
way legally Of doing anything and the
poor complainant is always advised to
be patient until way is discovered,
Way after way is suggested, only to
be dismissed as dangerous or i'm
practical or Unconstitutional. The
years pass; the clamor persists, be-
becomes desperate. Politicians. cleo
ted by special interests, pass law
that has been carefully made uncon-
stitutional. This gives the favored in
terests several years more of license,
Finally. public sentiment Chose who
think their Legendary rights have
been restricted or suppressed com.
pels the right law, il is passed
Then comes the obstacles to enforce
ment. More years of delay; louder
cIamor. A case is made, a trial is
had an the evidence is so incom-
plete or the peoples lawyers SO poor
ly matched against the lawyers of the
special interests that the case fails.
and the Law is enabled to say, You
see we've done our best, but the ras-
Gals escaped" Then comes the in
evitable result and the ignorant and
poor act according to their lights and
terrible violence is committed. OF
course two or many wrongs never
make for right but what can be ex-
pected OF such people and with such
Justice" Such violence must be
stamped out but we must also go back
to the beginning too, sooner or later or
the crimes will continue to follow.

One serious difficulty about either
party advocating prohibition in the
coming campaign, says Washing
ton writer, is in the fact that fully
one-third of the revenues of the gov
eminent are obtained from taxes on
distilled spirits and fermented bever-
ages and until some plan is found to
make up the loss the national gov
ernment cannot become dry. Out of
total revenues during the last fiscal
year of $500, 140,S34 distilled spirits
and fermented beverages paid about
s220,000,000. The sum is tremen-
dous one and the government could
not continue in business unless it
found some other way to make up
the loss. The almost unanimous view
is that Mr. Bryan with all his radi-
calism, would not undertake to add
prohibition to the other ideas he car
ries along with him into a political
fight. 1t is practically agreed that
the platforms of the national conven
lions will not contain anything on
this subject. If it should come up
afterward it will be because Mr. Bry-
an projects it himself.

ened famine in wood for manufacture
ing purposes. Its members include
representatives of such interests as
the Builders association, the Agricul-
tural Implement and Vehicle Makers,
Furniture and Cooperage interests,
whose business is seriously threaten
ed. These industries, which use hard
wood primarily, are warned that the
supply of this material will be ex-
hausted within fifteen years. The
water power interests represented by
the association are confronted by loss
es of millions of dollars due to the
non-regulatioh of rivers and streams
on account of improper forestry
methods. The cotton mill men of
the south and east and factory own
ers in all parts of the country suffer-
ed last year damages amounting to
more than $100,000,000 on account
of floods due to the same cause. The
great irrigation and reclamation pro-
jects of the government with the vast
outlay of manufacturing capital are
absolutely dependent upon the kind
of reforestation urged by the associa-
ton. The increase in price of build
ing material and consequently of rent
and other increases in cost of COM
modities which the public has been
forced to pay on account of the
growing scarcity of wood for all pur-
poses has developed wide spread
and vigorous sentiment which is ma
tional in scope in favor of the de-
mand of President Roosevelt that i'm
mediate attention be given to this
great problem. Particular attention
will be given at the coming confer
ence in Washington to urging the
passage of the Lever and Currier bills
creating national forests in the APP
palachian and White mountains.

TREES FOR NEW ZEALAND.
Climate Is Such That Those From
Any Climate Will Thrive.

Trees from the United States, Eu-
rope and Australia are being system
atically introduced into the native
forests of New Zealand. In the clim-
ate of that country trees from almost
anywhere will thrive, and this fact IS
taken advantage of to plant the most
profitable species. Eleven million
larches, oaks, spruees, Douglas mrs
EucaIypts have been set in p!anta-
tions and vast numbers of seedlings
are coming on in nurseries. These
are rapidly growing species which
also make excellent timber.
The reason given for introducing
foreign trees is that the native trees
of New Zealand are too slow IN
growth. Some of them, as the kauri
pine, grows to gigantic size and pro-
duce excellent timber. but it takes
from 200 years up TO do so. Success
full forestry demands quicker returns.
More rapid changes in animal and
vegetable life are taking place in New
Zealand than almost anywhere else
in the world. The native Polynosian
race is rapidly disappearing before
European. The wild animals. native
to the island, amount to little in the
contest wild animals brought in,
many Of which now run wild. The
streams are full Of American and
European trout. which grow in enor-
nous size. The very forests are
TO be replaced, tree by tree. by plant
ing foreign species as the native
woods disappear.
New Zealand has one million two
hundred thousand acres Of forest.
with two hundred kinds Of trees. IL
Is estimated that the native forests
will last. az the present rate OF cut
ting, for seventy years. The replace
ment will therefore he gradual. But
In the end. II the imported trees prove
to be more valuable economically than
the native ones. they will make up the
future forests Of the country.
Forestry was taken up in New
Zealand over thirty years ago. but
was abandoned after a few years
The reason given for dropping 4 Was
that il s-tSt more than il was worth.
After several years Of exploitation.
il was generally conceded that the
abandonment Of forestry b. the gov
eminent was serious mistake. and
il was taken up again with renewed
energy. Nurseries and plantations
are being extended IS rapidly as cir
eumsfances viii allow. The yearly
timber cut Of New Zealand i about
half billion feet. nearly the sane
! amount cut Of British Columbia

The bids of over sS1, 100000 for
the 100000 New York state per
cent loan at 100 and 1O9 were highly
suggestive. They showed that there
is an abundance of capital seeking
investment where security and credit
are unquestioned. Contrast this with
bids of s250,000,000 for the $50
OO0, New York city AZ per cent at
about 104, says Banker Clews. The
state loan was subscribed for six
teen times over and the city loan only
about five times over; while the per
cent state issue brought much bet
ter price than the city 4 Il per cent
bond. Some allowance must, of
course, be made for the difference in
size of the two loans. and the fact
that financial conditions were some
what better for the state issue. But
this does not fully explain the differ
ence in the two issues. New York
city has been extravagant, not only
in its increase of running expenses,
which have been out of all proportion
to its growth in population. but in its
OUTLAWS on various public improve
ments. These have been carried on
at a stupendous scale, and often at a
much greater cost than if done by
private capital. Many of these inn
provements have been imperative,
particularly those relating to trans
portation. yet they could have been
better accomplished by private CAPT
tai properly regulated, and then ;he
city's credit would not have been
threatened as il now is. New York
is not the only city which has injur-
ed its credit in this manner. COnser-
vative and we'll governed cities in
England and Germany have also had
the same experience. Municipal
ownership ideas are proving extreme.
" costly for the taxpayers, and it is
already plain that We had better re
turn to private enterprise in the fur.
nishing Of public utilities Proper
regulation will easily prevent a repe.
tition Of past abuses. and there would
be less water in such investment.
than i'm some of the costly public
works where iuefhciency multiply
cost.
