By general consent, Admiral Sperry is
the best naval tactican we have. lie has
filled the office OF president OF the War
college with notable ability, he Is thor

neuvers, and a man OF strong Intellect, ex-

these reasons he was sent as delegate
TO the late peace conference at The Hague.
His past naval record, wholly free from
anything akin 10 the spectacular. has been
distinctly credltable. He has undertaken
no work which has not been done well, and
quietly. He is a hater of display and news
paper notoriety. He is keen, shrewd, the
possessor of a mordant wit, Which some

WHO OWNS THE RAILROADS,

Discussion has been renewed re-
Gently over the question of real owner
ship of the railroads and other big
corporations of the country. It is a
common belief that Mr.. Hartman,
Mr.. Morgan and a half dozen other
the great railway systems of the ma
tion. This opinion is as general as
its companion that the majority Of
American bonds and railroad stocks
are held abroad and that a big share
OF their earnings goes each year to
swell the Golfers of foreign holders.
Recent publications. particularly of
the Steel trust and several of our big
railroads, have served to throw new
light and to dissipate some of the old
opinions and impressions.
Soon after the recent financial
slump in New York statements were
published that the number of indi-
vidual share holders in the great cor
porations had largely increased and
that the American investors of moder-
ate means were securing stock in estab-
lished Industrial enterprises. The ex-
tent to which this change has been
made is shown by report Just pub.
lished by the officials of the Pennsyl.
vania railroad, whose dividend checks
are now going to 5s,415 separate share
holders, an increase of more than
5000 over last year. Twenty years
ago the entire stock of the Pennsyl
vania was owned by fewer than O,OOC
persons. At that time two-thirds o.
the stock was owned abroad. Today
less than one-eighth of the stock II
owned by foreigners. Where 65 cents
OF every 81 in prott was formerly
sent to foreign holders today only /:

The situation is the most effectiv,

CONSUMPTION or LUMBER.
Duty on Common Lumber and Em-
bargO on Home Bulldtng.
xxyashtpgto, Post


Returns from 2,0TT sawmills in the United
States show that for the year 1905 the out
put of lumber, laths and shingles amounted
20 1890 O6T 900 feet board measure. How
many mills made no return of their product
nobody knows. In addition, railroad sta
tistics compute that they laid the forest
under contribution for 103, 1900 crossties.
How much fuel the forest supplies the
hearthstone is a thing of impossible con-
lecture. The effect of our prodigal con-
sumption and vandal waste OF timber Is
shown in a loss OF S10o,0Oo.0OO in the Ohio
valley alone in a single year, due to floods
that devastated cities, towns, villages, ham
let's and oranges.
Canada has immense virgin forests, es-
timated as Of eight times greater area than
ours; but the tariff on lumber tends to
shut that supply out OF our markets. Only
few days ago a single issue Of great
New York daily newspaper consumed ma
terial that required the denuding of many
acres of forest before the paper was pro-
duced. We ought to get all our wood pulp
from abroad, mostly from Canada, and the
Paper trust should be required to compete
with all the world when given free raw
material.

should be revised up ana down. CAD
met woods-ebony. grandilla, lancewood,
mahogany, rosewood and satlnwood-now
on the free list, ought to be heavily taxed
for the revenue they would yield. On the
other hand, boards, planks, deals, laths.
shingles. posts, railroad ties, pickets, pail
ings, slaves, barrels, boxes and other similar
articles, now heavily taxed should be ad-
mitted free. and in respect to them the
ka fsdoUyn
Many a man who builds a cabin on the
prairie has little money with which to pay
taxes. Every man who buys mahogany or
rosewood furniture has money in both pock-
cts with which to pay taxes.
Congress can do more in two hours to
conserve" our forests by the revision of
the lumber schedule as we have here sug-
gested than twenty convocations of all the
governors at the summons Of the president.
