THERE IS MONEY
IN Pine STUMPS
The Substantial Qualities and
Intrinsic Value Found in
the Pine Stumps.

cut-over pine lands do not dream
of the wealth the pine stumps on
their lands contain. Thousands
of dollars are lost annually in the
parish for the want of q small
capital and some enterprise.
The following from the st.
Augustine (Fla.) Meteor reads
like a fairy tale, but the Is reason
to believe it is entirely practical.
Here is what the Florida paper
says:
"The coal aud gas fields are
not q little In it when compared
with pine wood that is put to best
account. This thought suggested
itself to the Meteor man, recent
ly, while viewing the ponderous
machinery at the st. Johns Light
and Power Company's plant,
grinding up pine wood, while the
resinous qualities thereof ran into
a barrel and the steamed chips
rained down in front of the huge
boilers which utilize them to gen.
crate a power that sends a bril-
liant light throughout the length
and breadth of the city, and then
goes skipping off for miles and
miles in search of business activ-
ity. So much for the substantial
qualities of the pine wood. Its
intrinsic worth, reckoned into
dollars, is amazing. A cord of
light wood will yield 10 gallons
of turpentiue. worth full $500
and the value of the original
article as q heat producer instead
of being impaired for fuel, has
been increased. Then we have
the $500 output of the wood, in
turpentine, free, and the en-
HANGED value of the wood for
heat producing has almost count
erbalanced the cost of extracting
the turpentine. What can you
find that will pay for itself for
the opportunity of being put
to use. We are reliably informed
that as much a. % gallons of
turpentine can be taken from
stumps under the process being
used by the st. Johns Light and
Power Company. Then who will
bemosn the world of pine stumps
that beset his land? If you are
not in & position to market these
stumps just now, let them alone
they'll stay in the ground, like
gold in Q bank, aud can be

A Plea for Sincerity.

You cannot make q man moral
BY law. That is the work for the
churches. If social life is cor
rupt business life will be corrupt.
If prohibitionists would unite
their forces for the ethical im-
provement of society with the
same energy they are exhibiting
in having laws enacted; If they
would work IN hand with the
church and band the women of
the land together to place . ban

the inebriate, to the gambler, to
the immoral, aud rpea it wide to
those who are en,!ea, oring to
lead correct hives; make educa-
cation and morality the pass
words. and not wealth and display;
then there would be created q
public sentiment that would send
men to your legislatures who
would make laws neither oppres-
slve nor unjust. but with neces.
sary structures upon evil doing,
and you would have judges who
would enforce them aud munich

Morality is like religion. You
may shout and pray and splurge,

tatiOn to Governor Decreased
by Ten Days.
Especial to the Evening Star.l

TRENTON, Aug. 24.-Chiefs of the
various State departments have asked
Comptroller West for information as a
basis for getting bids for printing the
reports of the departments. 1t is be-
cause of the conflict of two laws passed
by the last Legislature that the infor-
nation is desired.
Under the old Voorhees, law reports
were required TO be i'm the hands of the
Governor n month after the close OF
the fiscal year, which Is October 81. The
penalty is the forfeiture Of half a
months salary by the chief who fails
to comply with the law. Franklin
Murphy, when Governor, endeavored to
have that law enforced, but did not
succeed.
Chapter 1873 of the statutes of 1908 Is
the one that has the State officials
guessing. This law was passed to pro-
vide for filing of reports. 1t applies to
all commissions. boards and officers
of the State of New Jersey" This
law requires thai all reports shall be
completed and delivered to the Gov
SIiioI VI LSSiSidtuie tcH ddyS lpNNlouH
to January /.
When this law is compared with
chapter 211 of the laws of 1908, the
troublesome situation becomes appar-
ent. The latter statute is the one Gre
ating the department of reports. This
law provides that it shall be the duty
of the commissioner of reports to crit
ically examine, edit and index, subject
to the approval OF the Governor, all Of
fetal reports presented by any official,
institution or department of this State,
and to determine what parts thereof, II
any, shall be printed, and to prepare
satisfactory induces thereof"
The question now is. If it was not
possible to get the reports to the Gov
ernor in a month, how will the officials
manage to comply with the statute
which cuts ten days off that time?
Under the method of having the re-
ports printed by contract by the lowest
bidder, it is possible for the Same
printer to get the contract for several
reports. In such a situation it would be
impossible to comply with the two laws
in question, because each of the reports
you'd have to be passed upon and crit
icised by the commissioner of reports
and this would take SO much time that
there would be few days left for tho
printer to do his part of the work.
State Comptroller West. in a letter
to the heads of the departments, calls
attention TO both laws, n this ha
raised the question at this time.

Flatly ContradiCts Story That

considerable reflected notoriety through
his wife, Madelon LOCKER, who is fight
ing extradition TO New Hampshire, on
a charge of bigamy, declares that he
will prosecute his wife TO the utmost.
He says he will push the case against
her because she Is incorrigiDie and q
notoriety-seeker, and because she has
practically ruined his life.
The marital troubles of the Lockers
were aired in Chancery Court in this
city when Mrs. LOCKER began suit for
divorce against her husband, giving
some sensational testimony that caused
the courtroom to be cleared on several
occasions.
The next phase was when Mrs. LOCKER
was accused of having been guilty of
bigamy In marrying the Rev William
F. Coburn, of Wakefield, New Hamp-
shire. She vas arrested three times,
and is now, through her lawyer, Luke
O'Reilly, fighting extradition. Up to a
week ago she declared that she has
never seen the minister from New
Hampshire, despite the fact that he
positively identified pictures of her pre-
scented by Lockers lawyer as the woman
who married him.
Last week she told her lawyer to
make public the statement that she was
duped into marrying the Rev. Mr..
Coburn while under a hypnotic spell
cast over her by him.
Today she about-faced and fatty con
tradicted him by stating that she was
never hypnotized and had never mar
ried the minister from New Hampshire.
Tired with the duplicity and constant
notoriety. Irving LOCKER has instructed
his counsel to wage the legal war to
the end against his wife.
