nor preserve our forests, according to the
opinion expressed by Clifford Pinchot, chief
of the United States forest service, in a
letter to Serene E. Payne, chairman of
the House Ways and Means Committee.
Mr.. Pinchot holds that the fundamental
question at issue in the lumber tariff is
forest conservation. He says that he
would favor removal of the tariff if he
were of the opinion, which he thinks is
the cause of the demand for free lumber,
that it would offer way to protect our
forests. "But am unable. to see," he
says, chow free lumber will promote
forestry. There is only one way to save
our forests" he adds. ''That is to see
that they are kept at work growing new
crops of timber as the old are cut away. "
Mr.. Pinchot is, however, in favor of free
pulp wood, as long as spruce is the chief
pulp wood. He declares that ground wood
should be admitted free, provided that
it comes from a country which does not
in any way restrict the expectation of
wood pulp or ground wood, and that there
should be reduction in the duty upon
news paper, providing that it comes from
a country which does not in any way re-
strict the expectation of pulp wood, wood
pulp or printing paper. Mr.. Pinchot
places the first duty for conserving the
forests upon the lumber men themselves,
declaring that. "by asking for the reten-
ton of the tariff in order to protect the
forests, the lumbermen have in substance
entered into an agreement with the peo-
pie of the United States to perpetuate
their forests by wise USE" He declares
that eff the lumbermen do not make the
most of this opportunity, legislation is
coming, and coming very soon, which
will force them to do clean work in the
woods, and to leave their cut-over lands
in condition to produce second crop. -

Massachusetts, had a surprise party last
week when, after brief executive SEES
slOn. the Legislative committee on consti-
tutio1al amendments, with three dissent
ers. voted to report the resolve for an
amendment to the constitution prohibit
ing the manufacture and sale of intoXi-
eating liquors to be used as beverage
This sweeping amendment, which, in
terms, absolutely prohibits the manu-
facture in Massachusetts of any liquor
whether to~be used in that State or in
any other State or country, was petition
ed for by Elizabeth P. Gordon and others.
AT the hearing, February 24th, members
of the ". c. T. T. were heard in favor
and representatiy of the interests were
heard N opposition, but no especially
strCIg interest was manifested in the
matter and the report of the committee
same as greaJ surprise In 1889 SINH
lar amendment was rejected by the peo-
pie by a ajority of almost $4,000, no
license cities contributing the largest
maJorlties against the amendment No
attempt for constitutional prohibition
has been made since. If again submitted
to the people it is safe to predict that the
amendment will be voted down, but by
much decreased majority. Prohibition is
growing, north, south, east and west.

In Appleton's Magazine for February
is story of prohibition in Maine that is
revolving. That State has had prohibit
tion more than half century, but moth
ing has been accomplished except ire
mendous quarrel. 1t is declared by the
writer, Holman Day, that the prohibitory
law has had the effect of rousing a GER
tain proportion of the Maine people into
determination to have liquor simply be-
q cause it is prohibited. And this, we
fear, is the worst result of prohibitory
laws everywhere.
Maine has tried dozens of plans of en-
forcing the law. The governor who late
ly retired, discredited, tried plan which
virtually made him high sheriff of the
State. He was the head of a commits
sion which spent $75, 900 per year in at
tempts to enforce the law. A previous
law had created large number of spec
ial sheriff's deputies, which the people
were also compelled to pay. Both plans
have failed, and Maine people are more
disguised now than ever before -Atchi-
son, Kansas, Globe.
This will be news to Maine readers; and
particularly the statements that our peo-
pie have taken to drink because liquor is
prohibited, and that Governor Cobb was
retired from Office discredited. Governor
Cobb had served the two terms allotted
by political usage and he retired with a
record that will accredit him for all time
as one of the ablest men that ever occu-
pied the gubernatorial chair in this
State. He lived up to the principles he
professed before his nomination, stood
four square upon the platform adopted by
the State convention, exercised the func.
tons of his Office with the discretion anc
good judgment that have characterized
his business career, and commanded thu
confidence and respect of all good citizens
whatever their political affiliations. "Dis
credited, no! He honored the Office HI
held for four years and is honored today
by the people he served SO faithfully.

NEW IOhh, n al I'll q AOVOs
The market was rather slack this
week, which may, however, be ac-
counted for rather by the depletion of
stock than by the inertia of our cigar
industry, for the Internal Revenue re-
ports for the month of February show
an increase in the output of large cigars
of over seven millions, which while not
stunning, shows an improvement, al
though February was believed to have
been very slow month, to Judge from
the general complaints reported about
the slack business. Since the first of
January the increase in the output of
our cigar industry for the first two
months of the year ran over fourteen
millions, an advance, slight as it may
appear in comparison with the increases
of the boom period, is nevertheless in
dicative of steady progress instead of
a retrogression. The first samples of
the new Sumatra crop are now on ex-
hibition in the market. If they cor
rectly represent the types of the new
crop they readily explain the higher
prices the tobacco commands in this
years inscriptions. The tobacco almost
throughout is of light color, not of the
INV dI1o c@olI-O1OIIO, OoC OA CIldC k1iOoo11iS5
brownish cast of tobacco. It seems
also to be thoroughly sound, free from
any worm holes. Moreover, the leaf
appears to be broader than it has been
in many previous crops. Even the
second lengths show leaves each of one
would readily yield two wrappers to a
side. But the price comes high, and
for some parcels Americans have paid
as much as $3.50 per pound in our
money, which means that with the duty
the tobacco would cost the importer
$3.3 and to the manufacturer $4.00, as
the importer would certainly be en-
titled to profit Of IS cents on an out
lay of S3.35. To present these plain
figures is enough to make the exaction
of $1.85 duty look heinous. The pro-
posed raise of the tax on little cigars
from 54 cents to $1.0O is likely to have
the adverse effect on the use of the
Connecticut Havana seed for the little
cigars, for under the increased tax the
volume of the output of little cigars is
sure to shrink considerably. journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, Wis, April 2, 1909.
The tobacco market seems to be suf-
fering from bad case of the dumps
just at present. The buying movement
has dropped away to scattering trans
actions, when there is yet close to ten
per cent of the crop in growers hands,
many of whom are anxious to dispose
of their crops before the beginning of
springs work. If there was any one
who wanted to increase their holdings
it would seem an opportune time to in
vest now while there was practically a
clear field. But it is the same story
often repeated-buyers have their or
ders filled, the market lags.
The deliveries from early buying are
now nearly all in, but warehouse handl-
ing will continue for some weeks yet.
Business in cured leaf does not yet
show the promised revival, either in
eastern markets or at home. No trans
actions of any moment are reported for
the week.
Nothing has yet been accomplished
towards preparing the seed. beds for
another crop so far.
The shipments out of storage reach
814 cases and six car loads from this
market to all points for the week past.
Since last report II car loads have been
received.

The dullness of the manufacturing
interests is reflected in the leaf mar
ket, and no transactions of Importance
are reported. Notwithstanding the
fact that the new tariff bill makes no
changes in the existing tobacco sched-
ules, the general stagnation in business
Gin other lines as well as in the tobacco
trade) is credited to the uncertainty
that always accompanies tariff agita
ton. The provision for annually ad-
mitting free of duty $50, 100000 cigars,
300, 900 pounds of wrapper and 5000,
900 pounds of filler leaf from the Phil
ippines is not regarded in the leaf trade
as of sufficient Importance to affect the
market in any particular.
The scarcity of good domestic leaf,
particularly of filler types, is becoming
more apparent each day. 1t is stated
that the 1908 Connecticut Havana Seed
crop has passed from first hands almost
in its entirety One New York firm is
reported to have bought crop of Con-
necticut Broad leaf at 80 cents through,
a price which had not been paid since

There is no apparent change in the
condition of the cigar industry, though
the fact that stock is getting low leads
to the hope that factories will have to
resume operations in order to at least
keep pace with the demand for goods.
The new crop is being rapidly deliv-
cred, and it will not be long before it is
all in the warehouse. It is being pack
ed, the dealers say, under exceptionally
favorable conditions, in the finest kind
of shape, and the holders are making
gilt-edged predictions for it. New Era
