Portionless Boys and Dowried Girls.
, There is something of Roman par
ent's austerity in President Taft's de-
sire to start his boys poor. If wealthy
fathers were to follow the example the
"three generations between shirt sleeves
and shirt sleeves' would be reduced to
one. sons no longer beginning where
the father left off. The plan might be
expected to be generally beneficial to
society. A boy can have no greater
handicap to incentive and to real use
fulness than nn inherited fortune.
There would be tue additional advan-
tage that wealth diverted from Inherit
ance would revert to society in the
shape Of public benefactions.
But the possibility Of such conditions
is qualified by MIR. Taft's statement
that. though the boys must take care of
themselves. he intends to ''scrape to-
gether" all he can to give his daughter.
so that she need marry only when she
chooses to marry and not because Of
circumstances. This is in effect an I'D
vocacy Of dowries for daughters. In
that event the advantage may suggest
itself to disinherited young men of
acquiring fortune by marriage rather
than by toll.

Football i still Football.

-sl.
Year after year the demand is voiced
for the abandonment Of the game Of
football in the schools and colleges.
The advocates Of the sport have resist.
ed the petition Of fathers and mothers,
alleging that the game is necessary for
the proper development Of American
youth. All attempts to secure Il rad
ical modification Of the rules and prac.
tees of play have been unavailing.
Now and then some 50 called reyisions
Of the rules are undertaken. but the
annual toll Of death continues to be
exacted Notwithstanding
The public. opposition to the game of
football aroused by the numerous
deaths which occur ON the gridiron
field is not directed against the sport
itself so much as against the manner
in which 1t is played in this country.
Defenders of the sport declare that it
is conducive to the so called virility of
the American character and that the
training in it at our schools and col
leges is next to necessity for the de-
velopment Of American youth along
national lines.
The truth is that certain players in
the United States have brutalized the
game out Of Its real nature and have
taken pride in the fact that it is rough
and dangerous.

The Franco-American rariff War

The Franco-American Tariff War.
In compliance with the provision Of
the Payne tariff act the commercial
convention between this country and
France terminated Oct. 80. One re-
suit of the abrogation of the agree
ments concluded in 1903 is to put into
effect the maximum rates Of the
French tariff upon articles which un-
der the agreement enjoyed minimum
rates. If we should engage in IL tariff
war with France we would be ut much
Of disadvantage. OF, course France
is not going to tax our raw cotton. But
she will exclude our breadstunfs and
provisions and take much less of our
cotton oil.
1t is idle to talk of our people fore
going French Iuxuries because of the
price or to vindicate any tariff bill.
Nor is that all. France is the worlds
money lender and makes the rate Of
discount at London and Berlin. and
that means much to every railtOhd or
other corporation 10 our country. Let
us hope that the trade between the
United States and France may not be
curtailed. as it certainly would be so
far as 1t concerns. our exports II the
threatened tariff war should come.

Gifts to Enable the Government to
Save Zig Trees.
One Of the most public spirited gifts
ever made to the government came
during the year from William Kent Of
Chicago. who has decided to the Unit
ed States 235 acres Of prilneval red
wood forest on the southern slope Of
Mount 1amalpais. about six miles
from the city of San Francisco. This
grove is one Of few remaining tracts
Of redwood forest to he found III its
natural state i1.. California. At the
request of Mr.. Kent 1t will be called
the Muir woods, in honor of John Muir.
the noted naturalist. The destruction
Of redwood by numbering has been
very rapid during the last decade. The
large timber in the Muir woods has
escaped the Ak partly because of its
location and partly because the former
owners of the tract have protected It,

by the government under authority Of
the law which provides that objects

tract in the state. Of California is so
easily accessible to so many people.
Its great educational value. together
with the fact that 1t is a pleasure

visit this part Of California. makes
the woods an ideal national monument.
By an act OF congress passed Feb.
10, 1909. way was found to save for
all time one Of the most famous groves
of trees in the world-the Calaveras
big tree grove of California. For more
than nine years the people of Califor-;
mia. particularly the 500 women Of the
California club. have been working to
interest the government in protecting
the big trees from destruction. The
act finally passed by congress provides
for the acquisition Of the grove by an
exchange which will give its former

the timber in the grove. No appropri-
alton is needed to carry out the act.
The land to be acquired under the
act includes 1900 acres, of which 500
acres. known at the north grove. are in
Calaveras county. and 3y04O. known as
the south grove. are in Tuolumne coun-
Y. There are 1880 big trees in the
grove. not counting specimens less than
six feet in diameter. Besides the big
trees. whose scientific name is Sequoia
washingtonlana. there are hundreds Of
sugar and yellow pines ranging to the
height Of 275 feet and often having a
diameter Of eight or ten feet. as well
% many white firs and incense cedars.
In the north grove there are ten trees

tory methods Of making vinegar:
When the cider Is pressed from the
apples the barrels should be piled about
two-thirds full and the bung replaced
BY loose plug Of cotton. which will
lessen evaporation and keep out bugs
and dirt. Where the quantity Of vine-
gar to be made ia considerable the bir-
rels should be placed III a room where
the temperature can be kept from 20
to 20 degrees during the fall aud early
winter months. If the batch is small
the barrels may be left out Of doors
while the weather is warm. and then

some In Both Hemisphsrss Are Quits
q. Similar. IN.
When two regions on different hemi@
.nheres possess similar climates there
d nearly always a similarity IN their
native vegetation. and It is demon
strated fact that many Of the plants
native TO one of the regions find them
selves perfectly. at home In the other.
California conditions are markedly
similar to those of the Mediterranean
region. so that it is no surprise to find
more than fifty plants from the latter
region that thrive in California with
marvellous vigor 1t is conservatively
estimated that over IS per cent or the
forage on the California range lands
Ia made up of Mediterranean immi-
grants, mostly ANNALS, such as wild
oats. bur clover, alfilerilla, bronze
grasses, fescues, wild barleys and
many others. 1.,4 r,'.'-' -
The Great basin and the Columbia
basin resemble California in one
marked respect-namely, that the sum-
mers are dry and the winters wet.
Indeed, the principal difference from
California lies in the colder winters.
The difference has not prevented the
Introduction and rapid spread OF most
of the European ANIMALS now so con-
spicuous in California. 1t Is really
little short of amazing how rapidly
and extensively some Of these plants
have occupied the range lands at the
expense Of the native vegetation.
The conditions in Arizona are not
very favorable to the plants that have
found California conditions so con-
genial. with the exception Of alfilerilla.
Arabia of all old world regions Is most
like Arizona, and from there, If any
where, we should expect plants adapt
ed to Arizona conditions.
Western Washington and western
Oregon closely approximate In climate
the British isles. and practically every
thing that thrives in the one region Is
at home in the other.
The middle and south Atlantic states
are similar to Japan and China In cli-
mate. 1t has long been recognized that
all Japanese plants. especially orna-
mentals. thrive in this region perfectly.
A number Of them are so at home. in
deed. that they have literally taken to
the woods and behave as natives. Wit
ness the japanese honeysuckle. Japan
clover. ailanthus. paulownia and the
recently introduced Chinese violet. I
The cotton states evidently have
much in co1amon with India and south
eastern Asia. whence we have OBJ
tained cowpeas. crab grass, Bermuda
grass, velvet beans and many weeds.
and to less degree with Argentina.
where rescue grass. carpet grass. pas
palum grass and number Of common
southern weeds are native.
OF late years there has been increas-
ing evidence that the high plains or
northern Texas resemble the highlands
Of India. At least practically every
plant introduced from, the India high
lands has succeeded better In the Tex
as Panhandle than elsewhere in the
United States. s -3s.3.
The great plains region lying east of
the Rocky mountains and west of the
one hundredth meridian finds its near
est parallel In climate in Asia. This
is the region that gave us alfalfa.
