Probably no other boys and girls had
better times than the Dutch boys and
girls in old and new Netherland. Hol.
land, says w. r. Griftis III his book.
"rhe Story OF New Netherland.' is the
land OF skates and sleighs. Children
and young people hardly learn TO
skate: they begin II naturally and keep
It up all their lives Whether for fun
or IN parties or to go to the market. to
church. to weddings or funerals. they
move by rapid transit on steel. A pair
Of skates Is passport TO comrade-

Every habit and each trick known on
Holland canals or ponds was repro.
duced on the Mohawk and Hudson.
There was the Iceboat or sailboat on
runners, sometimes reduced for swift
ness TO long plank with crosspieces
for seats and with skate irons. Equip
ped with mast. canvas and some cour-
age. Il seemed to race with the wind

AS for coasting. wherever fiat Hol-
land could show hill or slope or
Friesland furnished q torp or artificial
mound there were the boys and girls
at fun. On the ice lady or lass sat IN

pushed as he skated.
All this shows the aeason why New
burg-on-the. Hudson and Albany and
che hills of Dorp are so famous for
coasting and the North river for ice

ton Of settlers the Dutch-American
towns were noted for shedding. sleigh

The republican party promised to re-
wise the tariff 10 the interest Of the SO,-
OOO, 900 consumers of the country. The
Payne tariff bill, as passed by the House
and amended by the Senate, provides no
relief to the consumers of sugar, who
are compelled by the tariff laws to pay
an annual tribute on this necessary food
product of more than SAP, 600, 900.
Part of this amount goes to the govern
ment, and large part Of it to the sugar
trust and a relatively small number Of
protected sugar growers. Public senti-
ment is practically unanimous In de-
mandinQ a reduction in the duties oD
both raw and refined sugar. No mem
Der Of Congress has attempted to justify
the exorbiiaut tax, equivalent to so per
cent. advalorem, imposed on this pro-
duct. Yet nothing is done by thu
"tarifi revision" Congress to reduce the
b1rden of taxation which the excessive
sugar duties levy on every family in the
land. The people Of the several states
should write at once to their senators,
urging them 10 use their influence ir
favor of material reduction 10 the duty
on sugar.

dimissal is likely to be followed by the
declaration of a strike by the postmen,

FOREST MANAGEMENT.

That the wise management of the
forests is regarded by President W. W.
Finley, OF the Southern Railway, as q
necessity 10 the development Of the
south is strangely brought out In his n-
cent address to the student body of Il @
University OF Georgia.
"In my opinion" said President
Finley, "the economic Importance ofthe
management of our southern forests 90
as to secure from them the largest pres-
ent prOit consistent with their preserva-
ton can not be over estimated In al
dtion to their influence upon stream
flow, tending to diminish the destruc-
tiveness of foods and to maintain higher
water for navigation and for the genera
ton Of power 10 dry seasons, they form
the foundation Of our woodworking in-
dustries.
"Until comparatively recent years the
north Atlantic states predominated in
furniture manufacturing and other wood
working industries. Timber supplies In
that section have been almost exhausted
and these industries are following the
rapidly recediDg forests into the south
and west, greatly increasing the value OF
our timber lands.
"It southern woodworking industries
are 10 thrive in years to come, they
must be assured o! constant supply of
their raw material. This can be brought
about only by the adoption of scientfc
methods of forestry by the owners OF our
woodlands"

tempt of court yesterday. The irJunc-
ton had been obtained in 1906, when
the union picketed the printing Offices
against which the strike was directed.
The leaders failed to communicate the
injunction to the members, aud picket
ing was continued. A rule for contempt
OF court was issued condemnipg McCor-
mack, the president; George Jackson,
an organizer, and Vincent Costello, a
former organizer, to pay fines Of $3.50
and to serve twenty days in jsil, aud
William j. Ssnderson aud Thomas

rule was yesterday confirmed by the
appellate division.
