Taft's Tariff Speech

President Taft's candid and out
spoken discussion of the tariff will
carry conviction and win approval
through the country. No President
or party leader has before SO frankly
addressed all his fellow. .citizens-and
a President always speaks to all-on
a vital issue.
President Taft admits the right of
a man TO separate from his party on
a tariff issue. He accepts such an
act as a matter of conscience.
But he condemns as a matter OF
Judgment a readiness to keep high
duties in operation when lower were
affered. The choice was not between
duties in the new tariff and lower
duties. The choice was between
lower duties in the new tariff and
higher duties in the old tariff. AS
President Taft frankly says, the al
lance between far Western States
growing wool and Eastern States us
ing it made impossible a revision of
the ewool schedule, which called both
for reduction and classification. Dem
ooratc votes barred other changes.
Seeing this, it was the part of jus
tice and expediency, principle and
patriotism, to vote for the best tariff
that could be secured and to lower
dnties as far as they could be lower
cd and maintain the protection prin.
ciple, preserving the higher level OF
wages here.
This was done. If all was not
done much was accomplished. Nc
revision is near. None should be,
But before the next revision the
Tariff Commission will gain facts,
unalyzed rates and make intelligent
action possible. The country has
had its last tariG on hasty investiga
ton. President Taft proposes to use
all the powers Of the new Tarif Con
mission to make luminous future ac
tion by Congress when another re
vision is noeded.-PhiiA. Press.

OBITUARY
MRS. MIRANDA HEnE sonMMEL

One of the oldeet residents of the
Borough passed away last Sunday
morning when Mrs. Schimmel, wild
ow Of DR.. John Schimmel, departed
this life. She was born in Milford
February twenty second, 1929 and
was the daughter of Richard, and
Harriet, Baldwin, Eldred. Her faith
or came here in 1918, read law and
was soon after admitted to the bar.
He practised here until 1868 when he
removed to Warren county. this
state. Her mother came from an old
Connecticut family.
Mr.. Eldred b1ilt the house, now
owned by Mr.. Mclaughlin in 1928,
where the greater part of her life
was spent.
She was a most estimable woman
and adorned her home with the
kindly graces of the old school OF re-
finement and courtesy. She was an
only daughter and the last survivor
Of large family of brothers. several
Of whom filled positions of trust and
honor. Her brother John organized
company called the Bucktail Ran
gers which acquired celebrity in the
Civil War. Her only daughter, Mrs
G. p. Mott, died in 1906 aud three
granddaughters survive her; Mrs.
Arthur b Sullivan, Mrs. Norman
Rarsell and Miss Elsie L. Mott, all
residing here.
The funeral was held Tuesday and
interment in Milford Cemetery.

Dentistry AS Applied to
Trees.

State Z0ologist Surface found
letter in the mail sent to the Divis
ION of Zoology Of the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture, asking
how TO prevent decay in a tree from
making further progress. The writ
er said: "We have a cherry tree
whose trunk has rotted considerably.
What can be done to save the tree?
Is it good plan to cut out the dead
part and fill up the hole with ce-
ment?"
Professor Surface replied: "The
proper treatment for the cavity OF
your cherry tree is to clean this out,
removing the decayed wood; then
wash or spray the interior with an
antiseptic, such as a two per cent
solution of f0rnaIin, or a very dilute
solution of mercury bichloride, which
is corrosive sublimate; then paint it
with ordinary paint Of any kind, and
finally fiji the cavity with any kind
of cement, or use one part of Port
land cement with about four or five
parts Of sand.
"This is practically nothing els'
than the principle of modern dentistry
applied to the preservation of the
tree. The dentist cleans out the cav
ity Of decayiug tooth, and fills the
tooth some substance that by preser
walton will prevent the possibility
of further decay. We are coming
to see that the treatment of all liv-
ing things for ills and nffiictions is
based upon the same fundamental
biological principle"

AS the list shows, the three heavi.
est freight producing crops are cabb-
age, onions, and potatoes. Lumber
is fourth. Up to the present time
timber has been cut almost exclusiye-
y from wild land, without much re
gard to the acres gone over. But the
time is coming when the yield of
wood per acre will be calculated as
carefully as the yield of corn, and
as much thought will be given to
growing 1t, though not as much
work. How much wood grows ON
an acre in year2
Some of the abused, burnt, washed
and neglected lands are producing
only little. 1t has been estimated
that the typical hardwood regions
Of Tennessee, where fire is kept out
are growing about 5000 pounds Of
wood yearly per acre. Good stands
Of young pines in other parts of the
country are probably doing as well
or better. But this is not tine limit
for foresters say woodland can do
much better under forestry methods
Good timber must be selected, the
poor cut out, just as the farmer plants
the best kinds of corn and rejects the
poor. In Europe where they raise
crops of trees they get, under favor.
able conditions, an annual growth of
$500 pounds to 6, 800 pounds of wood
per acre. This country can do at
east as we'll.
Toe freight carriers, however. sci.
dom transport the whole wood grow
tn. The waste is left in the woods
or at the mill, This is much or
little, depending upon what is IaSde
Of the wood before the transportation
company gets it. 1t is apparent,
however, that after deducting for
waste, the growth Of an acre of tim.
ber furnishes more freight than an
acre of any one of the agricultural
crops except cabbage, onions, and
potatoes.
The quantity Of any one Of these
three commodities that will go to the
market is limited by demand, but
the demand for lumber is not dimin
ishing. All that the forests and
planted lots can supply will go to the
market.
Woodland, under care, yields year
lY crops as regularly as wheat fields.
The marketable timber only is cut at
regular intervals, and new growth
is always coming on. AS a freight
producer, timber tract may be de
Psnded upon as surely as potato
field. In fact, 1t is surer; for land
Ia farm crops wears out unless con.
stantly fertlllzed, but timberIand
tertilizes itself with its leaves, and
become richer. 1t will yield undi.
minished crops forever.
Trees grow on rough land where
agriculture cannot profiiably be car,
ried on, and the freight and Other
returns from such regions are largely
clear gain since such land would
otherwise be producing little or moth
