Rapid Growth of Veneered Wood Industry

WASHINGTON, August End. During
the year 1908, there We're cut into veneer
$50, 542 600 feet b. m. of logs, valued at
81, 1871 900 as against 34S, 523, 900 feet,
valued at Sc, 1876, coo, in 1907, according
to statistics just published by the Bureau
of the Census in cooperation with the
United States Forest Service. Although
industrial conditions generally We're I'M
favorable during the year 1903, the
amount of wood cut into veneer lncreas-
ed, substantial gains being made in the
quantity of both imported and domestic
wood consumed. This was due in a
measure to the closer canvass in 1908,
when returns were received from 4J2
active establishments located in thirty
four States, as against $40 in thirty-one
States, for the preceding year.
Red gum, as in the preceding year,
ranked first among the woods used for
veneer, 119,945 feet being consumed,
with a valuation of 81 ,272, 096, forming a
percentage Of 31.4 of the total consump-
ton. The demand for red gum was even
greater than in 1907, when its percentage
of the whole consumption was 20 5.
Among other woods, with the exception
Of yellow pine, which shows an important
increase, no great increase is noted.
The principal woods imported for the
industry We're mahogany and Spanish
cedar. Of the former II, 487 feet were
used, with valuation of 81, ATS, 1854, as
against 6, 1872 feet with valuation of
1899, sos in 1907.

NOTHING IN DR.. ELIOT'S NEW RELIGION
TO GRIP THE HEART OR BRING CONVERTS.
From the New York Times
We fear no martyr will ever give his
blood as the seed of DR.. Eliot's new reli-
gion-church it hardly is. Yet al the
worlds great religions, the religions
that have lived and influenced the minds
and the conduct of men, have had their
martyrs. A religion of the common good
of the brotherhood of man, of the love of
God and ones neighbor is beautiful, but
as Dr. Eliot formulates his creed, it fails
somehow to take hold on the magma
ton, and in purely intellectuaistic soil
no religion can strike its roots deep
enough to find the water of life. Much,
very much depends upon what the ex-
President of Harvard means by the Glove
of God" What is the God of the new
religion? DR.. Eliot presents in these

DOYOU CARE TO GET BEHIND
THE MUNICIPAL LEAGUEi

Ont in Cincinnati eyes were turned TO
Washington yesterday. The National
Municipal League was alive to our
needs. It's members adopted resolu-
tions favoring a reform Of the District
budget.
You haven't done anything like that,
You don't even know whether or not
the form of the District budget con-
Germs you. But the National Municipal
League does. and it acts.
Think over it a little. You pay the
taxes. Is it worth while to you to have
the accounts on which those taxes are
expended set forth in simple, plain,
busiuesslike fashion? Or don't you
care that they are set forth 80 that the

DIVORCERATE NTHEU UNITED
STATES.

No observer of conditions in the Unit
ed States can fail TO be startled OF can
examine without apprehension the re-
markable series Of facts concerning di-
vorce presented in two large volumes Of
statistical reports recently issued by the
Bureau Of the Census. The data therein
set forth Is not reassuring 10 those who
believe the foundations of the republic
rest on the integrity OF the home
It is shown by these statistics there
are far more divorces, both in number
and percentage, granted in the United
States than in any European country.
In Japan alone, ac the figures exceed
those Of this country. More than this,
the number Of divorces and the percent
age Of divorces to marriages Is con
stantly increasing. From 1870 10 1906
the rate Of divorce nearly trebled. The
number of divorces granted in this
country in 1867 was 1887. Forty years
Ater, in 1906, the number was 1902.
Not the least important phase Of the
situation is that the evil has been
growing even more rapidly in the last
half dozen years than it did previous
TO that time. Foremost among all the
causes for divorce is desertion.
Along with divorce, the subject Of
marriage has 20 be considered. It is
found that marriages are always fewer
when there is financial depression Hard
times invariably tend to pull down the
marriage rate The percentage Of mar
riage is greater in the South than in
the North, though the West is rapidly
increasing its percentage. The percent
age has been decreasing to some extent
in the North Atlantic and North Cen
tral States, while increasing in other
parts of the nation. Oklahoma, Arkan-
sas, and Texas have the highest mar
riage rate.
The Government experts calculate
the divorce rate has not yet reached
its maximum. They calculate that not
fewer than one marriage in every six
teen will be dissolved by divorce, and
that the ratio may be even more than
that.
It appears the courts are doing little

WHAT INCREASED COST OF
LIVING MEANS.

In many respects the increasing cost
of living is the most remarkable mani
festation Of the times.
It is complained Of in all quarters of
the nation, and it is receiving the atten-
ton of thinking men generally. It is
no longer a matter of dispute that the
cost Of living is advancing and that at
a rate that is causing apprehension.
The cause, or causes, OF this tendency,
is something on which not all are
agreed. The phenomenon is not the less
interesting in that it is not confined in
its effects 10 the United States.
+. One phase of the increased cost Of
living, however, has been given less at
tention than most other phases Of it.
This relates to the effects on the nation
OF such advancement in cost. What
are some of these effects?
Increased cost Of living means the
consumer must economic and adopt a
new standard of living. In this case.
al least, the consumer is no myth. ge
finds himself a reality. He must de-
vote his income only to essentials, or
largely so. Luxuries have to be elimi-
mated and study has to be given to the
problem Of making the dollar go as far
as possible.
Ia so far as the increased cost of liy-
The Washington times., 1909-11-22

ing does not strip the average family
Of the essentials, it is not calamitOus.
But in many cases, it is likely to go
beyond that and deprive of actual
necessities. Nor are necessities to be
reckoned merely as food and clothing.
Education is to be regarded as a neces-
sity, and if the boy or girl is forced TO
work for a livelihood or to help sup
port the family sooner than he other
wise would. then the increased cost of
living becomes not merely a serious
problem for the family, but a grave
national problem. If workers or the
families of workers are in any. respect
impairing their efficiency because of
higher living cost, then, too, the prob
lem is one of grave national import.
This means that the strength of the
nation Is being weakened at its roots
Extensive as is the notice given to
the advancement in cost of living, it
deserves more intimate inspection and
study along the lines here indicated.

JUST A WORD FOR FAIR
PLAY.

The Taft Administration is to be
CONGRATULATED on the brill ant victory
of the Government in the Standard Oil
case; but it is quite unn ecessaTy, and
entirely useless, for newspapers and
publicists which chance to entertain
special grievances against the Roose-
velt regime, to go out of their way, as
the New York World does, to impress
that this is a victory of the Taft and
not of the Roosevelt Administration
This litigation was started by order
Of Theodore Roosevelt. He selected the
special counsel engaged in the case. He
took profound and intimate personal m
terest in it, and backed the prosecution
in every possible way. Almost all the
immense task of making and presenting
the case TO the Circuit Court of Appeals
had been completed when the Roose-
velt Administration went out of office.
The Governments victory was even
then strongly forecast by people who
knew the case that had been made and
were familiar with the Law and decis-
ions under which It must be determined.
The Roosevelt Administration started
this case, and the Taft Administration
excellent corps of lawyers must now
carry it through the Supreme Court.
There is every reason to believe that in
future it viii be handled with the same
ability and energy that have marked its
management in the past But there
win be small gain for tie public inter
est, or for anybody's political interest,

made to place the burden OF credit and
of responsibility.
In connection with the sugar frauds
and their investigation, il has been re
peatedly charged, and there is at least
superficial evidence Of justification for
the charge, that tremendous zeal dis
played in certain journalistic quarters
was attributable 10 desire TO reflect
discredit on the Roosevelt Administra-
tion because It didn't go TO the bottom
OF these things and punish the guilty
parties. All tins sort of inspired mis-
representation Of the last Administra-

GEORGE E. ROBERTS ON THE
CENTRAL BANK.

Former Director of the Mint George
T. Roberts, who is one of the ablest
advocates of the central bank system,
and who steadfastly advocated it while
he was in the Treasury Department
and before he became president of the
Commercial National Bank of Chicago,
has again spoken out strongly in behalf
of a great central financial institution.
Mr. Roberts arguments are worth con
sideration for the reason that he ranks
as one of the ablest students of finance
in this country, and contrasts favorably'
with some of the half-baked financial
experts who are now plentifully spring
ing UP, and who viii doubtless thrive
plentifully now that the country is con-
fronted with a great agitation of the
question of currency reform. Mr.. Rob
erts' arguments are not to be accepted
as settling the moOted central bank
question, but they have large measure
of force, and are entitled to thought on
the part of those who are convinced
the central bank plan cannot be fitted
to our American system of banking.
Mr.. Roberts points out that under
the present system in a time of panic,
the banks are perfectly helpless, and at
the first sign Of alarm they begin to
hoard money, which merely makes
bad matter worse.
If an alarm starts, if a big house
stubs its toe, and an unusual demand
for cash comes at any time, the banks
are helpless, although perfectly solv-
ent," SAYS Mr.. Roberts I'VE can do
nothing but import gold, a slow and
costly process"
According to Mr.. Roberts, it is not
the intention to copy any foreign sys-
TEN. and what is done must be by way
of addition to the present system. Ex-
isting banking facilities are not tO be
impaired. he says, in the slightest de-
gree. Nor are local banks to be inter
fered with. The central institution pro-
posed is not to take deposits, but viii
stand behind the existing banks with
the note-issuing power in case Of need.
This, he says, would give the banks
confidence, and would stop the selfish
policy Of boarding cash, which at the
first sign Of trouble Paralyzes the
whole system.
Much of what Mr.. Roberts says Is to
the point. 1t IS undoubtedly true that
the Monetary Commission does not pro
pose TO adopt bodily one of the foreign
central banking systems
Senator Aldrich, in his Western trip,
would probably have made more con
verts had he been able to tell the country
lust what sort of a central bank was
proposed. As vet, the public is in the
dark on this point. The trouble at the
bottom of the whole business, how
ever. Is the question Of how the control
Of the proposed central bank is to be
kept out Of the powerful fnanciers Of
New York and few Eastern banks
Mr.. Roberts has not solved this diff
Guilty to the satisfaction Of the public,
and it viii be the greatest obstacle in
the way of the Monetary Commission.
At this distance, it does not look as if
a solution which win satisfy the in
terror and the general public viii be
reached.
