Wants to Prosecute Frauds.

In his annual report Attorney General
Wickersham speaking of the sugar frauds
says mo effort will be spared to ascer-
tain the precise amount ofwhich the gov
eminent has been defrauded, to recover
all moneys due, and to punish all those
who may be found to have participated
in any respect in the frauds, whether as
officers or agents OF the importers or as
officials OF the government. | earnestly
request special appropriation of $780,
600 to enable this work to be effectively
prosecuted" 1t is to be hoped that Con
gress will grant his request and not at
tempt any grand stand investigation on
its own part. Prosecutions by the at
torney general would secure convictions
wherever possible while an investigation
by Congress would be very likely to re-
suit in the immunity of some guilty par
ties who had rather tell about the other
fellows wrong doing than to take the
punishment for his own offenses. 1t
would cost the country more than $780,
600 too.

land within its borders is likely to
attract wide attention. This power by
the state is just what is needed at the
present time. The state cannot at
present purchase large quantities of land
for forest preserves or reservoirs for the
rainfall because it lacks money and the
voters would not vote the money. But
if can regulate the cutting of timber on
private lands for the purpose of protect

act in forest preservation before the

1t is time now for all citizens to consi-

take definite action next fall. The state
forester is Intercepted to know what
course if any he would recommend in
this matter. Lumber men are closely
interested and they too should be pre-

PRESS COMMENT.
State Has the Power to Control Privately
Owned Forests.


owned Forests.
Much has been heard of public forest
preserves, little of the fact that four
ltths OF the timber standing in this
country is privately owned. Not only
do private interests own four times as
much of the woods as the State and
Federal Governments own, but these
woods are the more valuable. They are
| being burned over at an average loss of
$50,O0O,000. They are cut wastefullv,
at the rate of three and a half times their
annual growth. One-fourth of the tim
Der is lost in logging. In the White
Mountains and on the Southern APPEAL
achian range the forests that regulate
the headwaters of enormous water
powers are being stripped flom the
mountains.
These immensely valuable privately
owned forests are subject to the States
control, without purchase by the States.
On April 6, 1908, Justice Holmes of the
Federal Supreme Court handed down a
decision sustaining the State of Maine in
It's contention that its police power was
adequate to restrict the cutting or
destruction of private forest coverts in a
way to preserve or enhance the value of
such lands and trees thereon, and pro-
tect and promote the interests of such
owners and the common welfare of the
people" The principle has this broad
application, in Justice Holmes opinion:
The State as quasi sovereign and rep
resentative of the interests of the public
has standing in court to protect the
atmosphere, the water, and the forests
within its territory, irrespective of the
assent or dissent of the private owners
OF the land most Immediately concerned"
The Times advises those vast interests
that are being ruined by the denuding of
the White Mountains and the Southern
Appalachians to abandon their attempt,
futile after sixteen years of continued
effort, to persuade Congress to buy
Limited strategic areas" in these regions
and to submit to Gov. Wilson of Ken
lucky, Chairman of the Committee of the
House OF Governors, plan for uniform
State laws to control them in private
ownership for the common welfare of
the people"
Such law, passed and enforced in
every State of the Union, would conserve
and increase its wealth more than any
other single project of legislation.-r The

Spelling Bees.
Notes on Contest in the Central Caledonia
District

The spelling school at Green Bay will
be held Dec. Fl, instead of Dec. 20. The
pupils have been divided into three
sections at Danville Green as there are
80 in the first three grades. Wallace F.
Collins stood longest with Matt B. Bur
bank and Marion T. Hunt next. In the
next contest they stood Chellis D. Curri-
er, Gladys F. Hatch, Harvey E. Dan
forth, Glen H. Crane and Mary A.
Woodward. In the other section M.
Stella Dlmick won with Ralph E. Wood
ward, Maynard NJ Hatch Minnie E.
Langmaid and Alvin c. Danforth in
order. Three schools had spoilers in
these contests and fought hard for
honors. Pumpkin Hill put it's best foot
forward as usual. About 60 besides the
pupils attended, and the spelling was
very good. Raymond L. Dear won
with Myrtle F. Gadapee, Howard E.
Cobb, Everett l. Church, and Charles H.
Birch in order. In the general contest
Lydia M. Taylor and the superintendent
were standing when the book had been
completed, and it was called a draw.
Next in order were Mrs. G. w. Cobb IT,,
Mrs. F. N. Coveny and Maude E.
Bailey.
At Barnet village in the first section
Virginia M. Elliott won and Loren P.
Elliott, Barbara J. Morgan, Hale P.
Gochee, and Alec ]. WEIGH were next
best. Margaret l.. Dawson spelled down
the second section with Harmon c.
Kinney, Hazel V. Kay, Howard N.
Elliott and Elsie M. Gochee in order.
At Harvey in the first section Donald
NJ. Currier was the winner and Winfield
I: Thompson, Mary A. Woodward,
Warden c. Hatch, and Raymond N.
Miner were next. In the second section,
Wendell S. Thompson won and Ralph E.
Woodward, M. Stella Dimick and Nav
nard M. Hatch were next best.
In the general contest Harvey Bur-
bank spelled them down with lydia M.
Taylor, Mrs. E. G. Thompson, Winifred
M. Drew and Maynard M. Hatch in
order. The speaking and music here
were exceptionally good.
In contest in which all the pupils
took part at East Barnet, Edna c.
Wallace was best, with Ora w. Bailey,
owen Quimby, Belle A. Gammell and
Beatrice Wallace next. In the general
contest the result was, Addie M. Rannev.
Marion E. Quimby, John S. Kendall, |
Ida u: Bonnette and Mildred s. Lackie. |
In these items for last week Carroll F. |
Gile was named as winner instead of |
llene r. Perkins, who really stood |
longest, in the second section at South
Walden.

hitting the evaporation to be the same
from the other leaves of the tree as it
was from those on which the experiment
was made, the quantity of water thrown
of from this tree in the space of ~
hours would be three hundred and thirty
ne thousand and seventy-two grains.
Upon examining the number and dimen-
slons OF the trees which covered the
ground where made the experiment,
think it would be moderate computa-
ton to estimate them as equal both in
magnitude and extent on every square
rod to tour such trees as that which |
had examined This will give $40 such
trees tor the quantity of wood contained
on one acre. This estimation is less than
the quantity of wood which is generally
found upon one acre of land in this part
of America. The weight of one pint of
water is one pound avoirdupois, or
seven thousand grains Troy weight,
and eight such pints make one gallon.
Making the calculation upon these
principles, it will be found that from one
acre OF land thus covered with trees,
three thousand eight hundred and seven
ty-fve gallons of water are thrown off
and dispersed in the atmosphere in the
space of twelve hours"
Perhaps modern investigators would
have different way of making such
test and might vary somewhat in the
figures set down from it, but Doctor
Williams made an easy demonstration
of the tremendous volume of moisture
that is taken up and stored by the trees
on the hillsdes only to find its way
down again to feed the springs and
brooks and ponds that in their turn
husband the wat% supply of the villages
below st. Albans Messenger.

VermOnt,s State Forest

Vermont, it is pleasure to note, is
setting resolutely about the business oil
conserving its remaining timber wealth,
and growing more, by methods that will
be determined by trained state forester.
A tract of $50 acres, near Plajnfeld. has
been purchased and set apart for demon
strating methods OF cultivation and cut
ting that will make the tract serve as an
experiment station for that section of
the state. Later similar work will be
undertaken in other sections. Vermont
has not suffered as New Hampshire has
from the forest shippers, and it is freer
| from influences that obstruct sensible
plans OF conservation ~ Boston Herald
"Vermont's newly declared purpose
to keep her mountains in verdure clad
is commendable effort to continue
worthy OF the name she bears. y Bos-
ton Transcript.
1t will be some qualification to Yer
monters to see that already their
awakened interest in this great economic
matter and the efforts they have thus
tar put forth to begin it's adjustment are
meeting with favorable comment from
their good neighbors.
In this connection, it may be of interest
to Vermont readers that The Messenger
has used the word awakened" unadvis-
eddy to read something about the age of
this scientific forestry movement in this
state, that is to say, not about an
organized movement along modern
lines, but about the speculations of a
scientist who even in pioneering DAYS
was lnquiring into the diminution of the
water supply caused by the leveling of
the forests.
In the second edition of his history of
Vermont, published in 1909, DR.. Samuel
Williams has this to say on this subject.
Beside the growth, there are other |
processes carried on bv nature in vepe.
tables OF which we have no suspicion,
until their effects become apparent. This
is the case with the evaporation which
takes place from the woods, during the
summer months Every tree, plant, and
vegetable is then pouring into the at
nosphere an amazing quantity of fluid.
On the 18th of June, 1889, put the end
OF one OF the limbs of small mamie free
INTO IN, bottle containing about one pint,
nat part OF the limb which was within
the bottle contained two leaves and one
or two buds. The mouth of the bottle
was stopped with beeswax that no
vatpor might escape. In five or six {
minutes the inside of the bottle was
clouded with very fine vapor; and in ,
ABOUT halt an hour small drops began to ;
-ollect on the sides and ran down to the {
bottom. At the end of six hours I
weighed the water which had been
in the bottle during that time |
ana r found it amounted to 16 grains,
Troy weight. The tree on which this f
experiment. was made was eight inches y
ma a half in diameter and 80 feet in
lelght. To make an estimate of the
quantity of water thrown of bv th;s
rec into the atmosphere in given
'ortion of time, | endeavored to ascer.
am the number ofleaves which if con.
aimed. With this view (after I had
made some other experiments, J | had the E
rec cut down and was at the pains to 7
cunt the leaves which it contained. the =
'hole number amounted to21.192. Adj. r

Better Things Promised.

Ii Franklin MacVeagh secretary of the
treasury, spoke authoritatively at the
annual banquet of the Massachusetts
Bankers association in Boston last
week his message will be received with
pleasure throughout the country. He
declared that the Payne tariff bill is but
an incident in a tariff revision in the
republican party which is definitely
committed to a revision downward,
that while there will be no more tariff
tinkering at present the Payne bill is not
final, that log rolling in connection with
tariff changes is at an end and that the
new tariff board will be a great. aid in
future revisions with the information it
will have on the subject.
The end Of log rolling in tariff revision
would be very important achievement,
so important in fact that the country
will need an actual demonstration be-
fore it will be convinced the change has
come. If the day is near when actual
conditions shall determine the changes
to be made in our tariffs it will soon
eliminate the tariff question very largely
from politics and will afford proper
protection to American industries with
out permitting unreasonably high prices.

1t is not a very fattering condition
among Vermont dairymen that shows
out of ffty-nine diaries examined in the
interests of the Massachusetts, board of
health only twenty-nine were producing
good enough milk to be legally sold in
Massachusetts. Evidently Vermont
dairymen have considerable to learn vet.
Another thing to be thought of is are
the people in Vermont going to take
without question the products of a
dairy that Massachusetts has rejected.
Vermont is certainly entitled to as good
milk as any other section of the country
but it must assert itself if it is to have
it. Vermont farmers too should not be
satisfied until they produce milk that
will pass the test of any market.

OF 1900 he met with an accident and
since that time has been confined to his

Judge Remick'S Tribute.

Judge James W. Remick, in introducing
Hon. Clarence A. Buskirk c. S., who
recently lectured in Concord, N. H., paid
a high tribute to Christian Science and
to its discoverer and founder, Mary
Baker Eddy, who was long an honcred
resident of that city, He said
Ladies and gentlemen: l am glad to
stand here this evening in this beautiful
temple, the gift of one of the worlds
most remarkable women to the cause
to which she has devoted her life, and in
sense to the city she loves, and stand
ing here present distinguished exponent
OF Q, the religious philosophy known as
Christian Science.
Whatever may be said for or against
this philosophy, it has been accepted by
hosts of men and women of the HIGHEST
character and intelligence and the
sweetness of their lives is the best trib-
ute to their religion. Certainly the
ideal that to be spiritually perfect is to
be physically well cannot but make for a
nobler humanity and a better and hap
pier world
We do not like to contemplate what
the condition of society would be with
out the influence of the church in the
various forms in which it is appealing to
the human heart; but from the church as
an institution and from religion in it's
dogmatic aspect, we are ever turning to
the noble and inspiring example of the |
Christ. To think as he thought; to feel
as he felt; to love as he loved to pity as |
ne pitied; to forgive as he forgave; in
short to live as he lived: and if necessary.
70 die as ne died for truth and justice is |
he sum total of religion, and that
,hurch, whatever it's name and whatever
is teaching, which does the most in the
ears to come to make men in thought
md deed like the Master will be the best
hurch.
