AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION
GOES ON RECORD AS UNAL-
TERABLY OPPOSED TO 1T

Boston, Aug. 31.-The announce
ment that President Taft would at
tend the closing session of the Ameri-
can Bar association was sufficient to
crowd Huntington Hall today with
some of the brightest legal lights Of
the country.
Previous to the arrival of the
president, the association debated at
length a resolution denouncing the
recall of judges and urging the va
rious state bar associations to Eek
pose the fallacy of the judicial re-
call"
President Taft spoke Of the need OF
reform in judicial procedure. He de-
clared that the initiative should be
taken by the lawyers. The president
said there is need for advancing Judi
cial salaries SO that 'the best men
of the bar" might be secured for the
courts. The salaries Of the supreme
court justices, the president said,
should be increased to $4,000 year.
Reviewing briefly the general arbitra-
ton treaties with Great Britain and
France. the president made it plain
that he did not believe objections to
the treaties were valid
The resolution denouncing the prin-
ciple of the recall of judges was adopt
ed by large majority.

THE DAILY MAXIM

Temptation Comes to
Those Who Wait

Norwich bulletin., 1911-01-10

New England and the Middle states are not represented to any extent. The Toledo Blade, commenting upon this list, says
 Ten of these cities are in the west, eight in the south and four in the north. Oklahoma City and Muskogee owe their increases to the settling of q new country; Spokane, Fl Paso, Fort Worth, Dallas, Wichita, Tampa and Jacksonville to expansions and devel- opments following periods of more or less length of pause and an apparently fixed type of industry and commerce. In the case of two, at least, of the cities, the increase came upon the heels of civic campaign. The south ern California cities have been prov ing more and more attractive for res- idence purposes. Those upon San Francisco bay which have gained so much, doubtless profited by San Fran cisco's ills. Seattle has been distin- guished by high energy and enthusi- asm and it had good sense and fore thought to seize the Alaskan trade when the opportunity was open to oth- CTS beside Seattle. Birmingham has become 8 great steel manufacturing community in ten years and in less than five Flint has become center for automobile making. Waterloo is the one truly industrial town of Iowa.
 "The influences in city making are fortunately many. The community which is determined to obtain resi- dents, to work for the purpose, has very fair chance of getting them and has choice of methods"

The alderman placed at the head of he deas rt o,ent of nuhIic safeilI and
Records of Little Value.

American aviators appear to have gone somewhat mad over altitude rec ords. A world mark in sky climbing has been held no longer than three months by any of the daring flyers. But the question who is to be the next king of the air, now that Arch Hoxsey has ascended 11,474 feet in 40-mile an hour gale, is really of little i'm portance in the practicabl ble solution of the problems of successful com mercial aeroplanfng. The next cable despatch from France may cross Arch Hoxsey's record from the books.
 The most interesting feature of the flight was that Hoxsey, whose daring was only exceeded by Ralph John stone, left the ground for his upward climb in a gale for fierce and treach- erous that it wrecked the Antoinette monoplane of Hubert Latham. In this fact one sees the great advance that has been made in the reliability of the aeroplane in the last two years.
 It is quite safe to assume that when the day of the airshin inally dawns. attitudes of more tha ,000 feet will not be sought by the careful air pi- lots. A hundred aviators who have reached astounding heights bear testi- der ordinary circumstances, the at mosphere becomes so attenuated as to be really unsafe for sustained flight. There might be great scientific value in these altitude soarings were the airmen to circle about at their maxi mum height to test out the effect of airslants, wind vortices and other phe- nomena of the upper reaches.--Buffalo Express

"Jinswinqers."

Another statesman has made the great sartorial refusal The governor of Oklahoma declines to wear a dress suit at his inauguration ball In the language of the reports from the new CT southwest he balks at the claw hammer and will sport 'jimswinger.
 What is a jimswinger?
 Is it frock coat of the lofty Bev- eridge order? Is it the nifty cutaway which went out some years ago, but has lately been trying to get back? Is it the ordinary sack coat of business the roundabout of Hoosier poesy Is it a pair of high-cut overalls2 Or is it flannel shirt set off by a ban danna and cartridge belt?
 The Oklahoma constitution that vol luminous and radical document, gave new treatment to lots of new ques- tions and provided plenteously for probable emergencies. But it seems to have forgotten about prescribing suit able garb for the head of the state on ceremonial occasions. The govern or, therefore, has issued, as it were his ukase, pronunciamento and decree to the effect that nobody at all need wear a c1awhammer at his ball Jim swingers for every man jack-that is his simple rule.
 If jimswinger is OklahOman for sack coat Cor possibly frock coaD, as seems likely, what is Oklahoman for derby hat, tan shoes, four in hand and dog skin gloves? What, even. is Oklaho- man for pants? It feels as if we were on the edge of a. notable enrichment of the anguage.-Chicag Record Hara Id

THE euLEsRA CUT LANDsLIDEs.

The CuIebra cut landslides are still q problem. Another has occurred which win call for considerable extra work to remove it, and the govern ment engineers are hoping that this menacing condition of the banks may be completely and permanently over come before the waters are allowed to flow in.
 Considering this latest obstruction the Providence Journal says:
 Every time a lands1ip occurs in Culebra cut 1t is well to ask ourselves what would have happened if a sea- level canal had been determined upon instead of canal with locks. If the decision had been in favor of a lock- less waterway the diggers would have been compelled to go eighty-five feet below the depth now settled upon at Culebra, and of course the downpour of loosened rock and soil would have been approximately greater. The oc- casional landslips. one of which has just been reported, are bad enough, but the engineers are confident that these will stop in time-long before the day arrives for the introduction of the waters of the Chagres river and Culebra lake into the deep pas- gage. To cart the fallen earth away adds to the expense and annoyance of the well-nish superhunan task, but it presents no novel or difficult prob lems"

GROWING CHRISTMAS TREES FOR
 THE MARKET.

While there is a general sentiment prevailing in New England against the cutting of Christmas trees the state forester of Massachusetts sees in it chance for profitable employment for those who have the enterprise to enter upon if.
 tree that grows in the soil of New England. as elsewhere, helps retain in the soil the moisture from the heav- ems. In a forested country this is giv- en out gradually to the streams in dry time, and a more constant flow is ob- tained. In such country as New England, business life depends largely on the flow of the streams.
 Tt may seem a far cry from the Christmas tree to the drying up of streams. but the principle is there, and if everybody treated our growing forests as the Christmas tree cutters do we would be doing irrepara bls damage to New England"
 Mir. Rane believes that it is feasible to raise Christmas trees for the mar kets and says that recently 8 man who was thinking of starting a large Christmas tree nursery in southern Vermont came to him for advice. MT. Rane suggested Norway spruce, as & variety that would grosv rapidly, re- quire practically no attention and would be ready for market in about ten years, yielding a good profit on the investment. Here is a suggestion for Connecticut farmers worthy of se- rious attention.

WHERE ALLieAToRs ABOUND.

Hunting alligators in South America cannot be very profitable, since the skins are sold at the rate of about seven for a dollar The government has been making inquiries as to alli- gator hides through the state depart nent of it's representatives in South America, and they have replied as follows:
 Consul Herman R. Dietrich of Guay- gull reports that 60.062, valued at sS,1SS. were shipped from Ecuador to the United States in ts09
 Consul Marion Letcher of Acapulco reports that the lagoons east and west of that Mexican port. running parallel with the ocean throughout the entire length of the state of Guerrero. abound in alligators, which are hunted by the natives, but the hunting is not conducted as a regular pursuit. A large portion of the catch comes to Acapulco.
 Consul Cornelius Ferris, Jr., of Asuncion. reports that alligators abound in large numbers in Para quay, but their skins are not of any commercial importance for lack of demand, but one of the leading export houses of Asuncion stands ready to quote prices c. i. f New York should a demand for the skins warrant.
 Consul Charles l.. Latham of Car tagena makes a similar statement as to the abundance of alligators in Co., lombia, which country now has no ex- port duty on alligator hides.
 Notice is given that the addresses of exporters of alligator hides are on file in the bureau of manufactures.

NEW INDUSTRIES OF HAWAII

The honey industry, which is com pafatfvely new is steadily growing. It now represents an investment of $2e0.- 00e, and yields annually about $l0,ooO worth of honey.
 The area in pineappIes is now about $500 acres and the sales of canned fruit in the United States have been extended, the pack being now nearly 500, ,00e cases annually.
 There are now six principal rubber plantations-four at Nahiki on Maui one at Punat (Hawaii). and one at kailua (Oahu), with a. total of 1,600 acres, containing 500 Castilloa. 66,700 Hevea, and 44,450 Ceara trees.
 Two tobacco companies have been incorporated, with capital of $50.o00 and $100,000, respectively, and have begun operations at Keokea, North Kona, South Kona and keauhou, re- spectively on the island of Hawaii. Attention has been devoted thus far to development and organization more than to production; but the company bales (about 5000 pounds), valued at $500, and it is expected that during the present year the two companies will crop 750 bales.
 The sisa1 industry has lately re- ceived new impetus The crop requires little cultivation. little capital and lit tie water. The cost of milling is small The yield of fiber averages about 500 pounds per acre per annum and the fiber is of the best quality. Five companies are working and about 5000 acres are under cultivation. The output last year was 100 tons, which sold at 1-2 cents per pound. In the coming year the output is expected to be 300 tons; at present the price has fallen to cents. The price obtained last year was $10 a ton over the price for Yucatan fiber. The United States requires about $13.000,000 worth an nually of raw fiber at cents per pound, and it is estimated that at that price there is available land in Hawaii for about ,O00 worth From report of the British consul at HO0Oll1II1
