FIFTY YEARS AFTER GETTYS-

There can no longer be doubt
about the efficacy of time as healer
of wounds. Fifty years ago ,wo
great armies, the pick of the north
on one side, the flower of the south
ern Confederacy on the other, bat
tied at Gettysburg, and on that field
that for three days ran red with the
life blood Of a nation the fortune of
civil strife was turned. The two
armies were composed of tried vet
erans, men who had become steeled
to the clash of arms, and who no
longer faltered in the face of dead
ly charge. Each side battled with
desperation, fighting to avenge the
loss of comrades who had fallen in
previous combat, the northern troops
to stop the advance of Lee, while
Lees men were pressing forward 70

gained in the months that had pass
ed, and to invade the home territory
of their northern opponents. 1t was
the battle that paved the way for the
subsequent victory of union arms
that pointed toward Vicksburg, that
marked the beginning of the end
Because it was fraught with so much
of consequence it was a key battle OF
the great strife, and war spirit on
each side ran high
But fifty years later We see the
survivors of this greatest conflict Of
modern arms meet again upon Get.

PROTECTION FOR THE TIMBER


Forest fires have played havoc
with many Of the best timbered dis
tricts Of the west, but till the values
of stumpage became greater little
attention was paid to the yearly toll
TO the flames, II is little less than a
crime, however, to allow many Of
these forest conhagrations that can
be just as well prevented. as many
OF them can, The forestry service
has taken the lead in forest proteC-
tion, and now able assistance is be-
ing given by the various state legis-
llatures through protective laws,

FREE GLAZED

Announcement that the Depart

When asked what effect the pro-
posed elimination of the 10 per cent.
tariff on glazed kid, would have on
local industries, j. Edgar Rhoadcs
said he was afraid that it would af-
feet some of the local plants SER
iously. Mr. Rhoades said that he did
not believe that putting leather ma
chinery on the free list would affect
/ the local plants so much as there
was little in the way Of foreign ma
chinery that they wanted.
Another manufacturer said that he
! did not believe the proposed reduc-
/ tion in the tariff on glazed kid would
work any injury to local manufac-
turers since practically no glaze kid
is sent into this country from abroad.
Furthermore. he said that he did not
think that the removal of all duty
would cause any great amount to be
shipped in as the English. French
and German kid was inferior in quail
ity to that finished here. He said
that u view OF the fact that this city
and Philadelphia is now exporting
yearly about S20O0O,0OO worth OF
glazed kid he did not see how the
elimination OF the tariff could Grip
pic local factories. In addition. he
said. that he thought there was little
to fear in the way Of English shoes
being imported into this country be-
cause Of the inferior grade Of shoes
made in England.
