OUR LOSS FROM FOREST FIRES.

Forest fires have cost this country fabulous
sum. The damage in the last two decades probably
exceeds the amount of the national debt. New Jer-
sey Is not noted for extensive forest area, but
It's fires In that time have cost millions. This year
the loss was extraordinarily large
Why this enormous loss and waste of American
timber? Forest fires infrequent in Europe, and
when started are soon controlled. There are many
miles of splendid forests that have stood undamaged
by the fire fend for half century. And why this
difference?
In Europe there forestry laws and regulations
that are scrupulousy enforced In the United States
there Indifferent forestry laws and regulations
that are either inef1cently enforced not enforced
at all. In Europe there is system. In the United
States there is little system. The best regula-
tion we have is that of the federal government, and
the worst is State control In no European state
would hunters be permitted the license given to them
in Jersey to start confagrations to sweep over
miles of the woodlands.
And nobody seems to 1t is nobody's busi-
ness to protect the forests from the fire vandal or
any other kind of enemy of the forest When the
Legislature meets probably the forest fire experience
in New Jersey this will have been entirely for
gotten.

STOCK EXCHANGE OPENING.

The opening of the stock exchanges after having
been closed for long period following the outbreak
of the European war with Its disastrous consequences
and imminent peril of national calamity, may turn
out to be wise step If it proves otherwise common
sense prudence will close them again /
Financial and business conditions in the United
States have vastly improved and improving every
day. and with this steady improvement confidence is
rapidly returning. An immense foreign export trade
is in progress and will continue indefinitely, making
large compensation for the loss Of ordinary
ports We have Mquidated enormous amount of our
debt to Europe. OF the gold pay our obltga-
tons millions are returned for the purchase of food
and supplies.
The new banking and currency system is the prin-
cipa basis for encouragement. With the support and
credit of the government the machinery of the new
system is expected safeguard the country against
panic, and that relieves apprehensiye
minds.
What the nation urgently needs is mer-
chant marine of dimensions to give outlet for the
vast foreign trade that awaits transportation facili-
ties In whatever way we can this marine,
whether by private or government enterprise, 1t
should be done without delay So far the act of
Congress- egazing the registry of foreign ships has
had disappointing results But national skies
clearing AS we have suffered from the dire effects
of the European war, we are now beginning to
experience its inevitable benefits.
There is one fact that has been overlooked in the
general disturbance. American farming interests
have been tremendously benefited. The seasons
crops worth hundreds of millions more than
the farmers would have received if there had been
no war And the farmer Is the conservator of the
nations prosperity. 1t is the farmer who fills the
Eastern factories with orders. keeps the wheels of
industry going and loans his earnings to the banks

A MEXICAN CENSORSHIP NOW.

The new administration of Vera Cruz takes ex-
mpe from the European powers. The authorities es-
ablished corps of six to supervise all cable
nitted to be made known by cable to the outside
word except what the censors may deem proper.
There is widespread complaint about the stric-
ness and stupidity of British censorship. The Eng
ish newspapers complain bitterly of this censor
ship which mutates and takes all the sense out Of
foreign cables to these papers. American journalism
no less resents the unwarranted interference with
news dispatches to the United States.
But what will Mexican censorship at Vera Cruz
be? With control of the cable and the power to cut
out or change dispatches Mexican censor will
go the limit" General Funston exercised a mild
censorship dispatches but only to the ex-
of curbing the propensity of recklessy sensa-
tional correspondents to dish up imaginary Mexican
horrors for their newspapers

Contagious Foot and Mouth Disease

Smacking of the tongue is a char
acteristic symptom of the disease.
Animals become quite lame when the
feet are severely attacked. Sheep
suffer the most in this way. Hogs
also have the foot LESSONS, but may
show vesicles upon the snout. 1t is
possible for horses to be attacked, but
that seldom or never occurs.
The virus of the disease always
comes from a pre- existing outbreak
of the disease and is conveyed in
hides, hair, wool, horns, hoofs. litter,
feed and on the boots and clothing Of
persons. 1t may also be carried from
farm to farm by vermin, dogs, birds
and in the air, when dried vesicles

one outbreak In this country it was
caused by imported vaccine against
smallpox. The disease always is
present in some foreign country, hence
the enforced. quarantine of sixty days
upon all cloven-footed animals COM
ing to us from abroad.
While the disease usually runs
mild or benign course and the aff1ict-
ed animal finally makes q complete
recovery, it Is not left immune to
second or third attack. Immunity Is
slight and a COW has been known to
suffer three attacks In one year. For

ness of the disease and the great
economical losses entailed by it's rapid
spread, the only right way of dealing
with an outbreak is instantly to kill
all diseased and exposed cloven- footed
animals and bury the carcases deeply
In quicklime. Thus the disease is
stamped out" Immediately. At the
same time the strictest possible quar-
antine has to be maintained as re-
CARDS the infected farms. premises
and districts, and all movement in
animals, except for immediate slaugh-
ter, has to be stopped by law until the
disease has been controlled and all In
fected places have been thoroughly
cleansed and disinfected. These are
the control measures at present being
enforced by the bureau OF animal in

board exhausted its funds and appealed TO the
ernor for relief through some form of legislative
tion. The governor gave the board comparatively
small sum out of his so-called emergency fund.
If the pestience spreads and great losses are in
aicted upon the State we will pay dearly for our
policy. An emergency fund is used only
for emergencies and as long it is not needed can
be continued from year to year. The governor OF
New Jersey can be trusted not to get away with IT,
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1914-11-25

This malady. which unfortunately
is prevalent at the present time, is
the most infectious disease affecting
cloven-footed animals. 1t does not or
dinarily cause death, the percentage
of loss not exceeding 0.02 to 0o5 In
the most unfayorable circumstances
and conditions, but it leads to great
financial losses in that it prevents
cattle from thriving, induces serious
suppression of milk, may cause abor-
tion, and being so infectious necessi-
tates strict quarantine and restriction
of marketing of live animals and
milk. It is virulent for cattle and also
attacks sheep, swine and goats. Man
may be affected by drinking raw rlilk
of an affected animal, but milk is
perfectly safe If boiled or pasteurized
to 140 degrees. This disease Is quite
rare in man.
CONTAGIOUS foot and mouth disease
also is known as Contagious aphtha,'
and is caused by q virus so minute
that it never has been seen by the
strongest microscope and passes
through a porous filter of porcelain.
1t therefore is technically termed an
ultra microscopic" or filterable virus.
The virus in its pure state is found In
vesicles (blisters) which appear upon
the lining membranes of the mouth
and tongue and upon the teats and
skin of the feet. The vesicles rup-
ture and the fluid they contain may
contaminate milk or spread the dis
ease to other animals upon pasture,
litter, feed and through the medium
of the milk. Hogs generally become
affected through the drinking of milk
whey or buttermilk. The disease
makes its appearance in from one to
five days after exposure; in rare cases
It may remain dormant for eleven
days. The attacked animal first
shows fever. lack of appetite and
drooling of saliva; then the vesicles
appear ando fever abates. The vesicles
rupture in from one to three days.

and gradually heal in from two to
three weeks from the time of the at

THE LEGISLATIVE ORGANIZATION.

The Republican Senators and Assemblymen have
acted wisely IN holding their oaucuses in November
10 agree upon the organization of the two houses in
January By SO doing they will have shut on all
intrigue closed the to possible dissensions and
settled all doubt and disputes.
In years gone by the organization Of Senate and
House each year was preceded by activity all over
the State by Legislators and politicians in forming
combinations based on the legislative patronage
Members of the Legislature bartered their votes
for the sake of getting votes for their county cand-
dates and this without the slightest regard for the
fitness of the men they voted for. There were pro-
longed struggles and occasionally caucus bolts, all
inspired by greed for legislative jobs.
Every man who has kept track of State and legis-
Iatve politics for the last thirty knows that
the character and quality of the Legislature has
gradually improved For thing, there is much
less of the bitter spirit of partisanshp which divided
each chamber into Two hostile camps There is also
more individual probity and real interest in
what concerns the material welfare of the State.
This can be said of the Legislature when In con-
troll of either political party. The best legislation
the State has had in fifty years or more has been
Witnessed in the last ten years In that time the
legislature has doubled the railroad taxes, increased
he inheritance tax. made the Fish and Game Com
mission sef-sustaining and increased the States
aomic resources in other ways.
The workmens compensation law, the full
ct and other similar laws testify to the increased
interest of the Legislature in the welfare of human
eings. The anti-water diversion act was also an
vidence of policy to protect the States resources
rom the encroachments of predatory corporations.

ersey Legislature than its successful resistance to

Catherine of Braganza had scarce

country and family to become the
wife Of Charles H., King of England
She took with her to the high sta

or politics. She could speak no
Language but her own, and she was
utterly innocent of the ways Of the
world or of courts. But she did have
a simple, childish sort of piety and
devotion, which carried her through
many of the hardships that she had
to endure.
With her piety the little Queen
Catherine was fond of simple pleas

She was q devotee of cards and

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Why Speaker Reed Failed to Score in New York

When Thomas B. Reed resigned his
seat in Congress and announced that
he had retired permanently to private
life, having accepted an offer of a
partnership with q prominent law
firm in New York city, 1t was the
general expectation that he would
speedily enter upon a practice which
would be as remunerative and con-
spicuous as was the professional prac-
tice which was gained by Roscoe
Conkling after he resigned his seat in
the United States Senate in 1881 and
opened law Office in New York city.
Conklin always attracted great
throng when 1t was announced that he
would argue a case in court That was
true not only of New York, but also
of other places where Conklin went to
attend a session in court. In Kansas
City, for instance a multitude fol-
lowed Conkling's footsteps to the
courthouse and filed the courtroom
to overhowing, intent upon seeing and
hearing him.
Ex-Speaker Reed had obtained in
New York city a reputation for intel
lectual ability, for powers Of sarcasm,
and for biting wit which was not less
than Conkling himself had gained for
like qualities. He was at the time
he began practice in New York easily
the most conspicuous member of his
party. excepting Mckinley and per-
haps two or three others who were
then in public life.
After Mr.. Reed had been in New
York a year or two there began to
be heard comment in various places
where lawyers and men of affairs met
which related to the curious and unex-
pected failure of Mr.. Reed to hold in
New York the position he had OBJ
tanned when he was in public life.
All sorts of explanations were given
for his apparent lapse from conspic-
uous position to the reverse of that.
Some thought that he had exhausted
his noWers while serving aa sneaker:
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1914-11-25

others were of the opinion that his
heart was broken when he failed to
receive the Republican nomination
for President in 1896.
Upon one occasion, in hearing be-
fore ex-Judge Choate, In which Mr.
Reed and his partners took part as
counsel for one of the parties, had
opportunity to observe him. / was
astonished to discover a sort of Ian
guild manner. He appeared to be list
less. His mind seemed to be on
other things than the case which
Judge Choate was hearing as referee.
The thought occurred to me that pos
sibly Mr.. Reed might be in bad
health, but an hour later in the COR
ridor of the building he met a warm
personal friend, and when he entered
into conversation with him he was
the old Tom Reed. There was even
the same squeak in his voice.
After Mr.. Reeds death I was told
that the real reason for Reeds ap-
parent failure in New York was,
first, the fact that he had accumu
lated handsome furtune, so that he
had no need to exert himself, and,
second. because he felt that his ca
reer was well rounded out, and he
was, therefore. justified in taking all
the leisure he wanted for the kind
of reading, especially French, OF
which he was fond, and also for
meeting men who had achieved
greatly and matching wit with them.
Had he been so disposed he un-
doubtedly could have gained high
professional education and a very re-
munerative practice. Mr.. Reed once
told me that he was naturally a lazy
man, although capable of great
spurts of industry, and it may be
that he felt the time had come when
he could indulge freely in his natural
disposition.
