TO PREVENT TIMBER DECAY.
Great Progress Made in Chemical Treat
ment of Wood

| The most notable progress yet record
ed in the chemical treatment OF timber
| to prevent decay was made in 1918, ac-
cording to a report issued by the Amer
lean wood preservers association in CO.
operation with the forest service OF the
department of agriculture.
| The report states that % wood-pre-
serving plants in 1918 consumed over
| l0s million gallons of creosote oil, 20
million pounds of dry zinc chloride, and
nearly 4 million gallons of other liquid
conservatives. With these the plants
treated over 153 million cubic feet of
timber. or about % per cent more than
in 1912 The output from additional
plants unrecorded would increase the
totals given.
Impregnation of wood with oils and
chemicals to increase its resistance to
decay and insect attack, the report
goes on to say, is an industry which
has become important in the United
States only in recent years. In Great
Britain and most of the European coun-
tries practically every wooden cross -tie
and telephone or telegraph pole receives
lpreservative treatment. In the United
States less than 30 per cent of the
1876 million cross ties annually consumed
are treated, and the proper treatment
of an annual consumption of million
poles may be said to have scarcely COM
menced.
Real progress in the United States
dates from 1882. when the kyanizing
process. using bichlorides of mercury,
was developed. In 1897 two other pro-
cesses we're introduced, the Burnett pro-
cess using zinc chloride, and the Bethel
process using coal tar ereosote. These
last processes are very largely in use
day.
The idea of timber preservation at
first made very slow growth in this
country. on account OF the large sup
ply-of cheap and durable timbers and
the general disregard shown toward econ
omv in the use of natural resources.
In 1885 there were only three pressure
plants in the United States; and in
1895 only 10 Since then, however, the
industry has grown rapidly; in 1913
there were III plants.

THRIFT CAMPAIGN PLANS

TT is proposed by the American So
ciety for Thrift that October be
: Thrift Month, during which every
effort shall be made to get a far
larger proportion of consumers than
make fresh start toward thrift.
Bills which are allowed to run by
people who have ample incomes add
to the cost of their living and the liv-
ing of others.
War may wake us up. The public
generally has become easy prey to the
schemes by which food prices are run
to boost prices on the preteXt of the
European war. at this stage of it, If
the public was as thrifty as the French
public, for instance. If housewives
generally knew the value of the things
they buy. and if men recognized the
importance of thrift and the simplicity
in the education of their children, we
would have in the United States to-
day, with the. European war begin
ming, a more encouraging prospect.
AS it is. some decisive steps must
be taken Systematically to arouse the
public to need for greater thrift.
greater respect for thrift, less ex-
travagance and more simplicity of liv-
ing. or the cost of living will so to in
tolerable heights and result in untold
hardships for the wage earners, the
small-salaried class and the small
tradesmen.
Judge Volney G. Gunnell, of the
Juvenile Court of ogden, Utah. wrote
thus: THAT instruction in and much
effort towards return to the purpose
and practice of thrift lies before US as
a pressing need, goes without saying.
Perhaps the majority of children
that come into the juvenile court are
the fruit, or their conduct and the con-
ditions are the result of the lack of
thrift, immediate or remote. Seeking
amusement, indifference to the saving
of time and money, and a lack of the
sense of personal responsibility, char
acterizes our young people to an
alarming extent, and older ones are to
a great extent the same"

bat, ball. mitts and gloves, the verdict
of boydom is that the thieves are
sneaks, and deserve a thrashing. They
usually get it.
Perhaps at that moment of time
the kidlets can realize how the gar
dener feels at the loss of the fruit of
the grape vine or melon patch on
labor.
In many localities people have
given up the home garden, as they
can't get the fruit. Even vegetables
are dug up by organized gangs of
prowlers. They come armed with
bags at night and stock up for the
winter.
All which tends to make the do
mestic and charming pursuit of gar
dening unpopular. Yet 1t seems a
laudable avocation and one to be en-
couraged. 1t helps a bit toward high
cost of living. and promotes health
and contentment. Hence there are
still old-fashioned people who con-
slider stealing fruit as very much like
stealing baseballs or money.

BRUMBAUGH ON LOCAL OPTION

Philadelphia Public Ledger
No one who knows the man has
been uncertain where DIR. Brumbaugh
stands on the local option question.
But an attempt has been made to
create the impression that he has been
talking about local option in general
terms for the sake of getting votes and
will betray its friends when elected.
No man with any pretense to intellec-
tual honesty can say hereafter that
DIR. Brumbaugh is straddling the ques-
ton, for his answers to the pastor of
the Second Presbyterian Church In
Pittsburg Sunday night were SO
straightforward and unequivocal that
there is no possibility of misunder-
standing his purposes. He not only
pledged himself to sign a local option
bill If it were passed, but to urge the
Legislature to pass a local option
measure, because, as he said, "I have
given my whole life to that sort OF
work"

SERIOUS NATIONAL MENACE

YMPATHY for the Southern cot
ton growers. who to-day are fac
ing the prospect of heavy losses
on their crops. should not blind
us to the great danger which turks in
Secretary McAdoo's proposal to en-
ploy cotton warehouse receipts as a
basis for the issue of bank currency,
according to the Boston Commercial
Bulletin.
The thing which must be constantly
borne in mind is the economic law
drive the dearer currency out of cir
culation. No power on earth, whether
it be Car. King, Parliament or Con-
gress, can permanently check the op-
Grafton of this law. 1t is as inevitable
as the ebb and flow of the tide. In
crease the silver or the paper cur
rency beyond certain well-defined
limits and the displacement of an
equal amount of gold is an absolute
certainty. Increase the volume of
cheaper currency without regard to
considerations of prudence and the
time will come when gold will entirely
disappear from the ordinary channels
of trade.
That the government acted wisely
in authorizing the issuance of ma
tional bank currency in accordance
with the provisions of the Aldrich-
Vreeland law of 1908 may be con-
ceded. Let 1t not be forgotten, how
ever. that the law in question was
designed to be used only in time of
emergency. Authorizing, as it does,
the use of a varied assortment of
bonds. securities and commercial pa
per as security for national bank
notes, it leaves the door open for an
enormous increase in paper currency
unattended by a corresponding in
crease in gold reserves. Here, then,
is a measure which, however bene-
fetal it might prove to he temporarily.
would be calculated to drive gold out
of circulation in the long run.
If Secretary McAdoo's suggestion is
sound, there is no good reason why
warehouse certificates for hundreds of
other classes of merchandise should
iiON THO bdSlS lOT currency.
Why are not wheat. corn, barley, sugar
or, for that matter, dry goods, boots
and shoes and other articles as suit
able for the purpose in question as
cotton? On what grounds could the
Secretary of the Treasury yield abun-
dant aid to the cotton growers and
refuse any assistance to many another
kind of producers with equal claims
upon the attention of a paternalistic
government?
The whole scheme is fundamentally
unsound. and unless the country
speedily wakes up to the fact we shall
again be launched into tumultuous
sea of fiatism. The time to lock the
barn door is before the horse is stolen.
So, too. the time to avert the danger
of fiatism is while we are still on an
actual gold basis.

" HAT portion of the Washington
party State organization domi-
\ mated by William Finn and the
machine element of the Demo-
cratic party in Pennsylvania fused
yesterday on the nomination for Gov
ernor by the substitution of Vance c.
Mccormick for the faint-hearted
William Draper Lewis. who was the
nominee in an open primary for the
chief magistracy of the State.
While this action is hailed as great
achievement by certain politicians, it
is really but a skeleton fusion-for
personal advantage on both sides.
William Finn does not control the
Progressives of the State. That was
demonstrated yesterday when several
men who have been Roosevelt men
from principle and from the very in
ception of the movement, refused to
accept the wealthy low tariff Demo-
cratic candidate without protest Other
men who have been in the Progress
i've fight were absent and others have
denounced the whole business as a
uSeAA' w ililiill llllil lldIluGl over the
nomination to Mccormick with an air
of a man who was transferring to one
for whom he personally cared little
a very disagreeable burden. McCor-
mick accepted the nomination because
he thought it might help him, but he
was unable to conceal his realization
that it was a group of field marshals
that was joining his colors, and let
slip a commendation of the President
whom Colonel Roosevelt denounces.
Mccormick goes on two tickets for
Governor. He will probably be on
more. He had the support of part
of the Democrats. Yesterday he Sc
cured the support of part of the Pro-
gressives. There are some other skele-
ton organizations which through ha-
tired, prejudice or cash might be in
duced to put his name on top of their
ballots.

THE MAINE ELECTION

[From the Philadelphia Press.1
In spite of the general collapse of
the Progressive party elsewhere there
is still enough of II left in Maine to
enable the Den. lcratic candidate for
Governor to get in by a small plu-
rality. The Republicans much more
than doubled the Taft vote of two years
ago, their gain being in fact 125 per
cent, while the Progressives have lost
So per cent of the Roosevelt vote.
This shows that the Progressive party
still has some power for evil in Maine
as assistant to the Democrats and has
given that party through the minority
in every district one Congressman and
the Governor of the State.
The Congressional delegation remains
unchanged politically. three Republi-
cans and one Democrat with no Sena-
tor to elect until 1916 A RepublicLl
Governor chosen when the opposition
to the Democrats was united gives
place to a Democrat beca' enough
former Republicans who have seen fit
to desert their party persist in that

desertion. althoush 1t is manifest that
its only effect, where it has any, is to
place and keep in power the party
whose principles these Progressives
have always opposed and still profess
to oppose.
To act as Assistant to the Democrats
with no prospect or hope of gaining
anything for themselves is so unsa tis-
factory that Progressives generally
have grown tired of 1t and are return
ing to their old party. 1t is an ignoBle
part to play and is responsible for all
the experimental and unwise legislation
that Democratic Congress and Ad-
ministration have placed upon the
country If Progressives are pleased
with the result then they are Demo-
Gratis at heart, and should join that
party openly. If they are not pleased
then they are following a course clearly
to their own hurt and disadvantage.
Persistence in this supreme folloy is
more than most voters will consent to
and the Progressive standard bearers
in most States lind their following
dwindling to insignificant proportions,
though in some localities as In Maine
1t may still be able to fill little longer
the role of Assistant to the Democrats.
