Politics And The Currency.

Editorial in The Kansas City Star:
1--WE know whatever decision we
make" Secretary McAdoo said. when
he was in Kansas City, "the disap-
pointed cities will be ready to lynch
u.s." The storm Of angry protest now
arising from the cities that wanted
federal reserve banks and did not get
them shows he was right.
It was a tremendously hard job that
fell to Secretary McAdoo, Secretary
Houston and Comptroller Williams as
the committee to outline the districts
and locate the banks. The committee
applied itself to the task conscien-
tionsly and thoroughly. It made a
tour Of the country and listened to
the claims presented by the various
cities. It studied the briefs which they
filed.
The decision was finally made with
scrupulous regard for the facts of
trade and m er
It was natural that the cry of "poli-
TICS should be raised. But on this
subject the people Of Kansas City can
speak from personal knowledge. If
| the committee had been Influenced by
political considerations there would
have been no bank in Kansas City!
From the political STANDPOINT n pank
from a state would have been suffi
Gent. Missouri would have beer
"taken care Of" by st. Louis.
It would have been natural for the
| committee to turn to Denver, whose
geographical location, to people unfa-
miliar with western conditions. would
have seemed ideal. Moreover. Colorado
Is represented by two democratic SEN
ators who were of material help to
the president in his legislation.
But, of course, financial and trade
| conditions did not warrant establish
ing a bank at Denver. The commit
tee chose Kansas City because these
conditions pointed inevitably toward
Kansas City. In making this choice
it knew it was throwing away an OPP
portunity to make political capital
But this knowledge did not serve 1t
from its duty.
The committees action in the case
Of Kansas City is a guarantee that all
its work was conducted on the same
high plane. A less conscientious board
| might have yielded to politics. The
| country was fortunate In having the
| services of men of the quality Of Nc
Adoo. Houston and Williams in max
| ing a series of decisions of so much
importance for the future commercial
| PROGRESS of the nation.

NAY BLOCK -.
49, BIRD GUARD

New York, April 16.-That q half
dozen United States senators on the
senate agricultural committee now
threaten to defeat the will of the
Whole American people by refusing
any appropriation to enforce the Nc
Lean law for the protection of the ma
TONS migratory birds, was declared by
officers Of the National Association Of
Audubon Societies in New York. Aft
er writing warnings to the 200, 600
representatives of his organization all
over the country, T. Gilbert Pearson,
secretary of the national Audubon
body, rushed to Washington to protest
to h members Of the senate commit
tee on agriculture against the adoption
lsof the amendment to the agricultural
APP ropriation bill introduced by Rob-
inson Of Arkansas, cutting off all ap-
propriationG for this federal bird law
and leaving it practically a dead letter.
Unless the bird lovers Of the land at
once protest to their senators against
this cutting off of the 500, 600 asked
by the friends of the biological survey
Of the department Of agriculture to
supply Wardens to guard American
bird life. the conditions of migratory
bird b%utchery, to remedy which the
whole American people asked for the
Mclean bill, will continue, it is de-
clared.
Backed by the market butchers of
game and greedy hunters in various
sections of this country, every effort
to nullify the effect of the Mclean
law, giving Uncle Sam authority to
guard his bird focks as they pass from
state to state, has been made at Wash
workers, who labored faithfully among
those who wanted to have this meas
ure put on the federal statute books.
Such selfish interests are now known
to be rejoicing in the attitude Of the
congressman. who cut the required ap-
preparation for it's enforcement in half,
and of the senators, who are now in
financial support.
"Unless the people Of the whole
country Immediately demand of their
senators that the Mclean measure.
which they supported for its general
protection of migratory birds, be en-

FIR NOW COUNTED
AS A PULP WOOD.

The balsam fir, a tree which a few
years & was considered of little VAL
ne, is now in demand for pulp wood, is
the statement made by the United
States department OF agriculture in a
bulletin Issued on the subject. ,
This demand has been brought about,
says the department, by the enormous
expansion of the pulp industry during
| the last two decades, with its present
consumption of three and a quarter
million cords of cOniferous wood and
the consequent rise in the price OF
spruce, the wood most in demand for
paper making. In addition, the de-
partment goes on to say, balsam has
begun to take the place OF spruce for
| rough lumber, laths and the like, as the
price Of the latter wood has risen. .
The chief objection to the use of
large amounts of balsam fir in, the
ground pulp process of paper making
Is said to be due to the so-Called pitch
in the wood, which Injuries the felts
and cylinder faces upon which the pulp
is rolled out. Balsam fir does not have
which gums up the cylinder probably
J comes from grinding balsam under con-
. ditions adapted to spruce wood. Yet
from 10 to 25 per cent and possibly
more Of balsam can be used in ground
pulp without lowering the grade of
the paper produced. 1t is known that
1 with balsam logs left lying in water.
over a season this drawback practically
disappears.
In chemical pulp. produced through
the action OF acids, these acids are
known to dissolve the pitch, and In
amount of balsam can be used. though
some assert hat too much balsSa in
the pulp gives a paper that lacks
| strength, snap and character.
At the present time balsam fir fur
nishes about 6 or 7 per cent of the
| domestic coniferous wood used by the
country's pulp industry. The tree it
self constitutes, numerically, about 20
per cent of the coniferous forest of
| Northern New York and Maine, and is
| abundant in many parts of New Hamp-
| shire, Vermont and in the swamps of
northern Michigan. northern Wisconsin,
and Minnesota. It readily reforests cut
over areas and attains a size suitable
| for pulp wood in short time.

forced with adequate financial appro-
priation, u native birds will be
butchered as Of old and the will of the
people will be treated as a farce" said
T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary Of the
National Association OF Audubon So
c~ieties, at its headquarters, 1874
Broadway, today. "Without the $780,
900 required to supply wardens to
check the slaughter of migratory birds
forbidden under this law, the authorl-
ty of the federal government in the
matter will become a joke to the mar
ket shooters who cannot be made to
respect it. Every man, woman and
child Of the millions that supported
this measure to save American bird
life, should at once protest to their
senators against this bold attempt to
render it a dead letter"

TRANSFORMATION Problem.

Present tendencies Of designing
central stations for supplying power
to large districts and Of concentrating
their output in a. few mammoth
generating units have given rise to
transport problems not always suf1i-
GENTLY appreciated, says Power. In
connection with an installation in the
Argentinian Corderillas, the cost Of
transport rose to enormous figures.
Even the masonry walls entailed ten
times the usual price. In such cases
the bricks have frequently to be con-
veyed great distances by mules or by
camels, as in Egypt.
The absence Of cranes. winches,
trucks Of sufficient capacity, etc., may
compel the engineer to invent new
methods. AS an example, large boil
ers, and even gas tanks, have, like
ship hulls, been floated by their own
buoyancy On rivers, or at the ~seacoast
from one place to the other. This
course must be adopted in the absence
OF transport vehicles of sufficient size,
or when they cannot come close to the
unloading station. Such remarkable
sea trips have been made by some
sulzer fire tube boilers installed at the
lead and silver mines Of A1magrera,
Spain. near the Me"OlLSEIGnSau COdBt.
since the boilers. on account of their
mechanical strength, could pass the
breakers without any danger. they
were readily hauled to the coast from
the transatlantic steamer anchored at
the roadstead. #
In transporting q heavy Sulzer steam
engine destined for a spinning mill in
the interior Of Russia. bridges had to
be constructed especially for the pur-
pose.
such transport work Ia frequently
made even more difficult by lack of
| skilled workmen, although this de-
hciency may be made up by the num-
bers,
Unexpected difficulties may occur In
the winter when the rivers are frozen,
Ia disagreeable surprise was expert
enced In connection with a large
steam engine to be conveyed up
| stream from the mouth Of the Dnieper.
Since the river was not free from ice
and no delay was permissible, i'm 1T
ting UP the engine, it had to be taken
to pieces, the parts transported over
the country road to the spot, which, OF
course. took many days.

Dowager Empress Haruko Of
Japan, aged "a. Is dead. She was
the widow Of Emperor Mutsuhito.
She had done much for the women
Of Japan, and the freedom now
theirs is largely due to her. She
struggled long to free them from
the old customs and laws by
which they had been almost slaves.
This came about through studying
the civilization Of Europe and Am
erica, which she took up with the
emperor. She was responsible for
many foreign customs introduced
into the life of the court.

Jane Adams on the
Foreign Vote

Il vas a Judge OF election last spring
in the precinct where Hull House stands"
said Miss Adams in one Of her ad-
dresses. Almost all of the voters were
foreigners and It was a great satisfaction
to me TO see what good Judgment the
women showed There was one Irish
woman. very bright, who could not read,
and therefore was allowed TO go into
the booth with her to help her mark her
ballot. The first proposition was about
bonds for new hospital. The Irish
woman said: Is the same bunch to
spend the money that run the hospital
We have now? Then I'm against it,
The next proposition was about a sub
way; the next about a hospital for con-
tagious cases, and so on. There were
ten propositions to be acted upon. I
was scrupulous not to influence her: yet
on nine Of them, she voted, from her own
common sense, just as the Municipal
league and the City club had recommended
as the result of painstaking research. 1t
reminds me of what John Morley said
that the elector is not expected to be an
expert, but to express the mind of the
common people, and that the most valu-
able voter is the person who knows most
about social misery and the ways in
which it can be mitigated. Any woman
Woo gives her mind to 1t can vote in
