900 of the mbecame laws. No sane thinker can say that in ten years we need 16,000 laws at the hands of con- gress, to say nothing of the added tens of thousands more which state legislatures passed.
 The nation apparently has a mania for law-making, but sadly lacks eff ciency in law enforcement. The dis position is to enact every notion into law and consider this duty done, ev- en though the law promptly becomes a dead letter for lack of public sentiment on the subject that de- mands it's enforcement. The need of the day is not for more laws but for a better enforcement of existing laws. -EX,

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN FRANCE

Woman suffrage will be an issue in the general parliamentary elections in France in a few months. The uni versal suffrage commission, composed of forty members of parliament, has reported favorably to the Chamber of Deputies on the submission of the question to the voters. A preliminary poll indicates that large majority of the chamber will vote for the question. The only debated point is whether the women shall be allowed to vote on all questions and at all elections, or whether their franchise shall be limited to participation in municipal affairs.
 If equal suffrage carries at the com ing elections in France, it will show that the French people, who have usually been looked upon by Ameri- cans as indifferent to the advance ment of women in political affairs, have been more prompt to pay tru bute to the intelligence of the women than have the Americans with all their boasted desire for the recog- milton of the freedom and quality of women.

ON THE MAKING OF LAWS

/: The insistent contention of some corporations and industrial concerns that the sherman act is sufficient for the protection of the people against the operations of trusts and combina- tions in restraint of trade, has direct ed attention anew to the multiplicity of laws by congress and the legisla- lures of the various states and the percentage of them that become dead letters.
 The extra session of congress call ed about year ago for the enact ment of tariff law and a currency reform measure witnessed the intro duction of more than 12,O00 bills and resolutions. The last regular session of congress closed on March 4, 1913, with 35,O3S bills introduced of which $50 became laws. Meanwhile in AZ state legislatures 1895 bills were in 'troduced affecting railroads alone, and five times as many were introduced in : 1912. Of these bills PIP became laws. Comparison as we'll as numbers show the extent of our mania. The British parliament legislates not only for the empire, but for domestic affairs as do our state legislatures Yet in ten years ending with 1909 there were in troduced in parliament 6.251 bills. of . which 1882 became laws. At Wash ingtoh in the same time 146.471 bills were introduced in congress and 16,-

SEES IN FORESTS SOLUTION
 OF THE HIGH COST OF BEEF
Director Graves Tells of Great Ares
 Available For Forage.

Although the meat supply kept pace with population growth in the decade from 1899 to 1909, the price scared tc nearly double tlte 1899 figure, accord. ing to a Washington census bulletin just issued.
 Meat "on the hoof" went up 75.5 pei cent. The dressed product showed q slightly smaller increase, 73.s per cent
 Americans were eating 105 pounds of beef, veal and mutton per capita iD 1909 as against 1O6 in 1899. although the total per capita meat production in 1909 was 1O7 pounds.
 Sixty-five per cent of the meat sup, ply was furnished by the packing houses. The country's total product in 1909 was 9S,35S, ,s15 animals. The slaughter houses paid $1,2O2, ,S27, ,75a for their supply. The total meat sup ply was 9,7l9.O65. 600 pounds.
 Hope for the future meat supply of the country is held out in the annual report of Henry s. Graves, chief Of the United States forestry service. MT. Graves declares that the national for. ests under his supervision furnish abundant forage supplies, opportunity for the adoption of the best methods and freedom from live stock diseases.
 The forage resources of the national forests, the report continues, contrib ute to the maintenance of more than 100000 head of live stock. The re- caints from grazing. while second to those from timbering, last year were more than $1,O00,O00.
 Mir. Graves says that the forest serv' ice last year sold more than 2,OOO0OO,- poo board feet of timber. valued at S4,JOO.OOO on the stump. This is an increase of 1G7 per cent over the pre- vlous year.
 The total revenue of the service was slightly less than $2.50O00O

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IS
 THREATENED.

A federal judge in New York, says an exchange, has fined two reporters $500 each for contempt of court and threatens to keep them in jail until thev purge themselves of contempt by answering the questions asked them by the attorneys of the federal gov ernment. The reporters are accused of no crime. They printed advance news of two important smuggling cases, before they were made public by the Treasury Department. and re- fused to reveal the source of their information.
 The federal officials make no claim that any crime was committed by the reporters or that justice was defeated in any way The contempt consists solely in the refusal of the reporters to aid the United States district at torney in disciplining the member of his force who presumably gave the reporters their information. President Wilson, at the request of the Depart ment of Justice. wrote pardons in advance for the reporters, holding them secure of punishment if they would give up their informants' names. Of course, these pardons were refused, 1the reporters choosing to carry their appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. The re porters could not have done other wise, without earning the contempt of all citizens who despise the per son who betrays confidence.
 It will be well to have the case passed upon by the highest judicial tribunal for it raises the question whether public officials have any right to abridge the freedom of the press and create what in effect would amount to censorship. The Treas ury Departments position arrears extreme. Carried to it's logical con- clusion, the plea of fthe department would set up in this country an ab- SOiuteIy DuIeHucTdllc tOI lIOl Ol tlll information concerning governmental operations which is to reach the pup lie. If, as the district attorney has contended in these cases, the divulg- ing of information constitutes a crime for which both the giver and the newspaper man who accepts it are liable to punishment. no newspaper can hereafter, save at it's great per il, accept any news about government affairs not officially stamped with the approval of the head of depart ment. If no information regarding the doings of government departments is to be obtained save through the heads of the departments, no abuse will ever be exposed. The people will remain in ignorance of things they should know about their government, and the freedom of the press, guaranteed by the Constitution, will become an un'~ pleasant fiction.

CITRUS CANKER
SITUATION SERIOUS,

The Palatka board of trade received
a message yesterday morning from ].
B. O'Hara, secretary of the board of
trade at West Palm Beach, to this
effect:
"Palm Beach county is helpless in
its fight against the citrus canker,
which threatens the whole of Florida.
Please wire the Governor urging ex-
ira session of the legislature to take
up matter of relief at once"
Some infected nursery stock is re-
ported to have been sent to Melrose,
on the border line between this coun-
ty and Alachua, and where the four
counties Of Clay, Bradford, Alachua
and Putnam meet, but otherwise there
is no known case of citrus, canker in
this (Putnam) county. The growers
on the river and at Pomona, Crescent
City, San Mateo and other points in
the county are greatly worried lest
they become infected. There is no
money available in the State treasury
with which to carry on a successful
fight against this new disease which
has been introduced and which may
work destruction of the citrus fruit in
dustry, and The Palatka News be-
lieves that if the officials at the Flor
ida Experiment Station say the word,
that Gov. Trammell ought to call a
special session of the legislature to
make provision for its eradication.
