This represents a total of approximate
- 5000 acres planted during the last

| vice, we should he reforesting 1000
acres annually. Something is wrong
/ somewhere, and Vermont must take
thoughtful reflection lest she arrive at
the stage of forest denudation when,
in place of our treasured Green Noun
'ains We too shall have Acres of Desc
!ation. This must not be. Surely the
people of Vermont will not bring such
calamity to their very doors
Is forest planting safe investment
for the average Vermont land owner? A
plantation Of white pine 40 years old will
cut an average Of 5000 feet per acre.
The area already planted in Vernon:

feet At $40 per thousand feet this
means a value on the stump Of $3.50, 900
The average pasture in Vermont will
return a net income of less than sl0o
an acre a year. and many are not earn
ing enough to pay the taxes. In forty
years this acre would yield a net income

plantation costing $40 to establish will
return net income which ranges from
S73 to 1927 an acre. or what value to the
Vermont farmer or land owner is an
acre of waste land. on-productive" OBJ
Viously, such an acre Is of little value
Whether 1t is returning a suitable rev.
enue to the farmer or not. he still must
meet the taxes on the land. The ex-
penses Of the town go on regardless of
! the dcnuded areas. Only man of
wealth can afford to own unproduC-
tive land. According to law taxation
of forest plantations in Vermont is linn
tied Forest fires, the most harmful
enemy OF young trees, are being brought
under better control every year through
an efficient warden and patrol system
The danger now is not sufficiently great
to cause any person thinking of reforesta-
ton to hesitate for a moment. Because of
/ the present organization, forest fire risk
is less per acre in Vermont than in New
York, Maine, Massachusetts. Rhode Is
land, or New Jersey. Any other risks
outside Of these which | have mentioned
are very slight. Deer have done some
damage. but not as much as they have
done to agricultural crops. The damage
done by insects and fungi to plantations
has been less than that done in the case
of agricultural crops.

PLANS FENDER FIGHT
In an effort to stop issuance of
city certificates of approval to fen
ders for auto trucks which passed
tests of the engineering department,
Edward PVerdahI, truck fender own
er whose article did not pass the
test, filed suit for an injunction today
before Judge Smith. Vim. A. Jen-
nings, his attorney, is also attorney
for0the Motor Truck Owners assn,
big business organization which has
been fighting the plan Of the city
council to place protecting tenders
on every auto truck in Chicago.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-11-01

referred to the present campaign as
an animal show. 1--WE find the De-
mocratic donkey with his tail and
head high in the air, flying serenity
onward. We see the camel going
drunkenly along, yet not taking a
drink or wanting anybody else to
take one. The G. o. P elephant
seems to be having the toughest
time. He is overwhelmed. Besides
the Republicans he has got the quit
ters' of the Progressive ranks and
the moneyed men of Wall street to
carry along. A new party should be
organized with the COW as its en-
bIem. That would take in all the old
guard and the moneyed crew. What
crew is more MIXED than the Wall
street bunch of milliOnaires? Hence
the COW for their emblem"
Parker called the issues of the Re
publican party an insult to the intel
Ggence of the American people. He
said that Wilson was not a president |
of the Democrats, but of all the peo-
pie. He referred to Roosevelt as the |
man who said he was going to drop |
completely out of politics" the man |
who backed Taft one year and then |
fought him four years later, the man |
who helped make the Progressive |
party and then ditched it, and the |
man who was now attacking the ma
tons chief executive.
Parker read a statement that Ray |
mond Robins made in Chicago in |
October. The statement was as fol-
lows: "The most skilled, the most |
courageous, the greatest statesman
ship of the last two years was the
manner in which Woodrow Wilson
aVeTted war between this country and
Mexico. The reason that the blood of
American nen-sons of our homes
is not today reddening the sands of
Mexico to serve the interests of the
few corDoratjOn na0nates and spec-

shown by the chief of an opposing
party" Parker then asked what
Robins was doing on the G. o. P. side
of the fight.
Albert D. Nortopi compared the
progressive situation to a story about
an Indian who was asked if he had
lost his Wigwam. The Indian replied:
"Injun no lost wigwam. Just lost
horse that pulls it." He said the Pro-
gressives were in the same boat. eve
are following a new leader of pro-
gressiVe principles in Wilson. The
party is not lost"
DR.. Clarence B. StroUse of Vir-
ginia called Roosevelt the Alexander
Dowie of American politics. 'In my
opinion" said Strouse, $40 per cent
of the real progressives will vote for
Wilson. Some of the so-caIled pro-
gressives are pie-hUnters on the
Hughes side"
Every speaker urged those pres
ent, and, in fact, all real progressives
to vote for Wilson. Before the meet
ing started the whole audience stood
up and sang Onward Christian Sol
diers" with the same punch that the
Progressive party sang it four years
ago.
A letter endorsing wilson from
Jane Adams was read. Also were
kilograms from LUcius F. Garvin of
Rhode Island, Ole Hanson of Wiscon-
sin, Gov. Carey of Wyoming, R. R.
Fairfax of Virginia, Matthew Hale of
Massachusetts and Hugh T. HaIbeTt
of Minnesota.

Perspiring and Expiring Moosers.

The near-riot at Syracuse Saturday
was more entertaining than important.
Bull moosers opposed to the indorse-
ment of Mr.. Hughes prevented indorse-
ment, though there was no clear test of
sentiment at tho meeting. Both sides
express satisfaction with the result
There will not be another effort to com
NIT the New York bull moosers by
formal action to the Hughes candidacy.
The situation in New York is very
much as in other states. Leaders of the
bull moose movement while it was ma
tional force are now Hughes men. Real
iZing that their own party was dead,
and that they should choose between
the two old parties, they chose the re-
publican party. As nearly all Of them
had previously been republicans the
choice was easy. They knew the way
back home, and took it.
These men in 1912 believed not only
in their cause, but in their ability to
win with it. Not one of them was act
ing consciously as an assistant demo
crat. Not one Of them desired to see
Mr.. Wilson elected. All had faith in
Mr.. Roosevelt, and figured that he would
be the next President.
1t turned out, however, that by their
course they gave the victory to Mr.. Viii
son The democratic candidate fhnu0h

thousand votes, defeated the divided op-
position.
In Office Mr.. Wilson has not satisfied
a single man who supported Mr.. Roose-
welt in 1912. Every delegate to the bull
moose national convention Last month
subscribed to Mr.. Roosevelt's publicly
expressed opinion Of Mr.. Wilson and
his record as President. All wanted
him defeated for reelection, and were
urging the nomination Of Mr.. Roosevelt
on the republicans to that end.
Why, then, should any bull mooser
hold out for independent action, local
or national, this yearf Nothing could
be clearer than that either Mr.. Wilson
or Mr.. Hughes will win. There is not
a bull mooser anywhere of the opinion
that any bull moose candidate for any
office, state or national, can be elected.
Whatever bull moose demonstrations
are made, therefore, will be, in effect
if not in intent, for the benefit of the
democratic party.
Naturally, the democratic managers
are encouraging the irreconcilables.
They would prefer straight vote for
Wilson, but will, of course, be glad of
a vote withheld from Hughes and cast
for some bull moose impossibility.
Col. John NJ. Parker's call for a new
bull moose national convention has not
been received with enthusiasm. As a
tail without kite he doubtless feels
useless and lonesome, and seeks relief.
But real relief is not in sight.

Is calculated to develop the fanatic ele-
ments that are latent in every COM
munity, and give occasion to an out
burst Of insane rage. The great mis-
fortune Of such matter is that wholly
innocent people are sacrificed. The vic
Tins Of the San Francisco outrage we're
not selected. The bomb, contained in a
suit case filed with missiles, was set
down close to the watching crowd at a
certain point. 1t might have been placed
anywhere along the line. Had the per-
petrator of this crime been balanced in
mind, thinking to arrest public atten-
ton by protest against preparedness, he
could have arranged a harmless explo-
sion that would have scattered broad
cast announcements of his principles
with the warning that a deadly bomb
could as readily have been fred.
