CHANGE IN METHODS
This is Plea Made BY Forestry Service
Backed BY the Federal Trade
Commission.

Washington, Jan. ga plea for
complete re-alisnment Of the lumber
industry so as to eliminate specu-
lat.ve forest ownership. over-cutting
and tendency to disregard the pub
lie interest in regulating production,
was made by the forest service to-
night in statement concurred in by
the federal trade commission, sum-
marking survey Of the industry just
completed by the two bodies
The productive branch of the
lumber business, declares the report,
has been interlocked too largely with
speculations in its raw material and
has been made frequently to serve
the exigencies OF timber speculation" I"
It adds that the result has been ILL
adjustment leading to almost chronic
over-production," making unwarrant-
ed inroads upon forest resources al
ready becoming inadequate to the
countrys needs.
Agitation for industrial combina-
tons for regulating production and
prices is condemned as leading to
restraint OF trade and Offering no
adequate solution Of the problem, but
the report advocates such forms Of
cooperation as trade associations and
selling agencies safeguarded by pub
lie supervision and regulation"

QUIT TINKERlNG.

1t has been proposed that the legis-
la.ure shall name a man as president
emeritus of the agricultural college
Il has been proposed that the legisla-
rure shall prescribe course of study
for the same institution. The legisla-
ture has in former years prescribed
the teaching of certain specific sub
jects IN the common schools. One
measure recently introduced propos-
es that school children shall be given
special instruction in the danger OF
walking on a railroad track. Anoth-
er requires the giving Of special in
struction in how 10 escape from a
prairie fire. And so it goes.
One thing Of which our school sys-
TEN is sadly in need is that we quit
tinkering with il. The legislature OF
the state is no more competent to se-
lecc a course OF study for a school
than it is TO prescribe the manner in
which doctor shall saw off leg. 1t
is one Of the misfortunes Of the
schools that the legislature has un-
derta ken 20 pass laws on subjects re-
lating 70 them which should have
been left to the professional skill and
common sense of capable persons
chosen 20 administer their affairs
Our school laws are in need OF
amendment. Our school courses are
in need of revision. But there is no
need for tinkering in relation to eth
er. The selection of school officers
and the arrangement of courses OF
study are duties that can be perform
ed intelligently and efficiently only by
persons who have. the time and the
opportunity to make a special study OF
that class of work and the capacity to
put into force that which their good
sense tells them IS necessary The
thing TO do IS to wipe out lot Of ou,
school legislation. simplify and sys-
tematize the remaining laws, place
the work in charge OF competent per
sons. ard then let it alone. Above ali
things. let us Quit tinkering.

VESSELS CARRIED GOLD
Precious Metal Reported to Have
Been Part OF Cargo of Three
Steamers from Baltimore.

Baltimore. d.. Jan. 24.-It was re-
ported in local shipping circles today
on good authority, that three steam
ers which left Baltimore recently,
presumably with coal, also took out
several million dollars in gold eagles
and half eagles. The shipments of
gold, it was also reported, were for
Germany, and were to be transferred
at sea 10 the raiders sweeping the
South Atlantic.
The report Is based on the depart
ure on December "a for Norfolk Of
the steamer Ausable. The vessel was
known to have cleared with coal and
about S2.o00,0oO in gold. She left
Norfolk on December 90 for Buenos
Ayres, but her arrival has not been
reported I, She was followed on Dec.
20 BY the Maumee. also carrying a
heavy consignment of gold for Buenos
Ayres. She has not been reported.
The Winnebago sailed on Jan. for
tire same port.
Maurice B. Carlin. local agent for

in Just that way. and that it can
come in no other.
Imagine what would have been the
feeling here during our Civil war.
when the American nation was put
ting forth every effort to prevent its
own dtsmemberment, had British
premier made a formal statement in
parliament to the effect that all Eu-
rope was concerned in the preven-
ton OF such another conflict, which
entailed sufferings on those peaceful
people through the cutting off Of
necessary supplies, and that it waY
evident that permanent peace could
be secured only if the war were not
fought to a finish. What stiffening
that would have put into the southern
cause. and With what renewed ener-
,gy the southern men would have re-
turned 10 the fight
The comment of London paper on
our Spanish war is equally to the
point. We were at war, and We pro-
posed TO fight that war to a finish
What would. have been our feeling
had some foreign nation taken the po-
s!tion that it would he better for all
concerned that the thing be called
off?
The presidents statement that a
permanent peace cannot follow vic
tory is an invitation to the nations
TO quit fighting now. before a victory
IS won. 1t may properly be resented
by those on either side who believe
that victory can be won, and who
are convinced that the safety Of
themselves and the peace OF the world
require that the fight be continued
until that victory Is reached.

POLES DEPORTED
BY GERMANS NOW
Warsaw News Item Gives HUI
manitarian Reason, as Was
Case With Belgians.

STOCKHOLM. June Sc Germans
are now deporting Poles as well as
Belgians. This information comes in
an innocent looking news item from
Warsaw telling of new regulations 10
meet rood difficulties there, paruc-
ularly among the poorer classes.
The item says that the municipal
autohrities OF Warsaw, with the or
ganized financial help OF the citizen
ry." decided on measure which
several weeks ago was put into effect
namely, the removal of that part OF
the poorer classes OF the population
who for some time past had either not
worked or could not work. ami who
were unable from their own means
to support themselves. so that they be
came burden on public feeding
plants All these poorest OF the poor
are now being taken to smaller towns
ana villages where they can more
easily he fed. Likewise. they are be
ing sent into the country where pos
sibilitiss OF work are more numer-

The humanitarian and altruistic
feature of the warsaw deportations
is strongly reminiscent OF the Bel
siaH evacuation.
