PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE.

It is interesting to note at this time when the newsprint situation is serious and the supply of trees for making pulp will not last for more than 25 years, that successful experiments have been made in Virginia in producing paper pulp from cotton fiber. It is to be hoped that it will prove more successful than some of the other experiments along a similar line, but whether it does or not it is quite evident that it should not de- tract from the efforts that need to be put forth in replacing the pulp wood for ests that have been removed.
 There has been tremendous increase in the use of all kinds of paper We are as free with it as with anything that is manufactured and yet there doesn't seem to be any too serious consideration given ! the necessity of providing for the fu- ture. There must be due allowance for time for new trees to grow. We cannot wait until the last acre of woodland is reached before thinking about giving at tcntion to the growing of more of the needed trees.
 It is now, when there is time in which to permit of a proper growth, that thoughts should be turned to the re- forestation through the setting out of the trees that can be converted into pulp either on land that has been cut over or waste land, and thus insuring the sup. 1 ply that will be required in years tc come.
 | Such a need should appeal to those who are directly concerned but it is evi l dent that much help can be given b5 means of national policy which would get the support and assistance of tht l different states.
 There is need for more forests for tht production of timber other than used fol paper making. Forests are needed fol the protection of the watersheds of oul rivers and the quicker serious considera tion is given to the situation today ant l something done to aid the natural agen cies the quicker will the threatened 1 shortage be averted

A BLOT ON DULUTH.

Although we are justly stirred by the atrocious conduct of mobs in certain southern states when they undertake to .ake the law into their own hands, we are nevertheless accustomed to such con- duct from that part of the country Pos sibly it is no worse for the people of Duluth, Minn., to resort to such a dis regard for law and order than it is for those of Georgia but somehow they have been given credit for displaying better judgment and a higher regard for law and order. There can be no question put what the crime that was committed by those colored circus employees de- served the full penalty of the law, but in a civilized community 1t should have been imposed in accord with the provis- Ions of the law. When Duluth proceed ed to lynch three Negroes it showed that 1t had lost it's balance wheel, that it dis regarded it's own laws and that it set out to correct one wrong by committing an. other.
 Duluth has placed blot upon its for mer good name which it will be difficult 10 erase. When it overpowered the po- lice authorities and wrested from them he men who had been arrested under Suspicion of committing the dastardly

THE NEW CITY GOVERNMENT.

As the result of the desire expressed by the voters of the city at the election this month the city fathers named to direct the affairs of the community for the ensuing year have already assumed their responsibilities, and III connection herewith it was good bit of advice that was given by Mayor Lerou when he urged upon the committees and the heads of departments the importance of work ing together There is need not only of meeting the requirements of the city through the various departments but of doing it on that basis of efficiency which can best be assured by cooperative eff fort It is certainly needed and it is to be hoped that it can be accomplished to the fullest extent
 As was to be expected following the placing of the conduct of city affairs ir new hands a number of changes in ap. pointive office holders has been made. As the new corporation counsel, Edwin w Higgins, is returned to an office which he held a number of years ago. Fully equip. ped not only by experience in this very office but by years of practice along sim liar lines his selection assures to the ,ity the high class legal guidance that t requires.
 Chief Stanton has long ago demon strated the fact that he should be re tained at the head of the fire depart ment as long as he will accept a reap pointment and as an assistant the ap pointment of Henry R. Taft recognize. young man who has given the depart ment many years of excellent service and one fully qualified for the place.
 In retaining Superintendent A. W. Jar wis to have charge of the cemeteries rec ognition is given to courteous and eff cient work in that department.
 No better selection could have beer made than the choice of George E. Eel lows for street commissioner This i'm portant office calls for man who un derstands the requirements of the of lice and is able to measure up to them This Mir. Fellows does as has been pre- viously demonstrated
 There still remain some offices to b, filled as the result of the new admin istration but 1t is to be expected tha they will get the same careful consider ation that the others have received.

NEW ENGLAND COAL.

New England at the present time is much worried over the coal situation and 1t has good reason to be for New Eng land is not getting the coal that it re- quires at a period of the year when it should be stocking up for the winter, and inasmuch as it is not having it's needs met at this time it may well become anxious lest it be shut off next winter and be obliged to experience worse con- ditions than those during other short ages.
 At the present time coal Is being ship ped out of the country that ought to be coming to New England. It is going to Europe because much higher price can be secured for it over there, and the ex- cuse given for not supplying New Eng land needs is that there are not proper transportation facilities. Strikes and in adequate railroad equipment have played heir part in blocking the movement of soal but there seems to be sufficient sars and motive power to haul the coal Tor export from the miner to the yes Sels.
 There are great cries of distress at Inc suggestion of placing an embargo on the exportation of coal The coal men point out that there is enough coal and such is unquestionably true They also insist that if there were cars enough all would be supplied. That is also prob ably the fact provided labor disturb ances didn't interfere- but the fact can not be overlooked trat New England is facing a serious coal shortage, that if shipments to Europe were stopped what Is going abroad could be sent into this part of the country. In other words what should be coming ry New England with the present railroad equipment is going out of the country.
 It may be next to impossible to get legislation now establishing an embargo put the suggestion cannot be ignored that it lies within the power of the in terstate commerce commission to so as sign the coal cars that New England vii get the relief it needs if in fact it ism possible under the Lever act to shut of this foreign trade in coal until domes tic requirements are met.
 New England isn't any more exercised than it ought to be and it is wise in no waiting until snow flies before express ng itself.

A PUBLIC MENACE.

Much sympathy will be expressed with the statement of the New York Tribune to the effect that Tt is difficult to under stand the reasoning processes which in duce a justice of the supreme court to allow a dangerously insane degenerate, who has been twice arrested for attempt ing to attack little children to go at lib- erty provided he was removed to another state"
 This action was taken following warn ing to the effect that the man should not be permitted outside of an institu- tion that he was of the material that develops "rippers'' and that he needed constant watching, and even after the judge is alleged to have said that he was menace to any community.
 By the action of the judge in excfud- ing him from New York state it becomes quite evident that he appreciated the danger to the children of that state, that he saw the necessity of protecting them against such a danger but it shows an utter disregard for the safety of those of other states.
 Except that it is much worse, in that | a mental defective is concerned, the ac- | ton taken is like that which too often prevails in criminal cases of greater or 1 less degree. The easiest and cheapest method of disposing of law breakers is | resorted to when they are told to get out of town or to cross the border into an. other state. It is simply an invitation | to them to get out and carry on theil
 activities elsewhere instead of dealing l with them as the case requires. If laws are going to amount to any thing and protection is going to be giver
 to those who have right to expect i l this practice of shifting the responsi
 bilities to the shoulders of. others whc
 know nothing of the conditions and art
 thus kept iE ignorance of dangers unti | something happens should be stopped. 1 is a rank injustice to other states ant ! other communities. In view of the dis
 closures regarding this insane man anC l the way in which he is permitted t,
 menace public safety where is the re
 sponsibility for his acts going to b.
 placed in case he does what the authori
 ties maintain he is liable to do at an! 1 time?

SNAP SHOTS OF
 DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS Copyrighted by G. M. Adams Service
The Convention of 1892

Although there was bitter antagonism was once more the dominant party fav- orite when the 1892 democratic National Convention assembled at Chicago, on June 2. Cleveland's old and persistent enemies in his home state if New York, were again the head and front of such opposition to him as existed; and they left no stone unturned to accomplish their purposes.
 No sooner had the National Committee issued the National Convention call, than New York state convention was as sembled-four months ahead of the Ma tional Convention-and a snap" delega- -tion set up to support Governor David B. Hill instead of Cleveland. Around this nucleus (which was bitterly assailed by those who were called the anti snappers') the Cleveland opposition ral- lied but to no avail. Out of 909 1-2 votes in the convention, 607 were neces- sary to two-thirds choice and Cleve- lands vote for a third nomination was 617 1-2 on the first rollcan. Governor Hill boiled 114, and Horace Boies of Iowa was third with 103 in a total field of eleven candidates.
 One rall-cau TOT SeconQ place SnOWeQ Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois leading (but not with a two-thirds vote) with 402. His nearest competitors in a total field of eight were Isaac P. Gray of In- l diana (who had been spectacular con- tender in 1SSS) with 343 votes, Allen B. Morse of Michigan with s6 votes | John L. Mitchell of Wisconsin with 45 votes and Henry Watterson of Ken | lucky with 26 votes.- Following this one roll call, however, Stevenson was made the vice presidential nominee on motior from the floor, without second roll-call | The temporary chairman of the con- vention was William c. Owens of Ken, lucky ;the permanent chairman wal William L. Wilson of West Virginia The adoption of the party platform wa, l preceded by a bitter contest precipitatet by proposal that the tariff plank shoult carry an implied promise to protected industries that there would be no sweep i ing tariff reductions. The convention refused any such expedient, however and by vote 564 to 342 adopted sub
 stitute plank denouncing protection Q! fraud" and declaring that the govern
 ment has no power to levy taxes excep | for revenue only.
 The result of this campaign was tn, second election of President Cleveland.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
State to be Coagra.uiated on Governor


 Mir. Editor: The letter in Tuesdays Bulletin by Annie B. Austin is fair sample of the selfshness displayed by the advocates of female suffrage. They have tried to make us all think that we have no right to express or entertain poinions in the matter which conflict with theirs. I think they would be sur prised at the very large proportion of both men and women in this country who really are not in favor of female sui frage because they are satisfied that it would not benefit humanity or the country. They have a right to their opinions, and are justified in expressing them notwithstanding the clamor against it. Connecticut is to be congratulated upon having a governor who is brave enough to stand back of his convictions. If there had been more like him in the last few years the female suffrage craze would have been consigned to oblivion.

EFFICIENCY SYSTEM

1T wonder whether your clocks right, Mrs. Brown" said the dressmaker from the second floor, making vague move ment as though actuated by hazy idea of leaving. If it is, I guess I better be going. According to it, have been here about two hours and a half. Funny, ain't it how long it takes a person to borrow a couple of cups of flour off anybody?
 Now, this morning I just ran down to Mrs. Malony's, that lives downstairs of us, to get the paper-it don't seem like it's hardly worth while for us to take one, when she has one sent to the house and her husband always gets one besides-so just go down and get hers when she's finished with it. And, honest, guess I went down about 10 after 10 and I had to wait till she finished with 1t, so I didn't start to go home until about 10.30, and it was 12 o'clock before got home. I just don't know where the l time goes to.

crime it publicly threw to the winds the laws which it was supposed to uphold and undertook on the spur of the mo- ment, without regard for the facts, to let mob rule take its course.
 Regard 1t as the act of a community that had been ineensed by the crime, or in whatever light one may, it is inpos- sible to get away from the fact that if there are not going to be frequent repe- titions of just such acts for all kinds of offenses determined efforts must be made to bring about the prosecution of those who engaged in that triple murder. Il rests with Duluth to determine whether 1t is going to stand for law and order and the punishment of criminals as the result of a fair trial or whether it is go ing to commit acts which are 8 direei contradiction to the laws of the com monwealth.

Combing Won't Rid
 Hair Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dan druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinsry liquid arvon: apply 1t at night whea retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 Do this tonight, and by morning. most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more ap- plications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and | trace of it. no matter how much dan druff you may have.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop al once, and your hair will be fluffy lustrous, glossy. silky and soft, ana look and feel a hundred times better l You can get liquid arvon at any drul store. It is inexpensive and never fail l to do the work
