St. Paul Pioneer Press: If there Is

day of inflated values for which high
prices, by the law of diminishing
supply. can be Justified, that article Is
wood When we began mining the
| forests of the country we were
pretty small nation, all but lost on a
continent of apparently inexhaustible
resources. Now we are big nation
| with little land remaining unoccupied.
When we began destroying our stand
| ing timber we had S50,000.000 acres OF
| it Now, with our vastly increased
population and increased demand, we
have left but one-fourth of that timber
acreage Is it any wonder that lun-
/ Der prices are going out of sight? Is
lit any wonder that publishers are be
looming alarmed over the vanishing
supply Of pulpwood?
The timber question is not more
| important to publishers than to lum-
bernlen and to all the industries which
work in wood. For instance, there
are 10000 persons in Ohio out of a
total industrial population of 100000
who work in wood-using industries. In
Illinois there are 10000. In Indiana

What a pity and what an insane
fury Of recklessness it Is that finds

lests gone without provision for their

from clouds of fire and smoke as from q volcanic
fire OF anarchy. None of these is tit to guide
men on earth courses because they have lost
their hold on earthly conditions and forget thar
success on earth comes from Individual deiving,
working and saving, and not from being whlried
on social theories between heaven and earth
like patrons of a merry goround." People
seem to forget that jacobs ladder rose clean
from earth to heaven, while the tower OF Babel
stopped good ways short of that.
So in the statement of Mr.. Hoover he seems
to call upon his fellow-citizens to stop cloud
dangling and get their feet on the earth; to pass
the treaty as soon as possible after 1t is made
safe for Americanism; to help Europe feed the
hungry to the extent of letting the governments
have on credit one hundred and fifty millions
worth of foodstufs-about one-third of the
supplies which our government owns through
the Grain corporation; to open the hand OF
charitable relief as widely as our private clt-
2enship shall desire to dc with It's own; to
postpone collection of interest on debts which
European governments now owe us; to admonsh
Europe that it is now time to stop filming the
sky and get to work ON production which will
restore private credits, and to admonlsh our
create wealth which can be loaned by private
Investors in European loans, by selling com
modities on credit to Europeans, and by dong
whatever else which good business judgment
and economic laws shall approve.
Whether Mr.. Hoover considers his statement
to be in the nature of political lightning rod
only he himself is in mind to say. He IS keep
ing the country guessing.

HEALTH THROUGH HYGIENE.

Too high blood pressure is one of
the colnmonest ills of this, cur modern
life. 1t is usually believed. even
among physicians, that this is caused
by kidney trouble or by hardening of
the arteries, but the Journal OF the
American Medical Association threws
doubt upon this and suggests that it is
more probably a sort of compensatory
process in an attempt to Dri.g greater
efficiency to an impaired circulation.
1t quotes DR.. +. Moschc3wiIz's de-
scription of the type of person in
whom this high blood pressure is like
ly to occur:
THE patients are overweight and
sometimes even obese. The neck is
short, the muscles are soft, their bod.
| lily movements are sluggish, their, cal
riage and walk are ungraceful and
they lack the spring and elan of the
former athlete. Physically these PEG.
pie are tense; they pursue their occu-
patton with tremendous seriousness
and worry over trivialities. Phtegm
and apprehension are, in my expar-
fence, anita gonistic. Furthermore,
these individuals have narrow intellec.
tual horizons. Their interest in any
thing outside of their business is de
sultory They have no hobbies. !"
The prototype of the candidate for
apprehension whom Moschcowitz has
thus cIeverly portrayed shows his
most conspicuous mental incapacity
in an inability to play, comments the
Journal of the American Medical
Association We must regard him, ac-
eording TO Moschcowitz, as the anti
thaSis of the child both in mind and
spirit. If the psychic, as well as the
physical, takes a part in the develop
ment or apprehension, we may well
advocate, vigorously and often, a
larger element OF play in the routine

THE DECAY OF REVERENCE.

We live in an age OF lrreyerenee. The young
see no reason for respecting the old Audacious
youth scorns the opinions and the experience OF
those who have lived through two generations.
Unhappily in the United States lack of rever-
cnce for age, experience and that moral author
.ity which long life ought to give is only too
common.
It is probably this disrespect for the wisdom
of age that must be held responsible for much
of the crime and vice which we see around us
today When the advice of the mature IS dis
regarded, they cease to advise.
The atmosphere in which we live IS filled
with wild theories and insidious doubts. The
sophistry of a false morality is spread abroad.
Socialism and anarchism vitiate politics. Even
manners lose their gracious loving-kindness
We imagine that we exhibit independence by
behaving like Doors. We forget the golden viz
tue Of charity.
The basis of good manners is respect for
others When irreverence becomes the rule,
manners disappear. The courtesy which lmrels
a man to raise his hat to a woman IN the street
or rise to let her occupy one OF the seats IN a
public conveyance is symbolic of what he would
be ready to do for any of her sex it she needed
his services.
Politeness may exist under any form OF gov
lerrrnent The entire loss of it would be the
first step towards a return to barbarlsm.

case, barring accidents II he is tenn
perate and free from avoidable ex
cesses. he may expect even now 70
be able TO enjoy the world as 1t shall
be in the year 1870.
This in itself is contamination
worth all the trouble of careful, tenn
perate living. This and the oppor
tunities for constructive effort be
tween today and 1870 offer progress
that should fire the ambition of any
,unspoiled youth.
Fifty years OF self directed con
istructive activity all in prospect!
A whole half century in which TO
use ones fully developed powers,
If only youth could see the wealth
of this as man sees 1t who has
spent that fifty years!
The man now 40 has lived through,

made its most rapid material ad'
vance. All the physical developments

Rome, or from Caesar to Columbus

of the man now living and born in
the year 1850. Discovery and inyen'
ition have made our own grandfathers
seem like men of ancient days.
There Is no reason to believe that
the next fifty years will not disclose
wonders greater than those OF the
past ilfty years. What these wonders
will be we can only guess at, though
many of our guesses are almost pro-
iphecies. The only thing that can
stop such swift; material progress is

"a little more attention to his neigh
boris welfare; and learn that every
man on earth is his neighbor.
Simply seeing and enjoying this
new material wealth, or even helpin c
to make it, is not in itself worth the
trouble of living fifty years.
But the young man who takes his
fifty years as an opportunity to serve
the age in which he lives, with a
view to making the world better
one for not only his fellows, but for
the young men who shall serve
through the Following fifty years,
will find this most enjoyable world.

Aside from some secondary measures by our
