TO CONSERVATION

II may seem pnradOXical that the
consumption Of lumber in the UniteG
States is gradually decreasing and
the lumbermen are seeking to extend
their markets at a time when there
is a great demand for reforestaton
and forest planting. There is, how
ever. really no paradox in this situa-
ton. Except as governmental bodies
NAV do it for sentimental and gen
eral welfare reasons at the taX-pay-
ers' expense. there will be little sys-
tenatic growing of timber by private
owners until there is public forestry
policy. There must be sufficient
volume of demand and a satisfactory
nrice. to induce owners of forest
lands to treat their lands as capital
from which to draw interest, rather
than as a store of wealth TO be drawn
on until exhausted. It is only within
recent years, with the increasing av-
crape p.ice Of lumber, that lumber
men have begun TO consider forestry
operafions as even remotely practl-
cable. There is, therefore, no incoH-
pruity in the stimulation Of the lum-
ber export trade, even though there
is a probability that this country may
suffer severely in the next ten or nj
teer wears for lack Of certain kinds
Of wood.

tends aid to the big industries by en-
acting a tariff wall around this coun-
try so as to prevent outside competi-
ton. The financiers who will buy
our ships for seven cents on the dol
lar of original cost, by the Harding
Ship Subsidy Plan, and then receive
a cash bonus of S750,000,000 over ten
years, will be provided for, yet this
Republican Congress has not enacted
single law to improve the condition
of the farmer.
1.-The explanation is that the Repuo-
lican party has always been and is
now the servant of the highly organ
lied plutocratic interests. These main
tain powerful lobbies and make huge
campaign contributions to Republican
managers
President Harding feeds the farm
ers with promises but he satisfies the
great organized interests with per-
formances.
"By the tariff law, manufacturers
are protected against competition to
such an extent that they can realize
enormous profits by selling necessities
Of life to the American public.
"Under this same tariff the farmer
sees his products going down and his
sugar, clothing and machinery going
mn. The reason is that the surplus ag-
ricultural products can no longer be
absorbed by Europe because the tar
if prevents Europe from selling 10,
rs and therefore renders Europe I'M
able to buy from us.
"The voters Of Virginia are earn
estlv urged to perform their clvic
duty. Voting in the Primary does not
complete that duty.
"Every qualified citizen should vote
but it is peculiarly incumbent upon
those who participated in the PIT
mary TO vote in the general election.
The power and influence OF an organ
ization can only be maintained by inc
vigilace OF its members.
HThe campaign this fall is the torc
,,urner of the great battle OF 1879

Room of Little Apartment
CBy United Press.)

New York. Oct. 3O-Mysterious
death of Daniel Cohen, %, craftsman
and his bride of month, whose nude
bodies were found in bathroom,
without trace of violence or poison,
was probed by police and detectives.
Frederick Snowden, coroner, scout
ed the police theory of suicide and
said ne believed a double murder had
been committed. He said there would
be no inquest today, as he was just
beginning his Investigations.
Cohen's body, without clothing was
found on the bathroom floor of the
couples home in Yonkers. The only
mark on his body was slight abras-
ion on one hand. Mrs. Cohen lay in
the bathtub, her body submerged in
water.
Neither the police or coroner could
find trace of gas or electrocution, they
said. The apartment was locked.
The bodies were discovered when
Mrs. d. H. Cohen, mother of the
bridegroom found Sunday mornings
milk bottle outside the door and per-
suaded neighbors to break into the
apartment She told authorities that
the young couple had been extreme
" happy and had betrayed no cause
for suicide.
Snowden said it was practically inn
possible that Cohen could have kill
ed his wife and then himself rs his
body had the appearance of having
been carefully arranged on the floor.
