MICHIGAN PAYS THE PIPER

Portland. Ore, July 22.-Com- men,ing on forest destruction by fire District Forester Geo. H. Cecil cit ies the situation in which Michigan now finds herself. From a State whose forest wealth was consider ed inexhaustible she is reduced largely to a producer of fuel wood and other minor forest products-all because of indifference to fires, wasteTul cutting, and lack of refore- station. In other words. Michigan Is now paying the piper for twenty five years ruthIessness, indifference, and lack of forest foresight.
 The building trades and the auto mobile and furniture industries of Michigan must largely import their supply of high-grade lumber from other states instead of growing it at home.
 For the most costly classes of woods, such as those used for au- tomobiles, furniture. and building, Michigan goes as far south as the Gulf and as far west as the Pacific; she imports all told a little more than a billion board feet of lumber and timber annually, of which 400 million come from the Gulf coast region and nearly lSO million feet from the Pacific northwest. For these amounts the state pays not only an enormous freight bill but also the high prices incident to constantly dwindlng forests.
 The reforestatiOn of Michigan's denuded lands would after 8 few decades. say forest experts, not merely stop these costly importa- tions, but go far toward reestabIish- ing the tates lost leadership in her once greatest indust.y-lumberlng- and put it upon a permanent basis.

LITTLE PROGRESS
 IN OEVELOPMENT

Judge James Wickersham return ed on the steamer Admiral Watson Thursday from a visit to Fairbanks and intervening coast points. On hls return from the interior to Seward he left for Cold Bay to investigate conditions in the oil belt but on ar irving at Kodiak he found a number of men with whom he had business and it was not necessary for him to go further.
 At Kodiak Judge Wickersham met several representatives of the con cerns that contemplated starting op- erations in the Cold Bay field and from them he learned that it is very doubtful if anything is done this year further than preparing for ac- tivity next year. It Is pOsslbel that machinery for drilling may b eland- ed this year by one and. possibly. two companies, but active opera tiOns are not likely to be carried on before next year, the climatic con diuons not being favorable to win ter work.
 Those with whom the judge talked who had been in the oil field were all confident that 1t wlll provo to be g producer.

Wilson Concentrates on Politics.

In announcing the termination of
the law partnership Of Wilson and
Colby. Mr.. Colby gives as the reason
that the former President "is turning
his energies once more to subjects
which have long invited him.
Not so long maybe. but with great
force since the November election.
Mr.. Wilson. there is good reason for
saying, sees the democratic party COM
ing back and expects it to arrive in
November. 1924.
Nay. more. 1t is coming back. as he
believes, on tide Of revived Wilson
ism. The people have repented of the
verdict they gave in 1920. and are pre-
pairing to render one in favor of the
policies they then unwisely CON
demned.
Naturally. Mr.. Wilson wants to di-
rect the flowing of this tide-wants to
give his whole time to it.
And then in politics Mr.. Wilson will
be more at home than in the law.
Years ago he met with no success ut
the bar, and soon left 1t for a teachers
chair. But In politics he has risen in
twelve years to the proportions Of a
world figure, and today many Of the
men who followed him while he was
in the White House are still in his
train.
There seems no reason to believe
that Mr.. Wilson has in mind another
nomination to the presidency. I'm
proved as his physical condition may
he since retiring from office. 1t is not
such as would warrant his assumption
as a candidate Of the duties and re-
sponsibilities OF national campaign.
and particularly not Of the duties and
responsibilities OF the presidency for
another four years.
Hence the opinion. widely and
strongly entertained. that the object
:f his activity Is control Of the next
democratic national convention in the
interest Of man OF his choice and
the adoption Of a platform of his con-
struction.

Gary on Immigration.

Judge Gary, head OF the United
States Steel Cooperation. finds fault
with the present 8 per cent immigra-
ton law. He complains that it is re-
sulting in a shortage of labor for un-
skilled work about the steel mills, and
he thinks American industry is there.
by affected adversely. The trouble with
Judge Carys position is that he re-
CARDS labor for his steel mills along
with other raw materials. and the
rawer the labor is the better it suits
the purposes of the steel manufac-
turers.
A twelve-hour day at minimum
wages undoubtedly tends to fatten
dividends on steel, but as to scarcity
of such labor affecting adversely
American industry as whole. that Is
another matter. No nation has yet
grown prosperous through the process
Of lowering standards of living. Ex-
ploiters of low-standard labor may
prosper exceedingly, not to say ex-
cessively, but that does not constitute
national prosperity. The class Of labor
Judge Gary wants makes minimum
contribution to American well being.
It's standard Of living is so low that
even on the wage it gets there Is a
margin for saving. but these savings
do not go to increase the national
capital and help develop the country.
II they are not boarded against the
time of return TO the home land they
are sent overseas to help support rela-
tives there. Only a few Of them be.
come citizens. and still fewer become
desirable citizens.

have on the pocketbooks Of Judge

John Wanamaker.

John Wanamaker's career, closed
yesterday after an Illness which he
fought with the vigor that marked his
whole life. was a striking example Of
the success which comes from high
endowments Of character. Like many
another American who has attained
to heights of prosperity and influence
he was born humbly, his father being
Il brickmaker. His first employment
earned him $1.25 a week. as errand
boy in store. Gifted with an fnstinc-
tive sense of values. he was a mer-
chant Of veritable genius. His enter
lrises in business succeeded. He had
vision and he advanced constantly,
never content to remain stationary.
But his ambition was always tempered
with Judgment, and he ventured no
further than his resources justified.
He built up gigantic establishment
which became one OF the mercantile
institutions of this country, and his
success was in every respect deserved.
for he always gave value. and his first
consideration was for the satisfaction
of his customers. The basic principle
Of his business was cooperation be-
tween the vendor and the purchaser.
A true Christian spirit animated Mr..
Wanamaker in everything he did. He
was intensely interested in the well
fare Of others. and whether they We're
his employees or his fellow citizens he
sought to serve them. He not only
believed. but he practiced the prin-
ciples Of righteousness, and his ex-
ample was the more inspiring because
Of the purity of his own life. He hated
sham and deceit. and he carried this
motive into civic affairs. participating
frequently in public activities, though,
with a single exception, refusing to
engage personally in official life. His
service as Postmaster General was in
line with his keen interest for the bet
terment Of the business administration
Of the government. and he contributed
richly to its development. Though the
parcel post did not come to the point
of accomplishment during his term of
office, he laid the foundations for that
invaluable institution, and it was his
pride in later years that he had aided
so materially in an achievement that
has given the people facility for
cheap and safe transportation.
John Wanamaker's death will cause
sincere mourning on the part Of those
thousands with whom his life was
closely associated, and general sorrow
on the part of the people Of the coun-
try, who appreciated the worth of this
great American, who gave to his coun-
try the example Of a useful construc-
tive service with sincere devotion to
the highest precepts Of the Christian
life.

general and consuls are intimately as-
sociated with the policy Of forwarding
and extending our foreign trade. On
every account. therefore. the best men
available should be commissioned for
these places.
Mr.. Hughes puts the case strikingly
and happily in saying that this service
must be "democratized." This is the
era when everything. in America and
elsewhere. is in process Of democrati-
Zation.
But the tribute he pays to those
men OF wealth who have sought this
service without q thought but Of the
public veal is most just. In preferring
a life of public activity to one Of pri-
vate ease and Indulgence they have
given testimony Of being Of the real
American stuff.

Shin Bill and Farm Bill.

If the Senate wills. it can pass both
the ship bill and the farm credits bill
at this session. If it wills. it can block
both bills. If it wills. it can pass one
at the expense of the other. There is
a wide range Of possible action or in
action.
Under the rules Of the Senate, which
have worked both good and ill in the
past, il Is possible to protract fill
buster against any measure, especially
in short session. definitely limited as
to extent. 1t is therefore possible to
put up obstacles in the way OF the
ship bill to the end of effecting its
complete obstruction before March 4.
But 1t will take the shrewdest schem-
ing and the mos, skillful management
TO prevent the nature of this purely
negative course from showing plainly
before the country as the destructive
maneuyer OF a minority.
Advocacy Of the farm credits bill
does not in itself necessarily mean op-
position to the ship bill. Many mem
bers Of the Senate favor both. just as
some oppose both. If sincere spirit
of accomplishment prevailed a COM
bination might be formed of the for
mer and insure the passage Of both
bills. If such a spirit does not prevail
it may be possible for the opponents
of each measure to insure the defeat
IF both.
-k1o 90, ho &c,
bill and oppose the ship bill are Of a
disposition to plead that the latter can
be passed only by the votes Of sena-
tors who have been defeated for re-
election. This Is an assumption, not
assured. But in any case, it bess the
question. The Senate, as it stands, Is
charged with the duty OF adopting or
rejecting this measure. regardless of
the status of its members in respect
to the next Congress. The question of
government aid for the merchant ma
rine has not been made an issue be-
fore the people to the extent that any
mandate has been given against It.
The late elections are not to be re-
sarded as indicating public disap-
proval Of the proposal.
If the concluding session of Con-
gress is to vote upon nothing that is
in any degree controverted, because
some members of it have been rejected
at the polls, the time has indeed come
for a change in the calendar. But un-
til such a change is effected, through
the amendment of the Constitution,
the retiring Congress stands charged
with powers and responsibilities that
are not to be denied or 1essened be-
cause Of the happenings at the polls
in the preceding November.
The ship bill is the paramount item
Of business. If it is displaced to make
way for the farm credits bill it should
oe upon the distinct understanding
that the ship bill will be given its fair
chance Of coming to a vote in season
to effect final enactment in case the
Senate votes yea.

Our Foreign Service.

On Monday Secretary Hughes ap-
peared before the House committee
on foreign affairs advocating bill for
the reorganization and Improvement
Of the foreign service of the govern
ment. This is taken from a report Of
the proceedings:
you have got to democratize selec-
tion Of men for the diplomatic field"
Mr. Hughes said. land I want to en-
phasize that this proposal has no
partisan or political aspect whatever.
My sole desire is to use both the
diplomatic and the consular services
to the highest degree and to put them
on the basis where they ought to be.
We have got to give the young man
entering the field the assurance that
himself along reasonable American
standards" He said 1t was not good
for the diplomatic service to be re-
cruited wholly from young men of
wealth II am the last man in the
world to deny credit to young men
Hughes. II do not know what we
could do unless we could draw on men
of culture and refinement who could
afford to join us abroad. But it would
cratic for this government to arrange
it's affairs in way which would ex-
clude the others"
This is not a new subject, but the
time is most fit for its revival. and it
is most cogently handled by the Secre-
tary of State. Our foreign service
should be made attractive in every
way for men Of ability and ambition

Gary and other magnates Of the steel
industry, It is q fundamental fact that
the higher the living standard Of the
people the greater win be the pros
perity Of all the people. And the
greater the prosperity OF all the people
the surer. in the long run. will be the
profits Of the steel mills. A safer
policy for the steel industry to pursue
would be to set its engineering and in
ventive Geniuses at work devising
ways to eliminate the necessity Of so
much unskihed labor. SO that this
work about the mills could be done
by Americans. or at least by immi-
grants who would receive an Ameri-
can wage for an American day and
maintain an American standard of
living. In the light Of all that has
been accomplished in substituting
mechanical for man power, it would
be humiliating confession of incom-
potency to admit that this shame of
The American peor'" never will con-
sent to let down the immigration bars
merely that the steel mills may con-
tinue to be supplied with low-standard
labor. That the immigration laws
should be amended is generally ad-
mitted. but they will be amended with
a view to bringing in a higher. not u
lower, grade Of immigrants. And the
time may come when the people will
put up the bars altogether, to the end
that what is left of Americas re-
sources may be conserved for the de-
scendants of Amercans. The steel
manufacturers would not be unwise
to begin planning against such a day.
