BALANCE OF POWER SHIFTS
TOWARD THE WEST.

With the passing of Senator Boies
ienrose disappears an outstanding
figure in American political life, and
in his passing the leadership of one OF
the most important committees in the
senate falls upon the shoulders of "a
western man. Under the seniority rule
Senator Penrose is succeeded in the
Craftsmanship of the Finance commit
tee by Senator McCumber of North
Dakota. With this succession the bal
ance of power in the senate shirts
from the east to the west OF the
eleven important committees hand
ling the greater portion of the affairs
OF the nation only four are now pre-
sided over by eastern men.
Senator McCumber is safe and
sane republican. lie knows the west
and understands the east. But he
will undoubtedly be inclined to view the
claims OF the great agricultural. min
ing and numbering sections of the
country with a sympathy and under
standing not easily possible to an
eastern man. While sectionalism or
the favoring Of one class more than
another, is to be deprecated it is I'M
doubleday well to find the east forced
to adjust itself to changing conditions
by giving more serious attention, than
has been its custom. to the views and
interests of other parts of the country.
With Senator McCumber at the head
OF the Finance committee. we may look
for a change in the emphasis of recent
financial legislation which will not
only be good for the west but for the
entire country

GROWING OLD.

Many people can recall that it hash I
been so very long ago that when a
man reached forty he was supposed to
put on black and begin thinking about
bow best TO spend his declining days.
At sixty men were called upon to be
counsellors for the young. and if they
reached eighty they became some
thing in the shape OF curiosity.
But gone are the days when skull
caps and canes were the companions
Of three score and ten. The present
conception of living and being useful
has changed the traditions OF the past
and age is no longer an accumulation
of years-it's now condition of the
heart
We read of John d. Rockefeller
playing golf, and of Thomas A Edison
working hard in his big factory all day
and being content with four hours
sleep at night We read just a few
days ago of the passing of Marse Hen
ny Watterson, the last editor of the
old school, who was active and spry
and still able to WELD ready pen at
the age of 50. And it gives the most
of ms good deal of consolation. For
there seems to be more in life to live
for since one knows that he isn't going
to be classed as down and out and on
the shelf at fifty 1t also enables us
to put little more sunshine into life
ami 10 enjoy that sunshine which 9TH
ers put into our lives.
None of us. possibly, will ever break
record. But we can get
a lot of pleasure out of knowing that /
he man was right who said that we
are just as young as we feel

KEEP FAITH WITH THE MINERS.

The Pittman act was passed in the
main to enable Great Britain to meet
her oriental exchange obligations.
The only place she could get the
silver was in the United states and
then the only way to get the amounts
required in short order was by melt
ing American silver dollars in our
treasury. The Pittman act authorized
the melting of S5O,OOO,OOO silver dollars
to be sold at 81 an ounce. The money
thus received from Great Britain for
this silver was later to be paid out by
our treasury in replacing its silver
hoard from American miners at 81 an
ounce-the amount received from
Great Britain.
American miners agreed to this ar
rangement knowing that the market
price Of silver would go much higher.
which it did, reaching the peak of s1.s7
an ounce. New York quotation, Nov
%. 1919
The agitation TO repeal the Pittman |
act is on the ground that it is drain
ng the treasury at this time to pay
American silver producers more than
he present market price for silver.
The government is simply carrying
mt its agreement with England and
american miners and is replacing its
liver with the money paid by England,
I no cost to taxpayers. :

Americas Benefactions in 1921
oFrom the New York Herald)

For year of economic stress 1921
was remarkable for the number and
size of the donations and requests to
educational and charitable institutions
and to works of public welfare. The
General Education board alone appro-
priated more than $1.682,O0O to col e
leges and universities. and il devoted
to other purposes an amount which
brings the total appropriations up to
S2S,561,0 900. The Carnegie corporation
added to its benefactions SI7.462. 900.
George f. Baker gave $1,5OO.OOO to
Cornell university Edmund c. Con-
verse left valuable contribution to
the Metropolitan museum of art and
S2,OOO,OOO to hospitals and colleges. and
in the will of Max G. Breitenbach dis
tributing $5.OOO.OOO twenty-five of the
fifty-five requests were either a char
table or educational nature
This country was not the sole benef-
iciary of these bounties. The pressing
and immediate needs of other lands

suffering from the effects of the
World war. For the famine striker
districts of Russia 500 OOO 900 was ap-
propriated by congress to be expended
for seed grain. corn, preserved milk
and other food supplies and for the
transportation of these supplies to
Russian ports. Earlier in the year the
nation generously responded to the !
call for food and clothing from the
people of the war devastated regions
Of the Near East and from the suffer-
ers by the three great Chinese floods.
L also sent $7,25O,OOO to the relief of
he famine striker districts of China.
There were besides some notable pri-
iate benefactiOns to institutions in
oreign lands; Cleveland II. Dodge

section chairman and also some Others
asking their help in thwarting the pro-
posed plan.
Il realize that some of the secsor
chiefs. because of their connection
find it impossible to take any active
part in opposing the proposed legisla-
ton. l do feel however, that it may
be practicable for such men to cali the
attention of friends OF the forest SER
vice to the vicious legislation which is
now before congress and to suggest TO
them lines Of activity in which they
may be Of assistance
There are many local residents who
depend upon the national forests for
grazing, timber and other forest prod
ucts who would gladly come to the
aid Of the forest service at this time.
Every effort should be made to see
that some one outside of the forest
service organizes this support in order
that the opinions OF these people may
be considered at the hearings.
This is one Of the most vital ques-
tons before the forestry profession to-
gay and hope that your section may
be able to furnish strong support to
the opponents of the bill.

ests alone are 5. 220s giving the presi-
dent discretion to make the transfer

SILVER THE CREDIT srAsILIzER.

The coinage Of silver is the worlds
paramount problem. An international
monetary medium is vitality necessary.
Gold coinage of pre-war averages is
out Of the question due to lack of gold
to meet initiation. If Europe especially
is to adopt any kind of sound currency,
at least the kind that possesses une-
quivocal circulating value. it must be
through silver rather than gold coin
age. This should be obvious to even
those who are only specifically in
terested in the subject
1t is hardly conceivable that a ma
jority expert opinion will insist that
paper money of the kind Europe has
circulated in the past ten years is
either sound or sensible. If they again
resort to paper in the form of inden-
nifty bonds. which now is indicated in
certain directions they will fall deeper
into the mire of economic destruction
Silver seems to offer the only hope
for establishing sound credit. If this
sound credit viewpoint is correct and
II these European nations fail to face
realities, then the Far East and this
country will prevail above the wreck
age, as these countries will hold the
tangible monetary wealth of the world

DECLARES FIGHT VICIOUS.

The local forestry department is il
receipt of propaganda from the Amer.
lean Forestry association calling at.
tention of the forestry OFFICIALS to the
bills now pending in congress which
il is declared, are vicious in their at
ttude toward forestry and conserva-
tion of the public domain. The associ
alton calls upon the forest officials
throughout the country to urge edi-
torial comment" and Impress the i'm
portanee" of Weakening the public to

articles made to fit New York City

follows:
In letter sent out by the New York
section Of the Society of American
Foresters the taxpaying public is
called upon to help in killing zone of
the most serious attacks which has
yet been made on the conservation
movement in this country" The at
tack referred to is the plan to take the
forest service out of the department of

is the move to get control of the vast
