Elizabeth Sets a Good Example.

Forty years ago the city OF Eliza
beth, New Jersey, went broke. 1t had
borrowed money recklessly to spend
lavishly. 1t had entered into ex-
pensive undertakings believing its
growth would provide the cash to
meet its obligations as they fell due.
Various factors combined to dis
appoint the optimistic city planners.
The money they looked for did not
come in. The income they counted on
did not materialize. Elizabeth was
bankrupt so far as the books showed.
But Elizabeth was not bankrupt
in honor or in faith or in grit. It's
people were not welshers. Its corpo-
ration was not willing to throw up
the sponge or to play the baby act.
Instead. its leading citizens faced
the facts and sought way out TO
solvency with self-respect. They did
not have to look far for It. They
recognized the way to salvation was
through economy, thrift. saving.
They knew IL was hard way, but
they knew IL was the sure way. SO
they took IL, not in the spirit of men
going on a picnic but in the spirit of
men with a duty to perform. And
the men who succeeded those sturdy
leaders OF generation and more ago
stuck to the hard job.
To-day they have their reward. In
forty years Elizabeth has paid 81
0oo. 900 principal and interest on that
old debt. Now its fiscal agent holds
S7o3,oo0 to pay the final interest and

Poes occupied, told of luncheon there
where she was seated on a cracker box
by reason of a dearth Of furniture, Of
a conversation in the course of which
the Poes spoke of their being about to
remove to Fordham where the pure air
would do wonders for Virginia" CAS- If
there could be purer air in Fordham
than on the shores of the East River,
which seventy-seven years ago was prac-
tically Long Island Sound.) AS, how
over, with data before me proving that
the Poes removed from their lodgings at
1876 East Broadway in April, 1876, and
arrived at the Fordham cottage later
in that same month, leaving as little
time for Poe to lease cottage at
Turtle Bay as there was chance of any
cottage there to lease--the lands there
about being all private property and in
accessible from the city by any but pri-
vate conveyances--I felt reasonably safe
in rejecting her information.
But II was not until / was guaranteed
by correspondents who were moved by
THE SUN letter to write me that 1 was
able to state that the worthy lady had
confused in her memory her own early
residence in the vicinity Of Turtle Bay
with visit to the Poe cottage in Ford
ham, made also in her very early child
hood. In addressing you this am hop
ing that some OF your readers may be
able to communicate to me as much
certitude Of information about Mount
Tom on the North River as THE SUMS
correspondents gave me about Turtle
Bay on the East River.
And. even sans any Poe memorabilia,
Mount Tom is a most interesting feature
OF upper West End New York city and
deserves TO be written about for itself
alone. APPLETON MORGAN.

Father of American Forestry.

DR.. JOSEPH T. RoTHRocK, whose re-
cent death in Philadelphia caused
deep regret to all who were actively
interested in the forests Of this coun-
try. was deservedly called the Father
OF American Forestry. He early adj
vocated the formation of American
forestry associations and he was one
OF the organizers and first president
OF the Pennsylvania Forestry Asso-
citation. He had the satisfaction Of
seeing the Pennsylvania policy, which
he was largely instrumental in for
mulating, develop until the State for
ests OF Pennsylvania covered an area
Of t.126,000 acres.
DR.. RoTnRocK' interest in forests
grew out of desire to have them
qerve their greatest usefulness to
humanity. In his practice soon after
his graduation as a physician he dis
covered the great benefit to tubercu-
losis patients of an outdoor life and
he began advocating the open air
treatment which in after years was
adopted by the medical profession
az a cure or as an alleviation of
the condition OF those attacked by
the disease. While Commissioner Of
Forestry OF Pennsylvania he estab-
lished a sanatorium for consump-
t,ves at Mont Alto. It's value being
clearly demonstrated, it was turned
over to the State Health Department,
which not only greatly enlarged It
but also built similar institutisAs at

Lethbridse Sends Greetings.
An Airplane Invitation to Visit an
Enterprising Canadian Town.

To THE N.w YORK HERALD The citi-
zens of Lethbridge and district take
this opportunity Of sending you greet
ings by the first international transcon-
tinental air mail plane and invite You to
visit us.
ANY attempt to describe the home
country of the plane that carried this
letter and its pilots. Messrs. H. H. Fitz-
simmons and j. Palmer, would be futile.
but we venture to remind you that Leth-
bridge is the principal city Of southern
Alberta. lying some fifty miles north OF
the international boundary and about
midway between Glacier Park and the
wonderful Canadian National Park at
Banff. at the entrance to the famous
Crows Nest Pass auto road.
The immense coal mines both in and
near the city, the immense grain fields.
the highly cultivated irrigated belt and
the awe inspiring scenery Of the Rockies
to the west guarantee a variety of
scenery and interest to the sportsman,
angler and sightseer that should satisfy
the most fastidious while the city has
a population of some 10000 enterpris-
Ing CItlZeNS anu spacious pdThS anu WCIl
kept auto tourists camping grounds.
In addition to the 100000 acres of
irrigated land which is highly developed
u further 100000 acres is being brought
under cultivation, the construction work
Of which is costing approximately
s5,000.000 it is nearing completion.
This new irrigation belt will require
many new settlers, as the farms will be
split into smaller areas than formerly.
In order to obviate any wildcat sell
ing scheme OF these lands the Govern
nent of the province is systematically
listing all the lands in the new irriga-
ton area and pricing them for the ben
eft of prospective settlers.
We trust you wifi consider Leth-
bridge and the Rocky Mountains and
parks a possibility in any future auto
tours you may be contemplating. and
assure you that when passing through
Lethbridge the city and its Board OF
Trade guarantee a warm welcome.

Hamburg and Cresson. Pennsylva-
MAS plan was followed by several
other States.
His botanical studies and his keen
interest in plant life were also fac
tors in turning DR.. RoTHRocK from
medicine to forestry. He was recog-
uized as one Of the leading botanists
of Pennsylvania, and he became pro-
fessor of botany at the State College
and afterward at the University OF
Pennsylvania. He was surgeon and
botanist of the Wheeler exploring
expedition. which made a study of
the United States west Of the Tooth
meridian when much OF that coun-
try was wilderness. MIcHAUx, the
great French botanist. in apprecia-
tion of the courtesies he received
when in America in 1855 left a sum
of money to the American Philo-
sophical Society of Philadelphia to
be used ito advance the progress of
agriculture with reference to the
propagation Of useful trees and DR..
RoTHRocK was made the first Mi
chaux lecturer.
He used to say that his first audi
ence was the janitor and two other
persons. In trip he made over the
State he drew large audiences. These
lectures gave him an early opportu-
nifty for impressing upon the people
the value Of trees and his plans for
turning the great non-agricultural
areas into forests. The interest
which he aroused in these lectures
opened the way for the earnest ap-
peals which he later made for prompt
action in saving the remaining for
ests Of the State and in reclaiming
the devastated mountainsides.
DR.. RoTHRocK's policy included not
only the sane and honest conserva-
tion of the forest resources Of the
country but the increased use of
parts of the public domains by camp
ers, health seekers and vacationists.
He favored the establishment OF
homes for the open air treatment of
the sick, and he believed that by max
ing the forests outing places where
mankind could gain health and
strength they would serve as pre-
ventive Of disease as we'll as cure
for many Of the ills of life.

Explaining His Tariff to Fordney

A clothing manufacturing house,
Cohen, Goldman & Co. of New York,
has given out some correspon-
dence between that firm and JOSEPH
W. FoRDNEY which is further evil
dence of the fact that there need be
no public regrets over the forthcom-
ing retirement from Congress Of the
Chairman Of the Ways and Means
Committee.
AS an experienced user, Of woolen
materials the business house mailed
to its customers throughout the coun-
try letter calling attention to the
fact that the proposed tariff on raw
wool was an increase in the practical
workings OF the schedule as regards
the kinds Of wool used in the busi-
ness of some SO per cent. over the
high Payne-Aldrich rate. These
woolen manufacturers advised their
customers that the tariff increase
would add about 81 to the cost of a
suit of clothes at retail and about
$3.50 to the cost of an overcoat.
One Of those circulars reaching
Chairman FoRDNEY, after having gone
to Michigan customers house, he
wrote to the New York manufactur-
ers letter of extraordinary tone in
its abuse and of doubtful value as to
its facts. Chairman FoRDNEY said,
among other indefensible things: II
regret to know that men who call
themselves American citizens would
so misrepresent facts as you have
done In your letter." &c. "In fact,
sirs, there is not one word Of truth
in any Of your statements"
Another remark of the chairman
Of the Ways and Means Committee
Of the House Of Representatives to
the manufacturers was: 'If you do
not know the rates of duty pro-
vided by the Payne tariff act you
should not comment upon them; you
are not competent to do so. The
Dingley act, the Payne-Aldrich act
and the present tariff bill are exactly
alike on wool. If you know this to
be true then you have misstated
facts and should apologize to my con-
stituents."
The manufacturing house, how.
ever, appears to know great deal
about all the tariff acts in question
as its reply to Chairman FoRDNEl
reveals, and also about the reasons
why the new schedule based upon the
differences declared by Mr.. FoRDNEY
not to exist will. in it's actual work
ing out, result in a tariff increase ol
some SO per cent.
The reply, with all its facts and
details explaining the Fordney tariff
to FoRDNEy, would seem to leave nc
doubt, in truth, that the Chairman
Of the Ways and Means Committee
OF the House of Representatives IN
the United States Congress simply
did not know what he was doing tc
the wooden business and to American
consumers when he wrote the WOO
schedule or let somebody else write
It and stick it in the new tariff.
And. in any event, for the Chair.
man of the Ways and Means Commit
tee of the House of Representatives
of the United States Congress to sci
out to bullyrag in personal corre'
spondence an important and expert
enced American business concern
which did know what it was doing
and saying was a grave politica
blunder as we'll as a gross impro
priety.
