TAFT'S SELF-CRITICISM

Mcllowing age must bring with it
candid self-appraisal, else how 9TH
erwise can one account for the as
tonishing assertion of Supreme
Court Justice Taft that he was new
er fitted to be president.
Granted that he is TEN o-rasl ent-
ally more fitted to be chief justice
than PRESIDENT; does that mean
that he was not fitted to be presi-
dent? What qualities has President
Coolidge that Mr.. Taft lacked?
Mr.. Coolidge by many is regard
ed as an ideal president; whether
he is or isn't is beside the point.
. Mr.. Coolidge is being doomed for a
third term, and largely by the same
interests which doomed Mr.. Taft for
reelection, And had there been no
split in the Republican party in
1912 the likelihood is that Mr.. Taft
would have been reelected, regard
less of how he was personally fitted
TO be president.
Mr.. TAFT was not defeated be
cause he lacked certain qualities. He
was defeated largely because Mr..
Roosevelt possessed certain quail
tiles.
If Mr.. Taft believes he was too
easy going to be president. what can
be said OF Mr.. Harding, who by ma
ture was a somewhat similar man.
Had Mr.. Harding lived the prob
abilities are. regardless of his Taft
like qualities. that he would have
been elected to a second term. The
highly bruited presidential qualities
of Mr.. Coolidge. in that event.
would not have been heard OF.
Chance has much in common
with presidential possibilities, 1t is
no doub. true that Mr.. Taft posses
SEES exceptional qualifications for the
chief tusticeship. But the people
who elected him president In 1908
regarded him as possessing all the
requisite qualities. and the party
which nominted him thought of him
as highly as the same party is sup
posed to regard Mr.. Coolidge's quail
ifications for a third term.

try amounts to little more than one
per cent in Massachusetts, Connec-
ticut and Rhode Island.
What even 1.5 per cent OF a
states industry amounts to can be
deducted from the statistics for Con-
necticut. In this state there are "A
lumber plants, which produce ST.
100000 in products annually. The
Connecticut plants appear to be rel
atively small, for in Massachusetts,
11S plants produce 100000 annu-
ally.
In spite of New Englands sparse
lumber production compared with
former years. it is clear from the
report that there are still possibili-
ties for export, as only So per cent
OF the product is utilized in New
England. Decreased demand for
barrels and kegs, and the wide
spread use OF pasteboard boxes in
stead of wooden boxes. no doubt has
done its share in reducing the I'M
portance of the New England lum-
Der Industry. The plants as whole
have been working at only SIS per
cent of capacity. One shudders to
think how quickly the available
supply of timber would disappear
should they be working faster.

'PANNING THE GUARDS

Sing Sing guards are not wonders
of quick decisions. Prison guards
know more about rules in prison
than meeting emergencies on the
outside.
Thus Sing Sing guards permitted
three boys to drown in the Hudson
river alongside the prison rather
than permitting prison inmates
clamoring for an opportunity to save
their lives from doing so.
Everybody knows the story by
this time: How the guards threat
ened to shoot any prisoner who at
tempted to rescue the lads; how the
prisoners. frantic at the opportunity
to turn into heroes, covered before
the guns; how the boys in the river

\ TAKE-YOCR-TINIE
WAR IN CHINA

The huge civil war raging in
China seems to be remarkably de-
void of sanguinary conflicts. One
wonders how the war lords maintain
their regulations. Any western ma
ton. under similar circumstances
which God for bid should ever occur
would be chronicling a string of
battles" with heavy casualties on
each side and in the press &C
counts. But does Chinese army
ever actually fight? One gets the
impression that most Of the fight
ing in China consists of one general
computing the total of the other fell
lows resources; and the one having
the lesser quantity of man-power.
guns and ammunition-according
to the tally-sh Gets brought to head
quarters naturally decides to re-
treat.
All of which is one way of con-
Quoting war. If anything, it means
procrastination Of the decision: it
means the national melee will take
years longer than necessary. But
plenty of room for tactical maneu-
vering.
Northwest of Hankow, where the
Reds are strongest, one learns that
Marshall Feng Yu-hsiang, the
christian general" is issuing an
nouncements while at the head of
100000 men. An army of that size
would be dangerous if used, or if
capable of being used effectively.
But Feng isn't looking for too much
trouble. Rloodshed is furthest from
his thoughts. He is sitting pretty
like a Chinese general is supposed
to do. Nobody knows whether he is
Red. Pink or Yellow; when he went
TO Moscow after fleeing from Pekin
which his army had dominated for
IS months, he is supposed to have
accumulated Moscowan ideas: yet
he opposes the Hankow Reds at
present, anyway Feng seems to be
one OF the sort who jumps on the
most successful band wagon. and
Just now that means joining with
General Chang Kai-shek, the Can

NEW ENGLAND LUMBER
PRODUCTS

1t is frequently stated that many
a house erected in New England
contains lumber shipped from the
Pacific coast; that all the best lum-
her comes from there: that as a
lumber producing section New Eng
land has seen its best days.
It may be true that great deal
OF lumber used for specialized pur-
poses comes from the Pacific north
west. the last uncut portion of the
lumber resources OF the nation; a
section that in lumber resources
tops all other localities.
But New England is not yet
through with producing lumber. The
industrial survey OF New England
by the U. s. Department of Com
merce and the New England Coun-
ell, which has Just been completed,
indicates that New England still
manufactures lumber and timber
products valued at more than s46,-
$4,000 each year.
. The disquieting note In the report
is that in 1s23-the last year for
which complete returns are avail
able-New England's proportion of
the output of the entire United
states was only three per cent, while
in 1924 1t was 63 per cent. This
would indicate a steady decline of
the Kew England industry In ma
tional Importance, and Is an newt
able price Of the practice of cutting
without planting. How long it win
take before New England's lumber
production Is negligible is guess
work but another decade would
seem to be the uttermost limit. AT
the present rate OF decline. the
national percentage at that time
may be onc-half Of one per cent.
What even three per cent OF the
nations production amounts to is
indicated from the fact that the
lumber and timber products indus
.ry forms 30 per cent Of the tota
manufactured output OF Maine. a.;
