PROGRESSIFENESS Recent wrecks on eastern roads have shown the
OF THE WEST marked progressiveness of the west over the east
ern companies in the construction of their cars, the proper care ofthe block,
signals, and the number of fatal accidents in the year's averages.
On all of the leading roads running through the western states the
cars are built of the strongest structural steel and even the day coaches are
asfree from the wood and inflamable material that brings such a fatal after
math as human ingenuity can make them. On few of the lines running
through the western states are there wood built coaches or any old worn out
material that may break in a moment's strain and result in the death or
injury of a number of passengers and employes.
Mpdern methods in railroad building and maintenance are now being
employed through the west even more extensively than in the east. Strange,
that with all of the country's wealth tributary to the eastern markets, in the
center of the transportation difficulties of the nation, at a point where every
thing gives way to speed and rapid transit, that wooden coaches should be
allowed on a modern railroad- or that a block signal should ever be permitted
to get out of repair. And yet, the press dispatches bring to us the stories
of railroad wrecks, of coaches that have been splintered into fragments, of
block signals that have not worked and that have been responsible for a
highway disaster.
Transcontinental limiteds rush through the western states, climb the
highest mountains of several ranges, pass from the fertile plains and valleys
of the middle west, up a steady grade for more than a thousand miles to the
summit of the Great Divide and the Cascades, swing around innumerable
curves and overcome the greatest problems that have faced the skill of the
railroad engineers.
And yet, the west may boast of its few wrecks, and fewer fatalities.
Under a constant strain as they pull the heavily loaded trains to the summits
of the ranges, so well kept are they that not even a tiny screw or bolt un
fastens itself from the giant moguls as the puff and strain to climb the
mountain peaks.
In the east, however, wrecks result from an unfastened bolt head or
a screw that has been neglected too long. Defective rails in the west are
few and far between. Block signals seem always to work. Train dis
patchers are gifted with remarkable memories and never or almost so
send over lapping orders.
It is strange that with the .wonderful transportation facilities, the mill
ions of people that are carried over the great roads daily, that the highly or
ganized and powerfully centralized system under which they work failso
respond as readily as does the same system in the west and results in more
fatalities in proportion to the population carried than do the same methods
farther toward the coast.
MODERN Comment has been made here before upon some of the local
DAY LAW marvels of the law, and it is perhaps timely to again touch
upon the subject. The other day two Indian squaws, perambulating the
streets and followed by a dog of mongrel blood, became entangled with an
automobile. Neither of the aborigines was hurt, but the dog gave up the
ghost under the wheels of the modern juggernaut, and went to the happy
hunting grounds, where benzine buggies abound not.
Civilization had done much for the Indians. It .had, among other
We Have Awakened to the, Need
of Forest Protection
By Dr. HENRY S. DRINKER. President of the American Forestry Association
THE public has awakened to the dangers and
losses frpm forest fires and to the need for
adequate protection.
- The LESSON HAS BEEN TAKEN TO
HEAET BY OUR PEOPLE. No less than
thirty-four of our forty-eight states have taken
active practical state action in forestry. All the
New England states are in this list of leaders.
We may well congratulate ourselves on the prog
ress of education in forestry. Today there are no
less than twenty-three institutions of higher learn
ing in our country with COURSES LEADING TO
A DEGREE IN FORESTRY, ten more with
courses covering one or more years in forestry and
thirty-four with short courses in forestry.
. We have Borne twenty-seven well organized for
estry and conservation associations and some thirty
five associations organized for timber protection and
allied conservation purposes.
Twenty-nine states are making ANNUAL AP
PROPRIATIONS for forestry administration.
IT 13 THEREFORE TO BE 8EEN THAT THE NATION
ING FULLY EDUCATED TO THE DREADFUL WASTE OF FOREST
FIRE3 AS WELL AS THE DANGERS TO LIFE, WHICH IS ALWAYS
A LARGE ELEMENT. THIS EDUCATION IS LEADING US TO A
FULLER APPRECIATION OF OUR WOODLANDS.

things, taught them that there was a lavvt-of justice, and they could appeal
thereto. So tjjey hied them to justice court, and there swore out complaint
against the owners of the automobile that had slaughtered their faithful pup.
The law is no respecter of persons, and a summons was issued for the ap
pearance here of the caninicides, if the term may be allowed. The sum
mons was issued over the telephone, which was a novelty, and which was
also effective. ' .
The owners of the auto appeared, but the owners of the defunct puppy
did not. However, the law is no respecter of persons, and had its stern
duty to perform, so the constable went out in search of the two squaws. Up
to late reports he had not visited all the hop yards, and so had not located
them. He will persevere, however.
All of which is a strictly truthful recitation of the facts.. Hence, when
the humble nature of this case is taken into consideraton, who is there that
can rise and say that the modern system of jurisprudence is not effective?
Who can say, in view of these facts, that the poor and lowly cannot get
justice against the rich and mighty? Who can affirm, and" support his af
firmation, that the law is not doing all that it can to bring out justice?
Consider the pup that was killed. Its intrinsic value may have been
fifty cents, if it was particularly fat. But its value to its Indian owners was
doubtless without price, owing to their affection for the beast. So the law
was called upon for recompense, such as could be made. And the law has
been busy ever snce. ' Telephone, tolls
twenty cents. Lxpenses or the constable
much more. Time of the court in yvaiting for the appearance of the liti
gants adds yet more to the bill. But all this is proper, so that the ends of
justice may beserved. And thus is
again vindicated ; and so never let it be
and lowly cannot get justice.

RECIPE FOR SUCCESS.
If you have read the history of Eng
land closely enough to know the careers
of her greatest men you know that the
name which standi) out highest and
brightest in the naval annals of the isl
and kingdom is that of Lord Nelson.
As a sea fighter he heads the list.
Not even our own Farragut, Porter,
Decatur, Semines or Terry or any for
eigner is classed with Nelson. Indeed
one recent writer on England and the
English calls him the greatest English
man who ever lived.
That of course, is an exaggerated
expression of one personal opinion, but
the fact is that as a naval commander
no nation can bring forward a man to
compare with Nelson
The mark of his genius was prompt,
decisive action.
Asked once what the secret of his
success was Nelson replied:
"I owe all my success in life to hav
ing been always a quarter of an hour
beforehand."
It was the quarter of an hour before
hand that did the trick.
Be was just a little beforehand In
the series of naval victories which
made' him the most idolized man Eng
land has ever known.
There is much in Nelson's life that is
neither admirable nor worthy of Imi
tation, but. in this trait of being be
forehand he was thoroughly praise
worthy. In all the affairs of life it is well, for
os all to emulate Nelson in this respect.
If there must be waiting let the other
man or woman find you waiting. Do
not enforce patience on others. Rather
practice Jt yourself.
There are men and women nowadays
who seem to have a chronic Inability
to tell the time. They have learned
the appearance of the clock dial In
their schooldays, but they forget It
almost as soon as learned. They are
never on time to keep appointments,
and the number of hoars lost to the
punctual in the course of a year by
these dilatory persons amounts In the
aggregate to a great deal. "
Ton remember some wise person tuts
said:
"Time Is the stuff of which life Is
made. Therefore let us not waste It"
Still more Important is It not to
waste the time of soma one else. If
you have nothing more Important to
do than to misspend yonr time his may
be more valuable to him.
Like Nelson, be a quarter of an boot
beforehand. Be punctual.

SONG OF LONG AGO.
A sons of long ago
Sing it lightly; siug it low;
Sing it softly, like the lisping of
the lips we used to know.
When our baby laughter spilled
Kroin the glad hearts ever filled
With music glad as robin ever
trilled:
Let the fragrant summer breeze.
And the leaves of locust trees.
And the apple buds and blos
soms, and the wings of hon
eybees. All palpitate with glee
Till the happy harmony
Brings back each childish joy to
you and me. t
Let the eyes of fancy turn
Where the tumbled pippins burn
Like embers in the orchard's lap
of tangled grass and fern.
There let the old path wind
In and out and on behind
The cider press that chuckles as
we grind. :
Blend in the song the moan
Of the dove that grieves alone.
And the wild whir of the locust,
and the bumble's drowsy
drone.
And the low of cows that call
Through the pasture bars vhen
all
The landscape fades away at
evenfall. ..
Then, faraway and clear.
Through the dusky atmosphere.
Let the wailing of the kildee be
the only sound we hear.
Oh, sad and sweet and low.
As the tuemory may know.
Is the glad, pathetic song of long
ago'.
James Whitcomb Riley.
Rainfall and Earthquakes.
Professor Omori points out an ap
parent relationship between the fre
quency of earthquakes at Tokyo and
the amount of rainfall and snowfall
In northwestern - Japan. Professor
Omori does nor, however, attempt to
explain It. The periods when earth
quakes are Infrequent (bat severe) co
incide In a striking manner with those
when rainfall Is deficient at Niigata
and Akita," while the periods of fre
quent (but not violent) shocks coincide
with excessive rainfall at those places.
Opals.
Unlike diamonds, emeralds, rubies,
sapphires, etc., opals have no standard
from, which the valne may be accu
rately fixed. - Every stone is Individual
and depends on Its own beauty for Its
worth. ;

DILLMAN & HOW LAND
BEAUTY IN AN AX.
Glowing Tribute to the Symmetry of
the American Product. "
In Professor T. Ie Tartuo's "Aes
thetic Education" Von Hartmann's.
formal orders of beauty are the text
for several chapters, one of which in
treating the proportion maintains the
following thesis:
"There is an actual, possibly a nec
essary, correlation between mechani
cal efficiency and aesthetic proportion.
In other words, as a "tool or a ma
chine increases in all rtound efficiency
there is a corresponding iu'Tease in the
aesthetic quality of its proportions."
As an example the American ax.
"the most beautiful In existence." is
described and analyzed:
"Theory, accident and experience
have stood beside the smith as he has
forged the blade, the head and the eye
of the ax.- The same forces have in
fluenced the tnakers of the handle as
they have selected the hickory, have
shaped it in the rough with ax aud
drawing knife aud finished it by the
open fireside with knife and sandpaper
and broken glass. From a straight,
round stick it bas become what we
see. a gracefully curving handle, flat
enough to enable the woodsman to
hold the blade true, large enough to
fit the hand comfortably, enlarged suf
ficiently at the end to make sure the
grasp yet be no bar to the comfort of
the user and curved enough to secure
the maximum of ease and vigor of
stroke.
"The whole constitutes a balanced
perfection which is as beautiful in its
proportion as it Is efficient in its ac
tion. The edge of the blade rounds
gently at its extremities for ease of
entrance to the wood and recovery
from it; above these rounded ends of
the cutting edge the blade is made
somewhat thinner front and back
than through the body of the wedge,
and for a similar reason, namely, that
there may be greater recovery for the
next stroke. The head is just mas
sive enough to balance the blade and
is either made square for striking
a nonpenetrating blow or is gently
rounded."
Salesmen and Smiles.
"The smile is one of the greatest as
sets of the successful salesman or
saleswoman." says the manager of a
department store linen department
11 1 makes friends for the store as read
ily as do moderate prices and good
goods.
"The ability to smile for eight hours
a day is a trait hard to acquire and
possessed by few store help. Yet it
can be gained by constant practice
the watching of oneself and not per
mitting at any time the slightest indi
cation of a frown. -
"I recall my first purchase In a New
York department store. I was directed
to the counter where I conld find the
special article of my choice. I was met
by a gruff "What is it?' from the sales
man. 1 recall I said. 'Nothing,' and I
haven't been In that store "since."
New York Press. -
The Answer.
"I just found out last night" be said,
looking nervously at bis watch, "that
a man's a fool to allow himself to be
henpecked."
There was a general roar of laugh
ter, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Then one of the men asked:
"And bow did you come to make that
startling discovery 7V
"Well. It was this way. My wife
was jumping on me something fierce,
and 1 conldn't figure out bow I de
served It So I spunked up and said:
Look here, why do yon always pick
on me when you're sore? Why don't
you raise thunder with Albert 'once in
awhile?" i Albert's our youngest boy.)
'Why. she Rays. 'Albert wouldn't stand
for it that's whyf"
