THE MORNING OREGGKIAN, . TUESDAT. OCTOBER "21, 1902. TRUE TO YOUNGER Miss Mueller Says "He Was Mine, and Mine Alone." WIRES AUTHORITIES AS MUCH She Leaves Boise for St. Paul and Promises to Punish, a Xnmbcr of Men. for the Death of Her Lover. BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 20. (Special.) Miss Alexia J. Muller, the sweetheart and be trothed wife of Jim Tounger, the noted outlaw, who committed suicide In St. Paul Saturday night, has been In Boise , about three months, and has been .liv ing at the home of Mrs". French, Sixth and State streets. The news of the sui cide was secured by her from newspaper dispatches, but later a dispatch was re ceived from, her sister, announcing the tragedy. She was deeply affected. Miss Muller Intended to start for St. 'Paul this morning, but met with a dlsap i polntment. Her sister stated money would be sent her, but It did not arrive, and Miss 'Muller was obliged to remain until to- night. During the day Miss Muller sent a dispatch to the authorities at St Paul, saying: "Jim's body is mine; it must bo cremated." "He Is Mine and Mine Alone.? Discussing the tragedy today, she said: "Jim wrote me under the date of Octo ber 16, stating he had given up all hopo .and was out of work. Saturday he fel egraphed me: 'Don t write.' He was driven to this act by his persecutors. I am his wife, you know, spiritually. No scandal has ever attached to my name. B-ut before God he is mine and mine alone. My life will be to place him right before the world. I have wired the authorities to cremate his. body. It was his request." Expected to Marry Soon. The purpose of Miss Muller In coming to Boise was to regain her health, which was much broken. She had completed her outing and was preparing to start home in a short time. Miss Muller about 30 years of age. She and Jim Tounger expected to marry this fall or next Spring. She became acquainted with the man during the prosecution of prison mission work. He attracted her; she became convinced ho was Innocent and she actively Interested herself In secur ing his liberty. It is apparent thatvMlss Muller rather feared that Younger would commit suicide. She was not surprised when the news came. Now that he Is dead she will attempt to set some mat ters right which she alleges are wrong. It is her claim that he was Innocent and suffered for others. From what she Bays of Cole Tounger, the brother, it is evi dent she believes that Jim. suffered to shield him from punishment for crimes not known to the public. She is also incensed against the Warden of the Min nesota Penitentiary, and It is apparent she intends to make some disclosures of alleged wrongdoing on his part during the time Jim was confined there. The time has come, she says, for xne guilty to suffer. There Is a tale to be unfolded and she proposes to unfold it. Miss Muller is from an influential fam ily. Her father is living in St. Paul. She wrote a history of the Police and Fire Departments of St. Paul and did work on the Salt Lake Herald during the Presi dential campaign of 1900. fane is now writing a novel. She left this afternoon for St. Paul. She is a woman of inde pendent means. BODY HAS DEEN EMBALMED. Authorities "Will Hold It Until Ar rival of Yonnccr's Sister? ST. PAUL, Oct. 20. The disposition to bo made of Jim Toungcr's body has not yet been determined. The body has been embalmed and will be kept here until Mrs. Ella Rollins, of Dallas, Tex., sister of the Tounger brothers, can be heard from. "When alive Tounger frequently expressed the wish that his body be ere mated when he died. This plan will be carried out. The body may be cremated here, or taken to Kansas City for ere matlon. The parents of the Toungers and other deceased members of the family. Includ ing Bob Tounger, who died In the State Penitentiary, are buried In a cemetery near Kansas City. Ultimately. Jim Tounger's mortal remains will undoubt edly rest In the family burial lot. It is not probable that Cole lounger will be allowed to accompany his broth er's body away from here, because of the parole governing his whereabouts. The parole forbids his leaving the state, and the parole cannot be modified, ex cept at a regular meeting of the Board of Pardons. The board will not meet again until November 8. A special meet ing can be called on 10 days' notice, but it is said the parole cannot be extended to a pardon, if this course was desired, at a special meeting. TAFT ANSWERS TEACHERS Complaints About Philippine Posi tions Not Well Founded. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. Some time ago complaints were made by school teachers in the Philippines about the hardships which they endured. It was asserted that good places were given to a few teach ers and bad places to others. Complaint also was made that the condition of the currency caused a loss to the teachers, and that the commissary supplies of the-, insular administration were not good. All these complaints were referred to Govern or Taft. His reply has now been re ceived at the War Department. Governor Taft says that in the very na ture of things the teachers find to enter upon duties which were largely of a mis sionary character and hardships were cer tain to be the portion of some. It was impossible to make all assignments equal, but as the facts became known, efforts would be made to equalize the duties of teachers, so that all would share In the pleasant duties as well as in the arduous work. Governor Taft says that the completion of the boats that have been building for the insular government there wiil be a better system of supply from the commis sary department. PRESIDENT TO BE EXONERATED. Free From Blame on Account of As sault Upon Spanish Consul. "WASHINGTON. Oct. 20. It Is learned from Manila papers received at the War Department that upon an Investigation the President of Cebii was exonerated from all blame on account of the assault made upon the Spanish Consul at that place. The President, however, was sus pended at the tlmo the charges were made, and has not yet been reinstated. Seventeen policemen were arrested for the assault at the time. Four were con- vlcted. The Spanish Minister. In maklne complaint to the State Department about the assault, used language which went further than that ordinarily em ployed In diplomatic correspondence, showing that his government was very much Incensed that the assault had been committed. The military telegraph has been turned over to the insular constabulary by an act of the Philippine Commission. These lines heretofore, have been operated by the signal corps of the Army. NEGRO BURNED TO DEATH Charged With Assaulting: and Then Murdering: a "White "Woman. FOREST CITY, Ark., Oct. 20. Charles Toung, a negro charged with assaulting and afterward murdering Mrs. Ed Lewis, a white woman, was burned tonight by a mob of infuriated citizens of this county. The Sheriff used every effort against this extreme measure. He had telephoned to Judge Hutton, who had promised to come tomorrow and give Immediate trial for the negro, and the leaders of the mob had given the Sheriff positive pledges that they would await the trial and take no violent measure. About 8:30 o'clock tonight a mob marched to the Jail and demanded the keys. Deputy Sheriff Murphy under- JAMES YOUNGER AND MISS ALIXIA G. MUELLER. THE CONVICT AND THE GIRL "WHOM LEGAL FICTION KEPT APART. The suicide of James Tounger, tho paroled convict, is the climax of a tragic romance. Though actually olive and able to love as intensely as any man, he was legally dead, and therefore Incapable of entering: Into a. marriage contract. De spairing of overcoming the legal obstacles to his union with Miss Allxia Mueller, the girl whose love he won when he lay wounded In prison, he ended all with a bullet James Tounger and his two brothers were sentenced to life Imprisonment, 'No vember 21, 1870. for the murder of J. L. Heywood, cashier of a Northfleld, Minn., bank. On July 14, 1901, the Tounger brothers were released from prison on parole, but, although they were permitted to go anywhere within the bounds of the State of Minnesota, the "court held them legally dead. James Tounger was badly shot about the mouth and shoulders during the fierce battle in which he was captured near Madelia, two weeks after the North field raid, and while he was in prison was frequently ill. Mls3 Mueller,, a pretty girl then residing in Stillwater, in the family of a deputy warden, had constant ccess to the penitentiary, and became Interested In Tounger because of his feebleness, and often took delicacies to him." They soon became firm friends, and Tounger told the young woman the troubles of his career as guerrilla and bandit. In spite of tho fact that he was more than 20 years her senior and In the dis grace of a prison garb, tho girl fell In love with Tounger. Both regarded their prospects of nJatrlmony as well nigh hopeless, as Tounger was scheduled to re main at Stillwater Penitentiary the remainder of his life. Then the parole came, and the couple were not long In reaching tho conclusion v to get married.! Miss. Mueller's St. Paul relatives are people of prominence, one of them having been recently a member of the Legislature, and considerable objec tion was ralsedVo the proposed nuptials because of the stigma which It "was feared would attach c.4 the bride. Reluctant consent, however, was obtained from the blood kin. andjTounger, happy over his conquest) repaired to the County Clerk and asked for A license. Mr. Rogers, jthe Clerk, generous, though Just, hesitated, and, doubting his power In the premises, placed the case before Attorney-General Douglas. This official spent days going over the musty tomes of the state law library, but he could find no authority anywhere for the Issuance of a marriage license to any body actually or legally dead. I Mr. Douglas" extended his sympathy, but told Tounger the only way in which he could become a legal benedict would be to get through a supplementary legisla tive act giving the Board of Control (formerly the Board of Pardons) the power to grant a full pardon, -which would, of course, carry with It complete restoration to citizenship. All this would take time, as there would be no session of the Legislature until next January. Tounger evidently had no faith In any relief from that body, so used a pistol to make the facts agree with the legal fiction that ho was dead. took to communicate with Sheriff "Will lams, whereupon members of the mob took the cell keys from Murphy, and, breaking in the jail door with sledge-hammers, dragged the prisoner from his cell. Sheriff Williams had arrived in the meantime, his protests not being heeded. The mob took the negro to a point about ha'.f a mile east of town, bound him. piled wood around him and set fire to It. The negro begged plteously for his life, but the mob turned deaf eaTs. In a short time, the flames leaped up, and. he expired In the presence of the several hundred men. After Toung had been put to death, the mob started In quest of another negro, al leged to have been Implicated In the kill ing of Mrs. Lewis. At midnight he had not been found. BANK VAULT BLOWN UP. Robbers Secure In Neighborhood of $20,000 in North Dalcota. MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 20. George "W. Smith, general agent for an Insurance company, received Information from Sum mit, S. D., tonight that the Bank of Sum mit had been blown up by robbers and the vaults robbed. The details were meager, and Mr. Smith was unable to communi cate with the bank officials. The loss Is estimated at from 510.000 to $20,000. From what can bo learned the robbers entered the building this morning, and used a quantity of explosives which wrecked the structure and gave admit tance to th evault. , The robbers escaped.

Stanley Spencer, the aeronaut, who recently made a successful trip over London, traveled 25 miles this afternoon in his airship. He roso from Blackpool, but finding tho northwest breeze too strong to make headway against It, he proceeded In a southeaster ly direction and landed in the open coun try.

IRISH LEAGUE IN SESSION LEADERS OF INTERNATIONAL REP UTATION IN ATTENDANCE. Redmond, Davitt and Dillon Repre sent Ireland Bonrke Coctoan Is Chosen Temporary Chairman. BOSTON, Oct. 20. A notable gathering of leaders of International reputation made remarkable the opening of the first convention of the Irish National League in this city today. John E. Redmond, M. P.; Michael Davitt, 'and John Dillon, M. P., envoys for Ireland; Hon. Edward Blake. Irish member of Parliament; Unit ed States Senator Smith, of New-Jersey; Patrick Egan. ex-United , States Minister to Chile, and Patrick Ford, of the Irish "World, were among the delegates. The convention was opened at 11:45 by National President John Flnnerty. Bourke Cockran was chosen temporary chairman. In addressing the convention Mr. Cockran said that an. appeal to arms by the Irish people would be folly rather than patriot- ism, but that when the truth of the Irish question had' become apparent to the world an adjustment ot the difficulty would be possible. The committee on cre dentials reported that 6S7 delegates, ln- eluding 127 delegates-at-large, representing 21 statt3 and the District of Columbia and Canada, were entitled jto seats. The convention was then organized with John F. Flnnerty, of Chicago, as perma nent chairman. Committees were ap pointed with the following chairmen: Rule?. General Obelrne, New York: by lams, M. P. Curran, Massachusetts; plat form and resolutions, M. G. Ryan, Phila delphia; ways and means. United States Senator Smith, New Jersey; permanent organization, Patrick Ford, New Tork. Before the afternoon adjournment speeches were made by M. P. Curran, of Boston, and General James R. Obelrne, of New Tork. After the committee on ways and means had been perfected, a number of letters1 of regret were read, notably from Presi dent Roosevelt, Governor Crane, Mayor Collins and Bishop Conaty. John Dillon one of the Irish envoys, pre faced Ills' remarks by saying that he was amazed at the strength of the movement In America, and the success of the con vention, both of which, he said, would. give courage to the brethren In Ireland I and consternation to her enemies, He said the league needed assistance In Ireland because the people there were disarmed, because they were not allowed free speech, a free discussion in the press, the liberty of public meeting, and, lastly. trial .by jury. This, he said, is tyranny. He recounted some of the experiences of John O'Donnell and William Redmond ir trying to address meetings. There are those who will tell you, he said, "that the true remedy is the revival of Irish indus tries; but I say there will never be a re vivai until the hand of the landlord is re moved." He urged sending to Ireland ( steady contributions that the contest against Englan might not flag. ' Michael Davitt, the next speaker, said there were organized in Ireland 113: branches, with an average membership of 0, which gives a total memebrship of 110,000. He also said there were SOD branches in England, Scotland and Wales i Mr. Davitt said he believed the brethren j In this country at that time deserted the caupe of Ireland In not fighting England The platform and resolutions were then presented. They pledged the convention to uncylng allegiance In the cause of Ire- iandls independence, assert the right of the Irish race to carry on the war against England by means of honorable weapons assert the belief that the leaders In Ire land are best fitted to direct and carry cn the contest; demand the arraignment of England at the bar of public opinion through dissemination of facts regarding her rule: declare that the United Irish League is the only menace to England's rule In Ireland, and, finally, urge upon the members of this country to contribute liberally to the cause. The convention adjourned until tomorrow, ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT" FINERTY He Upbraids Britain for Alleged WroDRd Visited Upon Ireland. BOSTON, Oct. 20. President Finerty. In opening the convention said the delegates had again assembled in the dual capacity of American citizens and allies of their Irish kindred to lift up their voices in I behalf of Ireland's tillers of the soli to own the land they cultivate. Now 60,000 Irish husbandmen are farmer proprietors, and they are so because of the labors and sacrifices of Parnell and Davitt, O'Brien and Dillon, Biggar and Redmond, who followed In the track of the pioneers for Irish liberty. "Today there are other Irish patriots, tho brothers and friends of Ireland's del egates to the convention, wearing tho convict's clothes and performing hard labor In Irish Jails because they have dared to tell the English Prime Minister that his rule In Ireland Is founded upon in vasion, usurpation, confiscation and the breach of treaties which even savage vir tue would Kaye -respected, but which English greed and Jealousy systematically violated. "The Anglo-Normans, at the close of the 12th century, introduced their foul feu dal system into Ireland. Before they came the Irish lands were the property of all the people and were held In trust by monarch, prince and chief. But tho invaders did notj&espect the laws which governed ancient Ireland and which were, in the main, models of wisdom and jus tice. On the contrary, they overrode tUcm from tho first, and after vanquishing fathers and brothers in the field or by traitor methods they married the daugh ters by force and' laid claim to the lands which were the common property of all the Irish people and not of a favored and privileged few. 'r "Ireland did not tamely submit to this new and violent condition of affairs, but as history tells has fought long and per sistently for liberty. The Anglo-Norman feudal system was paramount in Ireland until Parnell, supported by the Lanu League of which the United Irish League is the lineal successor, made a breacn in Its brazen shield. Catholics and TXfxtz estantB alike were persecuted ana tne outrages forced them to emigrate to the American colonies, where they took their part in the war for 'independence. Since January 1, 1S01, Ireland has .been, to all Intents and purposes, an English pnpv Ince. The union act wined out, as far as parchment and seal could do It, her dis tinctive nationality, but the hearts and hands of the bulk of the Irish people havo been and are Inflamed and raised against the provincial condition. They have not accepted the brand of social and political Inferiority. "English rule stands self-condemned by the official reports of Its own servants, which show that Ireland has today a smaller population th'an she had In 1801, and that within the last 60 years 1,250,000 of her people starved to death; more than 2,000,000 were evicted from their holdings and 4,000,000 at least sought refuge from British tyranny In this and other free countries. A government, whether native or foreign, that could and can find no remedy for this wholesale destruction of an ancient and highly endowed people has no right to exist. It has sinned against the beneflaence of God and tho Inherent rights of mankind. "Under more favorable conditions the -Irish people would bo entirely Justified in resorting to arms to end this huge ini quity. Right and Justice are on their side and present opportunity alone Is want ing. With a powerful ally to furnish her with the nucleus of an army and with the munitions of war, Ireland, by puttfng every able-bodied man in the field, could win her Independence, "out without such an ally nothing short of a miracle could render her victorious. The men upon Irish ground are the men to decide tho policy of their country.. So long as they keep the green flag flying and make no compromise of their right to be free and independent their American kinsmen are and will be their allies and auxilia ries. "Ireland .must fight England with such weapons as she has ready. She must not submit to be extinguished while waiting an opportunity to stride. She is threat ened with one great and pressing danger extinction by emigration. As her man ufactures, except In the line of linen and a few other staples,' are lmost destroyed Dy jiaigusn competition, wnicn nas everj advantage that wealth, plant and skill can give, her young people are in a great measure cut off from skilled labor pur suits, and agriculture is the only other alternative of employment. The b.est lands of Ireland are held by alien and ab sentee landlords. Tho worst are occu pied by the tillers of the soil.. Between these two classes there is an Irrepressi ble conflict. "The Irish landlords are offered a settle ment tantamount to 40 years' rental for the lands they hold in general by the law of conquest or the process of confiscation These lands belong by hereditary right to the Irish people. But the Irish people do not ask for a new confiscation, but for condemnation and purchase by loan on terms of easy repayment. When, Instead of 60.000 600,000 heads of Irish tenant faml lies become proprietors, a tourniquet will have been applied to tho bleeding arteries of Ireland. The young people, the pride and flower of their country, will remain at home and, beneath the genial skles-of their native land, make her fertile soil blossom as a rose. And with prosperity will come liberty. Its "handmaiden. "England herself must be growing tired of the cruel Irish landlords whom she up holds by her Sheriffs and her soldiers Balfour and Wyndham are making a last effort In behalf of their clients, the land lords. They have dug up the gaunt and ghastly remains of old Edward I, the hammer of tho Scotch, and with this rusty, rotten old hammer they are at tempting to put down the United Irish League. They have hammered a dozen Irish members of Parliament ,and about SQ0 local leaders into Jail. "The meeting today." paid President FInerty, "Is to express the sentiments of the Irish on the Irish question and to welcomo Ireland's chief and his fellow delegates. A year has not elapsed since the United Irish League of America was temporarily organized. In spite of sense less opposition in some quarters and un manly apathy in others it has increased and multiplied throughout the American continent and has furnished the true men In England with a respectable amount of the smews of war to carry cn in a manly manner the noble struggle for land and prosperity. The Prctestarts of the Norm and the Catholics of the South have joined hands for the salvation of their coun try which presages a long day of glory anq prosperity." President FInerty referred to the assist ance he had received from the National secretary, Mr. John O'Callaghan. of Bos ton; Mr. John Jay Joyce, of New Tork Dr. J. P. Martin, of Baltimore, and Mr. r. Bhelley O'Ryan. of Chicago, also Na tlonal Treasurer T. B. Fitzpatrlck, of Boston, and the other officers and the members of the executive and general or ganlzing committees. Thanks, too, he said, were due to Messrs. William Red mond and Joseph Devlin, members of Parliament, for their campaign of organ lzatlon throughout America last Spring. in conclusion, he welcomed Mr. John E Redmond anq the other delegates America. to ANOTHER FOE OF BILLBOARDS.

A service In memory of friends and members who have died during the year was a touching fea ture of tho fourth day's sesion of the Na tional W. C. T. U. convention. Reports of superintendents were alEO presented. During the forenoon 10-minute reports were made by seven superintendents. Mrs. Emilie D. Martin, of New York, re ported for the department of literature and art. Mrs. Ma,rtin said there was no more hopeful sign on the horizon of the organization than that it had gained the Influence of public sentiment. The press reflects public sentiment and during the past year the journals of the country have given larger space to purity and temperance. Mrs. Martin asked for the adoption of a resolution passed by the New York Coun ty W. C. T.

Mrs. Martin also urged the adoption of Miss Helen Miller Gould's resolution to regulate the midway dances at the St. Louis World's Fair, which she said had been adopted by the woman managers. She said: "We take courage in the fact that the Controller of the Treasury has decided that the appropriation of $5,003,000 for the exposition would be withheld unless the contract to close the gates to visitors on Sunday during the. whole duration of the fair is .executed." Therehas been 250,000 pages of literature printed and distributed free of cost dur ing the year. 1 Mrs. Mary F.

ATTACKS TRADE IJXIONS. , President of British Labor Associa tion Strong in His Denunciation. LEEDS, England. Oct. 20. The 10th an nual convention of the Labor Association opened here today. The delegates repre sented 400,000 workmen. President John Chandler made a virile attack on trades unionism. He held that the growth of in dustrial freedom greatly tended toward the diminution of strikes, and declared that trades unjons' excess In violence .to personal freedom wns a disgrace to labor in this country. Nothing could more forc ibly illustrate the Intolerance which per verted trades -unionism than tho state ment said to ahve been made to Rev. Charles Edwards, a Pennsylvania clergy man, some time ago by a nonunlonlst, that striking coalmlners had threatened to cut off the cars of every man returning to work. "If British trades unions do not sym pathize with these abominable atrocities," the speaker ' added, "why do they vote 1000 sterling in aid of the strikers of America, who made such an infamous threat?"

Jumping off moving trains and street cars, as practiced today, is a fruitful source of nervous disorders, and not one fully recognized for its importance by any school except osteopaths. Yet the facts are easily comprehended. Certain It is that nervousness in all its protean forms, from irritability, neurasthenia and gen eral nervous collapse to paralysis, is so caused, and that the careless habit of many people of bowling off moving cars stiff-legged lays the foundation for these disorders every hour of the day. In leading the strenuous life of our cities men and women seem unable to wait to get to their journey's end. Before trains come to hair a stop at crossings unu piri forms fidgety pedestrians with muscles tense arop from car platforms and almost before their bodies have recovered from the forward momentum are stalking a mao footrace against time in the opposite di rection. This enterprise saves 10 seconds, of course, for that particular errand; but possibly it hastens by many months one's journey to the grave. Positive Injury Is thereby done to the spine and nervous sys tem, which must gather in cumulative ef fect until one day the wJiole nervous or ganism may go to pieces. More slips of the vertebrae from their true positions one upon the other, and the strains brought to bear In consequence upon the ligaments and muscles binding them to gether, are what first occur from these sudden Innumerable poundings of hard heels against adamant pavements. These seemingly trivial mishaps to the body are CATARRH, D AND Cured to Stay Cured Catarrh This disease affects all the mucous mem branes, which form the skin within the body and lino the nose, the throat, the Eustachian tubes, thebronchlal tubes, the lungs and are connected continuously with the lining of all the organs of the ' body. Cntnrrli usually begins with cold la the head. The discharge creeps up the nose, causing distress In the heady and throat, and then Inflames the little air tubes leading to the middle ear. ' S If you have Catarrh, cure it before it ! attacks these little tubes, because you arc' In great danger of Deafness Or at least impaired hearing. It Is Catarrh eating its way into th,e car that first blocks up the tubes, causing buzzing and roaring noises, and when the dis charge cannot escape you become deaf. 93 per cent of all Impaired Hearing Is due to Catarrh. Cure your Catarrh and you escape the blighting affliction of Deafness. , Bronchial and Lung Diseases "Neglect your Cntnrah and it poisons the air you inhale Into your lungs. Your bronchial tubes first get sore. They ulce rate, an.d that racking cugh raises a rotten discharge. If this doesn't alarm you enough to get your Catarrh cured I It won't be long until the disease has, stolen along from the bronchial tubes into the lungs. Then It begins- to feed on the lung cells until it forms- ulcers and cavities and you have Consumption Check your Catarrh before It reaches the lungs, and cure It, and you are In no danger of this disease, so fatal in this climate. Cure It before you have swal lowed so much of the prisonous discharge Into the stomach, where It Invariably sets up tho so-called. Dyspepsia Which is only a symptom of Catarrh of the Stomnch, and leads to much other suffering, often fatal. In the bowels, liver and kidneys. Cure the Catarrh In your nose and throat and you will seldom Tiave any stomach or bowel troubles. An Indisputable Fact Doctors Copeland and Montgomery treat and cure more cases of deafness, bronchitis, asthma, lung and stomach troubles than any other living physicians. They are the only doctors who cure to stay cured, as thousands have voluntar ily testified In these columns. Home Treatment Doctor Copeland requests all who are ailing, all who feel a gradual weakening. or all who realize that their health is being undermined by some unknown complaint, to cut out this slip, mark the productive cf the most far-reaching con sequences.

When he clears a .tract of the wilderness of Its century-old timber he sows the seed for a new" forest, although the new crop will not mature for another century- Ho seeks even by the scientific direction of nature's work to leave for posterity a better forest than he found. Surely, then, forestry Is not an ar to be practiced by an individual. The simple lumbering of our forefathers, making the most profit for today and Ignoring tho morrow, is more attractive. Since tho forester cur tails his profits by making provision for posterity, forestry can only be practiced by the state or by great Investment cor porations, operating on so large a scale that the distant f itture must enter into the calculations of this generation. Strictly economic considerations de mand, that tho state prevent the despoil ing of our American forests by lumber men and pulpmakers. The yearly lum ber harvest in this country now amounts to more than 40.000,000,000 feet. Great tracts of virgin forest land have been de vastated and no provision made for the future. The Increasing demand for dally newspapers and many editions of them is having a marked effect on forests close to the centers of densest population. A single New York newspaper consumes 140 tons of paper every day, or 100.000,000 pounds a year. Every day In the year 30 acres of timber must be cut to feed the presses of this single newspaper. This is an exceptionally large consumption of wood pulp the largest in the world but other newspapers approach this con sumption, and the yearly cut of pulp makers is rapidly increasing. In conse quence, the available supplies of spruce nre diminishing in the United States, and the pulpmakers are moving northward j into the Canadian forests for their raw material. By the creation of great forests and reservations by the National and state governments, like the 3,000.000-acre pre serve in the Adirondacks and the pro posed Appalachian preserve, the state in tends to eet certain barriers to stay the progress of the lumbermen and pulpmak ers. But professional foresters point out that the best interests' of the Nation are not being conserved by the present policy of forbidding the cutting of trees on state lands. Alarmed by the denuding of American forest lands, the idea has gained ground that it Is a crime to cut ' down a tree. "Woodmen, spare that tree!" is the cry. But It Is as Idle to forbid the harvesting of wood crops when they reach maturity as It would be to forbid a farmer to reap his grain. Man must have food from the fields and wood from the forests. As well stop the min ing of Iron ore as set barriers against j lumbermen. Timber must be had. and i millions of trees must be felled every J year. What is demanded Is not prohibi- ( tivo legislation. f but scientific sylvicul ture, so that new wood crops may be raised to provide for future demands. t Mr. Moody's Assertion. Boston Herald.

But we have a strong Im pression that this debate was never re ported outside the columns of the Con gressional Record. What Mr. Moody meant was that it was not generally known to the people of the nation that there was any duty on anthracite coal In the bill, and. Indeed, the act Is so worded as to prevent its being evident to the gen eral public that it is there. That was cortainly the effect in this quarter. It will be remembered' that when It was first stated, after the coal scarcity began to be serious, that there was a duty on an thracite coal. It was at once denied in tha high tariff press.
