This has been dem- enstrated by the rapid depletion of many of our fe sources. Years ago the forests were expansive and it seemed as if they could be cut down ruthlessly. As the years went by the cutting went, on and now the timber supply is limited to certain centers. Un- jess something is done, and done quickly, to add to bur timber resources by replacing what is taken, there will be irreparable loss. The same is true of the coal supply. What might happen if there is not reasonable care taken of the supply is brought home more forcibly when there is a temporary shortage due to transportation dif- The question to consider is not how fast the supply may be drained without looking to the future, but how much may be conserved so that there will be no danger in the future of a too lim- $o- ited supply. For some years past there has been considerable study of substitutes for coal as fuel. This is one way of conserving the supply. It is not likely that we will ever be able to use an absolute substitute ‘which will eliminate coal, but its indirect applica: tion through the use of electricity for instance, will serve to guard the coal supply.

But it had its lessons as well as its ° disadvantages, which in many cases will be remem- ~ bered by a great many ry pe to persons. Before it be- ~ Came a pretty difficult matter to find a job a man was more inclined to shirk his work or to think ~he was much worse off than some other man who ;@emed to have a better job. But then came the jou¥ave of unemployment over the entire country. t« There were few sections that escaped its effects. At present it seems unemployment has dwindled to a © very small factor in our economic troubles, but we should not lose sight of a possible ce. Should there be a return the man who has worked fill his job well will be the fortunate individual. @ There is a positive lesson in unemployment. It is a lesson which may be forgotten, but since it was driven home in many cases rather forcibly, it should not be forgotten. It can be said that the lesson lay in the fact **that many lost their jobs and that the benefit they received from unemployment was altogether from the fact that they did lose their jobs. The man who was getting $10 a day and then found himself without any income certainly got a hard lesson. Very often it was something he could not avoid. But now that many of those men have gone back to jobs, some of them as good as the ones they had before, they certainly have good reason to be thankful for what they have. iN oT a Sap Foolish Mr. Fuller MER. FULLER, director of the bureau of commer ial research of “Farm and Home” has sleuthed q the bete noir of agricultural prosperity into its Piair. It is the ninety day old tariff law. “The chief hinderance after all in righting the agricultural situation, is continued difficulty in marketing abroad our farm surplus. This is pri- snarily true of grains and meats. On this side the ocean there is general agreement the new tariff serves as an exclusive wall which shuts out pay- geyment in s and thus restricts internaational barter.” Thus declares Mr. Fuller. ~ We are very fortunate to have an expert who can Meo unerringly diagnose the malady of agriculture, mdubitably Mr. Fuller has found the reason why e exported about 40,000,000 pounds of meats in ovember 1921, but only 63,000,000 pounds in Ne- rember, 1922, with the new tariff in operation; why sleo oil and lard exports in November 1921 reached 000,000 pounds, but only 79,000,000 pounds in avember, 1922, why the various grain exports, ag- gregating 56,000,000 bushels in the 1921 month, slumped to 64,000,000 bushels in the 1§ month ; why cottonseed oil showed an increase of 3,000,000 tpounds the two months compared and canned fruit creased 60 per cent in value of exports. Undeniably, also, the “general agreement” as to © new tariff being an exclusive wall restricting international barter is supported by the fact that cot Seg cons all goods far Neves make mat a bann over a period of time, imports for November nneae so idly sealeaaa that the department of commerce been over- whelmed by the work their compilation entailed. The estimate of $3,000,000,000 of imports for the first year of the new tariff, and suff it rts to keep the trade well balanced must certa: ly in- dicate that Secretary Hoover is all wrong, presid- ing as he does over a department which levels 2 trade Seleeeore over the globe, while Mr. Fuller, as a comme: researcher, is all to the mustard. But, after all, Mr. Fuller would make more im- pression with his researches if he first made an analysis of the official statistics, and not permit his charges to go off half cocked.

In- 3 stead #3 trying, to mane certain medicines to ie organic processes of the wi not those processes in the light ares ne hich “ae wrong chemical reactions? Why not look more on the human body as a series of chemical reactions than to simply view it as a mechanism? It has been found chemically that the tubercu- losis germ is destroyed by a certain dye. This is certainly a step forw: The next thing is to introduce that substance into the body in such way as not to be harmful. It will require careful study to learn how it may be taken internally with- out injuring the throat or the lungs, but if. the method can be worked out to use such a sub- stance, it will approximate the solution of the white plague: In industry when a manufacturing process fails, we look to the causes for its failure. We must find the cause, and the rest is made much simpler. Oil used in lubricating machinery must be studied in the light of its composition. Heat beyond a cer- tain point will affect it in a certain way, and as heat is created by friction, this must be borne in mind when preparing | the oil.

They ought not to be slow in ex- pressing their gratification in a way that will give substantial encouragement to that official in the courageous stand he has taken against the enemies of the government. If the government is to ob- tain the best results from its constant effort to uphold the constitution and the law, it must be ac- corded the active support of all those who desire to see the radical menace suppressed. The destroyers of confidence in government are unceasingly active. By the loudness of their voices they deceive the country as to their number. Their constant repetition of baseless -and discredited charges finally creates a conviction that there may be some measure of truth in their assertions. This is particularly true if the exponents of law and order remain silent. When his accusers had taken flight, after mak- ing their charges and failing in their proof, Mr. Daugherty was left without a possibility of that full hearing and conclusive decision to which he was entitled. His enemies, realizing that they had completely fallen down, took refuge in the cry that there would be a “whitewash.” Thus the original attack upon the department of justice has nee fwidened to an attack upon congress, and still the &ccusers remain in hiding = Fortunately there are some with the courage to take up the fight fora fair deal and for a defense of orderly American government. The Philadel- phia board of trade, has unanimously adopted res- olutions which undoubtedly voice the opinions of good citizens everywhere. Widespread action of that sort would go far to counteract. the evil work of the proponents of discontent. The resolutions read as follows: “Whereas, the Philadelphia Board of Trado views with deep concern and alarm the evidence of pocial and business unrest throughout the country; an “Whereas, the board 1s convinced that the recent charges made against the Honorable Harry M. Daugherty, attorney general, and prompted by. litical antagonism and in no way justified by fis action and conduct as an officer of the government and through influences which, if unchecked, aim at the very life of the country, and ‘Whereas, the board in common with the best thought of our le believes in the maintenance of the supremacy of law and the overthrow of those destructive forces which ‘oppose the orderly pro ceases of the law; and “Whereas, it is believed the time has come when the business interests of the country should in every way uphold the hands of the president and his cabinet against influences so dangerous to the Republic; therefore, “Resolved, that the Philadelphia Board of Trade endorses the attitude of Honorable Harry M. Daugherty, attorney general, in his efforts. to se- cure under the law the protection of life and prop- erty against the lawless combinations which threat- en and, if not checked, mean ultimately the over- throw of a government that has so far proven that those statesmen of earlier years builded wiser than they knew in shaping a constitutional government which now, more than ever, deserves and demands the loyal support of a united people.” How Would Maine View It? Pi saa of our prohibition leaders recently ap- proached the British government, or an offi- cial of it with the proposal that the British West Indies be given to the United States in payment of England’s war debt to us. The desire of the prohibitionists was to shut off the stream of assorted alcoholics now coming from those islands. They naturally did not think of asking either whether this country wants those unprofitable possessions or whether England would pay her debts with them. They were told, however that England didn’t do business that way, and especially that she wouldn't sell any of her subjects into “the slavery of pro- hibition.” That sounds rather solemn—and .a little offen- sive—but the British official must have a sense of humor for while he rejected in seeming inUignation the proposal made to him, he is quoted as saying that though England was not in the real estate business, she often had consented to readjustments of territory and that if she were approached with an offer to give Maine and her all-winter ports to Canada in return for the British West Indies, a bargain might be arranged. That would be @ fine scheme indeed! It will not be regarded as funny by the inhabitants of Maine, but the rest of us can laugh at it as a brilliant example of answering according to their folly those who are—well, of the kind that deserves thus to be answered.

But the “short ani ugly word" that describes contrary con- duct has scores of synonyms, some of them so gentle that they would hardly offend the most sensitive.

You can weaken the statement by saying. he is veracious and there is no way to add emphasis to the state- ment that he is telling the truth.
