on_the opportunities that exist there. There is no question but what this || country needs to have as good a line || upon market conditions throughout: the world as other countries do. There Pied of articles which are not wanted, and if we are going to endeavor to build up our trade it should be dome in a businesslike manner, which ought to result from the efforts of such an ex- change. As it is now dependence is generally placed upon the consular representa- tives. They have done good work but there is a good chance to improve it and certainly the field is broad for those who are equipped to study the forelgn wants and give this country the bemefit of it. The government is therefore doing a commendable thing in lending encouragement to a move- ment to improve trade relations where they already exist and to establish them where there are none today. “PORK” THE SAME EVERYWHERE In conmection with the cry against “pork” the instances are frequent where the appropriations which are intended for southern points are held up to the light and this Is true whether it regards rivers and harbors or public buildings. _Concerning thi: there are those who hold that “pork’ applies not solely to one section of the country but to the entire Union, and there is of course the truth back of such a statement. It ought to make no difference in what part of the country needless ap- propriations are asked for, if they are not worthy, if the creek does not war- rant government development, or if a hamlet is not doing sufficlent postal business to warrant such an outlay as would be occasioned by the purchase of a site and the erection of a costly structure, they should not be sanc- tioned. The log rolling system, where- by those in congress from one section of the country are willing to favor a project in another section. not solely upon merit, but because the support of the representatives of other sections is needed in order to get through ap- propriations which they are trying to secure for their constituents, s re- sponsible for the pork barrel. The needless spending of money is no more entitled to favor because it happens to concern a New England project than as if it applied to Texas. The fact is that there is no excuse for the large appropriations which are so heavily loaded with ‘“pork” and when the effort is being made to ex- clude that _undesirable feature it should apply to all sections alike. Good business rather than favoritism should govern. LOOK TO THE TARIFF. When the democrats are talking about resorting to an increase in the tariff, it must B recognized that they are confrontéf with an unfavorable financial situation. They have had experience with their policy of tariff for revenue only and it has failed to produce the desired resuits, so that tederal taxation has had to be resort- ed to to an unheard of extent and still they are not only unable to make ends meet but are confronted with a sub- stantial deflcit. i And while this country is showing an increase in its foreign trade, the department of commerce figures make it plain that it is buying more goods elsewhere.

There is nothing to indicate that the- dove of peace is thriving on the notes which are being written by the belligerents of Burope. Villa is now inquiring what the at- titude of this country is towards an- other republic in the northern part of Mexico. That ought to be politely re- ferred to Carranza. There are quite a number of places which realize now that if they are in need of a stirring up all that is re- quired is to get a powder or munition factory located in their midst. It is quite evident from Foreign Minister Balfour’s note that Great Britain, has decided that there s no help f6r the Sick Man of Europe. It will not be long now before the baseball squads will be slipping away to the southland and that means the opening of a season which cannot come too quick for the fans. Inasmuch as the king of Siam has ordered a yacht to cost a half mil- lon dollars, it is quite evident that the high cost of living doesn’t bother royalty very much. Chicago is facing a coal famine, but all through the fall the shortage in the east was attributed to the fact that coal was being shipped in great quantities to the lake reglon.

Her money was her own and Hughie was always just a little betler dressed, just a little more up to date than the boys with whom he played— had always the newest mechanical oy, the soonest discarded for a newer, Safely through the kindergarten, the primary and the grammar schools, at the high school he balked, and cigar- ette between yellowed fingers, non- chalantly informed Tillle that “the stuff they passed out to you was all rot and he wanted to go to work and have few cents in his pocket lik: the other fellows.” Tillie must have gasped at this, for she knew, none better, that he had supplied all the boys in his ccowd Tith pocket money for many moons, ut— ‘Hughle’s so ambitious,” she boast- ed—“he wants to be something and do_something.” “Um,” prophesied the pessimist. “He'll do something all right.” And he did. He began by doing a little stunt that necessitated a_short industrial school term, and Tillie tailor-made grew shabby round the edges while the bills were being paid. But Tillie’s chin tilted a trifle more. Her forcedylaugh was a little more ready. In fact, as Tillies boy nass- ed from one escapade to another, Til- lie unconsclously registered each mis- eed. Hughie decided to go into busiuess for himself. Tillie browbeat his LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mr. Editor:—My January predictions printed in The Bulletin were: “January, 1917, will be another fine month. That is, it will not be exceed- ingly cold; unless all signs fail there will_be considerable high wind.

Later we listened breathlessly to a vivid account of the terrible woman who tried to inveigle him into a life of wronsdoing—his consequent disil- lugion and desire to quit the road “We need him here,” Tillie told us, “his father is establishing a_brancl store, and of course we would raiher haye one of our own in charg “He'll make money,” prophesiec. the pessimist and about a month later. | “He's joined the church—he's playing stakes this time, sure,” and our morning paper told us rot long after that Tiilie'’s boy was going abroad. Regularly thereatter we gazed at the picture post cards from foreign purts, admiring them as if we never saw th like before and listening enrapturcd to scraps of Hughie's letters. In Lyons, I think it was, he broke his leg—we looked very wise at the copy of the doctor’s certificate (in French) and" pretended not to notice that we met Tillie more and more often at the money order window. The audacity of Hughie’s next move however, found us totally unprepared and literally took away our breath. It seems as nearly as we ever knew that father finally balked at son’s be- coming a remittance man and bade the ‘money order business cease. Came a proud letter from. son Hughie, saying in substance that they had been very kind, he could earn his own living and would trouble them no more. Six months' inferval—Tillie’s color fading and her hand trembling as she made out her sales slips in her hus-| band’s store—then startled once more by the morning paper, we went in a body to condole with Tillie. We found her in brand new tailor- made and imaculate pumps, radiant, starry eyed. “Good morning. Yes, isn't it fine? Isn't it grand? He has enlisted; he's in the trenches. Lots of Americans in Paris have done the same. His father is wild, but I, oh, I am so glad, so glad. Youw'd all thought he didn’t amount to anything,” she blazed. “Oh, ves, I've read you like a book with your smiles and your soft words and your sly looks, but now,” she sobbed, “if he comes back, or if he—if he—" We turned and went slowly out. “The war isn’t over yet” breathed the pessimist, eoftly. But Tillie had come into her own.—Boston Post. STORIES OF THE WAR | National Forests Widely Used For Recreation. That over a million and a half peo- ple use the National Forests as play- grounds each year was the statefient made by Henry S. Graves, Chief of the Forest Service, before the American Forestry Association at Washington. “Located "as they are” said Mr. Graves, “the National Forests com- prise many regions of superb scenery and unexcelled recreation attraction. In a very real sense these attractions of the Forests constitute a natural re- source that must be safeguarded, util- ized, and developed.” Mr. Graves stated that a quarter of a century had passed since the estab- lishment of the first National Forests by a law which marked the beginning of a new and more enlightened meth- od of public land administration. The nineteenth century land system, he said, was one wholly of land distribu- tion, which was successful as applied to agricultural lands but unsuccessful as applied to non-agricultural lands chiefly valuable for growing timber. The keynote of the present-day policy is to secure such a disposition, use, and development of the public’ lands as will render a maximum service to the public. “The country has recos- nized that public lands of chief value for forest purposes and essential to protect water resources should remain under public control,” Mr. Graves con- tinued. “The struggle is now on as who shall own and control the public water-power sites, the coal, soil, phos- phate, and potassium deposits and the common grazing lands that are mnot suited to development by individuals under any of the homestead laws. “Ten states in the East have invit- ed the government to establish Na- tional Forests in their borders by pur- chase of mountain lands, while others have inaugurated a policy of acquir- ing state forests. Underlying this movement is the recognized principle that there are public interests in mountain forests that can not or will not be safeguarded under private ownership. Private ownership of tim- berlands has been for the most part speculative and temporary in charac- ter. Where Ipublice interests are In- volved, the public must protect itself by direct ownership, cooperation, and ultimately a measure of regulation.” More and more of the larger pri- vate holdings are being posted with “No Trespassing” signs, Mr. Graves said, and are closed to the public. “The closing of private lands points to the value of publicly owned forests lands where people living in cities and not agricultural regions can find an_ op- portunity for the refreshment and re- creation that can be secured by a sojourn in the forests. Transportation Problems of South- eastern Europe. Transportation problems -in the southeast of Europe will be important matters for discussion Whe peace terms are arranged for the according to_economic_authorities of the Central Powers. -Two things are necessary, it is declared: A new rail- way line connecting Central Europe with Constantinople, and the develop- ment of the Danube for transportation Ppurposes.

It has been suggested that this line would cross the Danube at Bazias, where an existing Hungarian line has its terminus, and that south of the Danube a connection would be made with an existing line extending from Semendria, south along the Bul- garian frontier, and thence to Sofia. Regarding the Danube, it is declared that the development of the waterway was hindered before the war by Ru- mania’s refusal to ratify agreements regarded as necessary for the proper atilization of the river for traffic. Since the Austro-German victories in Rumania, the demand had been voiced in the Central Powers, that, whatever be the future status of Rumanian po- litically, the peace conditions must guarantee that all restrictions upon the free navigation of the Danube be abolished. It is said also an effort will be made to arrange for further improvement of the mouths of the river, and also to facilitate traffic at the Iron Gate where the stream breaks through the moun- tains from Hungary and Serbia into Rumania. Twenty years ago a great scheme of improving the river at this point was carried out, including the blasting of a side channel through the rapids, but this proved inadequate for upstream traffic and it was not until last year, after Germany and Austria- Hungary had_contracted for immense supplies in Rumania—that upstream business assumed any considerable proportions. Under the stress of ne- cessity the authorities then listened to the advicc of engineers and allowed them to build a traction railway along the side of the stream for the tugging of flotillas of barges through the Iron Gate. This barge traffic is expected to be reopencd soon on a still larger scale in order to brin~ away great stores of grain and oil captured in Rumania. But a canal around the Iron Gate is declared to be the only thing to make the stream a wholly dependable wa- terway. The plans for this feature call for a canal only 14 miles in length, which would cut oft the 100p now some 70 miles in length, containing the dangerous rapids. The canal would have to be carried through a tunnel three or four miles long. It would then emerge into the valley of a small stream emptying into the = Danube. This would be dammed at several places, so that there would be very little cutting, besides the tunnel. Ger- many is very much interested in this project, in view of the fact that the Upper Danube, as it seems now, will, within due time, be connected 'by a large canal with the Rhine or the Eibe, or probably both of these German streams. ‘Whenever a Connecticut legislator is disgruntled and does not know what else to do he proposes an investiga- tion of the New Haven road. A Sug- gestion to_this effect has just eman: ted from Hartford.
